If only she had listened to the little voice in her head, she could have been in a relationship with the only man who ever caught her attention--River Mattias Fuentabella. But it was too late for her. She was a ticking time bomb waiting to go off. A heartbeat away from silence. Kahit ayaw niya, kailangan niyang tanggapin ang hatol ng tadhana.

"Ooo girl look, look, look." She tapped her shoulder repeatedly. Euphoria looked to the entrance instinctively only to see the man she had seen in the alley the first night she worked here. Her breath hitched as she watched them walk in. She never dared to tell a soul about what she'd seen that night. She wasn't looking for any trouble. Especially when he let her go."Who is he?" "That bambina, is no other than Demetrius D'Agostino. The Godfather. He's basically the Capo of all the Capo's. You see Jamal is a Capo, Yes?

C O M P L E T E D : 24/02/22 Sienna Callum was popular - scratch that - she was the queen of high school. She had tons of gorgeous friends wishing to be her, smoking hot flings, and an unbelievably trendy fashion sense. But, she needed one more thing. Decent grades to graduate. Roman Lawrence was a nerd - scratch that - THE nerd of high school. Yet, his exceptional intelligence made him stand out among those seeking to learn. He had one problem though, the girl he'd been crushing on since kindergarten didn't like him back. One of the reasons? His lack of experience.... sexually. This isn't boy meets girl. This is mouse meets vixen. This is what happens when these two opposites strike a deal and things get hot.

(Delilah Series # 1) "Sigurado ka ba na ipapalaglag mo, Winona?" Boses na naman ng walang pusong ama niya na pumukaw sa akin. Mas hinigpitan ko ang mistulang pagyapos sa bagong buhay na dinadala. Napangiti ako sa sarili. "Oo, Senator Caleb Del Fuego. Sigurado na ako," sambit ko at ibinaba na ang telepono. Dahan-dahan akong lumayo na mula sa bintana at tinungo ang salamin sa sulok. Pinagmasdan ko ang sarili ko sa harapan ng salamin. Nakita ko ang isang babaeng mistulang isang multo dahil sa suot na puting bestida. Nakalugay ang mahabang napakaitim na buhok na kulot sa dulo. Wala na ang kolorete sa mukha na nakapang-akit sa isa sa mga pinakamakapangyarihang tao sa bansa. Hubad. Makasalanan. Isang apid sa lipunan. Anay ng pamilya. Ako si Winona Arabella Santibañez. Ako ay isang kabit. I am The Senator's Woman.

(Delilah Series # 3) "You were my father's mistress. How else do you want me to treat you?" Halos matumba ako sa bigat na dumagan sa puso ko dahil sa sinabi niya. Tell him! Tell him the truth. Tell him why you had to do it! Sigaw ng utak ko ngunit hindi naman kayang panindigan ng bibig ko. Tulad na lang ng nakaraan ay wala akong ibang nagawa. I looked at him with pleading eyes. Hoping for him to understand. Begging him to search for the truth himself. "Tell me, Clau or shall I say tell me, Doctor Abigail Claudine Manalo," binabalot ng pait ang bawat pagbigkas niya sa buo kong pangalan. "Did you think of my father while you slept with me? Did you wish it was him beside you while you were in bed with me?" Bumalatay ang sakit at pang-aakusa sa kanyang mga mata. "Did you . . . even love me?" "Ang . . . Ang tagal na no'n, Theo," tanging nasabi ko sa mahinang boses. Napasinghap ako at napatakip sa bibig nang suntukin niya ang pader. Malutong ang sunud-sunod na pagmura niya. Nagtagis ang kanyang bagang. Tiningnan ko ang kamay niya at nahindik sa nakitang dugo na dumaloy mula rito. Sumabay dito ang pagbuhos ng mga luha ko. "T-Theo. . ." Tinitigan niya ang kanyang nagdurugong kamao. Ni isang beses ay hindi niya ako sinulyapan. It was like I wasn't even there. Just him, his anger, and his pain. He turned around and walked away. I wanted so bad to tell him the truth. Pero paano ko gagawin iyon? Paano ko sasabihin sa kanya ang katotohanan kung lalo lang itong ikawawasak ng buhay niya?

