***
When Noah Gonzaga, a 22-year-old model, moves into his mother’s new husband’s house, he never expected to gain a stepbrother who is eight years older than he is and is clearly unwilling to welcome him. From the start, he already knew Kayden didn’t want him there. Well, Noah felt the same. He hated this entire messed-up situation.
If it weren’t for his mother, Noah would have never agreed to live under the same roof as her new family. However, he couldn’t just let her stay alone with a man she’d married after knowing him for six months.
What he didn’t expect even more was to end up in his stepbrother’s bed one night, completely lost in the desire to be owned by him, forgetting entirely how much they hated each other.
They hated each other, yes, but they also hated how their bodies couldn’t resist each other’s desires, even when they knew it was wrong.

Chapter: Chapter 133NOAH“Perfect,” I muttered, staring at the cake I had just baked.It was my birthday, so I decided to make one myself. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction—over the years, I’d gotten better at cooking, and this one turned out just right.I cut a few slices and transferred them into food containers. After a quick shower, I stepped outside to deliver them to my neighbors—I couldn’t possibly eat the whole cake myself. They all greeted me warmly as I walked around.“Markus?” I called as I approached his house.He opened the door immediately, greeting me first with that familiar, knowing smile.“Morning, birthday boy,” he said, his voice soft and teasing.I nudged him playfully, and he just laughed. I handed him the container.“Yours is the biggest slice. Be grateful,” I said with a grin.He accepted it. “Thanks. I feel so special, even if it’s not my birthday.”Markus was a great cook and the first person who had introduced me to Swiss cuisine. I still remembered the first rec

Chapter: Chapter 132My father. My hand immediately formed into a fist. He was standing there, staring at me. The simple clothes he wore were torn and filthy. His hair hung in tangled clumps, stiff and brittle, as if he hadn’t touched water in years. His eyes and lips were swollen, and dried blood crusted much of his face. Bruises covered every inch of his body. He barely looked like Clyden Salvador—the proud, successful, intimidating man I once knew. Instead, he looked like a beggar. Pathetic. And yet… I felt nothing but satisfaction. I walked toward him, keeping my expression calm. “What are you doing here?” I asked coldly. “Son… my son…” he murmured. I almost laughed. Son? I could hardly stomach the reality that he was, in fact, my father. “Don’t insult me with that, old man,” I spat back. “I… need your help,” he whimpered, clutching his stomach. He couldn’t even form words properly; his injuries and swollen lips made speech a struggle. “Who did this to you?” I demanded. “Who among the people

Chapter: Chapter 131KAYDEN When Noah left me, my life lost its direction all over again.Every morning, the first thing I looked for when I opened my eyes was his face. Whenever I came home after work, he was the one I expected to see waiting for me. I stopped going home to my own condo; instead, I kept returning to his.His smile, his voice, the warmth of his touch… I missed them every minute of every day. There were nights when the silence inside that place almost drove me insane.To keep myself from completely losing it, I buried myself in work. I spent most of my days at the office, drowning in meetings, paperwork, and anything that could keep my mind occupied. As long as I was busy, I didn’t have to think about how empty everything felt without him.It wasn’t easy, but I kept holding on to the words he told me before he left.He said he would come back. We’re still gonna get married. That promise was the only thing keeping me sane.I continued living like that, repeating the same routine day after

Chapter: Chapter 130Three years later… It was a bright Sunday morning. I stretched my arms above my head and let out a long yawn before stepping out onto the small wooden terrace, a mug of coffee warming my hands. I sat down on the old bench beside the railing and watched the sun slowly climb over the mountains. From here, the view was breathtaking. Massive peaks stood proudly in the distance while a soft blanket of morning fog drifted through the valley below. I took a slow sip of my coffee and let my mind wander. Three years ago, I made a decision I once thought I would regret for the rest of my life: I terminated the remaining years of my contract with my agency and left the country. At the time, I told myself it would only be for a year. I just needed distance from everything. I needed time to breathe. I needed peace. Switzerland was supposed to be temporary, but the countryside had a different plan for me. I ended up falling in love with it more than I ever expected. The silence, the nature, an

Chapter: Chapter 129Zade: Dude @Noah, you good? You wanna grab a drink or something?Wat: Don’t take those negative comments personally. They don’t know you the way we do. We got your back, bro.I finally opened my phone to check messages after a while, and almost all of them were from friends and people checking up on me.I didn’t reply and instead opened my mom’s message.From: MomHow are you, Noah?I want to visit you, but I know you might want some alone time to clear your head. Call me if you need me—I’m just one call away.I know Kayden won’t leave your side, so make sure you take care of yourself too. Don’t pay attention to what other people are saying. You know who you are. We, the people close to you, know too.I saw unread messages from Franco and Aya, but I didn’t bother opening them.Then my body tensed as a message popped up from someone I least wanted to hear from.Clarisse: This is your last day.

