Masarap talaga ang bawal. Lalo na kung araw-araw kang sinusubok ng tadhana. The more forbidden it is, the greater the urge to have it yourself. Kay daling sabihing iwasan na lang. Ngunit kung sayo na mismo hinain, makakatanggi ka pa ba? Achelous Dwayne R. Leyva is the youngest in Calle Nueva. He's smart, athletic, and responsible. Gwapo pero suplado. Uptight personality never suited anyone better than him. It's part of his charms. Ayos na sana. Perpekto na ang lahat. He got too much of everything. Too fit, too attractive, too gentle- but sadly... too young for the one he likes.

If there was one thing Blaze Vitale perfected over the long years of suffering and pain, that was pretending to be okay and making "I'm fine," the most common lie in human history believable. He had to be fine. For his brother. He decided to be fine and made himself smile. It was hard, but he had to do it right-with a smile. Then she came along, the woman who had the same face as his beloved. He was a mess and broken, and he thought she was his salvation, that she was the answer to his affliction... But he was wrong... because instead of fixing him, she broke him even more. CECELIB | C.C. WARNING: MATURE CONTENT | R-18 COMPLETED Cover: Astrid Jaydee

Blake Vitale was a mess. Alam niyang para siyang bomba na malapit nang sumabog. He can even hear the ticking of the clock in his head, the time bomb in his soul. Pero pilit siyang kumakapit, pilit siyang lumalaban para sa hustisya at para sa kakambal niya. Sa paglipas ng mga taon, normal na sa kaniya na wala siyang emosyon at wala siyang maramdaman. Day after day, he got broken and broken until there's nothing left of him. He plead for forgiveness. He plead for absolution and for remission of every sins he committed. But would his broken soul's plea be heard? Or would he lost his soul altogether? CECELIB | C.C. WARNING: MATURE CONTENT | P-18 COMPLETED Cover: Astrid Jaydee
