I was vulnerable when I met him. I was suffering. I was grieving. He made me forget the pain. He gave me PLEASURE to forget the PAIN. It seemed so wrong but felt so right. Warning: This story contains mature scenes that may not be appropriate to all readers.

Why give up the man you love when you know he was yours in the first place? It's never been easy for Cynthia. Life has been one tough choice for her especially now, the man she secretly loves .. is already married to her bestfriend.

Isang gabi lang. Pero sapat na para magbago ang lahat. Nina thought she had it all-career, comfort, and a relationship na matagal na niyang pinanghawakan. Everything seemed perfect... until dumating siya. The man with those piercing eyes, a smile that disarmed her logic, and a presence that shook her carefully built world. Cliché? Maybe. Pero hindi na ito rom-com sa sinehan-ito, buhay na niya. Kahit pa may ibang taong laman ng kanyang mga litrato at alaala, bakit nga ba si Iñigo ang laman ng puso niya gabi-gabi? Bakit siya ang naiisip niya kapag mag-isa na lang siya sa kwarto, habang tahimik ang mundo? Bakit siya ang gusto niyang makita pagkagising? His eyes-those intense, magnetic eyes-glimmered like cut diamonds, stealing every rational thought she had. His strong, perfectly built frame, parang knight in modern armor, always ready to catch her-figuratively and literally. He was a gentleman in every sense of the word. Calm. Confident. At may tinig na parang kayang tunawin ang lahat ng ingay sa paligid. Pero kapag hinahalikan niya si Nina, wala nang tahimik. Fireworks. The way his lips skimmed across her jaw, the electric pull when he crushed his lips against hers-it was more than just a kiss. It was chaos and comfort all at once. At dun niya narealize... She wasn't just drawn to him. She was falling. Hard. At habang pinipilit niyang itanggi, her body already betrayed her. Her heart? Matagal nang sumuko. Uh-oh. Nina could smell it. This isn't just attraction. This... is trouble. But the kind that makes you want to risk it all

friendship + love= heartbreak??? Paano kung isang araw mahalin mo na lang bigla ang kaibigan mo?? Ano ang itataya mo?? ang friendship nyo o ang pagmamahal mo?? at gaano ka sigurado na worth it ang pipiliin mo??
