Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger

"Let me go! Get your hands off me! Let me go!" I yelled, pushing against him furiously, but instead of releasing me, he slobbered kisses all over my face and I felt as if a worm was crawling on my skin. Suddenly, the door flew open, and facing me, looking at us was my mate - his face a cross between murderous rage and crippling shock. I quickly pushed the stranger away from me and rushed towards my mate. Before I could get to him, however, he stepped backward. "So it's true? So this is really who you are?! You've been cheating on me all this while?" "No, George, listen-" "How dare you defile our relationship and the position you have as Luna of this pack?!" "No-" "I should have listened to my family from the beginning. Should have listened when they told me you were nothing but filth, nothing but a gold digger out for what she can get from anyone!" Betrayed and accused of cheating on her mate, the Luna of Shadow Fangs Pack, Wendy Ashton, pleads with her mate, Alpha King George to believe her innocence. But the evidence was clear, everything pointed that she was indeed guilty. Wendy was brutally rejected and cast away like a worthless piece of trash to a point where she lost the little life growing inside her. Yet, her mate would not budge, he demanded divorce. Wendy has had enough, she decides to give him what he wants and sign the divorce documents. But Just when she was about to engrave her signature on the document, a sudden voice rang in her ears. "Do not sign, Wendy! This isn't the way of the Uktenas. Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!" Her wolf which everyone thought had died, suddenly appeared, its eyes burning red.

Kinakayod ni Ella ang hirap ng pagiging-escort para sa mga utang ng mabisyo niyang nanay. Mula pa bata nang siya ay magsimulang pasukin ang iba't-ibang trabaho dahil sa hirap ng buhay. Isang simpleng babae na walang ibang pinangarap kung hindi ay ang magkaroon ng maganda at payapa na pamumuhay. Ngunit, nang dahil sa isang kasalanan na hindi naman siya ang gumawa ang kaniyang pagbabayaran. Nang dahil sa pagkakahawig nito sa isang gold digger na minamahal ng isang bilyonaryong tao ay tuluyan na nagbago ang takbo ng kaniyang buhay. Gumanda ang kaniyang pamumuhay, wala na ang araw-araw na pagsabak niya sa pagpapasaya sa iba't-ibang lalaki sa bar at kahit hindi ito magtrabaho ay maaari na niyang bilhin at gawin ang lahat ng naisin nito habang, kapalit ng mga ito ay ang pagkakakulong niya sa isang lalaki na minsan man ay hindi niya nakilala o nakita sa tanang buhay. Isang lalaki na sa una pa lang ay pinakitaan na siya ng kasamaan at pagmamalupit. Dito na ba tuluyan mababago ang isang normal at payapang pamumuhay ni Ella? Titingnan na lamang ba niya itong oportunidad para iahon sa hirap ang kaniyang sarili at nanay o mas pipiliin niya pa rin na tumakas sa nakasasakal na kamay at nakasusulasok na pag-uugali nito? Paano niya nga ba magagawa na malulusutan ang problema na hindi naman siya ang gumawa?

The attraction between them is immediate, undeniable, and impossible to resist. What begins as an office affair ignites into something deeper, and for the first time since her world collapsed, Isabella dares to believe in happily ever after. Then she discovers she's pregnant.

Rachel Larson was adamant about marrying me, and she spent ten years stealing my heart. On the night before our wedding, I overheard her conversation with her friend. "You're marrying Leonardo? What about your side piece?" A moment of silence later, Rachel answered, "That guy? He's just a cheap replacement. Leonardo's the real deal. Don't compare my side piece to him. If he stays put and keeps his mouth shut, I might let him stay around. Leonardo's a broad-minded man. He won't mind." The side piece did not stay put. In fact, he caused a scene at the wedding the next day. He shoved me off the stage, but the woman who was supposed to marry me darted over to his side instead. Why? He was holding a piece of broken glass against his throat. Gutturally, he roared, "Choose! Me or him?" Panicked, Rachel kicked me away despite my injuries, and she roared, "Get out of the way! I need to take him to the hospital! If anything happens to him, I'll kill you!" She didn't need to wait that long. My heart died right there and then. … That night, I bought a flight ticket that would take me abroad and left her.

Caleb Larson used to be the most insignificant member among my subordinates. That was, until he blocked a stab meant for me. That blade was 0.4 inches away from plunging right into his heart. After that, I insisted on marrying Caleb regardless of my family's objections. Since then, everyone thinks that I, the spoiled and wilful heiress to a gang, have gotten married out of love. Two years later, however, a woman seeks me out. "Are you Quinn Stewart?" she asks. She waves the gold bracelet that has the initials "CS" engraved on it. "Cal no longer loves you. He tells me that he feels nauseous whenever he sees your face. You'd better pack up and leave the Stewart family if you still have any sense left in you." I blow the steam away from my coffee cup. Not even the woman's pained screams are capable of making me frown in the slightest. But when Caleb personally rushes over and demands to know why I've chosen to beat Selene up to the point her face gets disfigured, my expression changes instantly. "Everything is over between us, Caleb!"

