He bit his lip for a while. "Just because we kissed doesn't mean that I like you." I chuckled. "I know." "I still hate you." "I heard you the first couple of times." He hesitated. "And if we kiss again, I still don't like you." ~ Henry Young is an antisocial highschool student. Due to the death of his older brother, Nate, his fear of abandonment made him distance himself from others. He stayed low, only talked when necessary and never joined many social circles. One day, a young man moves in with his family and despite Henry's anger, he can't seem to take his eyes off him. Because of Andre's outgoing nature, Henry is convinced that they're complete opposites and will never come to good terms with each other.

“เรียนยังไม่จบก็มีเมียได้ ไม่มีกฎหมายข้อไหนห้ามเอาไว้สักหน่อย มีแต่พิ้งค์นั่นแหละไม่ยอมใจอ่อนเป็นเมียผมสักที ไม่รู้จะให้รอไปถึงเมื่อไหร่ ทนไม่ไหวขึ้นมาจับปล้ำแล้วเช้ามาก็ให้แม่ไปขอเลยดีไหมนะจะได้จบ ๆ ไป”

When I opened my eyes again, I was pinned against the floor-to-ceiling window of the skyscraper by my stepbrother, Rocco. The man I had been infatuated with for a decade. He panted, his hot lips and tongue trailing along my collarbone as he murmured, "Don't go." In my past life, on the night I received my acceptance letter from London Business School, Rocco got blind drunk. Late that night, I gave in to his pleas for me to stay. I willingly gave myself to him. After a debauched night, his cherished fiancée, Clara, caught me walking out of his room the next morning, my clothes in disarray. She ran out in tears, her parting words ringing in the air, "I'll let you have each other." A month after she disappeared, the family search party found her engagement ring at the edge of a cliff. At the bottom of the cliff lay mangled remains, battered by the waves until they were unrecognizable. Rocco clutched that ring and didn't sleep all night. On the surface, he acted as if nothing had happened, even arranging a trip for me to Sicily, telling me to go and relax. The night I landed, I was kidnapped by assassins from a rival family. I screamed for him to pay the ransom, only to hear him give the order himself over the phone: "Don't make her death a quick one. The Costello princess? She's nothing but a damn liability. Torture her. Break every bone in her body. " "This is what she owes Clara." You like playing games, Rocco. But in this life, I refuse to play along.

My boyfriend has always doted on me. However, after learning that I can't go to work at the bank after falling and injuring myself, he snaps at me. "Why didn't you tell me you switched shifts with someone else? That was a cheap move!" I don't refute him. Instead, I pull out a hospitalization record as I watch the bank descend into chaos. In my past life, I attended to a couple who wanted to deposit five million dollars into their account. Their child had been diagnosed with a rare illness. They'd gotten the money by selling their organs and mortgaging the home—it was to save their child's life and pay for the surgery the following day. However, the money was stolen the following day. I helped them check where the money was withdrawn, but the surveillance footage showed I was the one who did it. My best friend wept when the couple questioned me. "You shouldn't have stolen the money someone needed to save a life, no matter how materialistic and covetous you are!" My boyfriend hurried over and said, "I wondered why you suddenly had money to buy a car—you stole it! You're heartless!" The child died after failing to receive treatment in time, and the couple stabbed me to death on the streets out of devastation. When I open my eyes again, I think injuring myself will help me escape this. To my surprise, the surveillance cameras once again capture me stealing the money.

ฉันกับเขาเราต่างกันราวฟ้ากับเหว อาจเป็นเพียงความเห็นใจ ที่ทำให้เขาเลือกที่จะไม่ปล่อยฉันไปไหน แต่แม้ว่าฉันเองจะรู้สึกกับเขามากมายยังไง.. แต่คุณหมอของฉัน เขามีคู่หมั้นอยู่แล้ว ความจริงคือ ระหว่างเราควรจะ เสร็จ จ่าย และจบ “คุณหมอควรซื้ออุ่นแค่ตัวนะคะ ถ้าซื้อใจด้วยมันจะลำบากกันใหญ่” “เธออยากได้อะไร? เงิน? บ้าน? รถ? ฉันให้เธอได้ทุกอย่าง แค่เป็นเด็กดีแล้วอยู่ข้างๆฉัน”

