Never Wake The Demon

Ysabelle Andra Guerrero never thought her love life would become a business transaction. As the only daughter and heiress of an airline company, she lived independently— an adrenaline junkie, a traveler, and someone who swore never to open her heart yet but her world turns upside down when her family uses her for a deal: a marriage contract to secure a business partnership. Worst? She must marry Aldrich Evan Lorenzo— the man who left her without any explanation. Aldrich, heir to a well-known travel company, faces his own crisis. With his family’s business on the brink of collapse, he agrees to the arranged marriage, unaware that the bride-to-be is the woman he secretly loved and lost. Bound by a contract with clear terms: 1. End the marriage once the Lorenzo company recovers. 2. Act as a powerful couple in public. 3. No strings attached. Neither of them wants to say “I do,” but both have too much to lose. On their wedding day, chaos strikes when Sarina Fructuoso—a famous dermatologist, crashes the ceremony, claiming she’s pregnant with Aldrich’s child. The revelation stuns everyone, especially Ysabelle but gives Aldrich the benefit of the doubt, suspecting a setup. As they navigate a web of lies, public scrutiny, and hidden feelings, their scripted affection begins to feel real. Behind the staged smiles and cold arrangements, they find themselves drawn back to each other. What started as a contract becomes a fight for something deeper—a second chance at love neither of them expected.

Celestia Quinn Vircacel came from a wealthy family. She had an almost perfect life, not until her father's new girlfriend came into their lives. Since then, her life was controlled and she was deprived of freedom.Her father became strict with her, thanks to the influence of his new woman. But that wasn't the worst part. She learned that her father arranged for her to marry someone she didn't know! She would never live her life being controlled like a robot, and she would never marry a man she did not love, let alone a complete stranger! Thus, she decided to run away. Unfortunately, her father learned about this and stopped her. He made a deal that if she would agree to sign the marriage contract, he would allow her to live her life away from their house; otherwise, she stays and lives with her father's controlling girlfriend for life. The proposition was like choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea, but she had to choose one and she chose freedom. Hence, she blindly signed the marriage contract and left the house. She made her way to a place called ‘Punto Sierra’, and there she met Wayde Amadeus; a strikingly gorgeous man who offered his rented house for her to stay in. His kindness urged her to accept his offer; she stayed and planned for the future. But unbeknownst to her... Wayde was actually not the man she thought him to be.
