Brightest Day Blackest Night

I was in San Aria Bay with my mom, enjoying a quiet, sunlit getaway, when my phone suddenly lit up with a string of messages from my husband's ever-arrogant secretary. She sent a photo. The woman in it had been stripped naked, her body covered in blood, the sight almost unbearable. A voice message followed, her tone dripping with disdain. "Jeannie, do people like you always take advantage of others like this? "Mr. Smith just bought this house, and you already had your mother move in for free? As his chief secretary, it's my responsibility to remove anyone living off him."

Pitong taon na ang nakalilipas, hindi sinasadyang nakaniíg ni Yvangeline "Yvee" Alejado ang isang arogante, dominante at malakas na CEO na si Gideon Isaac Revamonte. Nagkamali siya ng silid na napasukan at inakalang si Gideon ang lalaking binayaran niya para sa isang mainit na gabi. Tulad ng plano at inaasahang mangyari ni Yvee, nagbunga ang isang mapusok na gabing iyon dahilan para makalaya siya sa masamang plano ng kaniyang sariling ama. Nanganak siya ng kambal na lalaki. Nawala ang isa at naiwan si Atticus sa kaniya. Sa pagbabalik ni Yvee para hanapin ang kaniyang nawawalang anak, muli niyang nakatagpo si Gideon. At sa hindi inaasahang pagtatagpo ng kambal, gagawa sila ng paraan para buuin ang kanilang nasirang pamilya ngunit paano nila pahuhupain ang galit ng isang Gideon Isaac Revamonte sa babaeng inaakala niyang inabandona ang kanilang anak at iniwan siyang mag-isa sa ere? May pag-asa pa kayang mabuo ang kanilang pamilya? Paano kung malaman niyang may kaugnayan pala si Gideon sa kaniyang yumaong ex-fiancé?

On our wedding night, my wife led my younger brother onto our marital bed. He was wearing nothing but his underwear. She expected him to consummate our marriage in my place. "Sweetheart, I feel awful about your legs and what the doctors said about your infertility," she said softly. "Elliot will just have to help us for one night." My face hardened as I stepped forward. I was ready to throw Elliot Charlton out of the bedroom. However, my parents immediately sided against me. "You're the one who can't fulfill your role as a husband," they said sharply. "Elliot is willing to sacrifice himself so that you can have a child. What's wrong with that?" Even my brother laughed at me. He said I was not a real man and told me to accept things while I still could. According to him, I should be thankful to gain a son without doing anything. They even suggested that I stay and watch, claiming it would prove the two were only trying to conceive a child and nothing else. I clenched my teeth until my jaw ached, then turned and called my wife's greatest rival. "You win," I said quietly. "The Wallace family's investment will be transferred to your account tomorrow." After ending the call, I raised my eyes and looked at Janet Wallace. "You share his bed tonight," I said. "Tomorrow, we get divorced."

Three years of marriage, and I'd become known in our social circle as the ultimate doormat. My husband staying out all night, his silent treatment, bringing his first love home to flaunt in my face—through it all, I'd smile and make him hangover soup, keeping the house spotless. Everyone thought I loved him to the point of madness. Even he believed it. Until the day of the divorce, when he begged me with tears in his eyes not to leave—and then watched "me" collapse rigid to the floor after a power outage, revealing a charging port on the back of my neck. He lost his mind. Meanwhile, the real me was lying on a beach in the Maldives, running my fingers through the hair of a gorgeous twenty-something with a six-pack, cheerfully pressing the "factory reset" button.

They met in a bar and things led to a steamy night. What's next? How will they react when they wake up next to each other?

Lilian asks him, surprised. "I am the CEO of this company and this is my building", he answers. "Oh shit, I am here because of some work", she replies. "Well . . . in that case, how about we recreate the steamy night that we spent together once again? I really cannot get you and your body out of my head", he says coming closer to her. "Oh really? Then how about we have a quickie right here and right now on your desk?", she asks with a confident smile. ------------------------------------- Richard Matthews is a widower, billionaire and CEO known for his ruthless ways of treating women.

"Siguro pwede naman nating gawin ito bilang isang beses lang." Sabi niya, "Halos nangyari na ito dati..." Ngunit mabilis niyang pinigil ang sarili at sa halip ay nagsabi, "Hindi naman malalaman ng nanay ko, bibiyaan kita." Sabi niya, tila lubhang desperado. "Hindi mo maiiwasang humiling pa ng higit pa, Scarlet," Mahinang pagtatalo ni Adrian. "Kung ganun, hindi naman ako makakasala kung gawin ko 'yon." Matapang niyang ipinagtatanggol. "Ibig sabihin, bakit hindi mo na lang iwan ang nanay ko at makipag-date ka na lang sa mga kapantay mong edad? O sa tingin mo ikaw lang ang kasintahan niya? Marami siyang lalaking handang tumulong sa kanya, at sa huli, iiwan ka niya. Ako naman ang may pera." "Hindi ako nagmamalasakit sa pera." Patuloy na mariin na sabi ni Adrian. "Alam kong wala itong kinalaman sa tunay na pag-ibig. Ano ba talaga ang gusto mo sa nanay ko? Ano ba ang hawak mo sa kanya?"   Si Scarlet Davenport, isang mayamang hariessa at ang tanging nabubuhay na anak na babae ng isang biyuda at mapagmahal na sa mga lalaki na si Vivian Davenport, ay nagising nang makilala si Adrian Hartfield—ang lalaking agad niyang nainlaban matapos silang magkita sa isang club—bilang posibleng bagong tatay niya. Sa unang pagkakataon sa kanyang kabataan, napagtanto niyang maaaring kailangan niyang labanan ang lahat ng mga hadlang para ipaglaban ang kanyang prinsipe kahit na mangahulugan ito ng paggamit ng mga paraan ng pang-uakit para makuha si Adrian. Kapag napansin ng mga masasamang pwersa ang mga kahinaang ito ng kanilang pamilya at magpasya itong samantalahin para sa kanilang sariling kapakinabangan, mauunawaan kaya nina Adrian at Scarlet ang kanilang pinagsama-samang lakas nang sapat na maaga? Malalampasan kaya nila ang mga pagsubok?

How will you feel when you end up with the same person you were trying to find an escape from? How will you feel when you end up in a one-night stand with your Ex-husband? Her eyes fluttered as she felt the morning cool breeze brushing against her bare body, which was semi-covered with a quilt. Although her eyes felt heavy to even blink, her other senses were high alert. She could hear the bird chirping outside the windows, she could smell a familiar masculine cologne, her body covered with goosebumps with the presence of someone familiar, and her heart beats rapidly on its own accord. That's when her brain registered her surroundings and could recollect her last passionate night with someone who would be her soon-to-be ex-husband. How? When? Why? She mentally slapped herself, but then she couldn't hide the contentment. She felt as if she was complete now. She couldn't stop but feel happy again. Why? Why does she feel like falling in love again? "I see you are still the w***e you were back then," his words broke her little dream she just thought of. "A desperate woman like you, who can with her ex-husband, can no wonder w***e around any men." He said with no remorse. "I did the right thing by divorcing you. How much do you charge for a night?" he smirked, looking at her teary face. "Here! Take extra 200 bucks for the sake of our old times." She vowed never to cry in front of her husband, but what he said just now shattered her soul beyond repair. Her quivering body and hollow eyes didn't hide the agony she felt at that very moment. "Sorry for loving you."