Chapter: Chapter 128“I know it was your boyfriend who leaked that video, but that happened because of you.”“That was years ago,” I said quickly.“That may have been years ago, but he still did it!” she snapped. “Do you even know how that ruined my life and my career? I didn’t just lose my job; I lost myself too!”Her breathing grew heavier as anger filled her voice.“Do you know what it feels like to walk into a room and see judgment in every person’s eyes? My privacy was completely violated, and even now, people still use that video as an excuse to disrespect me!”For a moment, all the anger I had brought with me disappeared. I knew where she was coming from. I had seen how she disappeared from the spotlight and slowly rebuilt herself from the lowest point of her life, just like I was trying to do now.But I never wanted that to happen to her… so why did I have to suffer for it?“I didn’t mean for any of that to happen. I tried to stop him. I didn’t think he would actually do it.”“Shut up!” she yelled

He Divorced Me, Then Begged Me Back
“Is it really impossible for you to love me? Even a little?” I sounded desperate.
His lips curled into a mocking grin. “Love you? Don’t be ridiculous. I would never love a desperate woman like you. Amanda’s my everything. And you? You are nothing.”
***
Angel Elowyn Montero and Gideon Elwood were once good friends until marriage ruined everything they had.
To Gideon, she was the reason his life was ruined and the reason the woman he loved never returned. Their marriage was loveless and detached. Despite everything, she held on to the hope that he would eventually love her too.
His family, except for his parents, despised Angel as well. In the mansion, she was treated worse than a servant by his siblings, who bossed her around and even hurt her physically.
Until one day, she finally had enough.
She grew tired of hoping for a love that would never be reciprocated. So, when her husband handed her divorce papers again, she did not think twice and signed them.
Only after she was gone did Gideon realize his own feelings. He loved her far more than he had ever allowed himself to admit. But by then, it was too late. He no longer knew where his ex-wife was.
Years later, she returned.
Angel was no longer the fragile woman who endured everything for the sake of love. She came back as someone entirely different: fierce, bold, independent.
Now, the tables had finally turned.
He loved her, and he was determined to win her back.

Chapter: Chapter 21ANGEL As we ate, I kept my head down, quietly listening while they chatted.“How have you been, Amanda? I heard you have an upcoming series. Congratulations in advance; I’m sure it’ll top the ratings again,” George said, steering the conversation.“Thank you. We just finished filming it. It’s coming out in the next two months,” Amanda replied.“Who’s your co-star again? Jacob? James?” Mama guessed. “I heard you’re being linked to him… Are you two together?”Amanda shook her head, laughing softly. “Jaime, Auntie… And no, we’re not together. Those were all just false rumors. You know… fans creating stories to feed their delusions, as usual.”“Why are you still single? You’re beautiful and successful—it’s hard to believe you don’t have a boyfriend right now,” George teased.“That’s not my priority,” she said calmly.“Or maybe you’re waiting for someone? Right, Gideon?” Zenaida said, flicking her gaze toward him.

Chapter: Chapter 20ANGEL I lost track of time as I stared at myself in the mirror. Unsatisfied with one outfit, I changed into another. Still, nothing seemed right.I let out a long, frustrated sigh as I studied myself again. Oddly, I felt tears threatening to spill—frustration clawing at me.It’s only a casual lunch at the house, but I want to look my best knowing Amanda will be present.I stood and walked toward the closet to pick out another outfit when someone spoke.“You’ve been trying on different clothes for an hour already. When are you actually going to decide? Watching you is making me dizzy,” Gideon said, clearly irritated.I glanced at him. He was sitting at his desk, eyes glued to his laptop.“Sorry,” I muttered, letting my shoulders slump as I returned to the vanity table.I pulled out the makeup I’d bought last week, along with my skincare products. I’d been practicing on my own, hoping that if I looked more like s

