12 Hours Artinya

After catching her fiancé cheating with her best friend just hours before their wedding, Flora walked away from everything—her dream, her reputation, and the man she thought she’d spend forever with. Desperate to escape the heartbreak, umalis siya ng lungsod, determined to forget… kahit sa loob ng isang gabi lang. Pero hindi niya inakala na ang gabing iyon ay magbabago ng lahat, dahil doon niya nakilala ang lalaking hindi niya dapat gustuhin — Damien Garcia. He was everything she shouldn’t want—rich, ruthless, dangerously charming. The kind of man who could ruin anyone who dared cross him. Yet in his arms, Flora felt something she hadn’t felt in years—safe… seen… alive. Dapat isang gabi lang iyon ng pagkakamali—pagkakamaling mawawala pagdating ng umaga. Pero parang may ibang plano ang tadhana. Ilang araw lang ang lumipas, sa engagement party ng kaniyang ina, bumagsak muli ang mundo ni Flora nang muling nakita ang lalaki. Nalaman niyang siya pala ang bagong stepbrother niya at ang bagong boss niya sa trabaho. Cold, demanding, and always in control, si Damien ang uri ng lalaking walang gustong kalabanin. Pero sa likod ng mga saradong pinto, ang lalaking iyon na kinatatakutan ng lahat — ang lalaking gustong angkinin si Flora nang buo. Alam niyang mali. Alam niyang dapat siyang lumayo. But obsession doesn’t care about rules… at ganoon din si Flora. Lalabanan ba ni Flora ang namumuong pag-ibig kay Damien, o susuko sa isang mapanganib na pagnanasa na maaaring sumira sa kanilang dalawa?

俺の嫁は俺よりも12歳も年下だ。 最初に結婚したとき、たくさんの友達が俺が若くて綺麗な女性を見つけたことを羨ましがっていた。それが俺にとっては誇らしくて、ほとんど何でもしてあげて彼女を甘やかしていた。 彼女は若く、遊びも派手で、刺激を求めるのが大好きだった。結婚してたった半年で、俺は彼女に疲れ果てて、こっそり栄養剤を飲むこともよくあった。 しかし最近、彼女は急に俺と寝ることを嫌がるようになり、「お腹の調子が悪い」とか「炎症を起こしている」とか言うようになった。俺は彼女を気遣っていたし、心の中では少しほっとしていた部分もあった。しかしある日の明け方、彼女が俺に隠れてトイレでひそかに自己満足しているのを見てしまった……

Madam Pratt, my mother-in-law, was in critical condition after a car accident, desperately needing surgery. However, as the lead surgeon, I—Lilianne Davis—stood by, casually scrolling through short videos on my phone. My best friend, Tiffany Owens, who was also a doctor, was far more anxious than I was. She grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the operating room. “Lily, why are you still stalling? Hurry up and save her!” I took a step back, clutching my stomach in pain as her face twisted in shock. “I have cramps so bad I can’t even stand. You do it.” In my last life, the moment I heard about Madam Pratt’s accident, I had swallowed a painkiller and rushed into surgery, working for hours to stabilize her. I had barely stepped away from the operating table when alarms blared. “Lilianne, what have you done? The patient is experiencing acute hemolysis!” “Call the family now!” Gareth Pratt stormed in, his face twisted with rage. He slapped me hard in the face. “Lil, you’re a professional surgeon, yet you gave my mother the wrong blood transfusion?!” I froze, reaching for Madam Pratt’s medical report to explain, only to find that the A-type blood I had seen before had somehow changed to B-type. The medical board arrived, and a blood test revealed traces of hallucinogens in my system. “Unbelievable! Taking illegal substances before surgery? That’s a cardinal sin for a doctor!” In the chaos, Emma Pratt, Gareth’s teenage sister, grabbed a scalpel and stabbed me multiple times. Blood gushed from my arteries, and I collapsed in a pool of crimson. As my vision faded, I couldn’t understand what had happened. I had never taken illegal drugs. Besides, I was absolutely certain of Madam Pratt’s blood type. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the moment right before stepping into the operating room.

When Tessa Shoreman read Henry Jennings' cancer report, she immediately paid her hard-earned money of sixty thousand to the hospital. She had saved the money from working part-time while she was in university. However, she was worried the money was not enough, so she held back her fear as she sold a kidney to the black market to get more. As she walked to the ward door with a heavy bag filled with cash, she heard shrill laughter coming from inside. "That cheap woman, Tessa Shoreman, got tricked by us again. Haha!" Tessa's hand gave pause right when she was about to push the door open. What did he mean by saying she was tricked? Tessa looked through the glass on the door to see inside the ward. When she left, the man looked extremely weak, but he was now sitting up lazily in bed. Henry had a cigarette in his mouth, and he was blowing smoke rings nonchalantly. He did not look like a cancer patient at all. "It's been two years, and that woman still has no idea." "If she hadn't beaten Serene to first place, Henry would never have left behind his life as a rich heir and planned such an elaborate scheme to become a working-class man living in a cheap rental home. The way that cheap, penniless woman looks at Henry is so amusing." "We agreed that the punishment ends when Henry and Serene get engaged. It looks like time is almost up. We've probably punished her 108 times in the past two years." "The first time was lying to her that Henry didn't have a suit for a job interview. She worked tirelessly for 72 hours straight before she earned enough money for one, but that suit was given to the domestic help to use as a cleaning cloth. The second time was tricking her into believing Henry had a high fever. She forfeited during the finals of a scientific research competition to race home and take care of Henry in the hospital…" "Sigh. Too bad it's coming to an end. I'm going to miss entertaining myself with her."

A gorgeous new lawyer named Charlotte Lowell joins our law firm and claims she has been reborn. One day, a publicly listed company offers us a massive ten-million-dollar case. Charlotte warns our boss, Levi Howard, that the company has major issues. If we accept the case, we'll lose in court and be hit with a huge payout. Levi isn't sure if she's bluffing, but in the end, he listens and passes. The next day, that very company collapses. And the rival firm that took the case is hit with a compensation claim worth tens of millions of dollars. To celebrate dodging the bullet, Levi asks me to book a restaurant. But Charlotte immediately tells him not to go to that restaurant because that place is about to have a gas explosion. Hours later, the restaurant blows up just as she mentioned. News of it hits the trending list. After those two incidents, Levi is all-in on believing Charlotte's claim of having been reborn. In order to keep Charlotte, he gives her the executive position that was initially promised to me. When I hand in my resignation, Charlotte urges Levi to stop me. "If Yelena jumps to another firm, she'll use the resources she gained here to crush us. A year from now, we won't even have a firm left." Upon hearing Charlotte's words, my boyfriend and colleague, Finley Smith, steps forward to back her up. "Charlotte's right. I saw a job offer from Vera Legal in Yelena's email. She's really petty. If she joins Vera Legal, we'll surely face her revenge." Levi believes them and rejects my resignation. I file for labor arbitration, but it's no use. In the end, I'm demoted to a janitor at the firm. Driven by resentment, I fall into depression and end up hanging myself at the entrance of the firm. When I open my eyes again, I've gone back to the day Charlotte claims she has been reborn.
