Arabella Kingsley

Growing up with her evil-like parents, Maria Arabella Cortel wasn’t able to do anything when she had to pretend as Maria Renee Garcia, the girl that was promised to marry a Villacorta. She was forced to change everything. Her hair. Her way of speaking and her way of styling clothes. She basically stole her identity. It was all her parents’ plan, but included the real Renee who even pushed her to do it. All for her parents’ obsession with money, and making the real Renee Garcia’s life miserable in their hands. Everything was planned smoothly. Nang napunta na siya sa puder ng mga Villacorta, she felt like slowly succeeding when Mrs. Villacorta didn’t notice at all how she’s not the real girl she wants for her son. The woman is very fond of her. She thought she had no problem at all. But that's only what she thought. Because when Alexandro Kirviel Villacorta appeared, Renee’s fiance, that shattered her long-held notion that she’d succeed in her mission. She was confronted. Pinagbintangang hindi totoong Renee. At pinagbantaang hindi titiglan hanggang manggaling mismo sa kaniyang bibig ang katotohanan. Both of them have agendas to fulfill. One to keep the truth, and the other one to unveil. But what if love gets in the way? Who would win? Who would fail? Especially… when their parents put the decision in their hands, risking everything no matter what it takes.

Dia lahir dengan nama Reynanda, nama yang selalu ia benci karena mengingatkan pada luka masa lalu yang tak pernah sembuh.

“We shouldn't do this,” I gasp as his hand slips beneath my dress, his hot breath brushing my ear. “You can say that all you want, but you're already dripping for me.” His grip on my thighs tightens. “So let me ruin you—slow, deep, and on every surface in this room.” A moan escapes me—and then he lifts me. _________ Nova Kingsley is a 24-year-old she-wolf with a legacy soaked in blood and secrets. She made peace with control. Power kept her safe. Duty kept her distant. Love? That was a luxury for wolves who didn't carry kingdoms on their shoulders. Then came the Weston brothers. Nate is kind, loyal, and the younger brother offering the future she needs. But Alex? The Alpha-heir is untamed, dangerously intense, and utterly forbidden. His gaze unravels her. His touch threatens to consume her. And when they collide, the world shifts. Stars tremble. The gods remember.

As a deadly threat rises from the shadows and war brews on all sides, Nova must choose between the mate she can have… and the one her soul was created for. Because some bonds are sacred. Others are damned. And this one? It's both. _________ Content Warning: This dark romance contains themes that may be triggering to some readers, including graphic violence, death, emotional trauma, forbidden love, sexual content (18+), supernatural elements, and family betrayal.

Isa sa mga tagapagmana ng pamilya Kingsley si Luther Rutherford, ang pinakamayamang pamilya sa buong Pilipinas. Ngunit sa edad na labingpitong taong gulang, napagpasyahan niyang talikuran ang kanyang pamilya dahil sa kagustuhan niyang magrebelde. Namuhay siya bilang isang ordinaryo sa loob ng maraming taon, kumpletong kasalungat ng pamumuhay na mayroon siya noong nasa puder pa siya ng pamilya Kingsley. Natutunan niyang mangalakal, mamalimos, tumira sa ilalim ng tulay, makipagbasag-ulo sa lansangan, pero ang pinakaimportante sa lahat ay ang tumayo sa sariling mga paa nang sarili lang ang inaasahan. Isang dekada ang lumipas. Isang araw, nakulong siya dahil sa kasong physical assault. Ngunit makaraan lang ang isang linggo, isang ubod na gandang babae ang bumisita sa kanya sa kulungan at piniyansahan siya nito. Wala siyang kaide-ideya kung sino ang babae at kung bakit nito ginawa iyon. Pero nabigla siya sa naging sagot nito nang tanungin niya ito, "Gusto kong magpanggap ka bilang kasintahan ko, kapalit ng kalayaan nating dalawa. It's a win-win, right?" Doon nag-uumpisa ang panibagong buhay ni Luther, bilang isang good-for-nothing boyfriend. Pero ang hindi nila alam, sa likod ng kanyang ordinaryong kaanyuan, ay ang mga katangiang ikagugulat at ikakaawang ng bibig nilang lahat.

