He showed up quiet. I couldn't look away.
And somehow, he looked like a memory I never wanted to remember.

Sebastian Reyes has everything-status, skill, and the kind of control people envy. He's built his life around silence: hiding what haunts him, performing perfection. Until Anthony Cruz walks in.

Cold. Calm. Unbothered.

They're rivals from the moment they lock eyes, but something deeper stirs under the surface - something neither of them dares to speak aloud.

Because sometimes the past doesn't stay buried.
Sometimes it walks into your gym, looks you dead in the eye...

Belladona is like the rainbow after the storm-loud, vibrant, colorful, impossible to ignore. With her over-the-top outfits and playful humor, she's a walking contradiction: an American Barbie with the heart of a true Filipina. And for Storm Monasterio? She's the calm in chaos, the anchor to whirlwind. If a day passes without seeing her, his world turns into a havoc-harsh winds, heavy rains, and no trace of peace. But what happens when Storm realizes that his Belladona is just a beautifully crafted illusion? Because behind the wild colors and quirky charm is Belladona Mallory Davis-a woman who speaks perfect English, carries herself with demure elegance, and has already promised herself to another man. A woman who made a deal with her father to marry Cameron, the son of his wealthy friend, all to hold together a fragile family that was never truly whole. Mallory is willing to sacrifice everything-her happiness, her one great love, even herself-to keep her mother's heart from breaking. But at what cost? And if Storm was willing to weather every hurricane for her... why is he the one she's willing to leave behind? Because in a love like this, who does Belladona really belong to-Mallory, her family, or Pag-ibig she's too afraid to fight for?
