Manhunt Gretchen Felker-martin

There’s a thin line between desperation and destiny ****** Sophia Jenkins has lived her life in the shadows of hardship. At 23, she juggles multiple jobs, trying to lift her family out of debt while caring for her terminally ill mother. Her only dream is to escape the weight of her broken home and rewrite her family’s fate. But fate had other plans. On her birthday, when relentless debt collectors humiliate her and her father, Sophia’s world shatters—until a mysterious man steps out of a sleek black car, commanding the chaos with nothing but his presence. Leonard Morano. At 40, Leonard is the ruthless head of the Morano mafia empire, a billionaire controlling over a hundred businesses and underground casinos. What no one knows is that he was once Martin Jenkins’ best friend—and the man who silently watched Sophia grow from afar before vanishing when she was fifteen. Now, he’s back. And he’s not offering help. He’s demanding marriage. With the chilling words, “Marry me, and I will smash every obstacle in your way,” Leo pulls her into a world of luxury, power, and deadly secrets. But can Sophia survive the dark underworld Leo rules? Can love truly bloom in the cracks of fear, obligation, and a past that refuses to stay buried?

What she wanted was to have an ordinary and normal life. But it seems like destiny had written something different and twisted for her. Almene was about to marry the man she loved. It was the day she was looking forward to and what lies for the both of them ahead. Ngunit tila siya binibiro ng tadhana nang maaksidente ang kanyang fiance sa mismong araw ng kanilang kasal. To make things worse, nalulong sa sugal ang kanyang ama mula nang mamatay ang kanyang ina at hinahabaol na ito ng pinagkakautangan at pinagbantaang ipapakulong kapag hindi nabayaran ang kabuuang halaga. Walang nagawa si Almene kundi ang puntahan ang taong pinagkakautangan ng kanyang ama, who turned out to be Lideon Ambrose Martin, a ruthless billionaire and notorious playboy who owns one of the biggest casinos in the metro at siyang may-ari rin ng casinong kinalulungan ng kanyang ama. Nakiusap siya ritong bigyan siya ng kaunting palugit para mabayaran ang utang. She didn’t expect the debt to be ten million pesos though. Sa kabila ng pakiusap niya ay hindi man lang naawa si Lideon sa kanya. Instead, he gave her a proposal – and that is to stage a marriage in paper only – bilang kabayaran sa pagkakautang.

In a world where power is measured by blood and betrayal, I thought love had no place. Then I met Raphael. Ruthless, commanding, and utterly captivating, he dragged me into his dark world, a place where enemies lurk in every shadow and danger is the only constant. But there’s more to my story than the whirlwind romance with a man like Raphael. I’m the last heir of the De Luca family—a legacy I didn’t even know I carried. A legacy cursed by a pact made long before I was born. The more I learn about my family’s past, the more I realize that my connection to Raphael isn’t a coincidence. It’s a ticking time bomb. Martin, Raphael’s greatest enemy, knows who I am. To him, I’m not just a woman. I’m a weapon—a means to destroy everything Raphael has built. As war ignites between them, I uncover secrets about myself I’m not sure I want to face. Supernatural abilities. A curse with a cost too terrible to imagine. And a choice that could save Raphael’s life… or destroy everything we both hold dear. In the end, love may not be enough. But if I have to fight to protect Raphael and break the chains of my family’s curse, then I will. Even if it means losing everything. Including myself.

Il y a eu une altercation à l'hôpital. Un proche du patient a brandi un couteau et, par réflexe, j'ai poussé mon mari Alex Martin pour l'écarter. Mais il m'a saisi la main et m'a placée devant sa camarade d'université. Alors, le coup de couteau m'a transpercé le ventre. Il a tué mon enfant qui venait à peine de se former. Quand mes collègues, en larmes, m'ont transportée vers les soins intensifs, mon mari m'a brutalement tirée hors du brancard. Il a crié d'une voix dure : « Sauvez d'abord ma camarade ! S'il lui arrive quoi que ce soit, je vous renvoie tous ! » Mes collègues, stupéfaits et furieux, ont protesté : « Alex, tu es fou ? Ta camarade n'a qu'une égratignure, c'est ta femme qui est dans un état critique ! » En pressant mon ventre qui saignait sans cesse, j'ai lentement hoché la tête, « Faites comme il le demande. » « Alex, en t'offrant cela, je n'ai plus rien à te devoir. »

“Sin dumme-maranii. Maran dumme-Sinia.” All Sins are humans; all humans are Sins. The king’s curse made it impossible to detect a Sin’s existence. One cannot be born as a Sin and a Sin cannot give birth to a Sin. It cannot be controlled by anyone nor anything. Only fate will determine. The moment all Sins turned to ash, stories and theories about them spread like wild fire. Through the mist of misleading plots and opinions, only a few people truthfully know what really happed at that moment. Twenty years after the king passed, a young man was able to find out that he was a Sin. He claims to be the reincarnation of the late king as he had visions of the past. Relying on his instincts and trusting his visions, he travelled the world in search of Sins like him to resurrect the wrecked honor of the fallen angels. He was able to find some and that’s when the new era of reborn Sins began. The young man became the new king of Sins. Together, they searched for Sins all over the world and began to form a new union that will protect and guide Sins to be able to live alongside humans. The cycle went on until another tragedy occurred which disintegrated the foundations of the union. Twenty years from the present, the king was rumored to be killed by an alliance that were in charge of capturing Sins for experimentation. To this day, Sins are in hiding. Sins try hard to live unnoticed by anyone. My name is Rayne Martin and I am one of them. I am a Sin. ..

One full moon night changed their lives together. “What is that smell?” The man suddenly got close to Kendra’s neck and whispered. He smelt Kendra’s body carefully. He had never smelt this fragrance before. It was not like the smell of rose or lily, but he was attracted. Who was this girl? How did she dare to come here on a full moon night? Wasn’t she afraid of death? The man stared at Kendra and wondered. Kendra moved back in horror, but the man kept coming to her. “Who are you? What are you doing here?” The man's voice came again. When the man opened his mouth to speak, Kendra thought he wanted to eat her alive. “Don’t come here! I…I just happened to come across.” she hurriedly retorted. “What a coincidence!” The man sneered. The next moment, the man rushed to Kendra and pushed her down.
