Rejecting Iya's confessions is Jacob's norm. After sharing three kisses that Jacob claimed as meaningless, will Iya finally give up--or will she keep holding on until her dream romance turns into reality? *** "I'm falling for your meaningless kisses." Tatlong halik. Lahat, walang kahulugan. Hindi ko dapat panghawakan pero paano ba ang hindi umasa kung parang meron ang wala? *** I have always wanted to be Jacob Tejeron's bride since I was six years old. People downplayed it to just having an intense crush, a puppy love, or a superhero model. Naisip ko, baka gano'n nga. Baka tinitingala ko si Jacob dahil siya 'yong hero na laging nandiyan para sagipin ako sa lahat ng palpak. I thought I could outgrow this feeling. But like a bad habit, I kept on looking at him; I kept on wishing with him; I kept on falling for him⁠-when all I am to him is a sister. Hindi ako dapat umasa⁠-hindi dapat aasa⁠-kahit sa mga halik niyang wala namang kahulugan. Pero paano ang hindi umasa? #

Eight years ago, Iuhence met Mhelanie Tschauder at his mother's birthday party. She was the most stunning and ravishing woman his eyes ever laid on. In just one night, she managed to awaken emotions that only a man who had a heart could feel-apparently, he had none. Eight years later, they met again. The feeling was still there. Hindi iyon nawala kahit na ibaon pa niya iyon sa pinakamalalim na parte ng pagkatao niya. But apparently, Mhel didn't care if she made him feel strange emotions. She didn't even care when he told her that he was always housing a boner every time she was near. Wala itong pakialam sa kanya kahit pa yata masagasaan siya ng sixteen-wheeler na truck. And it irritated him. Wala pang babae na tumanggi sa kanya. Wala pa siyang nakilalang babae na walang pakialam sa kanya. Women begged to be pleasured by him. But not Mhel. She was rritatingly different and she was annoyingly beautiful. Believing that a man got to do what a man got to do in order to get the attention of the woman who captured his heart and mind ... ... he kidnaped her. CECELIB | C.C.

His Confession I have a confession to make, about a girl named Yelena. She is my childhood sweetheart. Lumaki ako at nagkaisip na siya ang palaging kasama ko. Nang matutunan ko ang kahulugan ng salitang "pag-ibig", nalaman ko rin na si Yelena ang pag-ibig ko. Hindi naging madali para sa amin ang lahat. Dahil sa akin, naghirap si Yelena, nasaktan, at paulit-ulit na lumuha. I suddenly realized one day the gap between us. Sa paglipas ng mga araw, lumayo ang loob niya sa akin. And before I knew it, she already hates me. I felt like she suddenly became a stranger. I tried reaching out but she keeps rejecting me. I also hated her that time, alam ko naman na mahal din niya ako. Pero palagi ko siyang natatagpuan kasama ang iba, and jealousy is killing me inside. Hanggang sa dumating ang isang pangyayaring nagbigay linaw sa akin. Kung bakit siya lumalayo, and why she keeps rejecting me. All these time, I didn't know I am hurting her. And that's how fool I am, mas naniwala ako sa iba kaysa sa babaeng mahal ko.

"I searched for my freedom and I found that when you came into my life." Teaser: A Fanboy's Confession Hindi ko alam kung saan ko sisimulan ang confession na ito. Gaya ng ibang mga kaibigan ko, mayroon din akong first love, pero ang pagkakaiba namin. Walang nakakaalam nito kung hindi ako lang. Bakit ko nga ba kailangan ilihim? Because the girl that I love is unreachable. She's the brightest star in my eyes, and in my heart. Her name in Nigella Cruz. Sometimes, she's right in front of me, but I can't reach her. Near yet so far. Pero may isa pa akong lihim, sa tuwing hindi ko nagugustuhan ang ginagawa niya. I became her number one basher online, it's not that I hate her, kung hindi, iyon lang ang nakikita kong paraan para maiparating sa kanya ang kamalian niya. Hanggang sa hindi ko akalain na darating ang panahon na magagawa ko na abutin ang mga kamay niya, makikita ko ng malapitan ang kagandahan niya. Heaven made a way for me to enter her heart, and I am the happiest man alive! Sa wakas, napansin na rin niya ako. Sa wakas, may pagkakataon na akong sabihin na mahal ko siya. But truly, love is not always about sweet dreams, nakalimutan ko na may nightmares din pala. Nasaktan kita, pero mas doble ang sakit na binalik mo sa akin. Then I thought, maybe... it's time for me to give you up, don't you think?

"If I didn't make it as your leading man on this stage play. Siguro naman qualified ako in real life." Teaser: A Rich Man Son's Confession The girl's name is Darlene, and music brought her to me. Nakilala ko siya sa mga panahon na kailangan niya ng makakapitan at tutulong sa kanya. Dumating siya sa buhay ko, sa mga panahon na wala akong pakialam sa iba maliban sa sarili ko. Hindi ko akalain na magiging makabuluhan ang lahat dahil kay Darlene. Para lang pumayag ako na maging leading man niya sa Musical Play, akalain n'yo ba na niligawan niya ako? I was too overwhelmed with what she did, kaya naisip ko sakyan ko na lang ang gusto niya. Hindi naman talaga ako papayag, pero natagpuan ko na lang ang sarili ko na masaya kasama siya. Hanggang sa tinanggap ko ang offer niya, I became her leading man. Hindi ko akalain na darating ako sa punto na, pati sa totoong buhay ay gugustuhin ko na maging leading man ni Darlene. But things aren't easy as I thought it should be. Pinaalala sa akin ng pagkakataon na hindi nga pala ako ang mahal ni Darlene, at may hinihintay siyang bumalik. Nang bumalik ang lalaking tunay niyang mahal. He confronted me. But I casually deny what I feel. Okay na dapat ang lahat, di ba? Okay lang naman sa akin kung hindi niya ako mahal, kahit na nasasaktan ako. Lalaki ako at kaya kong i-handle ang nararamdaman ko. Pero bakit parang nasasaktan din siya?
