Maisie learned early that marriage was a question asked long before it ever arrived. "𝘒𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘯 𝘬𝘢 𝘱𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘨-𝘢𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘸𝘢?" "𝘔𝘢𝘨-𝘢𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘸𝘢 𝘬𝘢 𝘱𝘢 𝘣𝘢? 𝘔𝘢𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘱 𝘵𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘨-𝘪𝘴𝘢." Those questions lingered and followed her like bees drawn to flowers-or perhaps like gossip that refused to fade. Her mother's growing impatience didn't help either, especially when she began arranging a marriage Maisie never anticipated-or rather, one they never anticipated. But in a union born not of choice but of circumstance, will Maisie find the courage to love, to trust, and to begin again-discovering that marriage is not the ending, but the beginning?

Miguel and Gianne spent their college years in the same close-knit circle of friends, hiding something no one ever knew about-even when it ended. If they see each other again, could they still act like nothing ever happened?

All Tari wants is to enjoy her life to the fullest. Living alone is never a problem until her mom, her family, pressures her to have her own family and settle down. But what if she only wants to have kids but not be someone else's wife? What if life throws her more than she anticipated?

They've known each other for twenty years. From high school hallways in Manila to quiet ryokan weekends in Tokyo, from midnight emails to lost letters never sent, Donato Antonio Laxa Pangilinan and Belinda Angelito Mariano were always almost something. First loves who never quite got the timing right. Now in their mid-thirties, Donato is a celebrated architect in Singapore. Belinda is a lawyer in Manila - disciplined, distant, and carrying the weight of every unspoken word. When a housing project forces them to work together again, the past resurfaces in quiet moments, shared glances, and all the things they thought they buried. Can two people who once promised forever - without ever saying it - rebuild something real from the ruins?

Maki has one goal: to complete all the things she listed in her bucket list, especially to fall in love again after she knew that she has a heart condition - she doesn't want to waste time. Then she met Dino - someone who has a similar goal as her. He thought he will never meet someone who will accept him and won't just be with him because they pity him. He longed for a genuine connection even without any assurance of how long the connection will take. He dreams of having a family of his own even before it's too late. Will they both be able to find healing from one another and grant each other's wishes with the time as their biggest enemy?
