Under the pen name VikaZole, her dark romances serve as haunting warnings against the toxic pull of dangerous men. At forty, she believes she's seen every red flag-until she becomes the fixation of the one man she can't outrun. He is a man whose surname is a powerhouse across the country-a cold, workaholic billionaire behind a retail empire who values bitter coffee and absolute control. When he discovers the raw, aching prose of VikaZole, his curiosity turns into a predatory obsession. He is used to acquiring whatever he desires, and now, he has set his sights on the woman behind the words. In a game of ink and influence, can the teacher of caution survive her own dark romance?

Maria, feeling hurt and betrayed, began to distance herself, unable to bear watching Haven be led astray.

"Davina, don't you want to be with me?!" Tanong sa akin ni Ace ng kaming dalawa na lang ang naiwan sa madilim na parte ng garden. "Gusto" mahina kong sagot sa tanong niya pero sigurado ako na narinig niya yun. Masungit si Ace pero hindi siya bingi. "Then why are you making things complicated!" Ako?! Dahil sa sinabi ni Ace ay mabilis ko siyang hinarap kaya nakita ko ang paglaki ng mga mata niya. Magsasalita pa sana siya pero hinatak ko ang kwelyo ng damit niya dahilan para mapayuko siya. "I already gave you a chance, Ace. Hinabol pa nga kita diba. Mas gwapo ka pa kaysa kay Jin para sa akin pero anong ginawa mo?" Nakatitig ng diretso sa mga mata ko ang lalaking nag pakilig sa akin. Siya ang lalaking dahilan sa bawat pag ngiti ko pero siya din ang dahilan sa bawat luha na lumabas sa mata ko. He's a double-edged sword. It's either he'll protect me or he'll hurt me. "Davina I..." "Ayoko na sayo" Dahil sa sinabi ko ay natulala si Ace. Nakita ko na bumuka ang mga labi niya para mag salita pero hindi ko siya hinayaan. He doesn't deserve to talk. "You wasted the chance I gave you. Minsan ka na nga lang makakahanap ng katulad ko... sinayang mo pa" ***** Paano mo nga ba malalaman kapagka in-love ka na? Hindi naman yan itinuturo sa paaralan at maging si Google ay walang malinaw na paliwanag para dito. Kusa na lang ba itong dadating sayo o kailangan mo pang magpakahirap para lang malaman ang totoo. Sila si Davina at Ace. Mag-kaibigan na tunay ang magka-ibigan ng tunay? Hindi mawari kung paano nagsimula ang love story nila pero sigurado ako na hindi ito pang basta basta. Dahil sa kanilang dalawa ay mas lalo pang nababaliw ang mga kaibigan nila dahil sino nga ba naman ang mag aakala...
