OUT of boredom, Apple thought of sketching a teddy bear on the blank side of a contract in front of her, without her realizing that it was actually a contract and her sketch would be counted as her signature. Nakasaad ditong kailangan n'yang samahan si Dravour Ichigo Forestier, isang sikat na modelo, sa loob ng isang taon, hindi lamang upang maging alila nito kundi upang paibigin ito bago matapos ang kontrata. Sa kabilang banda, kontrata ang naisip na paraan ni Dravour upang makahanap ng babaeng ihaharap sa kaniyang ina. Ito ay bilang pagtutol niya sa kagustuhan nitong ipakasal siya sa kaniyang kababatang si Shantall na hindi naman niya mahal. Ang kaibigang sina Hiro at Kio ang tumutulong sa kan'ya sa paghahanap ng babae, at kapag hindi n'ya ito nagugustuhan ay s'ya na mismo ang tumatapos sa kontrata. Bagama't mas'yadong isip-bata at 'weird' ang dalaga ay hindi kaagad tinapos ni Dravour ang kasunduan kahit na malaya siyang gawin iyon sa simula pa lamang. Hindi n'ya rin magawang ipakita sa babae ang kaniyang tunay at itinatagong kondisyon dahil sa takot — takot na iwan din s'ya nito katulad ng ginawa ng mga naunang babaeng kaniya ring pinaperma. Sa kabila ng mga balakid at problemang idinulot ng kontratang iyon, pipiliin pa rin ba nila na ipagpatuloy ito? O sila na rin mismo ang kaagad na tatapos dito?

Sold like a circus animal. Collared, forced into misery and self-hatred. With a single blow, she hopes to change her life, only to find herself trapped again. Ocean has no idea what freedom means, but she desires nothing more than a taste of it. The secrets hidden from her will unfold before her eyes, no one can escape the truth. ~~~ The book excerpt: "Here, I have a key to your heart," I left the key in my palm, metal, and skin together. I stumbled upon the ancient artwork in the locker rooms. It caught my attention because it resembles a dagger, so I took it and waited for the perfect opportunity. "Silly girl, that is not the key to my heart. Pathetic attempt." Vladimir growls in disgust. If I'm lucky, I'll be free by the end of the night. Taking the first step toward my destruction, I grin and move my hips in time with the slow music in the background. Vladimir swallows, his Adam's apple bobbles in his throat. The vampire's eyes focus on the crook of my neck as I stop directly in front of him. I place my palm on his chest, guide my fingertips down to his abdominal muscles, a corner of my lip twitches in disgust. When he closes his eyes, I take the opportunity to plunge the key directly into his heart, smiling as his eyes shoot open and he looks down at me in horror. "Are you still convinced I don't have the key to your heart?" I ask, grab him by the collar, and pull him closer. My lips nearly touch his ear as I whisper, "It fits."

Everyone called Mia a shameless whore. However, the one trailing behind her was the youngest don of the Yorick family, James. He hand-washed her lace camisoles, broke three ribs for her, and even with his face covered in blood from a beating, he could still smile at her. One night, after too much drinking, the underboss he trusted most leaned down beside him. His face was full of disdain. “Boss, Mia is a disgrace to all of us! A woman like that, how could she ever be worthy of you?” James suddenly laughed. His eyes went terrifyingly blank. The cigar between his fingers glowed faintly in the dark. “Back then, before I secured my position, I was young, greedy for power. To get my sister-in-law that antique necklace she wanted, I took advantage of Mia being drunk and took pictures of her myself… “Ten dollars a copy. I sold thirty thousand of them. Things blew way out of control… I owe her.” James took a long drink of whiskey while his Adam’s apple bobbed. “Thankfully… she will never know. I will spend my whole life making it up to her, treating her twice as well.” He did not see the private room door quietly close the moment he said those words. Mia turned around with a blank expression on her face and walked into a small clinic on the corner. She laid down on the operating table. He would never deserve to know that he had once been a father, if only for a moment. That whole lifetime he planned to spend making it up to her, she did not want it anymore.

*Excerpt* My gaze met Sergio's. He didn't look away. I couldn't look away either. It felt like there was an invisible magnet pulling us towards each other. He looked away, breaking us from the trance. "Are you sure you're okay, Nicole?" "Come inside." He shook his head. "I was worried, and—" "Come inside, let's talk." He shook his head again, unyieldingly. "We're already talking." "Are you scared?" I asked in a challenging voice, my gazed fixed on him. "What are you so scared of?" "Nicole..." "To answer your question, no, Sergio, I'm not okay." "What's bothering you?" The vulnerability in his eyes towards me was palpable. It was my chance to act. I couldn't afford to waste it. "You," I replied, my gaze still boring into his. "And your fiancee. I couldn't bear watching you together." Sergio swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing. "I was jealous, Sergio." • *Blurb* In a turn of events, Juliana bears witness to the brutal murder of her father—a sight she never thought she'd witness.

