UNEDITED UNEDITED UNEDITED Kinsella Ava Rowne is into dancing. She loves to complement her fast and swift movements with speedy and upbeat music. Hiphop to be exact. She has a lot of potential and talent but there's a snake pit. She came from a big, old, rich family. Her family's business and assets are so huge she merely lose interest to it. She thinks it's so bland and boring. Her parents will always drown themselves with their businesses. They are so perfectionist. Always want things to go with the plan accordingly, no smudge and mistakes. As their daughter, they also want Kinsella to be perfect. They want her to grow up with gracefulness, elegance and sophistication surrounding her. Poise, posture, proper choice of words and formal manners are very important inside their mansion and wherever they go. Kinsella hates it very much. She feel suffocated. She feel like a dog who always needs to follow and gratify it's master's commands. She hate that since her childhood, they forced her to study on a musical and piano class. Her parents doesn't agree with her hiphop dancing. It doesn't suit their taste and it's staining her supposedly elegant and decent demeanor. Even if she's not into instruments, she forced herself to play and learn the piano in where she met the gorgeous and popular Paesyn Holeary.

Passion Crown is the eldest of the three Crown sisters. She was the responsible one, control freak, and the one who always calculate all the possibilities. Importante kasi para sa kaniya 'yon para sa kaligtasan nilang magkakapatid. So they all can keep their public world away from their deepest secret. Pero hindi pala madali ang lahat. Lalo na ng makilala niya ang lalaking gugulo sa buhay na meron siya. Suddenly she found her two worlds overlapping when one night...a miscalculation happens involving her and the certified megalomaniac playboy, Arc Falcon.

For Luna Alondra Dawson, marriage is a word so simple but holds so much weight. Some people are scared of it, some don't care much about it, for some it's just a paper, while there are those that just use it as a form of agreement, and there are those that are like her who consider it a dream. The happily ever after. She has goals other than marriage. She made sure that she will check off every goal she has on her list. She made a name for herself. She was known for being the indomitable and tenacious Luna Alondra Dawson. Pero sa haba ng listahan na meron siya at sa dami niyang nalagyan ng marka sa listahan na iyon, iisa lang talaga ang nananatiling mailap sa kaniya. She persisted. She didn't gave up. Until he became hers. His ring on her finger, his name as hers. Going home and seeing their shoes neatly arranged side by side. His mug on the coffee table, his toothbrush next to her own, and their pillows on the bed they share. That should be it, right? But things aren't as they seem. Because they have a secret. A secret that she don't want anyone to uncover. Until it's the right time. Until she's ready to set it free.

Tiara Millicent Silvano is considered as one of the most famous and influential prima ballerinas. She was at the top. There was no place to go. There was nothing more to reach for. Control, which had been the power she yielded from a very young age, became the sword pointed at her neck. She was exhausted, ragged to the bones. She was tired of how the world sees her. Like a wind-up music box with a ballerina that doesn't stop dancing. A beautiful doll that only exist to be admired. Until it was him who was watching her. Domino Dawson. He doesn't look at her like an object of fascination, but rather, it feels like he couldn't care any less if she broke her knees and stopped dancing. It's like he doesn't care if she's out of rhythm, if she doesn't smile and wave, or if she act a little unhinged and unbalanced. He doesn't see her pretense of perfection; what he sees is the brokenness, the cracks, and the edges... the real her that even she can't recognize at times.

Circe Isle Andino is one of the most decorated professional surfer. Surfing is her life. During the day, she spent hours and hours riding the waves, and at night she lay contented on her bed sleeping peacefully. There's nothing she want more in her life. Basic needs of a human? That's not a problem to her. She has food and water... and sex? She can purchase a battery operated boyfriend anytime she wants to. Sex is just a cliché thing for her. Something that people loves to hype up. But one drunken night, she realized how wrong she was. One night that the ocean couldn't take away her misery, the stranger drown them by engulfing her in his arms. Just for one night. Because when the morning came, she was gone. He doesn't need the hassle of the morning after of a one night stand, and she don't need to remember the night of her reckless mistake. She just need to go back to her life as if nothing happened. It's not like one night could change her life, right? She was wrong. Life is not that easy. Not when she's looking at two positive lines that would change her life completely.

People call Ember Nile Calderon a lot of things. Sometimes it's the Huntress, Queen of Arrows, the Archeress, or the Lonely Wolf. Those she don't mind. After all, she's one of the most decorated archers of her time. She's a two-time defending champion for Archery World Cup and World Archery Championships for recurve and compound, and she's also a two-time Olympic gold medalist. But lately, some of the names she's being called are getting on her nerves. The NBSB, the frigid snob, the unlikable bitch, the passionless princess, the woman who'll end up marrying her arrow since it's the only "stick" that she will ever see in her life. The media and the people keep on branding her as an undesirable woman. It's infuriating but she doesn't care, however, her agent and her sponsors do. "Dear universe, ang unang lalaking lalapit sa akin ngayong gabi ay hahalikan ko." Alcohol and frustration is not a good combination. In a poor-lit bar, with drinks that are too many to count, she found herself challenging destiny. Just for one night of fun. But apparently the man that she just met is bound to cross her path again, because Trace Dawson has his own deal with the universe. "Dear universe, ang susunod na babaeng hahalikan ko ay si The One na."

Being on top is second nature for the renowned supermodel, Mireia Aguero. She literally needed to be on top to get where she is now. On top of a bed? Sports car? Billiard table? Kitchen counter? Mini bar? Name it. Her world expanded in the same way that her wardrobe scaled up. Mireia Aguero became the name that anyone in the industry recognized. But fame comes with risks. The fashion industry was suddenly rattled by the death of a model. It opened questions that led to more sinister speculations. Her best friend hired a bodyguard for her. Axel Dawson. The sweet boy that she knew years ago. In her world, the spotlights are illuminating her path, the runway is her domain, the extravagant dresses are her armor, and with her face made up... she conquer the world. If at the end of the day, she take down the shield, sheath away her protection with her war paint cleaned off her, leaving her bare and unadorned... it won't be in a way that he would see. Because he might be the same boy inside the man that he is now, but she is no longer the girl that she once was. Not anymore.
