Victor Santos ingeriu acidentalmente um novo tipo de alucinógeno e seu estado era crítico. Como médica da família, fui forçada a me tornar o antídoto. Por ser naturalmente fértil, engravidei de primeira. Depois de me casar com ele, dei à luz a dois gêmeos, um menino e uma menina, ambos inteligentes e adoráveis. Mas, após o casamento, Victor não permitia que as crianças o chamassem de pai, e passava os dias abraçado à foto de sua amada falecida, afogando-se em bebidas. No décimo ano de casamento, ele ateou fogo em mim e nas crianças, e nos queimou vivos no porão. Afinal, durante todos esses anos, Victor guardava ressentimento por eu tê-lo "salvado". Ele sempre acreditou que me aproveitei da sua vulnerabilidade para me aproximar e subir na vida, o que acabou destruindo o relacionamento dele com a mulher que amava. Ela, abalada, sofreu um acidente de carro e morreu. Ao abrir os olhos novamente, descobri que voltei para o dia em que ele ingeriu acidentalmente o alucinógeno.

Houve uma confusão no hospital quando o familiar de um paciente começou a levantar uma faca. Instintivamente, tentei empurrar meu marido, Dr. Ricardo Lourenço, para longe. Mas, ele agarrou minha mão e me colocou na frente da sua protegida, Camila Xavier. Aquela facada entrou no meu abdômen, matandoo bebê que acabava de se formar. Quando meus colegas me encaminharam às pressas para a UTI, chorando, Ricardo me arrancou da maca. — Salvem a Camila primeiro! — Ele berrou. — Se acontecer qualquer coisa com ela, eu demito todo mundo! Os médicos ficaram chocados e furiosos: — Dr. Ricardo, você enlouqueceu? A Camila só teve um corte superficial. Sua esposa está em estado grave! Eu toquei meu ventre que sangrava sem parar e assenti devagar: — Deixe como está. Estamos quites, Ricardo.

In order to take care of my father, who got hurt from a fall, I gave up on my chance to get promoted and even took a week's leave. On the day he gets discharged from the hospital, my dad hands me a mysterious envelope with a wide smile on his face. "Thank you for your trouble over the past few days, Luther. This is a little token of appreciation from me. You can buy yourself a nice pack of smokes." I rub my hands together, feeling warmth surging into my heart. But when I open the envelope, all I see is seven dollars. Still, I comfort myself in thinking that the sum isn't important at all. It's the thought that counts, after all. But the next day, I come across a social media post of my younger brother, Felix Grayson, who never showed his face around the hospital during Dad's hospitalization. It features a photo collage of a luxurious villa, with a photo of the purchasing contract smack dab in the middle of collage. The caption writes, "I bought the top-tier riverside villa for seven million dollars! Thank you so much for your support, Dad!"

The newly hired genius programmer was a proud woman who always thought she could turn the entire industry on its head. When an investor tried to pressure her into drinking, she flipped the table and slapped him across the face. "My worth is in my programming skills, not my ability to network. Asking me to drink with you is an insult." Enraged, Clint Warner immediately withdrew the eighty-million investment agreement. He even swore he would never work with us again. As the Head of Product, I scrambled to apologize. The situation was only salvaged after I drank so much that I ended up hospitalized. … Later, I complained to the boss and demanded that he discipline the new hire. To my shock, he dismissed the matter. "If the employee causes any problem, it's because the supervisor failed in their duty. The promised million-dollar dividend bonus is cancelled. Take this as your warning." Fed up, I wrote down Mary Hansen's name on the Counseling-Out List. She couldn't care less. "I have abilities you’ll never match, unlike a scheming bootlicker like you. If anyone tries to go after me, the project will be halted. Don't come crying to me when everything collapses." I did not argue with her then. However, when the Counseling-Out List was announced, I found my own name on it. The boss claimed it was a mistake to force me to leave. Then he promoted Mary to my position and even granted her the authority of a vice president. "You were only great because of the company's support. Mary's not the same. She's young and truly talented. She’ll lead us to greater heights." With a cold smirk on my face, I made my way to our competitor, taking the crucial piece of our company's technology with me.

Some lines aren't meant to be crossed. We cross them anyway. A struggling artist signs a contract to become a billionaire's live-in muse, in exchange for her to surrender her body, and even her soul. A college student watches his best friend's father through the window. The father watches back. And puts on a show. A therapist knows every trigger point of his patient's body. Late-night sessions become something far less professional. A man confesses his darkest desires to a priest who's bound by vows to only listen. The priest's restraint shatters. A photographer's lens captures more than boudoir photos. Eventually, he puts down the camera. Two stepbrothers' best friends steal moments in a house full of people who can't know. The risk makes it hotter. A student loses a dare and brings a vibrator to her strictest professor's class. He hacks it. Control it and own her. Two rival lawyers hate each other in court. In hotel rooms, they work out their aggression the only way that satisfies. This isn't romance. This is an obsession collection not for the faint hearted. GET WET. GET WILD. GET LOST IN THE FORBIDDEN.
