Andrea Silva wurde gezwungen, den vermeintlichen Freund ihrer Zwillingsschwester Camila zu heiraten, nachdem diese von zu Hause davongelaufen war. Andrea war am Boden zerstört, als sie erfuhr, dass der Mann, den sie gerade geheiratet hatte, in ihre Schwester verliebt war – sie war nur eine provisorische Lösung gewesen, bis Camila zurückkehrte. Andrea glaubte, Damine Fel für sich gewinnen zu können. Doch was würde geschehen, wenn ihre Schwester zurückkäme und ihren Freund zurückhaben wollte?

Ich hieß Alaya, und ich war nichts weiter als ein Mädchen wie viele andere, geboren in den Gassen eines Viertels, in dem die Armut dich von Geburt an vergiftet. Meine Mutter war krank. Sie hatte nur mich … und ihre Schulden. An jenem Abend kamen sie. Sie klopften an die Tür. Drei Männer in Schwarz. Kein Wort. Nur ein Umschlag … und ein eiskalter Satz: — »Du bist doch noch Jungfrau, oder? Der Chef zahlt teuer dafür.« Ich hatte keine Wahl. Er hieß Santino Ricci. Kalt. Magnetisch. Gefährlich. Das Oberhaupt einer der mächtigsten Mafiafamilien Italiens. Er sah mich an, wie man eine kostbare Ware ansieht. Dann sagte er: — »Du wirst meine Frau. Egal, was du fühlst.« Und ich unterschrieb mein Urteil. Diese Hochzeit war keine Verbindung … sondern ein goldener Käfig. Ich lernte, inmitten von Schlangen zu überleben. Ich sah Tote. Ich sah Blut. Ich hörte die Schreie von Mädchen, die, genau wie ich, verkauft worden waren. Aber was sie nicht bedacht hatten … war, dass die kleine, zerbrochene Jungfrau am Ende zurückbeißen würde.

Over five years I’ve lived a bittersweet lie as David Hargrove’s kept woman, Maria Bell. David’s shown no interest in me beyond what he wants. Love’s a bitter pill to love when it's not returned. I'm bought and paid for. Kept in a gilded cage. David suspects nothing of the secrets I hold. Tonight, David announced he’s marrying my stepsister. He doesn’t know. The level of betrayal I’ve experienced is unbelievable. Everything becomes complicated as the lies surface. Leaving and facing it alone are my only choices. I’m living in fear as I pick up pieces of a life, I believed lost. Blackmail, sabotage, and intrigue dog my steps. I don’t know who I can trust or how to win. I won’t surrender without a fight this time. They don’t recognize me. They won’t see me coming. My name is David Hargrove, and someone is trying to destroy my family. I must marry my rival’s daughter. His stepdaughter signed the contract. Before we learned, she couldn’t deliver the Belgrave empire to me. She can help me secure my family’s empire as my fiancée. I need the ugly biological daughter, Maria Belgrave, who’s hiding. Things get confusing. Maria Belgrave sent two women to represent her. One is my Maria. My missing woman. The betrayal and conflict of interest still stand. I will say when our contract has ended. How can I work with her? I know nothing about her. She owes me answers and loyalty. Perhaps I’ll use this to my advantage. When David learns of Maria’s past life. Will he help her? Or use her and take over the business himself? It starts with an engagement and the death of a patriarch.

I hadn't seen my mafia husband, Luca Moretti, and our daughter Dora in three whole months. Why? Because his mother, Fiona, said Dora should stay with her "for a while." And Luca? He was "too busy with business," as always. So when Luca finally called and said he was going to pick me up for a family reunion at the villa, I was overjoyed. I thought maybe, just maybe, I'd finally get to hold my little girl again. I spent the whole damn day running around the city, buying her favorite dolls, snacks, a new pink dress, anything I thought would make her smile at me again. But when the car arrived, it wasn't what I imagined. Before I could even say Hi, Dora turned her head, took one look at me… and then wrapped her arms even tighter around Maria, the maid. She buried her face in Maria's neck like I wasn't even there. Like Maria was her mom. I tried to approach her, but Dora straight-up told me she didn't want to ride in the same car as me. And Maria, wearing that fake, polite smile, kept trying to gently talk me into giving Dora "a little more time." I looked over at Luca, hoping he'd step in. Instead, he just looked annoyed, like he couldn't be bothered to lift a finger to help fix things between me and our daughter. Clearly, they didn't want me there. So what was the point of trying to join the ride? I stepped back from the SUV. Then Luca just turned to me and said, "Just wait here. I won't be long." What he'll never understand is… I'm done waiting for him.

"Palagi na lang kasi akong nari-reject kapag nagpapasa ako ng libro ko sa Good Nobela at hindi ako pwedeng ma-reject this year. Alam mo namang may usapan kami ng Daddy. Hindi na niya ako pipilitin na mag-masteral kapag may naipasa akong libro. Eh, lagi akong nari-reject dahil nga ang mga sinusulat ko raw ay walang kilig. Kailangan daw mag-focus ako sa nararamdaman ng bida kapag nandyan ang mahal niya." -- Jornaliza Smith Ang nais lang naman ni Jornaliza Smith ay maging sikat na manunulat kaya nagpaturo siya sa bestfriend niyang si Luigi Chances kung paanong maging ‘manyak’. Kahit kasi kahit 23 years old na siya hindi pa siya nakaranas ng first kiss. So, paano pa niya mailalarawan kung paanong umakyat sa ikapitong glorya? On going na ang 'erotic session' nila ni Luigi ng biglang bumukas ang pintuan ng kanyang kuwarto at nakita sila ng kanyang Daddy na saksakan ng konserbatibo. Kaya, wala sa oras na napamartsa si Jornaliza sa harap ng altar. Shucks, ang nais lang niya ay maging sikat na manunulat, paano niya gagampanan ang papel bilang asawa kung wala namang spark sa pagitan nila ni Luigi? Eh, bakit parang may dumadaloy na milyun-milyong boltahe ng kuryente sa kanyang katawan kapag hinahalikan siya ng bestfriend niya?
