It Is Not Good That Man Be Alone

On the day of our wedding, Henry Zander, my fiance, gets his legs broken in a car crash in his attempt of playing the knight in shining armor who intends to rescue the damsel in distress. So, I terminate our wedding on the spot. Both families surround me, trying to convince me to prioritize the bigger picture. My future mother-in-law cries her heart out as she takes my hand. "Winona, Henry got crippled because of his acts of heroism! He's the real hero here! If you head over to the hospital and take good care of him from now on, we'll still be a family!" My mom hugs me as well, her voice lowered. "You're still pregnant with the Zanders' heir, Winona. Do you have the heart to deliver your baby to this world without a father in their life? Hurry up and apologize to the Zanders so that this incident can be water under the bridge!" My dad acts more impulsively by slapping me on the spot and calling me an insensitive bastard who humiliates the family. Regardless, I walk over to the emcee calmly and pick up the microphone. "I'll give the 880-thousand-dollar wedding gifts meant for Henry and me to the driver involved in this car accident."

Hindi matatawaran ang saya na aking nararamdaman ng sabihin niyang gusto niya akong maging girlfriend. Gustong-gusto ko siyang yakapin, pero umiiwas siya. Lahat ginawa ko para maging masaya siya sa akin pero kulang pa rin, dahil niloloko niya lang ako. Para sa kanya ang isang pangit na katulad ko ay walang karapatan sa kanyang pagmamahal -CHARLOTTE Hindi ako makapaniwala ng makita siyang muli. Ibang-iba na siya sa dati gusto ko siyang yakapin at sabihin na miss ko siya pero hindi ko magawa dahil hindi na ako ang lalaking mahal niya- ISAIAH

Bound by vengeance and hatred, can I ever escape the cage he built around me?

Chase Grimm's aide-de-camp sent me a screenshot of an Instagram Live status. Guess who it came from. His new secretary. She was showing off a meticulously prepared lunch from a lunchbox. My handiwork, no less. I made it for him. The caption read: [He's a dark, cold CEO… and a shiny knight who saved a hungry princess with a gastric problem from eating mac 'n' cheese again!] Chase almost never posted on Instagram. Yet there he was, sharing a photo of a cup of ridiculously spicy mac 'n' cheese, captioned: [I have missed this.] The nerve of this prick. Then my mother-in-law sent an entirely unsolicited text: [What the heck were you doing?! You're supposed to make him a proper lunch! He can't stand spicy food!] After all that, I decided to call a supermarket. "Hi! I'd like to order 100 cups of instant super-spicy mac 'n' cheese and have them delivered to Grimm Co. Please and thank you." "Ain't I generous?"

My mother and sister never liked me. The only son they ever truly cared about was my older brother, Lucian Vieri. Before she married me, Serafina Valcieri, the only daughter of one of the most feared syndicates in the country, was always the one who stepped in when I was cornered, mocked, or blamed for things that were never mine to carry. She never said much. She just made people back off. Then she married me. Then, not long ago, Lucian shoved me off a ski slope. I said he meant to kill me. My mother called it an accident. My sister said he had only been trying to save me. Only Serafina believed me. When I woke up in the hospital, I heard voices outside the door. “Who told you to do it like that?” Serafina said, her voice low and cold. My mother answered in a panic. “Lucian’s leukemia can’t wait. If Cassian learns the baby isn’t his, everything falls apart.” Then Serafina said the words I still can’t forget. “I chose him, and I married him for my own reasons. But Lucian still needs this child. If anything had happened to Cassian, none of you would have walked away from it.” I stood there in silence, listening to every word. The child my wife was carrying was never mine. It had been conceived through IVF to save my brother. And the marriage I had trusted from the beginning had never belonged to me alone. I had spent my whole life coming second to Lucian. I just never thought Serafina would be the one to prove it. If no one truly wanted me, then I would leave.

