Evelisse Saint Laurent knew she had ruined everything the moment she became entangled with the infamous cold billionaire, Draven Virelli. Driven by her family’s greed and desperation for their approval, Evelisse did the unforgivable—she drugged the powerful billionaire and spent one reckless night in his bed. A single mistake shattered Draven’s seemingly perfect relationship and bound Evelisse to him forever when she discovered she was carrying his child. But Evelisse was never the villain everyone believed her to be. Behind the luxurious Saint Laurent name was a broken daughter—abused, neglected, and treated like nothing more than a pawn by her own father. Ever since her mother’s death, Evelisse had lived like a ghost, craving the love and validation her family would never give her. So when her father ordered her to secure the Virelli clan at all costs, she obeyed. Now trapped in a marriage with a man who despises her, Evelisse is forced to endure humiliation, betrayal, and endless heartbreak. Every cold glance from Draven reminds her of the sin that tied them together. Yet one thing refuses to make sense. Draven Virelli insists he was never the man she spent that scorching night with. The conviction in his eyes shakes everything Evelisse thought she knew. Because if Draven isn’t the father of her child… then who is? As secrets buried deep within the powerful Virelli clan begin to unravel, Evelisse finds herself caught in a dangerous web of lies, obsession, and power. And somewhere behind the throne of the Virelli clan sits a man far more terrifying—and far more obsessed with her—than Draven himself. In a world ruled by money, manipulation, and bloodlines, Evelisse Saint Laurent must decide whether she wants the crown… Or the man willing to destroy people just to keep her.

My name is Akira Sy, or rather, Akira Sy Montenegro—18 years old. Yes, I’m married to the man I love most, Kyle Xavier Montenegro. He’s a businessman—handsome, incredibly successful, and has everything. I fell in love with him when I was 16, always dreaming that one day we’d be together, and yes, my dreams came true. The next morning, I woke up to a cold sensation on my face. I opened my eyes and realized it was water, soaking my entire face. I looked up and was met with Kyle’s dark, piercing gaze. I immediately felt a wave of anxiety. “K-Kyle,” I stammered, my voice trembling. He closed his eyes tightly, as if burdened by a huge problem. “Stand up, wh*re. I’m hungry. Cook for me, NOW!” he ordered with authority, making me scramble to get up without even bothering to wipe my face or change clothes. No, we don’t sleep in the same room. He’s in the master bedroom while I stay in the guest room because he finds me disgusting. It hurts so much when those words come from him. He’s always like that. I rushed down the stairs, tying my robe as I went, heading straight to the kitchen to prepare his breakfast. Yes, I’m his secret wife. No one knows except our parents and a few friends. Since we got married, there hasn’t been a day when he didn’t remind me that he doesn’t love me. Not a day goes by without him hurting me, but it’s okay because, like I said, I love him so much that I’m willing to do anything just for him to love me back.

In a world ruled by power and betrayal, Atticus Escoban, the younger daughter of the influential Escoban family, has always lived away from the dangerous chaos of their criminal empire. For 21 years, she was sheltered, hidden, and protected. But her life changes forever when Alijax Costaloña, the cold and calculating heir of the Costaloña dynasty, violently confronts her father, leaving him gravely wounded. Atticus never expected to be caught in the crossfire of her family’s schemes. Worse, Alijax discovers her existence and shocks everyone by choosing her—over her older sister Anneth—to be his fiancée. The engagement is a sham, a dangerous ploy to secure alliances, but Alijax has plans no one can predict. Determined to protect her family at any cost, Atticus agrees to the engagement, kahit na lumalaban ang puso niya sa ideya. Behind her composed exterior, she plots her way out, refusing to let the Costaloñas dictate her future. But the closer she gets to Alijax, the harder it becomes to distinguish between the man who ruined her family and the one who seems capable of understanding her like no one else. “Do you think you can escape this, Atticus?” he said, his voice dangerously low as he cornered her in the dimly lit study. “You’re mine now. Whether you like it or not.” Her fists clenched, and she met his cold, unreadable gaze with defiance. “You can own the world, Alijax Costaloña, pero ako? Hindi mo ako makukuha.” In a game of power, deception, and forbidden emotions, Atticus must make the ultimate choice. Will she sacrifice her freedom to protect her family, or will she risk it all to claim the life she truly deserves? Love and survival collide in a story where nothing is what it seems, and every decision could be deadly.
