Sila'y pinag-isang dibdib ng kanilang masidhing pagnanasa— ang maghiganti at manubos para sa mga inosenteng buhay na isinangla kay kamatayan. Kapwa nanumpang palaging iingatan, poprotektahan, pahahalagahan, at mamahalin ang isa't isa mula sa araw na ito at sa mga susunod pang bukas, subalit ito'y hindi pangkaraniwang kwento ng romansa. Sila'y kapwa nanunumpang dudurugin, sasaktan, kasusuklaman, at kikitilin ang buhay ng isa't isa mula sa araw nang pagkakabunyag ng nakaraan at sa mga susunod pang bukas, hanggang si Kamatayan na mismo ang tumapos sa kanilang ugnayan. Bilang nag-iisang anak ng tanyag na mafia boss, lumaki si Quinn Amara Montejo sa pagkandili ng mga baril at patalim. Sa paghele ng karahasan at kalupitan, kanyang nasaksihan ang walang-awang pagbawi sa buhay ng kanyang mga minamahal. Ganid at uhaw sa dugo ang kaniyang kinalakihang mundo. Tila isang bombang nasa binggit ng pagsabog, rebelyon ang kanyang nakitang tanging susi upang makalaya mula sa anino ng kaniyang ama, ngunit agad itong natuldukan nang mag-aklas ang mga guhit sa kanyang palad. Ni hindi naligaw sa kanyang hinagap ang pagpapakasal, lalong hindi kay Gunther Zenith Dragoza, isang tanyag na business magnate na maraming sikretong itinatago. Lahat ay umaayon sa plano ng binata subalit kung siya'y ipinagkanulo't pinagtaksilan ng sariling puso, sino ang mananaig? Paghihiganti o pag-ibig? Dalawang pusong buong tapang na naglayag sa iisang sagradong tipanan. Sa bisig ng isat isa nga ba nila matatagpuan ang tahanang kanilang matagal na pinananabikan, o sila'y kapwa estrangherong dumaong lamang sa maling isla?

Mom dies of rage when she discovers that the bride at my wedding has become Nelly Johnson, Harvey Fisher's business partner. My wedding turns into Mom's funeral the moment she breathes her last breath. Despite that, Harvey insists that the ceremony continue as planned. He even orders me to put the wedding ring on Nelly's finger. "Hurry up and put it on! I'll explain everything to you tonight!" he snarls. I ignore him and leave the hotel with Mom's body in my arms. The wedding ends with a banging success at 8:00 pm. Nelly updated her social media with a post that's liked by tens of thousands of people. "I've finally married the light of my life! I'd like to thank a certain homewrecker for leaving after remembering her place." Harvey updates his social media with a similar post. "Those who are unworthy don't deserve to be loved." I like both their posts in the ice-cold morgue. I comment, "I wish you two a lifetime of happiness." Then, I head home with Mom's ashes. When I enter the house, I see Harvey holding Nelly tightly while making out with her.

"Our heart beats only with their permission." For as long as she can remember, the bookworm Synecdoche Rochet, 23, has lived a simple life in Maharlika Nation—hiding in the grasses and grains of District G to avoid the terrifying power of the Embassy and its ruthless Ambassador. In a dystopian world that is controlled with surveillance, Synecdoche Rochet embarks on a mission to get back their rights on their district's valuable resources—the grains.

They found themselves being the tributes on the 2nd Maharlika Spelling TwistBee—trapped in the Word Arena. An annually commemorated game where each district will represent one letter in the Alphabet, spell the given English words not verbally, but by beating other competitors who have letter tattoos on their arms. The rules are to Spell and beat them. Within the competitor's reach, the team-up of Synecdoche, Giovanni, Ulap, Token, and Keithwarth isn't a coincidence, it's a conspiracy. What if Synecdoche's age will be reversed? Will they use their intelligence for vengeance? Will they compel love and trust to survive the competition? Is their life the price or the prize? "Even the shortest word has the longest meaning."
