Madeline was foolish to have accepted a job from a strange old man. Ang trabaho ay nasa bayang nilisan niya may limang taon na ang nakalipas at ipinangakong hindi na babalikan. As if being pulled by some invisible string, Madeline travelled south. At sa pagkamangha niya, ang bahay na inialok sa kanyang tirahan ay ang bahay kastila na noon pa man ay itinuring nang haunted house. She and Keith hadn't believed that. Because it was in that old villa where they had first made love. Sa bahay ding iyon sila bumuo ng mga pangarap. Sa bahay na iyon siya naging maligaya hanggang sa gabing ipinasya kiyang lisanin ang San Ignacio. Now, would the same house bring her back the magic it had brought her five years ago?

Nang unang masilayan ni Serena si Jared Atienza ay nakita niya rito ang katuparan ng mga suliraning iniwan sa kanya ng namayapang mga magulang. Jared Atienza was filthy rich. Bale-wala rito ang halaga ng pagkakasangla ng asyenda nila. That he was sinfully handsome was an added bonus. Kailangang maakit niya ito sa anumang paraan. Jared couldn't care less about his grandfather's codicil. He had come to value his independence. Marriage meant giving it up. His parents were wealthy. Hindi sila maghihirap kung hindi siya mag-aasawa. But that changed when he saw Serena Manzanares. Though she wasn't his type, he desired her. Kailangang mapapayag niya ito sa marriage of convenience--sa anumang paraan. ____ **from the works of Martha Cecilia**

"Your father paid me to marry you, Cielo. Not to bed you. Pero mapag-uusapan natin iyan. Should you want me to sleep with you. All you have to do is ask and I'll oblige willingly." Makalipas ang pitong taon ay bumalik sa Trinidad si Gael para lang matuklasang nakatakdang ilitin ng bangko ang lupain nila na isinanla ng tatang niya bago ito namatay. At iyon ang hindi niya mapapayagang mangyari. Ang problema ay wala siyang maisip na paraan para mabayaran kahit man lang ang interes ng pagkakasanla. Then Vince Saavedra, the bank CEO, made an offer Gael could hardly refuse. Ibabalik nito sa kanya ang titulo ng lupain niya at ang deed of sale ng iba pa niyang ari-arian pakasalan lamang niya ang anak nito -- the stubborn, spoiled, but beautiful Cielo Saavedra. Gael would marry the she-devil herself if it was the only way to get his property back.

This is officially Zach and Elisse story, but just a piece of advise, kung hindi niyo pa po nababasa ang first part ng story nila, huwag niyo muna itong basahin. Dahil maguguluhan kayo sa takbo ng story... Pero kung mapilit po kayo okay lang din po... As I always say this is a fanmade story written by me. The original author of Kristine Series is Ms Martha Cecelia but she was not able to write this particular story until she passed away. Hope you like and enjoy this story...
