Spiraling into despair and betrayed by those he thought were friends, Marcus finds himself rescued by Don Tremaine, a powerful Mafia boss, and his autistic daughter, Simone. Years prior, Marcus unknowingly saved Simone's life, and now she offers him a place in the Tremaine family-on the condition that he marries her. As Marcus navigates the dark world of loyalty, honor, and Mafia traditions, he struggles with Simone's impulsive nature, the weight of betrayal, and his transformation from a soft-hearted lover to a hardened, loyal protector. As Marcus embraces his new life, his bond with Simone grows despite their turbulent dynamic. Simone's unwavering loyalty contrasts with Nadia's betrayal, pushing Marcus to shed his former self and embrace the ruthless principles of the Tremaine family.

Betrayal, violence, and an unexpected attack force Marcus to make a choice-cling to his old values or protect his new family at any cost.

Isla Santiago likes her life clean, quiet, and perfectly color-coded, just like her design decks. After a messy breakup that left her doubting her worth (and her creative instincts), she's sworn off complicated projects and complicated men. But fate or maybe just a persistent project manager, pulls her into designing a quaint new café owned by Miguel Alvarez: laid-back, soft-spoken, and annoyingly sincere. He's not like her ex. He listens. He gives space. He says things like "gusto ko ng café na may lambing" with a straight face. Worst of all, he means it. As they build something warm and personal out of coffee, wood, and quiet afternoons, Isla finds herself breaking her own rules, laughing more, staying longer, feeling again. But just as she's learning how to breathe in this slower rhythm, her past knocks on the door. Literally. Rafael, the ex who ghosted her soul, suddenly reappears with unfinished business and old chemistry she never fully killed. Caught between what once broke her and what might heal her, Isla has to choose: stick to the plan or risk everything for a love without labels, but full of life.

You were cast to fall in love with him. On script, it was simple-stolen glances, soft confessions, a love story written to make millions believe. But off camera, he doesn't switch it off. His touch lingers too long. His silence says too much. And the way he looks at you... feels dangerously real. As your drama climbs the charts, so do the rumors. Fans dissect every scene. Paparazzi follow every step. And somewhere between scripted kisses and unscripted moments, you stop knowing what's acting-and what isn't. Because he doesn't confess in words. He writes songs. And every lyric sounds like you. But in an industry built on illusion, loving him might cost you everything. So the question isn't do you love him? It's-can you survive it when the world finds out?

She's spent the last two years erasing her name, her past, and the man who left her for dead. Survival is all she knows-until he walks in. Cassian Draz. Ex-black ops. Cold-blooded. Untouchable. He's not a billionaire in a suit or a mafia prince with a soft spot. He's the kind of man who ends wars and disappears before the bodies hit the ground. And now? He wants her. Not for love. Not for trust. Because she's leverage in a game she never agreed to play. He offers her protection, money, and a clean escape. The price? 100 nights under his control. No questions. No limits. No lies. Aria knows better. She's been used before. But Cassian doesn't touch her like a man who's in control. He touches her like a man trying not to lose it. Their tension is a slow knife. Their chemistry is loaded. And when the ghosts from both their pasts come clawing back-Aria will have to decide what matters more: Her freedom-or his life.

He walked away once. Now he is back. Thirty days under one roof...and neither of them plans to lose.
