Casanova's Love Affair
Knile Monte Forteros, a CEO at the renowned Fragments Fox Newspapers and Magazines Company and hailing from a wealthy family, was about to marry his fiancée, Cayleigh Shaine Montemayor, who also came from a family of business owners and owned the Hotel de Montemayor, but it was thwarted due to an accident.
Akira Rodrigo Salamanca, a fashion designer and owner of the famous Magic Fashion Boutique, was the one who hit Knile's fiancee, Cayleigh, causing her to lose both legs. Out of anger, Knile imprisoned Aki and hid the events from the public using his high position in society. Seeing no other hope, Aki made a deal to be Cayleigh's aide for life in exchange for his freedom. Aki became Cayleigh's legs and eyes, which also led to frequent interactions between him and Knile.
But if the heart of the oppressed falls into false love, is the feeling of the heart heavier than the depth of gratitude? Is it wrong to fall in love with a conqueror? Maybe so, but it's worse to fall in love secretly.

Chapter: Chapter 4There were nights when Cayleigh forgot she no longer had legs.Not because the pain stopped—phantom pain never truly did—but because in the quiet spaces of her room, when her body had grown too tired to fight and the world outside finally stopped whispering, her mind wandered back to how things used to be.Dancing barefoot on the marble floor of her family’s villa.Running through hotel halls as a child, her laughter echoing like bells.Rising to her toes to kiss Knile in his office, hidden behind the stained glass panel he kept for privacy.And then—she would wake. Stiff. Heavy. Trapped in a body that no longer felt like hers.But worse than that was the feeling she could no longer name. That gnawing ache that had nothing to do with her legs, and everything to do with a man who didn’t belong to her world, and yet somehow had taken root in it like an uninvited vine.Aki.He had been different from the beginning.She expected resistance, maybe even bitterness. She expected him to cower

Chapter: Chapter 3Akira Rodrigo Salamanca never expected to live this long.Not after the accident. Not after the look on Knile Monte Forteros’s face when he saw Cayleigh’s broken body on that blood-slicked hospital bed. Not after the deal was struck in that cold, steel-lined interrogation room where Akira surrendered his future, his pride, and any dream of redemption.He had accepted death.But instead, he was handed a sentence worse than prison: servitude to the woman he destroyed.At first, he believed it was fair.For weeks, he walked like a ghost behind her, tending to her like she was made of cracked porcelain. He bathed her when the nurses left. Dressed her when she couldn’t bear to let anyone else touch her. He changed her bandages with trembling hands, fighting the nausea in his throat each time he saw the scars he caused.He had memorized every inch of her pain.And somewhere along the way... he began to memorize her too.Not as the victim.Not as the heiress in high heels and pearls.But as

Chapter: Chapter 2Knile Monte Forteros had always believed that control was everything.He controlled markets with headlines, steered public opinion like a tide, and built empires with a single signature. He didn’t need to shout to be heard. His silence spoke louder than any press release. His presence commanded boardrooms, and his name opened doors others didn’t even know existed.But now, as he stood in the hallway outside Cayleigh’s room—unable to take one more step inward—he realized there was one thing even he couldn’t control:Time.Or more specifically, how it could strip away everything in seconds.She had been so beautiful that day. He remembered the way her veil had shimmered under the studio lights, the way her laughter echoed in the hallway of the boutique when she teased him for being too stiff about floral arrangements. She had always been softness with a spine, poised but mischievous. She made power look graceful.Now, she wouldn’t even look him in the eye.And that... that killed him mo

Chapter: Chapter 1They said her legs were gone.Just like that.One moment, she had been floating in silk and lace, her arms raised as the tailor pinned the last detail to her gown. The next, she was weightless and weighty at the same time, crushed by something she couldn’t see and too numb to scream.Cayleigh didn’t remember the impact, only the silence that came after. A silence so loud it still echoed in her bones.Now, she sat in her room—a room too beautiful to belong to someone broken. The curtains fluttered gently from the breeze, spilling light onto the polished floors of her Montemayor estate. Her mother had ordered the nurses to repaint the walls a calming ivory, as if color could make up for lost limbs. Her father installed railings and ramps with military efficiency. A mechanical hospital bed was wheeled into her once-princess-like chamber, dwarfing her antique dresser, erasing her past with every beep and hydraulic hiss.And Knile... Knile came only when necessary.He brought flowers she c

Chapter: PrologueThere was no storm that night. No raging winds, no warning signs.Just silence. Then headlights.Cayleigh Sasa Montemayor had always imagined her wedding day to be something out of a fairy tale. Growing up in the pristine halls of the Montemayor estate, surrounded by crystal chandeliers, soft classical music, and the scent of lavender that always lingered on her mother’s dresses, Cayleigh was a woman who believed in control. In destiny. In perfection.And marrying Knile Monte Forteros was the final thread to her ideal tapestry. Their union wasn't just about love—though there was a tenderness in Knile she thought no one else could see. It was about legacy. About two powerful families weaving their fortunes and visions together, sealing their dominance over media and hospitality in a single, golden vow.But fate—cruel, poetic, ironic fate—had other plans.That evening, Cayleigh had just left her bridal fitting. The gown—designed by an up-and-coming genius named Akira Rodrigo Salamanca—h

