The Woman He Broke
"If you are going to enter my world, be ready to play my game," Mago warned, his eyes gleaming with danger, "If you can't keep up, then you'll have to endure the pain."
MAGO CONCEPCION—ruthless, seductive, and incapable of love. He believed emotions were a weakness, and I, ARLENE MEJORADA, believed I could change him. I was the woman who thought I could heal him with my love, drawn in by his dangerous allure that I couldn't resist.
I was a willing victim, drawn into his world of power and temptation. I convinced myself that I could handle the pain, that I could survive his cruel, calculating ways. But love doesn't always conquer all. Yet, my determination was unwavering.
Soon, I found myself breaking. Piece by piece, he tore through my heart, leaving me shattered and empty, a shadow of the woman I once was. I wanted to save him, but in the end, I was the one who needed saving.
This is my story—of how I gave him everything until nothing was left of me. Now I face the choice: do I pick up the pieces and walk away, or keep letting him destroy what’s left of me? My name is ARLENE MEJORADA, and I was willing to endure anything for love. Until I wasn’t.

Chapter: 97- The Mistress Was FakeARLENE’S POVJust like the past few mornings, I pretended to be asleep the moment I woke up.But today felt different.The space beside me was cold.Empty.Slowly, I opened my eyes just enough to confirm what I already suspected—and annoyingly enough, disappointment immediately settled in my chest.Seriously?Was it that easy for him?After everything that happened last night—after all the crying, the confessions, the emotional drama—he still chose to drink with Dessa and Quinn instead of staying beside me?I clicked my tongue in irritation as I sat up slowly.Well, what exactly did you expect from Mago Concepcion?He wasn’t the type to become cheesy just to make someone feel loved.This was still Mago Concepcion.The same emotionally constipated man who used to think buying expensive things counted as romance.Still…a tiny,

Chapter: 96 – Love Isn’t Enough AnymoreMAGO’S POVI could still hear Dessa and Quinn laughing loudly in the garden.Honestly, I should’ve been there with them. I was the one who invited the two idiots to drink in the first place. But the second Arlene walked away from me, looking like every word I said only hurt her more, I couldn’t stay seated anymore.Not when I finally understood what pushed her into giving up on us.Now that I knew the truth—now that I understood what she saw, what she believed, what shattered her—I had even more reason to fight for her.This wasn’t going to be easy. I knew that.Maybe I deserved every cruel thing she said to me tonight.Maybe I deserved worse.But this wasn’t the time to lose courage.Because for the first time in my life, I was absolutely certain of one thing:I loved Arlene.Not out of obsession.Not because I was angry.Not because I wanted to possess her.I loved her because somewhere along the way, she became my home.And now that I finally understood that…I couldn’t lose her.M

Chapter: 95 – Caught on CameraMAGO’S POVI couldn’t stop myself from getting irritated while watching Arlene and Dessa feed each other across the table like some disgustingly sweet couple.I cooked Arlene’s favorite breakfast myself.My wife’s favorite breakfast.And instead of focusing on me, she invited her so-called girlfriend to sit beside her at the dining table.If Dessa had been a man, I would’ve already dealt with her the same way I dealt with every other idiot who tried getting close to Arlene before. But Dessa was a woman—and no matter how irritated she made me, I couldn’t bring myself to handle her the way I handled men. Hurting men was easy. Men understood violence, threats, fear. But women… that was different. I was many things, but I wasn’t the kind of man who raised his hand against a woman just because jealousy was driving me insane.“Dessa, you’re washing the dishes later

Chapter: 94 – Devoured TearsARLENE’S POVI didn’t mean to wake up.But his whisper pulled me out of sleep before I could stop it.“I was such a f*cking idiot for taking out my anger toward your father on you,” he murmured softly, unaware that I was already awake.I kept my eyes closed.Kept pretending.Because somehow, hearing him say things like this hurt more than the silence he used to give me.“I’m so sorry for being such a jerk,” he continued, his voice rough with exhaustion. “Please… just give me one more chance.” I felt the mattress dip slightly as he moved closer. “I swear I’ll do everything I can to make you whole again.”My chest tightened painfully.“If I have to spend the rest of my life serving you, I will,” he whispered shakily. “Just love me again, Arlene. Not only for me… but for our child too.”Tears

Chapter: 93 - By Fixing You, I Broke MyselfARLENE’S POVI couldn’t stop thinking about what happened yesterday.I had exhausted Mago on purpose, hoping he’d finally give up on this ridiculous deal between us. I made him do one thing after another, fully expecting him to lose patience eventually.But he didn’t.He did everything I asked without complaining.And somehow… that made things worse.When I saw him asleep beside me last night, part of me felt guilty. He hadn’t even managed to wait for me to come upstairs. After showering and fixing the room, he must’ve fallen asleep immediately from exhaustion.The sun was already high when I woke up the next morning, but I kept my eyes closed.This was the first time in months that I had woken up beside him again.And I hated how much my heart noticed it.I wanted to prepare myself first because I couldn’t allow this to become normal again. I could

Chapter: 92 - A Dangerous Kind of PeaceMAGO’S POVIt was still dark when I opened my eyes.Exhaustion must have knocked me out completely after my shower last night because I hadn’t moved once until now. Arlene had me running around nonstop the entire evening, giving me one task after another. Not that I could complain.I was still trying to earn points with my wife.The thought alone made me smile.I turned towards her slowly—and the sight waiting for me instantly softened something inside my chest.Even without me forcing her…she still ended up sleeping beside me.Carefully, I shifted closer until our faces were only inches apart. Arlene was still deeply asleep, her breathing soft and steady. The faint moonlight slipping through the curtains painted her face gently, making her look calmer than she had been since returning home.Peaceful.Fragile.Mine.No.I stopped myself before the thought could settle too deeply.Still… I couldn’t deny the overwhelming happiness swelling inside me just from having her here beside me,

