Beneath a broken mask lies the truth behind the façade, and while masks can conceal pain, they cannot mend wounds. In the end, no mask was worth the torture. However, to Midnight Velasquez, who was forced to wear a mask since he was young, the mask hiding his true face was a façade he was ready to keep for a lifetime. However, what occurs when the mask begins to break, revealing the dreadful things concealed beneath it? Would he have the courage to confront his true self reflected in the mirror, or would the remnants of his broken mask consume him and drag him into the depths of despair? With a broken mask, a battered body and a weary soul, Midnight couldn't help pondering... is this life worth living for? CECELIB | C.C.

NOTE: SPG/R-R18 Dahil sa isang kasinungalingan, nagawang akitin ni Lockett si Creed Santillana, isang sikat na Phiotographer. At dahil din sa kasinungalingan iyon, naangkin siya ng binata. Akala ni Lockett ay walang halaga ang nangyari sa kanila ni Creed dahil kinaumagahan pagkatapos siya nitong angkinin, nag-offer ito ng 'friendship'. Tinawanan niya ang friendship na ini-o-offer nito. It's absurd! Para sa kanya, isa iyong kalokohan at alam niya sa sarili niya na hindi isang kaibigan ang pagtingin niya sa binata. From friendship, he offered her to be his lover. Sino siya para tanggihan ang offer na iyon, lalo na kung nasa kalagitnaan sila ng mainit na pagtatalik habang minumungkahi nitong maging lover siya nito. Hindi akalain ni Lockett na mas lalalim pa relasyon nila ni Creed. Kahit walang label ang relasyon nila, masaya siya. Nararamdaman niyang may puwang siya sa puso nito at ganoon din naman ito sa puso niya. And then one day, her illness decided to be the antagonist of their love story. She has to leave for his sake. Ang hindi niya inakala na sa pag-alis niya ay kasabay niyon ang pagkawala ng memorya niya. At sa pagbabalik ni Lockett, mapapatunayan kaya ni Creed na totoo ang kasabihang 'the heart sees what the eyes can't'?

Xiara Wriella Clemente and Simon Chromewell's Story "S-sir, uuwi na nga po pala ako. Kung may ipapagawa pa po kayo eh tatapusin ko na lang po bukas. Ingat po." tumalikod na ako pakasabi ko non pero napasinghap ako ng maramdaman ko ang mga bisig niya sa beywang ko at idinantay ang noo niya sa balikat ko. Napahawak naman ako sa aking dibdib dahil pakiramdam ko, ano mang oras ay lalabas na ang puso ko sa sobrang kaba. Naramdaman ko na lang na iniharap niya ako sa kanya at sumubsob sa leeg ko. Ramdam ko tuloy ang hininga niya roon na nakapagbibigay ng kakaibang init sa katawan ko. Hindi pwede na lagi na lang ganito. Sapat na ang mga araw na pagpapakagaga ako. Ayoko na maging marupok pagdating sa kanya. "S-sir.. U-uuwi na po kasi ako eh.." naiilang na wika ko kaya lalo lamang ako nitong hinapit. Ayoko talaga ng nararamdaman ko. "I want you to stay with me, Xiara. I need you." madamdaming pahayag nito na akala mo ay isang musmos na nawalan ng candy. Napabuntong hininga ako. Pang ilang beses na nga ba ito sa buong araw? Hindi ko siya matiis pero ayoko na. Ayaw ko na magpakatanga eh. Sapat na masaktan ako sa huling mga sandali dahil baka wala ng matira sa akin. "Pasensya na po pero kailangan ko na pong umalis." mahinang sambit ko at pwersahang kumawala sa kanya. Written by: sachtych
