Briseida Montrose has always been the black sheep of the powerful Montrose Dynasty - one of the Asia's most influential family of social media moguls, owners of Montrose Media Group, an empire built on image, influence, and control. To the public, they're flawless. To her, they're strangers. After being ghosted by her own family for two months, Briseida is suddenly summoned for what she's told is a "family dinner." What she doesn't know is that it's a setup - an arranged engagement designed to strengthen business ties with another powerful family: the Santoros, a dynasty of world-renowned chefs. Her supposed fiancé, Evanridge Santoro, is a mute chef whose silence speaks louder than all the noise around her. Calm, patient, and grounded, Evanridge becomes the quiet contrast to her chaos - the one person who doesn't judge her for falling apart. But love doesn't come easily for Briseida. With a boyfriend who betrays her, a family that treats her like a pawn, and a career that's the only thing keeping her alive, she must choose between protecting her fragile world or risking it for something real. Because maybe, just maybe... the man who cannot speak will be the one who finally teaches her how to be heard. ❀࿐ Started: 10-10-25 Ended: 11- 26-25

Rotchdelle Imperial, the pampered heiress of Asia's most prominent hotel empire, has always lived under the shadow of her father's demanding legacy. She is sent to Batangas not just to oversee construction, but to secure her position as the designated heir. The family's new luxury hotel is her final test, and her father's acceptance hinges on its success. But her mission is threatened by Rafael Santiago, a principled civil engineer who stands with the local farmers whose land is being encroached upon. Rotchdelle initially despises Rafael, seeing him as a stubborn obstacle standing in the way of her life's purpose and her family's fortune. He believes her family is corrupting the locals, while she believes he is delaying her inheritance. But as their clashes intensify, a begrudging respect-and then a forbidden passion-begins to grow, threatening to upend everything she thought she wanted and the legacy she's been groomed for. With her future hanging in the balance, Rotchdelle must decide what is more valuable: the empire her father offers, or the love she never saw coming. ❀࿐ Started: 11-06-25
