collection of one-shot stories

Sa mundo ng politika, hindi lahat ng laban ay nasa kamera, minsan, ito ay nasa pagitan ng dalawang pusong nagtatago sa dilim. Isang pag-ibig na inakalang totoo, subalit unti-unting binabalot ng pagpapanggap at pagtataksil. Sa pagitan ng kapangyarihan at pag-ibig, may pusong kailangang pumili. Isang lihim na relasyon, isang kasunduang hindi matatakasan, at isang pagbabalik na muling magpapaalab sa nakaraan. Ngunit sa isang mundong nababalot ng ilusyon, alin ba ang tunay at alin ang panaginip?

The Senate was never meant to be a place for love. Yet somewhere between late-night hearings, endless debates, and quiet moments away from the public eye, two senators found something worth holding on to. Beyond the Plenary is a story of love, sacrifice, family, and second chances. As politics, public scrutiny, and personal ambitions pull them apart, Risa and Sherwin must navigate the painful distance between duty and the life they once dreamed of together. Because sometimes, despite the years, the heartbreak, and all the chaos in between, love finds its way back home.

The Hontiveros and Gatchalian families have ruled the country's business empire for generations as bitter, wealthy rivals. But when an unprecedented supply chain crisis threatens both of their fortunes, they are forced into an uneasy alliance. The price of peace? An arranged marriage to seal the merger. Risa Hontiveros-brilliant, calculated, and fiercely independent-is the logical choice to marry the Gatchalian heir, Sherwin. The only problem? They have despised each other since high school, where they constantly battled for the top spot in psychological and academic warfare. Refusing to swallow her pride, Risa rejects the arrangement, forcing her playful yet mastermind younger sister, Pia, to step in and agree to marry Sherwin instead. While Risa convinces herself that she has escaped a corporate trap, Sherwin's gaze keeps lingering on her, and Pia begins to realize that her sister's hatred looks a lot like repressed passion. When a sudden confession, a rainy-night confrontation, and a desperate runaway-bride scheme culminate in a chaotic wedding day catastrophe, Risa finds herself forced to step into the white gown. Standing at the altar with her ultimate rival, Risa must finally decide if Sherwin Gatchalian is her greatest corporate threat-or the only man smart enough to win her heart.

The Heartbreak of Politics (WINRI)

A Senate slow burn AU where everything stays professional in public-but never simple in private. Between sessions, group chats, and viral moments, Risa Hontiveros and Win Gatchalian keep things unspoken, even when the silence says otherwise. Because after the gavel falls, nothing really ends.

Perfection is a lonely road, but Theresia Hontiveros walks it beautifully. As Ateneo's top student, journalist, and theater star, she holds herself to an impossible standard. Until Sherwin Gatchalian came: a brilliant new transfer student who matches her intellect wit-for-wit, threat-for-threat, and headline-for-headline. Forced to co-lead the school's most prestigious graduation issue, Theresia views Sherwin as the ultimate threat to her perfect record. To her, it's a brutal rivalry where losing is not an option. To him, it's a game of cat-and-mouse that he thoroughly enjoys winning. As their academic battles turn into a magnetic game of wits and subtle flirtation, Theresia must face her greatest fear: what happens when the one person who challenges her ranking is also the only one who truly understands her?
