(Trope Series # 1) Cerise's younger sister is getting married and she's expected to attend. The logical thing to do was to attend (duh, it's her sister's wedding! It would be weird if she's not there) but how could she attend when her sister's getting married to Leo, her ex best friend slash almost boyfriend from years ago? And it's not like she could just suddenly blurt out their 'history' because she's pretty sure that she'd be branded as bitter by their relatives... like, it's been years! Move on! She needed to attend. But she didn't want to go alone. She needed an arm candy, but not just any arm candy-she needed someone who would make her the envy of the night. Iyong tipo na walang magdadalawang isip kung nakapagmove on na ba talaga siya. She looked and looked and looked for the perfect wedding date. Until she wound up in a bar and met this bartender named Pablo.

Nadia de Marco knew what she wanted in life and that is to be the most powerful woman in the country. Growing up in the Philippines, she knew that it would be an uphill climb. There is misogyny everywhere, but instead of fighting it, she decided to use it to her advantage. That is probably the upside of being undermined, being almost invisible-people will never see you coming. While she was watching everyone's moves, no one was watching hers. Things were going according to plan until Avery Brienne Eliseo came into the picture. Suddenly, she got an enemy. And unlike Avery who has her cousin by her side, she has no one. And she needs to have someone. She's been looking for so long until she found Archibald Reign Gallego-the perfect partner in crime... or so she thought.

Karaminah Viel Trajano has always been told that she's... peculiar. She just doesn't like the things that girls her age are expected to like. But she loves writing... that's probably the only normal thing about her. Problem is, her parents do not support her 'career' of choice. For them, it's nothing more than a hobby. It's either she follows their steps and become a lawyer or become a lawyer. She chose neither. Now, she's forced to work to make a living. But she's not really made for work. Given the choice, she'd spend the day daydreaming about her scripts and characters. Fortunately, someone offered her a job... Madali lang naman daw ito. Magiging 'manager' daw siya ng basketball team. She agreed... After all, how hard could it be to manage a bunch of boys who spend their days running back and forth on a wooden ground... right?

(Game Series # 7) Jersey thought that her life's already as good as it's gonna get... Wala naman siyang karapatang magreklamo-pasalamat pa nga raw siya 'di siya pina-abort ng nanay niya nung nabuntis siya ng tatay niya. Pero araw-araw din naman sa kanyang pina-mukha 'yun... Hanggang isang araw, napagod na siya at lumuwas na sa Maynila. Bahala na. Kahit wala siyang kilala roon, kahit hindi niya alam kung saan magsisimula. Basta mahalaga, malayo na siya sa nanay niya. Pero mali pala siya... maling-mali. Sa Maynila, nandun lahat ng mapagsamantalang tao. Sa Maynila, nandun lahat ng manloloko. Sa Maynila, nandun lahat ng manggagamit sa kanya... Gusto niya nang mawalan ng pag-asa. Mabuti na lang dumating siya.

(Yours Series # 2) Julienne Salvacion definitely didn't think that she'd reach the age of 32 and still be unmarried. She was sure that she'd, at least, be engaged before she turned 30. But she was dead wrong. She badly wanted to settle down already like everyone else around her, but guys kept on dumping her because according to all the male population, she's just 'too much.' She was the problem. Fine. So, when she met Levi, arguably the hottest guy she's ever laid her eyes on, she 'fine-tuned' her personality to match his. She could do that. She grew up in a family where she's always forced to smile and say that everything's alright. But until when can she pretend?

Fresia wanted to love Richard. She tried for three years, pero walang nangyari. She thought that she wasn't capable of love because she wasn't shown love, growing up. Ang ate niya ang magaling. Ang ate niya ang importante. Ang ate niya ang mas mahal. When they lost Fiona, mas lalong lumayo ang loob ng mga magulang niya sa kanya. She couldn't be like Fiona. She couldn't even love Richard, na mas mahal pa ng mga magulang niya sa kanya. For a long time, she believed that there's something wrong with her... until she met Bullet, the hot interior designer that she mistook for a stripper. But with Bullet's dark past clouding their present, can they have a future together?

"I have a proposition," kaswal na sabi ni Ashley. "What?" tanong ni Bobby. "Tutal iniwan ka na ni Kate at hindi na magiging akin kahit kailan si Jacob...Wala kang girlfriend, wala rin akong boyfriend--" Ashley smiled playfully. "Pwedeng tayo na lang?" "Is this some kind of a prank, Ashley?" "No." Bobby laughed quietly and shook his head, then smirked at Ashley. Why would he believe anyway? Ashley was a bigtime bully and became the HFU's heartless bitch when she tried to ruin the relationship of two of the most famous campus royalties in HFU. "You're single, I am single. You're crazy, I'm crazier. You're a jerk, I'm a bitch. We could make an exceptionally good team," pangungumbinsi ni Ashley. "Just for fun." Ashley did not know why she wanted to be in a make-believe relationship, with a make-believe boyfriend even if she knew Bobby will never be hers. Just for fun of it. "I promise I won't be clingy. I know you still love Kate and as soon as Kate comes back into your life, I'm out of the picture. Agad-agad. Pronto." "You're crazy," naiiling na wika ni Bobby. "I am. Let's have fun and make crazy things together." Ashley looked directly into Bobby's eyes. "Bobby, will you be my make-believe boyfriend?" Bobby sighed. "Okay, fine. I am now your make-believe boyfriend. Pero sa oras na makipagbalikan sa akin si Kate--" "I'm out of the picture." Some crazy act. Because Bobby was Jacob's bestfriend. And Jacob was her ultimate college love whom she knew will never be hers. Pero pumayag siya sa isang relasyong siya ang talo sa umpisa pa lang. Because she fell in love with Bobby along the way. And Kate came back to take back what was originally hers. Ashley knew she was doomed. Again. Dahil nagmahal na naman siya ng isang lalaking hindi na naman magiging kanya kahit kailan A BIG thank you to @yhang__yhang (yhangunnie) for my nice book cover. Please follow her ❤
