Iko Lunar Chronicles

In a quest to secure a spot for her son in a preschool, Emma Walker started going on blind dates. Little did she know that a mysterious man by the name of Landon Stirling would whisk her away to tie the knot on their first meeting.Their married life turned Emma's world upside down. Her son gained admission to the most prestigious private preschool in the city. Surprisingly, the troublesome relatives, who once looked at her like prey, suddenly became docile and respectful. Even at work, every issue seemed to resolve effortlessly and the stigma of being an unwed mother faded away.Emma, watching her nominal husband effortlessly manipulate things in his favor, stuttered in fear, "W-Who are you really?"With a mischievous grin, he replied, "My wife, are you really asking me that now? Isn't that a bit late?"Her heart raced as she questioned, "Is there anything else I don't know?"The man chuckled, "I know our son is my biological child. Does that count?"Emma was floored by his response.

Ako si Martin Del Rivas. Ang mga tao sa labas ay nakikita ako bilang perpektong senador, ang presidente sa hinaharap, ang bachelor na kinakikiligan ng bansa. Ang mga ngiti nila, ang pagpupuri sa akin… lahat ay pekeng salamin. Sa loob, ako ay umiiyak sa dilim na hindi nila nakikita, umiiyak sa pagkawala na hindi nila mauunawaan. Hindi nila alam na may isang pintuan sa mansion ko na hindi dapat buksan. At may isang babae akong sinasambit sa bawat gabi,na hindi lamang alaala ng trahedya, kundi dahilan ng lahat ng aking galit. Si Savanna ang naging pugad ng aking pagkawasak, ang sentro ng bawat galit , bawat obsesyon na hindi ko matakasan. Hindi ko siya kinuha dahil gusto ko. Kinuha ko siya dahil kailangan kong itama ang mundo na pinabayaan niya at sa bawat araw na siya ay nakadapa sa harap ko, bawat luha na hindi niya dapat ipapakita, lalo akong nagiging alipin ng sarili kong galit. Akala niya libreng buhay ang kanyang makakamtan sa mansion ko. Akala niya kalayaan ang makikita niya sa bawat galaw ko. Pero mali siya. Ako ang may hawak, hindi lang ng katawan niya, kundi pati ng kanyang hininga, ng bawat takot at galit na sinusupil niya sa loob. At kahit nararamdaman ko ang pagbabago sa puso ko, kahit ang galit ay nagiging pangungulila, alam kong hindi ko siya kayang bitawan. Hindi ko siya kayang talikuran. Siya ang dahilan ng aking pagkawasak, at siya rin ang dahilan ng aking pagbangon. At sa bawat gabing ako ay mag isa, habang iniisip ang mga nagdaang trahedya, naiintindihan ko na ang laban na ito, ang pagmamahal at poot, ang obsesyon at pagkawasak ay hindi matatapos. Hindi kailanman. Sapagkat sa kanya ko naramdaman ang ganap na kontrol, at sa kanya ko rin naramdaman ang ganap na kawalan ng kapangyarihan.

TRIGGER WARNING This contains consensual BDSM dynamics, explicit adult scenes, and detailed references to intimate acts and toys. Intended for mature audiences. Reader discretion is advised. I'm Bianca Reyes, 22 yrs.old, full of dreams and innocence, virgin, walang karanasan sa mundo ng desire. Excited akong mag-apply sa Sovereign Seduction, ang company ni Renzo Valderama, pantasya ng lahat. Dala ko ang aking sketches, designs na puno ng Filipino touch, pero hindi ko inexpect na ang unang hakbang ko sa Valderama Towers ay magiging gateway sa isang obsessive nightmare at thrill. Pagpasok ko sa room, nakaharap ko siya..si Renzo, matangkad, dominant, eyes almost chasing my soul. "Strip," utos niya, bago ko ma-realize, naka-cuff na ako sa couch, kamay niya sa zipper ko, hawak ang sex toy na nagpapakaba sa akin. Halos magpumiglas ako, yung init ng tingin niya, yung hininga niya sa leeg ko, awakening something dark inside me. Wrong room, wrong time, pero bakit parang right ito? Humiliated, I walked out, yet his offer... eighty thousand... Enough for therapy ni Mommy Edith, tuition ni Diane, kaya nagpasakop ako. "My terms," sabi niya, at nagsimula ang erotic journey. Sa fittings, hinahawakan niya ako, introducing toys na nagpapaexcite sa buong katawan ko, edible sprays na dinidilaan niya mula sa dibdib ko pababa, BDSM ropes na nagbibigkis sa amin sa obsessive pleasure. From innocent sketches to designs full of fire, harnesses, sheer lingeries hit famous worldwide. Pero challenges come: Si Valeria, jealous bitch, sabotaging me; si Anthony, trying to steal me; family struggles na nakakadurog ng puso. Yet, with Renzo, our sex is thrilling, adventurous jets, obsessions, devouring each other hanggang umiyak ako sa ecstasy. He falls for me, possessive, but I evolve into fierce, dominant, owning him. Now, I'm the Queen of Seduction.But what if our love becomes our ultimate test?

