BEHIND THE BROKEN MARRIAGE Si Alyssa Reyes-Delgado, isang matagumpay na obstetrician at mapagmahal na asawa, ay pilit binubuo ang mga piraso ng matagal nang nagkakabitak na relasyon nila ng kanyang asawa, si Marco Delgado. Lumaki silang magkasama, pinanday ng panahon ang kanilang pagmamahalan, ngunit sa paglipas ng mga taon, unti-unting nawala ang init sa kanilang samahan. Sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon, muling bumalik sa kanilang buhay si Samantha Cruz, ang dating kasintahan ni Marco at ang unang babaeng nagpatibok ng kanyang puso. Ngayo’y isa nang sikat na aktres, si Samantha ay determinado na muling makuha si Marco, hindi alintana ang damdamin ni Alyssa. Habang pilit nilalabanan ni Alyssa ang sakit ng pagtataksil at muling pagbuhay ng nakaraan, isang taong di niya inaasahang magiging sandigan ang kusang lumapit—si Dr. Lucas Reyes, isang kapwa manggagamot na may tahimik ngunit malalim na pagmamalasakit sa kanya. Ngunit sa gitna ng masalimuot na damdamin at mga lihim na bumabalot sa kanilang kasaysayan, mapapanatili kaya ni Alyssa ang kanyang pamilya? O sa huli, mas pipiliin niyang buuin ang kanyang sarili kaysa magpatuloy sa isang pagmamahalang durog na? Sa pagitan ng pag-ibig, pagtataksil, at pagpapatawad, mahahanap kaya nila ang daan tungo sa muling pagkakabuo? O ang kanilang kasaysayan ay mananatiling isang alaala lamang sa likod ng wasak na pagmamahalan?

No quinto ano de casamento, Virgínia Prado reclamou que o suplemento de vitamina C que o marido havia comprado era amargo demais. Ela decidiu levar o frasco ao hospital. O médico, após examinar o conteúdo, ergueu os olhos e disse que aquilo não era vitamina C. — Doutor, pode repetir o que disse? — Perguntou Virgínia. — Repetir quantas vezes não vai mudar nada. — Respondeu o médico, apontando para o frasco. — Isto aqui é mifepristona. Se for ingerido em excesso, não só causa infertilidade, como também prejudica seriamente o corpo. Virgínia sentiu a garganta apertar, como se algo a estivesse sufocando. A mão dela que segurava o frasco ficou pálida de tanto que ela o apertava. — Isso é impossível. Foi o meu marido que preparou isso para mim. Ele se chama Marcus Mello. Ele também é médico aqui no hospital. O médico ergueu a cabeça e olhou para Virgínia com um olhar estranho, carregado de algo difícil de decifrar. Por fim, ele sorriu de forma enigmática e disse: — Senhora, é melhor você procurar o setor de psiquiatria. Todos aqui conhecem a esposa do Dr. Marcus. Há dois meses ela deu à luz. Não perca seu tempo, querida. Você não tem chance.

It was never part of my plan to get attached. I was just a freelance model, newly signed under a rising modeling agency in town. Everything was supposed to be simple; work, exposure, growth. Then came Dr. Aria Williams — dermatologist, surgeon, and the woman who was supposed to fix me. Chaos started the moment I met her. The way she talked, the way she looked at me felt like she was studying every inch of who I was. Every word I said, every silence I made, she read me like I was her favorite patient. It made me uncomfortably hot, and yet... I kept coming back. I told myself it was part of the therapy, the strange pull I felt toward her was part of it. But the way she looked at me; cold, curious, almost hungry, said otherwise. I hated her for it. I felt it every time her voice softened, every time her fingers lingered on my skin longer than they should. She called it treatment. I called it control. What started as therapy turned into something dark and deeper. I wanted to be beautiful, to be ready for the public, but what we craved became something private, something only between us. And the more sessions I had with her, the stronger the connection grew. Until one day, her eyes focused on someone else. And every time their eyes met, it burned through me. When she saw it, she offered something that challenged me. To be her slave and she'll be mine— alone. Soon, I found myself following her every order, fulfilling her desires without question. Along the way, I realized her obsession had become mine too. And before I could stop, the hate I once felt for her turned into something else.

