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 has one goal: prove she's worthy of inheriting her family's hotel empire. As the youngest and most underestimated heir of the powerful Imperial family, she's spent her entire life trying to earn the approval of a father who never seems satisfied. When she's sent to Batangas to oversee the construction of the company's newest luxury hotel, Rotchdelle sees it as her final chance to prove that she's more than just a spoiled socialite with a famous last name. She's prepared for demanding clients, construction delays, and impossible expectations. What she's not prepared for is Rafael Santiago-the infuriating civil engineer determined to protect the local community from the very project she's been sent to complete. To Rafael, the hotel represents greed and displacement. To Rotchdelle, it's the key to the future she's been chasing her whole life. Their constant clashes turn every meeting into a battlefield, but the more they challenge each other, the harder it becomes to ignore the connection growing between them. As sparks fly and feelings deepen, Rotchdelle finds herself caught between loyalty and love, ambition and conscience. With her future hanging in the balance and her heart leading her somewhere she never expected, she must decide what matters more: the empire she's spent her life fighting for or the one person who makes her question everything she thought she wanted. ❀࿐ Started: 06-06-26
