Unfavored by harsh fate, Hyena Aji Artiaga paves through her world with no one to depend on.
Her parents left . . . only for her to become one. She was ushered to a weighted responsibility. A hefty load enforced to carry all by herself. It was a total twist in the wind, a helpless grope in the pitch black void, a dry smile on a desert. Every breath was desperate effort, as if living is like lying on her own death bed.
Whilst, in a night where the darkness dominates, there'll always be the glowing moonrays. The one that radiates things around. The one that shines to pathways. The one that helps night vision.
It was the hand she didn't know would give her a grip. The bulb she didn't expect to light her night up. To help her get up, lift the loads, and alleviate her every breath.
She thought she had it. That she finally had claimed it. But then, life often really proves: wherever there light is, shadow also there is.
Because just like the moon phasing, Cole Kashiro Ferrari was also the thing she'd never expected to bring shadows over her nightlights again.

A night with Mr. Arrogant
Isang gabi lang. Pero sapat na para magbago ang lahat. Nina thought she had it all-career, comfort, and a relationship na matagal na niyang pinanghawakan. Everything seemed perfect... until dumating siya. The man with those piercing eyes, a smile that disarmed her logic, and a presence that shook her carefully built world. Cliché? Maybe. Pero hindi na ito rom-com sa sinehan-ito, buhay na niya. Kahit pa may ibang taong laman ng kanyang mga litrato at alaala, bakit nga ba si Iñigo ang laman ng puso niya gabi-gabi? Bakit siya ang naiisip niya kapag mag-isa na lang siya sa kwarto, habang tahimik ang mundo? Bakit siya ang gusto niyang makita pagkagising? His eyes-those intense, magnetic eyes-glimmered like cut diamonds, stealing every rational thought she had. His strong, perfectly built frame, parang knight in modern armor, always ready to catch her-figuratively and literally. He was a gentleman in every sense of the word. Calm. Confident. At may tinig na parang kayang tunawin ang lahat ng ingay sa paligid. Pero kapag hinahalikan niya si Nina, wala nang tahimik. Fireworks. The way his lips skimmed across her jaw, the electric pull when he crushed his lips against hers-it was more than just a kiss. It was chaos and comfort all at once. At dun niya narealize... She wasn't just drawn to him. She was falling. Hard. At habang pinipilit niyang itanggi, her body already betrayed her. Her heart? Matagal nang sumuko. Uh-oh. Nina could smell it. This isn't just attraction. This... is trouble. But the kind that makes you want to risk it allComplete
