Adrian Ivashkov

À Paris, Léana, danseuse de cabaret, vit dans la lumière des projecteurs et l’ombre des secrets. Chaque soir, elle enfile ses robes satinées, joue avec le regard des hommes et cache ses blessures derrière des pirouettes et des sourires mesurés. Mais sa vie bascule le soir où une mystérieuse enveloppe change tout : un homme riche et inconnu, Adrian, lui demande de danser… pour lui seul, dans le silence et sans contact. Adrian, blessé par un passé qu’il dissimule derrière l’obscurité, ne voit plus le monde avec ses yeux. Il “voit” avec ses autres sens : le souffle, le parfum, le mouvement. Quand Léana danse pour lui, il perçoit sa vérité, sa fragilité et sa force, comme si chaque geste racontait son âme. La rencontre de ces deux êtres fêlés devient un jeu dangereux d’interdits, de désir et de fascination. Léana, qui pensait tout connaître de sa séduction, découvre l’obsession d’Adrian et la puissance du silence. Et Adrian, qui croyait être seul dans sa solitude, se surprend à dépendre de la présence fragile mais brûlante de cette danseuse. Au fil des rendez-vous nocturnes, leur lien devient une danse intime et envoûtante, où chaque regard absent, chaque geste silencieux, chaque souffle partagé devient une promesse et une chaîne. Mais les secrets du passé, la peur de se perdre et les règles imposées par Adrian menacent de transformer cette passion en prison. Sous ta peau, mes chaînes est une histoire de désir, de vulnérabilité et de puissance, où l’érotisme se mêle à la tension psychologique et où la découverte de l’autre devient la seule musique qui compte.

They called her a Cheater. But Camille Laurent was the one who caught her husband in another woman’s arms. The night she found Marcus her husband with his mistress, she thought the truth would destroy them. Instead, it destroyed her. By morning, the scandal had a new story. Photos surfaced and headlines exploded. Camille was accused of having an affair with Adrian Steele. The husband of the Mistress her husband cheated on her with. One of the richest billionaires in Valmont. Marcus filed for a divorce during the scandal. While their spouses burned down their marriages, Camille and Adrian formed a dangerous alliance.

A modern-day fujoshi (a woman who’s obsessed with pairing men together in fictional or real scenarios) dies in an accident — only to wake up in the body of Lady Seraphina Edevane, a noblewoman in a world of arranged marriages and rigid social rules. Seraphina is married to Lord Adrian Vale, a stoic duke rumored to have a scandalous past. The twist? Whenever Adrian gets within a certain distance of her, he starts hearing the original woman’s unfiltered inner voice — full of snark, romantic theories, and wild speculations about pairing him with other men. As the woman begins to warm up to him, the “voice distance” increases, forcing them to stay apart or risk exposure… until they realize the connection might hold the key to unraveling a curse tied to both their fates.

I went abroad for three years to build a lab and save my husband's company from collapse. After endless struggles, I finally cracked the technical problems and developed the core technology. When I returned home with that breakthrough, I saw the airport video board plastered with the same impossible headline—my husband was getting married. I felt a hot, furious ache and took a taxi straight to the venue. … A woman who had cared for our household for years blocked me at the gate and sneered. "Who do you think you are, showing up at the Stone family's wedding? Get out of here, or I'll get security to throw you out." For a moment, I stood rooted, but then the bride appeared, walking out of the villa in a wedding gown. It was the woman Adrian Stone had once told me was dead—his first love, Evelyn Sutton. She wore my wedding ring on her finger and looked at me with pure contempt. "You want to make a scene at my wedding?" she said. "If you do, you're really asking for trouble. My husband, Adrian, won't hesitate to take care of you." I folded my arms and let out a cold laugh. "Adrian's getting married? Funny, I don't recall getting an invitation."

