Alpha's Last Minute Bride

They had brought Olive into the Levine family under the shadow of illegitimacy, living a life concealed from the world. However, one day, her stepmother concocted a plan for a marriage replacement, coercing her into wedlock with Edward Johnson. She demanded that Olive take on the role of her stepsister. Olive found herself bound to a man notorious as ‘The Devil,’ an unsightly and disfigured villain. Little did she know, he harbored a well-kept secret. His mother had perished in a blaze, ignited by his stepbrother, transforming him into a vengeful figure. To pursue his vendetta, he sought to marry Olive’s stepsister, believing her to be entangled with his stepbrother. And he was deceived by them again... What would transpire when Edward uncovered the ruse? Would he spare her life? Could Olive soften the heart of this ruthless beast? __ The room was dark when he emerged behind me. His fingers skimmed against my bare shoulder, making me flinch, and his warm breath caressed my ear while his hand slipped down my navel. "Your body is mine, if not your heart." His hoarse voice made me close my eyes shut.

“Sa ‘kin ka na, Ava. Isang taon lang ‘to… pero pagkatapos noon, hindi ka na makakatakas sa akin kahit gusto mo pa.” Pakiramdam ni Ava Lim ay wala na siyang lusot sa mundo. Isang talented wedding gown designer na halos mawalan ng lahat—ang bahay, ang negosyo, at ang inang may malubhang sakit. Walang ama, walang kapatid, mag-isa na lamang siyang lumalaban. Hanggang isang araw, dumating si Sebastian Rivas—ang pinakamakapangyarihan at pinakakinatatakutang bilyonaryo sa bansa, ang tinaguriang “Demon of Real Estate.” Hindi siya nag-alok ng awa. Nag-alok siya ng kontrata: magpakasal sila sa papel at sa publiko, titira sa kanyang pribadong isla sa Palawan, at kapalit nito, babayaran niya ang lahat ng utang, gagamutin ang ina ni Ava, at bibigyan pa ito ng bagong simula. Pumayag si Ava—walang choice. Pero hindi alam ni Ava na may mas malalim na dahilan si Sebastian. Ginagamit niya ang kasal para makapasok sa lihim ng pamilya Lim—at mahanap ang katotohanan sa pagkamatay ng kapatid niya na hindi niya matanggap na aksidente lang. Sa bawat titig, bawat haplos, bawat gabing magkasama sa malaking kama, unti-unting nawawala ang lamig ni Sebastian. Nagiging obsessed siya—selos na selos sa kahit sinong lalaking lumalapit kay Ava, hinahawakan ito na parang pag-aari, at handang sirain ang mundo para mapanatili siyang malapit. Pero kapag natuklasan ni Ava na ang pamilya niya mismo ang maaaring may kinalaman sa trahedya ni Sebastian… magagawa pa kaya niyang manatili sa piling ng lalaking nagsimula sa kontrata pero nagtapos sa pag-ibig na parang tanikala? Makakalaya ba si Ava mula sa mala-presong kasal na ito… o siya mismo ang magiging dahilan para mas lalong lumalim ang dilim na hawak ni Sebastian?

"Get up, I'm hungry. Cook for me NOW!" The authoritative tone jolted me awake, not giving me a moment to freshen up or even change. We don't sleep side by side; he stays in the master bedroom while I occupy the guest room. He can't stand being near me. It hurts deeply when those words come from him, but it's a recurring pattern. I hurriedly made my way downstairs, still tying the robe around me. In the kitchen, I began preparing his breakfast. You see, I'm his secret wife. No one knows except our parents and a few friends. Since we got married, not a day goes by without him reminding me that he doesn't love me. Not a day goes by without him hurting me. But that's alright because, as I've mentioned, I love him so much that I'm willing to do anything just to earn his love in return. A single tear escaped and fell onto the clove of garlic I was chopping. I quickly wiped it away. From the corner of my eye, I noticed Manang watching me. I took a deep breath to regain my composure before turning to her with a forced smile. "I'm sorry; I got emotional over garlic." I lied.
