Almost was never enough. The most is where it all lies; the second is no different from losers. If you want to be chosen, be the best among the options-a sweet rule to every test, a bitter reality Eiah was raised in. She gives everything a hard try, even though she can't grasp it all just right. Maybe she was chasing the wrong things. Maybe she needs to work harder. Maybe she's really... almost there. Whatever it is, she's determined to prove her father she's worthy of her name-but heck, not to the point of marriage! That's why, when he demanded that she get engaged while still in college, she had to 'call a friend', Chase, an accounting junior who has kissed girls everywhere. They had to level up their call sign. From bes to babe, will fake couple rings work? Or was it, again, just another almost? Almost the right move; apparently not the best. Maybe they should've just sat with their friendship bracelets rather than become almost too-almost what they aren't meant to be, almost everything they could no longer be.

It has always been a dream for Ammy to live prosperously. Worse luck, she was not born with a silver spoon. She has to endure the mud on her feet as she chases her ambitions. Notwithstanding, it did not stop her. She has set her goals and will go the extra mile to get what she aims for her and her mother. She excels in almost everything that she tries and rarely did she place second in competitions; in games. She adheres to her belief that success can only be attained through continuous actions and victory thus she does not let anyone steal her place. Playful kismet, a big threat comes her way. Conrad-a well-born son from an affluent family of Suarezes. He can do anything as great as her, bringing her plans into a blur. Two players, one game. There is only one seat for the victor, one winner in every play. Who will win and who will lose . . . a game with kismet? Ended : October 21, 2022

Magkapatid na halos ang turing nina Anika Laviste at Duke Braganza sa isa't-isa. Ngunit nagbago ang lahat nang mamagitan ang isang mapusok na sandali sa kanila nang minsang nalasing si Anika at nakalimot siya. To spare her from his debauchery, Duke avoided Anika - despite knowing she needed him. Heart-broken and her world in shambles, naglahong parang bula ang dalaga. Makalipas ang sampung taon, muling nagbalik si Anika -- ibang-iba na sa dati niyang nakilala. Despite the changes and the years that separated them, Duke had never forgotten the taste of her. Sa pagkakataong ito, hindi lang tikim ang hangad niya. Itutuloy niya ang naudlot na pag-angkin sa dalaga.

[ARDENT SERIES #1] This a dangerous kind of love. A love that is like a fire that can't be ceased and kept on spreading around your heart until you finally burnt down into powders of ash.
