Monica Gallagher

What's the first thing you'd do if you were reborn? Me? I'd start by divorcing my husband, Finn Gallagher. Yeah, Finn Gallagher, the same man who runs half the underworld from behind closed doors. The Don. The richest man alive. The man women dream about; his face plastered on magazines, named "Sexiest Man Alive" five years in a row. In my last life, I tried everything to make him look at me like I mattered. I married him. I gave birth to his son. I swallowed every ounce of pride, trying to be the perfect wife. However, it didn't work. To him, I was no different than a waitress he might casually tip—forgettable, replaceable, invisible. So this time, I'm not begging. I'm not pretending. I'm handing Madeline Brooks the key to my place in his life, and walking away. She's Finn's first love, and also the shadow that haunted every day of my last life. Now Madeline was sitting opposite to me, blinked at me like she didn't hear me right. "You tried so hard to push me out," she said slowly, eyes narrowed. "Now you want me to be with Finn?" "Yes. That's all I'm asking. Just talk to Finn. Tell him to sign the divorce papers." I looked at her confused face and kept going. "Everyone knows I'm the last person who'd ever let Finn go. So if I say I want a divorce, he won't believe me for a second. But you? You're the one who can make that happen... aren't you?" She laughed, because she was finally getting her chance. I laughed too, because I was finally free.

Rated 18 Read at your own risk Walang ibang nais si Monica kundi ang makaahon sa hirap at buhayin ang kaniyang isang anak na lalaki, na bunga ng one-night stand sa isang estranghero. Kahit anong trabaho pinapasok niya maging ito ay kapit sa patalim. Pinatos niya ang trabaho bilang ispiya ng mafia organization. Subalit sinubok ang kaniyang prinsipyo nang makilala si Federico Sartorre, ang mafia boss na unang target na ibinigay ng kaniyang amo. Si Federico ay isa sa miyembro ng pinakamalaking mafia organization, ang Cosa El Gamma. Bukod sa pamilyar ito sa kaniya at hawig ng kaniyang anak, nakitaan niya ito ng tattoo na katulad sa lalaking nakaniig niya noon sa isang bar sa Japan. Habang nasa puder siya ni Federico bilang maid, hindi lamang trabaho ang kaniyang pakay, kundi ang tuklasin ang misteryo sa pagkatao nito. Ngunit mabilis nahulog ang puso niya sa binata at nag-assume na ito ang ama ng kaniyang anak. Paano kung si Federico nga ang tatay ng kaniyang anak? Susuwayin ba niya ang misyon at piliin ang sigaw ng puso?

When news of my arranged fiancee's death arrived, I didn't cry or make a scene. Instead, I quickly reclaimed her shares and had the death certificate issued. I did it because I've been reborn. In my past life, Dad was worried that women would eye my fortune as the heir to the wealthiest family. So, he arranged for me to marry one of three women he personally picked. I chose the most outstanding one, Monica Harris, and married her. However, just three days after our wedding, she died suddenly. Heartbroken, I was persuaded by the remaining two women to give up on marriage and remain single for life. At 80 years old, when I returned to our special place in Sunmere Valley to reminisce, I saw Monica. She should have been dead for 60 years! She stood beside Liam Rogers, my driver who'd gone missing decades ago, surrounded by their children and grandchildren, living a picture-perfect life. I realized I'd been deceived my entire life. The shock sent my blood pressure soaring, and I died of a stroke on the spot. When I opened my eyes again, I was transported back to the day I died. This time, I'm going to find out exactly how someone who's supposedly dead keeps on living.