I saved the man who destroyed my family. Dr. Emma Lawson has spent five years hating billionaire Damien Cross. His corporate takeover crushed her father's company, shattered her parents' marriage, and forced her to work three jobs just to survive medical school. Then he crashes onto her operating table. Bleeding out. Dying. One slip of the scalpel. No one would question it. But Emma took an oath. Even monsters deserve to live. When Damien wakes with amnesia, his assistant offers Emma $200,000 to pretend she's his girlfriend. Just three days. One merger vote. Then she walks away. Emma agrees. Not for the money. For revenge. What she doesn't expect: Damien without his memories is nothing like the ruthless CEO she imagined. He's vulnerable. Protective. Looking at her like she's his entire world. What she doesn't know: Damien has been watching her for five years. The photo in his wallet. The surveillance files. The reason he destroyed her father's company. It was never about business. It was about protecting the woman he couldn't stop thinking about from a conspiracy that would have killed her entire family. As fake feelings become dangerously real, Emma discovers the truth: their families weren't destroyed by corporate greed. They were caught in a pharmaceutical conspiracy involving illegal human trials, billions in black market research, and a man who will do anything to perfect a drug that was never meant to cure. Some debts are paid in money. Some are paid in blood. But the debt between Emma and Damien? That one can only be paid in truth. She saved his life. He's been saving hers for five years. Now they have three days to save each other.

Dr. Elara Vance's life is defined by exhaustion, crushing student loans, and grueling 30-hour residency shifts. Her passion for medicine is her singular focus until the brutal, careless discovery of her boyfriend Daniel’s long-running affair shatters her foundation. Seeking oblivion, she allows her best friend to drag her into Manhattan's elite world, where she collides with Liam Sterling, the notoriously private and ruthlessly efficient tech CEO. ​Their intense, desperate one-night stand is a blur of emotional destruction, a mistake Elara vows to bury. But weeks later, fate delivers an impossible complication: she is pregnant with the tech mogul's child. ​Liam, a master of cold, transactional risk management, moves swiftly to contain the scandal. He ambushes Elara with the "White Coat Contract," an impersonal legal offer promising immediate, full payment of her crippling medical school debt and complete financial security. But his protection comes with a crushing price: Elara must resign or significantly scale back her demanding residency. This requirement threatens to extinguish the medical career she bled for, forcing her to choose between stability and her identity. ​Forced into this high-stakes arrangement, Elara enters Liam's sterile, controlled world, furious at the man who views her life’s work as a liability. Yet, their forced proximity blurs the sharp lines of the contract. She brings chaos and warmth to his ordered life, and he, in turn, sees the fierce dedication that transcends her financial profile. With her professional life precariously balanced, Elara must decide if Liam’s love is worth the risk of losing her identity, and he must decide if his obsession with control is worth losing the only person who has ever truly challenged the sterile efficiency of his world.

At four months pregnant, I went to pick up my prenatal test results with my husband, Aiden Carter, who was an OB-GYN. The smile at the corner of his lips froze the moment he saw the report. Without a word, he grabbed my hand and tried to schedule an abortion. I stood there in shock. The attending physician, Dr. Marianne Cole, had just told me the baby was perfectly healthy! I tore myself free and demanded, "Why do you want me to get an abortion?!" He didn’t answer and had already scheduled the procedure. When I tried to run, he yanked my arm tighter. "There's no way we are having this child!" Clutching my belly, I hurried to call my parents, who were both OB-GYNs themselves. Dad, who had always doted on me, raised his fist, aiming straight for my stomach. Mom’s face twisted in horror, shaking her head wildly. "No, this won’t work. It can’t be like this." "Find a few men. Lock Clara Hart in with them." I didn’t understand why they were so desperate to destroy my child. All I wanted was to escape. Instead, they locked me inside a pitch-black room. When I felt the blood trickling down my legs, I knew my baby was gone. Mom came smiling to fetch me. I fought, demanding to know why they had done this to me. Without responding, she turned around and sent me straight to Ravenwood Asylum. I was tortured to death there. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the very day I went to collect my prenatal report. Aiden looked at me, his face glowing with joy. "Baby, this is our first child. I can’t wait for the day he’s born."
