Sweet Love Romance Web Novels & Badboy Stories

She never expected to walk into the towering headquarters of Velmore Holdings — and come face-to-face with the boy who made her high school years a living nightmare. Audrey Lorraine Aquino worked hard to build a quiet, independent life, leaving behind the humiliation and heartbreak of her teenage years. But when financial desperation forces her to take a secretary position at the city’s most powerful empire, she finds herself reporting directly to Simon Rafael Velmore — the cold, ruthless CEO, and the very same boy who once made her feel small. The son of the billionaire elite, Simon had everything — wealth, power, and a cruel streak that targeted her above everyone else. Years have passed, but the tension between them is thicker than ever. Simon is no longer just a schoolyard bully — he’s a man who controls empires, with a gaze that still unsettles her and a temper that terrifies everyone around him. Yet beneath his sharp suit and icy demeanor, Audrey begins to see something she never expected: a man haunted by his past, and a heart that has beaten for her since the very beginning. He bullied her to hide how much he cared. She stayed away to protect herself. Now, trapped in the same office, forced to work side by side, the walls they built around their hearts begin to crumble. But when old secrets, family pressure, and dangerous rivals threaten to tear them apart — can Simon redeem himself and win the forgiveness he never deserved? Or will the pain of their past destroy the love that was always meant to be theirs? He was my bully first. Now he’s my boss — and the only one who can save me.

Elise Reyes, 26, Fine Arts graduate sa PUP. P2.3 milyong utang sa ospital. Nanay na may sakit sa bato na kailangan ng dialysis. Anton Villarica, 34, billionaire CEO ng Villarica Land Corp. May-ari ng kalahati ng BGC. Cold, suplado, at hindi na marunong ngumiti simula nang mamatay ang fiancée niya. Magkaibang mundo. Pero pinagtagpo ng isang kasinungalingan. Nagsinungaling si Elise sa resume para makapasok bilang EA na may P80,000 na sweldo. Nahuli siya ni Anton sa loob ng 30 segundo. Pero imbes na sibakin, inalok siya ng trabahong hindi niya inasahan — maging pekeng asawa niya sa loob ng 30 araw kapalit ng P3 milyon. Kailangan ni Anton ng asawa para manahin ang 200 ektarya ng lupa sa Batangas ng lolo niyang may sakit. Kailangan ni Elise ng pera para mabuhay ang nanay niya. Pumirma sila ng kontrata. Rule #1: Bawal mainlove sa CEO. Rule #2: Bawal makialam sa buhay ng isa't isa. Rule #3: Bawal humalik sa labi kung hindi kailangan. Akala ni Elise, madali lang magpanggap. Ngumiti sa harap ng lolo, humawak ng kamay, matulog sa iisang bubong sa hacienda sa Batangas habang umuulan. Pero paano kung yung pekeng tawa ni Anton sa harap ng lolo niya, nagiging totoong tawa na pag silang dalawa na lang? Paano kung yung paghawak niya sa kamay ni Elise para magpanggap, ayaw na niyang bitawan pag wala nang nanonood? At paano kung malaman ni Elise na alam na pala ni Anton simula pa lang na nagsinungaling siya — at ang P3 milyon ay hindi kabayaran, kundi simula ng paniningil ng puso? Isang kontrata. Tatlumpung araw. At isang kasalanan na hindi nila mapigilan — ang mahulog sa taong bawal nilang mahalin. *Hindi kasalanan maging CEO. Pero kasalanan ba ang mahalin siya?*