I should’ve known better than to fall for Drake Peterson— my boss, my secret, my addiction, and the only man who could ruin me with a whisper. For two forbidden years, I lived a life no one knew about. By day, I was his perfect secretary. By night, I was the woman he kept hidden in his arms, tangled in his sheets, and locked behind a contract that said I would never expect more. I lied. To him. To myself. To the shattered girl staring back at me every morning. Because I did fall for him—hopelessly, stupidly, completely. And then he destroyed me. With one cold conversation, he terminated our arrangement, handed me a monstrous payout, and told me to walk away like I meant nothing. No explanation. No softness. Just an order: “This is the end, Sabrina.” So I erased him. Deleted my social media. Vanished from New York. And used the money he gave me to build something new— Mendoza Luxe, the jewelry empire that turned me into the woman he never thought I could become. I told myself I was over him. Until the day I ran into an old coworker… and learned the truth I was never meant to hear: Drake is bankrupt. He never married his fiancée. And everything he threw away—including me— he did to protect my life. Now the man who once owned every breath I took is falling from the top… and fate is dragging us back into the same fire that burned us alive. Old desire doesn’t fade. Old wounds don’t heal. Old enemies don’t forget. I survived Drake Peterson once. The question is— can we survive the truth that tore us apart?

My daughter unplugs my oxygen tube before throwing herself into her nanny's arms. "The old hag is finally dying, Mom. I don't need to call a thief my mother anymore!" It turns out the nanny switched my child for hers when they were born. I've spent the last two decades doting on the nanny's daughter. I die of an aneurysm after recalling my birth daughter's horrible death. When I open my eyes again, I'm taken back to the day my daughter was born.

My first reaction when I encountered the landslide was not to run, but to immediately call Ethan. After all, Ethan always nagged at me, and I can almost hear him saying, "You can't do anything right; I always have to come to help." The phone rang for ages before it finally connected, and by then, the landslide had knocked me to the ground. "Yes? What is with you? Calling eight hundred times a day… Don't you ever get tired of it? I told you I'm working; I don't have time. "Hello? If you're not going to say anything, I'm hanging up. I've got other things to do." Beep, beep! Before I could say a word, Ethan impatiently scolded me. Typical. That had been Ethan Lang's attitude five years into our marriage. He might not have to put up with me anymore after this, though, because I might never see him again......

Imagine you are given two choices. Choice #1 gives you a stable life with little to no uncertainties. You can have a comfortable existence but you may never experience the thrill of falling in love or the satisfaction of taking that leap into the unknown. Choice #2 gives you all the thrills and all the satisfaction but you also have the possibility of heartbreak and failures along the way. Which would you choose? For Aurora Butler, this is the exact crossroads she has come to as she starts her Senior Year at a new school. Her head is telling her one thing but after meeting Owen Marshall, her heart is telling her something entirely different. Choices are made even more difficult as responsibilities take a toll on her and she realizes some choices requires sacrifices she just isn't able to make. Just when she thinks she has it all figured out, bodies of young women who look eerily similar to her start showing up as the town realizes there is a serial killer walking among them, one who has particular tastes when it comes to his next victim. Will Aurora's instincts lead to the right choices or will her choices have deadly consequences? Can she survive to have it all or will she lose everything in the end?

