Maizie had never been allowed to simply be a daughter. As the eldest, every choice she made was less about what she wanted and more about what could keep her family from falling apart. There was no room for hesitation. There was no time to drift or figure herself out. Eight years had blurred by since the scandal she caused, and now Maizie found herself trapped in a situation she couldn't escape. Lucio Tan had finally regained power over her life. The same man who once placed freedom in her palm and offered her a promise of a lifetime. The very same man she left in front of the altar... knowing that even love had no place in the role she chose to carry. *** Firstborn Series #2

Perez Iverson Claveria belongs to a well-known Claveria family, tied to the very name of their province. Growing up, he's got everything he wants, he needs... but growing up too, he realizes not everything he gets. Kasi gusto niya ng girlfriend pero tila ba ilag sa kanya ang mga babae sa lugar nila. Every meet up is a fail. Either siya yung hindi gusto o siya yung walang gusto. Pihikan. Pero pangit naman. He lacks something in the physical department according to some people. Walang dating. Boring. He's too normal and basic compared to his cousins. But then meeting Lianna Lou Arenas changed that whole game for him. Alam niyang wala siyang pag-asa. Pero ano ngayon? There's no way in hell he's backing out without a fight! E siya yung kausap e! Siya yung chinat! He can feel his legs shaking, his tongue numbing, because even with his family's background, even if he's a Claveria... walang kapantay iyon pagdating sa babaeng unang beses niyang ayaw sukuan. He has girls that he likes... but Lianna... she's someone he's not willing to let go. No fucking way. Even if it turns out to be all lies. Kasi hindi pala si Lianna yung kachat niya. It's a different girl. And the teas of Claveria begins.