“You want a divorce,” he said flatly. “Yes.” “You.” He tilted his head. “The same woman who begged her father to arrange this marriage because she's completely in love with me, who has spent two years making my life…” he stopped, and rephrased “you want a divorce.” “People change.” “What scheme is this now Arabella?” I frowned. “It's not a scheme, it's a divorce, and it's very common among people who are done with a…” “Impossible.” He said it like that was the end of it, discussion over. He turned away from me and walked toward the door like I hadn't said anything at all. “Andrew!” “Get up.” He didn't turn around. “Get dressed, something presentable. We're going to the palace tonight.” “I just asked you for a divorce…” “It's a banquet.” He finally glanced back over his shoulder, and there was nothing in his expression that suggested he'd heard a single word I said about divorce. “We're meeting the King tonight. You have a few hours so I suggest you stop wasting them.” “Did you hear what I just said to you?” “Get ready, Bella.” ✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧ The Ruthless Lycan King isn’t just my mate.

I need him more than I should. If my husband ever finds out, this forbidden affair will start a war.

"When are you going to kill her like you killed her family and pack? She doesn't deserve to be your mate. She's weak and wolf-less." Avery, my mate's former lover, spoke in a bored voice from behind the wide, thick doors. I gasped in shock, covering my mouth to hold back the tears. My mate was responsible for killing my family?! And now, he was plotting my murder with his lover! ___ Selena Ardolf had always been the perfect Luna and a devoted wife. Her only flaw? She couldn't give Alpha King Zander Blake an heir.

Years later, she is forced to face her ruthless ex-mate once more. This time, Zander seems more obsessed than ever, determined to claim her at any cost. However, Selena is no longer alone.

My ex-husband is getting married. and.... I’m the one hired to plan the wedding. My name is Arabella Paloma Garcia. Five years ago, I was arranged to marry an Italian heir with an angel’s face and the personality of something between a blizzard and a natural disaster: Rafael Vittorio Ricciardi. We spent one year of marriage arguing hard enough to make a lawyer retire early. Then his ex came back, and I left with a divorce bracelet on my finger… and a pair of babies in my belly. Now I live in San Francisco. I own a wedding planning company, I’m a single mom to two demon twins, and I’m very, very proud of the fact that the name Ricciardi doesn’t appear anywhere in my life. Until one email lands in my inbox: Ricciardi–Marino Wedding. Groom: Rafael Vittorio Ricciardi. Bride: Alessandra Marino… the woman who once became the reason I got kicked out of his life. I should’ve said no. But Alessandra is infuriating, and I want to prove I’m over Rafael. So I take the job. But he walks in with a cold stare that sends my stomach straight to the floor. No recognition. A helicopter crash two years ago wiped six years of his life. Including me. Including our marriage. Perfect. I’ll plan my ex-husband’s wedding, send him down the aisle, and go back to my life. The plan goes smoothly. Right up until the wedding day. The bride disappears. The guests are waiting. The media is already rolling. And Rafael closes the bridal suite door… drops a bomb that earns him my fist in his face: “You’re the one who going to walk down the aisle with me.”

