By My Side Artinya

Four years ago, a 13 year old blackmailed me into friendship by holding my doughnut captive. We've been close ever since. But then, I noticed that I wanted to be more than just friends. I was in love with my best friend. Sadly, he didn't feel the same way. I thought my world was over. I was crushed. But to my utmost yet most delighted surprise, I just happened to fall into the arms of a certain bad-boy. Literally. He didn't just save me from what could've been a hell of a concussion that night. He saved my heart too. But hey, let's not get in over our heads now. It wasn't that easy. Not even close. After all, when two opposing worlds clash for the very first time, we cant just expect it to be all rainbows and sunshine. Now do we?

“Lily, I've found my mate.” Adriel, my husband of three years said to me. I froze, trying to process what he actually meant. It seemed like my heart stopped and I was going to fall the next minute. The door was slightly ajar when I heard his footsteps approaching. I was prompted to look ahead of him. My jaw dropped. “Carly?” I gasped, rubbing my eyes to check out if this is actually a dream. It's real! ~Lily's life comes tumbling down when her husband of three years brings back her twin sister as his new mate and introduces her to the pack. He rejects her and asks her to leave his estate and pack with immediate effect. That day, the ruthless Three Alphas of the West, well-known mafias visited the pack estate to get the thirty million dollars Adriel borrowed from them but he was unable to return it, so they took her as compensation. What will her fate be now she's taken to a new pack and is under the control of three hot, charming yet ruthless Alphas? What happens when she realizes she's pregnant with her ex-husband's baby? Will these Alphas turn her away or will her life take an unexpected turn?

Dumped by My Boss, Claimed by the Ruthless Billionaire (SPG) Vanessa Williams spent three years living a secret life—executive secretary by day, Gerald’s secret lover by night. Para sa iba, siya ay bayarang babae at nakakahiya ang ginagawa niya. Para kay Vanessa, ito ang paraan para matustusan ang mahal niyang lola na may malubhang sakit. She convinced herself that sacrifices like this were necessary, kahit na pilit niyang tinatago sa puso ang pangarap na mahalin din siya ng kaniyang boss. Pero lahat ng iyon ay naglaho sa isang iglap nang bumalik ang unang pag-ibig ni Gerald, at bigla siyang naging walang silbi sa mata nito. Binayaran lang siya ng husto para sa tatlong taon niyang serbisyo at pinauwi siya kasama ang perang pambayad sa medical bills ng lola niya. Nakita niyang masaya si Gerald sa piling ng babaeng matagal na niyang minahal. At sa puso niya, kahit na pilit niyang ipinagkakaila, nasaktan siya. She thought one day, he’d notice her, he’d choose her… pero mali siya. Sa galit at kalungkutan, napunta siya sa isang bar. Isang gabing walang kwenta, isang lalaki na hindi niya kilala, at alak na nagpalakas ng loob niya. Kinabukasan, nang nagising siya… may singsing na sa daliri, at may lalaking nakatingin sa kaniya—na nagpakilalang asawa niya. From being used… to being claimed. She is now the wife of the country’s most dangerous and richest billionaire—Sebastian Montefalco. A man who could make her feel invincible, yet could also hurt her. And above all—a man she would never let go. Matutunan kaya niyang mahalin at tanggapin ang lalaking magiging katuwang niya sa paghihiganti kung hindi na siya naniniwala sa pag-ibig?

I thought the divorce would set me free. I thought walking away from my husband would finally give me peace. But I didn’t expect him—my cold, sinfully dangerous stepbrother—to be the one waiting on the other side of my freedom. Rage Roswell doesn’t ask. He takes. And the moment he found out I was no longer married, that I was vulnerable, alone, easy to steal… he stepped in like a storm I couldn’t escape. He pinned me with those cold eyes and said one thing: “You’re mine now.” I should’ve run. I should’ve fought the tension, the heat, the hunger he ignites with just a stare. But he knows every weakness I try to hide. Every tremble. Every breath. Every part of me I shouldn’t be giving him. After the divorce, I thought I was reclaiming my life. Instead, I walked straight into the hands of the man who’s willing to burn everything—everyone—just to claim me. And this time… He won’t let me go.

I’d been dead a month before my family even noticed. It wasn’t concern that brought them to that realization. It was my silence after the so-called “dinner” with Adam Rossi, the infamous mafia boss. My father scoffed like always,“She probably shacked up with that bastard. Too busy spreading her legs to pick up the damn phone.” My sister texted me a photo of them smiling under the Christmas tree, ornaments twinkling like nothing was wrong. Bitch, she wrote. You better talk Mr. Rossi into working with Dad, or you might as well be dead already. And my mother—once the softer one—was now colder than the frost on their windows. “I told you, we should’ve sent Gia to charm Mr. Rossi. Serena always screws things up.” They didn’t think I would die. Not until they found my body—broken, rotten, and forgotten—in Adam Rossi’s basement.

After reuniting with my birth family, my wealthy biological father tossed me a black card and laid down one rule: I could spend as much as I wanted, but I was never to call him Dad—that title belonged only to his adoptive daughter. Clutching the black card, I cautiously bought myself a two-dollar-fifty ice cream cone. Just as I was happily licking the sweet ice cream, the adoptive daughter dropped to her knees before me. "Alice, are you mocking me because I can't even afford something that costs two-fifty in the future?" My brother immediately slapped me twice. "You have money now, but you can't split love. Natalie is my one and only sister!" Then my father splashed boiling water onto my face. "No disgraceful wretch deserves to be a Gervais." To punish me, they sent me off to Rimala, forced to work as a child laborer in the mines. Ten years later, I walked into a grand banquet hall with an ice cream in hand and came face-to-face with my brother, Ansel Gervais, dressed in a hand-tailored suit. "All these years and you're still a disgrace," he sneered, but I couldn't be bothered to argue. "Let go. My dad's waiting for me—and if I'm any later, the ice cream's going to melt." He looked down at me with contempt. "Dad? Who gave you permission to call him that? Natalie will forever be the only Gervais girl—no one can take that away from her!" I rolled my eyes. Who said I was talking about that cheap excuse for a father? I was talking about my adoptive father—the oil tycoon with an incurable sweet tooth. I was in a hurry to let him taste some ice cream.

When my mother walked away from my cheating father and married my professor, I thought our lives were finally settling I was wrong—dead wrong. Moving into the Sterling mansion at nineteen threw me into a world I wasn’t prepared for: a dangerously charismatic billionaire… and his two equally irresistible sons. Ethan. Luca. Victor Sterling. Three men. One house. And all of them looking at me like I’m something they intend to claim. At campus, they watch me. At home, they rival for me. Their jealousy is explosive, their obsession merciless, and their desire… completely forbidden. I should run. I should fight. Instead, I’m caught between men who are meant to protect me—not want me. But the real danger isn’t their obsession. It’s the secret they’re all hiding. Because in the Sterling mansion… I’m not just the new bride’s daughter. I’m the prize in a silent war between father and sons. And they'll burn everything— before they let anyone else have me. This book is for readers 18+
