Kristine Series 23 - Wild Enchantment Adriana's new stepmother considered her an excess baggage. Through cunning manipulation, ipinaubaya siya nito sa pinsan nito-filthy rich Jordan Atienza. He was tall, dark, and definitely-No, hindi niya ia-apply rito ang salitang "handsome." "Handsome" was for movie stars and too tame to be applied to Jordan. And Jordan was anything but tame. He was a beast! Hitler personified. At kinasusuklaman ito ni Adriana sa akusasyong sisirain niya ang pagsasama ng daddy niya at ng bagong asawa nito. Now Adriana considered herself Cinderella with a wicked stepmother, one wicked stepsister (sa katauhan ng pinsan niya). At ang bahay ni Jordan bilang prison tower niya. (Oh, that's Rapunzel's!). Anyway, would Jordan qualify as her Prince Charming? Hmp. Duda siya roon. Beast, baka pa. (Oh, dear, she was really mixing up her fairy tales!)

Bernard. Ibinigay niya ang pangalan at pag-ibig sa iisang babae. And blamed himself that she died. Nawalan ng direksiyon ang buhay niya and he thought that Diana could bring back his sanity. Diana. Pinakasalan niya si Bernard dahil mahal niya ito, dahil akala niya ay kaya niyang tanggapin na kalahati ng puso nito ay hindi kanya. And she was so wrong. Lance. He fell in love with a woman whose exotic beauty could make the gods swoon. She had coal-black eyes which he thought held so many passionate mysteries. The Black Diamond. Para sa kanya, iisa lang ang kahulugan ng buhay-si Bernard. She died and lived again for only one man. Feel the pain, the heartaches, the anguish and the magical love that defied time and death.

When Lance Navarro whispered "I do..." Erika Rose saw hatred and contempt in his eyes. Pero hindi doon natapos ang galit ng bunsong lalaki ni Franco Navarro. Minutes after the forced wedding, dinala siya nito sa kaibigang tattoo artist and to her horror, Lance branded her for life. At bago siya nawalan ng malay, she saw cruelty imprinted in his eyes.

"There's a falling star!" bulalas ni Mirabelle, saka mabilis na tumayo at mula sa likuran ni Karl ay isinuksok ang dalawang kamay sa bulsa ng shorts nito. "Ano'ng ginagawa mo?" Karl was stunned. "Making a wish," she answered softly, her cheeks against his back, her eyes closed. Hindi magawa ni Karl na magsalita. Nasasamyo niya ang hininga ng estranghera, like a soft wind brushing his ear. Her breasts on his back radiated warmth. Ang mga kamay nito sa loob ng mga bulsa ng shorts niya ay ilang pulgada na lang mula sa hindi nararapat. And they were in the middle of the ocean, on a starry night, stranded on her fishing boat!

Nagawang paghiwalayin ni Leon Fortalejo sina Jewel at Bernard noong una. Nagkaroon ng relasyon si Bernard kay Sandra kaya umalis si Jewel patungong Amerika with a broken heart.

Pero taglay ni Leon Fortalejo ang lihim ng pagkatao ni Bernard na nakatakdang sumira sa pag-ibig ng dalawa. Magtagumpay kaya si Leon sa ikalawang pagkakataon?

"Hindi lahat ng nagpapakasal ay nag-iibigan, Diana. I have loved a woman once, perhaps love her still. But I broke to pieces when she died. Hindi ko na gustong maranasan pa ang pangyayaring iyon. I will marry you because I desire you at dahil kailangan ko ng asawa," walang emosyong sabi ni Bernard. Hindi kailanman itinanggi ni Bernard na hanggang sa mga sandaling iyon ay mahal nito si Jewel. Pero inalok nito ng kasal si Diana nang dahil lang sa physical attraction nila sa isa't isa. Walang emotional attachment. Ano ang gagawin ni Diana? Nahahati siya sa pagitan ng panganib na nakabadya sa kanya at sa pag-ibig niya kay Bernard.

Alaina loved and adored Nick mula pa nang unang makita ang lalaki. Pero nanatiling isang panaginip lamang iyon.

Muntik nang mabundol ni Aidan ng sasakyan ang isang babaeng basta na lang tumawid sa kalsada. Dinala niya ito sa ospital and found out that she couldn't remember anything about herself, maliban sa sariling pangalan-Samantha. She was a looker even without makeup, and gorgeous kahit roba ng ospital ang suot. And Aidan had this unwanted feeling of protecting her and he hated himself for that. Dahil kung ang karanasan niya sa mga babae ang pag-uusapan, he was a lousy judge of character. He easily fell for a vulnerable act. At si Samantha'y gayon. Fragile, vulnerable... and very much terrified. Terrified? Why? He intended to know.
