Empress Ki Dramabeans

“Ahhh!…. K-uya, masakit!…” naluluhang wika niya habang dahan-dahang pinapasok ng kinakapatid niyang si Hunter ang pagkalal*ki nito sa makipot niyang kweba. “Ako ang bahala, bunso. Magtiwala ka lang sa akin. Alam kong masakit pa ito sa una dahil birhen ka pa, pero pinapangako ko sa’yo… I’ll be gentle...” "Kuyaaa!!!... Ang sakit talaga, ayaw ko na, please! huhuhuh!!!..." Parang bata siya kung umiyak. Well, bata pa naman talaga siya… ‘Yun sana ang araw ng pagiging ganap niyang dalaga dahil 18th birthday niya sa gabing iyon. "Hindi ko na pwedeng hugutin… naipasok ko na ang kalahati… ahhhh… ang sikip kasi!…" wika ni Hunter sa ibabaw niya pero lalo cyang umiyak. Humugot muna ito ng malalim na hininga bago bumaba sa ibabaw nya at tumabi ng higa. “Sorry, bunso… di ko na itutuloy. Pero promise me, akin ka na ha? Hihintayin kita. ‘Wag kang magnobyo ng iba sa Manila… akin ka lang.” Hinahaplos nito ang kanyang mukha, pinunasan ang mga luhang lumabas mula sa kanyang mga mata. “Sorry na, bunso… shhh. Don’t cry, Baby. I will take care of you. I promise, akin ka na, papanagutan kita sa pagdating ng panahon. From now on, you’re mine!” Humihikbi cyang nagtakip ng kumot sa hubad na katawan nya. Siya si Yasmin Therese Ledesma, at kinakapatid niya si Hunter Rosales. Debut party nya iyon… araw ng pagiging ganap nyang dalaga... at iyon din ang gabi ng pagkawasak ng pagkababa*e niya! Paano nya haharapin ang mga darating pang araw kasama ang kinakapatid na si Hunter? At paano naman siya seseryosohin nito kung titibo-tibo cya?

"I thought I was his wife. To him, I was just a placeholder for the woman he actually loved." For three years, Evelyn lived as a ghost. To the world, she was the penniless orphan who hit the jackpot by marrying the cold, ruthless billionaire Caleb Knight. She played the part of the perfect, drab wallflower, cooking his favorite meals, enduring his family’s sneers, and secretly using her hidden Sterling Empire connections to save his company from the brink of bankruptcy. But on their third anniversary, the fairy tale shattered. Instead of a gift, Caleb handed her divorce papers. "Seraphina is back," he said, his voice as cold as ice Humiliated and discarded, Evelyn signs the papers and vanishes without a trace, leaving behind a positive pregnancy test in the trash, a secret Caleb wasn't worth knowing. Two years later, Caleb Knight’s "luck" has run out. His empire is bleeding, and his only hope is a merger with the mysterious, untouchable Sterling Global Group. Gone is the shy, plain girl in the $10 dress. Standing there in couture diamonds, flanked by three of the world's most powerful men, is his ex-wife. She is radiant, she is powerful, and she returns with a little boy who looks just like him and a girl who shares her aura. "Evelyn?" Caleb gasps, falling to his knees. "I... I’ve been looking for you. Please, come home." She steps over his hand as if he were a piece of trash. "I’m sorry, Mr. Knight,"she purrs, her voice dripping with lethal indifference. "The wallflower you threw away is dead. This is the Empress speaking and she finds you quite... boring." He broke her heart. Now, she’s going to break his empire!

Trois ans de mariage. Pendant tout ce temps, Alex Dubois ne l'avait vue que deux fois par mois. Deux nuits sans chaleur, réduites à un simple accomplissement du devoir conjugal. Il ne s'était jamais soucié d'elle. Il ne savait rien d'elle. Jusqu'à ce que la date fixée par leur contrat arrive. Il s'était empressé de retrouver celle qu'il croyait être son amour de toujours. Mais elle lui a tourné le dos, lâchant une phrase succincte : « Alex Dubois, divorçons. Je te rends ta liberté. » À partir de là, elle n'attendait plus rien de lui. Elle avait renoncé à leur foyer, repris sa carrière, et retrouvé son éclat. Lorsqu'elle était remontée au sommet, il n'y avait plus de place pour lui à ses côtés. Mais lui, il s'était laissé charmer par son talent, encore et encore. Et ce n'est qu'au moment où elle s'était définitivement éloignée, hors de sa portée, qu'il avait appris la vérité. Cette femme qu'il avait repoussée, ignorée, oubliée à deux reprises, toutefois, c'était elle qui, sans jamais hésiter, avait tout quitté pour rester à ses côtés, simplement pour lui rendre une dette qu'elle n'avait jamais oubliée. Il avait regretté, mais il était déjà trop tard. Car entre-temps, elle était devenue une femme tellement exceptionnelle que plus personne n'osait approcher. Inaccessible. Inégalable. Intouchable. Il avait voulu rattraper le passé, la reconquérir. Mais la réponse qu'on lui donnait avait été cinglante : « Madame ne veut plus être la femme du milliardaire. » Alors cette fois, les rôles allaient s'inverser. Et lui, il n'allait plus reculer devant rien.
