I was a sketch artist acting for the police. On a secret mission, I was discovered by a murderer. My eyes were gouged out, and my body was dismembered, unceremoniously dumped in a garbage bin. On the brink of death, I called my boyfriend, a criminal investigator. However, he hung up on me because he was busy accompanying his first love to a prenatal checkup. A few days later, he received a painting that was a vital clue to finding the murderer, but he thought I was playing tricks on him. In his anger, he tore that portrait to shreds. After he found out the truth, he spent the whole night searching through the garbage to piece it back together.

Kane Porter was as boring as his name implied. Of all the financial coordinators under me, he was the one least likely to be interesting on an intoxicated evening. Kane was quiet, well-mannered and nobody was friends with him. I was his boss and I got along well with everyone until I came across a problem. The account I'd been skimming from had a good hunk of change missing now. Not good. How could I have it investigated without flagging myself for the ten thousand dollars I'd 'borrowed'? There was only one thing I could do. Porter was a nice guy. He'd help me out. No one could be safer to ask...

The AFA 2020, or the Antonio Facundo Awards, is a competition for journalists like Avery Taylor. It is also often open to writers and directors. They will take a subject, a prevalent person with people, and publish to the public how that person lives. Avery earns the honor of being an exceptional reporter and journalist every year. She won AFA 2019 last year, and he will never relinquish her seat. She will make sure she gets the same award again this year. All she had to do is find someone, a person everyone looked up to with a mysterious identity. Cormac Carter, one of the richest bachelors in the entire Philippines and owns one of the most popular car brands globally — C.C Cars, will be Avery’s target. He’s the gem of the competition. That man already has all the ‘ingredients’ for that, and Avery will not let the opportunity slide. With that desire, she had so much to go through, but Avery never expected that by digging into his past, she would find her past that was buried into her mind for a long time ago. The incident that caused her to be hit by a car and develop amnesia, the incident that made her feel the hardship of the past fifteen years..

No círculo da alta sociedade de Porto Real, todos sabem que o herdeiro da sempre implacável família Santos abriu mão da própria linhagem e até da própria vida por uma mulher. Mais tarde, ele acabou se casando com a mulher que ocupava o centro do seu coração, e a bela história dos dois passou a ser contada entre a alta sociedade. Aquela mulher sou eu. Eu sempre acreditei que seríamos felizes para sempre, até que, certo dia, recebi um vídeo no celular. Na tela, um homem e uma mulher estavam entrelaçados. A respiração contida de Felipe Santos soava pesada pelo alto-falante: — Meu amor, você é tão cheirosa. A mulher fingia resistir enquanto soltava gemidos suaves e provocantes. De imediato, desliguei a tela. No reflexo escuro do celular, vi meu rosto coberto de lágrimas. Felipe e eu estávamos juntos desde a época da faculdade até o altar. Ao longo de quinze anos, permanecemos apaixonados como no início e nos tornamos o casal modelo aos olhos de todos. Mas só eu sabia que o coração de Felipe já havia mudado. Ele tinha se apaixonado pela assistente que eu mesma escolhi para ele. Só que eu não tolero traição. Por isso, no dia do aniversário dele, o presente que lhe dei foi um adeus definitivo.

J'ai toujours eu l'impression que Travis Chancer avait été forcé de m'épouser. Chaque fois que nous étions ensemble la nuit, il préférait utiliser sa main pour me faire jouir plutôt que d'avoir des relations sexuelles avec moi. J'étais de plus en plus déçue et j'ai décidé de divorcer. Mais la veille où j'étais en train de préparer les papiers, je l'ai entendu sur le balcon parler à ses amis. « Mon pote, je ne veux pas être curieux, mais tu vas évidemment mourir d'envie de ça. Pourquoi tu ne la touches pas ? La femme parfaite est juste là. Ça doit être insupportable. » « Les femmes ne supportent pas d'être ignorées. Si tu continues à la refouler, elle finira par s'enfuir avec un autre homme, et tu le regretteras. » Il a pris une gorgée discrète de whisky. « Mais sa peau est si délicate, et sa taille si fine... Elle est tellement sensible. Et si je perdais le contrôle et que je lui faisais peur ? » « Elle est ma femme. Je dois être prudent. Si elle veut trouver du réconfort ailleurs, elle le peut. Tant qu'elle est toujours prête à rentrer à la maison, je continuerai à la gâter. » Ils ont ricané. « Ne fais pas le saint, mon pote. Si tu as du courage, arrête de poster en secret sur Reddit. » Tard dans la nuit, j'ai discrètement ouvert l'historique du navigateur de Travis. Une centaine d'entrées complètes. Il y a écrit : « J'ai enfin épousé la fille que j'aime depuis des années, mais j'ai une libido très élevée. Comment puis-je lui faire en profiter sans laisser de cicatrices psychologiques ? »
