Crimson Rain Sought Flower

Sialan! Semesta seolah sedang meludahi wajahku tepat saat jemariku hampir menyentuh tirai cahaya Aurora di langit Moonsphire.  Mimpi itu sudah di depan mata, namun mereka kembali datang untuk merenggut nyawaku—tepat sebelum keajaiban semesta dimulai. ​Ternyata, kecantikan dan bakatku yang dielu-elukan di atas panggung sandiwara hanyalah sampah di mata pria itu. Semua lampu sorot dan tepuk tangan penonton tidak cukup untuk memenangkan satu keping hatinya.  Jauh di belakangku, di dalam kegelapan yang pekat, dia justru membagi ranjang dan rahasia dengan sosok yang paling aku percayai. ​Pengkhianatan mereka adalah belati yang jauh lebih tajam daripada pedang mana pun yang pernah menembus dadaku. ​Tujuh kali. Tujuh kali aku mati bersimbah darah, menyaksikan mereka berdua tertawa di atas panggung sandiwara yang mereka bangun dari kehancuranku. Dan tujuh kali pula aku ditarik paksa dari liang lahat, bangkit dengan dendam yang membakar namun selalu kandas di tengah jalan.  Waktu telah menjadi labirin yang menyesatkan, dan kini aku tersungkur di sini; terperangkap dalam kastil megah yang tak lebih dari sekadar peti mati berlapis emas. ​Aku bukan lagi seorang selebritas yang dipuja banyak orang. Aku adalah sosok yang terbentuk dari dendam yang belum terbalas, yang ditulis oleh darah dan perselingkuhan.

'อยู่กับฉัน เป็นเจ้าหญิงของฉัน อย่าคิดหนีเด็ดขาด ถ้าฉันไม่อนุญาต...'

Nicole Summers had to step up for her stepsister Kendra and marry Nathan Monroe, a guy everyone claimed was both unattractive and poor, just to help cover her niece's medical expenses. She believed those rumors until the wedding day when she discovered Nathan was actually kind-hearted and handsome. To her shock, he turned out to be the same guy from that one-night stand who rescued her at the casino. He was way more charming than people said, and as the days went by living together, she found herself developing feelings for him. But what if she learned that Nathan was actually a billionaire and owned the company she worked for? What if she found out he was the one who helped her niece get the best doctor for her recovery? When Nicole decided to forgive him, she learned he had returned to his ex-fiancée who had left him at the altar.

My childhood sweetheart has aplastic anemia and desperately needs a bone marrow transplant. His brother agrees to help, but there's a catch. "I can save him, but you need to marry me." My lover ultimately dies because of medical negligence. I'm heartbroken but still marry Martin Steinfeld per my promise. During the wedding, he gets on one knee before me. His gaze is loving as he says, "I'll treat you well for life, Audrey Lynch. I'll be a thousand times better than Henry; I won't let you shed another tear." I look at his face, which is so much like Henry Steinfeld's. I believe him. Three years after our marriage, I'm five months along when I stumble upon Martin with his mistress. He wraps an arm around her and sighs. "She still can't forget about that dead guy despite us being married for so long. She's not like you, who only has eyes for me. "If not for her insisting on marrying Henry and ruining my future, I wouldn't have had to take my own brother down so much earlier than planned." My blood runs cold, and I tremble all over. Hatred consumes me, and I only have one thought—I have to destroy Martin!

After my father’s death, I decided to divorce my husband, Captain Marcus Hale, and stay in Pine Ridge Village forever. On the first day, I tricked Marcus into signing the divorce papers. On the fifth day, I handed in my resignation to my old unit at Fort Haven. On the seventh day, I cooked a full table of food and said farewell to all my friends. Frowning, Marcus accused me of making the very meal his childhood sweetheart, Julia Summers, hated. I stood up and raised my glass to toast her. From this day on, Marcus and I would have nothing more to do with each other. Half a month later, I saw Marcus returning from a mission in Pine Ridge Village. Only this time, the country evening breeze brought tears to his eyes.

Kyson Hale, the regimental commander, finally agrees to let me live with him on the military base. But in return, our son isn't allowed to address him as "dad". Kyson and I have been secretly married for eight years. I've taken care of his parents in the countryside for that long as well. After the death of his parents, my son, Darryl Hale, and I request Kyson to let us live with him on the military base. He agrees to our requests, but he has a condition of his own. "Once you've reached the military base, you shall declare to everyone else that you're just my relatives from the countryside." Only then do I realize that Kyson has another family of his own in the military. Some time later, I leave the army with Darryl without looking back. But Kyson, who's always been cold and distant, is alarmed by our disappearance.