Isang nurse. Isang imperyo. Isang kasal na pinirmahan sa dugo. Hindi kailanman hinangad ni Stefanie Rivera ang kapangyarihan—pero isang malupit na kasunduan ang nagtulak sa kanya bilang tagapagmana ng pinakamalaking airline empire sa Asya… at mortal na kaaway ng sinumang nais maagaw ito. Si Adrian Zubiri—malamig, matalino, at sugatan ng nakaraan—siya dapat sana ang tunay na tagapagmana. Pero ngayon, napilitan siyang pakasalan ang babaeng pinaka-kinamumuhian niya para mabawi ang lahat. Ang plano niya? Wasakin siya. Ipahiya siya. Durugin siya. Ngunit hindi marunong yumuko si Stefanie. Lumalaban siya—at ang apoy niya’y lalo lang nagiging tukso kay Adrian. Mula sa kasunduang puno ng galit, sumiklab ang isang mapanganib na laro ng pagnanasa. At sa gitna ng mga kaaway, iskandalo, at nag-aalab na damdamin, pipili si Adrian: protektahan ang imperyo… o ang babaeng kailanman ay hindi dapat naging kanya. Sa mundong ang kapangyarihan, ang pera at ang pag-ibig ay kahinaan— Mas ligtas ang galit. Pero bakit siya nauuhaw sa babaeng puwedeng tuluyang sumira sa kanya? "She was supposed to be his punishment. He was supposed to be her enemy. But in a war between hate and love—only the heart can decide who wins"

Akala ko mababaon ko na sa limot ang nakaraan. Eighteen years ago, I walked away from the man I loved, clutching the tiny life growing inside me, shattering my own heart to protect my child. Binuo ko ang mundo ko mula sa simula, pinalaki si Gian nang may lakas at pagmamahal, at hinubog ang reputasyon ko bilang Queen Verdict, hindi matatalo at matatag sa korte. Para sa akin, ang Maynila, ang lungsod ng pagkakanulo, ay mundo na isinara ko na magpakailanman. But life has a way of dragging you back into the fire. Nang mapilitan akong humarap sa imperyo ng Aragon sa korte, I’m not prepared for the ghosts of my past especially Nathan, now standing across the courtroom from me, representing the family that once tore us apart. Ang tensyon ay matindi, personal, at imposibleng balewalain. At si Laura, na parang anino ng dilim, na may bulong ng tukso at kaguluhan, nagpapakita kay Nathan ng dahilan para makalimot sa akin. I thought I could protect Gian from Nathan’s world, from their tangled history, but fate has other plans. Nang dumating ang panganib, napagtanto kong ang pag-ibig, katapatan, at tiwala ay laban sa sarili rin. Ang obsesyon ni Nathan, ang walang tigil niyang pagsunod, ang matinding proteksyon niya ay nakakaakit, nakakatakot, at nakalilito lahat ng sabay. I have a choice: let him back into our lives or keep the walls I’ve built, shielding my son from heartbreak again. Ngunit sa larong ito ng kapangyarihan, paghihiganti, at pagnanasa, natutunan ko ang isang bagay: a Queen rises, scars and all, to claim her throne. At gagawin ko ang lahat para protektahan ang pamilya ko, kahit harapin ang lalaking minahal ko noon ,kahit pa harapin ang aking mga kahihinatnan and the consequences I never imagined.

I never believed in second chances. Not after Cynthia. She was my confidant… until death tore her from me and left this mansion echoing with ghosts. Inilibing ko na rin ang puso ko kasabay ng pakamatay ni Cynthia . She was my wife. My peace. My mistake. Then her daughter moved in. Liza. The forbidden reminder of everything I shouldn’t want—young, alive, reckless in ways her mother never was. She looks at me like she sees through the monster I’ve become. Sa tuwing ngingiti siya,  the ache in my chest returns—violent, dangerous, hungry. Every brush of her skin ignites something I can’t bury anymore. I tell myself it’s guilt. I tell myself I’m just protecting her. Pero ang totoo? I want her. Hindi bilang stepdaughter. Not as Cynthia’s child. I want her as mine—completely, ruinously, irredeemably mine. They’ll call me a sinner. A man who crossed the line. Ngunit sa tuwing tinitingnan ako ni Liza, trembling, wanting... I knew I’d already crossed it. I tell myself I’m protecting her, but each night, the lie weakens. Because when she looks at me, it isn’t fear I see—it’s want. And God help me... I want her too. This isn’t love. It’s a beautiful disaster. And I’d burn the world just to feel her breathe my name again.