"If kidnapping her is the only way to make her mine, then I'll do it without hesitation," Kiego remarked. **** Kiego Alcazer was a man every woman could wish for; a multi-billionaire who initiated a desperate plan to kidnap the woman she loved on the very day of her wedding in order to get her back. But an unexpected turn of events happened because Kiego's men had kidnapped the wrong bride! She's Brevorah, who belongs to a well-known aristocratic family, an obedient daughter to her father, who set her up for an arranged marriage. A forced bride, about to marry a man she isn't in love with. Two different individuals, each having their own struggles in life, accidentally bump into each other. Will Kiego be the person who can bring Brevorah some courage to finally fight and stand for what she really wants in life without her father's shadow? How about Kiego? He aimed to ruin Brevorah's life due to his great anger towards her, because for him, she was the reason why his plan didn't work out. What if his hatred eventually turns into something different than he'd least expected? Will he be able to correct his mistakes when what happened in the past is like a curse keeping them away from each other? Including Sheena, the woman he was supposed to kidnap before and is now trying to get back into his life. ***

Isang gabi ang naging simula ng pagbabagong hindi inaasahan sa buhay ni Elisse Marquez. Sa gitna ng sakit na dulot ng pagtataksil ng kanyang pinsan at dating kasintahan, tinanggap niya ang imbitasyon ng kanyang kaibigan na dumalo sa isang engrandeng party. Layunin niyang takasan ang kasal ng pinsan niyang sumira sa kanyang tiwala at damdamin. Sa gabing iyon, pinili niyang kalimutan muna ang lahat at magpakalunod sa saya, musika, at liwanag. Doon niya nakilala ang isang misteryosong lalaki—isang estrangherong agad niyang nakaramdam ng koneksyon. Sa kabila ng pagiging hindi magkakilala, nagbahagi sila ng isang gabi ng init, saya, at emosyon. Isang gabing hindi niya inakalang mag-iiwan ng panghabambuhay na marka. Pagkaraan ng gabing iyon, bigla na lamang nawala ang lalaki. Walang pangalan, walang bakas, at walang paraan para hanapin siya. Ngunit mas mabigat pa rito ang natuklasan ni Elisse—siya ay buntis. Sa kabila ng takot at pagkalito, pinili niyang harapin ang bagong yugto ng kanyang buhay nang mag-isa, habang patuloy na iniingatan sa alaala ang lalaking minsang nagpasaya sa kanya. Lumipas ang panahon at nagkaroon si Elisse ng pagkakataong magtrabaho bilang advisor sa isang kilalang kumpanya. Dito niya nakilala si Matteo Alvarez, isang makapangyarihang CEO na kilala sa kanyang pagiging seryoso, mainitin ang ulo, at walang oras sa pag-ibig. Sa kabila ng kanyang matigas na personalidad, may lihim siyang hinahanap—ang babaeng nakasama niya sa isang gabing hindi niya makalimutan. Hindi nila alam na ang tadhana ay muli silang pagtatagpuin—sa paraang hindi nila inaasahan, at sa panahong magbabago sa kanilang kapalaran.

Sa loob ng sampung taon na magkasintahan si Elle at Franz, nauwi ang lahat sa hiwalayan, dahil sa isang babae na isang kaibigan lang daw. Alam ni Elle na mabait at maunawain ang kanyang nobyo, pero masyadong lumagpas ang pagiging mabait nito na naka-apekto sa kanilang relasyon, siya na naturingan na nobya, pero parang siya pa ang walang karapatan kay Franz. Masakit kay Elle na bitawan si Franz, pero hindi niya hahayaan na masira pa lalo ang buhay niya kung laging pagdadahilan ang maririnig niya mula sa bibig ni Franz. Nagpakalayo at napadpad sa isang tahimik na lugar si Elle para lubos na makalimutan si Franz, at para na rin doon ibuhos ang lahat ng sakit, pero hindi rin pala niya magagawa dahil sa isang mala-yelong pagkatao ng isang lalaki na makakasama niya sa isang bahay, hindi naman siya pinanganak na mayaman kaya kailangan niyang mangupahan. Ang akalang kalmado at walang sakit sa ulo na tahanan ay magiging mahirap para kay Elle, dahil sa ugali ni Jack, ang kasama niya sa bahay. Kung si Elle ay mayroong liwanag kahit pa nasaktan ito, si Jack ang nagpapawala no'n dahil sa hindi sila magkasundong dalawa sa lahat ng bagay sa iisang bubong. Away dito, away doon ang ginagawa nila araw-araw. Tuluyan kayang maghilom ang sugatan na puso ni Elle, o mas lalong hindi, dahil kay Jack? Paano na lang kung isang araw sa kagustuhan na mag-move-on ni Elle kay Jack na tumitibok ang kanyang puso? Ang isa pang malaking rebelasyon, paano kung malaman ni Elle na isang bilyonaryo pala si Jack na nagpapanggap na mahirap para sa isang misyon?
