Ever since my mom gave birth to her second child, everything in the household is tied to drawing lots. Everyone has to draw lots in order to decide whose favorite food will be served for each meal. We have to draw lots to see who among us gets a hug from our parents. Every time, I end up drawing the short end of the stick, so everyone automatically assumes that my younger sister, Anabelle Madden, gets the better lot. She easily reaps my parents' love without having to do anything at all. Whenever I feel like crying because of the injustice, Mom will scold me instantly. "I bought the lottery box because I was worried that you might feel upset about this. I'm doing this just to be fair to both of you. "If you want something, you have to be the one deciding who gets what. Your father and I won't interfere with your decision at all. Since you can't draw the better lot, that just means you have bad luck." Hence, I keep practicing my lot-drawing skills every day, hoping that I can eventually draw the better lot in order to obtain my parents' love. But for ten years, I never get to draw the better lot. Not even once. On my birthday, Anabelle wants to go to the amusement park, so Mom tells us to draw lots once again. I secretly glue two short lots together before giving it to Mom in an attempt to get her to stay with me. Instead, she slaps me and berates me for being a disobedient child who cheats in lot-drawing. Then, she leaves the house with Anabelle. When I fall to the floor, I feel the short sticks piercing through my neck.

Synopsis Katherine McQueen's world shattered when her father borrowed from Massimo Hollingsworth, a ruthless New York billionaire who commands the fearsome Hollingsworth dynasty. When Massimo arrived to collect his due, a tragic accident left him in a coma. Desperate and cornered, Katherine was forced into a marriage she never wanted. His powerful relatives plotted his death, certain he wouldn’t survive, eager to erase her as well by throwing her out once she becomes a widow. But Massimo did survive. When he awakened, the ice in his gaze was nothing compared to the fury in his heart. He recognized Katherine as the daughter of the man who orchestrated his accident. Hatred replaced reason. Cruelty became his weapon. “I heard you might be pregnant with my child already? Abort it. I don’t want a child from your wretched bloodline.” Devastated, Katherine fled, building a new life far from his shadow. But seven years later, fate played its cruel hand again. At a bustling amusement park, her brilliant young son, a boy who looked like a miniature Massimo, pointed to a man on stage. “Mom, why does that man look so much like me?” “Because he’s your uncle. But remember, never cross his path. He’s dangerous… he even threatened me while I carried you.” Yet her son was no fool. Taking matters into his own hands, he wrote a letter to Massimo. "You are my dad, but you terrified my mother while she was pregnant with me. What kind of father does that make you? I hate that I look so much like you. But guess what? I’ve come to stay and suffocate you.”

Mira Dela Cruz, isang determined pero struggling IT graduate mula sa probinsya, ay halos mawalan na ng pag-asa matapos ang sunod-sunod na job rejection—hanggang sa isang araw sa park, isang lalaking presentable at gwapo ang nagkamali ng akala sa kanya. Akala’y isa siyang bayarang babae. “Hi miss, if you’re available tonight... I’ll pay—just once.” Ito ang unang katagang binitawan ni Ethan Alexander Reyes—ang CEO ng isa sa kilalang successful IT company sa bansa. Isang lalaking seryoso, focused sa trabaho, at ni minsan ay hindi pa nagmahal. Hindi niya inakalang ang babaeng inalok niya ng isang gabi sa hotel ang magiging simula ng kanyang unang pag-ibig. Isang malakas na pagtangi ang tinanggap ni Ethan mula kay Mira nang hindi siya maniwala na isa siyang matinong babae. “Layuan mo ako! Kadiri ka. Baboy mo!” Ang hindi alam ni Mira ang lalaking iyon din pala ang magiging bago niyang boss, at siyang magbibigay sa kanya ng panibagong pag-asa. “I’ll match whatever the other companies offer, even higher—just say yes. I need someone like you here, Miss Mira Dela Cruz.” Ayaw man ni Mira na makatrabaho si Ethan, wala na siyang nagawa. Malaki ang oportunidad na dumating, at hindi niya ito kayang palampasin. Naniniwala si Ethan na ito’y tadhana—lalo’t pareho sila ng mundo. Simula pa lang, may naramdaman na siya. Love at first sight? Maybe. "Do you believe in destiny? Because I do. I just hope this time, I get it right."

