Wake

Behind the walls of St. Valen’s Academy, privilege and legacy are masks — worn to hide the rot underneath. For Althea Sombra, the masks are literal. Her family’s empire is built on secrets whispered in the dark, on powers that can never be spoken of in daylight. She was raised to obey, to charm, to control. But when the storm inside her begins to wake, even obedience can’t contain it. Noah Laurent was bred for composure — heir to a dynasty that trades in precision and power. Yet one glance from Althea cracks the ice he was born to wear. He knows she’s dangerous. He also knows he can’t stay away. Luca Ashford has always been the wildfire Noah could control. Until Althea arrives. Until jealousy and desire blur into something neither of them can name — and their friendship begins to splinter beneath the weight of her silence. When a ghost from Althea’s training resurfaces — a man who once called her his greatest weapon — the careful balance at St. Valen’s shatters. Fear tightens its grip. Loyalties fracture. And the girl with the storm in her blood must decide: to remain a shadow … or burn the world that built her.

My name is Ivy Lawson. At 3:00 am, I get a call from Christina McSpire, a parent of one of my students. "Hello, Ms. Lawson, I noticed Zoe only spent five dollars on her meal yesterday. Did she not eat any meat?" she asks. Pushing through my exhaustion, I reply, "Don't worry, Mrs. Street. I'll check on it tomorrow." Another half hour goes by, and she calls again. "It's supposed to rain tomorrow. Can you remind Zoe to bring an umbrella?" I can hardly keep my eyes open. "Got it," I reply absentmindedly. A few minutes later, my phone rings once more. "Please make sure Zoe brushes her teeth for three minutes. It's also important that she scrubs each side of her face at least three times." Suppressing my frustration, I calmly respond, "Zoe is in her senior year of high school. I'm sure she's capable of taking care of herself." I expect that to be the end of it, but when I wake up, my silenced phone shows over a hundred missed calls.

Isang maling hakbang. Isang maling gabi. Isang maling desisyon… o baka tamang tao sa maling pagkakataon? Elara has always played it safe—until she crashes into a stranger in the most awkward way possible. Akala niya, worst moment na ‘yon ng buhay niya—hindi pa pala. Because that stranger? Theo. The new hire sa office nila. Mas malala? Anak siya ng boss. Mula sa asaran hanggang sa hindi matapos-tapos na bangayan, they can’t seem to stay away from each other. But one unexpected night changes everything. Kinabukasan, they wake up—walang maalala at walang idea kung ano’ng nangyari. Months later, Elara finds out she’s pregnant. The problem? She doesn’t know who the father is. At nang malaman ng isang importanteng tao ang sitwasyon niya, isang desisyon ang kailangang gawin—one that will tie her and Theo together in a way they never saw coming. Now, they’re stuck in something they don’t understand. But what if the truth has been right in front of them all along? Or will they stay… Cluelessly Yours?

“Whenever I wake up, I feel that I had a vast and complicated dream"… But no! It was never a dream to begin with. Elin died in her first life with many regrets and then began her second life in a different world where people had magical abilities. Unfortunately she died again while fighting as a soldier for her country. Her third life began and she woke up when she was still 18 years old in her first life. Now, she must get rid of all her regrets and make sure that she protects her father and herself until the end. The Elin, who was once very odious in her first life started to live her first life again. “You should do what I want!” said a manly voice, his seductive eyes making her feel drunk but no!!! She mustn’t fell in love when love has always been her enemy in her every life. “Move back! I have no interest in you"… “But what should I do, I can’t let you go anymore. You let me have your kindness, so, let me have you, too".

What will you do if one day, you suddenly wake up with ears above your head and tails behind your back? What if you suddenly came back to how you were, 20 years ago, just with different eyes and hair color? Coming home from a late-night party, Tiffany George passed out as soon as she felt the softness and warmth of her comfy bed. She stinks of alcohol, explaining her carefree behavior, resulting into a deep sleep with her corporate attire on. On the next day, a phone call had woken her up. She massaged her aching temples and reached for her phone on the bedside table. She answered it without even bothering to look at the caller ID, her voice hoarse as she said hello. “Ms. George, what time do you think is it?” a cold voice floated over the phone, waking Tiffany out of her daze. She immediately hung-up the call and rose from the bed. But the moment she tried to reach the floor with her feet… she realized something amiss. She touched her face and felt her chest… A long silence ensued before her loud scream filled the entire room.

