Not all love arrives at the right time. Sometimes, it begins out of necessity. From a decision that must be made to survive and from two hearts that were never meant to meet. In this story we meet Alice a simple young woman from the countryside who learned early in life how to fight for survival Their parents have long been gone leaving her and her siblings to depend only on each other as they face each day. She lives with Sheila, her strong and selfless older sister who always puts family first, and Wesley, their youngest sibling, who is full of dreams Their life used to be quiet It was difficult but they had enough to get by Then one day, Sheila came across a job posting on her phone. A wealthy woman in the city was looking for a nanny for her child. Desperate for money, they immediately decided to give it a try And the very next day Alice traveled to a world she had never known There, she met Risa a successful, beautiful, and respected single mother From the moment they met, Alice could already feel the vast difference between their lives. Risa was the kind of woman who was used to getting her way while Alice was a simple provincial girl with nothing but dreams for her family At first, Alice was only after the job. She thought she would simply take care of Risa's child earn money and help support her siblings But as time passed everything slowly began to change With every simple conversation With every lingering glance With every sleepless night they spent together caring for the child A quiet feeling began to grow And things became even more complicated when Alice realized that she wasn't the only one slowly falling in love But what if what they feel is wrong? What if the differences in their social status their responsibilities, and the judgment of others make them believe that they can never be together? In a home filled with hidden emotions and the fear of loving again how far will these two women go to fight for a love they never expected to find?

A mayor who fell in love in her secretary. Alice Leal Guo. And Therissianie Gomez.

A marriage bound by politics, sealed with silence. Alice Guo and Senator-to-be Risa Hontiveros are forced into a three-year contract that promises power, not love. But in a world where loyalty is currency and affection is strategy, even the most calculated hearts can falter.

1ST STORY PO! PASUPPORT PO! THANKIES! MWAPSS!!

how do you live with a love that won't let go-and a past that refuses to stay buried?

(FICTION!) One impulsive night, Alice sends a desperate text to a random number while drunk and alone. She just needed help-someone, anyone. What she didn't expect was for that someone to be her teacher. What starts as an awkward, accidental encounter quickly spirals into something far more complicated. Their worlds were never meant to collide like this-but fate (and one misguided message) had other plans. Now caught between unspoken rules, hidden feelings, and the weight of their roles, they must decide: was this just a mistake... or the beginning of something they never saw coming?

Dr. Ana Theresia Hontiveros - She's not just any psychiatrist. She's the most powerful and sought-after mental health specialist in the Philippines. Named one of the Top 10 Richest Women in the World, and now a rising senator feared for her brilliance and unmatched influence. Ice-cold. Composed. Off-limits. Until she met her. Alice Leal Guo - She's the heiress of a farming empire. A wealthy, sharp-tongued college student drowning in depression, secrets, and silence. She never believed in therapy - until she was forced into it. She was supposed to sit down, open up, and heal. Not fall dangerously in love with her doctor. But love doesn't care about ethics. Or titles. Or headlines. One is bound by rules. The other was born to break them. A year later, one becomes a senator. The other? A mayor. And in the middle of power, politics, and passion - They're trying to hide the one thing they weren't supposed to feel. Love.
