WARNING: SPG | Mature Content | R-18 All she was expecting from him was a grant to support her education; little did she know that he would give her more. ✼━━━━━━━━━━━━✼ The 20-year-old student, Cassandra del Rosario, has no other objectives in life but two things: (1) to be liberated from the undesired degree program, and (2) to release her family from the curse of poverty. For Lorenzo Castillo, the 27-year-old new mayor of the town of Hope, or "Pueblo de Esperanza", nothing is important to him but two things: (1) to be disengaged from his father's will and (2) to execute the scheme that was developed by his resentful past. When their paths met, the two could not deny the curiosity and interest that they felt for each other. However, due to their status in life- Cassandra as a scholar and Lorenzo as a mayor- their sudden relationship became furtive. But one thing is undoubtedly true: no secret can be kept forever. Everything will be disclosed, and everyone will be opposed to their stealthy affair. For Cassandra, Lorenzo was the man who captured her heart; for Lorenzo, Cassandra was nothing more than a knick-knack for the little game he wanted to perform. Cassandra's heart shattered to pieces upon learning all the secrets that were kept from her. Lorenzo will feel that he should be over the moon as he finally accomplished his long-awaited plan, but why did everything he did seem to backfire on him? Separated paths. Shattered trusts. Broken hearts. Is love really worth fighting for? © 𝑩𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒕𝒉, 2019 *This novel is unedited.

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.