Aya Reyes, a smart, resilient and capable woman who was a believer in love. After all, mas madaling paniwalaan ang mga pangakong nanggaling mismo sa taong mahal mo, sa taong pinaniwala ka na you are capable of receiving love, who made you the center of his universe, and the same man who promised to walk you down the aisle. And Aya believed him. Until he disappeared. No explanation. No goodbye. Just ache and promises that never came true. For five years, naghintay si Aya. She held on to memories, making excuses, and the fragile hope that maybe one day, babalik sya. Pero hindi siya bumalik. Hindi siya nagparamdam. So she did the only thing she knew to survive: she moved on. New city. New job. New life. Day by day, she did everything para unti-unting buuin ang sarili nya at mamuhay sa mundong wala na si Adrian. Pero mapaglaro ang tadhana. Sa pagdaan ng araw na pilit kinakalimutan ni Aya si Adrian, he started introducing himself to the word. Adrian Vale is a powerful bachelor and now the CEO of Vale Group–rich, brilliant, and one of the most eligible bachelors in the country. The next time Aya saw him again, they weren’t lovers anymore. Hindi rin strangers, kundi bilang boss at empleyado. And this time, Adrian doesn't remember her. After a mysterious accident five years ago, Adrian Vale lost all of his memories, kasama na ang babaeng pinakamamahal nya at ang pangako nila sa isa’t isa. Now, as fate slowly pulls them into each other’s lives again, Aya needs to come with a decision. Should she tell him who she was or let him live his life and lose him again?

He built empires by never loving anyone. She survived him by becoming something unstoppable. Adrian Blackwell did not believe in mercy—only leverage. As the youngest billionaire to dominate three continents, he ruled boardrooms with ice in his veins and blood on his hands. Falling in love with his wife was his only mistake. And when betrayal came, he chose the lie that preserved his empire over the woman who gave him everything. When Adrian cast Elara out of his life, he never knew the truth. She was pregnant. And she refused to beg. Disappearing with nothing but her name and a secret that could shatter him, Elara rebuilt herself from ruin. Years later, she returns not as the discarded wife—but as a powerbroker in her own right. Wealth sharpened by vengeance. Grace forged in fire. A woman who learned that survival is the most dangerous form of ambition. Now their worlds collide again—at the summit of global power. Adrian wants her back. Elara wants justice. But the past has claws, the truth has a price, and the child between them is no longer a secret that can stay buried. As enemies circle and empires tremble, love becomes a battlefield where forgiveness may cost everything and revenge may cost even more. Because in a world ruled by billionaires, love is the most expensive risk of all.

Maya Rivers never thought desperation would lead her back into the arms of the man who once shattered her. To save her sister’s life, she agrees to become a surrogate through a private, anonymous agency—no names, no attachments, no complications. But when the intended father is revealed, her world comes crashing down. The baby’s father is none other than Adrian Knight—her cold, ruthless ex-husband and the billionaire who accused her of betrayal, tore apart their marriage, and left her heart in ruins. Adrian wants an heir more than anything. What he didn’t expect was Maya—the only woman he ever loved and lost—carrying his child. Bound by legal contracts and unresolved emotions, he demands she move into his estate, forcing them into a tense, unwanted reunion under one roof. As Maya’s belly grows, so does the tangled web of secrets between them. Old wounds resurface, passion rekindles, and truths long buried begin to unravel: the betrayal that destroyed them was a lie, their divorce was never finalized, and this pregnancy is far from ordinary. Now, with their future—and their twins—hanging in the balance, Maya and Adrian must face the question neither dared to ask: Is love enough to heal what was broken, or will pride and pain tear them apart forever?

Before our marking ceremony, my fiancé, Adrian Conner, insists on bringing his childhood sweetheart along on our trip—all because Flora Wooledge says she also wants to see the northern lights. He switches my first-class ticket to Flora's name. He says, "I'll fly first class with Flora. You can take connecting flights by land. The doctor said it's not good for a pregnant woman to stay at high altitude for too long." I don't cry or argue. Instead, I calmly push him toward Flora. He snorts. "You've finally learned to behave. You're not as clingy and troublesome as before." After he leaves, I quietly sign the abortion consent form at the hospital. Then, I book a ticket to the southern hemisphere. In my past life, I begged and clung to him, hoping to keep him with our pup. But on that trip, Flora was attacked by rogue wolves and torn apart in the snow. Adrian kept a calm facade. Yet on the night I was about to give birth, he dragged me back home and cut open my belly with his own hands. He stood there and listened as our pup's cries slowly faded away. He poured all his hatred onto me. He believed I caused Flora's death and that I ruined his chance to become the Conner family's heir. To him, I was nothing more than a sacrificial pawn. In this new life, when I step off the private jet, I see Adrian standing there with his eyes bloodshot. He stares at my belly and asks, "Where's the pup?" Before I can answer, his half-brother wraps an arm around my waist. "Adrian, show some respect to your sister-in-law."
