It's my first time writing a story here on Wattpad so please support me this story is taglish.

In the glittering chaos of Manila, two worlds collide - one painted in light, the other steeped in shadows.

Celestine Montero Virel, a 23-year-old business magnate, is known for her cold precision and ruthless efficiency. Born into power, molded by a father who leads an empire built in both blood and brilliance, she hides her softness beneath pearl necklaces and white heels. The world knows her as untouchable - elegant, dangerous, and unreachable.

Until she meets Caiden Maurex Santiago Sandoval, a 26-year-old painter and photographer from a rival family of power and infamy. He captures beauty for a living - but the moment he sees her in the museum, framed by the glow of Manila light and the echo of her solitude, he finds a new muse.

But in their world, love is never just love. It's a dangerous game of control, secrets, and silent wars - where one wrong move could ruin empires and hearts alike.

And beneath the soft green of her favourite flowers lies the colour of envy, desire, and something far darker.

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.

After High Series # 1: Do You Swear?

48 parte Ongoing

(After High Series # 1) Saffron Rose Borromeo appears to have it all-top grades, family connections, and a guaranteed future in law. But appearances can be deceiving. Maximiliano Jose Delgado is her academic equal and complete opposite. Brilliant, intense, and fiercely independent, he seems to see right through her polished facade-and he clearly doesn't like what he sees. From their first day at the SCA- College of Law, they're locked in a rivalry that goes beyond textbooks and test scores. It's personal. It's consuming. And neither understands why the other brings out such strong reactions. But when good intentions collide with wounded pride, their carefully constructed worlds begin to crumble. Some secrets destroy trust. Some lies are meant to help. And sometimes, the person you're trying to save is the last person who wants your rescue.
