Started: 11/20/2020 Ended: 01/29/2021 How far would you go for someone? How many hailstorms and dark clouds would you endure? How many falling stars would you wait for to make a single wish come true? For Reese Deborah Madrid, the sky was the limit. She was used to having whatever she wanted. Clothes? Shoes? Jewelry? Name it. She could get it without putting in so much effort. So, when she hoped for another shot of love with her ex-boyfriend, she was ready to sacrifice everything to win him back. Even if that meant she had to look stupid and desperate. Even that meant she had to suffer through the pain of watching him be disgusted by her. Even if that meant she had to deal with his harsh words and apathy. She did everything in her power to go back into his arms. She stood up to the rain that soaked her and the sun that burned her skin. She waited from daybreak to nightfall, hoping that he would eventually fall back in love with her. She thought she was getting there. She felt like she'd made it. But then, in the world where she could be anything, she lost everything in the name of her love for him. Because much like the sky, Harvin Rouge Foster was only meant to be loved from afar.

Filthy Rich Club Series #5 Dr. Lucent Lotus Amourteirre thought her life was simple. She ran a luxurious veterinary clinic in the heart of Makati, cared for everything from spoiled shih tzus to abandoned strays, and lived peacefully in the penthouse above her family's legacy building, Le Sanctuaire. Until one rainy night, when a wounded black panther collapsed at her glass doors. Driven by instinct and compassion, Lucent saved the animal-unaware it belonged to Raphael Le Michaelis Guillermes, a stoic, notorious mafia boss whose moral code was as sharp as his suits: never harm the innocent. Their worlds collided in gunfire and wit, in chaos and sarcasm. She was a doctor of beasts; he was a master of shadows. He dealt in power and silence; she disarmed him with sass and laughter. But saving his panther pulled her into his world-a world of loyalty, danger, and unspoken rules, where love became both a weapon and a refuge. From Manila to Spain, from bullet wounds to whispered vows under the moonlight, Lucent and Raphael's unlikely bond grew into something neither of them saw coming. Because sometimes, the knight doesn't come in shining armor. Sometimes, he arrives in a tuxedo-carrying a gun, a secret, and a heart that only one woman could tame.
