Tempt Fate

Dante Matino Cruz is a delivery rider, sweating day and night just to keep food on the table and medicine for his ailing mother. Life is hard, but his pride is harder—no shortcuts, no handouts, no selling himself for money. Celestine Isla Navarro is a CEO who thrives in a world where hesitation means weakness. She’s used to buying what she wants and bending people to her will. But the day she crosses paths with Dante—sun-bronzed, stubborn, and infuriatingly unyielding—something inside her shifts. Her first proposition is reckless: a single night, no strings attached. Dante’s answer? Not for sale. But fate doesn’t end with one rejection. Celestine offers him something else: a job. A dangerous but well-paid position as her personal bodyguard. The money could save his mother, even secure work for his childhood friend, Liza. It’s everything he’s been breaking his back for—served on a silver platter. Now Dante faces a brutal choice: swallow his pride to protect his family, or stand firm against a woman who never takes “no” for an answer. What begins as a battle of wills turns into a dangerous, slow-burning game of temptation. Pride versus desire. Fire against fire. And in this game, someone will surrender. The question is—who will break first?

Jenine Ysabelle Guevarra, a simple Senior High School teacher at De La Salle University, had a conservative and old-fashioned approach to life. This led to her first boyfriend leaving her for a wealthy, sexy, and liberated woman. Since then, Jenine had become aloof with men and hadn't found a boyfriend until she reached the age of 32. For her, it was better to stay single than to get hurt again. Fate, however, had other plans. Jenine was assigned to teach the worst ABM section, where she met Huxley Baltimore, the younger brother of the man who had broken her heart. Huxley was handsome, rich, arrogant, rebellious, and a troublemaker, feared by everyone. At 20 years old, he hadn't finished Senior High because he kept dropping out of school. Even with his antics, he couldn't be expelled from the university because his family owned it. From the very first day in Huxley's class, Jenine experienced the headaches of unruly and noisy students. This was a tremendous challenge to her profession, and she wouldn't give up until she tamed these spoiled brats. However, Huxley challenged not just her profession but also her heart, manipulating her for his own game to get her fired from the university. Jenine was about to be kicked out, but Huxley intervened, saying, "I'd rather be expelled from here than lose such an outstanding teacher."

Fate. What is fate? According to my research, it is to be destined to happen, turn out, or act in a particular way. Iyon na ang dapat na mangyari e—nangyari na e. May magagawa pa ba? It is what it is kaya tatanggapin na lang? Para bang kahit anong mangyari sa buhay mo, wala ka nang magagawa. Iyon ang nakatadhana, iyon ang dapat na mangyari, iyon ang nakasulat sa libro ng buhay mo kaya wala na. Tanggapin mo na lang. I was born rich. Nakukuha ko ang lahat ng gusto ko—kailangan ko man o hindi. My attitude and personality was already rotten that nobody can tame me except for the man who introduced himself as my fiancee. If my parents were both heartless for me, he isn't. Ako lagi. Ako muna bago ang iba—bago siya. But, the story of my life isn't favor of me. From being proud and arrogant to pathetic life. Good thing that I have him. He is always the shoulder that I always have to lean on. He is like my guardian angel for taking care of me. Siya lang talaga ang may kayang umunawa sa akin. Siya lang talaga ang nag-iisang umiintindi sa akin. That's why I kept on asking him, why — why does he love me so much?
