Bright Lights

Itinaya ni Jean Antoinette Marcelo para sa kaniyang pag-ibig: from her career opportunities to her own bright future. Isinantabi niya ang bawat oportunidad na dumating sa kaniya dahil lang sa pagmamahal niya sa isang lalaki na inakalang mahal din siya. Her dreams shattered nang bigla na lang naglaho ang lalaki at tinangay pa nito ang kaniyang pinaghirapan bilang isang mananahi sa isang maliit na boutique. To make matters worse for her, nalaman pa niya na ipinagpalit siya ng kaniyang fiance sa kaniyang ate. Her parents disowned her na para bang siya pa ang gumawa ng pagkakamali sa kanila. She’s so broken na inakala niyang katapusan na niya. She was on the verge of giving up her own life nang may kumuha sa kaniya on the spot bilang secretary ng isang kilalang CEO. Inaasahan na niyang mahirap ang kaniyang trabaho. But then, hindi niya inaasahang mas mahihirapan siya sa pakikisama sa kaniyang boss. Kyle Zander Villaester was known for his perfectionist nature. Bawat gawa niya nahahanapan nito ng butas. He could easily tear her down with every rejection sa kaniyang trabaho. Sa kabila ng bawat pagkakamali niya ay hindi siya nito tinatanggal sa trabaho. Instead, he let her repeat everything hanggang sa makuha na niya ang gusto nito. Bumalik ang kaniyang ex-boyfriend na para bang wala itong ginawang kasalanan sa kaniya. Out of desperation, binanggit niya ang pangalan ng kaniyang boss bilang bagong boyfriend, even if alam niyang mali iyon. Kyle Zander knew that he had nothing to do with her affairs, but his ego told him to claim Jean Antoinette as his. “Ano ngayon kung nagkaroon kayo ng relasyon? You were her past, she is mine now. Gusto mo siyang bawiin? You have to pay the heavy price.”

When Diana sacrificed everything to save the Silver Moon Pack, she never imagined that her mate, Alexander, would spend eight years punishing her for it. After losing their unborn child to a vicious attack from Alexander's lover, Diana begs for freedom from her loveless union. But dark secrets lie beneath the surface—secrets that could shatter both packs. The birth moon approaches, and Diana must decide whether to keep her promise of silence or finally break free from the Alpha who never wanted her. A tale of betrayal, sacrifice, and the thin line between love and hate. At the Silver Moon Pack's annual full moon ceremony, I was viciously shoved to the ground by Alexander's female companion, Selena. Wearing silver-tipped boots, she stepped directly onto my swollen belly. In an instant, bright red blood stained my white ceremonial dress. Alexander glanced at me with a slight frown. "Pregnant but not staying in the den to take care of yourself? Out here challenging pack hierarchy again? Trying to frame Selena, aren't you? The sacred ground is stained with your blood—so unlucky! What a disgrace to a Luna!" After saying this, he turned away without hesitation, wrapping his arm around Selena's waist as they left. Even the urgent howls of the pack healer didn't make him look back at me once. The bitter wolfsbane medicine churned inside my body, and in the end, the pup couldn't be saved. Clutching my now-empty belly, I had just come out of the healer's den when I saw Alexander on the pack's communication crystal, passionately marking Selena with his scent. A sharp pain shot through my abdomen, piercing straight into my heart. Wiping the cold sweat from my forehead, I looked at my mother-in-law standing by the healing bed. "Elder Mardanna, it's been eight moons. The Silver Moon Pack's crisis was resolved long ago. I really want to break the mate bond. Please, let me go..."

After being reborn, I secretly switch the man I want to marry the most to the useless scion who loves flirting with me that lives next door. My dad, who's a high-ranking military colonel, is quite surprised by my choice, but he respects my wishes. In my past life, when Dad asked who I liked the most in the entire neighborhood, I had written down Damian Conrad's name. He nodded and told me, "This man has contributed greatly to the country despite only joining the army for three years. His future will definitely be a bright one. "A man as just and fair as him will undoubtedly be a good man who takes good care of his family and stays devoted to them." Dad immediately arranged for the two families to meet. Everyone thought that it was a rare and fated union. Our wedding was very grand and high-profile. Most of the people living in the military base came over to celebrate our wedding. But Damian set off for the frontier half a year after our marriage, with the excuse of wanting to contribute to the country. Not only did he leave me behind to take care of my in-laws on my own, but he also cut off all contact with me when Dad was severely ill. When I was finally done dealing with Dad's funeral matters, all I received was the bad news of Damian's death at the frontier. Crushed by the devastation and despair of the news, I fell into severe depression. Soon, I took my own life by jumping off the building. After my death, my soul refused to fade away at all. 40 years later, an elderly man and woman with graying hair showed up before my grave. With an arm around Heidi Myers' waist, Damian paid his respects to me at my grave. "It's my fault for lying to you back then, Carla. But Heidi doesn't have much time to live, so I can resort to desperate measures. Please let everything go and stop pestering her, Carla. If you really are resentful, feel free to come at me instead." It turns out that Damian loved Heidi this much that he was willing to fake his death just to trick me. But at the same time, they were so superstitious that they thought I was the one pestering Heidi, causing her to be afflicted with a terminal cancer. Now that I found out about the truth, I finally let my obsession go. When I open my eyes again, I realize I've returned to the day Dad asks me who I want to marry the most.
