Mature
(Dela Vega Series #1) Despite barely knowing each other, Dwight dela Vega thought that he had already found the one after knowing the gorgeous and elusive Keighla Kinsley. He didn't know how it happened or when it did. He didn't know where the shift occurred or what was responsible for it. One thing's for certain, he learned to chase hopelessly, prayed desperately, and hoped undauntedly. 

After the long chase and countless rejections, she finally said "I do." They got married. What more he could ask for? He got the prettiest and coolest wife in the world. 

But things as always are easier said than done. When things get messy, and you make mistakes and the world is less shiny, for Keighla, leaving is always better than staying. No, their love wasn't wrong. Maybe that wasn't just the right moment. Maybe they weren't just right to fit together. 

Sure he can forget. But no, he cannot forgive. She left him at his worst. He was shattered and broken-almost beyond repair. 

After five years of living through the pain of being abandoned, here she came back again-proud and beautiful. But what if not as someone he used to know before? 

Would after all still be possible for two hearts that beat the same person but bleeds for different reasons?

Aminah de Salva lived a sheltered life. She used to get everything that she wanted. Everyone around her treated her like a princess. Everybody loves her because despite her social status and family background, she acts like a normal average person. She doesn't think twice to mingle with the beggars on the street and help them to have a new life. She's a very down to earth woman who loves to make friends. She wore simple dresses. Loves to cook and most specially, God fearing. But that was four years ago. Everything's changed in an instant because of an accident who took her parents' lives and her memory along with her lovable personality. She became heartless even when her memories finally went back. And for the people around her, she's a ruthless businesswoman who doesn't care about other's feeling. Because of her b*tchy attitude, her life is in danger. And the only thing that can save and protect her from the bad guys is to marry Knife Marquez, the son of his father's best friend, a cold as ice ten out of ten alpha male and as ruthless as her. But she didn't expect to fall in love with the man who loves someone else. And for Knife, she's just a responsibility that needs to be taken care of. How long will she ever endure the pain of loving her husband? And how will Knife love her back if he hates her for ruining his relationship with her long time girlfriend?

21 parts Ongoing
They taught her how to bow. She showed them how to burn like a burning meteor. She was banished. He was bound. Now a contract marriage might ruin-or save-them both. [Written in TAGLISH] Some collisions were written in the stars. This one might destroy them both. She was meant to be free. He was meant to let her go. But destiny has a twisted sense of humor. Perrine Dubois is back-after four years of being banished, just like she wanted. Away from her people who keeps telling her who she should be. Away from expectations and pressure. Away from a privilege and legacy she never asked. Away from her damned family. She built a new life in New York with her found family. But when a scandal, the police, and the threat of imprisonment loom over them, she's forced to return to the world she swore she'd never be part of again. The world of old money, power, and her five-generation family conglomerate. And worse? She hears his name again. Luke Fortaleza. The emotionless, duty-bound man she's been betrothed to since childhood-thanks to a centuries-old promise their families won't let them escape. Her father's ultimatum? Marry him, or your friends will suffer the consequences. But Luke isn't the same puppet she remembers. He has a plan. He offers her a deal: a two-year contract marriage. It was either him, or ruin someone's dreams... again. With no way out Perri agrees to his offer despite not knowing what's in it for him. Trapped between old wounds and new consequences, they're forced to collide again- Fire meets water. Rage meets silence. A meteor meets the ocean. And nothing will be the same. __________ This story is a blend of drama, romance, humor, and thriller, and action, weaving together family expectations, hidden traumas (handled with care-no graphic violence or triggering content), the weight of power, high-stakes business politics, and an unforgiving social hierarchy --with a looming romance and burried secrets threatening to unravel!
