Si Santiago ay nagmula sa panahon ng mga Kastila, ngunit dahil sa tadhana at pagmamahal, siya ay napadpad sa makabagong panahon. Sa mundong puno ng pagbabago at teknolohiya, kakayanin ba niyang makibagay? At sa gitna ng lahat ng ito, mananatili kaya ang pag-ibig nila ni Beatrice?

Alazne Raven Kailani Astor Walton - born into the powerful union of the Astor and Walton families - was destined for a life shaped by privilege, control, and expectation. But burdened by secrets and suffocating traditions, she fled from the identity imposed upon her, reinventing herself in the Philippines as Arkie Hernandez. Now twenty-two, she lives as an Architectural Engineering student: quiet, sharp, and seemingly unbothered - hiding behind the persona of a cold, mysterious nerd. What no one knows is that she is intersex, a truth she guards as fiercely as her royal lineage and immense wealth. But fate has other plans. Drawn into the orbit of five extraordinary women - Professors Alexandria, Kaisha, Jamie, Lara, and Sophia - Arkie finds herself entangled in emotions she was never meant to feel. Each woman is brilliant, beautiful, and commanding in her own right, yet each sees something in Arkie that others overlook. As boundaries blur and hearts begin to collide, what starts as quiet attraction slowly blossoms into something deeper - something forbidden by society, by tradition, and by the lives they already lead. She wasn't supposed to love them. She certainly wasn't supposed to be loved by all five. But some desires are too powerful to ignore, and some connections feel written in the stars. In a world that demands she choose, Arkie must navigate the complexities of identity, love, and freedom - daring to claim a happiness that defies every rule. Five Hearts, One Forbidden Love is a story of passion, courage, and the freedom to love without limits.

Lust is the fire that carries us into conquering the heat of heaven and hell. --- Tainted #2

ProfessorxStudent Story!!!

Cindy Isabelle Denares * Kennedy Van Alstine

In the hallowed halls of Anderson University, where textbooks hold secrets and chalk dust dances in golden light, a rebellious heart collides with a stern gaze that hides softness beneath sharp edges. She is the student who bends no rule she does not choose to break- until her eyes meet the professor whose frown could melt stars. A forbidden spark kindles between chalkboard lectures and whispered defiance, as a single challenge- "Make me, Miss!"- weaves their fates into a tapestry of tension and tender possibility. In every stolen glance across crowded rooms, every clash of wills in quiet offices, love stirs like morning mist over city skylines- unexpected, untamed, and waiting to bloom. © 2025 PEN OF AIRAH.

When desires couldn't hold back, and sinner has been prevail.

Bumalik si Blossom para samahan ang kanyang ina sa pagdadalamhati nito pero sa pagbabalik niyang iyon ay marami siyang matutuklasan tungkol sa kanyang yumaong kapatid na si Sweet. She wanted justice sa nangyari dito at nag-aral siya ulit para matupad ang pangarap ng kapatid niyang makapagtapos.

The she found herself drawn to her as she uncovered secrets about her twin sister Sweet's past. And what petrified her ay ang pag-ibig na biglang umusbong para sa propesora ng kapatid niya. Will she own it, or bury it like everything else? ***** Hindi man aminin ni Dennise. Napapansin na niya dati ang pariwarang si Sweet Schaffhausen. She's bold and daring at kung manamit ay paiba iba. Minsan parang rakista, minsan parang kinukulang sa tela. Palaging laman ng mga bar at palaging napapasama sa mga gulo. Hanggang isang araw ay nawala ito bigla at sa pagbalik nito'y nag-iba ang katauhan nito. Nag-iba nga ba o talagang ibang tao na ang nasa harapan niya ngayon? Iba na ang ugali at kung dati ay hinahabol habol siya nito, kung dati ay makulit ito sa kanya. Ang Sweet Schaffhausen na bumalik ay walang interest sa lahat ng bagay na parang nabura lahat kasama na siya. Iyong estudyante dati na maingay at palaaway ay naging misteryoso sa kanya hanggang isang araw ay natuklasan niyang wala na si Sweet Schaffhausen and this young woman's her identical twin sister, Blossom Schaffhausen. Suddenly, her world flip and in that moment she knew. She had fallen in love and wanted her student. Will Blossom acknowledge her feelings or just ignore it?
