Ang Sisiw at Ang Agila

Ang Sisiw at Ang Agila (The Chick and The Eagle) is the second book in the Kristine Series. It tells the story of Nathaniel Fortalejo-Cervantes and Jasmin Cuevo.

Don Leon Fortalejo chose Jasmin as Nathaniel's bride, blackmailing both to accept his decision. The old Fortalejo manipulated Jasmin to temporarily work at the Kristine Resort's front desk which his grandson run. He threatened to fire Jasmin who needed the job to support her ill sister, Iris, after the death of both of their parents. The two encountered each other and immediately sowed dislike for one another. Jasmin was warry of Nathaniel because of Don Leon's warning for her to not fall in love with his grandson and Nathaniel was suspicious of why his grandfather broke his rule to only hire locals for the resort.

Don Leon informed Jasmin of his intention to have her married to Nathaniel baiting her for support for her sister's much needed heart operation. In turn, Nathaniel was threatened that he will lose the sole rights of running the Hacienda if he refuses to follow his grandfather's will. Don Leon also promised to transfer the rights of Villa Kristine immediately to Nathaniel's name when he marries Jasmin.

Despite being attracted to Jasmin, Nathaniel refused to be manipulated by his grandfather but he couldn't lose his birthright. Aside from wanting to defy Don Leon he also was of the conservative mindset that Fortalejo's only marry virgin brides which apparently disqualifies Jasmin who pretended that her baby sister is her own child.

Jasmin lied that her sister was her child to Nathaniel to dissuade any advances but instead attracted unsavoury intentions and unwarranted insults both from Nathaniel and the resort's supervisor.

Despite both of their efforts, the two ended up getting married and Jasmin pointed out she and Nathaniel were both doing it for money and that they are the same.

On their wedding night, Nathaniel discovered that Jasmin was a virgin but in the morning he woke up to find Jasmin gone. He was later informed that Jasmin left for Manila because her sister had to be taken to the hospital. Nathaniel found out the truth that Iris is indeed her sister and not her daughter. Nathaniel apologized and confessed his love for Jasmin. Jasmin was reluctant to believe him remembering the awful things Nathaniel had said. Nathaniel left after Jasmin promised to think things through. She was later informed by Don Leon that Nathaniel had asked the transfer of Villa Kristine to be put on hold and that Nathaniel requested for a house to buy in Manila so he can stay with Jasmin and Iris. It was then when Jasmin believed that Nathaniel loves her.
