Long Slow Distance

I roll my eyes. "Why are you being nice to me? Did your therapist say it was good for your mental health?" *************** Jeanet and James have been together for four almost blissful years. Two years ago, James bumped into his ex-girlfriend and realized he still had feelings for her, but every time Jeanet asked him, he denied this, until one morning when he does something that makes Jeanet finally lose it. She moves out of their shared apartment, but she has nowhere to go. She can barely afford rent with her failed business, and no company wants to hire her due to her past. She ends up forced to work for Damien, the Italian hotshot who barely smiles, who is also her best friend's uncle, and who has always despised her, but she never cared, because she despised him back even more. How are they supposed to share space when they are a true definition of a cat and mouse?

“They’re mine, aren’t they?” Valerian’s voice was a low, breathless murmur, each word heavy with a truth he’d been fighting to deny. “You’re the omega I was with that night eight years ago. Which means… there’s a strong possibility those twins are my children.” Billionaire Alpha, Valerian Rutherson rules his empire, but his fiery secretary, Luna Hart, rules him. He can't deny her loyalty, or the spark that ignites between them, even as she challenges his every move. But their simmering tension explodes when Valerian discovers Luna's secret: she's the woman he marked eight years ago, the mother of his twins. Now, he's determined to claim his family. But Luna is bound by a promise to Valerian's father, a vow that forbids her from ever becoming the Alpha's mate. Will Valerian break down the walls around Luna's heart and convince her to defy fate, or will their past and her promise keep them apart forever?

" Between his rules and his sheets, I got lost.” Pagkatapos mabuko ang panloloko ng nobyo’t matalik na kaibigan, winasak ng sakit ang puso ni Alexa. Wala na siyang ibang pinanghawakan kundi ang trabaho—hanggang sa dumating ang bagong CEO. Siya si Damien Alcantara. Matalino. Malamig. Mapanganib. Isang boss na may titig na kayang tunawin ang lahat ng depensa ni Alexa. Pero mas nakakatuliro ang katotohanan—siya ang tiyuhin ng ex niya. Nag-umpisa ito sa lihim na pagnanasa. Nauwi sa kasunduan. Hanggang sa isang gabi, natagpuan ni Alexa ang sarili na… nasa kama ng sariling boss. "Marry me. For protection. Nothing more," sabi ni Damien. Pero paano kung ang kama nilang dalawa ay mas maraming sinasabi kaysa sa kontrata nila? Caught between his sheets, and caught between danger and desire… hanggang kailan niya kayang itanggi ang apoy sa pagitan nila?

Medina menyimpan luka kelam yang tak pernah sembuh—pernah dilecehkan di masa remaja, dalam keadaan rapuh, dan mirisnya hingga kini ia tak pernah tahu siapa pelakunya. Bertahun-tahun berlalu, Medina kembali dengan wajah baru. Bukan lagi gadis lemah, melainkan wanita cerdas dan berkelas. Namun, takdir mempertemukannya kembali dengan Shinji, pria arogan yang dulu menjadi salah satu mimpi buruknya. Lalu muncullah Shenoval—kembaran Shinji yang misterius, penuh rahasia, dan perlahan mengaitkan dirinya dengan potongan masa lalu yang hilang. Di antara cinta, dendam, dan luka lama yang siap terbongkar, Medina harus memilih: mencari kebenaran tentang pelaku yang menghancurkannya, atau terjerat cinta pada salah satu dari dua CEO kembar yang sama-sama berbahaya.

Anna berniat menggoda seorang pria tampan di bar, tetapi pria itu tiba-tiba memanggilnya “Paula” dan hampir menciumnya. Keesokan harinya, Anna terkejut mengetahui bahwa pria itu adalah Mark Christopher Lawrence—CEO Lawrence Company, bos barunya. Ketika Lily, putri kecil Mark, mulai memanggil Anna “Mommy”, Mark yang sangat arogan memaksa Anna bersandiwara demi membahagiakan Lily, membuat Anna terseret masuk ke dalam kehidupan ganda, menjadi sekretaris Mark sekaligus pengganti Paula, istri Mark yang menghilang dua tahun lalu.

It all started with one encounter. One night with a man whose touch felt like sin and whose scent still haunts my skin. I never meant to fall — but when I caught my boyfriend, the Alpha’s son, cheating on me, something inside me broke. And that’s when he found me — a stranger cloaked in dominance and danger. His hands promised ruin, his lips whispered damnation. I gave in. Just once. Or so I thought. Now, I’ve been hired as the Alpha’s new secretary. And when I walked into his office, the world stopped. Because he’s not a stranger. He’s him. The man from that night. The man I should have never touched. The father of my ex. I tell myself I can resist him — that I can keep my secret buried. But every time his gaze lingers, every time that deep, commanding voice wraps around my name, my resolve burns away. This isn’t love. It's an obsession. Possession. Darkness disguised as desire. And I know one thing for sure — once an Alpha sets his eyes on you… He never lets go.