Dark Mafia Scene “Who laid a hand on you? Dallion's voice was low, cold, and dangerous. His dark gaze bore into her, daring her to stay silent. When she didn’t respond, the tension snapped like a whip, his voice booming through the room, “Who?” The butler, standing rigid against the wall, swallowed hard before stammering out the words, “It... it was Mr. Rivers, sir.” The atmosphere turned deadly as Dallion's jaw clenched, fury igniting in his eyes. “Bring him to me.” The butler’s eyes widened in fear. “N-now, sir? It’s... it’s late.” Dallion's hand, once braced against the wall near her head, slowly curled into a fist. His eyes never left her face, his possessiveness was palpable. Without looking at the butler, his voice dropped to a lethal calm, “Do you need a better time? Or shall I break your legs to teach you urgency?” The butler didn’t need any more encouragement. He fled the room, returning twenty minutes later with a trembling Mr. Rivers. “Dallion, my friend, what’s all this about?” Rivers began, his voice casual as if nothing was amiss. But Dallion wasn't’t here for pleasantries. His eyes slid to the knife stabbed into the apple on the table, and in one fluid motion, he yanked it free, the blade glinting in the dim light. Without a word, Dallion grabbed Rivers outstretched hand, slamming it onto the table. The sharp scream that followed echoed in the room as Dallion, with one swift movement, sliced through the man’s fingers. Blood splattered across the polished wood as Rivers screamed in agony, clutching his mutilated hand. “No one touches what belongs to me,” Dallion's voice was eerily calm, his expression devoid of any sympathy.

“I will make you suffer, mate. I’ll break you until the only escape you have is to end your own life,” he hissed, shoving her backward. “Undress, get on the bed, and be on all fours!” •••••••••••••• Benita was considered a burden and was never loved because she weighed a few pounds more than what was considered the perfect slender figure. Her younger sister, Nina, was the apple of everyone’s eye, the opposite of Benita. Nina had it all—a beautiful face, a slim body, and she was even dating Nathan, the soon-to-be Alpha. Everyone believed Nina would be his mate and the pack’s future Luna. But fate had other plans, as on the day of the mating ceremony, it wasn’t Nina but Benita who was revealed as Nathan’s mate. Nathan, furious and disgusted, was forced to accept her. Nina, devastated, fled that same night, only to fall from a cliff, her body lost, presumed dead. Nathan blamed Benita for ruining his perfect life and sought revenge. He turned his pain into a cruel revenge, subjecting her to a life of a slave. When Benita discovered she was pregnant, she fled, fearing Nathan would kill the child, unaware that Nathan’s feelings had started to change, though he would never admit it. Five years later, their paths crossed again. This time, Benita was no longer the broken girl the pack hated; she had made a name for herself as a renowned healer, and men now sought her out. But Nathan wasn’t about to lose her again. He’d let her slip through his fingers once, and this time, he would do anything to claim her. And as if fate hadn’t twisted enough, her sister, long thought dead, came back from the grave.

Il m'a exécuté pour trahison. La déesse de la Lune m'a donné 100 jours pour prouver mon innocence, dans le corps de quelqu'un d'autre. L'alpha Kieran Drake a tué sa compagne il y a deux ans. Il a cru les preuves. Il a cru les mensonges. Il m'a transpercé le cœur d'argent sans hésiter. Maintenant, je suis de retour, piégée dans le visage d'une étrangère, et son loup reconnaît ce que son esprit refuse d'accepter : **je suis toujours sa compagne.** Mais je ne suis pas ici pour me réconcilier. Je suis ici pour découvrir la vérité. Quelqu'un m'a piégée. Quelqu'un d'assez proche pour falsifier des lettres, manipuler des témoins et s'en tirer à bon compte pendant que je mourais. Et cette personne est toujours là, empoisonnant mon compagnon, détruisant ma meute de l'intérieur. Il me reste 100 jours avant que ce corps emprunté ne me lâche. 100 jours pendant lesquels mes souvenirs disparaîtront un à un, notre premier baiser, le visage de ma sœur, et même mon propre nom. 100 jours pour dévoiler un complot, sauver l'Alpha qui m'a assassinée et décider si le lien qui nous unit mérite une seconde chance. **Le problème ?** La culpabilité de Kieran est aussi dangereuse que son amour. Et le monstre qui a orchestré ma mort ne me laissera pas survivre une seconde fois. On dit que l'amour vaut la peine de mourir, mais le mien exige que je vive.
