[The Wattys 2025 Shortlist] ********** She spent twenty-four years preserving herself for one man-only for him to choose her best friend instead. Tomorrow, they would vow eternity to each other, while she remained nothing but a spectator to a love she had longed for. Desperate, she devised a plan, one final chance to make him hers. A single drop of aphrodisiac, a carefully orchestrated encounter-she would take what was meant to be hers. But fate had other plans. In the darkness of her deceit, she fell into the arms of the wrong man. A ruthless, merciless, and identical in every way except for the shadows that clung to him like a second skin. Her trickery had backfired, and now, she was at the mercy of a man whose hunger knew no bounds. He devoured her, claimed her, and became intoxicated by her taste, scent, and the desperate, helpless moans she never intended for him. She had set a trap, but it was she who had been ensnared. In her desperation, she had tasted her own poison. And he had found a new obsession. *********************************** Started: March 22, 2025 Ended: April 21, 2025 Revised: August 2, 2025

She was His. That is what she thought. May hangganan rin pala ang lahat, and that includes his love for her. She was his reminder of her best memories while she became the reminder of his ugly past.

He was born a weapon, sharpened by blood, trained to kill without hesitation. By day, he hides in the quiet halls of a university; by night, he is the mafia's youngest assassin, feared as a shadow that never misses its mark. She was raised in an orphanage, a girl of fragile health and gentle soul. Innocent, modest, and unshakable in her belief that even the darkest heart carries a spark of goodness. Their worlds should never have touched. Yet when fate binds the devil to his lamb, tenderness collides with violence, and devotion becomes a dangerous sin. But in the underworld, innocence is never left untainted. Enemies are quick to notice where his gaze lingers, and in her weakness, they see his only vulnerability. To love her is to defy his bloodline. To protect her is to betray everything he was trained to be. When the choice comes; to take her life, or give up his own? An assassin will finally learn what it means to have a heart. *********************************** Started: September 02, 2025 Ended: November 28, 2025
