Breakaway Grace Reilly

"Once you touch me, you're mine!" Yan ang mariin kong sinabi sa fiancé ng stepsister ko. Ako si Grace Cutanda, 25 years old — isang babaeng walang pakialam sa mga taong nasasaktan ko. Mas pinili kong maging matigas at walang puso dahil 'yan ang nagligtas sa akin mula sa mga mapanlinlang na tao. Nagbago ang lahat nang magpakasal ang aking dad sa isang oportunistang babae. Sa isang iglap, ang tahimik naming buhay ay napuno ng kasinungalingan at pagkukunwari. Kasama niya ang anak niyang tila perpektong babae sa mata ng lahat — si Bianca. Pero alam ko ang totoo. Sa likod ng kanyang mala-anghel na mukha ay isang babaeng sanay mang-agaw at manira. Hindi siya nagdalawang-isip na ipakita kung paano siya paborito ng lahat, habang ako ang laging nasa tabi, tila isang anino. At ngayon, ang fiancé niyang si Andrew — isang successful na businessman na may mapanuksong titig at nakakapanghinang presensya — ay parang isang gantimpala na ipinagyayabang niya. Pero sa tuwing nagtatama ang mga mata namin ni Andrew, para bang may lihim na pagnanasa at pagtataksil na bumabalot sa pagitan namin. Alam kong mali. Pero bakit tila ako ang mas nanaisin niyang piliin? At sa huling pagkakataon, binalaan ko siya. "Once you touch me, you're mine." Ngunit handa ba akong akuin ang mga magiging konsekwensya ng mga salitang binitiwan ko?

Anaya Grace Santillan was a woman deprived of a complete family. Her mother died when she was twelve years old, and her father quickly remarried.

But what if, on her wedding day, she chose instead the man who arrived last at the hotel and pulled him before the altar? Before the man could speak, she demanded he sign the marriage contract so she could escape her torment. Aurelius Kael Quinn Gutierrez, the only child of the Gutierrez family—Asia's wealthiest and most prominent business magnates—owns various companies and will inherit his parents' empire. He never expected to be powerless against the woman who insisted on marrying him, despite her family problems. Nevertheless, he's prepared to be her bodyguard, sugar daddy, and even stalker to ensure her safety. But what if, due to a misunderstanding, she hides their child from him?
