Hidden Ruins: Chapter 3

Isang gabi ng pagkakamali ang bumago sa tadhana ni Lana Serrano. Matapos ang isang mapusok na one-night stand kasama ang ruthless CEO na si Eros Knight, akala ni Lana ay iyon na ang huli nilang pagkikita. Ngunit isang positive pregnancy test ang nagdulot sa kanya ng matinding takot. Nang marinig niya ang mga sinabi ni Eros na kailanman ay hindi ito magkakagusto sa isang “low-class woman” at lalong hindi nito kailangan ng tagapagmana, pinili ni Lana na lumayo. Bitbit ang kanyang sikreto, tumakas siya patungong ibang bansa at mag-isang pinalaki ang kanyang mga anak. Pagkalipas ng limang taon, nagbalik si Lana—hindi na bilang isang mahinhin at mahirap na babae, kundi bilang isang world-class structural engineer. May iisang mission siya na tapusin ang huling project ng kanyang career at tuluyang kalimutan ang lalaking minsang sumira sa kanya. Ngunit hindi niya inaasahan ang takbo ng tadhana. Sa unang araw ng kanyang pagbabalik, muli silang nagtagpo ni Eros Knight. Mas lalong naging mapanganib at mapang-angkin si Eros, lalo na nang makita nito ang tatlong batang lalaki na halos carbon copy ng kanyang mukha. "The triplets are mine, Lana. And as for you... you’re not escaping this time." Handa na si Eros na habulin siya. Ngunit handa na rin si Lana na ipatikim sa kanya ang tamis ng paghihiganti. Sino ang unang susuko? Ang bilyonaryong sanay makuha ang lahat… o ang ina na gagawin ang lahat para protektahan ang kanyang mga anak?

Mia James needs a lifeline—fast. Accused of stealing company funds, she’s on the brink of losing her job when billionaire Adrian Knight offers her an unexpected way out: a contract marriage. Marrying him will clear her reputation, and for Adrian, it means silencing rumors, handling the press on his terms and fulfilling his grandfather's last wishes. It’s strictly business... or so they both say. Their plan seems simple enough: smile for the cameras, keep the story airtight, and definitely don’t fall for each other. But when Mia’s furious ex crashes their first press conference, she's forced to get closer to Adrian than she'd ever imagined. Suddenly, staged kisses feel dangerously real, and “pretending” becomes harder with every look they share. Now, Mia’s balancing a fake marriage, a very real connection with Adrian, and the risk of her entire world unraveling. With secrets on both sides and her heart on the line, can she keep her cool—or will they both get swept up in the game they started? In this rollercoaster of passion, scandal, and deception, Mia and Adrian are about to learn that in love and life, nothing ever goes exactly as planned.

I was born a male Omega, but raised as a Beta. I had no scent, no voice, and no freedom. My uncle had killed my parents to seize their company, and I was spared only to serve as a puppet heir. But when my suppressed heat broke through during a public gala, the ruthless Alpha Prince of the North caught my scent. And he didn’t just recognize it. He claimed me. Now, with the kingdom watching, he won’t let me go. But if he learns who I really am… He might protect me—or finish what my uncle started.

When I drink the amber-colored poisonous wine, I can hear the joyful melody of a toast song coming from the manor. The wedding between Emanuela Romano and my ex-fiance, Benedetto Martini, is being held there right now. The elderly butler, Vincenzo Romano, puts away the wine glass with a blank expression. The way he speaks is as somber as one sounds when they give a speech at a funeral. "You know the Don's will very well, Ms. Andreotti. Five years are officially up, yet neither Mr. Andreotti, Mr. Martini, nor Dr. Foscari is willing to pledge their loyalty to you via the blood vow. According to the rules, you must take your own life within seven days. "The Don had left the Ashwine to you as a means of protecting… what little pride you have." Scorching pain begins spreading from my throat. I just smile at Vincenzo in return. Pride? Does a bastard spawn of a loose Iernian woman deserve to retain pride of any sort in the cruel Andreotti family? I begin making my way toward the banquet hall, which is brightly lit. As I walk past the shimmering waters of the pond in the family garden, I can tell that the waters are insanely cold. Then again, nothing is as cold as my icy heart right now. After taking a deep breath, I fall face-first into the pond… only to feel an iron-clad grip wrenching me backward. As such, I collapse onto the lawn heavily. My older brother, Alessandro Andreotti, has bits of grass covering his expensive suit. Disgust is written all over his handsome face. "Eva!" he grits out through his teeth, his voice lowered. "Must you spoil the mood on Emanuela's big day?" He then scoots closer to me, his alcohol-tinged breath fanning over my face. "You want to die, huh? Go ahead and do that, but can you die somewhere further? Don't stain the Andreotti land!" Alessandro turns to walk in the direction of the radiant lights, leaving me on the lawn, completely covered in mud. I can feel the countdown of my lifespan burning my insides. Seven days… I only have seven days to live. Meanwhile, my very own brother wants me to die somewhere further away.

“The most important clause in our marriage contract is that we are not to have children,” my husband stared at me closely, fire burning in his eyes. “This is supposed to be a five-year contract, five year and that’s it,” he continued, “I thought we agreed on that. No children to tie us down, then we part ways.” “I know that, and I completely agree!” Then he took every single condom out of the nightstand. He inspected them carefully, tossing each one aggressively on the bed as he did so. They were all the same. Full of tiny holes. “Then how do you explain that?” he snarled, his voice dripping with accusation.
