_CYTHELIGHT
In the world of taguan ng anak, Amanda Beatrice Alfonso had her last wish: "Itago mo sa akin ang bata."
Growing up in a vulgar environment, Beatrice learned the unmasked reality at a young age. She became a rebel--reckless and unfiltered. Not even her remaining family--her brother--stood a chance of convincing her to straighten her path, until she couldn't hear him anymore... and everything changed in a snap.
Expelled from her previous university, Beatrice moved to De Guiva Province and enrolled at De Guiva University, where she met Shawn Azeil Swares, the bullies' favorite pastime. Beatrice, torn between maintaining her newly cleaned hands and helping the man who reminded her of her poor brother, chose the latter. Ever since Beatrice defended the man with dead, jet-black eyes, he hasn't left her side. Shawn followed Beatrice like a dog, so she seized the opportunity. She used him as her slave, which Shawn accepted with pleasure.
Spending time together melted Beatrice's monstrous perception of herself--cursed, wicked woman. However, life could be a bitch sometimes. Just when she began seeing the future, her past haunted her present.
With enemies left and right, Beatrice pierced a dagger into the same man who healed her. She asked him to keep the baby and never show their face ever again--as her last wish.
Until five years later...
