Is Shadow Good Or Bad

In the Shadow of Power 💼 Romance / Corporate Drama / Mature (18+) Ayaw naman talaga ni Cassandra Vale na maging CEO ng Vale Industries—pero nung biglaang nawala ang kanyang ama, wala siyang choice kundi akuin ang responsibilidad. Bata pa siya, matalino, pero baguhan sa mundo ng business empires. At ngayon, kailangan niyang harapin ang board na duda sa kanya, ang media na laging may masasabi, at ang mga kalabang handang agawin ang trono niya. Doon bumalik si Damien Kade. Ang lalaking tinawag ng lahat na traydor. Dating top executive ng kalabang kumpanya, sinisisi siya sa halos ikalugmok ng negosyo ng pamilya ni Cassandra. Tahimik, mapanganib, at may karismang mahirap tanggihan—siya ang huling taong dapat pagkatiwalaan ni Cassandra. Pero sa desperasyon niyang maisalba ang Vale Industries, pinili niyang ibalik si Damien. Lihim, laban sa kagustuhan ng board at ng buong mundo. Habang magkasama silang lumalaban sa corporate wars—sa mga lihim na kasunduan, mga banta ng takeover, at mga panganib na di nakikita—unti-unting humihigpit ang tensyon sa pagitan nila. Ang inakala niyang laro ng kapangyarihan at survival, naging apoy na mahirap nang patayin. At habang lumalalim ang nararamdaman nila para sa isa’t isa, mas lalo silang napapalapit sa bangin ng pagkawasak. Pero sa mundo kung saan nabibili ang loyalty at ang pagtataksil ay parang business deal lang—paano malalaman ni Cassandra kung alin si Damien: ang taong magliligtas sa imperyo niya... o ang magpapabagsak nito?

Lydia McKenzie used to be just like any other normal, seventeen year high school girl, fretting over what to wear for school, struggling to get good grades and dealing with boy trouble, until one day, a dangerous incident at school and a severe brain injury, made her turn off her emotions completely. Three years later, she’s a complete robot who works with utmost efficiency without showing any emotions. But things start to change when she arrives at Rosewater University for higher studies. David Lyric Donovan is the quintessential bad boy of Rosewater. Be it getting into useless fights, getting arrested for beating someone to an inch of their life or any other crimes around campus, and not to mention going through girls like a person goes through their clothes, he’s done it all. He’s also a professional street fighter. Girls want to ‘fix’ him and guys want to be him. But nothing bothers him as much as the presence of the new girl, Lydia. She’s upfront and outspoken and she does not have the patience to deal with his , and moreover, she gets under his skin without even a slight change in her expression. Who is she and what’s in her past? He’s just as fascinated with her as he is annoyed. Can romance bloom between such a mismatched pair? And will Lydia ever let herself feel again, after what she’d endured?

I'm an heiress who's been bound to a gossip system. Everyone reads my mind on my first day back home after being reunited with my family. "Mom sure has done a good job of maintaining her beauty. It's no wonder she became an OnlyFans streamer after divorcing Dad." My mother is about to berate me for something, but she pales and stops when she hears my thoughts. I glance at the fake heiress, who's weeping pitifully. "My, she's pregnant. Is it John's or Zach's?" My two brothers exchange odd looks. Then, my father arrives. I cluck my tongue. "Oh, it's Dad's."

Cocky, arrogant, and dropped dead gorgeous: That described my boss, Mr. Craft, to a T. His thick hair, cold blue eyes and strong jaw held power in a conference meeting, causing women to melt in his presence. I’ve wanted to confront him on his stubborn attitude and critical demands for employees. I’d bitten my tongue in many scenarios and held in my true feelings over a dozen times. Keeping the peace was necessary until I had enough experience under my belt to move onto bigger and better things. The only problem was; Craft Marketing was the bigger and better, and the longer I stuck it out with him, meant more opportunities would arise. I’d been the only female intern to land a job directly under him, and was also the only one who hadn’t slept with him. I knew he was promiscuous with the tall and leggy blondes that breezed into his office looking immaculate, then scurried back out with mussed hair, flushed cheeks, and unbuttoned blouses. I'd ignore the magnetic pull of chemistry and curiosity between us. Unless it came to my advantage.

"พี่ธาม..." "...พี่ไม่ได้ทำแบบนั้นกับวาใช่ไหม พี่ไม่ได้หลอกวาใช่ไหม มันไม่ใช่เรื่องจริงใช่ไหมคะ" เจ้าของใบหน้าใสยังคงถามคนตรงหน้าออกไปน้ำตาคลอ "อืม ฉันเข้าหาเธอ...ก็เพื่อสิ่งนั้นเท่านั้น" ทันทีที่ริมฝีปากหนาตอบความจริงกลับมาด้วยน้ำเสียงเรียบนิ่งเฉยชาก็ทำเอารุ่นน้องสาวร้องไห้ออกมาราวกับว่าทุกอย่างนั้นได้พังทลายลง "ฮึก พะ...พี่..."

A mysterious plague swept through the packs, wiping out every last she-wolf. To continue their bloodline, these ancient predators turned to the human world, bringing with them centuries of wealth and power. They struck a pact, sealed in blood, with the most powerful human families: every summer solstice, the finest daughter would be chosen as a "Breeding mother," destined to mate with a wolf. And the one Breeding mother who could birth a female hybrid would be crowned, becoming the Queen of both the wolf and human worlds. In my last life, my sister Selena, the family favorite. She chose the Alpha of the warmest, richest territory. And me? I was the family’s sacrificial lamb, thrown to Colton, the most brutal Alpha of the Frozen Wastes. But who could have guessed my sister’s life of warmth and riches was all a lie? Her Alpha treated her like a disposable toy. She froze to death in a damp cellar, forced to listen to the fireworks that celebrated my coronation. Yes, I successfully gave birth to a girl. But those brilliant fireworks were also my funeral pyre. I died on that cold throne. Now, I’m alive again. We’re back on the day of the choosing. “I choose Alpha Colton of the Frozen Wastes!” The voice belonged to my sister, Selena. I slowly opened my eyes. Seeing the undisguised triumph and cold calculation in her eyes, I knew. She was reborn, too. But she didn't know，this time, she would be the one to fall into the very hell I just clawed my way out of.
