Mitch Modern Family

Before heading out on her undercover mission, my daughter Anna Stone left me a farewell letter. My husband, Wayne Stone, who adores her, reads it and immediately posts her photo on Instagram. His caption reads, "I heard Anna's on a mission. Let's see how many drug dens she'll take down this time." Anna's devoted husband, Gabriel Morrison, barely glances at the letter before dropping her exact location online. Anna's twin brother, Casper Stone, has always been inseparable from her. However, after reading the letter, he goes straight to the drug dealers and brings them to her. Anna's cover is blown, the mission fails, and all 37 officers are wiped out without a trace. I collapse in despair, lashing out at them with desperate questions, only to be bound and sent to Mirewick, a notorious criminal den. When I open my eyes again, I find myself back on the day Anna sets out on her mission.

Arranged-marriage sa isang kilalang angkan sa bansa, ang mga Lopelion. Ngunit sa halip na matuwa ay nadismaya pa si Luna Fajardo nang makasal sa huwad na Lopelion. Si Marcus, ang adopted son ng pamilya. Isang warden prison, hindi tanyag at walang pangalan sa lipunan. Sa paanong paraan mapapakinabangan ng pamilya niya ang isang ampon? May mabuti bang maidudulot ang pagpapakasal niya rito? O, kamalasan lamang ang hatid nito sa pamilya at buhay niya?

After I got pregnant, I witnessed my boyfriend's grandmother's death. She left behind a secret, and now, everyone who knows that secret is dead. First, it was my boyfriend's father who died. My boyfriend's mother followed soon after. Lastly, my boyfriend died too. He ended his life by overdosing right before my eyes. The media went wild. They dug obsessively for the truth. Again and again, the police summoned me for questioning. Online hate toward me was overwhelming. Everyone wants to know what the secret is. People claim I cursed my boyfriend's entire family to death, just to keep the secret to myself. I stay silent, never saying a word in defense of myself. On the seventh day after my boyfriend had passed, I spot someone at his funeral. At that moment, I place my hand on my swollen belly. I am utterly calm and at peace. It is time for me and my child to die too.

My parents' enemy kidnaps me and livestreams chopping off my fingers just to force them to show up. For a time, the entire Internet searches for my parents. But what they don't know is that the captain who appeared in the livestream is my biological father. At that moment, he's on a beach in Hashford, setting off magnificent fireworks for his adopted daughter. And on their barbecue table, the livestream of my fingers being severed is playing. Later on, when I survive long enough to be rescued, I reach out my mangled hand to touch my parents. They recoil in disgust and leave without looking back, taking the adopted daughter out for Wersole food. But they don't know that the thing hidden within my mangled palm will make them regret their actions beyond measure.

After the college entrance exams, my parents left me at home and took their adopted daughter on a trip to the beach. A typhoon hit, and the three of them never came back. When the news reached me, I did not cry or throw a tantrum. I had their deaths registered right away and pulled out the life insurance I had bought in advance. I received one hundred million in compensation. My fiance scolded me for caring only about money. What he did not know was that I had been reborn. In my past life, after I learned about their deaths, the huge debts they had left behind fell on me. I gave up the chance to go to college and started working to pay everything back. I fought to protect our ancestral home from debt collectors. My fiance stayed with me and cheered me on when I came home late at night from delivery runs. But he never gave me a single cent to help. At thirty-five, I finally cleared every debt. On my birthday, I bought myself a ten-dollar cake to celebrate. Just as I was about to blow out the candle, the door opened. My parents and their adopted daughter, who should have died in the typhoon, walked in dressed in designer clothes. They smiled at me smugly. “Well done! We can finally believe that you aren’t greedy for money. You’ve passed the test. From today, you are qualified to be the daughter of the Jameson family.” “Jane, this brilliant idea was all thanks to you.” My adopted sister smiled. She leaned close and blew out my candle. The only light left in my twenty years of lifetime went out with it. My body gave in to exhaustion. My heart failed. I collapsed and died on the spot. When I opened my eyes again, they were about to head to the beach in the middle of the typhoon. I bought a massive accident insurance policy for them on the spot. This time, all I wanted was for them to disappear from this world forever.

