Scarlet Quinn Reyes, at the age of sixteen, she was infamous for being a liberated playgirl. Boyfriend here, boyfriend there. Basta mayaman at kayang ibigay ang mga luho niya, pasado na iyon sa standards niya. Para sa kaniya, ang mundo ay isang malaking playground. Kayang-kaya niyang paikutin sa palad ang mga lalaki na para bang mga laruan. Her usual targets were much older men. She faked her age, even her personality, just to get what she wanted. Not until Renzo Riku Alcantara came into the picture. He was Scarlet sister’s cousin-in-law, known for being kind and responsible. Bukod pa roon, siya rin ay ubod ng yaman at hindi rin maitatanggi ang angkin nitong kakisigan—mga katangian na nagtulak kay Scarlet para siya ang susunod na targetin. But unlike the men Scarlet had toyed with, Renzo was not swayed by her charm. Ang gusto pa nga niya ay ituwid ang landas ng dalaga para magbago ito. Nagpakakuya siya kay Scarlet, tipong halos lahat ng mga nagiging kasintahan ng dalaga ay ipinapakulong niya. Sa sobrang pagdidisiplina niya kay Scarlet, hindi niya namalayang sarili na pala niya ang dapat disiplinahin... dahil unti-unti na siyang nahuhulog sa dalaga. Ngunit pinigilan niya ang damdamin dahil bata pa ito. Nagpakalayo-layo siya. Saka lang siya bumalik noong debut party ni Scarlet. Ang kaso… buntis na ang dalaga. Ngunit iniwan siya ng tunay na ama ng dinadala niya, kaya si Renzo mismo ang umako at nagpaka-responsable sa bata. Pero sa pagbabalik ng tunay na ama, pipiliin kaya siya ni Scarlet... o mananatili siya kay Renzo?

My billionaire dad chooses a husband for me. People claim that Sebastian Lambert is a fine gentleman who's absolutely in awe of me. He seems easy enough to deal with, so I agree to the marriage. The wedding is held at the biggest hotel my family owns. On the big day, as I push open the doors in my wedding dress, a bucket of foul-smelling blood comes crashing down on me. The scene inside is even more horrifying. What was supposed to be a pure and romantic ceremony is now decorated with giant spiders and cockroaches. Grotesque clown faces grin at me from the walls. At the altar, there's a black coffin. Sebastian's adoptive sister, Ruth Lambert, strolls over with a group of people. She covers her mouth in fake surprise as she remarks, "Oh my, Claudia, you look like a pathetic mutt right now!" Laughter erupts around me. Holding my anger back, I coldly reply, "All of you, get out." She crosses her arms, arrogantly looking down at me as if she's on some pedestal. "Come on, Claudia. Seb personally asked me to surprise you. I put in a lot of effort to decorate your little wedding. You're telling me to get out? I don't even get a 'thank you'? Do you need me to teach you some manners?" She signals to the people next to her, and two of them step forward, trying to force me to my knees. Stunned for a few seconds, I pull out my phone and call Sebastian. "Is this the so-called surprise you had your sister prepare for me? Forcing me to kneel before her?"

On their fourth wedding anniversary, Elise Livington tells her husband, Victor Gardner, that she wants a divorce. Victor's expression darkens, and his gaze goes sharp. "It's all because I was accompanying Quinn when she was in labor instead of spending time with you, huh?" Elise replies, "That's right." Over the past four years, Victor has been traveling between Domavia and Maeveria. During the countless times Elise needs him the most, he's always seen accompanying Quinn, his older brother's widow, and her child, Daniel Gardner. Three days ago, Quinn returned to Domavia. She and Elise accidentally fell into the pool together. However, Victor's immediate response was to save Quinn first. When Elise was wrongly accused of hurting Daniel and was forced to kneel on the pebblestone path, Victor outright ignored her plight. Elise has been in love with him for eight years. Never once has she doubted his love for her. But now, for the first time ever, she begins doubting the love she has for him. "That's enough." Victor rips the divorce agreement apart. "I'm doing this for Vaughn's son. I won't spend time with them anymore, if that's what you want." Elise merely says, "If you shred one document, I'll just print another one. We'll keep this cycle going until you sign the papers." The cold glint in Victor's eyes is instantly replaced by shock. He quickly grabs Elise's hand afterward. "You've been with me for eight years—from the time we started dating till we finally got married. Can you even bear to let this relationship go once and for all?" Elise draws her hand out of Victor's grip calmly. "It's always possible to let anything go." … To Victor, the notion of the Earth being flat is more possible than the idea of Elise divorcing him. They have been together for eight long years, after all. There was once when Elise kneeled outside the Gardner residence in the downpour just so she could get married to him. Heck, she even gave up on the opportunity to further her studies abroad. She has sacrificed this much for his sake! How can she ever bear to leave him? But when Victor receives the divorce certificate, he's left stunned. In the countless days after that, he lets go of his ego and pride as he sinks to one knee outside Elise's residence, his expression filled with plea. "Please, Elise… Please open the door and let me in…"

I did three things when I had made a decision to leave Alpha James. The first thing I did was throw all the precious gifts he had given to me. The second thing I did was secretly donate the wooden house he had built for our future and tear up the ceremonial dress that was custom-made for me on our marking day. The third thing I did was go to the Northern Territory to guard our pack, so I cast all ties with the entire pack and disappeared into the tribe. What he didn’t know was that I had quietly planned my departure while he was out hunting and spending countless nights at the Moon River with Doris, his childhood sweetheart. I became the ideal Luna he was hoping for, considerate and tolerant. Later, he lost control and asked me: “Why aren’t you angry? Don’t you love me anymore?” I lowered my head in silence and announced my decision to leave after seeing the ambiguous messages Doris, James's sweetheart, had sent to me.
