Humiliée et trahie, elle annule immédiatement la cérémonie sous les regards moqueurs de l’élite de San Francisco.

Pourquoi cet homme, réputé pour son cœur de pierre et son empire inébranlable, voudrait-il l’épouser ?

On the day the Cole family went bankrupt, Adrian Cole left behind a suicide note and went alone to the snow mountains to end his life. I chased after him without hesitation, searching for him in the snow for a full ten hours. Just as despair hollowed me out completely, I saw his secretary, Zoe Bennett, livestreaming Adrian's proposal on social media. One of his friends joked in the comments, "You're about to be a groom. Aren't you afraid your woman will get mad?" His reply was icy cold. "I only promised her the title of Mrs. Cole. She shouldn't even think about anything else." Another comment followed. "She's marrying in with ten billion in investment. Is she really willing to swallow that kind of grievance?" I could almost see Adrian sneering as he typed, "She got ten billion for the position of Mrs. Cole. She's not losing out. If it weren't for her, Zoe wouldn't have been forced to go abroad. These last few days are my compensation to Zoe." My fingernails dug deep into my flesh. Calmly, I burned everything that had anything to do with him. On the day of the wedding, he went mad searching for me everywhere. In the upscale venue across the street, I had just slipped on a diamond ring given to me by another man, Julian Cross. Unbeknownst to him, while he was calculating the countdown to our breakup, I was also preparing to marry someone else.

Akala ni Seraphina Ramos, kaya niyang tiisin ang lahat para sa lalaking mahal niya—hanggang sa gabing nahuli niya mismo ang asawa niyang si Adrian Torres, isang makapangyarihang CEO, sa kama kasama ang babaeng tinaguriang “true love” niya, ang sikat na aktres na si Lyra Alcaraz. Doon tuluyang nabasag ang puso at dignidad ni Seraphina. Sa araw ng kanilang diborsyo, sa harap mismo ni Adrian at Lyra, ikinagulat ng lahat nang hilahin ni Seraphina ang isang estranghero papasok sa Civil Affairs Bureau at pakasalan ito kaagad. Sinabi nilang desperada siya, pabigla-bigla, at nakakatawa. Ngunit alam ni Seraphina ang totoo—isa itong kasunduang kasal, walang halong damdamin. O akala lang niya. Hindi pala ordinaryong lalaki ang napangasawa niya—isa siyang makapangyarihang negosyante na marunong maglaro ng puso at kapalaran. Unti-unti, nagbago ang mundo ni Seraphina sa ilalim ng kanyang proteksyon. Ngunit muli siyang guguluhin ng nakaraan nang bumalik si Adrian—hindi na ang malamig at walang pakialam na asawa, kundi isang lalaking handang bawiin siya sa kahit anong paraan. Ngayon, haharapin ni Seraphina ang pinakamahirap na desisyon: pagbibigyan ba niya ang CEO ex-husband na minsan nang winasak siya, o pipiliin na niyang tuluyang mahalin ang sarili o ang iba?

The Vale family was the most powerful mafia syndicate in the New York City. And I—along with a few other carefully chosen girls—had been handpicked to join their ranks, trained from the ground up so that the next head of the family could choose his wife from among us. Wife. That was the kinder word for it. The truth was whoever got picked would become his shield, his weapon, his most loyal protector. Someone who would kill for him. Die for him. Years passed. One by one, the others fell away. In the end, only Elara Quinn and I remained. And then, Elara died—killed on a secret mission. After that, there were no more choices left. I became Adrian Vale’s wife by default. I had given everything to Adrian. And I loved him. I thought he loved me too until I took a bullet to the chest—meant for him. As I lay there, barely breathing, I heard Adrian talking to his assistant, “Don’t bury her in the Vale cemetery. My half is reserved for Elara.” That was it. Elara—who had never even lived long enough to marry him—still had a space carved beside him in death. I? I had taken the hit that should have ended him… and yet I wasn’t even good enough to be buried near him. I slowly closed my eyes. And when I opened them again, I was back on the day the Vale family formally announced Adrian as their new head. The day everything began.

Iris never imagined that love could feel so intoxicating… or so dangerous. From the moment she met Adrian, his charming smile and irresistible presence drew her in, making her forget caution and reason. On the surface, he seemed perfect — attentive, flirtatious, and seemingly devoted. But behind that captivating exterior lurked secrets she could never have predicted. What began as stolen glances and playful conversations soon escalated into something far more intense — a forbidden affair neither of them could resist. Every kiss came with a hidden truth, every touch with a lie waiting to be uncovered. As Iris is pulled deeper into Adrian’s world, she discovers that his intentions are far from pure, and that their passionate connection masks a darker, more controlling side. When the truth of his deceptions surfaces, Iris is forced to confront a harsh reality: love can be manipulative, suffocating, and even dangerous. Their entanglement spirals into a toxic dance of desire and betrayal, challenging everything she believed about loyalty, trust, and the boundaries of the heart. Caught between temptation and self-preservation, Iris must decide whether surrendering to Adrian’s magnetic pull is worth the heartbreak it could bring — or if walking away from the man who has consumed her thoughts, her body, and her emotions is the only way to survive. The Lies He Kissed Me With is a gripping, 18+ dark romance about toxic love, hidden agendas, and the fine line between passion and destruction. It is a story of obsession, betrayal, and the dangerous allure of a love built on lies — a story readers will not be able to put down until the very last chapter.
