Threads of the Heart
In a world where tradition still holds power, two extraordinary women find themselves caught in a pact made long before they understood the meaning of love. Mariah Queen Arceta, known to the public as Aiah, is a 24-year-old fashion powerhouse. As the CEO and founder of the globally celebrated clothing brand ARC, she has built an empire with elegance, grace, and quiet determination. Known for her ethereal beauty and demure presence, Aiah is often described as soft-spoken and kind a true modern muse. Behind her success, however, lies a life dictated by responsibility and familial expectation. Mikhaela Janna Lim, or Mikha, is a prodigy in the medical field. At just 23, she is the youngest Cardiothoracic surgeon in the Philippines and already heads her department at St. Luke's Global City. Calm, composed, and enigmatic, she's often called the "Face Card" of the hospital not just for her striking, androgynous beauty but for the way she commands a room. Behind closed doors, Mikha unwinds through late-night Valorant games, where she lets loose her competitive, playful side far from the cool and stoic doctor the world sees. Their lives, so different yet equally intense, collide when a long-standing agreement between their families resurfaces: an arranged marriage neither of them expected nor wanted. Thrown into a commitment built on legacy rather than love, Aiah and Mikha must navigate their growing bond while balancing careers, public expectations, and the question of what love truly means when it's written into fate. But as secrets are revealed and walls begin to fall, will this unexpected union become the greatest love story neither of them saw coming?Complete

Owned by Her
By day, Aiah Arceta is a fourth-year psychology student-quiet, hardworking, and burdened by the weight of her sick mother and younger brother who depend on her. By night, she becomes someone else entirely: a dancer in a secretive girls-only club where fantasies blur with reality. The club isn't just a stage-it's Mikha Lim's kingdom. She owns it, runs it, and rules it with a velvet fist. Every girl is her girl, every night her empire. But when Aiah steps into her spotlight, Mikha sees more than just another dancer. She sees temptation. She sees danger. She sees someone worth breaking her own rules for. In the neon-lit haze of smoke, music, and skin, desire is a currency, secrets are the price, and love? Love is the most dangerous gamble of all. A story of forbidden hunger, possession, and the kind of love that tastes like sin-this is not just about dancing. It's about who you become when the world finally looks at you in the dark.

What happens when two stubborn hearts collide in a marriage built on power, not love? And what happens when secrets are revealed between vows?

One family bound by love-and tested by desire. Abandoned by their birth parents and rescued from uncertain futures, eight girls from vastly different backgrounds are adopted into the glamorous world of the Lazaros-a wealthy, powerful gay couple known for their influence and compassion. Raised as sisters in a life of comfort and privilege, they share everything... except their secrets. For Mikha, the third youngest, no bond is deeper than the one she shares with Aiah-the eldest sibling and her source of strength since the day she was found alone in a secluded place.

But when signs suggest Aiah might feel the same, the lines between family and forbidden love begin to blur. How do you silence a love that was never supposed to exist? And what happens when the person you can't let go of is the one you were never allowed to want? As hidden desires clash with loyalty, and love threatens to unravel everything they've ever known, Mikha and Aiah must face a devastating truth: Sometimes the heart wants what it should never reach for-and they must decide whether love is worth breaking every rule.Complete
