Lagi talagang may dalawang bagay na dapat pagpilian. Parang ang kulay pula o kahel lang. Some people like orange and don't like red that much. While some people love red but not the orange one. To simply say... people don't like to combine bright and dark colors-just like in colors. Hindi maganda kapag kulay pula na nga ang mansanas, lalagyan mo pa ng kahel. And it also applies in the situation of Patricia Sarina Mercado and Sebastian Gali Rivero. Sa kanilang mga totoong buhay, ang pula ay tumatayo sa pagmamahal at kahel naman sa tagumpay. So what if the color red overshadows the orange? Or what if to aim for the color orange, you have to let go of the red one? But if you are brave enough to risk everything... would you ask yourself the question: "Are orange and red a good match?" Because if yes, are you willing to take the catch?

Maria Christina Alegre was born trouble. Reckless. Careless. Stubborn. Those words she wore like an armor. Her life is built on hatred. On anger. On burning people before they burn her. But no one sees the girl underneath. The one who learned to set fire before the world could burn her. The one who yearns for love only to receive pain from the people she loved. What if all the violence, all the rage, all the hatred is just grief that never had love to hold it? Until... he came. For the first time, she let her walls down. Let herself believe. Let herself be vulnerable. But just like everyone else...he broke her. Will she keep choosing hate and destroy herself.. Or will she gamble one last time, even if it breaks her? Photo's not mine.

SUN AND MOON: Solar "Is it a story worth telling?" After their 5-year relationship ended 16 years ago, ex-lovers Solar and Adler found themselves sitting next to each other in a downtown coffee shop. Reunited by Selene's desperation to complete her requirements before graduating from high school, the ex-couple were invited to answer her interview questions for the release of the school's literary portfolio in February. Once deemed as the "ideal lovers," Solar and Adler had to respond to Selene's questions about their past relationship with honesty and professionalism. Past burning stares of love were long extinguished. Past passionate emotions were long buried. Past electric heartbeats lost their power. Past photographs of young sweethearts have turned to ashes. Or so they thought. Did the 16 years apart heal their scarred hearts? Will the winds of fate blow them back into each other's arms, or will time prove that their love was merely a lesson learned?

In a world where power is everything, love becomes the weakest currency. Lumaki si Alessandra Virelle Monteverde sa isang perpektong pamilya-mayaman, masaya, at buo. She had everything... until she didn't. Nang dumating si Selari, ang babaeng inampon ng kanilang pamilya, unti-unting nagbago ang lahat. Mula sa pagiging sentro ng pagmamahal, naging anino na lang si Alessandra sa sarili niyang tahanan. Ang pamilyang minsang kumakalinga sa kanya... ngayon ay tila bulag sa katotohanan. Behind Selari's innocent facade lies a quiet destruction-isang pagkasira na hindi nila namalayan hanggang sa unti-unting bumagsak ang kanilang mundo. Sa desperasyon na iligtas ang kanilang pangalan at negosyo, isang kasunduan ang ginawa. A marriage. Pero hindi ito basta kasal-isa itong kasunduan sa pagitan ng dalawang makapangyarihang pamilya... at isang lalaking hindi marunong magmahal. Cassius Elio Dela Vega. 28 years old. Cold. Ruthless. A name whispered in fear in the world of business-and something darker. Ang kasal na para sana kay Selari... napunta kay Alessandra. At mula sa araw na iyon, nagsimula ang impyerno niya. Because Cassius didn't want her. He hated her. At sa mundong pinasok niya, walang lugar ang mahihina. Pero paano kung ang babaeng inaapi... ay hindi pala ganoon kahina? And what if the man who hates her the most... becomes the very reason she learns how to survive?