(Delilah Series # 2) "Is it true that you were your own stepfather's mistress?" Alam ko na kailangan kong depensahan ang sarili ko. I look at the few people who are seated inside the trial court. Sa mga mata nila ay nakikita kong hinuhusgahan na nila ang buo kong pagkatao. Dumapo ang tingin ko kay Lolo na nakaupo sa tabi ni Attorney Pelaez. Pumikit siya nang mariin. "N-No... No... That is not true... " namamaos kong paninindigan. Halos maubusan na ng lakas. I could not feel the witness chair where I'm sitting on anymore. Pumikit ako nang mariin at kasabay nito ay ang paglandas ng maiinit na mga luha. "Please... Hindi t-totoo 'yan... Please s-stop," pagmamakaawang hikbi ko. Yumuko ako dahil hindi na kaya pang tanggapin ang mga mapanghusgang tingin ng mga nasa harapan. Lalong-lalo na ng abogadong siyang tila ba nagpaparatang. "Do you have anymore questions, Mr. Attorney?" mahinahong tanong ng judge. "None, Your Honor," biglang namaos ang boses niya. "No more questions for this cross examination." Nag-angat ako ng mukha. Tiningnan ko ang hitsura ng lalaki na minsan ko ng minahal nang lubusan. I looked at the face of my mother's criminal defense attorney. The very face of Attorney Lake Jacobe Mendez.

Margarita Lopez is the prodigal stepdaughter of a business magnate. Mas kilala siya bilang si Sasha Moran, isang kontrobersiyal na sexy star. However, she became most famous as the girl in the sex video with Dominic Arellano. They are the most unlikely couple, coming from the opposite ends of the spectrum. Kahit sino ay makakapagsabi na wala silang pagkakapareho, na wala silang mapagkakasunduan. That is, of course, until they start to take their clothes off...

Paano kung hindi ka na makontento sa kung ano ang mayroon kayo? You want something more. Paano kung ang isang bagay na sa simula ay simple lang ay nagsisimula ng maging komplikado? You want something different. Paano kung iba na ang nararamdaman mo para sa kanya pero pareho pa rin ang turing niya sa'yo? You want something real. What if you're just a girl he fucks, but he's the boy you love?

THE LOSERS' CLUB SERIES #1 Have you ever been so smitten with someone that you were just so grateful they existed? Tipong makita mo lang siya, solved ka na. Kahit hindi mo siya makausap o makasama, inspired na inspired ka. That was the case for Dawn Karsen Navarro, a die-hard fan of a prominent singer and songwriter, Dior Kobe Gallardo. Kahit pa laging General Admission ticket lang ang nabibili niya at halos kasinlaki lang ng gagamba ang natatanaw niya mula sa upuan, marinig niya lang ang boses ng binata, kuntento na siya. So, when luck pulled a trick on her poor heart, she didn't hesitate to take advantage of the opportunity. She went from being in the farthest row to being in the backstage, from seeing only a glimpse of her idol to a face-to-face encounter, and from hearing only a fraction of his life to knowing everything there was to know about him. She had made a lot of progress. But, why did she go back to being seated in the farthest row? Why did she go back to being just a mere fan? After everything they vowed, why did she go back to being a stranger in the midst of the crowd?

THE LOSERS' CLUB SERIES #2 Someday you'll look back on your mistakes and laugh. To name a few instances, these are those awkward first kisses you shared with your first boyfriend, those failed recitations that your classmates don't seem to forget, and those poor outfit ideas that you once thought were cute. Iyong mga dating nakakahiya, nakakainis, at masakit para sa 'yo, pagdating ng araw, ngingitian mo na lang. Maybe by then, you'll realize how much time you've invested in being too emotional. Pero may mga bagay na kahit matagal nang nangyari, hindi natin magawang tawanan. Siguro dahil nakakahiya pa rin? Siguro dahil nakakainis pa rin? O siguro, dahil masakit pa rin? For Amari Sloane Mendoza, it's all of the above. Among all the awkward, failed, and poor instances, falling in love with her classmate, Leon Ysmael Zamora, is the only mistake she can't laugh about.
