Kristine Series 23 - Wild Enchantment Adriana's new stepmother considered her an excess baggage. Through cunning manipulation, ipinaubaya siya nito sa pinsan nito-filthy rich Jordan Atienza. He was tall, dark, and definitely-No, hindi niya ia-apply rito ang salitang "handsome." "Handsome" was for movie stars and too tame to be applied to Jordan. And Jordan was anything but tame. He was a beast! Hitler personified. At kinasusuklaman ito ni Adriana sa akusasyong sisirain niya ang pagsasama ng daddy niya at ng bagong asawa nito. Now Adriana considered herself Cinderella with a wicked stepmother, one wicked stepsister (sa katauhan ng pinsan niya). At ang bahay ni Jordan bilang prison tower niya. (Oh, that's Rapunzel's!). Anyway, would Jordan qualify as her Prince Charming? Hmp. Duda siya roon. Beast, baka pa. (Oh, dear, she was really mixing up her fairy tales!)

Alaina loved and adored Nick mula pa nang unang makita ang lalaki. Pero nanatiling isang panaginip lamang iyon. Isang trahedya ang dumating sa buhay ng mga Gascon and Nick didn't only take refuge in Sto. Cristo, he took her innocence as well. Ang masakit, hindi iyon alam ni Nick. Ang higit pang masakit, ibang pangalan ang tinatawag nito while he made love to her. At ang pinakamasakit, sa mismong araw at oras na iyon ay binayaran siya ni Franco Navarro para huwag nang makipagkita pa kay Nick.
