Awaken me. Illuminate me. Show me what I want to see.

Yuka wants nothing in the world more than a good old rags-to-riches kind of story. She's dealt with the rags part of it and trying to get to the riches part has earned her a reputation of being easy. She jumps from one man's arm to another, hoping to find the one who will allow her to move up the social ladder. After a wild one night stand, she discovers that she is pregnant and the father could be one of two men; a rich and famous football player or a wealthy and respected scientist.

It was wrong to be near her. No. He shouldn't be near her. Nilalabanan ni Brandon ang kanyang sarili dahil useless ang attraction na nararamdaman niya. For him, it was all just a game. For him it's pretend-love every night and the show is over every morning. Kaya illegal ang makaramdam ng constant attraction para sa isang babaeng hindi niya naman gaanong kilala. But when Aurora Veronica wore that freaking corporate uniform, the walls he tried to build so hard came crashing down. Come on, Brandon, who are you kidding? The girl looked innocent but she's damn hot with those killer heels. It probably won't hurt that much. After all, it's just a game. It's just a game. Yes, it's just a game. Just one night. One night. It only takes one night to believe all the lies.

NOTE: SPG/R-18 | Now available in PPC and National Bookstore | 120 Php | Published under Red Room | Dahil sa kalasingan, pumayag si Cherry sa dare ng mga kaibigan na halikan ang pinaka-guwapong lalaki na makikita niya sa bar. She was looking for an Adonis looking male when her eyes settled on a gorgeous hunk that's sexily drinking his glass of rum. Itinapon niya ang inhebisyon sa katawan at nilapitan ang lalaki at walang se-seremonyang hinalikan niya ito sa mga labi na nauwi sa mainit na pagtatalik sa likod ng sasakyan nito. It was a good night for Cherry, a good memory... Until she meet her new Boss.

NOTE: SPG/R-R18 Dahil sa isang kasinungalingan, nagawang akitin ni Lockett si Creed Santillana, isang sikat na Phiotographer. At dahil din sa kasinungalingan iyon, naangkin siya ng binata. Akala ni Lockett ay walang halaga ang nangyari sa kanila ni Creed dahil kinaumagahan pagkatapos siya nitong angkinin, nag-offer ito ng 'friendship'. Tinawanan niya ang friendship na ini-o-offer nito. It's absurd! Para sa kanya, isa iyong kalokohan at alam niya sa sarili niya na hindi isang kaibigan ang pagtingin niya sa binata. From friendship, he offered her to be his lover. Sino siya para tanggihan ang offer na iyon, lalo na kung nasa kalagitnaan sila ng mainit na pagtatalik habang minumungkahi nitong maging lover siya nito. Hindi akalain ni Lockett na mas lalalim pa relasyon nila ni Creed. Kahit walang label ang relasyon nila, masaya siya. Nararamdaman niyang may puwang siya sa puso nito at ganoon din naman ito sa puso niya. And then one day, her illness decided to be the antagonist of their love story. She has to leave for his sake. Ang hindi niya inakala na sa pag-alis niya ay kasabay niyon ang pagkawala ng memorya niya. At sa pagbabalik ni Lockett, mapapatunayan kaya ni Creed na totoo ang kasabihang 'the heart sees what the eyes can't'?