Chapter: Chapter 19ANGEL Later that night, I sat quietly on the couch, sneaking glances at Gideon. He was on the bed, completely absorbed in his phone. I could hear the soft tapping of his fingers against the screen as he typed.Who was he talking to?Was it… Amanda?“Uh…” I cleared my throat. “Gideon…”He lifted his eyes to me, his expression unreadable. “What?” he asked flatly.“Can I ask you a favor?”His brows furrowed. “What?”I hesitated for a second before gathering my courage. “Since our anniversary is on the fifteenth… can you take the day off? Maybe we could go somewhere?” I suggested.His eyes narrowed slightly. The small spark of hope inside me flickered.“You’re asking me out on a date, aren’t you?” he said, his tone almost mocking.I bit my lower lip and nodded slowly. Everything was set, except for the couple's bracelet, which was yet to arrive.“I’m busy,” he said coldly. “I hav

Chapter: Chapter 18ANGEL “Angel!” Gideon’s mom exclaimed.She immediately pulled me into a tight hug. I hugged her back, feeling comforted. Behind her was her husband, standing quietly and watching us. I smiled at him, and he gave a small smile in return.When she finally let go, her face radiated warmth. “I missed you, hija.”“I missed you too, Auntie,” I replied.Her smile shifted to a frown. “Hey, remember? I told you to call me ‘Mama,’ right?”I couldn’t help but chuckle. She always insisted that I call her “Mama,” but I still felt shy about it.“Okay, Mama.” “Perfect!” she clapped, clearly satisfied.I turned my attention to Gideon’s dad and offered a warm smile again.“Welcome back,” I said.“Thanks, Angel. My wife has been missing everyone in this house so much, especially you,” he replied kindly.Hearing that, a warmth bloomed inside me. The way Gideon’s parents treated me made it feel as though my own parents were beside me, welcoming me as their daughter.“How about me, Mom, Dad? Don’t you m

Chapter: Chapter 17ANGEL I only had a few things, so moving them into his room didn’t take that much time. Gideon was still in the bathroom, which gave me a chance to look around. The room was painted in gray and white, and the furniture was simple and minimalist. A smile stretched across my lips. Finally, I got to be in the same room with him again. Throughout almost three years of marriage, this had barely happened once a year. I had to thank his parents for coming over.My eyes drifted to the bed. When would I be able to lie beside him like other couples? Would I ever be given a chance to hug and kiss him one day… or was that just a foolish dream of mine?“It’s okay,” I convinced myself. “At least we’re in the same room.”While waiting for Gideon to finish, I tidied up the couch. His parents were not here yet, but he told me to sleep here since they might arrive early in the morning.“You wanna take a shower?”I was startled by the sudden voice. Gideon was standing outside the bathroom, hands runni

Chapter: Chapter 16GIDEONI went home earlier than usual after realizing I’d left some important files on my desk, never expecting what awaited me there.I sat in my car, meters away from the mansion’s towering gate. My eyes narrowed as I stared at Angel standing there, smiling widely as she raised her thumb at someone inside a car parked near the entrance. The windows were tinted, hiding whoever was inside.The car roared away, leaving her behind. Once it was out of sight, she turned and walked inside as if nothing had happened. Instead of following her in to get what I came for, I pulled out my phone and dialed someone’s number. I gave him the car’s plate number and ordered him to find out who owned it.Later that night, I got my answer.My grip tightened around my phone when the name was mentioned.Rowan Caldwell.My jaw clenched as questions flooded my mind. What did they do? Where did they go? Were they alone the entire time? Did she

Chapter: Chapter 17I didn’t go back to his house that day, leaving my phone with him. Good thing I had a spare to use in the meantime. Two days had already passed, and part of me still hoped he would show up at my door and apologize. I would stand outside my house around the time he usually got home from work, hoping that if he saw me, he might finally realize his mistake and say something. But since his ego was too high, he would just ignore me as if he had done nothing wrong. The last bit of hope I had finally crashed when another day passed, and he still hadn’t approached me. Before I knew it, I was already standing in front of his door, knocking before I could change my mind. I needed my phone back. All my contacts were saved there. I barely managed two knocks when the door opened. He stood there, looking just as composed as ever. Without a word, I raised my palm in front of him. He looked at it, then lifted his gaze to my face, his expression unreadable. “My phone,” I said coolly. He blinked

