Book One of the Forbidden Fruit Series ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ For Pomellina Biancaneve, love was never supposed to begin with a debt. Raised with nothing but kindness in her heart, she never imagined that one day, her own parents would offer her as payment for a debt they could never repay. Wala siyang nagawa kundi tanggapin ang kapalarang ipinagdesisyon ng iba para sa kanya. She finds herself bound to the only heir of the powerful Salvatore family-a man feared by many and known by one name: The Beast. May nabasa at narinig na siya tungkol sa lalaki. Ruthless. Merciless. Dangerous. Kaya bago pa man sila magkita, inihanda na niya ang sarili sa lalaking akala niya ay magiging bangungot ng buong buhay niya. So she prepared herself for the worst. But the man waiting for her at the altar was nothing like the monster everyone described. He was patient when she was afraid. Gentle when she expected cruelty. Thoughtful in ways she never imagined. Sa bawat araw na lumilipas, mas lalo siyang napapaisip kung mali ba ang lahat ng narinig niya. Maybe the Beast never existed. Maybe the man standing in front of her was simply misunderstood. Or maybe... not every beast bares its fangs from the very beginning. Some wear the face of a prince... until the darkness within finally hungers to be fed. The most dangerous beasts aren't always the ones that growl... Sometimes, they're the ones who make you feel the safest before they devour you whole. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ Disclaimer: This story is written in Taglish (Tagalog-English) and is intended for Filipino readers.
