Louise The Zero

The dying heir to Silverbay's showbiz empire suddenly announces he'll select a bride at random from the city's prominent families, hoping the marriage can bring some luck and save his life. On the night before my own wedding, his men arrive and inform us that the Simmons family has been chosen. My parents have just three days to deliver a daughter to him. As soon as my sister, Roxanne Simmons, hears the news, she breaks down in tears and rushes to my fiance for help. When he sees her crying, Clinton Whitfield drops to his knees in front of me, under everyone's gaze. "Mr. Sterling enjoys tormenting virgins. If Roxanne marries him, who knows what he'll do to her? "But you're already past the marrying age, so he won't be interested in you. Please, help Roxy this once!" He looks away, his voice heavy with guilt as he continues, "Besides, he doesn't have much time left. When you return, I'll marry you." Tears well up in my eyes. I ask, stunned, "And what if I don't want to?" Clinton's gaze turns cold, his earlier guilt replaced by ruthless intent. "Then I'll make sure you go to him myself." I laugh bitterly as a chill runs through me. "Fine. I'll go instead."

Marshall Locke, the assistant working for my wife, Amelia Stone, leaves out three zeroes on a contract. It leads to ten million dollars in losses for the company. The factory that has collaborated with us on the project goes bankrupt, and its owner jumps off a building as a result of the situation. All Marshall does is shed a few tears, and Amelia immediately pins all the blame on me. She claims I single-handedly managed the entire project. I get sued in court, which leaves me ten million dollars in debt. When the deceased's family posts about me online, the entire internet curses me out, saying that I should die too. My entire industry blacklists me. The career I've painstakingly built up for myself is destroyed just like that. But when I confront Amelia about this, she simply looks at her freshly manicured nails and says airily, "Marshall is young and inexperienced. You've been in the business for so many years now. It's not like this has caused any damage to you." Recalling the way she and Marshall had been wrapped up in a passionate kiss before I came in, I pull out the divorce agreement I prepared in advance and toss it at her. "Sign it."

Meu namorado virtual é o meu chefe. Mas ele não sabe. Ele vez após vez tem pedido para nos encontrarmos pessoalmente. Meu Deus, se a gente se encontrasse pessoalmente, amanhã meu corpo estaria pendurado na parede. Eu, sem hesitar, terminei. Depois ele ficou de mau humor, e toda a empresa teve que fazer hora extra por causa disso. Hum, como dizer? Pelo bem da minha saúde física e mental, reatar, também não é impossível.

"Up until now, my life made sense. Up until now, I had been sheltered away from a world where murder was acceptable and debts were payment. Now, I was exposed to that world, and the lies, secrets and favours were my new currency. The rules were easy to follow and even easier to manipulate. But the last thing I expected was to be thrown in the deep end, fighting for everything I loved." Emiliana was moving on from what she lost, her safety, security, and the love. But what happens when her bodyguard comes back and shows her that the life her family had protected her from, is the life she fits into?

Jake, the guy I used to work with. The guy that I had unspoken tension and chemistry with from the first day we met. I say unspoken because nothing was ever said or done about it at the time. Why? because we were both in relationships. The last time I saw him was over a year ago, and a lot has changed since then, well some things. I was single, he was still taken, and that should be enough to keep me at bay, right? Wrong! One night we meet at the club and everything changes. I become the kind of woman I never thought I was, the kind to go after another woman's man. And he becomes something he never thought he was either, a cheater. It was only supposed to be a one-time thing, but it was like the moment we had a taste, we keep coming back for more. Temptation is a hard thing to fight, and I guess in this case, it is a fight that we both lost.

Lumaki si Louise na mulat sa panglalalaki ng kaniyang ina na siyang naging dahilan para maghiwalay ang kaniyang mga magulang. Dahil pinili ni Louise na sumama sa kaniyang ama, naranasan niyang apihin ng mapagmataas na pamilya ng kaniyang ama. Wala na halos mapuntahan si Louise, pakiramdam niya kalaban niya ang mundo, lalo na nang mapag-alaman niyang niloloko siya ng kasintahan at matalik na kaibigan. Sa paghahangad niyang makalimot sa lahat, isang gabi ang bumago ng tuluyan sa takbo ng buhay ni Louise ng makatalik niya ang pinakamayaman at kilalang bilyonaryo sa bansa. Ang bilyonaryong ito ay matagal ng naghahangad na magkaroon ng tagapagmana. Ngunit dahil sa isang sekretong napag-alaman ni Louise tungkol sa lalaki ay labis siyang natakot para sa kaligtasan ng kambal na pinagbubuntis niya. Naisipan ni Louise na magtrabaho bilang sekretarya sa kompanya para mabantayan ang bawat galaw ng bilyonaryo at masiguradong hindi sila mahahanap ng kambal. Gayunpaman, ginagawa ng bilyonaryo ang lahat at habang nakikita ni Louise kung gaano ito kapursigido na mahanap ang kambal ay mas lalo rin niyang nakikilala ang tunay na katauhan ng misteryosong bilyonaryo. Ngunit kung kailan pa naging sapat ang dahilan niya para ipakilala ang kambal sa ama ng mga ito ay matutuklasan niya na ang sariling ama ang dahilan sa likod ng panganganib ng buhay ng bilyonaryo at ng kambal. Napagtanto ni Louise kung gaano kagahaman sa pera ang ama at gagawin nito ang lahat kahit mapahamak pa sila ng anak mga niya. Sa puntong ito magbabago ang kagustuhan ni Louise sa buhay — ipagkakatiwala niya ang kaligtasan ng kambal sa bilyonaryo at tutulungan itong pabagsakin ang ama at ang pamilya nitong umapi sa kaniya.
