Marriage

Sa isang mundo kung saan ang pag-ibig ay tila isang laro ng kapangyarihan at pangangailangan, nagkrus ang landas nina Isla Montemayor at Liam Callisto-dalawang taong magkaiba ng mundo pero parehong desperado sa isang bagay. Si Isla, isang matapang at determinadong babae, ay kailangang iligtas ang kanilang naluluging negosyo at ang nag-iisang pamilya niyang natitira—ang kapatid niyang si Lucas na may malubhang sakit. Samantalang si Liam, isang malamig at istriktong CEO, ay nangangailangan ng isang huwad na asawa upang mapanatili ang kanyang posisyon sa Callisto Group at hindi ito mapasakamay ng kanyang tusong madrasta. Dahil sa desperasyon, isang kasunduang kasal ang nagbuklod sa kanila—isang kasunduan na dapat ay walang halong damdamin. Ngunit paano kung ang larong ito ng pagpapanggap ay unti-unting maging totoo? Paano kung sa kabila ng kanilang matinding away, pagkakaiba, at mga lihim, ay matutunan nilang umibig sa isa't isa? Sa gitna ng pagsubok, pagtataksil, at mga hindi inaasahang rebelasyon, matutuklasan nina Isla at Liam na ang tunay na pag-ibig ay hindi isang kasunduan—ito ay isang bagay na lalampas sa kahit anong kontrata. Ngunit sapat ba ang pagmamahal upang talunin ang lahat ng balakid? Isang kwento ng pag-ibig na hindi lang tungkol sa isang kasunduan, kundi sa pagpili ng pagmamahal kahit gaano kahirap. Dahil sa huli, kahit anong pagsubok, ang tunay na pag-ibig ang magtatagumpay.

**They wanted to choose my husband. So I bought one instead.** --- "You'll be meeting your soon-to-be husband at the next family dinner." Aunt Melissa's words hit like poison. I choked, shock stealing my breath. Family dinners at my grandparents' estate were already hell—arguments shattering crystal, curses wrapped in concern, smiles hiding knives. But this? This crossed every line. Who the hell did they think they were, choosing my husband like I was some pawn in their twisted game? *That's never happening.* I built Phias Empire from the wreckage of my inheritance, clawed my way up from the car crash that killed my parents twenty years ago. I survived being trapped underwater, survived my family's hatred, survived my cousin Sophie's lifetime of cruelty—always my shadow, desperate to eclipse me. I didn't survive all that to let them control who I marry. Then I saw him. David Kane. Six-foot-three of devastating perfection, commanding my manufacturing floor like he was born for it. Dark hair, ice-blue eyes, a body that made me forget how to breathe. A contractor. The branch manager's son. Nobody important. *Perfect.* My family wanted to force a husband on me? Fine. I'd bring them one—on my terms. A contract so airtight no one could question it. And God, I wanted him. I couldn't wait to see Sophie's face. Couldn't wait to watch their plans crumble. They forgot who I am. I'm Sophia Ashford. I don't play by their rules. And I'm about to make the most dangerous deal of my life.

After my mate, Drew Bruce, vanished from the pack warzone, I cared for his gravely ill parents in his stead for three years. In the end, he returns with his wolf missing and a young she-wolf by his side. He begs for the Alpha King to break our mate bond. Drew taunts me, "Jenny Watson, your peaceful life in the pack is thanks to my bloodshed on the battlefield. You'll never be someone like Sherry Lowe, an outstanding physiotherapist, who can fight alongside me. "It's a good thing our mind link has disappeared ever since I lost my wolf. Being with Sherry made me realize how dull you are. "You're useless. If it weren't for the Moon Goddess' guidance, you would've never been worthy of being my mate."

When I earn the title of chief field healer with nothing but my own skill, he goes mad with regret.

Aurora Morrison- a 23 yr old kind-hearted, independent, and from a middle-class family. She always had a clear vision of what she wanted in life but her dreams broke when her parents pushed her to marry. Owen Skylar- 29 yr old and the eldest of the four brothers.

He is a free-spirited, athletic college student who is still figuring out where his future is going, but one thing is certain, he's enthusiastic about football.

I chase after Dean Wagner for five years while Graham Ashford chases after me for seven. When Dean marries Emily Caldwell, I finally say yes to being Graham's girlfriend. Graham is over the moon. He treats me like I'm everything to him, like he'd do whatever it takes just to make me happy. But Graham doesn't believe in marriage. Even when our daughter turns four, he still hasn't married me. He won't even let her call him "Dad". One night, I overhear him joking around with his buddies. "Your daughter's already four. You still aren't bringing your wife and kid home to meet your parents?" Graham taps his knuckles on the table and laughs. "You know why I got with Nora and had a kid with her. I just want to make Emily jealous. "Nora's easy to fool. She won't ever leave me, even if I never bring her or the kid home." He thinks he has me all figured out, but he doesn't. I turn and leave without a word, then plan to leave him for good. A man like that doesn't deserve my love. And he sure as well doesn't deserve to be my daughter's father.
