The Cost by RyuUui_

Mateo Santos has always been an outsider in the elite world of Filipino politics-a brilliant mind from humble beginnings, driven by equal parts patriotic idealism and burning ambition. When his revolutionary financial plan is adopted by President Gabriel Santiago, Mateo finally achieves the influence he's always craved, even as his obsessive work ethic strains his marriage to Elena and distances him from their children. As Mateo struggles to save his career and repair his shattered marriage, the political landscape shifts dramatically. Vice President Jaime Velasco seizes power through manipulation and conspiracy, while Ricardo positions himself as the voice of reason in a government descending into chaos. When Elena's sister Angelica, an investigative journalist, uncovers evidence linking Velasco and Ricardo to a shadowy international network, she becomes a target-forcing Mateo to make an impossible choice between political survival and family loyalty. His decision sets in motion a decades-long saga of redemption, revenge, and ultimately, wisdom. As Mateo's story unfolds across forty chapters of political intrigue and personal reckoning, one question remains: In a system where everyone has a price, what is the true cost of redemption? And when the shadows of the past return to threaten a new generation, will the lessons of history be enough to prevent tragedy from repeating?

Melancholy by justmikame

Elena Romano, a fierce and unyielding lawyer, becomes the only person who can keep Tristan Valenti, a notorious and untouchable mafia kingpin, out of prison. But as she's drawn deeper into his dangerous world, she discovers that the battle isn't just about saving him from the law-it's about saving him from himself. Yet in breaking every rule she's sworn to uphold, Elena risks losing more than her morals-she risks losing her heart to the man who might be beyond redemption. Melancholy - a bittersweet ache that lingers in the soul, like the taste of wine that's both bitter and intoxicating. It's the quiet storm of longing and loss, woven with moments of beauty so fleeting they hurt. Just like what Elena and Tristan want-something so consuming, it borders on destruction. Their love is jagged yet tender, a sanctuary wrapped in shadows where passion wars with despair. It's the sharp edges of love, the bruises of trust, and the haunting allure of wanting what might ruin you, yet never being able to let it go.
