After toppling one of the most powerful dynasties in Philippine history, elite attorneys Vivienne Cruz and Celeste Ravencroft are hailed as legends-champions of justice, truth, and fearless advocacy. But peace is fleeting when a ghost from their courtroom past resurfaces... with a secret that threatens to destroy everything they've built.

As they unravel a deeper web of deceit, they must confront a devastating question:
What if their greatest legal victory was their biggest mistake?

Their pursuit of the truth takes them across borders-into Swiss vaults, hidden military archives, and the path of powerful enemies who will kill to keep the truth buried. Loyalties will fracture. Trust will be tested. And the passionate bond they share may become their only anchor as their names-and lives-hang in the balance.

Because sometimes, the enemy isn't who you thought it was.
Sometimes... it's the devil you know.

The Faded Vows by lynk992925
18 parts Ongoing
He was waiting outside the OP, there for his student who had been injured during a fight over a phone. As he sat, casually glancing at his own phone, he suddenly heard the faint sound of a baby crying. Curious, he turned toward the sound-and froze. There, outside the pediatric care unit, sat his wife with their son crying in her arms. His heart ached-it had been months since he last saw his son. His gaze shifted to his wife, gently consoling the child. Her face looked tired, pale, and completely drained. Without a second thought, he stood, tears welling in his eyes. Each step he took felt heavy, his chest tightening with every cry from his son. As he neared, he saw her clothes were faded and worn. Her feet were bare, hardened from walking-clearly straight from the farm. His heart clenched. His eyes moved to his son-he had grown so much. She was so focused on calming the baby that she didn't notice him at first. Tears filled her eyes as she held their feverish child close. He softly called her name. Startled, she looked up-and froze. Then she quickly lowered her gaze and tried to get up. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her. She sat back down, turning her face away, quietly wiping her tears. He reached out to take their son. The moment he held him, he felt the heat-his little body was burning with fever. A chill ran through him. After all these months, seeing his child like this was unbearable. He loved his wife and son deeply, but his loyalty to his mother-and obedience to her word-always came first. Between a mother who owned his soul and a wife who held his heart, he was a man torn in a cruel war of love and loyalty. And she-she had given her all to a promise whispered beneath the sacred fire... never knowing that one day, she'd be holding her child, with nothing but a faded vow.

How To Keep The Marriage

10 parts Ongoing

Rani and Lamia thought fixing their marriage was the end of the storm, but healing doesn't stop just because love survived. After cheating, a miscarriage, and almost losing each other forever, they finally chose to stay and rebuild. Now they are learning how to love again... slowly, carefully, honestly. But rebuilding a marriage isn't as simple as saying "sorry" or "I forgive you." There are days filled with peace and laughter... and nights haunted by memories. There is love, but also fear. There is softness, but also unanswered pain. As new challenges appear, family pressure, emotional triggers, jealousy, and the question of trying again for the children, Rani and Lamia must face the truth... Fixing the marriage was the first battle. Fighting to keep it is the real war. Will their second chance be stronger than their past? Or will the cracks they once repaired begin to break open again?
