A broken man who stopped believing in life meets a girl who doesn't save him but helps to save himself

I'm so thrilled and genuinely grateful to announce to y'all, that it's an honour for me to bring a filipino original work available to readers all across the world. Filipino is not a widely known language in most parts. Though, it's an incredible language. However, it becomes hard for everybody to comprehend the meaning behind it. Since the very beginning, I have seen countless messages and their desperation to have this in the English version. For the longest time, I never truly entertained the idea. Because, my life is busy. And there's so much after Wattpad. Investing my valuable hours seemed stupid initially. But after, sufficient overthinking, absolute courage, and unwavering patience. I decided to give this pretty story originally authored by lara flores a new life. Widening the bridges of languages. So with a full heart, and through this platform, Wattpad. I'll post the chapters, Not because the original needs changing, but because I believe stories deserve the opportunity to reach everyone who wants to read them. Thank you for your support, your encouragement, and your interest in this translation. I hope that when the time comes, this version will allow even more readers to fall in love with the story that has already touched so many hearts. I'd appreciate if you constantly vote for the chapters, and be a part of my family, by following my profile.

Jay Mariano has always been a problem. At least that's what everyone says. The illegitimate daughter of one of the most powerful families in the world, Jay grew up being treated as a mistake, a burden, and a disappointment. From an abusive childhood to a family that only sees her as an heir, she's spent her entire life fighting for a place where she belongs. Then comes Keifer Watson. Arrogant. Annoying. Insufferable. And unfortunately, the only person who can keep up with her. When a fake relationship forces the university's top rivals together, Jay and Keifer find themselves trapped between family expectations, buried trauma, and feelings neither of them wants to admit. But fake dating was never supposed to hurt. Especially not when Jay falls first. Especially not when Keifer breaks her heart. Now surrounded by people who want to control her future, a family determined to decide her fate, and a past she can't escape, Jay must learn one thing: How do you find happiness when you've spent your entire life believing you don't deserve it?

CRIMINAL OBSESSION 🔥 ❤️‍🔥 Description "He built an empire with blood. She dreams of tearing empires like his apart." The Watson name rules the Philippines. Politicians fear them. Billionaires answer to them. Criminals pray they stay allies instead of enemies. To the world, they are untouchable. To each other? They're a family that argues over breakfast, steals food from one another's plates, and turns every dinner into absolute chaos. At the center of it all is Mark Keifer Watson-23 years old, billionaire CEO by day, mafia prince by birth. Calm under pressure. Ruthless in business. Merciless to anyone who threatens his family. He never believed in love. Until he met Jasper Jean Mariano. A brilliant law student who works nights as a waitress just to keep herself and her ten-year-old brother alive after her parents were murdered over their family's fortune. Jay Jay has one goal: Become a lawyer. Bring criminals to justice. Protect people who can't protect themselves. Everything Keifer stands for... She stands against. She has no idea that the handsome customer who keeps appearing in her café is the youngest son of the most feared mafia family in the country. Keifer knows exactly who she is. The future lawyer. The woman who could one day expose every secret his family has buried. The woman who could send him to prison. He should stay away. Instead... He keeps finding reasons to see her. Every coffee. Every argument. Every accidental meeting. Every stolen glance. Until avoiding her becomes impossible. But love has a price. As Jay Jay gets closer to uncovering the truth behind her parents' murders, she discovers a conspiracy reaching into the country's most powerful families-including the Watsons. Now she faces an impossible choice. Follow the law... Or protect the man she never wanted to love. Because loving Watson doesn't come with flowers. It comes with enemies. Secrets. Blood. And a mark that never fades.

For three years, Jasper's marriage to CEO Keifer Watson was entirely one-sided-filled with cold dinners, empty promises, and a heartless indifference that finally forced her to walk away and cut all ties. But without Jay anchoring his routine, Keifer utterly spirals, crushed by his father's cruelty and the shadow of his brother, Keid. Brought back only by a desperate plea from his mother, Jay returns to save Keifer from his own self-destruction, guarding her bruised heart by reminding him she is only there out of duty, not love. Just as an unspoken connection begins to spark, Keifer's father banishes him to London. Keifer leaves, entirely unaware that his rival, Mike, is targeting Jasper's life. In a sobbing, heartbreaking airport farewell, Jasper hides the danger she's in and leaves him with a final plea: Be careful. Never look for me. And know that my one-sided love for you will never truly end. Author, Aaru. [HUMBLE REQUEST: PLEASE DON'T COPY MY STORY]