My husband and I have been married for a decade. When I finally conceive for the first time in ten years, I realize my worst enemies are my family, who all want me dead. I've made a promise to return to the fertility shrine on the mountain and fulfill my vow if things work out, but my mother-in-law deliberately messes up the cable car tickets. In the process of hiking up the mountain for two hours, I lose my baby. In the hospital, I cry to my husband about all the vicious things his mother has done to me, but he kicks me in the stomach. "I had a vasectomy a long time ago. There's no way that bastard inside you is mine!" When he hands me the proof, I'm completely speechless. I break down in tears and run back to my parents' place. Not only do my parents hire a nanny to help take care of me, but they even move out of the house so I can rest in tranquility. When I'm eight months pregnant, I overhear them whispering in the bathroom. "We can never let Gina have the baby. I don't care if it kills her—we're all screwed if the child is born!" "Relax. The doctor already told me that Gina's got leukemia from all the formaldehyde in our new house. Even the baby's deformed!" Shocked, I burst into the bathroom to confront them, but the slippery floor causes me to fall hard. Instantly, blood snakes across the tiles. As I lie there in pain, I look up and see the cold, twisted smiles on my parents' faces before taking my last breath. I cannot fathom why my family wants me dead. I thought they'd been looking forward to his baby for a decade. When I open my eyes again, I return to the very day my mother-in-law insists on taking me to the mountain.

Julianna might have done a lot of wrong things in the past, including breaking someone's heart because she made a mistake of following her heart instead of her head. It all lead to her downfall. But stubborn as she is, she would not stay on the ground. Babangon at babangon si Jules kahit pa ang ibig sabihin niyon ay pagkapit sa taong nasaktan niya noon. Nang muli silang magkita ni Jake ay hindi maiwasang maungkat ang nakaraan nila. She was positive that Jake's still inlove with her and she's determined to take him back. But it was too late, now that Jake's happily married and all. But then again, Jules was pigheaded as fuck. Mapapasakanya si Jake. She will do whatever it takes, regardless of how many people she will hurt in the process. Because Jake is hers. And hers alone.

Sie versteckt sich hinter hässlichen Anzügen und einem falschen Namen. Er hat aufgehört, Frauen zu vertrauen. Seit achtzehn Monaten liefern sie sich bei Taylor Industries erbitterte Machtkämpfe über Übernahmen und Risiken. Für ihn ist sie Joy Smith – die unscheinbare, übervorsichtige CFO mit Perücke und formlosen Polyesteranzügen. Für sie ist er der arrogante CEO mit Gottkomplex. Was keiner von beiden weiß: Nachts begegnen sie sich woanders. Zu Hause ist Honey Johnson die vergessene Ehefrau eines untreuen Anwalts, der sie so lange nicht mehr berührt hat, dass sie beginnt zu glauben, sie sei kaputt. Als sie knallpinke Spitzenunterwäsche in ihrem Sofa findet – definitiv nicht ihre – fühlt sie keinen Herzschmerz. Sondern Erleichterung. Eine Nacht. Mehr will sie nicht. Eine Nacht im Velvet Room, Manhattans exklusivstem Maskenclub, um herauszufinden, ob sie wirklich frigide ist – oder einfach nie von den richtigen Händen berührt wurde. Sie erwartet nicht den maskierten Fremden, der sie vom ersten Moment an für sich beansprucht. Nicht die Chemie, die ihren Körper in Flammen setzt. Nicht die Orgasmen, die sie zittern lassen. Und ganz sicher nicht seine klare Anweisung: „Nur ich. Niemand sonst fasst dich an.“ Tagsüber zerreißen Joy und Grayson sich in Konferenzräumen. Nachts bauen Honey und ihr geheimnisvoller Sir etwas Gefährliches auf – über Nachrichten, Anrufe und geheime Freitage. Sie sagt ihm nicht, dass sie verheiratet ist. Er sagt ihr nicht, dass er Verlobte hat. Doch als ihre Scheidung eskaliert, seine Ex nach Rache greift und ihre getrennten Welten aufeinanderprallen, steht alles auf dem Spiel. Ist das, was sie im Dunkeln haben, stark genug für das Licht? Oder funktioniert es nur, solange sie Masken tragen?
