Promises We Meant To Keep

Five years of marriage, and I was finally pregnant. I couldn't wait to tell Neil—until I heard his mom say: "When are you going to tell Angela? Cece's already showing. This family needs an heir." "Just give me a little more time. I'll handle it." I froze in the doorway, the ultrasound report burning in my pocket. Neil Schmidt, your promises mean nothing.

When assertive and alpha heiress Clara Ardiente is forced to marry a dominant and cold businessman Damon Barreto, she'll have the almost but quite life. Hindi niya pa nakikilala ang businessman na magsasalba sa kanila. With their empire falling, she is desperate enough to marry that man just to save their name and wealth. Ayaw niyang mawala ang lifestyle na nakasanayan niya. Damon is a ruthless businessman and he doesn't want to have a nosy wife. Everything should be part of agreement and contract. But beneath that contract, there's an unspoken affection he can't recognize... and secrets. Hindi naman totoong pusong bato si Damon. Ang totoo ay nang makita niya si Clara ay nagandahan siya sa dalaga. Talagang pasok sa kanyang tipo kaya niya inalukan ng partnership ang pamilya Ardiente. It was easy for him to get what he wanted. Damon and his ways. Well, not for Clara. Nang makilala niya ang kanyang mapapangasawa, nagdadalawang isip siya kung talagang worth it nga ba ang pakikipagkasundo niya para lang isalba ang kanyang karangyaan. To be the wife of a ruthless business and arrogant tycoon? Medyo dehado ata siya. Pero wala na siyang takas. Lalo na noong ibinigay ni Damon lahat ng gusto ng kanyang mismong pamilya. Lalo na't may kontrata. "Go... run away. But you'll never escape me," bulong ni Damon sa kanya. "Leaving me, abandoning that contract won't save you. Kahit saan ka magpunta, you will always be Mrs. Barreto. My last name will mark you wherever you go." Gusto niyang alisin sa utak niya 'yon at magtrabaho nalang para isalba ang pangalan niya, but it was too late. Hindi na siya makakatakas pa... so she needs to live with only rule; no attachments. No falling in love. Just a contract and promises. Or that was she thought so.

Hindi mapigilan ni Xiomara "Xia" Pineda ang mapapikit sa tuwing naamoy niya ang nakakaakit na pabango ng lalaking ito na gising na gising yata noong magtapon ng magagandang pisikal na katangian ang diyos. Si Liam Blake Bieschel. Kulang na lang ay ibigay na niya ang buong kaluluwa niya rito. Isang hindi mapaliwanag na elektrisidad ang palaging dumadaloy sa kanyang kaibuturan sa tuwing ito ay malapit sa kanya. Kung siya ang tatanungin, isang pitik na lang ay talagang bibigay na siya kay Liam. Pero, hindi iyon maari. Si Liam at siya ay hindi maaring magkaroon ng relasyon na higit pa sa role niya na hanggang pangkama lang. Wala iyon sa kasunduan ng pagiging isang babymaker.

The day Jasper Carter's terminally ill ex, Natalie Klutz, gave birth, his parents—Josephine and Raymond—hired ten bodyguards to keep me, his actual wife, out of the hospital. But I never showed. Josephine clutched Natalie's hand. "She's not getting near you or the baby." Jasper wiped Natalie's forehead. "Relax. Dad's got men at every door. If Emily shows, we'll toss her." Hours passed. Still no me. Jasper finally let himself breathe. He didn't get what my deal was. He was just granting Natalie's dying wish—to be a mom. The second the nurse handed over the crying baby, he smiled like everything was finally worth it. If I came tomorrow and said sorry, he'd forgive me. Hell, he'd even let me raise the kid. What he didn't know? I had just submitted my paperwork. I'd leave the country, join Doctors Without Borders, and ghost him for good.

She's chaos in lipstick. He's order in an Armani suit. They were never meant to mix - and now the office might burn.

But as late-night meetings stretch longer, stolen glances turn bolder, and tension crackles between coffee breaks and deadlines, Sebastian starts breaking all his own rules - especially the one that says he can't fall for a woman like her. A woman who challenges him. A woman who makes him feel. A woman who refuses to lower her voice.

At the annual company party, my boyfriend of three years openly flirted with the beautiful new secretary right in front of everyone. Without hesitation, I kicked him and his family out of my house where they had been freeloading for all this time. Humiliated and angry, he lashed out: "Sarah, this is all because you can't even get pregnant! Three years together and not a single child. If you just accept Amy in our relationship, you can still be the lady of this house!" Later on, his company was investigated for fraud. He ended up in prison, and to top it all off, it turned out the child wasn't even his to begin with.
