Saskia Smithsonia was the kind of girl who believed love could conquer anything — even the truth. To be with the man she loved, she buried her identity as the heiress to one of the world’s most powerful conglomerates and became Valerie Damer, a struggling med student with nothing but grit and a borrowed smile. She thought if he loved her for who she was without the title, then it would be real. Worth it. Eternal. Valerie would do anything for love — even strike a deal with a devil in a tailored suit to protect the man she thought was her future. But love built on lies is always on borrowed time. Everything shatters the night she catches her boyfriend with someone else — a woman of wealth, power, and status. His excuse? “I’m just securing my future.” Heartbroken and humiliated, she lets Valerie Damer die and reclaims her name: Saskia Smithsonia. But some ghosts don't stay buried — especially when they wear devilish grins and hold your soul in their ledger. The deal she made still lingers — only now, the price has changed. It’s no longer just a favor. It’s a proposal. One that could either reshape her fate… Or destroy everything she has left.

She still believes there's someone who will come to hold her hand and help her to get out of the mud. And the person who's going to save her is her childhood friend who went abroad to study way back seven years ago. What if her childhood friend came back all of the sudden? Is she will going to reveal her secret as a prostitute just to make her save by him? Or hide it just to make her man stay in her life? Is it possible for a prostitute like her to have a happy ever after to a knight shimmering shining armor like in books and fairytales? Let's find out in Magda.

Bound by his secret Ameera Clarke has always known how to fight for survival—working endless shifts, barely keeping her sick mother alive, and holding her world together with nothing but grit and late-night prayers. When she lands a job as secretary to the ruthless billionaire Kevin Black wood, she tells herself it’s just another paycheck. Another mask to wear. But the first time she steps into his office, her breath stills. Those piercing eyes… she’s seen them before. Under the moonlight. In the shadows of a night she swore she’d never speak of again. Kevin Blackwood is every rumor come true—cold, merciless, untouchable. He thrives on control, and Ameera’s defiance is the one thing he can’t bend to his will. She infuriates him. Challenges him. Tempts him. And the more he pushes her away, the deeper she burrows under his skin. But Kevin has a secret. One powerful enough to ruin them both. And when past and present collide, Ameera will have to decide whether to run from the man who could destroy her… or fall for the one she can’t resist. One thing is certain: in his world of power, lies, and dangerous desires—love is the most dangerous game of all.

Mariposa, iyan ang tawag sa kanya. Walang pamilya, walang kaibigan. Isang babaeng mababa ang lipad. Sinisikmura ang lahat para sa pangarap. Gustong gusto na niyang makawala sa kadena. Kapag natapos na niya ang pag-aaral, hindi na niya kakailanganin pang magsuot ng karampot na damit o manloko ng lalaki. Ngunit lahat ng pangarap niya ay nag-iba noong maging kliyente niya ang isang Gustavo Aarav Bryson Salvador Duckworth, ang lalaking pinagtaksilan ng sariling nobya. "Isang gabi lang iyon, Mariposa. Ibibigay ko ang address sa'yo. Hindi mo kailangang magpakita ng mukha. Katawan mo lang ang kailangan niya," imporma sa kanya ni Rodora, ang mistulang manager niya. Tinanggap niya ang kliyenteng sinasabi ni Rodora. Sa unang pagkakataon ay ipagkakaloob niya ang pagkabirhen na iningatan niya sa mga nakalipas na lalaking umupa sa kanya. "Pwede mo siyang patulugin. Pukpukin sa ulo at kunwaring may nangyari," bulong niya pa sa sarili habang papasok sa madilim na penthouse. Para siyang binuhusan ng malamig na tubig at tinangay ang plano niya noong makita ang malaking bulto nito sa dilim. Isang hawak lang nito sa kanya ay tiyak na mapipisa siya. "Are you that desperate for money?" malamig, malalim, at may pagkapaos ang boses nito. Kita niyang lumagok ito ng alak na lalong kinakaba niya. "Kailangan ko lang. Ngayon lang para matapos na ang lahat ng ito," mahinang rason niya at kanina pa pinipiga ang mga daliri niya sa sobrang kaba. "Fine. Ibibigay ko ang gusto mo at pag-ungol lang ang kailangan mong gawin," madiing bigkas nito at halos hindi siya nakakilos noong maramdaman ang pag-ikot ng braso nito sa bewang niya at walang sabing siniil siya nito ng halik. Ni hindi niya lubos isipin na ang isang gabing iyon ay pagkakalooban siya ng tatlong anghel. Mga anghel na walang ideya kung sino siya.

Cumplía años y mi esposo, Don Damián, me regaló el collar de perlas de su difunta esposa. Me lo puse para la cena. Mi hijastro, León, enfurecido, me arrojó vino tinto encima. Fui el hazmerreír de toda la fiesta. —¡Maldita! —me dijo entre dientes—. ¿Acaso crees que por ponerte las joyas de mi mamá vas a poder reemplazarla? Me clavó una mirada gélida. Y luego gritó: —¡Lárgate de mi casa! Pero su madre murió cuando él era un bebé. Fui yo quien lo crio. Alguien le metió cizaña. Le dijeron que yo había matado a su madre. Ahora cree que soy una víbora que engatusó a su padre. ¿Y su padre? ¿Mi esposo? Él nunca me vio realmente. Solo veía el fantasma de Cristal. No se me rompió el corazón… ¡se hizo añicos! No me amaron. Ni siquiera me tomaron en cuenta. Así que me fui. Entonces, ¿por qué, cuando por fin me había ido, volvieron de rodillas, suplicándome que volviera?

En el hospital se armó un escándalo. Un familiar de un paciente agitaba un cuchillo como un loco y, por instinto, empujé a Bruno para apartarlo. Pero él, de un tirón, me agarró la mano y me puso enfrente... para proteger a su querida Celia. Así, la cuchillada fue directo a mi vientre. Y con eso, me arrancó a mi bebé, que apenas empezaba a vivir. Mis compañeros del hospital, con lágrimas en los ojos, intentaban llevarme de urgencia a la UCI, pero Bruno me jaló de la camilla con brusquedad. Con la voz dura y cortante, soltó: —¡Primero salven a Celia! Si a ella le pasa algo, los echo a todos. Los médicos se quedaron helados, llenos de indignación. —¡Estás loco, Bruno! —le gritó uno—. Celia solo tiene un rasguño, ¡tu esposa está mucho peor! Yo, con las manos apretando mi abdomen empapado en sangre, asentí lentamente. —Déjenlo así... Bruno... con esto que te devuelvo hoy, ya no te debo nada.