Before Grandpa passed, he left behind two things: a billion-dollar fortune and three matches. He said, "Each of you gets to pick one. Renee, you're the oldest, so you go first." I did not hesitate for even a second and chose the fortune. That left my adopted sister, Vera Gallagher, with nothing but three matches. What none of us could have known was that those three matches were no ordinary matches. Each one, when lit, could make any wish come true. Vera resented our parents for favoring me, so she immediately cursed them a terrible death. Sure enough, Dad suddenly suffered a heart attack and died on the spot, and Mom was hit by a speeding semi-truck on her way to the hospital. I grabbed a kitchen knife and went straight to Vera to settle the score. I growled, "Didn't I tell you that once you turned 18, I would split Grandpa's inheritance with you? Our parents opened their home to you and gave you everything I had growing up. All these years, you ate the same food and wore the same clothes as I did. How could you betray them?!" Vera's face was filled with greed. "Since they chose to adopt me, they should have thrown you away and given me all the good things instead! I don't want your handouts. Once you're all dead, the money will be mine anyway!" With that, Vera sneered and lit the second match. "I wish Renee would be trafficked to some remote backwoods town, forced to carry and deliver eight babies at once, and die from complications!" I was horrified. I emptied my savings and hired over 1000 bodyguards to protect me day and night, making sure there was not a single weak spot. However, one night, every single bodyguard suddenly passed out at the same time, and I was kidnapped and sold deep into the mountains. I was tortured, abused, and forced to endure things no person should ever have to survive. I did not know how much time had passed before I finally swallowed my last breath in agony and humiliation. When I opened my eyes again, I had been reborn on the very day the inheritance was divided.

My wife, Heather Conner, secretly steals the funds I've saved up for our daughter, Naomi Hartman's surgery. After that, she books a high-class hotel for Jared Winters, the low-income student she has been sponsoring, just so she can celebrate his birthday with him. When I find out about it, I demand that Heather return all the money to me. But she slaps me immediately and blames me and Naomi for causing her trouble on purpose. "This is the first birthday Jared and I are celebrating together! Since it's such a big day, it's only natural that I hold it in a grand and lavish manner! "Instead, you two insist on undergoing that stupid surgery just when I've booked the hotel instead of scheduling it at any other time! You really are vile! "I've already inquired with the doctor about the surgery. Turns out it's completely optional! I might as well put the money to good use by giving Jared an unforgettable birthday instead of having you waste it on a useless surgery! "Even if Naomi does end up dying, that means she's fated to die anyway! You can't blame anyone for her death!" Heather just abandons Naomi, who's still fighting for her life. She then drives Jared to the hotel, where they spend the night watching a beautiful fireworks display. With 12 critical notices issued by the doctor in my hand, I kneel before Monica Brown, the richest woman in the city. "I'm willing to marry into your family as long as you pay me 35 thousand dollars' worth of wedding gifts!"

Raquel Aguas is the definition of spoiled. Wala siyang inatupag kundi party, shopping, gala, at pagwaldas ng pera ng magulang niya. Wala siyang pakialam sa negosyo, sa future, o kahit sa expectations ng pamilya niya—basta't masaya siya. Pero nang mapuno na ang magulang niya sa kawalang-direksyon niya, tinakot siyang hindi niya makukuha ang mana niya kung hindi siya matutong magpakatao. Dahil sa takot na mawala ang marangyang buhay na nakalaan sa kanya, wala siyang nagawa kundi tanggapin ang kondisyon—ang pumasok sa House of Aguas at tumulong sa kuya niya sa pamamalakad ng kompanya. Sa kasamaang palad, dala lang ni Raquel ang kalat at stress sa opisina. Hindi siya seryoso, laging palpak, at tila ba wala talagang pake. Kaya nagdesisyon ang kuya niyang bigyan siya ng isang project—isang mission na kapag matagumpay niyang nagawa, malaya na siyang bumalik sa dating buhay niya. Kailangan niyang papirmahin ang mayor ng Santa Monica para sa isang malaking proyekto ng House of Aguas Corporation. Sa una'y inakala niyang madali lang iyon. Pero nang makilala niya si Mayor Caelum Argente ay doon siya nagkamali. Guwapo man ito, ngunit masyadong matigas ang prinsipyo. Paulit-ulit siyang binigo at tinanggihan, tila ba sinasadya siyang pahirapan. Habang lumilipas ang mga araw, lalong nawawala ang pasensya niya. Pero dahil desperada siyang matapos ang trabaho at makuha ang kalayaang gusto niya, pilit siyang naghahanap ng paraan para mapasunod ang mayor. Ang hindi niya inaasahan ay ang kondisyong kapalit ng pirma nito—isang kondisyon na hindi pera o pabor ang hinihingi, kundi ang maging sex slave siya nito!
