The Monkey And The Turtle: A Philippine Folk Tale

Tara et Mike ne se sont pas choisis. Un mariage arrangé les lie, les enfermant dans une cohabitation aussi brûlante qu’explosive. Elle, audacieuse, obstinée, veut apprivoiser cet homme au regard de feu, ce mari froid, colérique, qui cache ses blessures derrière un mur de glace. Lui, hanté par ses peurs, rongé par la jalousie, lutte contre le trouble que cette femme insoumise réveille en lui. Entre affrontements et attirance, leur quotidien devient un champ de bataille où chaque mot est une arme, chaque regard une provocation. Tara veut le comprendre, le pousser à aimer. Mike veut se protéger d’elle, mais finit par brûler de la désirer. Dans cette guerre où l’amour et la haine s’enlacent, le véritable combat se joue ailleurs : apprendre à faire confiance, à respecter, à guérir. Mais quand deux âmes blessées s’affrontent, peut-on vraiment espérer la paix… ou ne récolter que les cendres d’un amour impossible ?

Narinig ni Amanda Moretti ang balitang ipapakasal siya ng kanyang ama sa isang lalaking hindi niya kilala—kaya tumakas siya mula sa tahanan ng kanyang mga magulang. Determinado siyang pumili ng sariling landas, nagsimula siyang mamuhay mag-isa at unti-unting binuo ang tahimik na kalayaang natagpuan niya sa kanyang maliit na apartment. Sa tulong ng isang bagay na siya mismo ang lumikha—isang app na ginawa niya upang matulungan siyang malampasan ang bawat araw—hindi lamang siya nakaraos kundi umangat pa. Lumago ang app, naging matagumpay, at kalaunan ay nakilala sa maraming lugar. Dahil sa tagumpay na iyon, nakilala niya ang isa sa kanyang mga kliyente—si Knoxx Xavier Vitale—isang lalaking hindi niya inakalang lubos na magbabago ng takbo ng kanyang buhay. Arogante at antipatiko. Sukdulan ang ugali nitong hindi tugma sa kanya. He kept on pestering her. Kaya nang inalok siya nitong magpanggap bilang nobya sa harapan ng mga magulang nito, sa una'y nagdadalawang-isip pa siya. Mentioning a hundred thousand dollars made her eyes sparkling of wealth. Napapayag siya nito. Ngunit mas may nakakagulat pang rebelasyon ang mangyayari kasunod.

A game of spin the bottle wasn’t supposed to change my life. I wanted to get out of our small town, and the only way to do that was to get good grades.

After transmigrating into a horror game, I realize I can hear ghosts' inner thoughts. "Oh, look, a human! I need to give her a pet!" "Why can't I touch her? Move! I gotta touch her!" "Humans! She's so tame that she's even letting us pet her!" My inner thoughts scream, "Damn it. Now I feel like a monkey in the zoo."
