Fiancée

Isang puwesto na lang ang natira sa lifeboat nang lumubog ang yate, ako ang pinili ni Hendrix Zuckerman. Nailigtas ako, pero hindi ko kasing palad si Yana Bridgeton. Hindi na niya nahintay ang ikalawang lifeboat nang malunod siya sa karagatan, tuluyan na ring nawala ang kaniyang katawan. Nagkunwari si Hendrix na wala siyang pakialam habang ipinagpapatuloy niya ang aming kasal nang naaayon sa aming plano. Sa limang taon naming pagsasama pagkatapos naming ikasal, inginudngod niya ako sa dumi habang sinisisi niya ako sa pagkamatay ni Yana. At nang manghingi ako ng divorde dahil hindi ko na ito kaya pang tiisin, napagdesisyunan niyang mamatay kasama ko. Nang muli kong imulat ang aking mga mata, bumalik ako sa araw kung kailan nangyari ang aksidente sa yate. Pero sa pagkakataong ito, napagdesisyunan ko na bigyan ng tiyansang mabuhay ang taong pinakamamahal niya.

After my grandmother passed away, I returned from my countryside home to Oberis City, ready to tidy things up and prepare for my wedding. But no sooner had I arrived at the wedding planning company, ready to book an extravagant, luxurious wedding, than the staff there delivered a piece of news that struck me like a thunderbolt. The groom—my groom—had already gotten married. Three months ago, Cain Bassett, the eldest son of the wealthiest family's conglomerate, tied the knot with his childhood sweetheart, the daughter of the mayor of Lith City—Mary Schindler. Now here I stood, frowning in front of the grand gates of Cain's villa. But the thing is, I am Mary Schindler, the daughter of the mayor of Lith City.

She was erased. Now she’s back—with a new face, a new name, and a plan to burn everything down. Five years ago, Katherina Vance had it all: a powerful family legacy, a child on the way, and a future with the man she loved. Then one rainy night shattered everything. Betrayed by her fiancé and sister, left for dead in a staged accident, and robbed of her child, Katherina vanished. Now, reborn as Scarlet Wilde, she returns as her ex’s assistant—unrecognizable, untraceable, and merciless. Every smile hides a weapon. Every touch is a trap. She’ll take back everything. She’ll destroy the sister who stole her life. And the man who broke her heart? He’s next. But vengeance has a price—and so does desire.

Limang taon na nakulong si Brianna at inakusahan na manloloko ng pamilya Smith at ng fiance nito na si David. Pagkalabas ng kulungan ay pinilit itong mag-donate ng kidney para sa anak ng mga Smith na nauwi sa isang trahedya. Buong akala niya ay tuluyan nang nawalan ng pakielam si David sa kanya ngunit sa burol ni Brianna ay labis ang naging pag-iyak at pagwawala ng lalaki na taliwas sa inaasahan ng lahat na magsasaya siya. At pagkatapos ng tatlong taon, nagulat ang lahat nang makita nila si Brianna, ngayon ay fiance na ng kapatid ni David, buhay at ibang-iba na sa Brianna na nakilala ng lahat. David and the Smiths are all mad... ngunit nagulat ang lahat nang halos magmakaawa si David para lang balikan siya ng dalaga. Ngunit paano gagawin iyon ni Brianna kung halos lahat ng trauma na dinanas niya ay nagmula nang makilala niya ang lalaki?

"Fuck, you're so tight for me," Ryder growled against my ear, his hips slamming forward in a deep, punishing thrust that made my back arch off the bed. I gasped, nails digging into his shoulders as he filled me completely, stretching me. "Harder... please..." He pinned my wrists above my head with one large hand, the other gripping my hip hard enough to bruise. "You want it rough, baby? Then beg for it properly." My body trembled under him, slick and desperate. The words spilled out before I could stop them. "Please... Daddy... fuck me harder." A dark, satisfied rumble vibrated through his chest. He leaned down, teeth grazing my neck, voice low and filthy. "Good girl. Come all over Daddy's cock. Show me how much you need this.” *** On my wedding day, I caught my fiancé Dylan Voss and my step-sister Helene fucking each other in a room. Heartbroken and humiliated, I walked away from the altar. That's when Ryder Hawthorne—Dylan's powerful, ruthless stepfather—found me. He carried me to his penthouse, and in a haze of rage and need, I seduced him. We fucked like it was war: rough, and desperate. When Dylan walked in and saw me riding his stepdad—he felt betrayed and stormed out. I felt satisfied and vindicated. It was supposed to be one night. We were never supposed to see each other again. Until I desperately took a job at Hawthorne Prosperity Group to save my dying grandmother…and discovered Ryder was my new boss. One rough, forbidden encounter in his office, and he offered me to be his personal slut, in return he'd pay Gran's bills. I had no choice and accepted. Payback became obsession. My ex wants me back, but Ryder refuses to let go. Now I’m caught between revenge and surrender.

