Frivolous Veronica Lancet

My brother was a twisted, paranoid psychopath. When I was ten, my parents were murdered. Both my legs broke off while I tried to save my brother. I became his only family and also Achilles’ heel. Those who mocked me as a crippled would have their bones broken, and anyone who tried to hurt me would be smashed into a pulp. As he reclaimed our family’s fortune, he became “the Devil” in Amberwater, a man no one dared to offend. Yet, he alone spoiled me like I was a little princess. Everyone knew that Lucas’s sister was untouchable. He had sent me abroad to receive the best treatment. The day that I could finally stand up again, I received an invitation to my brother’s engagement banquet. “Veronica, we’re going to have a new family member soon.” I heard that his fiancee was the daughter of a wealthy family. She was gentle and virtuous. I dressed beautifully to meet her and planned to give her the jade bracelet that my mother had left behind. However, she had me kidnapped and taken to an abandoned construction building. “You lowly little witch. I’ll rip that face of yours since you’re such a seductress. I’ll see how you’ll steal my man now!” She crushed my mother’s heirloom, broke all my limbs, and ripped my face off. Then, she ordered a dozen men to torment me to death. In the end, she stuffed me into a gift box and sent it to my brother. “Dearest, this is your wedding gift. Do you like it?”

When you truly love someone, mistakes will never change your feelings because the mind only gets angry but your heart still cares and that's all that matters. Veronica Chrystelle Valderama is your typical ideal woman. Maganda, matalino yun nga lang brat sa paningin ng ibang tao. She has everything a woman could have but she's not the type who keep everything for herself. She is helping a foundation for orphans and less fortunate children but she's kept it a secret. She's an heiress, an international model and she had anything every woman wished to have pero sa kabila ng tinatamasang karangyaan nananatiling mababa ang kalooban nya. She maybe bratty and spoiled but she's also sweet and generous at all times. Hanggang sa nakilala niya ang isang gwapong negosyanteng matalik na kaibigan ng Kuya niya. Masungit, suplado at lahat na lang ata ng katangian nito ay kinaiinisan niya. He is... Ret. Major, Nathaniel Devon Castillo, an ex-military, a businessman with oozing with sex appeal. But their first encounter didn't leave her a good impression. One day the guy showed up in their mansion, not to visit her brothers but to be her...personal body guard. She's irritated, irked and dismayed but she can't do anything because her father decided. She promised to herself that she'll do anything to annoy the guy but little did she know she's falling for him...so hard to the point that she doesn't know how to recover. Their relationship started and ended too fast, yong tipong kakasimula palang, natapos din agad sa di malamang dahilan. Malalampasan kaya niya ang sakit ng katotohanan kapag natuklasan nya na ang sekretong matagal na nitong inililihim sa kanya? Will her love enough to forgive and give chance to a broken billionaire?

Lumaki si Celestine Navarro sa bahay na kailanman ay hindi naging tahanan. Sa ilalim ng pang-aapi ng kanyang madrasta na si Margarita at ng maldita niyang stepsister na si Veronica, natutunan niyang maging matatag, tahimik, pero palaban. Isang araw, bigla siyang pinapirma sa isang arranged marriage contract—isang kasal na hindi niya maintindihan. Wala siyang ideya kung sino ang lalaki sa papel, at tanging sinabi lang ng abogado ay: “Mas gusto niyang manatiling pribado. Pero simula ngayon, nasa ilalim ka ng kanyang proteksyon.” Ang lalaking iyon ay si Adrian Cruz—isang malamig, makapangyarihang Bilyonaryo at CEO sa isang malaking kumpanya na sanay makuha ang gusto niya. Sa harap ng mundo, isa siyang taong walang emosyon at walang kahinaan. Ngunit sa likod ng kanyang katahimikan, may lihim siyang dahilan: minsan niyang nasaksihan kung paanong hinamak si Celestine ng sarili nitong pamilya. At mula noon, hindi na siya mapalagay. Tahimik niyang inayos ang kasunduan ng kasal—isang paraan para masiguro na walang sinumang makakasakit kay Celestine muli. Habang patuloy siyang binabastos at minamaliit ng mga Navarro, patago namang nakamasid sa kanya ang lalaking handang ipaglaban siya… kahit hindi pa niya kilala. Hanggang isang gabi, nakatanggap siya ng mensahe mula sa hindi kilalang numero: “Hindi mo na kailangang harapin sila mag-isa.” —A.C. Hindi niya alam, ang lalaking iyon ay ang mismong asawa niyang hindi pa niya nakikita—ang lalaking tahimik pero mapanganib magmahal. At kapag dumating ang araw na mabunyag ang katotohanan, malalaman ng lahat… na ang babaeng minamaliit nila ay asawa ng pinakamakapangyarihang lalaki sa lungsod.
