under the oak tree ch 1

Tatlong taon na ang nakalipas simula noong maghiwalay sina Eloise at Cassian dahil matinding awayan ng kanilang mga pamilya. Napagtanto ni Cassian na mahal niya pa rin si Eloise kahit ilang taon pa ang nakalipas, nagsisi siya kung bakit iniwan niya ang babaeng pinakamamahal at sinisi sa kasalanang hindi naman siya ang may gawa. Muli siyang bumalik sa Pilipinas at desididong hanapin si Eloise. Nais niyang makabawi sa lahat ng sakit na idinulot niya rito at sa pag-asang tatanggapin siyang muli nito at ipagpatuloy ang naudlot nilang relasyon. Ngunit nalaman niyang nalubog na sa utang ang pamilya ni Eloise. Nakita itong oportunidad ni Cassian upang muling kumonekta sa dalaga. Inalok niya ito ng kasal kapalit ng pagtulong niya sa pagbayad ng utang ng kaniyang pamilya. Kahit na mayroong pag-aalinlangan sa dibdib ni Eloise ay tinanggap niya ang kasunduan at naging tulay ito upang ipagpatuloy nilang muli ang nagwakas nilang pag-ibig. Sa kabilang banda naman ay ang kanilang kasiyahan ay panandalian lamang nang malaman ni Carsen, nakababatang kapatid ni Cassian ang muling pakikipag ugnayan sa pamilya ni Eloise, na sanhi ng pagkamatay ng kanilang ina. Dulot ng matinding galit ay handang gawin ni Carsen ang lahat upang maputol ang namumuong ugnayan ng dalawa. Gagawin niya ang lahat upang mawala sa paningin nila si Eloise kahit pa ang tanging paraan lang ay kamatayan. Ang matinding pagkamuhi ba ng kanilang pamilya sa isa't isa ang magiging rason sa tuluyang paghihiwalay ng dalawa? O sapat ba ang kanilang pag-ibig upang puksain ang namumutawing poot na bumabalot sa kanila?

Masaya na at kuntento kahit naghihirap sa buhay ang dalagang si Janiya. Para sa kanya, lahat ay makakaya at malalagpasan niya basta't kasama niya ang kaisa-iss na lang niyang pamilya- ang Papa Crisanto niya. Pero paano kung isang araw, bigla na lang siyang iwan ng pinakamamahal niyang ama? Iniwan siya nito nang wala kahit maayos na paalam man lang. Iniwan siya nito nang walang kahit ano maliban sa isang pirasong papel kung saan nakasulat ang dalawang address ng mga lugar na hindi niya alam. Isa na roon ang lugar na tinawag nitong "Mansion de Castillejos". Doon umano nakatira ang matalik na kaibigang babae ng ama niya- si Yvonne. Ngunit nang marating na niya ang mansiyon, isang nakakagulat na rebelasyon ang sumampal sa kanya- dalawang taon na palang patay ang babaeng pakay niya. At ang tanging naiwan nito sa mansiyon ay ang katulong na si Gervacia at ang nag-iisa nitong anak na lalaki, si Strike Vicencio o "SV"- isang kilalang CEO hindi lang dahil sa kagwapuhang taglay nito kundi lalo na sa pagiging enigmatiko at misteryoso- na walang pagdadalawang-isip na inako ang pangangalaga sa kanya pansamantala habang hindi pa bumabalik ang ama niya. Ano ang nakatakdang mangyari sa pagsasama nila ng binata sa iisang bubong? At paano kung unti-unti ay makaramdam siya ng pagtatangi sa lalaki? Lalabanan ba niya ang sariling nararamdaman o ipaglalaban at gagawin niya ang lahat para maangkin ang supladong bilyonaryo, kahit na sampung taon ang agwat ng edad nila sa isa't-isa at nalalapit na rin itong ikasal sa iba?
