The Don and his beloved wife, The Donna, a powerful couple whose eyes held the weight of a thousand silent orders, ruled their vast criminal empire with an iron fist. Eleven years ago, their youngest daughter, the jewel of their family, their gem, their life, their strength yet weakness...vanished without a trace... The kidnapping had cast a long shadow over the powerful dynasty, leaving a void that no amount of wealth or power could fill. Unbeknownst to them, their lost princess had been sold to a cold, calculating scientist, his laboratory a sterile prison where he conducted disturbing experiments on the abducted child and other children... Then, a breakthrough. A whisper, a shadow, a fleeting glimpse of their lost daughter. The reunion would not be without its shadows. Long-buried secrets, some dark and dangerous, threatened to shatter the fragile peace they had painstakingly rebuilt. The truth, when it surfaced, would be a double-edged sword, both a blessing and a curse, capable of destroying the very foundations of their family...

𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 #1 "Love isn't about never hurting. It's about choosing each other even after the world tries to tear you apart." There's this transferee guy---Archie Sev Martinez. He was quiet, always talking to just one guy, like he built walls around himself. And the first time I laid eyes on him... I knew. That day, my heart chose him without even asking for permission. I tried to get close to him, nagpapapansin during class, stealing glances, hoping for even the smallest smile. Pero most of the time, he just ignored me---like I was invisible. Then life hit me hard. My dad got sick, and after he lost his job, our family started struggling. Money was tight, and I had no choice but to find a job. One night, habang pauwi ako, I saw him---Archie---standing at a distance, just quietly watching me. He walked up to me and asked if he could walk me home; I said yes. And that simple yes... changed everything. That night, without even realizing it, he started becoming my favorite person---the man who made the world a little less cruel, a little more bearable. I, Allison Avila, can't believe I've fallen in love with someone who I'll risk everything just to be by his side. My safe place, my unexpected home. started: 04/29/25 ended:

Published book, series and now a Wattpad Original. Read the original story or watch new episodes weekly only on VivaOne. Hindi intensiyon ni Carmela Isabella ang umibig, lalo na sa taong 1892. Mula sa taong 2016 ay mapupunta siya sa nakaraan nang may isang misyon: huwag hayaang umibig sa kanya si Juanito Alfonso, ang anak ng kilalang gobernadorcillo at ang lalaking nakatakda niyang makaisang-dibdib. *** Palaging kinukuwestiyon ni Carmela Isabella ang mga kuwentong nakabaon sa nakaraan ng kanyang pamilya, ngunit hindi niya akalain na mula sa panahong 2016 ay mapupunta siya sa taong 1892 sa pamamagitan ng isang lumang talaarawan at ang Arch of the Centuries na kanyang nagsilbing portal. Inatasan siya ng isang misteryosong madre upang gawin ang napakahalagang misyon: kailangan niyang mamuhay bilang si Carmelita Montecarlos, ang bunsong anak ng pinakamayamang pamilya sa San Alfonso at siguruhing mapipigilan si Juanito Alfonso--ang nakatakdang mapangasawa ni Carmelita--na umibig sa kanya. Sa nalalapit nilang kasal at sa kasaysayang naghihintay na maisulat muli, ang pag-ibig na hindi naman sinadya upang maranasan ng dalawang inosenteng puso ay muli bang masisilayan pagkalipas ng isang siglo?
