Gabriel is the love of my life. He is the kind of man any other women would dream of having. He is my knight in shining armor. He is my Prince Charming. At least, I thought he was. Dahil nagbago ang pananaw ko the moment I saw his big brother, Jack. Na sa umpisa pa lang ay galit at ayaw na sa akin. Pero hindi ko maipaliwanag kung bakit naghuhurumintado ang buong sistema ko sa tuwing lumalapit siya sa akin, sa tuwing dumadampi ang balat niya sa akin. At kahit boses niya ay nagbibigay sa akin ng kiliti at kilabot. And when he kissed me, realization flooded me in complete astonishment. And that's the only time in my life that I wish I was single. But I can't afford to break Gab's heart......

"Forgetting a debt doesn't mean it's paid." But I didn't forget him. I knew I owed him a huge amount of money. He paid me even though he wasn't able to own me. Yes, I offered my virgin body to a stranger because I was that desperate. I was sixteen then and helpless. But that night, I knew from the depths of my heart, I won't be able to forget him. Six years later, I found myself in his territory. His eyes twinkled with recognition. That sexy grin I've always remembered about him. The way he ran his tongue along his lower lip as he roamed his gaze around my body, I know, it's payback time.....

Lawrence dela Vega, the man who I fell in love with. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could love someone as much as I loved him. I thought what we had was something unbreakable. But I thought wrong. Three years ago he made me feel that being in love with him was like lying in a bed of roses. But I wasn't aware that the bed itself was full of thorns. Full of deceit. Full of pretence. That the man himself was a great pretender. My plan was to revenge against this heartbreaker Hotelier for making my life miserable. But how? When after all these years, my heart still belongs to him...aches for him...owned by him....

Tomboy ako. Yun ang sabi nila. Dahil sa kilos lalake ako, at sa klase ng pananamit ko. Well, their opinions don't matter, really. Komportable ako sa ganitong ayos, may magagawa ba sila? And besides, mas gusto ko na ang ganito para naman walang magkamaling lalake na ligawan ako. Pero hindi ko maipaliwanag ang nadarama ko sa tuwing lumalapit sa akin si Ian, biglang kumakabog na lamang ang aking dibdib. At sa tuwing ngumingiti na siya, napapalunok ako. Natutulala ako. And one night, naibigay ko ang sarili ko sa kanya sa gitna ng kanyang kalasingan....pero ang hindi ko alam, pati puso ko ay naibigay ko na rin pala. Pero paano ko siya mapapaibig kung ang tingin lang niya sa akin ay nakakabatang kapatid?

Pinagmasdan ko ang dalawang taong gulang na sanggol na payapang natutulog sa aking bisig. Hanggang ngayon ay nanggagalaiti pa rin ako sa galit sa ama ng bata. Hindi ko siya mapapatawad! Pababagsakin ko ang taong sumira sa buhay namin! Kaya isang gabi sa kanyang Restobar ay isinangkatuparan ko ang aking plano. Nag-eskandalo ako at pinahiya siya sa lahat ng taong naroon! Ngunit nagising na lang ako isang araw na ako na pala ang bumagsak sa kanyang mga kamay! His charms are toxic! At ayaw ko mang mangyari ay nahulog na ang aking loob sa kanya at ang poot ay napalitan ng pag-ibig sa aking puso. Pero paano ito, gayung nilinaw niyang ang bata lamang ang kanyang nais at hindi ako!
