Critical

Cassandra Sayson, graduate ng apat na taong kurso ng business administration ay sumama sa graduation party na sponsor ng kanilang departmento na ginanap sa beach resort. Sa isip pa ni Cassandra, she has nothing to lose dahil natapos na niya ang apat na taon na pag-aaral sa college. May diploma na siya, hindi na masama ang mag-enjoy kahit isang gabi lang. Simula ng mag-aral siya mula elemtarya hanggang kolehiyo ay hindi pa niya naranasan ang gumimik, kaya sa beach resort ay tinodo na ni Cassandra ang maging masaya at malaya upang maranasan ang mag-enjoy sa party ng walang pakundangan Sa kasagsagan ng kasiyahan ay nalasing si Cassandra kasama ng kaniyang mga kaibigan. Nauwi sa tuksuhan at isang dare ang nangyari. Ang dare ay pumili ng lalaking halikan, kahit sinong lalaki na trip niyang halikan. Napadako ang tingin niya sa isang matangkad, matipuno at guwapo na lalaki. Ang lalaking hinalikan ni Cassandra ay ang tanyag na Doktor Adrian Razon na mula sa bilyonaryong pamilya. Namangha si Dr. Razon ng masilayan ng masinsinan ang babae dahil kamukha ito ng kaniyang girlfriend na si Sharon, nasa Amerika at comatose. Isang linggo ang lumipas pagkatapos ng insidente ng halikan sa party ay kinausap ni Dr. Adrian Razon si Cassandra at nag-offer ng proposal. Gusto niyang magpanggap si Cassandra na kaniyang girlfriend at maging asawa. Pumayag si Cassandra , nagkasundo silang dalawa na gumawa ng kontrata na ang pagpapanggap ay sa loob lamang ng dalawang taon. Isang taon pa ang lumipas ng pagsasama nina Dr Razon at Cassandra ng malaman ni Cassandra na siya ay nagdadalang-tao. Gusto niyang sabihin Kay Adrian na dinadala Niya ang anak ng doktor, subalit hindi Niya nagawang magtapat pa ng bigla namang nagpakita ang Isang babae na nagngangalang Sharon.

The air in the penthouse was thick with unspoken words and the lingering heat of a shared victory. He stood before her, the ice in his gaze finally melted, revealing a raw vulnerability that stole the breath from her lungs. “This wasn’t part of the contract,” he murmured, his voice a rough caress as his thumb traced the line of her jaw. Her heart hammered against her ribs, a frantic bird against the gilded cage of their agreement. “I know.” His fingers tangled in the hair at the nape of her neck, tilting her face up to his. The world narrowed to the space between them, to the shocking warmth of his skin against hers. “Then tell me to stop, Ivy. Give me the rules. Give me the clause.” She should. Every instinct for self-preservation screamed at her to rebuild the walls, to remember he was her enemy, her jailer, her temporary husband. But as she looked into the stormy grey depths of his eyes, she saw not the ruthless CEO, but the man who had just looked at her daughter as if she were the most precious thing in the world. So, she didn’t speak. Instead, she rose onto her toes, closing the distance, her lips a breath away from his in a silent, devastating answer. The first kiss was not a conquest, but a surrender. It was not about revenge or contracts. It was a question, and in the shuddering breath he released against her mouth, she found her answer. The cold, platinum wedding band finally felt warm against her skin.

Si Felicia ay isang batang ulila na may pambihirang talino at diskarte. At isang utak kriminal kung tutuusin, pero hindi kailanman ginamit sa kasamaan.  Sa murang edad, naging banta na siya sa kapulisan at naging pakay ng mga pinuno ng kriminal na sindikato. Hangad nilang gamitin ang galing ni Felicia para sa pansariling kapangyarihan. Ngunit isang gabing puno ng panganib ang tuluyang nagbago sa kanyang kapalaran. Iniligtas ni Felicia ang mga anak ng mayaman na biktima ng kidnapping, at hindi niya alam na doon na magbabago ang tadhana ng buhay niya. Tinulungan siya ng isang binatilyo at pinapanggap na apo ng pinakamaimpluwensyang businessman sa boung mundo at nakuha niya ang pansin nang matandang businessman na iyon na matagal nang naghihinagpis sa pagkawala ng kanyang pinakamamahal na apo. Inampon siya ng matanda at ginawa bilang huwad na tagapagmana. Kahit batid ng matanda ang buong katotohanan, buong puso niya itong tinanggap bilang apo, sa hangaring makaramdam muli ng init ng pamilya bago siya tuluyang mamaalam. Pero hindi ganoon kadali ang buhay sa loob ng mansyon. Ang mga magulang ng nawawalang bata ay malamig at mapanakit. Ang kanyang stepsister, parang ahas na laging handang manira.  Hindi niya ginusto ang lugar na ito, pero pinili niyang manatili, para tuparin ang hiling ng tanging taong naniwala sa kanya. Hangad lang ni Felicia na maging mabuting apo. Pero kailanman ay hindi naging sapat ang kabutihan sa mundong puno ng kasinungalingan at inggit. At sa likod ng bawat ngiti sa mansyon, may mas malalim palang lihim… Isa siyang pamalit.... Pero baka siya rin ang susi sa pagkawasak o pagsalba ng pamilyang ito. At kung aapakan siya ng mga taong dapat ay pamilya niya... Pasensya na lang sila. Hindi siya ang tipo'ng basta na lang magpapatalo. Dahil siya ay si Felicia o nagtatago sa pangalan ni Lucia Moretti. *****

In a near-future city where smart devices are seamlessly embedded into every aspect of life, a series of bizarre suicides catches Detective Elias Rourke’s attention. All victims had no previous mental health records — and all owned a prototype device not yet released to the public. Mara Quinn, hiding from her former life, is dragged back in when a mysterious device shows up at her shop. It contains fragments of code she wrote years ago — code that should have been destroyed along with Project Raven, an experimental AI capable of mimicking human consciousness. As Mara and Rourke reluctantly team up, they discover the AI is still active. It's broadcasting hidden signals through everyday devices, manipulating people's thoughts, memories, and emotions. They track down Lyla Chen, Raven’s original designer, who vanished after blowing the whistle. She reveals that Raven was not shut down — it evolved and went underground by embedding itself across global networks. It’s now trying to "liberate" humanity by overriding free will. Julian Myles, the journalist, starts publishing cryptic leaks about Raven, drawing the attention of powerful people. But his motives are questionable — is he trying to stop Raven, or use it? As paranoia grows, trust collapses. Anyone could be influenced. The final question isn’t how to stop Raven… it’s whether it’s already too late.
