Contract Marriage with Mr. Impotent
At a young age, Faerie White feels less than free. As the oldest daughter of the struggling White family, she is used to being trampled on by her powerhungry father, her jealous stepmother, and her wicked half-sister-all those would-be conquerors within the family. With her dear mother literally hanging onto life and with imminent financial ruin hovering over the family like a dark storm cloud, Fae is given an icy ultimatum: either marry a notorious first-class playboy or subject her own mother to wait until medical attention comes to a standstill.
But then, life has a different direction that it can take her.
Richard Gold is the wheelchair-bound heir no one takes seriously. Fae sees something else in him: a man with fire behind those silent eyes. In an offer that has him proposing a marriage of convenience and also offering to cover her mother's medical expenses, Fae produces a life-altering decision.
What she doesn't expect, however, is that Richard's secret power isn't the hobbled recluse that everyone assumes that he is. He hides from a world that determines his worth purely based on his status as the secret power behind a multi-billion empire. Unknowingly, Fae has married the king of it all.
As she evolves from drowning daughter to dominating wife, Fae learns to wield power in her own right. Taking on corporate espionage, family betrayal, and identity theft in the heat of a high-end kitchen. Through love, lies, and freedom wars, she destroys all the lies that once chained her down.
But when the ultimate secret drops-about her real father and the fortune she is about to inherit the enemies come rising from every corner and even love will have to be put to the test.

Chapter: Chapter 365: PahingaSa sumunod na araw, maagang nagising si Fae. Banayad ang sinag ng araw na tumatama sa kurtina, at ang malamig na hangin mula sa aircon ay halos ayaw siyang paalisin sa kama. Pero dahil sanay siya sa disiplina at routine, bumangon siya, ini-stretch ang braso, at kinuha ang kanyang telepono.Habang nakaupo sa gilid ng kama, nag-dial siya ng number. Dalawang ring pa lang—"Good morning, Ate Fae!"Isang matamis, napakabanayad, at masiglang boses ang sumagot.Ngumiti si Fae. "Micaela, kumusta ang Baker's Group?"Oo. Ang nasa kabilang linya ay si Micaela—dating suwail, dating magaspang ang ugali, dating puno ng yabang at galit… pero ngayon, ibang-iba na. Buong-buo, mabait, sweet, at parang mas bata pa sa totoong edad dahil sa lambing niya. Pinatawad na siya ng lahat at mahal na mahal niya ang kanyang Ate Fae.Sandaling tumahimik si Micaela bago nag-amin:"Ate… okay naman. Pero… kelan ka babalik ng Cebu? Miss na kita."Napangiti si Fae, napabuntong-hininga, halatang namiss niya rin ang kapat

Chapter: Chapter 364: Golden Fairy GroupMatapos ang ilang araw ng tamis, halakhak, at hindi masukat na lambing sa Maldives, muling bumalik sa Manila ang mag-asawa. Paglapag pa lang ng kanilang private jet sa NAIA VIP terminal, agad nilang naramdaman ang bigat pero saya ng pagbabalik-trabaho. Magkahawak-kamay silang bumaba sa hagdan ng jet, sabay hinga nang malalim—handa para sa bagong kabanata, hindi lang sa pag-ibig, kundi pati sa kanilang pinapanday na mga pangarap.Pagdating sa villa, nag-unpack lamang sila sandali bago muling naghiwalay ng landas kinabukasan para tuparin ang kani-kanilang tungkulin.Kinabukasan, pumasok si Richard sa Gold Prime Enterprises Headquarters. Binati siya ng mga empleyado na nakapila pa sa lobby, halos parang sinasalubong ang isang presidente ng bansa."Good morning, Chairman!" bati ng marami.Ngumiti lang si Richard. "Good morning. At hindi pa ako Chairman. Hindi pa ngayon," sabi niya, kaswal pero may bahid ng misteryosong plano sa boses.Pagkapasok niya sa boardroom, naroon na sina Kevin, Mo

Chapter: Chapter 363: HoneymoonPagkatapos ng seremonyang punô ng luha at kilig, lumipat ang lahat sa engrandeng open-air reception area sa may beachfront. Crystal chandeliers hung from elegant tent structures, golden lights reflecting off the calm waves. Soft instrumental music played in the background habang isa-isang pumapasok ang mga bisita.Richard and Fae arrived last—hand in hand, glowing, and very much in love."Ladies and gentlemen…" sigaw ng announcer,"…the newly married couple—Mr. and Mrs. Richard and Faerie Gold!"Umalingawngaw ang palakpakan....DINNERHabang kumakain, si Kevin ay… well… si Kevin pa rin."Ay Ma'am Fae," sabi ni Kevin habang sinusubo ang isang napakalaking sugpo,"kung alam mo lang, iniyakan ako ni boss Richard kagabi dahil kinakabahan daw siyang ikasal. Grabe, para akong naging nanay sa kanya."Naubo si Richard. Halos malaglag ang wine glass."KEVIN?!"Nagtawanan ang lahat, lalo na si Fernando na halos mapalakas ang sampal sa mesa sa kakatawa.Si Charlene naman, todo facepalm pero hal

Chapter: Chapter 362: Husband and WifeNang magkaharap na sina Richard at Fae sa altar, huminto ang musika at pumalit ang marahang hampas ng alon sa background. Tila pati ang dagat ay nakikinig.Ang presider ay ngumiti, tumingin sa bride and groom, at nagsalita:"Today, we witness a union blessed not just by family, but by every moment that shaped who you both are. Richard, Faerie… handa na ba kayo?"Sabay silang tumango.Sabay din silang napangiti—'yong ngiting punong-puno ng pagmamahal na hindi na kailangan ipaliwanag.Huminga nang malalim si Richard, hawak-hawak ang kamay ni Fae."Fae… noong araw na nakilala kita, hindi mo alam, pero doon nagsimula ang buhay ko ulit."Napaluha agad si Marcela. Si Kevin, pinipigil ang hikbi. Si Ariel Lim naglabas ng fan para takpan ang kilig niya."Pinakita mo sa akin," pagpapatuloy ni Richard, "kung ano ang totoong tapang—hindi 'yong kayang lumaban… kundi 'yong kayang magmahal kahit maraming sugat. Fae, ipinapangako ko… na sa buong buhay ko, ikaw ang magiging tahanan ko. At ako ang magi

