Mahirap kalaban ang nakaraan. Bukod sa hindi na mababalikan, nakatatak na rin ito sa kasaysayan. They say history speaks for itself. It sparks a preview of the present and a foretaste of the future. Hindi lang pag-asa ang hatid nito kundi pati takot at pangamba. Davion Christoffer Laygo is the player in Calle Nueva. Hindi lang pagdating sa video games kundi pati sa mga kababaihan. Pinakamatinik sa Engineering Department. He's got the looks, the body, and the personality to swoon every girl's heart. As faithfulness and loyalty get tested in love, would the past still prevail and hinder what's ahead of time?

Saying no is the constant dilemma of people with the biggest hearts. To them, refusing equates to rejecting. They tend to keep on doing favors until it's too much. Ngunit kailan nga ba masasabi kung sobra na? Einav Jynette R. Leyva is the sweetest soul in Calle Nueva. A people's person. A good mixer. A social butterfly that can easily form meaningful connection with anyone. Madali niyang nakukuha ang loob ng sinuman dahil sa mga likas na katangiang taglay niya. Compassionate, Warm, and Humane. She's everyone's favorite person. Every guy's dream girl. Every parent's ideal daughter-in-law. She's too caring. Too thoughtful. Too expressive. Pero ika nga sa kasabihan... ang anumang sobra ay masama.

Taking risk is never easy. The guarantee we get by staying inside our comfort zone is both addicting and tricky. Minsan akala mo matapang ka na dahil marami ka nang pinagdaanan. Yun pala, hindi mo pa nahaharap ang tunay na laban. Calcifer M. Revano is the ball of sunshine in Calle Nueva. He lives free and easy. Adventurous, spontaneous, and game for anything. He can't last a day without having fun. Para sa kanya, mas mahalaga ang ngayon kaysa sa bukas. But what if he crosses path with someone who lives her life differently? Kabaliktaran ng kanya. Iba sa lahat ng nakilala. Walls start crumbling. Realities began unleashing. Sa pagitan nilang dalawa, sino nga ba ang duwag at sino ang hindi?

Masarap talaga ang bawal. Lalo na kung araw-araw kang sinusubok ng tadhana. The more forbidden it is, the greater the urge to have it yourself. Kay daling sabihing iwasan na lang. Ngunit kung sayo na mismo hinain, makakatanggi ka pa ba? Achelous Dwayne R. Leyva is the youngest in Calle Nueva. He's smart, athletic, and responsible. Gwapo pero suplado. Uptight personality never suited anyone better than him. It's part of his charms. Ayos na sana. Perpekto na ang lahat. He got too much of everything. Too fit, too attractive, too gentle- but sadly... too young for the one he likes.

"Matandang Mayamang Maagang Mamamatay." That's what the retired Lieutenant and multi-billionaire Frederick San Lorenzo is known for. Despite his wealth, he still has a huge problem. At iyon ay ang karapat dapat na tagapagmana ng kaniyang yaman kapag siya ay pumanaw na. He's a widower. And has no child. Kaya naman upang hindi masayang ang kaniyang mga naipundar...He conducted a search for a deserving heir. But he has his own strict rule. And they're only three, so don't worry. First, must be an unbeatable couple: so if you are single, you're out. Second, you two will be living in his mansion for a year to test your loyalty as a couple. Third, the woman shall not be pregnant during her stay in his mansion. Meanwhile... On the other side of the world where problematic people exist, there are two human beings who're in a thirst for money. Giyu De La Fonte, a man who's always in a pickle, banned from spending money. Narra Bougainvillea, very inquisitive about how rich men's lives feels like. For the sake of the benefits they'd get, they agreed to pretend just so they'd get qualified for the old Lieutenant's search for heir. All set. However, one thing they've not prepared themselves for is...Will they pass the challenge? Especially, the third rule despite Giyu's naughtiness? #AIAPWP

Kio Soledad de Merced always kept his life quiet and private. He never wanted anything flashy and grand. Attention and spotlight were the two things he never wanted to have. Calm and easy, that's how he preferred his life. Shiloh Lumiere Bendia's life was far from what he wanted, she was born for the spotlight. Living under the scrutinizing eyes of the world, Lumiere's life consists of cameras and flashes following her whenever she moves. The world gravitates around her, and everyone who sees her is drawn to her light, including him. The moment he saw her on that stage with the spotlight shining on her, he knew he would spend his whole life admiring her from afar. But with the twist of fate and a little luck, his fate might have changed. A secret moment. A lingering stare. Quick stolen moments behind the camera that no one knows about. But to what extent can they sacrifice for a losing battle they knew they would never win? To love is to risk. To risk requires courage and courage is only found in places we're too scared to take. ---- Date Started: March 2025 Date Finished: June 15, 2025
