Novel & Cerita Words Don't Come Easy

Labinlimang taong gulang si Elara Montesilva nang pumanaw ang kanyang ama. At kasabay noon, ang tahimik na pagbagsak ng mundo niyang akala niya ay ligtas. The Montesilva Company didn’t mourn. It waited. Too young to lead, too unprepared to fight, Elara was pushed to the sidelines while powerful people quietly positioned themselves around what she was meant to inherit. Sa gitna ng kaguluhan, isang lalaki ang nanatiling nandyan. Timothy Grey. The man her father trusted. The man who stepped in when everything started falling apart. Sa mata ng lahat, he was family. Untouchable. Off-limits. Years passed. Elara grew up, graduated, and slowly stepped into the world she was once shielded from. But some truths don’t stay buried. Some lines blur when time, proximity, and silence stretch too long. When the past resurfaces and old protections begin to crack, Elara is forced to face a reality she was never prepared for. One where power has a price, loyalty has conditions, and the heart refuses to follow rules. Because in a world built on appearances, the most dangerous thing she could do… is choose who she loves.

Five years ago, she was the most awaited bride in the country, preparing for a wedding worth 500 million pesos—an event that would’ve made her one of the most talked-about people in high society. But before she could even walk down the altar, her whole world crashed down. She received only one text message from Damien Harrington: “Don’t wait for me.” Walang paliwanag. Walang paalam. Naiwan siyang may matinding kahihiyan sa harap ng lahat, at nasira ang puso at pangarap na binuo niya. Ngayon, si Megan na ang pinakabata at pinakamakapangyarihang female CEO sa buong bansa. Ginawa niyang sandata ang tagumpay—cool, brilliant, at sinasabing walang puso pagdating sa negosyo. Ang tagumpay ang naging kalasag niya, para makalimutan ang lalaking minsan nang winasak ang lahat ng meron siya. Pero may ibang plano ang tadhana. Isang mataas na pusta na merger deal ang magbabalik sa kanya sa nakaraan. Harap-harapin niya ulit ang taong ayaw na niyang makita: Damien Harrington. Ngayon siya na ang pinuno ng Harrington Holdings—mas mayaman, mas mapanganib, at mas matindi pa sa dati. Sa sandaling pumasok siya sa boardroom at nagtama ang kanilang mga mata, biglang bumalik ang lahat ng sakit, galit, at mga alaala na akala niya ay nakalimutan na niya. “You don’t get to walk back into my life like nothing happened,” mariin na sabi ni Megan. “I’m not asking to walk back,” sagot ni Damien, na may matinding paninindigan sa kanyang boses. “I’m here to take what’s mine.” Pero sa likod ng mga labanan sa negosyo, may katotohanang hindi nila maitatago. Limang taon siyang hinanap ni Damien saanman siya magpunta. Limang taon din na hindi siya nagmahal ng iba.

I...” “Ssshhh, Ms. Salazar don't worry I don't mix personal matters in my business!” sir Sandrex. 'Lord! Please gawin mo na kong invisible ngayon!' Binubulong ko to sa sarili ko habang nakatingin ako sa supladong lalaki na to! Aba, Malay ko bang siya pala ang magiging boss ko! Tadhana nga naman oo! Hinawakan nito ang magkabilang armrest ng upuan at inilapit ang muka sa akin! Na halos na aamoy ko na ang mabango nitong hininga at ang pabango nito na alam kong mamahalin! Ang lapit ng muka niya na halos ilang dangkal na lang ay lalapat na ang matangos niyang ilong sa ilong ko! Lord! Please ibuka mo na talaga ang lupa! Now na! “Afraid of what I'm going to do Ms. Salazar? Look straight into my eyes! And tell me what you said yesterday!” Sir Sandrex with his husky voice.
