Jade And Tanner

“Ang bata lang naman ang dahilan kung bakit nanatili pa rin ako. Pero ngayong wala na ang baby, maghiwalay na tayo.” — KARINA BERMUDEZ KARINA BERMUDEZ, a college working student, took responsibility for her younger siblings. Bilang isang panganay na ayaw mahiwalay sa mga kapatid niyang puro lalaki, pilit niya silang binubuhay nang walang hinihinging kahit ano sa kanilang mga magulang matapos maghiwalay ang mga ito. She despised her parents for ruining their almost perfect family. By night, she works at the VIP Hotel, where she met the man who would change everything about her—LUTHER MENDEZ, a man in his 30's who had no interest in relationships, but accidentally slept with her. What will Luther do if he finds out that he got her pregnant? Will he take responsibility? And will she be ready to be with someone she's not even familiar with?

"Marry me for three years. Once Leah is back, we’ll divorce, and I’ll give you ten million dollars." The words were a cold offer, spoken so close to her that she could barely breathe. Alexander King—ruthless, untouchable, looks to die for and heir to the King empire—has never been the kind to beg. But when his first love, Leah, disappears, he makes a deal with Athena Dawson, the orphan girl his family has sponsored for years. Three years of marriage to protect the position of wife for Leah. A contract. And a promise of millions. But Athena doesn’t want his money. She wants him. She agrees, hoping that in those three years, she can make him love her—not as deeply as he loved Leah, but just enough to make him keep her by his side. And for a while, it almost seems possible. He’s sweet. Protective. Almost hers. Until Leah returns. Just like that, the dream shatters. The warmth disappears. And the man who once held her so gently turns cold, placing divorce papers in her hands as a cruel reminder of the deal they made. Their dirty little secret. But what if Athena isn’t the same girl who agreed to the contract? And what if, for the first time in his life, Alexander King realizes he made a mistake?

But it all came crashing down when I caught my fiance cheating on me. And as if fate wanted to add insult to my injury, I lost my job the next day. Guess who I also ran into?

Exiled from Faerie. Hunted by her own. Torn between fate and freedom. Lena tried to kill her royal fiance and she would’ve succeeded, if not for the magic that branded her a traitor and cast her out of Faerie.

But when the local wolf pack starts circling, and one rugged, maddeningly patient shifter makes her magic sing, Lena’s vow to stay detached begins to fray. Then she’s taken.

With enemies on all sides; an unrelenting Order, a Fae court that wants her silenced, and a ticking clock on the lives of those she's sworn to protect; Lena must decide: hide, run... or become the weapon no one saw coming.

My husband brings a pregnant Meryl Cleat home and lies to me, claiming that she's his stepmother.

Out of guilt, I become a stay-at-home mother to care for her two super male kids. Yet they scaled me with boiling water and blind me in one eye. My health deteriorates under their intense torment, and I'm diagnosed with uremia. That's when I accidentally discover Meryl isn't my stepmother—she's my husband's mistress! I'm in despair when I return home. To make matters worse, I catch her—when she's supposed to be dead—and my husband in bed together. Her two super male sons ultimately stab me to death. When I open my eyes again, I'm taken back to the day she fakes her death!

The closer I get to him, the more secrets I uncover, about his empire, my past, and the night my mother died. He says I belong to him. His enemies say I should run.

The System told me that, as a player, I stood a chance of reviving my beloved if I played the game enough times. As such, I gave my heart to charm Mila Gibbs, even if it meant dying ninety-nine times. When I played the game for the hundredth time, Mila sent me into a room with a deviant just for her true love's fancy. "You're not going to die anyway. Just make Julian laugh, and I don't mind marrying you." She didn't know that once I played the game a hundred times, my wish would be granted, success notwithstanding. I shall hence disappear from her world without a trace.
