Started: 09/09/2020 Ended: 10/07/2020 Solene Clemente was a typical Civil Engineering student who struggled to put up with her studies. Kung pwede ngang i-bake na lang ang napakaraming itlog sa test papers niya, ginawa niya na. At a young age, she experienced the harsh reality of life-poverty, abuse, and a broken family. But, as someone who could see the bright side of everything, she knew she could make it with only her mother and best friend, Duke Laurence Sanders, whom she secretly loved. Kahit pa naghihirap, basta kasama niya ang ina, kaya niya. Kahit pa madalas niyang hindi maintindihan ang lessons, ayos lang kasi may Duke naman na tuturuan siya. Na kahit gaano kalupit ang tadhana, patuloy siyang lumalaban sa buhay dahil may dalawang taong sumusuporta at nagmamahal sa kanya. She became too dependent on the love they could offer. But little did she know, like the sun she adored, she was destined to be alone.

Started: 04/27/2021 Ended: 08/24/2021 Ang hirap palang tumanda. Ang hirap magbayad ng bills. Ang hirap suportahan ng pamilyang akala ay isang milyon ang suweldo mo. Ang hirap ngumiti sa nanay na mataas ang tingin sa'yo pero hindi ka kayang ipagtanggol. Ang hirap tabihan sa hapagkainan ng tatay na pinag-uubusan mo ng pera pero hindi ka maalala. Ang hirap mag-abot ng tulong sa kapatid na baon sa utang. Ang hirap intindihin ng hipag na nakakapagpa-rebond pa kahit kapos na kapos na. Ang hirap pakisamahan ng bunsong halos ilahad ang mga palad tuwing makikita ka. Ang hirap ngitian ng mga taong tanong nang tanong kung bakit hindi ka pa nakakapag-asawa. Ang hirap humarap sa mundong isasampal sa'yo na mag-isa ka. Tulong, bigay, utang. Isang iling mo lang, madamot ka na. Kasama mo sila kapag may maibibigay ka, pero hindi mo sila mahahanap kapag wala na. Ikaw ang kakayod, sila ang tutuka. Ikaw ang iiyak sa pagod, sila ang magtatamasa. Iyon ang summary ng buhay ko. Sobra-sobra ang naririnig na paghingi, kulang na kulang ang naririnig na pasasalamat. Sobra-sobra ang pagpapasensya, kulang na kulang ang natatanggap na pagpapahalaga. Sobra-sobra ang binabayaran, kulang na kulang sa kasiyahan. Kaya nang dumating sa buhay ko ang nag-iisang lalaking hindi ako nakita bilang naglalakad na alkansya, ang nag-iisang lalaking nakinig sa mahabang listahan ko ng problema, ang nag-iisang lalaking nagbigay sa akin ng kakaibang saya, ipinangako ko sa sarili na sa gitna ng hirap ng pagtanda, magtitiis ako basta't siya ang kasama. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay pagtalikod sa minahal na pamilya. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay paglaban sa mundong pinatatakbo ng kapangyarihan at pera. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay ang pagdurusa't pag-iisa. Siya ang ginhawa, pahinga, at kasiyahan ko. Dumating man ang araw na tanaw ko na ang dulo. Dumating man ang araw na wala na kaming sagot sa lahat ng bakit at paano. Dumating man ang araw na pareho na kaming talo.

Seven years ago... I was his stalker. Three years ago... I was his wife. Two years ago... I was his ex-wife. Simula nang hiniwalayan niya ako ay nagkaleche-leche na rin ang buhay ko. Namatay si mommy dahil sa cancer, nalugi ang kompanya ni daddy at dahil sa sobrang hiya, nagpakamatay siya kaya naiwan sa akin ang responsibilidad na bayaran ang natirang utang niya sa banko. Kung dati akong princessa, ngayon ay naghihirap na. Lahat atang pweding racket ay gagawin ko mabayaran ko lang ang utang sa banko. I am a baker on weekdays, dance instructor on Saturdays at dance performer on Friday and Saturday nights. Pero sa kasamaang palad, bumalik ang ex-husband ko kaya lalong gumulo ang buhay ko. He owned the restaurant I worked with kaya nagawa niyang i-assign ako bilang personal chef niya as well as personal assistant. Binayaran niya rin ang dance studio kung saan ako nagtratrabaho and hired me as his personal dance instructor. He hired me as his personal dance instructor for the whole day on Saturdays. Pati na rin ang trabaho ko bilang performer ay nagawan niya ng paraan. He hired me as his exclusive entertainer every Friday at Saturday nights. Do you think that is already worse? The worst thing is - binayaran niya ang utang namin sa banko so I am now obliged to pay him based on his terms.

R-18| Mature Content Inside| Not suited for readers below 18| Read at your own expense| I took her innocence,I paid her. She's nothing but a cheap whore in a bar. Siya man ang lalaking nakauna dito ay wala parin itong ipinagkaiba sa mga babaeng mabababa ang uri. But why does her innocent tantalizing eyes, her scent, her soft skin, her curvaceous body, her hotness from within haunt him over the years. She's the only woman who can satisfy his needs. She became his obsession. "She's nothing to me!!" giit niya. Pero bakit hindi niya nagustohan ang kinahantongan nang buhay nito. Bakit gusto niyang sakalin ang iba't-ibang DOM na kasama nito. Bakit gusto niyang pumatay nang makitang may ibang nakahawak dito. At bakit inaalok niya itong maging asawa niya?. Nahihibang na talaga siya.

Isang gabi lang. Pero sapat na para magbago ang lahat. Nina thought she had it all-career, comfort, and a relationship na matagal na niyang pinanghawakan. Everything seemed perfect... until dumating siya. The man with those piercing eyes, a smile that disarmed her logic, and a presence that shook her carefully built world. Cliché? Maybe. Pero hindi na ito rom-com sa sinehan-ito, buhay na niya. Kahit pa may ibang taong laman ng kanyang mga litrato at alaala, bakit nga ba si Iñigo ang laman ng puso niya gabi-gabi? Bakit siya ang naiisip niya kapag mag-isa na lang siya sa kwarto, habang tahimik ang mundo? Bakit siya ang gusto niyang makita pagkagising? His eyes-those intense, magnetic eyes-glimmered like cut diamonds, stealing every rational thought she had. His strong, perfectly built frame, parang knight in modern armor, always ready to catch her-figuratively and literally. He was a gentleman in every sense of the word. Calm. Confident. At may tinig na parang kayang tunawin ang lahat ng ingay sa paligid. Pero kapag hinahalikan niya si Nina, wala nang tahimik. Fireworks. The way his lips skimmed across her jaw, the electric pull when he crushed his lips against hers-it was more than just a kiss. It was chaos and comfort all at once. At dun niya narealize... She wasn't just drawn to him. She was falling. Hard. At habang pinipilit niyang itanggi, her body already betrayed her. Her heart? Matagal nang sumuko. Uh-oh. Nina could smell it. This isn't just attraction. This... is trouble. But the kind that makes you want to risk it all