Labindalawang taon ng pag-ibig, katapatan, at pangako—winasak sa isang iglap ng putok ng baril. Buong akala ni Andrea, alam na niya ang tunay na kahulugan ng pagmamahal. Sa loob ng higit isang dekada, ibinigay niya ang lahat—tiwala, pasensya, at sarili sa lalaking tinawag niyang fiancé. Para sa kaniya, ang pag-ibig ay pananatili. Pagpili araw-araw. Kahit masakit. Hanggang sa Araw ng mga Puso. Habang nasa bingit sila ng kamatayan, isang baril ang nakatutok at sa sandaling iyon, malinaw na malinaw kung sino ang pinili ni Edward. Hindi si Andrea. Kundi ang ex niyang si Margaret. Siya ang niyakap. Siya ang pinrotektahan. Si Andrea ay iniwang duguan, sugatan, at parang hindi kailanman minahal. “You almost died!” sigaw ni Lira. “And he didn’t even look at me,” sagot ni Andrea, basag ang boses. “Parang wala lang ako.” Sa pagitan ng wasak na puso at natitirang dangal, gumawa si Andrea ng isang desisyong walang atrasan. Pinakasalan niya ang pinakamakapangyarihang kaaway ni Edward, ang lalaking kinatatakutan sa mundo ng negosyo na si Dylan Reed Romero, bilang paghihiganti. Ngunit si Dylan ay hindi simpleng rebound. Siya ay dominante. Mapanganib. Mapang-angkin. At sa kabila ng lamig niya ay may isang uri ng proteksiyong hindi kayang ibigay ng lalaking minsan niyang minahal. Ngayon, nahaharap si Andrea sa pagitan ng isang pag-ibig na bumigo sa kaniya, at isang lalaking maaaring humingi ng higit pa kaysa sa kaya pa niyang ibigay. Sa huli, magiging una na ba siya sa puso ng isang tao—o tuluyan na niyang mawawala ang sarili habang sinusubukang magmahal muli?

Naging Stripper sa isang Bar si Selene matapos niyang masangkot sa isang S*x Scandal kasama ang mapapangasawa sana ng Pinsan niya. Napa-tragic no'n para sa kaniya dahil itinakwil siya ng mga mahal niya sa buhay. Kaya naman natuto siyang buhayin ang sarili sa pagbebenta ng kaniyang katawan. Ngunit hindi niya inaasahan na magku-krus muli ang landas nila ni Dreyk Sebastian... ang lalaking nakasama niya noong kinidnap siya't sapilitang pinags*x dito. Una'y inalok siya nito ng desenteng trabaho hanggang sa natuon sa pagpapakasal nito sa kaniya. Dreyk had the power and money she needed in life, kaya naman um-oo na siya. But then, as the marriage took deeper there were secrets unveiled. Dreyk impregnated a woman and so on. Would Selene surpass all the consequences of loving Dreyk? Or will her heart torn apart after hearing lies from him?

“You’re playing a dangerous game, Kitten,” he warned, his eyes cold as he watched her hand slowly trace his exposed abs. The corner of her lips quirked up, and then she leaned forward, stuck out her tongue, and then lapped at his ear slowly and sensually. In a split second, she was flipped over and then pinned to the wall. “You asked for this, Kitten.” His emotionless face finally changed as he revealed a scorching gaze that surprised her. She wanted to protest, but it became a gasp when she realized his hand had crept beneath her gown. His hand began to move, and her gasp soon changed into moans. His other hand had never let her neck go as he squeezed tighter. “That’s right! That is what I want to hear. Since you asked for it, I’ll make you moan till your voice is no more and you have reached your limit. Even then, I won’t stop.” Jasmine was plus-sized, but she was happy because she had a fiance who she believed loved her, a step-sister who could die for her, and loved ones who treated her like a princess. Well, that all changes when her fiancee dumps her at the altar after body shaming and scamming her of all she had. To worsen things, she finds him in bed with her step-sister. Left with no one, as even those she believed to be her loved ones deserted her, she supposedly committed suicide. Three years later, she turns up at her step-sister’s and ex-fiance’s wedding, looking astonishingly different. As if that weren’t enough shock, she suddenly declares that she isn’t back for her ex-fiancee but his gorgeous hunk of a father. And to their utter disbelief, he accepts her proposal.

"I just want to ask you one question before you walk away Hailey. How loud do you think you'll scream when I fuck you”? My name is Hailey King, and I’m living a lie. I’ve hidden the truth from everyone including my own brothers just to keep what I do and who I really am a secret. It’s not that I want to lie, it's just that I don't have a choice. I thought I was holding it all together, thought I was strong until I saw Jayden Knight last New Year’s Eve. He stripped me bare—emotionally and physically. Jayden is everything I want but everything I know I can’t have. We’ve known each other most of our lives, but I’ve kept my distance since I turned eighteen, because I knew deep down he was dangerous to my carefully built façade. And I was right. After that night we spent together, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about him or how completely he ignited something in me I didn’t know still existed. Now, I crave Jayden like he’s a drug I can’t quit… and that one unforgettable night still haunts me. But I'm in for a surprise the next morning.

The night before our wedding, Jason Scott receives the cancer diagnosis of my adopted younger sister, Helena Sanderson. His expression falters, and he says indignantly, "We'll cancel the wedding tomorrow, Victoria. Helena is very fragile now. I can't risk upsetting her at this point in time." I reply, "I don't agree with it! Why would my wedding upset her?" Jason doesn't show any displeasure after my rejection. He even thoughtfully prepares a glass of milk for me. … When I wake up the next morning, I realize the house that should be full of excitement is eerily quiet. Anxious, I dial Jason's number 99 times. He only picks up the call on my 100th try. "Where did my wedding dress and shoes go?" I ask. Jason falls silent for a moment. His tone is apologetic when he replies, "I'm sorry, Victoria. Helena wants to experience being a bride once. I can't let her leave with regrets. Please bear with this for now. I'll make it up to you once she passes away peacefully." As the line goes dead, I sit frozen on the bed, unable to recover for some time. … A month later, while Jason is on his honeymoon, I send the livestream of my wedding announcement with his rival, Frank Lawrent, directly onto his phone. Jason regrets it bitterly.
