In a world where Omegas are bought, sold, and treated as slaves, Arwenna learned early what survival meant... what it entails and what it should be. Sold by her aunt at the age of sixteen, Arwenna was married off to an old man to pay the debts her aunt owed. A mere Omega was not cared for by the clan nor the Alpha... It never really mattered if they survived or not. Years later, she was blamed for the death of the same man she was forcefully married to. And now she was to be sold... dragged back to the same clan, to the same guardian who sold her off like a commodity; she was thrown back to everything she once escaped but now as nothing but the slave she always has been. Time flew by like a curse that came to haunt, sticking to her like glue. She lost her wolf... lost. She never got her wolf, only to realize during the mating season that she doesn't have a mate. "The Moon Goddess is so shrewd," she cried out, with emotions that have been bottled up for years. Nothing seems to be working, and now her aunt gives her away... No, she sells her again to the palace as a 'Dwangi,' a slave specially to keep the Alpha sane before finding his mate. She agreed. What's the purpose when she's like a useless paper plate that doesn't serve any purpose other than to be used and discarded? But what she doesn't know is that her story just begins.",

Zoe Oliver had been mistreated all her life ever since she got married to the billionaire family of the Meyers. She was used, abused, and miserable because they didn't see any good in her, and treated her worse than their maids because they felt that she was not deserving of her husband. She was crumbled and broken because she decided to love the only person she thought would give her a new life. Malcolm Meyer, her husband, couldn't care any better for his wife, and let his family do whatever they wanted to her because he didn't love her. One sudden night, he dropped a divorce paper before her eyes and told her to sign it so that she could get out of his life for good. "I do not want your alimony!" She spat at him with anger. Everyone thought she was crazy to have refused millions as alimony to compensate for her miserable life. Through the spotlight in the gathering of elites, a lady emerged and sauntered through the crowd in million of dollars worth dress, and heels. She held everyone in a collective gasp as she smiled charmingly and was introduced as the Multi-Billionaire heiress. Everyone could not believe their eyes. The Meyer family almost lost their minds. Now, she would make everyone in the Meyers pay in double and triple folds for every hell and torment they made her go through. Zoe Oliver was back to rule!

She gave him three years. He gave everything to someone else. Matapos ang tatlong taon na walang saysay na kasal, pinili ni Aella Ramirez na tapusin ang pagiging asawa ni Theodore Larson—ang kilalang malamig at sikat na CEO ng multi-billion e-commerce business—sa kadahilanan palagi nitong inuuna ang first love nito kaysa sa pamilya nito. Iniiwan siya sa mga mahahalagang okasyon ng kanilang pamilya gaya ng libing ng lola nito, isinasantabi rin siya sa kanyang trabaho at kinalimutan ang kanilang wedding anniversary. Sa huli ay binato niya sa mukha nito ang annulment paper bago iniwan kasama ang anak nila. Sa halip na masaktan ay muli siyang bumangon. Ibinalik niya ang dating negosyo na di kalaunan ay kumita ng bilyon-bilyon at nagtagumapay rin siya sa iba't ibang larangan. Ngunit, ang lalaking tumalikod sa kanya ay biglang nagsisi at nagmamakaawa na bumalik siya. Handa ba siyang balikan ito, lalo na‘t dumating si Matthias Sullivan—ang makapangyarihan at mapang-akit na kasosyo niya na handa siyang ipaglaban? Sino ba ang pipiliin niya—ang nakaraan o ang lalaking kailanman ay ‘di siya bibitawan?

THE GREEN TEMPTATION SERIES #1 —Slander Vlustero "You won't escape from me, not again." napaigtad ako nang marinig ko ang pamilyar na boses. Hindi ako kumibo. Sinundan ko lang ng tingin ang kanyang ginagawa. Lumapit ito sa akin at inilapag ang isang paper bag. "What's your answer?" napatitig ako sakanya. Yung titig na kinasusuklaman ko sya. Gusto ko syang pagmumurahin at patayin. "Hindi ko kailangan mamili dahil makakalabas ako dito." matapang na sagot ko. "Really?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong nito sa akin. Taas nuo ko naman syang tiningnan. "Oo, at hinding hindi ako mahuhulog sayo, gago. Itaga mo yan sa bato, kumulubot man yang pagmumukha mo." narinig ko itong tumawa. "Did you see the outside of this room?" umiling ako. Alam ko imposibleng makalabas dito palang sa loob ng kwarto paano pa kaya sa labas. "Wala akong pakialam kung kamatayan ang nasa labas, ang mahalaga makatakas ako. Hindi ko masisikmura ang mga pinaggagawa mo." sa totoo lang kauti lang talaga ang tiyansa na makatakas ako rito. Pero susubukan ko. How can I escape from someone like him? Can I really escape from him even if I escaped from here?

