"A woman's desire for revenge outlasts all her emotions." -Cyril Connolly

Lisa and her boss, Alessandro, agree to spite their exes by pretending to date, but things begin to backfire when fake feelings become real along the way. ***** For two years, Lisa Brooks worked as a secretary to the powerful self-made billionaire, Alessandro Russo. He hardly noticed her, and to him, she was nothing more than a co-worker who wore conservative clothes, a tight bun, and followed his orders. But when Lisa's heart gets broken by her first love and Alessandro starts to lose his willpower to avoid Gretchen (his ex-girlfriend and now-client's wife), they decide to help each other out by fake dating. I mean, how hard can it be to not fall in love? [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]] Cover designed by Ashley Santoro

Gabriel is the love of my life. He is the kind of man any other women would dream of having. He is my knight in shining armor. He is my Prince Charming. At least, I thought he was. Dahil nagbago ang pananaw ko the moment I saw his big brother, Jack. Na sa umpisa pa lang ay galit at ayaw na sa akin. Pero hindi ko maipaliwanag kung bakit naghuhurumintado ang buong sistema ko sa tuwing lumalapit siya sa akin, sa tuwing dumadampi ang balat niya sa akin. At kahit boses niya ay nagbibigay sa akin ng kiliti at kilabot. And when he kissed me, realization flooded me in complete astonishment. And that's the only time in my life that I wish I was single. But I can't afford to break Gab's heart......

"Forgetting a debt doesn't mean it's paid." But I didn't forget him. I knew I owed him a huge amount of money. He paid me even though he wasn't able to own me. Yes, I offered my virgin body to a stranger because I was that desperate. I was sixteen then and helpless. But that night, I knew from the depths of my heart, I won't be able to forget him. Six years later, I found myself in his territory. His eyes twinkled with recognition. That sexy grin I've always remembered about him. The way he ran his tongue along his lower lip as he roamed his gaze around my body, I know, it's payback time.....

Tomboy ako. Yun ang sabi nila. Dahil sa kilos lalake ako, at sa klase ng pananamit ko. Well, their opinions don't matter, really. Komportable ako sa ganitong ayos, may magagawa ba sila? And besides, mas gusto ko na ang ganito para naman walang magkamaling lalake na ligawan ako. Pero hindi ko maipaliwanag ang nadarama ko sa tuwing lumalapit sa akin si Ian, biglang kumakabog na lamang ang aking dibdib. At sa tuwing ngumingiti na siya, napapalunok ako. Natutulala ako. And one night, naibigay ko ang sarili ko sa kanya sa gitna ng kanyang kalasingan....pero ang hindi ko alam, pati puso ko ay naibigay ko na rin pala. Pero paano ko siya mapapaibig kung ang tingin lang niya sa akin ay nakakabatang kapatid?

"Another thing, promise me....." I swallowed the lump in my throat. My tears and his were falling, betraying our facade and showing the pain we were desperately trying to hide. I can do this. This is for him and for me. I took my hand from him and kissed him for the last time. Thanking him for making me happy and for giving me his child. "...promise me, that we'll never meet again..." That time, I let go of my fantasies, my memories and my happiness. I let go of my fairytale and my happily ever after.

How do you love someone that you can't help but hate? Is love enough to forget the pain? The hate? Will it ever be enough to be able to love the man who killed the only family you have left? Is it guilt or love? Whatever it is, it may not be enough to melt the hate that the past have left. Time may not always heal. Love may not best it all. Witness the heart breaking journey of JT Lyons and Beatrice Von Latier, if they are bound to be complete or broken apart forever.

"Maybe I'm too late to be your first, but right now I'm preparing my self to be your last"....Laverne smiled mischievously.
