Asset Antonym

“Mary me, Mr. CEO.” Lakas loob niyang saad na nakapagpasinghap sa mga nakarinig. Nanatiling blangko ang mukha ni Aiden at nakatitig lang sa empleyado niyang lasing. Kung titingnan mo ay isang magaling na empleyado si Mia at kung makipag-usap ito sa Boss niya ay maayos at magalang ito pero sa mga oras na ito, ibang-iba sa nakasanayan niyang makita kay Mia. “Please, marry me, Sir!” ulit niya. Lasing na si Mia, nagpakalunod siya sa alak dahil sa ginawang panloloko sa kaniya ng ex-boyfriend niya. “Bakit ba hindi man lang kita napansin, Sir? Ang kinis-kinis ng mukha mo, ang perfect ng itsura mo. Kaya siguro nababaliw sayo ang lahat ng mga babaeng empleyado at guest dito. Iyan ba ang asset ng hotel na ito kaya marami kayong guest?” lasing niya ng saad. “Bakit, ang gwapo gwapo mo.......Sir?” "Just answer me if you’re gonna marry me, hindi ako aalis hangga’t hindi ka sumasagot.” pamimilit pa rin niya. Bahagya lang namang nakangiti si Aiden. “Yeah, sure. I will marry you.” sagot niya, halos mawalan pa ng balanse ang isang babaeng nakikinig sa kanila dahil sa narinig nilang sagot ng Boss nila. What will happen after that? Paano kung paggising mo kinabukasan ay fiancee ka na ng isang pinakamayamang batang CEO sa bansa dahil sa kalasingan mo?

Kinakaya ni Isla Aguilar ang mabigat na hamon ng buhay. Nagtatrabaho sa araw, nag-aaral sa gabi para sa pangarap na mas maayos na buhay at makatulong sa gamutan ng bunsong kapatid na may Down Syndrome at butas sa puso. Sa gitna ng kanyang pagsusumikap, ang kanyang tanging pahinga ay ang lihim na talon malapit sa likod ng kanilang bahay, kung saan isang araw ay iniligtas siya ng isang guwapo at matipunong estranghero sa pag-aakalang siya ay nagpapatiwakal. Hindi niya inakalang ang estrangherong iyon ay si Johan Abraham Dela Torre, ang bagong CEO ng kumpanyang pinagtatrabahuhan niya na kilalang istrikto at malupit sa pamamalakad sa kumpanya, at mailap sa mga babae. Kaya’t laking gulat ni Isla nang bigla siyang alukin ng CEO ng kasal kapalit ng tulong para sa operasyon ng kanyang kapatid. May kundisyon ang kasunduan: walang pisikal na relasyon, sikreto ang kasal maliban sa pamilya ng lalaki, at isang taon lamang ang bisa. Habang tumatakbo ang mga araw, unti-unting nahuhulog ang loob nina Isla at Abe sa isa’t isa. Dahil sa angking galing at talino, si Isla ay naging isang asset ng kumpanya, at si Abe, sa kabila ng pagkukunwaring malamig at matigas, ay palihim na sinusuportahan si Isla sa kanyang pangarap. Ngunit paano kung may ibang babae na nagpupumilit maging parte ng buhay ni Abe at palaging minamaliit ng matapobreng ina ni Abe si Isla? Magagawa ba nilang ipaglaban ang pag-ibig sa kabila ng takot, sakit, at mga hadlang?

_"She thinks I'm you, brother. And for the first time in her miserable marriage, she's finally being loved the way she deserves."_ *Sophia's father's gambling debt sold her to the ruthless Kane family like she was just another asset to collect.* Now she's married to Adrian Kane, superstar striker who touches her like she's a chore he can't wait to finish. A touch that feels more like punishment than passion. But some nights, he comes to her different. His mouth worships every inch of her. His hands make her ache for more. She tells herself it's still him—maybe the pressure has fractured something inside her husband's mind. But the truth isn't pressure or split personality. Those passionate nights aren't her husband at all. It's his psycho identical twin brother claiming her in the dark, giving her the passion he believes Adrian doesn't deserve to give. Damien knows how to make her beg—the wrong Kane with all the right sins. He watches her when she sleeps. He learns every secret she's never dared to confess. And when he slides into her bed wearing his brother's face, she forgets how to scream "no." He says she belongs to him now. He says she'll never escape his obsession. And the most twisted part? She's starting to crave the monster in the dark more than the man she was sold to. *But what happens when Adrian discovers the deception?* *And how far will Damien go to keep the woman he's claimed as his own?* *When the truth finally comes to light, which Kane brother will she choose—and will she even have a choice?*

Exactly Five years ago, I discovered my union with my ex-husband was all a cruel lie. Before we married, my best friend Mirabel had introduced him to me as her brother. He was a poor talented but unrecognized fashion designer then, so I picked him up and helped him build his career with my father’s wealth. We later got married, and he eventually coerced me to sign off my father’s asset to his name and reeled by my undying love for him, I did. I trusted and believed that nothing could ever break us apart that I never saw Austin’s betrayer coming! First, I found out my best friend wasn’t his sister. They were a couple who had been having an affair under my nose, and it had been their plans to steal my heirloom. More heartbreaking enough, the day I found out was the day I discovered I was pregnant after three years of marriage. Austin, having gotten what he wanted, divorced me and threw me on the street with his seed growing inside me. He didn’t know, and I never intended to tell him. All I wanted was to hurt him back and take back everything he stole from him. However, helpless and left with nothing, I couldn't fight Austin back. I relocated to another city where I gave birth to twins who had rare talents. Five years later, their Talents brought me unexpected fortune. Now the most powerful and influential woman in the world, I could finally bring my bastard ex-husband to his knees... As if fate was on my side, everything fell right into place until it all came crumbling down again!

He called me disposable. The Tribunal called me property. They both forgot what Lunaris does to cages. I was the Alpha’s kept woman for five years—his secret, his softness, his sin. Then, the night his missing Luna returned, Alpha Daire Vhaloren stood on the balcony with a cigarette dangling from his fingers and told me, without even looking, “You should go” So I did. Obedient. Quiet. Disposable. I left with his gifts, a deed to a house… and a secret I never planned to carry. Three months later, headlines screamed that Daire’s empire had collapsed. Frostveil Manor sealed. Nightmoor Covenant assets set for auction. The woman he “chose” over me, Calista Dravenne, smiled for the cameras like she hadn’t just burned his world to the ground. I tried to stay gone. Until the High Howl Tribunal branded me a recoverable asset and announced a “live appraisal” of Lot One—the pregnant omega they swore belonged to them. I went back for answers. What I found wasn’t the untouchable Alpha who dismissed me. It was a man with stubble on his jaw, a hunted kind of murder in his eyes… and a voice that made my knees weak when he said, “Why are you here, Elowen?” Because he rejected me once. Because he replaced me. Because he doesn’t know the truth. And because the bond he tried to throw away is coming for us both—along with the child he never knew I was carrying. Now Daire wants a contract marriage to save what’s left of his pack. I want revenge… and protection. But when an Alpha realizes the woman he discarded is his fated mate—and the lost heir of House Lunaris—he doesn’t beg politely. He hunts. ---
