Saat aku hamil tiga bulan, wanita yang disebut sebagai adik tiri dari suamiku, Ruby, muncul di depan pintuku. Dengan perut buncitnya, Ruby berkata, "Nyonya, karena hari perkiraan kelahiran anakku sudah sangat dekat, aku pikir kamu harus tahu ... pewaris Bos ada di dalam perutku." Ruby meletakkan semuanya di hadapanku mulai dari foto-foto intimnya dengan Kaleb, catatan transfer uang mingguan yang dikirim Kaleb padanya, dan bahkan akta dari sebuah vila. Tanggal paling awal dari semua ini terjadi adalah saat aku kehilangan bayi pertama kami dan dokter berkata aku akan sulit untuk bisa hamil lagi. Selama bertahun-tahun ini, aku terus menjalani program bayi tabung dan berusaha keras untuk bisa mengandung anak kami lagi. Sementara itu, Kaleb malah bermain-main dengan wanita yang disebut sebagai adik tirinya itu. Jika Kaleb memang sangat menginginkan wanita lain, aku akan membiarkannya memiliki wanita itu.

Matinding galit ang naramdaman ni Detective Marga Castro nang mahuli ang sariling ina na may relasyon sa boyfriend niyang si Dominic Mendoza. Para sa kanya, iyon ang pinakamalaking kataksilan na hindi niya kailanman mapapatawad. Sa isang iglap, gumuho ang mundo niya—ang ina niyang pinagkatiwalaan at ang lalaking minahal niya, parehong nagtraydor sa kanya. Umalis siya sa bahay nang walang direksyon, puno ng poot at hinanakit, hanggang sa isang aksidenteng kinasangkutan niya ang nagbago ng lahat. Nasagasaan siya ng isang lalaking kalaunan ay malalaman niyang si Dr. Oliver Mendoza—ang ama ng ex niya. Isang sikat ngunit kilalang malupit na surgeon. Habang nagpapagaling sa bahay ng doktor, naisip ni Marga ang isang mapanganib na plano. Gagantihan niya si Dominic sa pinakamasakit na paraan—sa pamamagitan ng pag-akit sa sariling ama nito. Alam niyang delikado, alam niyang mali, pero sa isip niya, ito ang hustisyang karapat-dapat sa kaniya. Ngunit habang isinasagawa niya ang plano, natuklasan ni Marga ang panig ni Dr. Mendoza na hindi niya inaasahan. Sa likod ng malamig na anyo at mapait na nakaraan, nakita niya ang isang lalaking marunong magmahal at marunong umintindi—isang lalaking unti-unti niyang minahal sa kabila ng lahat ng kasinungalingan. Paghihiganti ang plano, pag-ibig ang naging kapalit. Ipagpatuloy ba ni Marga ang paghihiganti o ipaglalaban ang pag-ibig na hindi kailanman dapat umusbong? Dahil kapag lumabas ang katotohanan, hindi lang puso niya ang mawawasak—pati ang tanging taong natutunan niyang mahalin.

The Space Station was their home. Now, it's their coffin... and the world's most expensive weapon. The International Space Station (ISS), a decades-long monument to human collaboration, has been given a death sentence. In just 60 days, it will be plunged into the deepest, loneliest part of the Pacific Ocean: Point Nemo. Aboard the aging station, Dr. Elara Vance and her crew desperately need 90 more days to complete their life-saving project—a revolutionary cure for the global water crisis. But their pleas are dismissed by the ruthless CEO, Director Cyrus Thorne. Elara discovers the terrifying truth: Thorne isn't just retiring the station; he's weaponizing it. The forced crash is a calculated act of sabotage, set at a catastrophically steep angle to guarantee the total destruction of all evidence, including their project and their crew. Worse, the crash is targeting an impossible, surgically precise coordinate at Point Nemo—the cover-up for a dark, unknown purpose. Faced with this betrayal, Elara and her crew initiate a mutiny, launching the Ghost Orbit protocol to hijack the station and boost its altitude. Thorne immediately retaliates, seizing control from Earth and accelerating the crash sequence to ensure the astronauts die on schedule. In a terrifying, high-stakes battle, the crew fights the forces of Earth while their habitat breaks apart. They fail to save the station, but in a final, harrowing sacrifice, they jettison a heavily reinforced escape pod, surviving the catastrophic plunge. Now stranded, silent, and presumed dead in the remotest corner of the world, these "ghosts" have only one mission left: expose Thorne’s conspiracy and deliver the truth before the secret of Point Nemo is buried forever.
