NOTE: SPG/R-R18 Dahil sa isang kasinungalingan, nagawang akitin ni Lockett si Creed Santillana, isang sikat na Phiotographer. At dahil din sa kasinungalingan iyon, naangkin siya ng binata. Akala ni Lockett ay walang halaga ang nangyari sa kanila ni Creed dahil kinaumagahan pagkatapos siya nitong angkinin, nag-offer ito ng 'friendship'. Tinawanan niya ang friendship na ini-o-offer nito. It's absurd! Para sa kanya, isa iyong kalokohan at alam niya sa sarili niya na hindi isang kaibigan ang pagtingin niya sa binata. From friendship, he offered her to be his lover. Sino siya para tanggihan ang offer na iyon, lalo na kung nasa kalagitnaan sila ng mainit na pagtatalik habang minumungkahi nitong maging lover siya nito. Hindi akalain ni Lockett na mas lalalim pa relasyon nila ni Creed. Kahit walang label ang relasyon nila, masaya siya. Nararamdaman niyang may puwang siya sa puso nito at ganoon din naman ito sa puso niya. And then one day, her illness decided to be the antagonist of their love story. She has to leave for his sake. Ang hindi niya inakala na sa pag-alis niya ay kasabay niyon ang pagkawala ng memorya niya. At sa pagbabalik ni Lockett, mapapatunayan kaya ni Creed na totoo ang kasabihang 'the heart sees what the eyes can't'?

"It is your choice," he said, stepping so close to me that our lips were almost touching. "Either do what I say - or get another job." My heart stood still as I gazed up into his deep, dark, dangerous eyes... In a world where women's only role in life is to sit at home and look pretty, Lilly is determined to fight for her freedom. There's only one problem: a powerful man blocking her way.

Maria Georgianne Marfori loved Noah Elizalde more than anything in this world. Ganon din halos lahat ng mga babaeng kilala niya. Yes, he's probably that hot and adorable. Kaya naman ay maaga niyang natutunan ang pag mamahal ng walang pag aalinlangan at takot. Kailanman ay hindi niya naisip na darating ang araw na susuko siya at mapapagod. Never. Noah will end up with her no matter what. But is it really right to love him intensely at a very young age? Her family didn't believe in love. They think it's pure sentiment. They think purely loving someone with your heart was wrong. Binigyan tayo ng Panginoon ng puso at utak. Puso, para maramdaman ang sentimento. Utak, para mapag isipan kung dapat bang tanggapin ang sentimento ng puso. We have to identify who's the better judge. But then again, do we always have that chance to judge? Paano kung ipaglaban mo man iyon ay wala ka parin namang halaga? How are you going to fight for your heart when you know from the very beginning you will lose? That you are Worthless? Why do we all want this? To love what does not love us. To leave those who want to stay. To push away those who want to stay close. To treasure what is worthless.

Portia Cecilia Ignacio is a model daughter. Siya na ang mahal na mahal ang kanyang mga magulang. Gagawin niya ang lahat para lang sa ikakasaya ng pamilya. She would climb mountains and swim vast oceans just for the happiness of her beloved parents and family. Pero minsan, sa sobra sobrang pagmamahal sa ibang tao, nakakaligtaan na ang pagmamahal sa sarili. Is it really worth it? She shouldn't ask right? It's family! But then... how could one person make her doubt her decisions? Is it really worth the sacrifice? To give all of her? To give everything? To give up everything? All for what she's been hoping for since time immemorial?

It was wrong to be near her. No. He shouldn't be near her. Nilalabanan ni Brandon ang kanyang sarili dahil useless ang attraction na nararamdaman niya. For him, it was all just a game. For him it's pretend-love every night and the show is over every morning. Kaya illegal ang makaramdam ng constant attraction para sa isang babaeng hindi niya naman gaanong kilala. But when Aurora Veronica wore that freaking corporate uniform, the walls he tried to build so hard came crashing down. Come on, Brandon, who are you kidding? The girl looked innocent but she's damn hot with those killer heels. It probably won't hurt that much. After all, it's just a game. It's just a game. Yes, it's just a game. Just one night. One night. It only takes one night to believe all the lies.

Welcome back to Sinclaire Academy where blood determines power, and power rules all. Rank, power, and influence are all determined by the Pyramid-the unshakable caste system that governs every creature within its walls. For generations, the rules have remained unchanged. Even the parents of today's students once walked the halls of the academy, ruling from the top of the social chain as the infamous Fearsome Four-vampires from the most powerful families: the Woodsens and the Sinclaires. Now, their children have returned to claim their place. But these heirs are not like those who came before them. They are Half-Bloods, beings with mixed blood forbidden and outlawed by the vampire Council. Born from unions the Pyramid was built to forbid. Wielding powerful bloodlines on one side and immeasurable abilities on the other, they are walking contradictions. Living threats. And the entire Council is watching. Will they rise to greatness? Or shatter the legacy their families fought to build? Cover Design by Louise De Ramos