On the night of my sister’s engagement party, my life officially crashes. Again. All because of one name on the invitation. Zachary de Sanctis. My sister’s fiancé. Fiona. My ex, the guy I punched in the face five years ago. Heir to the richest old-money family in Europe. And one tiny detail only God and I know: he’s the father of my twins. For the past five years, I’ve been hiding out in a little town in Oregon, working as the CEO of a IT firm while chasing two four-year-olds who look more like their father than me. Isaac and Isabella: two mini De Sanctis clones with the last name Gómez, razor-sharp mouths, brains that run too fast, and a talent for causing trouble exactly when I need peace. My family knows I came home pregnant and alone. They just never asked who the father is, and I never offered an answer. As far as they’re concerned, I’m still Arabella Gómez, the wild one who lost her way. I thought going to Fiona’s engagement party would just mean a few hours of fake laughing, then a quiet drive back to my glass-walled house in Oregon and two sets of blue eyes calling me Mommy. Until Zach walks into my parents’ living room holding Fiona’s hand… and his gaze stays on my face a little too long. He can’t find out about Isaac and Isabella. Fiona can’t find out her perfect fiancé was mine first. And my family can’t know what really happened five years ago. Hiding a scandal between two rich dynasties is one thing. Hiding two chaotic twins who are basically their father’s face copy-pasted? That’s the real nightmare.

"Do you take Asher Williams as your lawfully wedded husband" the priest asked me I bit my lips and look over to my Dad who had an expressionless face , my step mom glared at me I scoff "yes" He turn to the handsome man by my side, I must admit although I don't want to get married , this man is so handsome with beautiful eyes , thin lips, tall, with abs I drool "and do you take Cheryl Kingsley as your lawfully wedded wife?" I snapped from my thoughts and waited for his reply Part of me hope he would say no and stop the wedding and part of me hope he would say yes "Yes" he replied The priest smiled "you may kiss your bride" He turn to look at me and frown " No" I could hear a chuckle from my step mom "Kissing girls is bad" he said I raise a brow what is wrong with him? An elderly woman rush to the alter and whisper something into his ears He stare at me I was becoming impatient , what a disgrace I held him and force my lips on his I felt a force push me from him I fell hitting my ass on the ground, it didn't hurt much because of the thickness of the wedding gown He pushed me! Me! I wanted to stand up and give him a piece of my mind but looking at the congregation, their mocking smile , I couldn't , I felt so embarrassed thank goodness the only people invited were friends and family But still,all those girls that look at me like an untouchable goddess I felt like crying , I bit my lips and remained on the ground pretending I've lost consciousness and hoping the ground would open up and swallow me

Ich war im achten Monat schwanger und begleitete meinen Mann, Don Massimo, zu einer Wohltätigkeitsgala, als uns eine rivalisierende Familie angriff. Die Menge geriet in Panik. Jemand stieß mich brutal zu Boden. Überall war Blut. Massimo verlor völlig die Kontrolle. Er schrie nach Ärzten und wollte mit aller Macht unser Baby retten. Doch als ich wieder zu mir kam, waren sie weg. Beide. Mein Baby und Massimo. Ich erinnerte mich noch an die Schüsse. Daran, wie Massimo mich mit seinem Körper geschützt hatte. Eine eisige Ahnung kroch in mir hoch. Ich setzte mich mit letzter Kraft in einen Rollstuhl und fuhr den Flur entlang. Dann hörte ich Stimmen. Massimo. Und den Arzt. „Boss, es tut mir leid. Wir haben alles versucht. Das Baby ... hat nicht überlebt.“ Tränen liefen mir übers Gesicht. Sie hatten mein Baby getötet. Diese rivalisierende Familie hatte mein Baby getötet. Doch seine nächsten Worte rissen mir den Boden unter den Füßen weg. „Es gab nur ein Ärzteteam. Ich musste mich entscheiden. Bianca ... sie hat auch mein Kind getragen.“ Massimo seufzte leise und gab dann seinen Befehl. „Niemand sagt Arabella etwas. Sie wird Biancas Sohn wie ihren eigenen großziehen. Er wird mein einziger Erbe sein.“ Ich presste mir die Hand auf den Mund. Tränen verschwammen mir die Sicht, als ich mich umdrehte und wegging. Der Mann, den ich geliebt hatte, war eine Lüge. Schön. Wenn er Krieg wollte, dann sollte er ihn bekommen.