It was Sienna and Clyde’s second-year anniversary, at nagplano na isurprise ni Sienna si Clyde sa pamamagitan ng isang dinner sa isang restaurant. Nakaplano na din siyang ibigay ang virginity niya dito na matagal na nitong hinihingi sa kanya, pero hindi siya nito sinipot at hindi sumasagot sa mga tawag niya. Para hindi masayang ang kanyang gabi, naisipan niyang pumunta sa isang bar para mag-enjoy. Tinawagan niya ang bestfriend niyang si Valentina, and just like Clyde, hindi niya rin ito makontak. Iyon pala ay niloloko na siya ng mga ito. At sa bar na iyon ay nakilala niya ang isang estranghero na nagligtas sa kanya sa pambabastos ng mga lalaki noong nalasing siya. His name was Tyler Anderson. Nauwi sila sa isang one-night stand at ito ang nakakuha ng kanyang v!rginity. Wala na sanang problema dahil hindi na sila ulit magkikita. Ang kaso, ninong pala ito ni Clyde. Hindi niya alam kung paano haharapin ang ninong ng boyfriend niya lalo na’t sinabihan din ito ni Clyde na siya din ang maging ninong sa kasal nila. Noong magkasakit ang kanyang tiyahin, si Tyler ang sumagot ng pagpapaopera nito, dahil ayaw siyang tulungan ni Clyde. Para makabayad sa utang niya kay Tyler, inalok siya nito ng one-hundred thousand pesos per session ng kanilang pagniniig, at pumayag siya. Paano niya ngayon mahihiwalayan si Clyde gayong nahulog na rin ang loob niya sa ninong nito?

When I submit my resignation letter, my boyfriend, Daniel Carter, happens to have an arm around the new intern, Kimberley Lester, while teaching her how to secure a deal that's worth ten million dollars. After he's done with his lesson, he finally spares my resignation letter a glance. "What are you on about this time, my dearest sales champion?" I reply calmly, "I've already transferred all details of the company's clientele to others. I don't want any bonuses and commissions of this quarter. In fact, I've already had the finance department recall the funds and list it as the company's funds." Daniel is stunned for a moment. But he still thinks that I'm trying to gain his attention by sacrificing my own benefits. "You don't want money, huh? Then what do you want? You want me to fire Kimmy? Or you want me to give you some of the company's shares?" He passes a cup of coffee to me, thinking that I'll act the same way I did in the past—that I'll endure everything and keep working my ass off for the sake of my sales team. But I just shake my head. Now, I just want Daniel to watch his company fall into bankruptcy.

I start a livestream in the middle of the road before torching down my luxurious mansion that's worth ten million dollars in front of the entire Internet. Everyone claims that I've gone nuts. "I can't believe she actually burned a mansion that's worth ten million dollars! She must have gone cuckoo in the head!" I watch the inferno from my spot on the street, feeling extremely pleased. When the firefighters and the police arrive at the scene, I honestly admit to having burned down the mansion. Then, I request the police to arrest me on the spot. "I'm an arsonist, you see. I have mental health issues, so please arrest me as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'll burn down more houses." In my previous life, I had bought this mansion as an engagement gift for me and my fiance, Nigel Taylor. But this was also the very same mansion that ruined my life permanently. Nigel and my best friend, Olivia Williams, had gotten together behind my back. Those bastards betrayed me. After they spent the first half of the night drinking, they sped down the road in a car. But after hitting a few pedestrians, they fled from the scene. Then, they hid the offending vehicle in the garage of the mansion before spending the rest of the night together in bed. The next day, Nigel and Olivia cleared the scene of all traces and made me the perfect scapegoat for their crimes. I couldn't even defend myself when I was faced with all solid evidence that pinned the crimes on me. In the end, I was thrown behind bars. My reputation was instantly ruined. Not only did my company go into bankruptcy, but my parents also fell ill. In the end, they were beaten to death by the debtors who showed up on their doorstep. When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the night Nigel and Olivia are about to commit the crimes. This time, I won't give them a chance to falsify any clues.

My love story with my Don husband was once the model relationship for couples all across Edale. But after his sudden death, the notary informed me that I was not the first in line to inherit his estate. I froze. Christian Fuzio was an only child. His parents had long passed away. We had no children. If I wasn't the first in line, then who was? That was when the boy walked in. His face was a perfect copy of Zoe Sgotti, Christian's assistant. The boy crossed his arms and sneered. "Mrs. Fuzio, the person my father loved most in his life was my mother. Of course, most of the inheritance belongs to us." Rae… Ray… Only then did I realize that the name he had whispered on his deathbed was never mine. I lunged forward to question Ray, but he shoved me into the traffic. The moment my head slammed against the ground, darkness swallowed everything. When I opened my eyes once more… I stared at my young, strong hands. Feeling the life that I had once lost growing inside me, I finally understood that I had been given another chance. Christian, this time, I no longer wanted your fake love. I would grant the three of you all the happiness that you wanted.
