Hirap O Sarap Scandal

When 22-year-old Aria, an art student struggling to keep her life afloat, signs a surrogacy contract for the powerful and notoriously private billionaire Luca De Rossi, she expects a simple transaction not a story that will change everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and herself. But what begins as an arrangement soon blurs into something deeper. Luca isn’t the cold man the headlines describe; behind his control and empire lies a heart scarred by loss and trust built on careful walls. And Aria…gentle, stubborn, disarmingly honest starts breaking those walls without meaning to. When a single photograph exposes their secret to the world, the contract becomes a scandal, and Aria becomes the headline: The Mistress, the Billionaire, and the Baby. With the media frenzy threatening everything Luca built and Aria’s pregnancy advancing under relentless pressure, both must decide whether to hide behind duty or fight for a love neither expected. As betrayals surface in the boardroom and Luca’s empire trembles under corporate fire, Aria finds herself caught between the life she left behind and the dangerous world she’s come to belong to. Every choice she makes echoes louder for her child, for her heart, and for the man who swore to protect both. Set against the breathtaking Italian Riviera, this is a story of forbidden love, fierce loyalty, and the courage to stand tall when the world wants you to fall. A romance that begins with a contract… and ends with a fight for forever.

Elara Vane was the perfect Luna—devoted, obedient, and loyal to her mate and pack. On the night of her third wedding anniversary, that illusion shatters when anonymous photos expose her mate, Jax Vane, in bed with her own sister. Betrayed and broken, Elara’s world collapses in a single breath. When she hits rock bottom, it is not her cheating mate who comes to her rescue—but the one man she was raised to fear. Silas Vane.

One night of forbidden passion binds them together, crossing a line that can never be erased. But Elara soon discovers the truth—Silas didn’t just save her from ruin. He engineered it. As Elara divorces Jax and the pack descends into scandal, Silas reclaims the Alpha throne, publicly claiming Elara as his chosen consort. Their union ignites outrage, jealousy, and bloodshed.
