If He Had Been With Me Book 2

“I, Neolani Griffin accept you as my mate,” I beamed, waiting for him excitedly to accept me too. There was a long pause. “Who gave you the right to call me by my name?” He snapped, anger dripping from every word he spoke.“Answer me” He barked, eyes locked on mine. “How do you know my name? It must have been the maidservants right?, I'll have them stripped off their post” He stepped away from me. “I, Ragnar Gray, reject you Noelani Griffin as my mate” Neolani never asked to be a rogue. Once an Alpha, once a daughter, her world was in shambles the night her family was murdered and her pack taken hostage by her half-uncle. Now, she’s nothing but a rogue, fighting to survive where wolves like her are despised. On the run for survival she unkowingly crosses the borders of Alpha Ragnar pack who is known for his cruelty, powerful, merciless, and loyalty to a pack that sees rogues as the enemy. Alpha Ragnar prepares to end her without a second thought, but then he feels it. The bond, she’s his mate. The one thing he swore he would never want. Worse, his heart already belongs to someone else: his beautiful childhood friend who was mated to his beta, Kendrick. He rejected the bond the moment it burned through him. But desire doesn’t wait for permission. With every stolen glance, and every reckless touch, the line between hatred begins to blur. Together, they could ignite a powerful love that is if pride and betrayal don’t destroy them first.

The day before the World Piano Masters Competition, I was kidnapped, and my tendons were deliberately severed. Endorsements were swiftly terminated. Advertisers, once eager to work with me, turned instead to my rival. Crushed under the weight of betrayal and despair, I spiraled into a deep depression. Just when I was at my lowest, Carl Manos appeared. He not only paid off all my breach-of-contract penalties but also sought out top specialists to treat my damaged hand. Later, he knelt on one knee and solemnly proposed. I saw him as my salvation, the light that pierced through my darkness. Without hesitation, I let Carl slip the ring onto my finger. Two years later, my hand had fully recovered. I rushed to the study, eager to share the good news, only to overhear a chilling conversation. "Carl, if you hadn't arranged for someone to sever Reily's tendons, my sister never would've had the chance to win the competition and land those endorsements. I'll never forget what you did for us." There was a pause. Then came Carl's indifferent reply, "I simply helped Lucy achieve her dream. Breaking a woman's tendons in exchange for that is nothing." So this was the truth. The marriage I took such pride in… was nothing but a cold, calculated nightmare. Since that was the case, there was nothing left for me here. It was time to leave.

“Hello Betty, you look beautiful! Are you interested in a date with me?” “Off course handsome, just give me the address and I will be there” The first time David Scott met Betty Gravy, he almost ran her over and he wanted to pay her but she threw the cash on his face. The second time she turned out to be his blind date, she couldn’t resist his advances and she ended up kissing him. As if it wasn’t enough, the third time she became his unexpected wife who he had vowed to punish for humiliating him. The only thing he wanted from her is for Betty to divorce him and on the other hand she only wanted David to love her.

"If you are going to enter my world, be ready to play my game," Mago warned, his eyes gleaming with danger, "If you can't keep up, then you'll have to endure the pain." MAGO CONCEPCION—ruthless, seductive, and incapable of love. He believed emotions were a weakness, and I, ARLENE MEJORADA, believed I could change him. I was the woman who thought I could heal him with my love, drawn in by his dangerous allure that I couldn't resist. I was a willing victim, drawn into his world of power and temptation. I convinced myself that I could handle the pain, that I could survive his cruel, calculating ways. But love doesn't always conquer all. Yet, my determination was unwavering. Soon, I found myself breaking. Piece by piece, he tore through my heart, leaving me shattered and empty, a shadow of the woman I once was. I wanted to save him, but in the end, I was the one who needed saving. This is my story—of how I gave him everything until nothing was left of me. Now I face the choice: do I pick up the pieces and walk away, or keep letting him destroy what’s left of me? My name is ARLENE MEJORADA, and I was willing to endure anything for love. Until I wasn’t.

My boyfriend, Zayne Jefferson, is particularly gifted in certain ways. Every time we're intimate, he insists on trying something new. More than once, he gently coaxes me, saying, "Once you graduate, we'll get married." And I believe him. I throw myself into my studies, pushing hard to finish my credits early. At the same time, I secretly watch all kinds of videos at night and read up on techniques. I want to keep his body satisfied. One night, I stay up too late studying and miss curfew. I run to the bar to find him, where I overhear him chatting with his friends. "Zayne, is your girlfriend really that wild in bed?" one guy asks. "Of course. He trained her himself!" another guy says. "What about Yasmin?" Zayne exhales a stream of smoke, his eyes soft. "She's different. She's pure." In that moment, I begin to hate him. Back on campus, I make a call to my professor. "That secret program you mentioned… I want in." From this day on, my life belongs only to my career.

[WARNING: SPG] Gwapo, playboy at malakas ang appeal. Iilan lang iyan sa mga katangian ng bilyonaryong si Kian Fuentavilla kaya napakaraming babaeng nagkakadarapa sa kanya—maliban kay Jhymea Madrigal. Isang dalagang manang kung manamit at madalas pang napagkakamalang lola at mambabarang. Panget si Jhymea, at aminado naman siya roon, pero para sa kanya ay may karapatan pa rin naman siyang mamili kaya inayawan niya si Kian na kahit mala-Adonis na ang datingan ay ubod naman ng yabang. Unang pagkikita pa lang ng dalawa ay nagkairingan na sila. Labis na dinibdib ni Jhymea na tinawag siyang ‘janitress’ at ‘ipis’ ng binata at ganun din si Kian sa kanya nang mapunit ang pwètan ng slacks nito dahil sa dalaga. Halos isumpa nila ang isa't isa hanggang napagdesisyunan ng kapatid ni Kian na si Nexie Fuentavilla na mag one-night stand silang dalawa. Kapalit nun ay ang impormasyong hinihingi ni Kian tungkol sa ex niyang si Tanya, at pera naman para kay Jhymea para mapauwi na niya sa bansa ang ina niyang OFW na kay tagal niyang ‘di nakasama. Dahil sa pagiging maloko ni Kian ay pinalabas niyang nabutas ang còndom na ginamit niya sa pakikipagtalik sa dalaga. Ilang linggo iyong iniyakan ni Jhymea kasi ang buong akala niya ay hindi na siya makaka-graduate, ngunit nahuli niya ang binata nung minsan ay may kausap ito sa telepono at inamin nito ang lahat. Doon ay naisip na gumanti ni Jhymea at pinalabas na totoong nabuntis nga siya ng binata. Nakarating ang tsismis na yun sa ina ni Kian na si Mrs. Anita Fuentavilla. Nagkukumahog na nagpaliwanag ang dalawa na hindi totoo ang lahat pero huli na kasi nagawan na sila ng kontrata ng ginang sa nalalapit nilang kasal. Matakasan kaya nila ang kapalarang nagsimula sa isang laro lamang? O mauuwi na ang lahat sa totoong pag-iibigan?

Their story is one of survival, resilience, and a love that endures even when tested by unimaginable pain. Scorned Wife is a sweeping romantic drama filled with family intrigue, emotional intensity, and powerful themes of motherhood, betrayal, and redemption.
