Green Glass Hotel

I was the sole front desk clerk at a haunted hotel. Welcoming players, checking in on the bosses’ quarters, and slacking off a bit were all part of the job. At least, that was what I thought. It turned out my days were far from ordinary. A blood-drenched little girl in a tattered red dress kept ringing the service bell. Her eerie voice echoed, “Miss, why didn’t you come play with me?” A creepy black cat with glowing eyes wouldn’t stop meowing and rubbing against my legs. And then there was the old woman with claws like knives, cheerfully knitting me a sweater… out of players’ skin. One day, I took a day off to care for my sick mother. That was my biggest mistake. The entire game instance erupted in chaos. Bosses interrogated players, demanding to know where their precious front desk clerk had gone. “Did she abandon us? Is she never coming back?” I ran. They chased. But no matter how fast I fled, their grip on me only tightened. In the end, escape wasn’t an option.

Have you ever lived a life that looked perfect—but felt like nothing? Felt yourself slipping away every day… yet still couldn’t call that life your own? Well, Serena Beckett has. The perfect daughter. The perfect wife. Invisible in her own story. Born into a wealth she was never allowed to claim. Married into a life she didn’t choose, but ended up loving endlessly as she thought she could finally have a thing of her own. Until the night her husband walks in with a stranger… and divorce papers. That night, something breaks in her. And something far stronger takes its place. Serena doesn’t crumble. She doesn’t leave. Not until she decides who she really is—beyond the Beckett name, beyond the lies, beyond the mask she’s worn for far too long. Is she the girl her family tried to tame? The wife Eliot thought he could throw away? Or someone neither of them ever saw coming? And when Eliot finally sees her… Will it be too late?

Si Luna Salazar ay niloko, sinaktan, at inabanduna ng sariling asawa sa loob ng limang taon. Ngunit ang mas masakit, pati ang kanilang anak na si Kai ay nadamay. Hindi man lang ito napagbigyan na maramdaman ang pagmamahal ng ama kahit sa mga huling sandali ng kanyang buhay dahil mas pinili nitong pasayahin ang kanyang kabit. Sa pagkawala ng anak, labis ang hinagpis ni Luna na kahit hiniling ng anak na maging masaya siya ay hindi pa rin niya magawa hangga't nariyan ang mga taong sumira sa kanilang buhay. Naging bingi-bingihan siya, nagpakatanga sa pagmamahal sa lalaki hanggang sa inubos na siya nito. Nakatakda na silang dalawa na maghiwalay ng kanyang asawa, ngunit bago iyan, pinangako niya sa sarili na maghihiganti siya. Ipaparamdam niya sa dating asawa ang bagsik ng isang inang nawalan ng anak at ng asawang niloko kahit ibinigay niya na ang lahat. Sa kanyang paghahangad ng paghihiganti, magagampanan niya kaya ito hanggang sa huli kung ang dating asawa niya ay tila nagpaparamdam ng kakaibang pagbabago sa kanya? Kaya pa kaya niyang buksan ang pusong matagal nang nawasak?

I'm hospitalized after a car accident that nearly costs me my leg. Meanwhile, my fiancé is too busy in the room next door taking care of his first love. She's only faking a sprained ankle. From that same room, I hear Johan Rivera's mocking voice. "Raelyn? She's just a pawn the old man picked for a political marriage. She's not even good enough to be your stand-in." In that moment, something in me finally breaks. I watch the news coverage of a rising business star who's surrounded by reporters and flashing cameras. He's also my childhood friend who has pursued me for ten years. I calmly send him a message. "Christian, does your offer for a contract marriage still stand?"

I've been dating the country's most eligible bachelor for two years. My base salary is $2 million, with bonuses based on performance. Holding hands costs $10,000, putting an arm around his waist is $20,000, and a kiss on the lips is a bit pricier at $50,000. As for certain bedroom activities, well, those come with a whole different price tag. Brad is fair-skinned and handsome, appearing only once a month – he's practically a walking Tiffany's diamond. Life is so sweet, it's easy to get complacent if you're not careful. One night, a DM popped up on Instagram from a stranger. "If you trust me, check your boyfriend's phone." "?" "I'm his girlfriend." "Am I the third party or are you the third party?" "You're third, I'm fourth." "Let's meet and talk details."

