A curse runs in the Dyer family: whoever touches them dies. Only the person meant for them doesn't.

Lena Claire Aragonza's story.

Her side.

deceret (n.) latin word for "body to body" Czarina wants to commit suicide. Death is ready for her, she could feel it. Czarina, with her best friend, Sorcha, agreed that they would jump off a building together to end their shitty lives. Just when she was about to jump she felt a pair of strong hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her back to safety. But her best friend really jumped. She died. And Czarina is still alive. What the fuck is life when your betrayal costed your best friend her life? And she discovers that the guy who saved her is more dangerous than death per se.

She came to Edward's for their to-die-for milk teas. She never thought her secret trips to the store would bring her to a chance of a lifetime. Meet Shane Andrea Juarez, a freshman at Far Eastern University, who cannot survive a day without a cup of milk tea. She can consume three to five cups a day! She has always thought there's nothing wrong with it until she meets the health-buff Micah Rufus Alexander Contreras who make her remember the ill effects of drinking milk tea every second of her life. She finds him annoying to the point of almost hating him. Yes. Almost. Because no matter what she does, his light brown eyes keep on haunting her and ---weird, kilig! She shouldn't feel this way because she already has a boyfriend, a Dutch exchange student, Thijs Jansen. But she cannot just get rid of him from her system.

Namasukan si Lulu bilang maid sa lalaking bagong uwi mula Amerika, si Joselito. Masyadong tahimik ang lalaki at sa araw-araw ay ilang salita lang ang naging palitan nila. Pero sa paglipas ng mga araw ay naging mainit ang bawat pagsulyap nito sa kanya. Binuhay nito ang sidhing hindi niya alam na taglay niya at naghihintay lang na mapukaw. Higit sa mga salita ay mas nag-usap ang kanilang mga mata, ang bawat paggalaw... Hanggang sa hindi na nila naiwasan ang tukso. Nagtiwala siya sa dikta ng damdamin. Pero nagkamali siya. Hanggang pisikal lang pala ang relasyong gusto ng lalaki. Siguro nga, mali ang makinig sa dikta ng puso... Baka ang maging kapalit noon ay mismong buhay niya...

Mona likes Felix. Mona has liked Felix ever since she met him. She knew that he's way out of her league, but she still took a chance. Inunahan na niya ang hiya dahil lampas na sa kalendaryo ang edad niya. Pero kahit minamadali na ng mga magulang at may taning na ang mga obaryo niya, she still didn't settle down because she wants to be with someone that she loves. Si Felix na kaya iyon?

"Palagi na lang ba tayong ganito? Na pagkatapos ng ilang araw na pagsasama ay magkakahiwalay uli ng landas? Kailan tayo uli magkikita? After another six years? Don't you want a long, lasting affair?" Hindi lamang basta espesyal ang unang pagkakataong makarating ni Rachel sa ibang bansa. Sa Hong Kong, doon niya natagpuan ang lalaking nakapagpaibig sa inosente niyang puso. Wala siyang pakialam kung ilang araw pa lamang niyang kakilala si Andrew. She was in love with him. At tila wala nang iba pang mahalaga maliban doon. That was six years ago. Ngayon sa isang feature assignment niya sa isla ng Boracay, wala sa hinagap niyang makakatagpo niyang muli roon si Andrew. At sa pagkabigla niya at pagtataka, tila ito pa ang may ganang magalit sa kanya gayong sa sarili niya ay alam niyang siya ang nasaktan noong nakaraan. Why? At bukod sa tanong na iyon na gumugulo sa isipan niya ay ang realisasyong hindi napagbago ng nakalipas na anim na taon ang pag-ibig niya rito. Maybe she could let herself fall in love with him. Again.
