Leon Fou Bartfort

She got pregnant by the man she loved, but he left her. To protect the image of their family, Ayana Salma De’Mario was grounded and hidden, like a bad omen, together with her child. She knows only the walls of her room, her sweet five-year-old girl, her paintings, the young student she is teaching, and this mysterious ghost lover whom she has never met. But a tragedy strikes their family empire. In need of a savior, her family decided to trade the black sheep of the family to save their company. And in the picture is the cold-hearted Adam Stone De'Leon, the most notorious heartbreaker the country has ever had. But the moment he meets Ayana, something changes—something that leaves his walls in shambles. His heart starts beating only for this girl. But Ayana is done being tossed like an object. She yearns for freedom, especially to save her deprived child. But while she battles over what to do, the billionaire baby Daddy returns to claim what he believes is his. As if that is not enough tangle, her ghost lover finally reveals himself—the one whom she thought would take her out of the cage. But he turns out to be the one person she wouldn't have expected—her student. Three smoking hot billionaires, after one lost, desperate, and confused soul. And the tangle begins! Who will win Ayana's heart?

Para mailigtas ang bahay nilang malapit nang marimata, Amara De Leon ay napilitang ibenta ang sarili sa isang estranghero kapalit ng malaking halaga. Kinaumagahan, tinanggap niya ang bayad at umalis nang hindi lumilingon. Isang buwan ang lumipas, at doon niya nalaman ang hindi niya inaasahan... buntis siya. Nang matuklasan ito ng kanyang mga magulang, itinakwil siya at pinalayas. Sa loob ng apat na taon, tiniis ni Amara ang lahat—nagbanat ng buto sa iba’t ibang trabaho, pinalaki ang anak nang mag-isa, at pilit itinaguyod ang sarili upang makapagtapos. Hanggang sa dumating ang pagkakataon na maging sekretarya siya sa isang kilalang kumpanya. Ngunit nang humarap siya sa kanyang bagong boss, halos mabura ang mundo niya nang makita kung sino ito.

I'm a wedding dress designer, and one day before the finals of the Bridal Queen Tournament, explicit photos of me are posted all over the internet. Countless people accuse me of defiling the concept of love. They say I don't deserve to make wedding dresses, and in the end, I'm disqualified from the tournament. The photos can only come from one person—my boyfriend, Felix Evans. On the verge of a breakdown, I seek him out for answers. But right before I walk through the door, I hear him having a conversation with his twin, Leon Evans. "As expected, the netizens sank their teeth into Dahlia the moment the photos were posted online. I'm guessing that she's going to be blacklisted by the entire fashion industry too. There's no way she can compete against Sylvia for the title of Bridal Queen anymore." "Does this mean I can't pretend to be you and sleep with her anymore? Truth be told, she's pretty good in bed. She's pure, but she's also seductive." "You should take advantage of the situation and sleep with her as much as you want then. Once Sylvia wins the title of Bridal Queen, I'm going to cut ties with Dahlia completely and officially pursue Sylvia." Listening to their casual conversation, I feel like a sharp blade is being ruthlessly stabbed into my heart. I don't know how I got home. After sitting in a daze the entire night, I call a studio overseas and tell them, "I'll be joining you in three days."

Business. I hate that stupid word with a passion. I hate everything about it. Every time I see that awful word I turn the other way. How it made my family not to be a real family.

Her father felt indebted to him because he saved his life on one of their encounters to the authority. Pero ang hindi alam ng ama ay masamang tao ang pinagkakatiwalaan nito dahil isang gabi na wala ito ay sinubukan siyang pagsamantalahan ni Leon at nang hindi siya pumayag ay sinaktan siya nito. Tumakbo siya ng tumakbo hanggang sa makarating sa isang kubo sa gitna ng sagingan at doon ay nakatulog siya. Nang magising ay nasa isang silid na siya at agad na bumulaga sa kanya ang mukha ng isang lalaki. The most handsome face she had ever seen. Hindi niya alam na posibleng makaramdam siya ng sense of security sa lalaking kakikilala pa lamang niya at iyon ang ibinibigay ng awra nito sa kanya. Agad na nahulog ang loob niya rito at hindi niya alam kung ano ang gagawin dahil nagpanggap siyang wala siyang naaalala kahit pa ang sarili niyang pangalan. Matatanggap kaya siya nito kapag nalaman nitong parte siya ng isang grupo na lumalaban sa gobyerno? Pero paano kung nahulog na rin pala ito sa kanya?