After a falling out with my long-distance boyfriend, I decide to secretly fly home to patch things up with him. Unexpectedly, I catch him fooling around at home with his secretary. "Do you need to be so mad? I only got someone to act as your stand-in. Ultimately, you're still the one I love." I listen to his preposterous lies and hide my stomach cancer diagnosis behind my back. I say, "It's not a bad idea to gather more of these fakes. You won't be too upset when I'm dead." But after I die, he loses his mind when he looks at his secretary's face.

Pangarap ni Christian ang maisama ang kanyang pamilya sa lahat ng kanyang tagumpay sa buhay. Gayundin naman ang nais ni Arris na kahit pag-aasawa pa ang kahilingan ng mga ito. Lahat ng ito ay nakatatak sa puso't isipan nila nine months ago. Hanggang sa nagkatagpo ang kanilang landas dahil sa isang failed blind date! Sa kanyang sinapupunan ay may isang bata na ang hindi kumpirmado kung sino ang ama. Paano ito nangyari? Sino nga kaya ang tunay na ama?

Si Alexandra Jane Diaz ay isang book illustrator na simple at ordinaryong namumuhay araw-araw kasama ang aso niyang St. Bernard na ang pangalan ay Smarty. Nang isang araw ay sadyang pagkainteresan siya ng isang kapritsusong estranghero at basta na lang alukin ng kasal. Ang pangalan nito ay Daniel. Si Daniel St. Claire ay isang tahimik subalit magaling na negosyante. Isa siyang uri ng lalaki na maraming baliw na ideya at mas nanaising manahimik kaysa magsalita pero magaling magpatsutsada o mangulit. Mahal niya ang kababata niyang kaibigan na si Sarah. Si Sarah Geneva Kale ay isang magandang babae na nagmamay-ari ng isang makulay na flower shop. Hindi niya alam na ang batang lalaki na nagustuhan niya ng bata pa siya ay mahal pa rin siya hanggang ngayon hanggang sa napagpasiyahan nito na magpakasal sa isang babaeng hindi niya kilala kaysa sa kanya. Damay sa gulo't buhol ng pag-ibig at pagtatago ng mga puso, kailangan ni Alex na sumabay sa plano ni Daniel at magpakilalang pekeng fianceé nito hanggang makilala niya ang mahiwagang Sarah Kale. Makakatuluyan ba ni Daniel si Sarah at ang dalawa ang magpalitan ng "I do" sa altar? O makakatugma niya si Alex sa isang hindi inaasahang pagbabaliktad ng tadhana?

Matapos mag-graduate ng socialite training course, ang aking kapatid na babae ay nanumpa na magpakasal sa isang mayamang pamilya. Upang lumikha ng mga pagtatagpo kay Pierce Holden, ang prinsipe ng mga socialite, ang kapatid ko ang nagmaneho ng aking kotse, na gustong i-tailgate si Pierce at bumunggo sa sasakyan nito. Tinapakan ko ang preno at sinabi sa kapatid ko na hindi tanga ang mga Holden. Hindi namin kayang bayaran ang sasakyan ni Pierce, kahit na isuko namin ang lahat ng mayroon kami. Pagkatapos, nagkaroon si Pierce ng isang marangyang kasal na ikinagulat ng bansa. Nababaliw na ang kapatid ko sa selos, sinabing siya na sana ang bride kung hindi dahil sa pagpigil ko sa kanya noon. Dahil sa sama ng loob, binunggo niya ang kanyang sasakyan sa akin at pinatay ako. Nang muli kong imulat ang aking mga mata, nakita ko ang aking sarili sa front passenger seat. Kumpiyansa na ngumiti si ang kapatid ko, napako ang tingin niya sa mamahaling sasakyan sa harapan namin. "Sigurado akong mabibighani sa akin si Pierce kapag nakita niya ako. Hindi ko na kailangan magmaneho ng isang basura na ganito kapag nakasama ko na siya." Ngayon naman, hindi ko na siya pinigilan. Tinapakan niya ng madiin ang pedal ng gas, na naging sanhi ng pagbangga ng kotse laban sa sports car na may presyo na napakalaking halaga ng pera.

She’s pure, innocent and the sweetest thing in the world. He’s the devil incarnate, a mafia king with a heart so cold that it could freeze hell over. But when they meet there’s an instant spark of desire that draws them together like no other.
