BOOK 1: TIMELESS ONES Ipinangako ni Fritz sa sarili niyang walang ibang babae siyang iaakyat sa dream house niya maliban kay Julia. Ang nag-iisang babaeng minahal at minamahal niya mula pagkabata. Pero nasira ang pangakong iyon nang hingin ng isang malapit na kaibigan na patuluyin niya doon ang isang nangangailangan na sa kalaunan ay napag-alaman niyang si Julia pala. Time is forever for those who love truly. Pero paano mangyayari iyon kung nariyan ang asawa ni Julia na siyang mas may higit na karapatan sa babaeng pinakamamahal niya? BOOK 2: JOURNEY TO FOREVER Nang tanggihan ni Claire ang inialok na kasal ni Lawrence at piliin ang Amerika, nasaktan noon ang binata. Pero nagbago ang ihip nang hangin makalipas ang walong araw ay maganap ang isang malagim na aksidenteng nagbigay daan sa muling pagsasanga ng buhay nina Lawrence at Anya. Ang unang babaeng minahal ng binata, ang unang babaeng pinangarap nito at ang nag-iisang babaeng hindi nawala sa puso nito sa loob ng mahabang panahon. At higit sa lahat ang pinakamamahal ni Lawrence pero minabuti nitong talikuran para sa kapanan ng iba. Pero hindi lang si Anya ang nagbalik sa buhay niya, kundi maging si Claire. Si Claire na mas nanaisin pang mawala nalang ang binata bago ito mapunta sa iba. BOOK 3: UNBROKEN VOW Bata pa si Sara nang una itong masilayan ni Benjamin. Pero nagkaroon na ito ng espesyal na parte sa kanyang puso. At masasabi niyang puso niya mismo ang nag-alaga ng bahaging iyon kaya hindi niya iyon nagawang ibigay sa iba. Ang isang tunay at wagas na pagmamahal ay walang pinipiling panahon o edad, minsan kailangan lang maghintay. Pero anong katiyakan ni Benjamin na hindi mahuhulog sa iba at babalik sa kanya ang dalaga kung ang tanging pinanghahawakan niya ay isang pangakong kung tutuusi'y posible ring masira?

To afford train tickets home for New Year's Eve, I searched for a part-time job and stumbled into a livestream that was practically throwing money at the chat. A young woman in a silk robe rested her chin on her hand. Behind her, a villa glowed under expensive lighting that reflected off polished marble floors. "Being kept in here is suffocating," she said in a voice that mixed boredom with sweetness. "My sponsor gives me more money than I can spend. Help me out. Take some off my hands." Cash drops flashed across the screen one after another. I tapped as fast as I could, my heart hammering. A few large ones landed in my account. I was close. One more would cover both my ticket and my boyfriend's. The streamer leaned closer to the camera. "He keeps saying my tear mole looks like his girlfriend's," she said, her mouth twisting with disgust. "So unlucky. Of all things, I had to match with some broke girl." My finger slipped. I had a tear mole under my eye in the same spot. The live chat flooded with questions. [How is the sponsor's girlfriend broke?] The streamer gave a short snort and reapplied her lipstick, as if correcting a minor flaw. "He's just messing around. He tricked her into 200,000 dollars in debt. She's so stupid she works multiple jobs to help him pay it off." A chill settled in my chest. My boyfriend also owed 200,000 dollars. She continued, her tone light, "The funniest part? He slept with me for three days. When he left, I asked if he was giving her a taste of honey." She smiled cruelly. "He said all he has to do is claim he's going to work a construction site hauling rebar. The idiot will feel guilty and deliver food all night. So he won't need to please her." Another large cash drop flashed across the screen. The total reached the exact amount I needed. My phone rang. Benjamin's name lit up the display. When I answered, his voice sounded worn down, as if it had scraped against concrete. "Via, we still don't have enough for the tickets," he said. "I hauled rebar and made a little over 40 dollars. I'm heading home now."

« Qu'est-ce que… tu fais ? » demanda Celeste d'une voix tremblante mais douce, comme si elle était au bord des larmes. « Qu'en penses-tu, ma petite ange ? » Malakai inclina la tête, ses yeux sombres se plissant, tandis que sa grande main caressait chaque tache de rousseur de son visage. « Voilà comment je montre à tout le monde à qui tu appartiens. En d'autres termes, je te revendique, ma chère épouse, et ici, point de salut, seulement la damnation. » ***************** Celeste Ronan devait épouser le benjamin des frères Valtor. L'amour de sa vie, mais quelques jours avant le mariage, elle le surprit en train de murmurer des mots doux à l'oreille de sa sœur aînée, tandis qu'elle le chevauchait. Fragilité et fille de la famille Ronan, elle fut rejetée, impuissante, tandis que son ex-fiancé épousait sa sœur aînée. Un verre d'alcool était censé l'aider à noyer son chagrin et à se complaire dans son désespoir, mais il n'en fut rien. Sa résistance à l'alcool ne fit pas le poids, et elle finit dans les bras de l'aîné des frères Valtor, Malakai Valtor. Celui qui portait une cicatrice, le milliardaire impitoyable et froid qui piétinait rois et ministres. Il n'était pas un sauveur, mais un démon dans un costume Alexander Amosu sur mesure. Céleste cherchait désespérément à fuir la réalité. Elle signa donc un contrat de mariage et devint officiellement sienne. À lui. À lui de la briser. À lui de la damner. Malakai Valtor est d'une avidité sans bornes. Il n'est pas question de partager sa jeune épouse innocente, qui cherche refuge dans son enfer, ni sa multinationale valant des milliards. Ni avec son frère, ni avec personne d'autre.

Tak menunjukkan kegugupan. "Haha. Selama gairahmu masih menginginkanku untuk memuaskanmu." Sarla membeliak kaget. "Apa katamu?" "Kau suka bukan? Apa pun yang menyenangkan hatimu akan aku lakukan, Sayang." Sarla kian membelalakan mata. Tambah kesal juga akan ucapan Wilzton yang baginya penghinaan.

I fall in love with my father's friend, an Alpha 20 years my senior. I'm only eight when I first meet him. It happens at a banquet for the upper echelons of the werewolf pack. My father brings me with him. Layson Romanov instantly catches my eye. He stands tall at six feet and two inches, and his toned figure shows through his black suit. He exudes a natural dominance. My father introduces me to him, and he caresses my hair with a smile. Then, he gives me a pink dress adorned with pearls and pink diamonds. "You'll look beautiful when you're old enough to wear this." Back then, I didn't understand what he meant. … Ten years later, I put on that dress and enter his room. He's drugged after falling into someone's trap, and his wolf is out of control. His usually calm eyes are filled with mania. I know that he'll go insane—even lose his life—if he doesn't have an antidote. So, I give him my pure, untainted body. I become his antidote. We later marry, and he loves me as my father would've done. However, when I'm four months pregnant, I discover that his personal secretary, Grace Parker, is also pregnant. "I'm sorry to have put you through this, Grace. Everyone knows I only married Charlotte out of duty. I'll make sure our child is my only heir," he says. It all makes sense now—no wonder Layson refused to mark me despite us being married. Grace is the one he loves. I'm heartbroken. I ingest a large amount of wolfsbane, leading to a miscarriage. I ultimately die of blood loss. Intense regret washes over me as I breathe my last breath. When I open my eyes again, I find that I've been reborn. I'm taken back to the day Layson is drugged…
