Pick Up Lo

I'm hospitalized after a car accident that nearly costs me my leg. Meanwhile, my fiancé is too busy in the room next door taking care of his first love. She's only faking a sprained ankle. From that same room, I hear Johan Rivera's mocking voice. "Raelyn? She's just a pawn the old man picked for a political marriage. She's not even good enough to be your stand-in." In that moment, something in me finally breaks. I watch the news coverage of a rising business star who's surrounded by reporters and flashing cameras. He's also my childhood friend who has pursued me for ten years. I calmly send him a message. "Christian, does your offer for a contract marriage still stand?"

After Nathan Seville stands me up for the seventh time we're supposed to register our marriage, I finally cut all ties with him—completely and on my own terms. If he shows up at a gathering, I don't go. If he's invited to perform at the college anniversary, I leave early. The moment my company decides to work with him, I resign on the spot. Even on Christmas Eve, when he shows up at my house with gifts, I make up an excuse about needing to visit someone. Calls? Blocked. Socials? Deleted. My strategy is simple—cut it all off. I don't reach out, and he has no way of finding me. For the first 30 years of my life, I spent most of it loving him with everything I had. I cared for him, supported him, and waited for him. But after being left hanging for the seventh time at the City Hall, I finally wake up. I don't want to live like this anymore. Even if I end up alone, it's still better than spending night after night waiting in an empty house that never feels like home!

I've been pent up for far so long that my hormones are going out of balance. So, I decide to visit a massage parlor that my best friend has recommended to me, hoping that I can completely get rid of the sense of emptiness that's inside me. When the young and well-built masseuse begins caressing me with his scalding palms, I feel the flames of lust burning brighter within me to the point they are about to swallow my rationality whole…

"Let go of your inhibitions. Push your boundaries. Explore your limitations. Take my hand, say yes, and be mine forever!" My name is Annalise Walsh, I live in Los Angeles and I’m working as an advertising executive (an AE) for “S&W Advertising”, a small but fierce agency. My goal right now is to put my hands on a very important account. I’m talking about “HL Sportswear” a new branch of “Hamilton Inc.”, a company that belongs to the sexiest man alive, Lance Hamilton.

"Brielle, will you marry me?" With one knee to the ground, he asked the question that would change her life forever. Running away from her obsessed boyfriend, Brielle starts a new job at the Stones firm but when the CEO of the company asks her to marry him in front of top billionaires in the country, she says yes to avoid embarrassment. Brielle isn't ready for what is coming for her as their marriage turns into a battleground with new findings from her that change how her new husband sees her. Will she overcome this and what role will her poor parents play in all of these?

After I'm abducted, I call my mother, a policewoman, for help. However, she hangs up on me and stays by my adoptive sister's side. "Go to hell if you're so keen on it!" she snaps. I calmly watch as the abductors pluck my nails and torment me until none of my skin is left unharmed. In my past life, my mother actually came to my rescue. She left my adoptive sister by the roadside, and the latter ended up being violated and murdered. From then on, I became a criminal in my mother's eyes. She received an anonymous text on my adoptive sister's death anniversary. "I bet a good girl like you wouldn't want your mother to know you hired us to abduct you, right?" She thought I orchestrated the abduction because I wanted to vie for her attention. She thought that was the cause of my adoptive sister's death. "I've saved people all my life. I never would've expected my flesh and blood to be such a shameless monster! You should go to hell as atonement for killing Charlene!" She sewed my mouth shut, shattered every bone in my body, and threw my ashes into a junkyard. When I open my eyes again, I find myself back to the day my mother makes her choice.

After picking up an unconscious man on the street, I took him home and took care of him in the hope of earning some money as thanks from his family. However, this man lost his memory and did not know what his name was and where he came from. Seeing that he was quite handsome and healthy, I lied that I was his wife and forced him to work with me to make money. The happy life did not last long when I suddenly read an article about him and discovered that he was a famous cold and cruel billionaire. So, that night, I gathered all my clothes and money and ran away because I was afraid he would punish me for deceiving him.

En mi vida pasada, mi hermano y mi prometido se unieron para sabotear mi empresa por mi mejor amiga. Mientras yo yacía bajo la lluvia torrencial después de quebrar, ellos se reían con desprecio junto a ella. —Valentina, ¡qué lástima nos das! —dijeron con burla. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, había regresado tres años atrás, justo a la licitación de proyectos. En mi vida anterior, cuando recién comenzaba mi empresa, tanto mi hermano como mi prometido me advirtieron que no me permitirían aprovechar la influencia de mi familia ni de los Correa, alegando que sería injusto para los demás. Sin embargo, a sus espaldas, le entregaban a mi mejor amiga proyectos que me pertenecían, solo para verla sonreír. Al renacer, observé cómo ambos, igual que en mi vida pasada, manipulaban todo para entregarle mi trabajo a ella. Finalmente, comprendí la situación y me rendí por completo. Cuando se enteraron de que me iría al extranjero, mi hermano y mi prometido lanzaron fuegos artificiales toda la noche, celebrando haberse librado de esta carga que yo representaba. Pero, tres años después, cuando subí al escenario en la licitación de la Corporación Colosal como esposa del presidente, sus ojos se abrieron de par en par por la sorpresa.

Las drogas desaparecieron durante una de las transacciones de nuestra familia, y todos sabían que era culpa de mi media hermana, Emily. Actualmente, nuestros rivales exigían que les enviáramos a alguien para ellos mantenerlo cautivo hasta que se pagara la deuda, por lo que mi prometido y mi familia, estuvieron de acuerdo en que debía ser yo. —Emily ya se lastimó en la misión. Tú eres más fuerte, por tanto, puedes aguantar mientras encontramos una solución —dijo él. Yo sabía que aquel momento llegaría, así que firmé mi nombre. En cinco días, me iban a enviar lejos, por eso decidí que no importaba lo que pasara, si vivía o moría, ya había terminado con mi familia y mi prometido. En esos últimos días, di todo lo que tenía. ¿El casino? Para mi media hermana, que siempre lo había mirado con envidia. ¿Mi cuenta corriente? Para mi padre, que nunca perdía la oportunidad de recordarme lo inútil que era. ¿El anillo de compromiso? De vuelta a ese hombre que era tan falso. Ellos no notaron nada raro, solo sonrieron, contentos por lo atenta que había sido repentinamente. ¿Seguirían sonriendo así cuando se dieran cuenta de que me fui para siempre y de que su frágil Emily sería su perdición? ¿Seguirían estando tan contentos?