"Are you sure you can get out of this trap, Arka? The trap you created for yourself long ago." The sentence haunted Arka's mind every time he looked at the woman who was now sitting gracefully on his lap. Amidst the glimmer of crystal lamps and the sheen of a gold dress, his ex-wife, Kania, looked like a queen who had just reclaimed her throne. Arka knew they were no longer bound by a sacred vow. Their divorce was final, signed on stamped paper years ago. Yet, in this private room, with the aroma of whiskey and Kania's challenging gaze, Arka once again became the helpless, foolish man. Tonight was supposed to be the celebration of his new engagement. He was supposed to be celebrating a new chapter. But Kania's presence in the private lounge, in a high-slit dress that showed off her long legs, had ruined everything. "You didn't have to come, Kania," Arka hissed, his voice choked. Kania smiled cynically, caressing Arka's jaw with her cold fingers. "You're right, darling. I didn't have to come. But I had to make sure of one thing: that your heart... still belongs to me, just like before." It turned out that getting out of the marriage was much easier than getting out of his ex-wife's love. Will Arka continue his engagement? Or will he return to his ex-wife?

LUCILLE thought it would be her engagement evening, not knowing it was the night she was going to realize she had kept foes as friends. Her boyfriend betrayed her with her best friend but she never let it affect her. Instead, she slapped them in their faces by getting married to RAMSEY ROWE, her ex's cousin and a zillionaire. It started as a marriage of convenience and they were not meant to fall in love with each other. *. *. * "It's simple. Marry me till I am awarded the contract," Ramsey's cold voice sounded. Void of emotions. "No. I want a real marriage with you," Lucille rejected his first offer, piercing her gaze into his. The tough man in front of her was powerful, rich, and had all the connections she needed to avenge the betrayal from her ex-boyfriend and ex-best friend. Why would she miss the opportunity? Ramsey cracked up, kneading his brows. Silence overwhelmed the atmosphere and he leaned his mouth forehead, "You can't get what you want, Lucille. We are only bound by a fake paper," Lucille also chuckled and tilted her head backward, "I will make you fall in love with me," Determination filled her eyes. She wasn't going to lose this man to anybody. Will she be able to make his heart beat for her? What would they do when they realize their feelings are growing and they cannot do without one another? In the midst of many villains, will their love bloom or die?

I was ten years old when I lost my hearing saving Adrian Falcone's life. After that, I couldn't survive without my hearing aids. He held my hand afterward, his eyes red-rimmed with guilt, and made me a promise in front of his entire family. "Serena Lombardi, I'll protect you with my life," he said. "I'll marry you." But when I turned eighteen, everything changed. Adrian needed to pass some test set by Daniela Moretti—the daughter of a rival family—and he chose the cruelest way to prove himself. He ripped the hearing aids from my ears in front of everyone and laughed. "You're just a deaf, useless burden," he said, his voice cold and cutting. "I've been sick of you for years. Honestly? I wish you'd died in that explosion when we were ten and saved me the trouble." I gripped the rehabilitation report the doctor had just handed me, and my fingers crushed the paper's edges. The diagnosis was precise—my hearing had fully recovered. That night, I burned my hearing aids and convinced my parents to cut all ties with the Falcone family. Adrian Falcone, we're done. Whatever we had, whatever you owed me—it's over now.

Bagi dunia, aku adalah Nyonya Wardana, ratu tak tersentuh di sisi sang raja mafia Newara, Elias Wardana. Namun, aku tahu suamiku tidak pernah mencintaiku. Hatinya selalu menjadi milik Harvana Diansyah. Istri dari keponakannya. Setelah keponakannya itu "kebetulan" meninggal, Elias membawanya masuk ke dalam rumah besar kami. "Aku hanya ingin merawatnya dengan lebih baik," katanya. Versi "merawat" menurutnya adalah mengusir seorang pria dari pesta hanya karena berani menggoda Harvana, lalu membuatnya hamil. Elias senang memujiku di depan umum, seolah aku adalah istri sempurna baginya. Aku memang begitu. Aku membantu membangun kerajaannya. Akulah yang tersenyum dan bersikap ramah. Aku membuat kasino miliknya bersinar, sementara dia menyembunyikan Harvana seakan perempuan itu sesuatu yang suci. Karena semua pujian itu, salah satu musuhnya menjadikanku sasaran. Mereka menculikku. Mengirimkan pesan penuh darah dan ancaman kepada Elias. [ Menjauhlah. Tinggalkan Newara. Atau istrimu yang cantik bakal mati. ] Tentu saja, Elias tak memilih untuk mundur. "Tunggu saja," katanya lewat telepon. "Mereka nggak akan menyakitimu, Noelle. Kamu itu sandera. Bertahanlah sampai Harvana melahirkan. Lalu aku akan datang menjemputmu."

Pulang, hanya untuk menemukan anak kembarku tidur di kamar pembantu, makan sisa-sisa makanan, sementara Elias terlalu sibuk mengadakan pesta untuk bayi barunya. Aku tidak mencarinya. Aku hanya membawa anak-anakku dan menghilang.
