In the grand church where her dreams are meant to come true, Belva Moguel’s world shatters in an instant. A damning video plays—Pascha Romanov, the man she’s about to marry, tangled in betrayal with her best friend. The vows remain unspoken, the promises broken before they even begin. Heartbroken, Belva walks away from everything: the man she thought she knew, the family she cherished, and the perfect future she had once envisioned. Five years passed. In San Francisco, Belva rebuilds her life from the rubble of the past, living peaceful days with the big secret she’s been hiding: a little boy the world has never known, let alone his father. Yet, her fragile peace crumbles when destiny thrusts her back into the path of the man who once shattered her heart. A ghost from her past who ignites chaos with a single, reckless night of passion. His intoxicating charm pulls her into a whirlwind she swore she’d never revisit, leaving her reeling from the thunderous echoes of her mistake. Pascha is no longer the man she knew. He has turned into a cold, vengeful figure with a dark charm that shakes Belva's walls. Amidst the chaos, Belva must face the fact that Pascha has another woman by his side, while she desperately protects the secret about their son. As past and present collide, Belva is caught between love, betrayal, and a choice that could destroy everything. Can she hold on to the world she has built, or must she give up everything, once again?

His smoldering golden gaze struck sparks from hers. “I wanted you the first time I saw you nearly three years ago. Now I want you even more.” “Me too... I've been waiting for this for so long… Three years might seem an eternity sometimes. Touch me, Diego. Please,” she mumbled shakily. “I will, 'cariño'… And I won’t stop. Not until you beg me to.” "Then... Don’t you ever stop…” she whispered urgently, shifting her hips in a restive movement against the sheet, wildly, wickedly conscious of the growing ache at the very heart of her. “Never…” "Is this a promise?" "A certainty." For sexy, mysterious Mexican aristocrat Diego Francisco Martinez del Río, Duque de Altamira, Jacqueline Maxwell was a gypsy, a weirdo living in awful conditions. And she was raising his orphaned baby niece in… a trailer! So unacceptable! Since she wasn’t giving up on little Azura, and his niece was very fond of her aunt, Diego offered to marry Jacqueline and raise the little girl together. Yes, she was poor but she was a real beauty, and with a little help, Jacqueline might become a perfect wife for a Duque. Graceful, beautiful... delightful, even. Jacqueline Maxwell knew Diego and his kind all too well. He was as stunning and charming as the devil himself, but twice as ruthless and heartless. He was just a playboy interested in one thing and one thing only. And it had nothing to do with little Azura. Still, accepting his proposal of a marriage of convenience might be the end to all her worries regarding the little girl left in her care by Alyssa, her sister...

A whole year passes like this until Cassian is visiting San Francisco for business and decides to drop in on her, hoping to rekindle their flame. He finds her with a baby, and realizes quite quickly that it’s his.

Jusqu'à mes dix ans j'ai été la fille la plus heureuse du monde. J'étais insouciante. Je prenais du plaisir à aller partout. Les gens que je rencontrai à San Francisco n'avait aucun préjugé sur ma couleur de peau. Que j'ai la peau blanche, des cheveux crépus(enfin plus bouclés que crépus quand même) et blonds, des yeux tirant sur le vert et tout ça avec un père noir, une mère et un frère métissés n'a jamais fait tâche. Jusqu'à ce que j'arrive à Dakar C'est dans la ville où j'aurai dû me sentir plus chez moi où je me suis sentie étrangère et non désirée. Les gens en dehors du cercle familial me regardaient bizarrement. J'ai découvert la méchanceté gratuite et la mise en quarantaine alors que je ne suis porteuse d'aucun virus mortel ni autre maladie grave. Juste parce que je suis albinos je mérite qu'on me traite de la sorte. À la limite je préférai être mise en quarantaine parce que quand on me parle c'est pour me traiter de sorcière, de Djinn, d’être maléfique et je ne sais quoi d’autres. On a même accusé ma famille d'avoir pactisé avec le diable pour être riche et que j'étais le résultat de ce pacte. Devant moi certains parents ne se gênaient pas d’interdire leurs enfants de m’approcher. Au début ça me touchait mais maintenant ça ne me fait plus rien. . Ce qui est bien dans mon cas c’est que j’ai tout ce que je veux. Il suffit juste de demander.

Si Alera Cardinal. S'ya ang babaeng go lang ng go sa buhay. She can be your girlfriend, and she can be your mistress. Ang trabaho ni Alera bilang isang paid sl*t ay walang sinasantong sitwasyon at relasyon . She doesn't care kung may asawa ba ang lalaki or my girlfriend ito, malaking wala s'yang pakialam. All she needs is to ride that man and earned money. Of course, lahat ng lalaking nakaka-sex n'ya laging sinasabi sa kanya na mahal s'ya ng mga ito. She replied `` I love you too" pero it was a big joke. Hindi s'ya naniniwala sa pagmamahal dahil ang paniniwala n'ya ay hindi lumiligaya ang lalaki sa pagmamahal. Dahil kung marunong magmahal ang mga ito ay bakit nagiging kabit s'ya at nagiging pangalawang girlfriend ng iba. Alera is a wild stripper. Pero paano kung isang araw ay may isang Hitler Francisco ang mag pagpaparamdam sa kanya ng tunay na pagmamahal? Mababago ba ang paniniwala n'ya? Hitler nurture Alera a love na hindi nito pinaniniwalaan. Si Alejandro ay galit sa sl*t woman dahil magagamit ang tingin n'ya sa mga ito. But, except Alera. Pero paano kung isang araw na kung kailan malapit na ang kanilang kasal ay tsaka pa malalaman ni Alera na ang ama ng binata ay naging sugar daddy n'ya noon na naging dahilan ng hiwalayan ng mag-asawa na s'yang dahilan ng binata to hate the sl*ts, at ngayon ay bina-blackmail s'ya ng ama nito. How will Alera escape sa sitwasyon at sabihin ang totoo sa lalaking mahal n'ya na s'ya pala ang dahilan kung bakit nasira ang masaya nitong pamilya. Paano n'ya gagawin iyon kung maaaring mawala ang taong mahal n'ya at nag iisang nagmamahal sa kanya. Maglalakas-loob ba s'yang magsabi ng totoo, o magpapa-alipin na lang s'ya sa ama nito as his secret sl*t in order to keep her secret.
