She wanted her father to be happy, of course, but not with that evil step-mother wannabe. Unang pagkikita pa lang nila, masama na ang kutob niya sa babae. She wanted happiness for her father, but definitely not with that woman... But unfortunately, the witch won. She managed to get her father to throw Rory out. She was forced to stay in Manila for the meantime. She didn't know what to do in Manila! Wala naman doon ang mga kaibigan niya. Wala siyang pamilya. The only consolation she got was the condo unit from her father--well, at least hindi naman yata gusto ng tatay niya na sa kalsada siya matulog. She'd probably get a job or study again, she wasn't sure yet, but she's certain that everything would be fine... until she realized that her next door neighbor would be keeping her up all night with all the banging against the wall.

(Game Series # 3) Avery Brienne Eliseo never wanted the 'normal' life.

She knew that one day, she'd have to go back to save his ass. She needed to make friends--powerful friends. She needed people who would be of help when she needs protection.

And when she met Maven de Marco and learned that he's the most powerful one? She's determined to make him hers.

Being the only girl in a family full of guys, nasanay na siya na kung gusto niyang makuha, kailangan niyang pagtrabahuhan. And because of this, she grew up tough. She already accepted the fact that guys are just too intimidated to even give her a second glance. She'll always be too smart, too confident, too much for everyone. One day, she had this overwhelming feeling of sadness. She looked around and saw that everyone around her has someone by their side... Everyone has someone to embrace... Siya? Libro lang ang kayakap. She used to be fine with the idea of being alone... alone, not lonely. But not anymore. She needed someone to stop her from feeling so lonely.

Melvin Spencer Feledrico is the worst. He plays it well because he likes to play it dirty. Aleandra Margarette Estero knows this very well. She grew up with Spencer dahil kaibigan siya ng kuya nito, and ever since, she had always been in love with him. She knows she has to stop. Hindi si Spencer ang tipo ng lalaki na binibigyan ng ganoong atensyon. He is a playboy, and falling in love with him is like falling for his games and traps. Falling in love with him is like facing her own destruction. Pero isang pakiusap ang nakapagpabago ng lahat. Isang pakiusap na hindi niya natanggihan, at sa segundong napalapit siya ng tuluyan sa binata ay alam niyang wala na siyang lakas para lumayo. She fell for his games, and there was no turning back. But what if events don't turn out the way she wanted it to be? I am here for him, even just for his entertainment. Cover (c) Jessica Tejada