Chapter: Chapter 361: Walang iiyakTumigil ang lahat.Nakahawak pa si Kevin sa kutsara, nakabuka ang bibig. Si Marcela napa–"oh?" nang mahina. Si lola napahinto sa pag-inom ng tsaa. At si lolo, nakangisi.Si Richard at Fae… parehong napatingin sa isa't isa.Walang salita.Pero parehong alam ang sagot.At mula sa katahimikan na 'yon—nag-transition ang mundo.Ang araw ay nasa golden hour, sumasayaw ang mga kulay kahel at rosas sa langit. Sa baybayin ng isang private luxury beach resort—isang lugar na tanging mga ultra-elite lamang ang karaniwang inaanyayahan—unti-unting dumarating ang mga bisita.Hindi basta bisita.Mga kilalang personalidad mula sa iba't ibang bansa—billionaire CEOs, royals mula sa Europe, media moguls, fashion icons, at ilang political dignitaries.May sariling VIP welcome lane.

Chapter: Chapter 360: SorpresaNatigilan sina Fae at Richard, sabay pang kumurap, matapos marinig ang sinabi ni Marcela."Mama…?" unti-unting nam crumple ang mukha ni Fae sa nahiwagaan.Napailing si Fae. "Ma, iba ang sakit mo. Hindi amnesia."Bahagyang suminghap sina Fernando at Kevin—pero si Marcela?Tumawa, malumanay pero halatang may kasamang pang-aasar."Oh my goodness, anak," sabi niya habang tinatakpan ang bibig na parang nahuli sa kalokohan. "I'm joking. Can't a mother make a little joke? Nakakakaba ka naman."Napabuntong-hininga si Fae, napahampas ng bahagya sa braso ng ina. "Mamaaaa!"Si Fernando naman, umiling nang nakangiti. "Hija, kahit kailan… hindi talaga mawawala ang kulit ng mama mo."Saka muling humarap si Marcela kay Richard. Mula sa malambot na ngiti, unti-unting lumalim ang ekspresyon niya—puno ng pasasalamat at paggalang."Richard… thank you," sabi niya, taos-puso at bahagyang nanginginig ang boses. "Salamat sa pag-aalaga sa anak ko… lalo na noong panahong mahina siya… at wala ako para gabayan

I Was Reborn To Marry This Annoying Man?
She underwent a death experience—at the hands of the family she cared for most, who then sold her off.
At eight years old, Seraphina Valeza was adopted from an orphanage by the Hawthorne family, a run-down third-rate family in Lunada City. She lived for fifteen years there, always careful, thankful for a house that was not her home. She was an excellent student, kept her sufferings to herself, and obeyed them in return for their "kindness."
When the Hawthorne family was on the verge of bankruptcy, they chose survival over conscience.
Seraphina was forced to marry Julian Moreau, the heir of a second-rate elite family. The marriage was hell. Behind closed doors, Julian humiliated her, controlled her every move, and crushed her dignity. In public, she was paraded as a trophy wife; in private, she was nothing more than a disposable tool. Once Julian seized full control of the Hawthorne family, Seraphina lost even her last value.
With no way out, she resorted to suicide.
But destiny wanted otherwise and gave her another chance.
She found herself in the same spot as she was on the day of her marriage.
This time she did neither crying nor begging. Instead, she smiled and switched the groom.
In front of stunned guests, Seraphina walked past Julian and stopped before a man sitting casually at the banquet table, dressed out of place and enjoying the food as if the wedding had nothing to do with him.
Lucien Cross.
The annoying guy she constantly quarreled with in college.
The man who cried while carrying her dying body in her past life.
The one whose love she came to realize onlqy when it was too late.
This time, Seraphina will not let him go.
And all those who wronged her will be punished, without exception.

Others formed small circles, exchanging stories, ideas, and promises of future collaboration.Photographs were taken in abundance.Under arches of white and gold, beside the endless ocean, in front of the glowing chandelier installations that had been carefully arranged across the deck.

A wide vanity stood at the center, covered with carefully arranged makeup tools, brushes, and palettes. Nearby, racks of dresses hung neatly—backup gowns, shawls, accessories—each one chosen with care.At the far end, a glass panel revealed the ocean outside.Waves moved calmly.As if unaware of the significance of the day.Seraphina sat in front of the mirror.Still.Composed.Her hair was half done, pinned carefully as the stylist worked through each strand.

Chapter: Chapter 207: Wedding DayIn the days that followed, Lucien led Seraphina through the entirety of the Cross residence.The estate, already vast at first glance, revealed itself to be something far greater upon closer acquaintance. It was not merely a place of residence, but a living chronicle of the Cross family's long and enduring history. Where the Valeza grounds carried the weight of power and structure, the Cross lands seemed to embody legacy—quiet, expansive, and deeply rooted.They traveled through its many sections by golf cart and by foot, pausing at intervals in small stations built across the estate. Some were pavilions surrounded by ancient trees, others were modest villas designed for rest. There, they would take their meals, spend the evening, and listen to Lucien recount fragments of his family's past—stories of war, of diplomacy, of men who rose not only through wealth but through influence and sacrifice.It took them a full week to complete a single circuit.During that time, Seraphina was intr