Chapter: Chapter 5The morning in Manila felt heavy—almost too calm for Summer Skyton’s liking. Even the birds outside her hotel window chirped in an eerie rhythm, as if nature itself sensed the tension looming beneath her skin.She stared at her reflection in the mirror of Room 2703, heart pounding. Her hazel eyes were slightly bloodshot from lack of sleep. Her jet-black hair was braided into a clean, no-nonsense style, but it did little to hide the subtle tremble in her shoulders.“Are you sure about this?” Thunder’s voice came softly from behind her. He was seated on the couch, dressed in casual jeans and a light jacket, but his alert posture and clenched jaw revealed his readiness for anything.“I have to be,” she replied, fixing the small transmitter to the inside of her blouse. “This ends today. For good.”Thunder stood and approached her, placing his hands gently on her waist. “I know what you’re trying to do. But if something goes wrong, you give me the signal. You hear me?”Summer nodded, her v

Chapter: Chapter 4The morning sunlight filtered through the glass windows of Thunder’s penthouse, casting golden streaks across the floor. But the warmth did little to thaw the coldness in Summer’s chest. She stood near the balcony, arms wrapped tightly around herself, staring blankly at the skyline of Toronto.A few days had passed since she had that emotional breakdown in Thunder’s arms, and even though he hadn’t brought up the proposal again, the memory lingered—unshakable, haunting. Thunder was still the same: gentle when needed, firm when she drifted into fear, and always present. But something had shifted.Summer could feel it.A small part of her wanted to run again.“Coffee?” Thunder’s deep voice called from behind.She turned her head slowly. His towering figure leaned against the kitchen doorway, two steaming mugs in hand, blue-gray eyes locked onto hers. Despite the simple black shirt and messy hair, he looked devastatingly calm—and it unsettled her.“Thanks,” she whispered, walking toward h

Chapter: Chapter 3Summer hadn’t slept a wink.She sat at the edge of her bed, her knees pulled to her chest, her phone clutched tightly in her trembling hands. The text was still there—taunting, mocking, haunting her.“Miss me?” — L.X.Two words and a pair of initials had sent her spiraling into memories she tried so hard to bury. Her heart had been shattered before, but Lava Xovert had been the one to throw it off a cliff with a smile on his lips and ambition in his eyes.She never thought she'd hear from him again.After their ruined wedding—after the shame, the humiliation, and the trauma—she thought the universe had buried that chapter. She wanted it buried. But now it clawed its way back from the grave.Lava was the kind of man who thrived on power. He didn’t just leave her; he broke her. And she had spent years trying to tape herself back together.And now Thunder…Thunder, who had done nothing but care for her without asking for anything in return, was slowly rebuilding something inside her.

Chapter: Chapter 2The sound of seagulls filled the salty air as Summer sat cross-legged on the edge of the wooden pier. Her fingers absently skimmed the water, her thoughts drifting with each ripple. Canada had always been a place of healing for her—a fresh start, a quiet escape. But lately, even the cold wind brushing her skin didn’t feel enough to numb the ache she carried.She had been doing fine—at least that’s what she kept telling herself.But healing didn’t always mean forgetting.It had been two years since Oasis died. Two long years of dragging herself through therapy sessions, journaling in silence, and clenching her fists at night to stop herself from screaming. Her PTSD had become a quiet monster—lurking, breathing, watching her every time she dared to be happy again.Especially when Thunder Voldizépeña entered her life.She met him in the most unexpected way—after spilling coffee on his tailored suit in a café near her parents’ home. She was too exhausted to apologize properly. But he smil

Chapter: Chapter 1The sound of the rain was deafening. It poured relentlessly against the windowpane of Summer Skyton’s small lakeside cabin. She sat curled up on the couch, a cup of untouched tea in her hands, her thoughts lost in the gray storm outside. Her eyes, though distant, glistened with unshed tears. Again. Always again.She let out a shaky breath, pressing her back against the cold cushions. This place was supposed to be her sanctuary, her escape, her healing ground. But it had become a mirror—every silence, every quiet corner, just reflected the chaos in her heart.“Why does love always end with heartbreak?” she whispered to herself, her voice barely audible over the rain.She came to this place—north of Vancouver—to run from the pain. Two months ago, her fiancé, Oasis Gramper, died of lung cancer. He was the man who had made her believe love could be kind, love could be safe. Their meeting had been serendipitous: both seeking solace, both running from ghosts. Their time together was short,
