Sandy Lim and David Marasigan were young, in love, and full of dreams-but the world around them had other plans.
David, a poor but brilliant young man, loved Sandy deeply. But her family never approved. When he was forced to leave, David promised to return-not with riches, but with honor. A simple promise ring was all they had to hold on to.
Years passed. David endured heartbreak and hard work abroad. Sandy, caught between duty and love, was pushed into an engagement to save her family's legacy. When David returned to stop the wedding, he was too late.
But destiny wasn't done with him yet.
After saving the life of a powerful CEO, David is adopted and reborn as David Takahashi-heir to an empire and a man with a mission.
Now, ten years later, he returns to the Philippines-not to reclaim revenge, but to face the woman who once broke his heart... and perhaps, to love her all over again.
A story of promises, pain, and the power of time-because when hearts truly align, even the years can't tear them apart.

*πππππππ π πππππππ* After a short-lived marriage with the cold and arrogant billionaire Ronin Logan, Carmen Price is eager for a break. Her attempt to unwind leads her to another wealthy billionaire, Simon Walsh. Little does she know, she's about to encounter a whole new set of problems. Ronin Logan doesn't do things without a purpose. Marrying a lowly employee from his company wasn't a random choice; it was to salvage his family's reputation after his lover bailed on their wedding.

Caught in a web of love, deceit, and betrayal that seems to lurk around every corner when they're together, will Carmen and Ronin find a moment to catch their breath and truly understand each other? Can they ever find it in themselves to grant the second chance that both of them might just deserve? [EXCERPT] "This is not the right time," she whispered, almost pleading to him, her voice trembling despite her attempts to stay firm. Her hands were pressed against his chest, feeling the solid muscles beneath his shirt. It was a losing battle to resist him. Ronin's lips gently brushed against her earlobe once more, his warm breath making her shudder, his fingers dancing around her waist. "Carmen," he murmured, his deep voice a low, seductive whisper, "there's never a right time when it comes to us." - STANDALONE - SERIALIZED FICTION - MULTIPLE SEASONS - UPDATE SCHEDULE: MON & FRIComplete

NOTHING FATHERLY ABOUT THIS
-He was my stepfather. The man my mother married after my real dad died. I hated him-or at least I thought I did. Until she left. And he stayed. When Joong's mother vanishes with a new lover, she leaves behind a letter, a home, and a truth-plus one very devoted stepfather. Dunk never tried to replace Joong's father... but he's always been there. Quiet. Kind. Too kind. And Joong is starting to wonder if all that resentment has been covering up something else entirely. A short, emotionally complex, age-gap drama full of tenderness, love, and the quiet heartbreak of loving someone you're not supposed to. A contract marriage. A broken family. An 18-year-old boy who hates the man he believes stole his mother-and a man who only wanted to protect them both. Joong never asked for a new father. Especially not one like Dunk-quiet, responsible, and irritatingly handsome. Dunk married his mother for reasons Joong doesn't understand, and now that she's gone, Dunk still won't leave. But in the silent spaces between slammed doors and unspoken truths, something begins to shift. Steady. Domestic. Emotional. This is not the story they expected.Complete
