Elevators. Airplanes. Palaman ng Sandwich. Yung feeling na papunta ka pa lang at excited ka pa lang sa pupuntahan mo. Yung feeling na palapit pa lang yung birthday mo. Yung feeling na palapit pa ang isa pang espesyal na araw. Yung feeling na ilang oras na lang ay pasko na. Yung feeling na tatlong araw na lang simula na ulit ng pasukan. Yung feeling na nasa gitna ka pa lang at di ka pa nakakarating. Yung feeling na malapit na pero hindi pa. Yun ang laging gusto ko. Yung nasa gitna pa lang. Yung nasa gitna ka ng dalawang bagay. Gitna ng isang building. Gitna ng langit at lupa. Gitna ng dalawang matatabang tinapay. Gitna ng byahe papuntang disneyland. Mas gusto ko yung feeling tuwing nagbabyahe kesa doon sa nakarating ka na. Mas gusto ko yung feeling na may inaantay ka kesa doon sa nandyan na. I always like the things in between. "You only like things in between, Coreen. You only like the chase... You only want me chasing after you. You don't want to decide... Pero pakiusap naman, magdesisyon ka na, kasi tao rin naman ako, nasasaktan. And you? I don't think nararamdaman mo yung sakit na nararamdaman ko... You are just too heartless."

Nasusuong sa malaking problema si Lettie. Biglang sumulpot ang kaniyang ama na matagal na panahong nagtago dahil sa halos milyong utang na iniwan nito sa kanila dahil sa pagkalulong nito sa bisyo. At bumalik ito upang sabihing may paraan na itong naisip upang mawala ang mga utang nila - iyon ay ang pakasalan niya ang apo ng matalik na kaibigan ng nasira niyang lola na si Damon Valencia. Labag man sa kalooban niya ay wala siyang napagpilian kung hindi ang pumayag. Ngunit unang beses pa lamang nilang pagkikita ni Damon ay hindi na kaagad maganda ang impresyon niya rito. Tingin niya ay mahihirapan siyang pakisamahan ito. Ngunit nang makasama na niya ito ay narealize niya na hindi naman pala masamang mapangasawa ito. Hanggang sa tuluyan ng mahulog ang loob niya rito. Iyon nga lang alam niyang delikado ang puso niya rito. Dahil kahit nagsasama na sila ay isa pa rin itong estranghero na maraming lihim sa pagkatao. At isa sa mga iyon ang dudurog sa puso niya.

Until one day, she realized that it was all a mistake. Because chasing him was her greatest downfall. ‎It's a mistake to love him. It's a mistake to love someone who can't love you back.

By day, Carlotta spins stories. By night, she serves drinks. Her life was simple. Until her good-for-nothing brother offered her as collateral to pay off a massive gambling debt to a ruthless underground casino. Now she's the reluctant fiancée of a powerful mafioso rumored to have a cruel streak... and a bedroom secret that's the talk of the criminal underworld: erectile dysfunction. Carlotta would've found it funny if it weren't her life on the line. To make things worse, fate throws in another complication: her dangerously attractive new driver-slash-bodyguard. With abs worthy of a thirst trap and a face that screams "Asgardian demigod". He's the kind of temptation a woman in her situation absolutely does not need. Just when she thinks it couldn't get more absurd, her cold, mysterious fiancé summons her to his penthouse suite with one chilling demand: He wants a taste of what's been promised. Her.

"I'm pregnant." Saglit na napamaang si Vincent sa sinabi ni Krista. Bagama't inaasahan na ng dalaga ang magiging reaksyon nito sa katatapos niya pa lang ipahayag ay labis niyang ikinatulig ang sumunod nitong sinabi. "Get rid of it." And that was the last day they saw each other. Fast forward. Makalipas ang pitong taon ay muli silang nagkita. Isang malalim na pilat ang iniwan ni Vincent hindi lang sa puso ni Krista kundi maging sa buo niyang pagkatao. Pero sa kabila niyon ay hindi maitatangging naroroon pa rin ang init ng pagnanasang minsan na nilang natagpuan sa isa't isa. Ang tanong: sapat na ba 'yon upang muli niyang ikulong ang sarili sa isang walang katiyakang relasyon?