Chapter: Chapter 16“Hey! Open the damn door. I have good news!” I shouted, pounding insistently against Xerces’s front door. He swung it open, irritation written all over his face. “What?” “I have good news,” I repeated, brushing past him without waiting for an invitation and stepping inside. He closed the door behind me with a sharp click. “And what exactly is that?” “I saw your ex earlier this morning.” His jaw clenched. Instead of asking me about the details of how I met her, he asked, “What did you do?” Was he seriously expecting me to harm her? “Relax. I didn’t do anything to her,” I said, rolling my eyes. “You’re acting like I’d jump at the chance to ruin her life the second I see her.” He didn’t look convinced. His eyes stayed narrowed, wary. “We exchanged a few words after I introduced myself to her,” I continued, leaning casually against the wall. “And guess what? She got subtly jealous. I knew it. She still has feelings for you,” I proudly said. “Why would she?” he asked, his voice fl

Chapter: Chapter 15I stopped by a café to grab coffee before heading to work when I suddenly bumped into someone. The cup tilted in my hand, but thankfully, the coffee didn’t spill on his clothes. When I looked up, I was met with a familiar face. “Altagracia?” His face lit up. “It’s nice to see you again.” My brows slightly furrowed as I studied him. I knew him. I was sure of it. The problem was, I couldn’t remember where we had met. “I’m sorry. Who are you?” I asked. He let out a soft laugh and rubbed his brows, looking almost shy. “I knew it. You don’t recognize me anymore.” “So who are you?” I repeated my question. “Apollo,” he replied, extending his hand for a handshake. I glanced at his hand and then back at his face. “Apollo what?” I meet a lot of people every month, so I couldn’t really remember each of their names. “Apollo Vergara.” The name tugged at something in my memory. I scanned him from head to toe, trying to place him, but it still wouldn’t fully click. “From high school,” he

Chapter: Chapter 14I wrapped my arms around his neck and moved my lips as well. His hand was warm against my jaw and chin. His kisses weren’t rough, but they were passionate. I was sober, but his kisses were drowning me in drunkenness. My mind was so hazy, and all I could think about right now was the way his lips felt on mine. He cupped my buttocks and lifted me up to sit on the backrest of the couch. He caressed my legs. My mouth parted when he fondled my breasts over my clothes. Soft moans escaped my mouth as he sucked on my skin. “Do not leave marks,” I whispered. He didn’t listen and continued what he was doing. I wrapped my legs around him and pushed him closer to me. I heard him growl as I felt his bulge. Just as I thought we were gonna do it, he broke the kiss. We were both breathing heavily, catching our breaths. My eyes were heavy as I looked at him. Meanwhile, he kept his intense gaze locked on mine. “Sera is a good kisser. She wouldn’t be jealous of someone who doesn’t even know how to

Chapter: Chapter 13My gaze went past him. Xerces was standing there, his hands in his pockets, and his eyes were cold as he stared at us. Gavin tilted his head toward Xerces’ direction. One side of his lip lifted, as if he were not pleased. He let out a low, mocking laugh. “So here comes my fucking scheming brother.” Xerces’ face didn’t even flinch, completely unaffected. He strode over and took Gavin’s hand off my arm. “The next time you fucking lay your hand on my girlfriend, I wouldn’t hesitate to let my fist land on your face,” he threatened. His words made Gavin smirk. “You’re ridiculously full of yourself. Is that because you’ve managed to snag one of my exes again? Sorry to burst your bubble, but she’s just using you to move on from me,” he said cockily. My jaw tightened. Instead of responding to his brother, Xerces looked at me. “Let’s go, love,” he said softly. He led me to his car and opened the door for me. “Wait for me here. I’ll just get our things inside, okay?” I nodded quietly,

Chapter: Chapter 12I received the payment that same day. Considering how many restaurants he runs, I knew it was just a drop in the bucket. I turned my phone on and messaged Xerces about my plans for tomorrow. Ruelle: Clear your schedule tomorrow. We’re going somewhere. 10 a.m. onward. He replied almost right away. Xerces: What for? Ruelle: I heard Gavin is taking my sister out on a date tomorrow. Xerces: You want me to cancel everything I have going on just to go along with your craziness? I couldn’t see his face, but I could picture the irritation all over it. I could only sigh at his nagging. Ruelle: Please? Ruelle: I’ll pay for your time. Tell me your price. Xerces: Can you afford three hundred thousand? I gasped. That was way too much! Ruelle: That’s a lot, you asshole! Any discounts? Xerces: None. Take it or leave it. I rolled my eyes. I had no choice but to agree. I got a hundred thousand from him, but apparently, it was only for him to take it back with triple the return. The next