“But that’s not fair, Gunnar!” I protested, my voice barely rising above a whisper. Despite his blindness, I dared not look him in the eye. “This second-chance bond goes both ways. Why are you allowed to flirt with other women, but I’m not?” Gunnar growled fiercely, pushing me against the wall. “No one is flirting with anyone, Aqua. If I were you, I would forget about that healer because you’re not going anywhere. YOU. ARE. MINE.” -------------------------------------------------- Aqua, a third-tier submissive wolf, finds her peaceful world shattered when her lover, Leon, tricks her into a perilous plan to offer her virginity to the most ruthless and powerful alpha wolf in the lands: the Alpha King, Gunnar Buchanan. Furious and feeling betrayed, Gunnar initially wants her dead for the deception. However, he soon discovers that the weakest wolf in the pack is his second-chance mate, a bond that complicates everything. Determined to break the bond, Gunnar struggles with his own desires. He cannot fathom making Aqua his Luna Queen, yet something in her innocent blue eyes ignites a possessive fire within him. As the bond deepens, Aqua’s presence challenges his resolve and awakens feelings he thought were long buried. As Aqua transforms from a submissive wolf to a dominant one, she faces numerous trials, from jealous pack members to deadly external threats. Her bond with Gunnar, initially a curse, becomes a source of strength. But as she gains power, the question remains: Can she break the second-chance bond that binds them, or will she find that her destiny lies with the Alpha King?

« Assieds-toi sur ma gueule, Gabi », dit Kai d'une voix rauque, le regard sombre fixé sur sa fausse petite amie aux formes généreuses, debout devant lui. « Je… je… je ne peux pas, Kai. Tu ne vois pas ? Je suis ronde et trop grosse… », murmura Gabi, la voix empreinte d'autodérision. Elle détestait ne pas être mince et belle comme les autres filles de la fac. « Raison de plus pour laquelle je veux que tu t'assoies sur ma putain de gueule, Princesse. » Les grandes mains calleuses de Kai se glissèrent jusqu'à l'arrière de ses cuisses, l'attirant contre lui. « Étouffe-moi jusqu'à ce que je perde mon putain de souffle et crois-moi, Princesse, je mourrai comblé. » ****** Mais elle était heureuse que son copain aime ses formes, du moins jusqu'à ce qu'elle découvre qu'elle n'était qu'un pion dans son jeu. Il ne voulait qu'une aventure d'un soir et, une fois son désir assouvi, il l'a larguée. Se sentant trahie, Gabi, fou de rage, fit irruption dans un bar où elle tomba sur Kai Nightwale, un motard dangereux et notoire. Blessé, elle l'aida à stopper l'hémorragie. Depuis, leurs chemins ne s'étaient plus croisés, du moins c'est ce que Gabi croyait jusqu'à ce qu'elle recroise ce même motard à la fac. Il lui proposa un marché : un faux rendez-vous. Elle devait être sa fausse petite amie pendant un an, le temps qu'il l'aide à gérer son ex-petit ami toxique et tous ceux qui se moquaient d'elle et la traitaient de grosse. Cependant, un faux rendez-vous ne devait pas paraître aussi réel, et pourtant… Kai Nightwale était complètement sous le charme de Gabi. Chaque faux baiser, chaque caresse, chaque mot cru la rendait tellement réelle qu'elle semblait impossible à ignorer !

Ne trouvant plus d'échappatoire, Chloé Dumont a donc passé un accord avec la mère de Lucien Bernard. Elle a fini par épouser Lucien. Pendant trois ans de mariage, Chloé était douce, obéissante, supportait tout sans jamais se plaindre. Elle est allée même jusqu'à aider Lucien — paralysé des jambes et au caractère explosif — à se remettre debout. Elle pensait naïvement qu'ils pourraient continuer à vivre ensemble, malgré tout. Mais c'était sans compter sur le retour de Jeanne Laurent, la femme qu'il avait toujours aimée. Un jour de pluie torrentielle, sans une hésitation, il l'a abandonnée, trempée et misérable, pour aller chercher Jeanne. Par la suite, il a inventé un déplacement professionnel… alors qu'il emmenait Jeanne à un concert. Pire encore, il l'a ramenée chez eux, flirtait ouvertement devant Chloé… Déçue encore et encore, Chloé a fini par prendre une décision : divorcer. ... La prochaine fois que Lucien recroisait Chloé, c'était à une soirée mondaine. Son ex-femme — autrefois terne et insignifiante — portait une robe de haute couture, elle était rayonnante, gracieuse, d'une élégance à couper le souffle. Mais ce qui le rendait fou de jalousie, c'est qu'elle ne le regardait même plus. Elle souriait à un autre, riait doucement dans ses bras. Il l'a coincée dans un coin de la salle, le regard noir : « Chloé, qui t'a permis d'être avec un autre homme ? » Elle l'a giflé sans hésiter : « C'est qui ce chien qui me colle ? Dégage, ou je porte plainte pour harcèlement sexuel ! » ... Chloé déménageait dans un nouvel appartement et faisait la connaissance d'un voisin calme et bienveillant. Cet homme s'appelait Xavier Marchand. Il lui apprenait à faire confiance, à s'appuyer sur quelqu'un. Avec lui, elle devenait presque une enfant qu'on protège. À chaque obstacle, il était là, toujours présent, solide comme un roc. Leurs rendez-vous, ses déclarations, la demande en mariage, même les moindres détails du mariage… Xavier s'en occupait, tout était pensé pour elle. C'est là que Chloé comprenait : Être aimée, chérie, portée dans le creux de la main par quelqu'un… c'est ça, le vrai bonheur.
