Capital Novel John Lanchester

“She was untouched, innocent, and desperate. He was ruthless, dominant, and determined to have an heir.” --- Nang mag-apply si Solenne Villareal bilang maid sa mansyon ng isang bilyonaryo, ang tanging hangad lang niya ay magkaroon ng maayos na trabaho para maipagamot ang kanyang inang may sakit. Pero sa mismong araw ng pagpirma niya ng kontrata, biglang tumawag ang kapatid niyang si Julian—isinugod daw sa ospital ang kanilang ina matapos atakihin ng seizure. Sa sobrang kaba at takot, hindi na nabasa ni Solenne ang buong kontrata. Pinirmahan niya ito nang hindi iniisip ang magiging kapalit. The next morning, she learned the devastating truth. She wasn't hired as a maid. She was chosen as a surrogate bride. Ang kanyang employer, si Caelum Valtieri, ang cold at merciless billionaire, ay sinabi ang totoong nilalaman ng pinirmahan niyang kontrata. Siya ay magiging surrogate mother ng magiging heir nito at sa loob ng isang taon ay magsasama sila sa iisang bubong bilang mag-asawa. Bilang kapalit, ipagagamot ang kanyang nanay na may sakit at tutustusan ang pag-aaral ng kapatid niya hanggang sa makapagtapos ito. Gustong mag-back out ni Solenne nang malaman ito, pero nang makausap niya ang doktor na sumusuri sa kanyang Nanay Emilia ay sinabing kailangan nitong maoperahan kaagad, kung hindi ay baka manganib ang buhay nito. And with no choice left, she accepted the bargain that chained her to the man she feared the most. Para kay Caelum, isa lang siyang kontrata—isang sisidlan para sa tagapagmana. Para kay Solenne, siya lang ang natitirang pag-asa ng kanyang ina. Ngunit sa kasal na sinelyuhan ng desperasyon at kapalit na buhay, posible kayang mamagitan ang pag-ibig sa pagitan ng isang ruthless CEO at ng inosenteng babaeng napilitang ibigay ang lahat?

Si Ivan Alejandro Montenegro ay isang matagumpay na negosyante na lihim na nagtatag ng sarili niyang kumpanya—isang imperyo na walang nakakaalam, kahit ang sarili niyang pamilya. Nasa rurok na siya ng tagumpay at handa nang magsimula ng bagong buhay kasama ang babaeng mahal niya, nang isang trahedya ang sumira sa lahat. Sa isang malagim na aksidente, nawalan si Ivan ng kakayahang makalakad. Kasabay nito, nawala rin ang respeto ng kanyang pamilya at ang pagmamahal ng kanyang fiancée na agad siyang iniwan nang makita ang kanyang kalagayan. Isa-isa ring kinuha sa kanya ang lahat ng proyekto at responsibilidad sa kumpanya, na para bang wala na siyang silbi. Sa desperasyon na mailigtas ang apo, kumuha ang matanda ng isang caregiver mula sa probinsya—si Ayesha Dela Cruz, isang simpleng babae na may matapang na puso at hindi natitinag sa sungit ni Ivan. Sa kabila ng malamig na pagtanggap nito, pinili ni Ayesha na manatili at alagaan siya, kahit paulit-ulit siyang itaboy. Dahil sa nakakalason na kapaligiran ng mansyon, dinala si Ivan sa probinsya kung saan nagsimula ang kanyang paghilom—hindi lamang sa katawan kundi pati sa puso. Sa katahimikan ng lugar at sa malasakit ni Ayesha, unti-unti niyang natutunang magtiwala muli, harapin ang sakit ng nakaraan, at muling lumaban sa buhay. Ngunit habang siya ay nagpapagaling, lihim din niyang binubuo ang plano ng kanyang pagbabalik. Hindi alam ng kanyang pamilya na ang lalaking kanilang minamaliit ay siya ring may hawak ng tunay na kapangyarihan. Ngunit sa gitna ng kanyang paghihiganti, may isang tanong na mas mahalaga kaysa sa kayamanan o kapangyarihan: Pipiliin ba ni Ivan ang galit… o ang pag-ibig ng babaeng naghilom sa kanyang pusong wasak?

Hindi inakala ni Franny Harlow na magiging kanyang trabaho ang pagiging nanay-tatay (nanny)—lalo na para kay Enzo Westbrook, ang walang awa na bilyonaryo na kilala sa pagiging malamig, katulad ng imperyo ng bakal na kanyang itinayo. Ngunit dahil sa dumaraming utang at kailangangi alagaan ang kanyang anim na taong gulang na anak na lalaki na si Mason, kumuha siya ng trabahong ito at determinadong panatilihing propesyonal lamang ang lahat. Matagal nang isinarado ni Enzo ang kanyang sarili sa mundo, dahil sa kalungkutan dulot ng trahedyang pagkawala ng kanyang asawa.

Ngunit nang pumasok si Franny sa kanilang buhay, lahat ay nagbago. Nagsimulang ngumiti muli si Sophie, naging bunsong kapatid na lalaki ni Sophie si Mason, at hindi inaasahang nahulog si Enzo kay Franny.

Ngunit ikakasal na si Enzo kay Victoria Langley, isang babae na perpektong umaangkop sa kanyang mundo—ayon sa papel. At si Franny, na hindi pa rin nakakalimot sa kanyang nakaraan, ay ayaw niyang maging lihim na kasintahan ng sinuman. Kapag sumiklab na ang damdamin at lumitaw na ang mga tinatagong emosyon, kailangang gumawa ng desisyon si Enzo: manatili ba siya sa buhay na puno ng tungkulin at pagkakasala, o ipagsugal ang lahat para sa babaeng nagbigay-buhay muli sa kanyang puso?

Catherine swore she would never fall into his arms. But John Blackwell had money, dangerous lips, and an absurd talent for dismantling her will. When she agreed to live with him, she thought desire would be enough. It wasn’t. The pressure from his family made him choose a “worthy” wife—and left her shattered. But billionaires never quit the game. John came back to claim her body and her love. Everything was fine... until Álvaro, his charmingly toxic friend, decided to make her his next conquest. Now Catherine is trapped between two men who want her with the same ferocity that could destroy her. And the problem is that sometimes temptation tastes better than loyalty.

Riya Lance was born into power but never freedom. Daughter of a ruthless hotel tycoon and heir to a fading fashion empire, her life was nothing but a cage wrapped in gold. That cage shattered the night she stood before all and declared her divorce, blowing apart the merger that bound her family to the feared Moreau dynasty. She was betrayed, ambushed, and thrown into the sea. She should have died. Instead, she survived; scarred, with broken memories and a burning need for revenge. With new allies in the shadows, Riya rose again, building herself into a ghost powerful enough to strike back. But the deeper she digs, the darker the truth becomes. The Moreaus were only pawns. The true mastermind is the Don; an unseen hand tied to her near death experience, her father’s sins, and the only man she ever trusted: Mateo Rutherfurd. Once her guide. Now her rival. As empires crumble and buried secrets rise, Riya must choose; between love and vengeance, blood and freedom. Because reclaiming her legacy will cost her everything… and survival may demand an unbelievable sacrifice.
