Iris Rossi, a 23-year-old sharp young attorney, has been building a reputation for dismantling the criminal networks of New York’s elite. She sees the Moretti family as her ultimate takedown. Dante Moretti, newly in charge of his late father’s empire, needs to appear legitimate, to secure his position against rivals and federal investigators. After a major courtroom win against one of Dante’s shell companies, Iris is confronted by Dante himself. Instead of threatening her life, he offers her a deal: marry him for one year and secure his public image, or watch her family’s hidden crimes surface, destroying her career and reputation. She discovers evidence that her late father laundered money for the Mafia, and Dante is holding it over her.

"Am I Damon to you?" I whipped her again, with anger clearly evident on my face. "No." She said, shaking her head vehemently. Streak of tears streamed down her cheeks but I didn't care the least about it. Pushing the emotions that clouded my thoughts away, I yelled at her. "What am I to you?" "Master!" She screamed. Her lips shook in trepidation. I threw the whip aside on hearing her say the exact words I wanted to hear. Her white top was now soaked with a bit of blood as she curled herself up in a fetal position. "From now on, you will be confined to this building for the rest of your life. Don't even try to think about escaping," I informed her. ******** Evie's twisted life only became more overwhelming when she was mated to the ruthless Alpha of the Night Wolves pack, Damon. He developed sudden hate towards her and subjected her into maltreatment when he realized that she was his mate. He hated the thought that a human activated his mating bond. Little did he know that there was more to her identity than the eyes held. Damon made her go through extreme torture, all because he wanted to show his superiority over her and rub it on her face that she was just a worthless human. What will be the fate of Damon, when the table turns and he discovers the once weak Evie holds so much importance to his life and now he has to fight for her? How will he go about winning Evie's heart as the once ruthless Alpha now becomes the lover boy?

Asawa ko siya pero hindi ko siya matawag na akin dahil may nagmamay-ari na ng puso niya. Gusto kung ipaglaban ang pagmamahal ko para sa kan'ya dahil mahal ko siya at asawa ko siya. Subalit ang hirap ipaglaban ng taong kahit kailan hindi nakita ang halaga mo dahil para sa kan'ya ikaw ang sumira ng buhay niya. Hindi ko alam kung hanggang kailan ako magpapakatanga sa pagmamahal ko para sa kan'ya. Asawa niya lang ako sa papel pero hindi sa puso niya. I am Isla Madison Buenaventura Alcantara the UNWANTED WIFE.

"You may now kiss the bride" Humarap ako kay Kiel. Nakatingin ito sa akin na nandidiri. Pumikit ako ng inaakala kong hahalikan ako sa labi pero sa pisngi ito humalik. "nakuha mo ako ang pagiging Mrs. Valerian, sisiguraduhin kong hindi mo makukuha ang pagmamahal ko." He whispered. Pumikit ako ng naramdaman ko ang phisycal na sakit sa puso ko. D*MN! "Remember that Sam? Hindi mo makukuha ang pagmamahal ko cause I love someone else." dagdag nito habang nagpalakpakan na ang mga tao. Tumulo ang isang butil kong luha. "sarap pagmasdan ang luha mo. Sarap mong pagmasdan habang umiiyak." lumayo na ito sa akin pagkatapos sabihin un at nauna ng lumabas sa simbahan. Pinalis ko ang luha ko at mag isang ngumiting humarap sa mga taong masaya para sa amin. Kumikirot ang dibdib ko sa likod ng mga ngiti ko. Daig ko pa ang sinaksak pero hindi ko pinahalata. "San pupunta ang asawa mo?" inosenteng tanong isang matanda. Ngumiti ako dito at hindi na nag salita. "baka excited lang" mapanuksong sabe naman ng isa. Tumawa ako kahit na parang pinipiga ang puso ko. Ang sakit! I am Samantha Alexandria Perez or should I say Samantha Alexandria Perez Valerian and I am his UNWANTED WIFE.

At the New Year's Eve dinner, my mom suddenly assigns some rules to me and my siblings. She claims that those who don't fit the criteria aren't allowed to eat at the table. Rule number one: One must have spent at least 50% of their time keeping Mom company at home last year. Rule number two: One must have gone shopping with Mom all the time. Rule number three: One must keep giving Mom allowance. But it appears that I, the oldest sibling, am the only one who doesn't meet the requirements. My little sister, Chelsea Cage, begins acting coquettish immediately. "All Cassidy cares about is her business, unlike me, Mom! I care about you!" Meanwhile, my younger brother, Cameron Cage, lectures me with a frown, "What's the point of you being able to earn more money than average people? No matter how good a breadwinner you are, the fact that you don't care about Mom completely nullifies it!" My mom tells my siblings to sit around her happily. Then, she criticizes me in a sarcastic tone. "As parents, when we become old, what we need is our children's company, not cold hard cash." I'm pissed off, to say the least. I'm the breadwinner of this family, and yet these freeloaders get to put on airs in front of me. The reason why I don't go shopping with my mom is that she's never satisfied with whatever gifts I've picked out for her during the times I did go out with her. That's why I gave her money straight away. I didn't give my mom any allowance at all because all the money is regularly deposited into the supplementary card, which she has. Since my long-term efforts are worth nothing compared to my siblings' sweet talk, I suppose I can quit being the ATM of this family.
