My life before was just like my name, Haven. Everything was peaceful, everything went my way, and I had everything that I needed. If I wanted something, I'd have it in a snap. I didn't need to move, make an effort, or work for it. I just needed my daddy's tiny rectangular card that might look insignificant but carried the world on its little sharp edges. Money might not equate to happiness, but it certainly made life easier for me. And yet a year later, from heaven I was dropped into my version of hell. Now, I'm standing in the aisle of a grocery store, wondering if I should just buy another batch of instant noodles because I don't want to waste money-money that I barely have to begin with-on food that will just end up being barely edible. Was that the hell I'm talking about? No. It's working unbelievably long hours just to get paid basically nothing, and wanting to buy food to eat because I haven't had one meal for the day, only to end up having a gun on my head. Oh, and before I forget-kidnapped! At a grocery store! My version of hell? It's the tattooed, hot-headed Italian and head of a secret criminal society, Allessio Cascella.

Sorcha Byrne and her twin used to love mythology when they were little. Their parents will tell them stories about the different gods and goddesses, and naturally, her twin brother's favorite is the King of the Gods, Zeus. But she was more drawn to Hestia. The goddess of the hearth, home, and family. While Hestia was most known for tending the hearth and ensuring the well-being of her community, that wasn't what made Sorcha interested in her. It was the fact that she's wise enough to keep to herself, stay in a quiet place, and save herself from all the dramas around her. She's the greatest unbothered queen, and Sorcha see herself in her. The only difference is that their hearths are far different from one another. She's like a frosty version of Hestia. Not that she's unfeeling or anything. She's just more comfortable with ignoring everything around her. Since she makes no effort to try to understand the world outside of her own, it wasn't surprising that it's now causing her problems. So here she is facing a dilemma since her no-nonsense attitude is causing problems at work. She was expecting to get fired, but the Dawson siblings are really good employers. As a compromise, they propose an interpersonal skills training just for her. She just need to take on a small special case where she will be shadowed to mentor someone in the ins and outs of her daily job. Wala naman sanang problema. It's supposed to be easy... except it wasn't.

Ninety days? Damn it. Someone just please burn me and sacrifice me to the gods and goddesses, or it would be Daze Henderson that I will offer as one!

Will Mavric top someone when he's the one who's falling? In a play where one had to win, both of them fell...hard.

1/3 of Lord Series "He's like a lightning. He will strike you once and it's either you'll be destructed or you will be marked. In my case, I am both.." Nagkasundo ang mga magulang ni Zeus at Juno na sila ang ipapakasal pagdating ng panahon. Ayaw iyon ni Juno dahil una, iritado siya masyado kay Zeus kahit wala pa itong ginagawa sa kaniya. Pangalawa, masyado itong babaero. Pangatlo, katulad sa paborito niyang greek mythology, si Zeus ay para kay Hera, hindi sa kaniya na nagmula ang pangalan sa reyna ng roman mythology. Kaya naman ang naging plano niya ay itulak ito sa bestfriend nito para matigil ang kasunduan. Pero habang tumatagal, iba na ang nangyayari. Then too late to realize that she was struck.