"I'm willing to marry you." Jared Brooks and his brother, Shiloh, turned their heads. Standing before them was a woman in a wedding dress, but this was no ordinary bride. Her gown was stained with dirt and blood, her mascara streaked down her cheeks, and her makeup a ruined mess. Today was supposed to be Julia Watson's wedding day. She was set to marry her fiancé, Carter Ross, until her so-called best friend, Vivien Smith, announced to everyone that she and Carter were expecting a baby—and were in love. Shattered by the betrayal of her fiancé and best friend, Julia was ready to give up. That was until she spotted Jared Brooks, the CEO of Brooks Corporation, at the courthouse. "Who are you?" Jared asked, puzzled by the stranger's proposal. Jared had no intention of marrying a stranger, and even his brother found the idea absurd. He was about to leave when Julia made an irresistible promise: she could cure his brother's legs. "I'm Julia Watson of the Watson family," she introduced herself. Jared assumed Julia sought revenge against her ex-fiancé by marrying him. Little did he know, Julia harbored two dark secrets. First, she had a mission to complete. Second, she wasn't really Julia Watson.

Tatlong taon. Three years of hell. Ganoon katagal tiniis ni Maria ang isang loveless marriage sa piling ni Javier Elizalde. Sa mata ng cold-hearted CEO, isa lang siyang desperadang gold digger na humahadlang sa kaligayahan nito. Pero nagbago ang lahat nang ma-aksidente si Javier. Tragedy struck, leaving the powerful billionaire blind and helpless. Sa panahong tinalikuran siya ng mundo, si Maria ang nanatili. She became his eyes, his hands, and his sole comfort. Sa ilalim ng katahimikan at walang pagpapakilala, inalagaan niya ito. She nursed him back to health, umaasang sa wakas ay matutunaw na ang yelong nakabalot sa puso ng asawa niya. And it worked—he fell in love with her gentle care, promising to cherish the woman who saved him once he recovered. Pero ang akala ni Maria na happy ending, naging bangungot. When Javier finally opened his eyes, he didn't look for her. Instead, he embraced another woman—his first love—believing she was the one who stayed by his side. Wasak na wasak at pagod na sa pagiging option, Maria made the ultimate decision. Ibinigay niya ang kalayaang matagal nang hinihingi ni Javier. She handed him the divorce papers with a final, broken whisper: "You are free now, Javi. And so am I." She left without looking back. Kaya bakit ngayon ay parang asong ulol na naghahabol ang makapangyarihang CEO sa kanyang ex-wife? Bakit siya lumuluhod at nagmamakaawa para sa isang second chance? Sorry, Mr. CEO. The wife you took for granted is dead and gone. And this time? Walang bawian.

After dating him for five years, my boyfriend, Jayden Porter, sends me 10 dollars. He asks me to buy our future matrimonial home with that money. That same day, he transfers 3 million dollars to his dream girl, Lina Doux, to buy her a grand detached villa in Centralis. I decided to break up with him out of frustration, but he accuses me of being greedy for money. "Your house is still livable, so why buy another one? When did you become such a gold digger?" "Lina and I are childhood friends, so what's wrong with me giving her money? "On the other hand, you're scheming to get your hands on my wealth despite us not being married yet. I'm so disappointed in you!" He turns around and proposes to Lina. Six years later, we encounter each other again in the werewolf kingdom based in Centralis—the Darkmoon Kingdom. He's about to become Centralis' Beta. Lina is by his side, wearing a haute couture dress. When he sees me covered in mud and rummaging through trash, he mocks me with disgust, "You looked down on 10 dollars back then, Emily Everhart, but now you're digging through trash cans like a beggar. "Do you think you'll be able to earn money by selling scraps? Even if you put on a sorry act in front of me, I won't show you any pity!" I glance coldly at him and continue to search for my pup's favorite ring. I had unknowingly discarded it like common trash. My pup, Cassidy Holstrom, is incredibly upset about it. As such, I have to find it quickly to cheer her up.

Sa madilim na sulok ng kanyang silid, isinumpa ng isang lalaki ang kanyang kapalaran. Ipinanganak na may birthmark na halos sakop ang kalahati ng kanyang mukha, lumaki siyang iniiwasan ng mga tao—at sa huli, siya na mismo ang lumayo. Ang tanging nagmahal sa kanya ay ang kanyang mga magulang, ngunit kahit ang sariling kapatid ay hindi pa siya nasisilayan. Dahil sa mga pangungutya at pag-iwas ng iba, isinara na niya ang kanyang puso—lalo na pagdating sa mga babae. Hindi na niya hinangad na mahalin o mahalin pa ng iba. Ngunit nagbago ang lahat nang dumating ang isang babaeng katulong sa kanilang bahay. Sa hindi niya maipaliwanag na dahilan, naagaw nito ang kanyang atensyon. May kakaiba rito, at hindi niya mapigilan ang sariling mahulog. Ngunit isang araw, isang lihim na usapan ng kanyang mga magulang at ng babaeng iyon ang kanyang narinig—isang kasunduang pag-aasawa kapalit ng malaking halaga. Isang pagtataksil. Isang panloloko. Sa galit at pagkasuklam, isinumpa niya ang babae. "Gold digger!" Wala itong pinagkaiba sa lahat ng iba pang tao. Mula noon, nagbago ang kanyang pagtingin dito. Hindi na pagmamahal ang nais niyang ipadama—kundi paghihiganti. Pero hanggang kailan niya maitatanggi ang tunay niyang nararamdaman? At totoo nga bang panloloko lang ang naging dahilan ng babae sa paglapit sa kanya? Abangan ang kanilang kwento—isang kasunduang puno ng sakit, galit, at isang pag-ibig na pilit na itinatanggi.
