(Whisky Bottle Series # 1) Mostly because of her upbringing, Erisette Veraño grew up painfully empty on the aspect of self-esteem.

Anya Tejero was forced to return to a place she chose to forget for years, a remote town where her grandparents' old farm was located. Ten years ago, she committed the most stupid and impulsive decision in her life. She secretly married Lander Rafael Valera, a farm owner's grandson whom she only dated for two months. Blinded by her first love, she dreamed of living with him forever. But her fantasies were shattered into pieces when she caught him cheating on her on their honeymoon night. After a decade, she had to find him again because of the annulment she neglected to process for the longest time. She wanted to revoke her married status before leaving to France where she was planning to settle for good. However, Lander wouldn't sign the papers so easily. He had too many conditions and demands. She needed to put up with his stubbornness and continuous ego tripping. Never in her wildest dream that the period she amounted to erase her bad past would actually result in falling in love to her estranged husband all over again.

Ever since Sari's sister married the seemingly perfect man, she had dreamt of her own happily ever after. Gusto niya rin ng gwapo, mayaman, at gwapo na papakasalan. She'd settle for nothing less. And when she set her eyes on Cohen Isaac Gomez de Liaño... she knew that she'd stop at nothing to get him to notice her.

Genesis thought she already found the love of her life. Bakit naman kasi hindi? They've been together for so long that she couldn't remember a time when she didn't know him. Akala niya sila na talaga. Malaki ang tiwala niya. She even put her life and dreams on pause para sa kanya... innocently believing that for him, she's the end game, too. Mali pala siya. But then she met Parker... who's probably the most broken soul she's ever met. Against better judgment, she fell for him. She was hoping that he'd fall for her too. She did everything right... or at least she thought she did. Pero mali na naman pala siya. Kailan ba siya sasaya? Just this once... sana naman.

(Game Series # 2) Aurora Marie Floresca just wanted to escape their house. Ever since her father re-married, palagi na silang nag-aaway dalawa. 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.

And it is thinking that you don't deserve it. You don't deserve reciprocated feelings. Because you also grew up with the thought that you don't deserve the beautiful things.