Samantha Sky Smith never imagined that one day, she’d wake up as Mrs. Krim Kuen Vryzks—ang lalaking kinatatakutan at ginagalang sa mundo ng negosyo at impluwensya. Walang puso, walang awa, at walang pakialam kung ano ang gusto niya. Ang kasal nila ay isang kasunduan, pero para kay Krim, ito ay isang panalo. Para kay Samantha? Isang bitag na hindi niya alam kung paano tatakasan. Binigyan siya ni Krim ng isang linggong palugit bago niya ito angkinin nang tuluyan. Isang linggo para tanggapin ang bagong realidad na hindi niya ginusto. Pero habang lumilipas ang mga araw, mas lalong nagiging malinaw sa kanya ang isang bagay—hindi lang galit ang nararamdaman niya kay Krim. At iyon ang mas kinatatakutan niya. Sa pagitan ng panggigipit, matitinding emosyon, at isang kontratang bumihag sa kanya, magagawa kaya ni Samantha na manatiling matatag? O tuluyan na siyang mahuhulog sa patibong ng lalaking dapat ay kinamumuhian niya?

" The young miss is pregnant" that unwelcome news changed my life and put it on a downward spiral shattering my life. It got worse when I found out their father's identity, Aries walker the ruthless and terrible billionaire. I thought it will be over once I moved to another state away from the insults and betrayals. I was set up by my cousin and best friend leading to this nightmare. However when I saw my sons' beautiful faces, I decided that all I suffered was worth it. But the quiet family life I envisaged didn't come, especially after I found out my sons were not human. My life turned into a roller coaster but I managed the best I could. Just as I thought I have gotten used to it, their father, that demon of a man showed up at my doorstep demanding his kids. The very same children I have sacrificed everything to keep. I fought to wake up from this nightmare. No matter how I ran or how many times I escaped with the kids I couldn't outrun him or hide away because he always finds us.

I'm betrothed to Hylton Miller from the moment I'm born. For as long as I can remember, he protects and loves me like I'm already his wife. Even if I get a tiny splinter on my hand, he holds it carefully as he gently clips it away. That is, until the young woman his family sponsors offends a client and is about to be sent to Zubania. He drugs me with a glass of wine. When I wake up, I'm in a foreign country and trapped in an illegal factory. Here, I endure inhuman abuse, torment, even humiliation... At my lowest, when despair almost swallows me whole, that sponsored young woman appears before me in a pristine, custom-made white gown. She smiles sweetly and presses the play button on a voice recording. And from the speaker comes the voice I long for every day and night. "It's fine. Alina's the young lady of the Winslet family—they won't do anything to her. But Priscilla? She's different. Worst case, I'll make it up to Alina when she gets back…" In that moment, it feels like someone tears my heart open with their bare hands.

"Lisa?" I croaked, barely able to form words, my voice hoarse and weak. My heart had leapt at the sight of her, a moment of hope flickering through the haze of fear. "What's going on? Why... why are you here?" But the look in her eyes, the cold amusement that twisted her lips into a smirk, had stopped me short. It wasn’t concern. “Why am I here?” she had repeated, laughing softly, as if the very question was absurd. “Oh, Anna, sweet, naive Anna. You still don’t get it, do you?” I had stared, my mind unable to keep up, still too clouded with hunger and exhaustion. “What... what are you talking about?” And then, her voice had changed, hardened. “I’m the reason for all of this. The reason your father’s company collapsed, the reason your family is dead, the reason Josh betrayed you. Me.” After discovering that her best friend, Lisa, isn't the person she thought she was and is the reason for most of the disasters in her life, Anna dies, only to wake up five years in the past. With a second chance, Anna is determined to protect her loved ones and take revenge for the pain Lisa caused.

She never meant to steal her sister’s life. She never meant to steal her sister’s groom. On the night before the wedding, tragedy struck. Her glamorous twin sister was left in a coma, and with her last whispered plea, she begged: “Don’t let him know. Be me… until I wake up.” Now, she stands at the altar wearing her sister’s gown, holding the hand of Adrian Cruz — the powerful young CEO every woman dreams of marrying. But Adrian doesn’t know the truth. He doesn’t know his bride has a twin. He doesn’t know the woman in his arms is someone else entirely. And yet… the more he touches her, the more obsessed he becomes. Because this “new wife” isn’t the cold, ambitious woman he courted. She’s different. Softer. Addictive. Irresistible. She swore she would protect her sister’s secret. But every night she spends in his arms pushes her deeper into forbidden desire. And when her sister wakes up… She’ll have to choose: Give him up. Or let the lie destroy them all.