Sold to My Ex-Husband
Seven years ago... I was his stalker.
Three years ago... I was his wife.
Two years ago... I was his ex-wife.
Since the day he left me, my life has never been the same. It seems like I gathered all life's misfortunes - my mother died from cancer, our family business went down, and my dad could not face the shame, so he killed himself, leaving me to take on the responsibilities of paying his debts. I have to work hard to make ends meet. I worked as a baker, a dance instructor, and an entertainer to pay the debts as well as to support myself. I was trying to be okay until he came back. He manipulated everything - owned the bakeshop where I worked as a baker, paid me to give him private dance classes, and made me agree to perform in private with him. Do you think that is already worse? Nah-uh! He paid my family's debt in the banks, so I am obliged to pay him based on his terms.
I am Patricia Sandoval, sold to Stuart Cordoval - I am his personal assistant, private chef, personal dance instructor, exclusive entertainer, and on-call bedwarmer for my beloved ex-husband. This may sound absurd, but yes, I am sold to my ex-husband.

Chapter: Sexual Sorbet*Stuart’s POV*I can’t measure my happiness while watching my wife sleep in my arms. I caressed her face as I admired her delicate features. She moved and tried to cover her face with a pillow, but I stopped her.”Stuart,” she complained, ”I am still sleepy.””What? I didn’t do anything,” I replied.”You are seducing me, mister!” she opened her eyes and squinted at me.”Seducing? I have not even started it yet,” I pulled her closer to me, ”but if you are already seduced, why don’t we do what we did last night.””You’re crazy!” he lightly punched me on my arm, ”I told you, I am still sleepy,” she pouted.”Hmm,” I kissed her forehead, ”I love you.””Love you too,” she said, now closing her eyes, ”but can your hands behave? They are being naughty.””Really?” I smiled, ”guess my hands now have their own minds.””Stuart!”Damn, that was sexy! I liked it whenever she uttered my name. I did not stop myself anymore. I held her chin and tasted her lips. She responded to my kiss and brushed her

Chapter: Show Me the Way 1*Patricia’s POV*A relieved smile was painted on his face as he said, ”Love, I love you too, but let me just finish my proposal, okay?”Tears flowed from my eyes as I shook my head, ”I love you so much that I can’t let you have a damaged heart.”His smile quickly faded, ”Love, please,” he pleaded.I was about to answer, but someone from behind interrupted, ”I will not allow you to embarrass my son to everyone, Patricia.”I turned to see the angry face of Stuart’s father as he said, ”Stuart, get up!”His voice was filled with authority that even when he was not holding a microphone, everyone could still hear him.”I-I’m sorry, Mr. Cordoval,” I blurted out, ”but I think this is what’s best for all of us.””Who told you that this is the best?” his voice roared across the hall, ”you signed a contract.””Is this about the contract wherein your son bought all my services?” I tried to make my voice firm.”I am not referring to that contract, Patricia,” he answered.I do not know what he was

Chapter: Show Me the Way 1*Stuart’s POV*I swallowed my pride and stayed persistent because I did not want to give up on pursuing Patricia. For more than four years, she has been my stalker, not giving up no matter how I tried to drive her away; now that the table has been turned, I cannot just give up this easily. Seeing her in my office daily was good, even if she treated me coldly. She wants everything kept on a professional level, so I decided to assign the preparations for the company’s anniversary party to her. That way, she will be too preoccupied to notice me watching her. There is still pain in her eyes, and I hate it because I know that I was the one that caused her all those pain.I wished I could turn back time. I wished I could undo everything I had done to her. I wished I had known better before.”Is the mini stage ready?” I heard her ask her assistant, ” How about the menu? Is everything ready?”She gave out a relieved smile every time her assistant confirmed positively. She obviously loved what

Chapter: Blacklisted 2*Patricia’s POV*”Good morning, Miss Pat,” the secretary greeted me, ” Sir Stuart has been waiting for you since he arrived this morning,” she continued as she opened the door for me.”Love,” Stuart stood as soon as he saw me.”Stay right there,” I said, ”first condition, stay away from me. It would be much better if you maintain a certain distance between us.””If that will make you stay, I will do it,” he answered.”That’s another one,” I pointed out, ”I am here to work, so if it is time for work, don’t do anything that will make my work awkward. Treat me as an employee. And lastly, I demand a break. That means I should not be with you all the time. If you agree with my conditions, I can start now.””Everything’s clear,” he said, ”but I already have a secretary, so you’ll do your usual work assignments besides being a secretary.”I don’t know why I felt jealous, knowing he kept his secretary even if I was already there. I should be glad my workload will be lessened, but why am I dis

Chapter: Blacklisted*Patricia’s POV*”Patricia Sandoval,” the agent called my name. I have tried applying for a job but to no avail. I have not received any invitation for an interview. This is why I tried relying on a job placement agency. This way, I could probably get a chance to land a job that suits my qualifications.”I am sorry,” the agent handed me my application, ”we cannot hire you.””W-what? What do you mean?” I was confused.”I am not authorized to tell you the details,” she lowered her head as if she was guilty of something.”Don’t you have anyone whom I can talk to? I need to know what is wrong with my applications. Why am I rejected? This seems to be the same with the other companies I have applied for.””I will be honest with you,” she whispered, ”your resume is good, but I think there is a problem with your employment history. When we entered your name, it says there that you are blacklisted.”BLACKLISTED. Only one person came to mind when I heard the word. Stuart is the only person capa
