Sydney James Wantirano is a woman of contrasts. With a fiery, untamable spirit and unyielding principles, she commands respect and admiration. Yet, behind this formidable exterior lies a tender heart that remains devoted to her parents, despite their harsh treatment and the absence of familial love. Her efforts to honor and make them proud are both a testament to her resilience and a source of hidden pain. Everything changes one fateful night when Sydney meets Xarius-a charming, effervescent man who shatters her rigid world. His presence awakens something in her that she never knew she was missing. For the first time, Sydney feels truly at home, valued, and loved-experiences she thought were forever beyond her reach. The irony of finding solace in someone so different from herself only deepens the impact of their connection. But such profound change comes at a cost. Sydney is faced with an impossible choice: between embracing the happiness Xarius offers and fulfilling her obligations to those who have always been her burden. Torn between two conflicting paths, she must decide whether to pay the price for her newfound joy or abandon it to maintain her old responsibilities. Will Sydney find a way to navigate these treacherous waters, or will she escape into the safety of the familiar, leaving behind the twisted wildlands of her heart?

"Come on wifey. Ngumiti ka na diyan." Zach said to cheer me up pero walang effect e. "Sige na. I love you. I love you. I love you." "I love you too. And sorry.." I said. "It's nothing wifey. Come on let's dance." "Here?" "Why not? Don't you find it romantic?" He asked. "I do. Pero wala tayong tugtog." "Come on I'll sing a song for you." Sabi niya tsaka ipinalibot ang mga bisig niya sa bewang ko. Ipinulupot ko naman ang braso ko sa leeg niya. Then we started swaying while he sings. May mas roromantic pa ba sa ginagawa namin? Dancing in a hot air balloon? This is one of the most romantic thing to do. How can I be so blessed? Blessed to have a husband like him? Thank you Lord God for giving me such a wonderful, responsible, sweetest ever, and handsome partner. I am very proud to say that, I'm officialy MARRIED TO A MAFIA BOSS No period...

If you ever thought that you already have that perfect love story you've always dreamed of, think again. Everything in this world is not what it seems to be. Everything's twisted, including your story.

A (not-so) hopeless romantic writer. A weird (not-so-much of a) stranger. A lot of (denying) feelings in between. A (continuation of the online) connection that ends on 11 / 23.
