Cross Paths Novels & Stories

[Synopsis] Ryella was the lawyer who swore she would never cross the line. Vladimir was the billionaire mafia king who lived by breaking every law. Nang mapilitan ang ambisyosong abogada na si Ryella Cruz na ipagtanggol ang pinakamapanganib na tao sa lungsod, umaasa siyang isang matinding labanan lamang sa loob ng courtroom ang kanyang haharapin. Ngunit ang hindi niya inaasahan ay ang labanan sa kanyang kalooban—ang pang-akit ng kapangyarihan ni Vladimir, ang pagtuto ng kanyang pagdampi, at ang tukso ng isang mundo na isinumpa niyang hindi niya kailanman papasukin. Si Vladimir Valente ay walang awa, hindi mapipigilan, at lubos na na-obses. Para sa kanya, si Ryella ay higit pa sa kanyang depensa—siya ang kanyang premyo, ang kanyang obsesyon, ang kanyang ipinagbabawal na reyna. Ang bawat sulyap, bawat pabulong na pangako, at bawat mapanganib na halik ay naghila sa kanya nang mas malalim sa imperyo ng pagnanais ni Vladimir. Ngunit sa isang mundong binuo sa dugo at pagtataksil, ang pag-ibig ang pinakamapanganib na krimen sa lahat. Kailangang magpasya ni Ryella: ipaglalaban ba niya ang hustisya, o susuko sa lalaking kayang sirain ang kanyang karera, ang kanyang moralidad, at ang kanyang puso? Isang kontrata. Isang paglilitis. Isang obsesyon na maaaring sumunog sa kanilang dalawa. Maligayang pagdating sa Imperyo ng Pagnanais—kung saan ang passion ay isang sandata, at ang pagsuko ay ang sukdulang kasalanan.

Seraphina Voss is a kind, ordinary 22-year-old college student who only dreams of a quiet, peaceful life. But everything shatters the night she is kidnapped on her way home. Her first defiant cry rings out: “Sino ka?! Bitawan mo ‘ko!” — yet no one answers, as she is taken away and locked inside a cold, luxurious room that is nothing more than a gilded cage. Her captor is Dante Moretti: ruthless, powerful, and wealthy enough to own almost everything and everyone in the city. He took Seraphina simply because he wanted her, believing he has the right to claim anything his eyes set on. Seraphina begs every maid and guard for help, but no one dares assist — they value their jobs, families, and lives too much to cross Dante. To break her spirit, Dante slowly makes her life miserable: freezing cold room, barely enough tasteless food, lights kept on 24/7 so she can never rest, and closed curtains that keep all sunlight away. He wants her weak, helpless, and completely dependent on him. He reminds her again and again that she belongs to him entirely — body, life, and will. He cruelly claims the world has forgotten her; her family thinks she ran away, no one is looking for her, and only he holds her fate. All suffering will end, he promises, the moment she submits and accepts she is his. But even as she grows weak, sick, and hopeless, Seraphina refuses to surrender. He may have trapped her body, but she will never let him own her heart, her spirit, or her identity.

Back in college, Damian Cross and Alexandra “Alex” Vega shared a reckless kind of passion—one built on stolen nights, whispered names, and a promise that it was nothing serious. No commitments. No future. Just fire. Pero hindi alam ni Damian, that fire left something behind—twins. A boy and a girl Alex raised on her own, telling them their father died years ago. While Damian built his ruthless empire and became one of the world’s most powerful billionaires, Alex buried their past and became a decorated soldier. Until one mission went wrong, leaving her unit dead… and turning her into one of the most sought-after bodyguards in the country. Seven years later, Alex’s world shatters again—her daughter is diagnosed with leukemia. Desperate for money for the surgery, Alex takes the job she almost rejected: protect a billionaire being hunted by enemies. She nearly drops the file when she sees his name. Damian Cross. Damian, on the other hand, isn’t thrilled either. He laughs in disbelief when he’s told his new head of security is a woman—until she walks in. The same fierce eyes. The same fire. The same woman he thought he’d lost forever. Now, Damian must face the truth: the bodyguard sworn to protect him is the only woman he’s ever let too close… and she’s hiding the biggest secret of all—his children. As bullets close in, old wounds reopen, and sparks reignite, Alex must choose: keep the walls she built for seven years, or let Damian back in—and risk breaking more than just her own heart.
