"Walang silbi. Palamunin. Sana hindi ka na lang niluwal sa mundo!"

Iyan ang mga salitang pinakain sa kaniya ng stepmother at lola niya mula pagkabata. Naging suwail at matigas ang ulo ni Jemima kaya wala siyang ibang kaibigan liban sa nag-iisa niyang kababata. 

Nang mamatay ang lola niya ay pinamana sa kaniya ang malawak na lupain. Hindi ito nagustuhan ng stepmother niya kaya mas lalong naging marahas ang salitang binabato sa kaniya pero immune na siya, kaya wala siyang pakialam. 

Liban na lang nang inuwi ng stepmother niya ang anak nito sa unang asawa. Ni hindi man lang tumutol ang Papa niya bagkus mas minahal nito ang stepsister niyang may dalawang mukha. Lahat na lang ng meron siya ay gusto nitong makuha. Pati sa school ay naging "star of the show" ang stepsister niya. 

Well, isang cinderella story naman kasi ang buhay ni Jemima. Ang pinagkaiba lang, mabait si Cinderella habang si Jemima naman ay hindi.

Based on James 3:8 "But no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison."

Cyra Lim has been secretly in love with Eli Dasilva for as long as they've been best friends. One problem: Eli is a playboy, and Cyra has resigned herself to just being his best friend...even if it breaks her heart. *** Always the friend, never the girl. For Cyra, being in love with her longtime best friend is heartache wrapped in a pretty package. Having witnessed all of Eli's conquests, Cyra is too familiar with his flirt-play-leave strategy--and she's not going to be a victim no matter how much she wants Eli to look at her as more than just a best friend. But Cyra's struggle with her unrequited love suddenly ends when he confesses his feelings. She should be elated, over the moon, lounging on cloud nine...but as she comes face-to-face with her fears from the past and Eli's playboy reputation catches up with him, can she fully trust her best friend to commit to her...or not? After all, he is Torrero University's typical heartbreaker. DISCLAIMER: This story is written in Taglish. COVER DESIGN: Regina Dionela
