Julian Santos Caraval

She married her childhood crush for money. Falling for him again wasn’t part of the deal. When Adele’s mother is diagnosed with ovarian cancer, she’s left with one impossible option: marry the man she once loved in secret—or watch her world fall apart. Julian Hawthorne, a cold billionaire with everything to lose, offers her a deal: two years of marriage, no strings attached, in exchange for enough money to save her family—and keep his manipulative ex-wife at bay while securing his dream business deal. To him, it’s just business. To her, it’s heartbreak waiting to happen. But fake vows can’t hide real feelings. And when old wounds reopen and boundaries blur, Adele is no longer the quiet girl he used to ignore—she’s the woman who might just destroy his control. Because in a game of power, secrets, and desire... The heart never sticks to the rules.

I hired a stranger to make my husband jealous. I didn't expect to fall in love. My marriage was a beautiful lie. My husband's affair was the final straw. He wants a threesome. Something I never Imagined. So, I did something crazy: I hired a handsome stranger to play the perfect man. Julian was supposed to be a temporary fix. A weapon. But he turned out to be everything my husband wasn't: kind, attentive, and fiercely protective. There's only one problem, he's also Cruz Marcus, the powerful CEO who is now my husband's business rival. I'm caught between the man I vowed to love and the man I hired to pretend. One offers the life I thought I wanted. The other offers a love I never knew I needed. But in this game of hearts and power, choosing the right man could cost me everything.

She's granted the freedom to head out with her mother for the first time ever. There she comes face to face with Clara, who instigates her to sneak from home and join a forest party. Clara _due to her desire for adventure_ sneaks and joins the midnight party. The party is disrupted by a mighty werewolf that sends everyone running for their dear lives.

Arielle Santos 24 years old never imagined that her life would be written for her — even her love story. She was raised in a modest family, a dreamer who painted her hopes in colors only she could see. But one evening, her world collapsed when her parents revealed the truth: to save their family from bankruptcy, she had to marry the son of their business partner — Evan Monteverde, the 28 years old, cold and distant heir of one of the country’s most powerful companies. Evan didn’t believe in love. To him, emotions were distractions — weaknesses that could ruin a man. He had long promised himself never to trust feelings again after being betrayed by someone he once loved. So when his father announced his arranged marriage with a woman he barely knew, he didn’t protest for love’s sake — only to end the endless lectures about “duty” and “family legacy.” Their wedding day was perfect — at least in the eyes of the guests. But behind the veil and the smiles, two strangers stood at the altar, reciting vows they didn’t mean. The words “I do”echoed in the church, but neither of them truly did. After the ceremony, they made a deal — they would live together for one year, play their roles for the sake of appearances, and then quietly separate. No love. No expectations. Just peace. But peace was harder to keep than they thought.

“As a financial forensic, I'm trained to uncover traces of fraud in numbers. But nothing prepared me for discovering my own husband's secret accounts... and the bodies buried beneath his transactions.” In the heart of glittering Amsterdam, where ancient canals hold modern secrets, Sofia Van Der Meer is a renowned relationship therapist who seems to have it all: a successful practice, a beautiful canal house, and a perfect marriage to hedge fund manager Marcus Dekker. But behind the glitter of their elite Dutch society life lies an intricate tangle of lies that threatens to destroy everything they've built. When Marcus' dangerous secret is revealed, Sofia is drawn into a dangerous game of passion and revenge with charismatic psychiatrist Dr. Julian Reeves. As the line between professional ethics and primal desire begins to blur, Sofia must confront a dark truth: sometimes those who heal others bear the deepest wounds.

Cuando mi esposo me amenazó por centésima vez con el divorcio para que me sacrificara por mi hermana, Yoli Santos, no lloré ni hice escándalo. Simplemente firmé el acuerdo de divorcio, y le entregué en bandeja al hombre que había amado durante diez años. Días después, Yoli metió la pata en una fiesta y ofendió a una familia poderosa. Una vez más, fui yo quien cargó con la culpa por ella y asumí todas las consecuencias. Incluso cuando propusieron que yo fuera la voluntaria para probar el medicamento del proyecto de mi hermana, acepté sin dudar. Mis padres dijeron que por fin me había vuelto una hija razonable. Hasta mi esposo, tan frío como siempre, se paró junto a mi cama, me acarició la mejilla, algo que no hacía desde hacía años, y me dijo con ternura: —No tengas miedo. El experimento no es peligroso. Cuando salgas, te prepararé tu comida favorita. Pero él no sabía que, fuera o no peligroso el experimento, ya no iba a poder esperarme. Porque tengo una enfermedad terminal. Y me voy a morir muy pronto.

Dois dias antes do Ano Novo, meu namorado, Murilo Santos, decidiu viajar para o litoral... Com a assistente dele. — Tudo bem. — Eu disse, sem brigar, sem chorar. Pelo contrário, ajudei a fazer as malas dele, agindo como se estivesse tudo certo. Ele riu da minha compreensão e soltou, com aquele tom debochado: — Agora que tá grávida, finalmente aprendeu a se comportar... Assim que ele saiu pela porta, fui direto para a clínica. Fiz um aborto. Na minha vida passada, eu tentei usar aquela criança como amarra. Achei que, com um filho, ele ficaria comigo. O que aconteceu? A assistente dele foi brutalmente assassinada na praia. Murilo continuou com aquela máscara de frieza, como se nada tivesse acontecido... Mas quando chegou o dia do parto, ele tirou a própria máscara. Com uma crueldade que nem nos meus piores pesadelos eu imaginava, ele mesmo abriu meu ventre... E matou o nosso bebê. Com as próprias mãos. Foi ali que tudo fez sentido. Ele nunca me perdoou. Nunca esqueceu. Agora que voltei no tempo, só tenho um objetivo: Destruir Murilo. Fazer ele perder tudo.

Sanay si Dominic Villaruel, isang gwapong bilyonaryo at may-ari ng kilalang hotel chain, na habulin at pagsilbihan ng mga babaeng halos mag-unahan para lamang mapansin siya. Dahil sa tingin niya’y pare-pareho lang ang lahat—nahuhulog sa kanyang yaman at sa kinang ng kanyang kagwapuhan—hindi niya kailanman sineseryoso ang pag-ibig. Mayabang, arogante, at sarado ang puso; iyon ang mundong matagal na niyang nakasanayan. Ngunit biglang nag-iba ang lahat nang makilala niya si Mira Santos, isang tahimik at introvert na staff sa kanyang hotel. Sa unang pagkikita, ni hindi siya nito binigyan ng tingin—para bang ang kinang ng kanyang itsura ay wala lang. Sa halip na ikababa ng kanyang ego, mas lalo siyang naiintriga. Unti-unti, natuklasan ni Dominic na sa likod ng pagiging mahiyain ni Mira ay may matatag at matalinong babaeng kayang suwayin ang kanyang kayabangan. At sa bawat saglit na magkasama sila, tila isang pana ng kupido ang muling bumuhay sa pusong matagal nang naniniwala na hindi na muling iibig. Hindi niya akalain—ang babaeng hindi man lang siya pinapansin ang siya palang dahilan ng pagbagsak ng kanyang pusong matagal nang sarado sa pag-ibig.