Isang babaeng walang takot magmahal ngunit hindi pa kailanman tunay na umibig. Isang lalaking isinara na ang puso dahil sa pagkawala ng kanyang asawa. At isang batang naghihintay sa pagmamahal ng isang ina. Si Vanessa De Jesus ay isang masayahin, palabiro, at walang preno kung magsalita. Sa paghahanap ng trabaho, hindi niya inaasahang mapapasok siya sa kakaibang mundo ng mayamang negosyanteng si Vincent Curt Lee—isang malamig, istrikto, at halos walang pusong lalaki pagdating sa negosyo. Ang trabahong inaalok sa kanya? Magpanggap bilang si Chelsea Jimenez Lee, ang nawawalang asawa ni Vince at ina ng batang si Vincent. Sa mata ng publiko, buhay pa si Chelsea. Ngunit sa katotohanan, nababalot ng misteryo ang kanyang pagkamatay. Upang mapasaya ang anak na may sakit at nangungulila sa ina, pumayag si Vanessa na gampanan ang papel na hindi niya akalaing babago sa buhay niya. Sa loob ng mansyon, nagsimula ang isang kontratang puno ng mahigpit na patakaran—lalo na ang isang rule na tila pinakamahirap sundin: “Don’t you dare to fall in love with me.” Ngunit paano kung sa bawat pagtatalo, sa bawat banggaan ng personalidad, at sa bawat sandaling magkasama sila, unti-unting nabubuksan ang pusong matagal nang nakapinid? Habang lumalalim ang kanilang pagsasama, mabubunyag ang mga lihim sa likod ng aksidente ni Chelsea. Aksidente nga ba ito? O may mas malalim na dahilan sa likod ng pagkawala? Sa pagitan ng pagpapanggap at katotohanan, sa pagitan ng obligasyon at tunay na damdamin— maaari bang mahalin ng isang puso ang someone like you?

Acquaintance Party and some students already at the center of the hall. Dahan-dahang tumingin si Leighton Wajeeh sa kanan niya kung nasaan ang isang babae. "Eun-ji... M-May I d-dance with you?" he stuttered. With a sweetest smile he's ever seen, the girl answered, "Sure, Waj!" Right after she accepted his hand, they then walked towards the center of the hall. "Alright, on my cue, wear your masquerade mask!" the host suddenly announced nung nakita niyang marami nang nasa gitna. Matapos nilang hinanda ang mask, the host then muttered, "Mask on! Music, maestro!" Romantic song then played as they wore their masks. Slowly, Leighton Wajeeh puts his hands on Nikolina Eun-ji's waist while she put hers on his shoulders. "E-Eun-ji, I..." sabi ni Leighton habang unti-unting tumingin sa labi ng babae. Leighton's heart pounded fast. He is wanting this moment to come. Eun-ji just stared at him. With that, he stared at her eyes... deeply. "I like y---" Ngunit, hindi niya natuloy ang kaniyang mga salita. Leighton's mouth gaped open and his eyes suddenly widened. Napaatras siya dahilan upang mapatigil sila sa pagsasayaw. This can't be... "Waj, what's wrong?" Eun-ji innocently asked. She tried to reach him ngunit umiwas si Leighton sa kaniya. His hands and lips trembled while still looking at the woman's face covered with mask, highlighting her eyes. Those eyes... Those eyes that brought him trauma for how many years... Similar to the eyes who killed his father!

10 years have passed and she got everything, so they said. A face that no one could ever deny its beauty, a body that makes men go crazy and a successful career in the legal profession. She has it all, except him- the man she so dearly loved but has to let go of for her to get all these things she has now. Cattaleya Rillera really thought then that it would be worth it. Afterall, she was only 17 at that time when an elderly couple chose her to be their adoptee. Hindi niya inakalang may magkakagustong ampunin pa siya dahil sa edad niya. When she reached the age of 16, hindi na siya nangarap pang may magkakainteres sa kaniyang maging parte ng kanilang pamilya dahil isang taon na lamang ay aalis na siya ng bahay-ampunan dahil magiging isang ganap na siyang maygulang. At ngayong may gusto siyang ampunin, hindi niya papalampasin. This is all she ever wanted. Lahat naman sila doon sa bahay-ampunan. Thus, she consented to such an adoption even if she would have to break her promise to the boy she loves- Caleb Sanchez- the boy she promised to marry when she left the orphanage. Isa ding orphan na naunang umalis ng orphanage dahil mas matanda ito sa kanya ng 2 years. Ang taong nangakong magsisikap para makapag-ipon at paghandaan ang kanilang pagsasama sa oras na umalis siya sa bahay-ampunan. Now that she has finally achieved the success of her chosen career, she thinks it's time to locate him. And if she succeeded, she could only pray that he was still single and that he would find it in his heart to forgive her.
