Playing a game of vengeance is as hard as breaking a rock, especially when that game is equally as dangerous as something much more powerful; Love. Meet Luke, one of the few Trillionaire's in Europe. Luke Carrington, 25, carries an unimaginable amount of anger, hatred and pure resentment towards the Richardson family- the family responsible for the destruction and demise of family. He holds a deep grudge towards the Richardson family, believing they had orchestrated the murder of his parents. After narrowly escaping being murdered too, young Lucas flees to South Africa. Now an established man and one of the richest men in the world, Lucas returns to London and finds his way to the Richardson mansion to strike a deal with Judith Richardson after cunningly seizing all their wealth.

On the day the privileged heiress, Olivia Cruz, and I register our marriage, she leaves me and Mom stranded on a deserted road before running off to her childhood sweetheart, Brad McCoy. Rage triggers Mom's cardiac arrest, so I call Olivia in anxiety, begging her to come back and save Mom. But she just says a cold line before ending the call, "Not this again. Every time I have to step away, your mom suddenly has heart pain. Your family sure knows how to put on a show, huh?" With that, Mom misses her chance at rescue and dies. That night, a mutual friend posts online. "Growing up together is a whole different kind of bond!" The post shows Olivia perched on Brad's lap with his hand resting on her waist. It's the perfect picture of intimacy that leaves little to the imagination. I expressionlessly tap on the like button before typing my comment. "Is this what you meant by 'something important'?" The friend sneers. "Relax, it's just a game of Truth or Dare. I can't believe you're taking it so seriously." Olivia doesn't even bother to explain, but when I walk away without a word, she finally panics.

In my previous life, everything I do to care for myself somehow ends up benefiting my new housekeeper instead. I apply expensive skincare, yet dark spots and fine lines spread across my face, whereas the 45-year-old housekeeper's face becomes silkier. I jog every morning, yet my body only grows heavier and bulkier, while hers becomes slender and toned. When my husband notices the stretch marks on my abdomen, his face twists with disgust, and he never touches me again. "I genuinely can't bring myself to touch you. How can you look worse than Mirabelle when you take such good care of yourself?" My housekeeper looks at me with a sinister smile. A chill crawls up my spine, and the strange feeling makes me fire her on the spot. Yet, as soon as she leaves, I start aging at lightning speed, entering menopause 20 years early and developing diabetes and high blood pressure. I see every doctor I can, but after hanging on for a week, I die from a stroke. When I open my eyes again, I'm back on the day she first reports to work. This time, I push away the royal jelly she sets in front of me with a pleasant smile. "I've been avoiding certain foods lately. You can have it instead."

Janvir Neo Dela Fuente- isang multi-billionaire businessman at isang mafia. Suplado pagdating sa mga babae at mainitin ang ulo. Shin Madeleine Andrada- isang mahirap na single mom na mamasukan bilang maid ng mga Dela Fuente. Laging pinag-iinitan ng ulo ni Janvir si Shin dahil sa kagagawan ng kasamahan nyang maid at sya ang laging pinagmumukhang may kasalanan na umabot pa sa puntong sinuspende sya ng kanyang amo. Kasabay ng kanyang suspension may hindi inaasahan na mangyayari na sya mismo ang makakakita. Malalaman ni Janvir ang tungkol sa sitwasyon ni Shin kaya mas lalo itong nagalit nang malaman nyang may anak si Shin at iisipin nyang gagamitin lang sya ni Shin para buhayin silang mag-ina.

Magkikita ang dalawa nang hindi inaasahan . Marerealize ni Janvir na mahal pa nya ang dalaga kung kailan hindi na sya kilala ng puso at isip nito. Bibigyan kaya ng tadhana ang dalawang puso na nawalay ng matagal na panahon ? May pag-asa pa kayang mabuksan ni Janvir ang puso ng dalaga at maamin ang tunay nyang nararamdaman?

ESSENCE I would’ve died for them. My husband. My son. But when I was drowning, they didn’t even blink. I gave them everything—my heart, my time, my life. And still, I wasn’t enough. “Will you be my mommy?” my son asked his father’s mistress right in front of me. “Don’t be so selfish, Essence,” my husband said. “You’re lucky anyone married you at all.” They broke me. But I didn’t stay broken. I walked away with just a vow to build something for myself. What I didn’t expect? Lucian Knight. The billionaire bachelor every woman wanted... on his knees, whispering, “Please marry me, Essence. I’ve waited for you my whole life.” I left betrayal behind. But I never knew love could feel this good... or this sinfully sweet.

Numa noite de festa, Helena Almeida ouviu Leonardo Mendes dizer: — Helena é muito bonita. Quando a cortejei, foi porque ela me lembrava um pouco a Camila Ribeiro. Todos esses anos, estive apenas tentando encontrar a sombra de Camila nela. Só então ela percebeu que sempre foi apenas uma substituta. Naquela mesma noite, ela discou um número que não ligava há muito tempo. — Oi, pai. Eu aceito voltar para casa e aceitar o casamento arranjado. Mais tarde, em um grande banquete, Leonardo viu o rosto que ele desejava noite e dia. Ao descobrir a verdadeira identidade de Helena, ele enlouqueceu completamente… No dia em que Helena fugiu de casa para evitar o casamento arranjado, Gabriel Costa ficou diante da janela, girando suavemente uma taça de vinho tinto. Seus olhos estavam sombrios e indecifráveis. — Helena, um dia você voltará para mim por vontade própria. Diziam que Gabriel, o jovem herdeiro mais poderoso de Cidade J, era reservado e indiferente às mulheres. Helena acreditava nisso cegamente. Até que, mais tarde, ela descobriu o quão louco ele podia ser por trás de sua fachada de homem refinado e inatingível.

Betrayed. Abandoned. And Avenged with Triumph. When I married Damian Carter, I believed in forever. In loyalty. In love that withstands time, success, and hardship. I was the woman who stood beside him when he was nothing, who helped him build his empire, who sacrificed everything so he could become the man he always wanted to be. And when he finally got there—when he was rich, powerful, untouchable—he threw me away like last night’s mistake. He didn’t just cheat. He rewrote our story, twisting the truth until I was nothing more than a pathetic, useless wife clinging to his fortune. The world believed him. My own family doubted me. I lost everything. But they were all wrong about me. I didn’t break. I didn’t shatter. I rebuilt. With the help of a man who saw me for who I really was, I built my own empire. I exposed Damian’s secrets, stripped away his power, and took back everything they said I never could. And when he came crawling back, whispering apologies, asking for another chance—his voice trembling with regret—I simply smiled. Because I wasn’t that woman anymore. And more than that, I had finally found a man who never needed to lose me to understand my worth.