Ofelia Rosario - I take pride in being smart, careful, and independent. Fostering a pregnant cat was supposed to be the one soft thing in my life—until the fire.

I’ve always believed I’m not built for love—too much loss, too many close calls. But she makes me want to try anyway.

Now Elara must become the wolf she was always meant to be not defined by a bond the Moon Goddess forced on her.

Do you know I could sue you for assault, Miss Athena? I have lots of witnesses who could testify about it." "You, just because you are a billionaire, you think you can command me.

Quando meu companheiro Alfa, Logan, percebeu que eu não havia submetido uma única solicitação de despesas em três dias, ele entrou em contato comigo por conta própria, pela primeira vez. — Baby, eu já aprovei a próxima fase do tratamento da sua loba. Está vendo? Se você se comportar, não há nada que eu não te dê. Seu tom de voz era afetuoso, como se ele realmente fosse um bom Alfa, preocupado com a sua companheira. Mas o que ele não sabia era que, quando ele disse "bebê", eu já havia terminado de redigir o acordo para romper nosso vínculo de companheiros. Antes de partir, a única coisa que eu consegui levar comigo foi uma velha camiseta, que eu costumava usar quando ele me marcou. Ninguém acreditaria que a adorada Luna da Alcateia Lua Negra, em apenas três anos desde a cerimônia, não conseguisse juntar cinco vestidos decentes que fossem realmente seus. Toda despesa de casa que eu fazia precisava ser aprovada com o selo da Luna, o símbolo do meu próprio poder. — Sienna, cuidar das contas é cansativo demais. Isso vai te desgastar. — Deixe a Chloe cuidar desse trabalho tedioso. Tudo que você precisa fazer é ficar bonita e ser a minha Luna perfeita. E assim, o selo da Luna que deveria ser meu, acabou se tornando algo que eu precisava implorar para a Chloe, a secretária do Alfa, que supostamente estava "lidando com o trabalho tedioso por mim". Três dias atrás, minha loba estava prestes a colapsar. Eu chorei e implorei pelos duzentos mil necessários para a cirurgia de intervenção. Mas Chloe deliberadamente reteve o selo, atrasando a aprovação sob a alegação de procedimento inadequado. Por fim, minha loba, já fraturada, ficou completamente silenciosa nas profundezas da minha alma. E ali eu soube: não havia mais nada entre mim e aquele Alfa.

Era meu aniversário. Eu achei que ele fosse me levar à praia para ver os fogos de artifício, mas ele levou outra mulher e a filha dela. — A Bruna tem uma filha, não é fácil para ela. Seja compreensível. Ela não conhece o caminho e tem muita bagagem. Vou levá-las ao hotel primeiro. — Ele falou isso com a maior leveza, como se estivesse explicando algo trivial. Era justamente essa leveza que fazia até mesmo a minha raiva parecer exagerada. Ele colocou as duas no carro, colocou pessoalmente o cinto de segurança da criança e, sorrindo para mim, disse: — Eu já volto, não fica imaginando coisa. Fiquei parada à beira da estrada, vendo eles partirem como se fossem uma família de verdade. A noite caiu, e a brisa do mar estava gelada. Eu ainda estava esperando, até que um vídeo da Bruna apareceu na minha tela. Ele estava abraçando a filha dela, na praia, assistindo à queima de fogos. Aquela cena era a surpresa que eu mesma tinha preparado para o meu aniversário. Nos comentários, só tinha: [São perfeitos juntos, uma família tão feliz] Alguém perguntou por que ele não tinha ido me buscar. Ele sorriu e respondeu: [A Camila tem bom temperamento, ela não vai se irritar] Naquele instante, meu bolo virou uma poça de glacê derretido. No fundo, ele nunca foi verdadeiramente cruel, ele só me tinha por garantida, como se eu o fosse esperar para sempre. Mas ser ignorada com delicadeza por tanto tempo esfriou meu coração. As ondas quebravam na costa, uma após a outra, e com elas se quebravam também as minhas últimas ilusões. Desta vez, eu não vou mais esperar ele voltar.
