Anuman ang gawin ni Aura ay hindi niya mapaglabanan ang damdamin na naramdaman kay Miguel. Unti-unting nabubuwag ang moog na kinakukulungan niya. At habang inilalayo niya ang sarili'y lalo itong lumalapit, nanunukso. Ano ba talaga ang gusto sa kanya ni Miguel Redoblado? "Beautiful," bulong ni Miguel. Ang mainit na hininga'y dumadampi sa balat niya. "See how you rise up for me, Aura?" Ngunit hindi iyon nakikita ng dalaga. Nakapikit nang mariin ang kanyang mga mata. Her breath was trapped in her burning lungs. Hinintay niyang muling angkinin ni Miguel ang dibdib niya, at muling madama ang damdaming noon lamang niya naranasan. "Look at me, Aura," ani Miguel, stroking her breast with the fingertips of his free hand. "Look at your beauty... and watch me." Hindi magawang magmulat ng mga mata ni Aura. Thinking, here and now, was the last thing in the world she wanted to do. And if she opened her eyes, reality would come flooding in. This was all just a dream, she told herself. A wonderful dream that she wanted to continue.

Kristine Series 23 - Wild Enchantment Adriana's new stepmother considered her an excess baggage. Through cunning manipulation, ipinaubaya siya nito sa pinsan nito-filthy rich Jordan Atienza. He was tall, dark, and definitely-No, hindi niya ia-apply rito ang salitang "handsome." "Handsome" was for movie stars and too tame to be applied to Jordan. And Jordan was anything but tame. He was a beast! Hitler personified. At kinasusuklaman ito ni Adriana sa akusasyong sisirain niya ang pagsasama ng daddy niya at ng bagong asawa nito. Now Adriana considered herself Cinderella with a wicked stepmother, one wicked stepsister (sa katauhan ng pinsan niya). At ang bahay ni Jordan bilang prison tower niya. (Oh, that's Rapunzel's!). Anyway, would Jordan qualify as her Prince Charming? Hmp. Duda siya roon. Beast, baka pa. (Oh, dear, she was really mixing up her fairy tales!)

Nang unang masilayan ni Serena si Jared Atienza ay nakita niya rito ang kalutasan ng mga suliraning iniwan sa kanya ng namayapang mga magulang. Jared Atienza was filthy rich. Bale-wala rito ang halaga ng pagkakasangla ng asyenda nila. That he was sinfully handsome was an added bonus. Kailangang maakit niya ito sa anumang paraan. Jared couldn't care less about his grandfather's codicil. He had come to value his independence. Marriage meant giving it up. His parents were wealthy. Hindi sila maghihirap kung hindi siya mag-aasawa. But that changed when he saw Serena Manzanares. Though she wasn't his type, he desired her. Kailangang mapapayag niya ito sa marriage of convenience-sa anumang paraan.
