Winter Amey Fox is twenty-three years old and lives in a small town. She was brought up in a religious family along with her six other siblings. Her father is the Mayor of the town and her stepmother is the town supervisor, both so religious and a perfectionist. They are kind and lovely but things got messy when they wanted things in their way. Ever since she was young, Winter wanted to leave her town and move to a big city to pursue her dream except she didn't get the opportunity. She is a stubborn woman and was determined to grasp every opportunity if it meant leaving her hometown. Ethan Knight is a strong, confident businessman who owns a billion-dollar company. He has everything he needs except a fiance who is willing to marry him for a year. Most of the women he dated were either too clingy or horny and always whined for his attention and that is something he hated. When Ethan visits the small town with his co-worker, he crosses paths with Winter, who happens to be the Mayor's daughter and who never acknowledges his presence, which somehow leaves him intrigued. He was determined to make Winter his fiance. Little did he know he was very wrong when it involved Winter Fox.

Stocks, bonds, money mutual funds, lahat iyan ay sisiw sa kan'ya dahil sa galing niya. Pero paano kung hamunin niya ang branch manager nila at ang miyembro rin ng No Mercy, isa sa pinakamaimpluwensiya na gang, na si Kleinder Maze Velasco na paiibigin niya ito sa loob ng anim na buwan para iwan din ito sa huli?

A few weeks before our wedding, Rodney Luther's stepmother, Jessica Flaine, posts a photo on her social media. In the photo, she's wearing the wedding dress I picked out, holding a bouquet of red roses, and shyly leaning toward Rodney, asking for a kiss. The caption reads—"Dreams fulfilled." I don't call Rodney in tears or throw a fit like I used to. I simply like the post and leave a comment. "Screenshot sent to Rodney's father." Not long after, Jessica deletes the post, and Rodney's phone call follows immediately. "Ivana, you're being so petty! The rest of my days belong to you. It's only today that I'm fulfilling a small dream of Jessica's. Hurry up and explain things to my dad! "Come on, be good. I've got a gift for you." A scoff escapes me. "Rodney, do you hear me clearly? Go explain it to your father yourself!"

He killed my brother. I swore I’d make him pay. But now I’m trapped in his penthouse... and I think I’m falling for him. As the youngest son of the Romano mafia, Luca swore vengeance on the man who killed his brother—Damian Moretti, the cold, ruthless billionaire don of the rival Moretti family. But when a failed assassination attempt leaves Luca at Damian’s mercy, he’s not tortured. He’s... kept. And he says Luca belongs to him now.

My husband's brother dies before my husband and I marry. My mother-in-law has never liked me, and my husband is a mommy's boy. He listens to her when she forces him to remain in mourning for his brother—within the next three years, we can only register our marriage but not have a wedding. To help his widowed sister-in-law past these difficult times, my husband runs over to her place every few days, leaving me alone at home. Anyone who isn't in the know would think I'm the widow! My scheming sister-in-law even tells her child to address my husband as their father instead of uncle. I sneer. "How shameless of you to want your brother-in-law to care for two families at once. Thank goodness the child in my womb doesn't have such a disgusting father."

Sandara Vernace is one of the most competent financial managers of Hornbrown Investments. She can handle any kind of investment, whether it is stocks, bonds, or money mutual funds. But, could she handle the tension when she impulsively challenged Kleinder Maze Velasco, their branch manager who is also a member of No Mercy Gang, that she would do anything to make him fall in love with her in six months? Knowing that Kleinder's type is definitely not someone like her? If falling in love was a big challenge for her, how about the time when she is destined to leave him? Will she be able to leave Kleinder once she accomplished her goal? She wanted him to fall in love with her so that she could hurt him in the end, because it is the simplest way to break him… Since it was the only way to unfold the remaining secrets no one has ever known before.

It was hard for Charlotte to let go of her best friend, Dalton, the boy she fell in love with since she was nine years old, to make way for her sister, Caroline, who happens to be in love with him too. It was hard for her but in order to make someone happy, even if it meant sacrificing her own, she was willing to let go. It all happened around her senior year, where she let go of the only thing that mattered to her and after graduation, she moved away with no intention of going back. Four years later, on her college graduation day, her parents rather demanded her to come home with a reason that shocked her senseless.
