Helena Whitmore was never meant to be Adrian Cavendish’s wife. But when her world crumbles, he’s there—with an offer she can’t refuse. A marriage built on necessity. A deal written in ink. But Adrian doesn’t do anything without a reason. And from the moment she steps into his world, she realizes—this was never just business. Because Adrian has secrets. Secrets that make her pulse race and her stomach twist. And the most dangerous part? She’s not sure if she wants to run from him… or straight into his arms.

Six years ago, Betty Cooper thought marrying billionaire Nathaniel Blackwell would be her fairytale ending. Instead, it became her prison. He blames her for ruining his life and for the scandal that cost him the love of his life. She blames herself for still loving a man who only looks at her with hate. “How long will you punish me?” I whisper through clenched teeth. “Six years, Nathaniel… isn’t that enough?” His eyes burn through me as he spits back, “You cost me the most important thing in my life when you drugged me that night, Betty. And I’m going to make sure you lose something just as important before I’m done with you.” But when the truth finally comes out, and Nathaniel realizes he’s been wrong all along, it might already be too late. Because this time, Betty’s not the one begging for love… He is.

Beautiful, headstrong Aria has one rule: never let anyone control her—even if it means risking her family's fortune. But when her inheritance is tied to marriage, she's forced into a deal with a mysterious stranger whose name she barely knows. The twist? He doesn’t show up to the wedding. Instead, a perfectly groomed puppy arrives in his place—wearing a diamond-studded collar and a note: “This is only the beginning.” Thrust into a tangled web of secrets and shadows, Aria finds herself drawn to her unexpected companion—and the deeper mystery behind her vanished husband. With loyalty tested, truths unraveling, and a love story unlike any other, Aria’s journey begins not with a kiss, but with a wagging tail and a trail of clues.

After Father's death, everything falls apart. My stepmother seizes the inheritance and leaves us with nothing. Just when I think we can finally breathe, fate hits us harder—Dongju's accident leaves him clinging to life. With hospital bills piling up, despair becomes my only currency. Then, the President Director makes an offer I can't refuse: money for Dongju's treatment, in exchange for marrying his son, Byun Baekhoon—a man whispered to be gay, and heir to one of the most powerful conglomerates in the country. I sign the contract with trembling hands, thinking it's just a business deal. But Baekhoon isn't who I expected. Behind his cold eyes and calculated words, he hides something darker—something dangerous. And the more I try to survive this marriage, the more it feels like I'm burying myself alive.

When Matthew Sinclair accused me of selling company secrets, I expected my girlfriend to stand by me. Instead, Selena Oxford told me to apologize. To the man who framed me. That was the moment I understood that trust was not something you pleaded for. You either had it, or you did not. I resigned the same day, cut every tie, left a ring on the table that she would never wear, and walked out of her life without looking back. I believed we would never cross paths again. Eight years later, at a black-tie banquet, Selena spotted me across the crowd. I was dancing with another woman, moving through the room as if I belonged there. In front of everyone, now known as a corporate powerhouse, she met my gaze with red-rimmed eyes and asked, "Was it for her? Is that why you left me eight years ago?"

Tatlong taon akong nagtiis sa pagsasama namin ni Gabriel. Akala ko nakalimutan niya na ang tungkol sa kapatid ko pero nagkamali pala ako. Nalaman kong buntis ako, excited akong sabihin sa kaniya ang tungkol dun pero biglang gumuho ang mundo ko ng malaman kong umuwi na pala ng bansa ang kapatid kong si Mia. Ang babaeng totoong minahal ni Gabriel. Sinubukan kong ayusin ang relasyon namin, sinubukan kong iparealize sa kaniya na mahal niya ako pero palagi niya akong pinagtatabuyan. Palaging si Mia ang pinupuntahan at pinipili niyang samahan. Sa pagguho ng mundo ko, si Uncle Asher ang naging sandalan ko.

My husband who hurt and broke my heart into million pieces or his uncle who's messing with my feelings now?

"Do you take Asher Williams as your lawfully wedded husband" the priest asked me I bit my lips and look over to my Dad who had an expressionless face , my step mom glared at me I scoff "yes" He turn to the handsome man by my side, I must admit although I don't want to get married , this man is so handsome with beautiful eyes , thin lips, tall, with abs I drool "and do you take Cheryl Kingsley as your lawfully wedded wife?" I snapped from my thoughts and waited for his reply Part of me hope he would say no and stop the wedding and part of me hope he would say yes "Yes" he replied The priest smiled "you may kiss your bride" He turn to look at me and frown " No" I could hear a chuckle from my step mom "Kissing girls is bad" he said I raise a brow what is wrong with him? An elderly woman rush to the alter and whisper something into his ears He stare at me I was becoming impatient , what a disgrace I held him and force my lips on his I felt a force push me from him I fell hitting my ass on the ground, it didn't hurt much because of the thickness of the wedding gown He pushed me! Me! I wanted to stand up and give him a piece of my mind but looking at the congregation, their mocking smile , I couldn't , I felt so embarrassed thank goodness the only people invited were friends and family But still,all those girls that look at me like an untouchable goddess I felt like crying , I bit my lips and remained on the ground pretending I've lost consciousness and hoping the ground would open up and swallow me

Dalawang taon nang kasal si Faye sa kaniyang asawang si Matheo, ngunit isa lamang kasunduan ang nagbubuklod sa kanilang dalawa. Mayroong lihim si Matheo sa tunay nitong pagkatao, at upang mapagtakpan iyon ay kailangan niyang magpakasal sa isang babae. Si Faye naman ay iniiwasang maipakasal sa lalaking hindi niya mahal kaya pumayag siya sa kasunduang ibinigay sa kaniya ni Matheo. Ang pangako nilang dalawa, hanggang tatlong taon lamang ang kanilang pagsasama. Pagkatapos ng tatlong taon ay maibibigay na ang mana kay Matheo na siyang paghahatian nilang dalawa at mamumuhay silang malaya at masaya. Ngunit paano pa iyon matutupad kung bigla na lamang nawala ang lalaki? Hindi malaman ni Faye kung tinangay ito o napahamak. Hindi niya alam kung saan hahanapin si Matheo. Hanggang sa biglang lumitaw ang kakambal ni Matheo— si Mikhael. Ang lalaking akala niya’y hindi na niya muling makikita. Alam ni Mikhael na nawawala si Matheo at posibleng nasa kapahamakan ang buhay nito. Isang international agent si Mikhael, at nalaman nito na ang pagkawala ni Matheo ay may kinalaman sa sindikatong tinutugis nito. Upang mapalabas ang tootong may sala sa pagkawala ng kapatid, kailangan na magpanggap ni Mikhael bilang si Matheo. At kinakailangan nito ang kooperasyon ni Faye. Ngunit tila hindi lamang ang buhay ni Matheo ang nanganganib sa pagkakataong ito— maging ang puso ni Faye ay nasa panganib na rin. Gayong ang totoo niyang iniibig ang kaniya nang makakasama sa pagpapanggap. Paano niya rin maproprotektahan ang lihim nilang dalawa ni Matheo? Hanggang saan ang pagtatago at pagpapanggap nilang tatlo? Hindi kaya bumalik ang damdamin ni Faye kay Mikhael? O baka si Mikhael ang bigla na lamang mahulog sa kaniyang sister-in-law? How would they protect their heart while fulfilling their duties? How could they deny the temptations?
