Now he’s back—and he wants answers. Caught between her carefully planned life and a powerful man who doesn’t take no for an answer, she must decide. Will she keep him at arm’s length and raise her child on her own… or let herself fall into the kind of love she never wanted in the first place?

“I want blood,” Rowan said, and suddenly his fingers pierced deep into my chest. The feeling of pain was almost non-existent but I could feel life slipping away from me. Blood gurgled in my mouth and it flowed from the corner of my mouth. “Why Rowan?” I asked, but the answer to the question became even more obvious to me. My face was poise, graceful even at the face of death. “Why did you do this? Why did you betray me?” I asked him, my hands reaching up to cup his face and he leaned into my hand, snuggling his face. Then affectionately, like he hadn't just betrayed me, he leaned down to kiss my lips. “I love you, my queen, but I'm tired of your benevolent rule, tired of drinking that disgusting artificial blood. I want a killing spree, I want suck my fangs into human's warm blood vessels! Slave them!” Rowan said, his face suddenly tainted with anger, one that also left as quickly as it came. “I'm surprised you think you would succeed,” I said, trying to laugh but it only made the blood flow faster. I was getting drained of blood really quickly. “You won't succeed,” I said, laughing disdainfully, “I will take revenge on you, tear you to pieces!” Rowan grinned, saying mockingly, “I look forward to your return, your majesty!” As soon as his words fell off his mouth, his arm swiftly and accurately pierced my chest, precisely digging out my heart. Blooms of blood appeared on the bed sheet, like some kind of cruel artwork. “Moon Goddess, please give me a chance to be reborn!” I silently pleaded, just before my heart was harvested. At this moment, the dazzling full moon suddenly emitted a blinding white light.

“Yllena, come here!” masayang bungad ng kaniyang asawa ng makapasok siya sa opisina nito. Nakita niya ang pagsilay ng matamis na ngiti sa labi ni Grae, ang kaniyang asawa. Lumapit siya dala ang isang sobre na naglalaman ng resulta ng kaniyang utrasound nitong umaga. Tamang-tama ito dahil ngayong araw ay unang anibersaryo ng kanilang kasal. Habang siya ay papalapit ay papalakas ng papalakas ang pintig ng kaniyang puso. Magkahalong excitement at kaba dahil alam niyang matutuwa ang asawa. Ilalabas na sana niya ang laman ng sobre ng bigla itong magsalita. “Evie’s back.” Biglang nanuyo ang kaniyang labi at natuod siya sa kinatatayuan. Ibinalik niya ang papel sa sobre. “I want a divorce, Yllena. Siya ang mahal ko,” dugtong nito. Ni hindi manlang inisip ni Grae ang mararamdaman ni Yllena samantalang simula pa lang ay alam na niyang mahal siya ng babae. “Oh sige,“ tipid niyang sagot. Mabilis pa sa ala-kuwatrong inilahad ni Grae ang Divorce Agreement papers para pirmahan ni Yllena. “Here, naayos ko na agad. Pirma mo nalang ang kulang!” masaya nitong sabi.

Lucerys Montblanc,” sambit niya. “Yes, I am. Death is not the answer, woman, but rather revenge,” kunot-noo nitong sabi. “Make him pay! Join me, Yllena!”dugtong nito.

I was pregnant. On my way to deliver documents to Tristan Goldberg, a flash flood struck. Desperate, I dialed his number, praying he’d answer. After a few rings, the call connected. But instead of Tristan, a woman’s voice answered. "Tristan, whose number is this? Do you want to answer it?" There was a brief pause, and then Tristan’s voice, cold and indifferent, cut through. "It’s just my maid. Ignore it. Hang up." And just like that, the call disconnected. Staring at the torrent rising around me, my pulse quickened. I texted him, begging for him to send a rescue team. Minutes passed as the waters climbed to my waist, churning and relentless. Then, a message from Tristan finally appeared. Tristan: [What kind of ridiculous story are you making up now?] Tristan: [Emily, do you think you're eighteen, playing these childish games? I want that document in my hands within thirty minutes, or we're getting divorced.] A surge of terror shot through me as I looked up, catching sight of a heavy branch snapping loose and crashing down. In an instant, everything went dark.

My husband took our six-year-old daughter on a fishing trip, but when his first love called, he left her alone to answer his phone. With no one watching her, our daughter fell into the sea, and we never recovered her body. Heartbroken, I called him and begged him to return, but his voice was cold as he said, “Cheyenne, today’s Queenie's birthday. Can you stop being such a buzzkill?” When I stumbled back home in despair, I found his first love clinging provocatively to him, a smug smile on her face. “What’s got you so upset, sis-in-law?” she sneered. I let out a cold laugh and flipped the dining table over. “As long as you’re alive, I’ll never be happy.”

James got to his feet and slowly advanced towards Lucien. His eyes suddenly predatory. “How much did my parents offer you to spy on me?” He repeated.

James placed his hand on Lucien's neck and leaned forward. “Cat got your tongue?” James inquired, his mint breath fanning Lucien's face. “Why don't you answer me, Lucien? How much did my parents offer you to risk your life like this?” Lucien couldn't speak. He was too scared to. At this moment, his body, mind and soul instantly froze. He could literally see his life flashing before his eyes. Was he going to die? He had seen how James countlessly murdered people in cold blood… would he do the same to him? “I'm willing to forgive for your betrayal, Lucien, because…” James leaned in and pressed his lips on Lucien's neck. Lucien flinched. “... I have a thing for you. Well, that's if and only if… you're willing to become my… perfect toy.” James leaned backward and glared into Lucien's eyes, his thumb slowly grazing his trembling lips. James smirked, “So cute. Make a choice now, Lucien! Die right here in the middle of this room… or be my toy!” *** Money was the only reason Lucien agreed to spy on his billionaire boss, who was secretly an underground Mafia leader.
