Sorcha Byrne and her twin used to love mythology when they were little. Their parents will tell them stories about the different gods and goddesses, and naturally, her twin brother's favorite is the King of the Gods, Zeus. But she was more drawn to Hestia. The goddess of the hearth, home, and family. While Hestia was most known for tending the hearth and ensuring the well-being of her community, that wasn't what made Sorcha interested in her. It was the fact that she's wise enough to keep to herself, stay in a quiet place, and save herself from all the dramas around her. She's the greatest unbothered queen, and Sorcha see herself in her. The only difference is that their hearths are far different from one another. She's like a frosty version of Hestia. Not that she's unfeeling or anything. She's just more comfortable with ignoring everything around her. Since she makes no effort to try to understand the world outside of her own, it wasn't surprising that it's now causing her problems. So here she is facing a dilemma since her no-nonsense attitude is causing problems at work. She was expecting to get fired, but the Dawson siblings are really good employers. As a compromise, they propose an interpersonal skills training just for her. She just need to take on a small special case where she will be shadowed to mentor someone in the ins and outs of her daily job. Wala naman sanang problema. It's supposed to be easy... except it wasn't. Not when the person she's "babysitting" is far from the idea she have of a wide-eyed student, and instead she's going to be stuck for ninety hell days with Darien Zeon Henderson, also known as Daze, a famous actor who is currently preparing for a role he's going to play. Ninety days? Damn it. Someone just please burn me and sacrifice me to the gods and goddesses, or it would be Daze Henderson that I will offer as one!

A night of mistake turned my life into a series of turmoil. A night when alcohol was mixed with suspicion, pain, and even...love. Mali man o tama. But hope was still breathing life in me knowing that everything is just temporary. Umaasa akong hindi magtatagal na dadating ang araw na isang memorya na lang ang mga naganap na hindi na kailangan balikan pa. But I was wrong. I was wrong that they will remain unchanging just because my heart is still the same as before. Dahil ginusto niya ang puso ko na pag-aari na ng iba habang ang sarili kong kabigkis, sarili kong dugo at laman, ay para bang nais angkinin ang puso ng taong akala ko akin lang.

I always feel like I'm floating through life. There was nothing to hold me in one place, there's nothing that has enough weight for me to stay. Still... I wanted to believe that there's something special out there waiting for me. Pero hindi pala ganoong kadali ang lahat. It's just too tiring to struggle and keep my head above the water... to fight the tides trying to pull me down. So for a moment, I stopped fighting... letting the currents take me where it wants me to go. I just didn't expect the next thing life pulled for me. An embodiment of uncertainty. A gamble, an unpredictability. Life gave me a wild card. It's a bittersweet risk. The question is... do I have the winning hand or will I end up holding on to nothing?

For Luna Alondra Dawson, marriage is a word so simple but holds so much weight. Some people are scared of it, some don't care much about it, for some it's just a paper, while there are those that just use it as a form of agreement, and there are those that are like her who consider it a dream. The happily ever after. She has goals other than marriage. She made sure that she will check off every goal she has on her list. She made a name for herself. She was known for being the indomitable and tenacious Luna Alondra Dawson. Pero sa haba ng listahan na meron siya at sa dami niyang nalagyan ng marka sa listahan na iyon, iisa lang talaga ang nananatiling mailap sa kaniya. She persisted. She didn't gave up. Until he became hers. His ring on her finger, his name as hers. Going home and seeing their shoes neatly arranged side by side. His mug on the coffee table, his toothbrush next to her own, and their pillows on the bed they share. That should be it, right? But things aren't as they seem. Because they have a secret. A secret that she don't want anyone to uncover. Until it's the right time. Until she's ready to set it free.

Tiara Millicent Silvano is considered as one of the most famous and influential prima ballerinas. She was at the top. There was no place to go. There was nothing more to reach for. Control, which had been the power she yielded from a very young age, became the sword pointed at her neck. She was exhausted, ragged to the bones. She was tired of how the world sees her. Like a wind-up music box with a ballerina that doesn't stop dancing. A beautiful doll that only exist to be admired. Until it was him who was watching her. Domino Dawson. He doesn't look at her like an object of fascination, but rather, it feels like he couldn't care any less if she broke her knees and stopped dancing. It's like he doesn't care if she's out of rhythm, if she doesn't smile and wave, or if she act a little unhinged and unbalanced. He doesn't see her pretense of perfection; what he sees is the brokenness, the cracks, and the edges... the real her that even she can't recognize at times.
