The Calm After Her
He was the storm everyone feared. She was the sea no one saw drowning.
Atty. Callisto Sebastian V. Del Fierro - ruthless in court, cold in heart, and untouched by emotion. As one of the most feared lawyers in the country, he thrives on control, silence, and brutal logic. Love? It's a weakness he buried long ago.
Until he met Ellara Skye Sarmiento - a clumsy, soft-spoken nurse whose bright smile masks the shadows in her heart. She's warmth. She's chaos. She's healing. And she's hurting in ways no one dares to ask.
Their lives collide in a sterile ER - a chance encounter of bruises and stitched skin. But what starts as curiosity slowly pulls at their scars, until the coldest man finds himself addicted to her calm... and to her pain.
When the biggest legal case of Callisto's career entangles Ellara's broken past, he's forced to choose: justice... or the woman who taught him how to feel.

Javier Alas "Javi" Valdez - the top student of the nursing department, wealthy, charming, and annoyingly carefree. They shared the same university halls for years, but fate never let their worlds collide... until one night at the bar Ashton's worked at. One wrong move. One accident. One choice that cost her the job she relied on. She swore never to see him again. But the universe knows better. Now, Ashton finds herself reluctantly working as Javi's personal assistant - or more accurately, his "bantay," hired by his mother to keep him grounded. What starts as a forced partnership turns into a slow unraveling of secrets, sparks, and something neither of them saw coming. Can two people from different worlds learn to coexist - or worse, fall for each other?
