Lark Fletcher has a rule: never fuck the same woman twice. But when he met Delaney Deo at a nightclub and shared a one-night stand, Lark found himself breaking his own rule.

In the fifth month of my pregnancy, my husband brought back his first love, who was eight months pregnant and causing a stir about getting a divorce. I politely told him that pregnant women would influence each other, which wasn’t good for the child. Alex, however, smashed a water glass and said in disgust, "Sarah is depressed because of the divorce, and the only one she can rely on is me! Do you want her to die?" I felt nauseous and vomited, unable to sleep through the night, and my health worsened with each passing day. To make her happy, he filled the house with lilies. But he had forgotten that I was allergic to lilies and locked me in the room, saying, "Let’s see if you can get an allergic reaction if you can’t smell the lilies." I bled continuously, desperately calling him for help for both myself and the child, but he simply said that I was still early in the pregnancy and there wouldn’t be any problems. When the fetal movements stopped, I had completely given up. It was at that moment that he frantically pushed open the door.

"Walaupun saya masih hidup, awak boleh berkahwin dengan orang lain, kan?" Hanzalah berpaling ke belakang, memandang Khadeeja yang tegak berdiri merenungnya tanpa segarit senyuman. Cuba memahami ayat yang diluahkan isterinya itu. "Tapi... kalau saya nak kahwin dengan orang lain, awak kena mati dulu... kan?" Tenang Khadeeja bersuara dengan mata yang terkedip lemah. Nafas perlahan terhembus di antara dua bibir yang terbuka sedikit. Hanzalah menelan air liur apabila tekak terasa kering. Matanya menangkap pemutar skru yang dicari sedari tadi, kini digenggam erat di tangan Khadeeja. _______________________________________ Kejadian misteri yang terjadi semakin menguji perkahwinan tanpa cinta mereka.

"Help me tighten this?" Her voice trembles as she turns her bare back to the doorway. Calloused fingers brush her spine – but it’s not her stepmother. It’s Asher Voss, SU’s star quarterback and her new stepbrother, smirking in the mirror， "Next time you mistake me for Mom..." His breath scorches her ear. "...I’ll leave a real mark." To survive the sweltering New York summer before college, Wendy Wu makes a deal with Asher: Act like strangers once school starts. He’ll remain the untouchable quarterback; she’ll be just another exchange student. No eye contact. No acknowledgement. Ever. But when her father’s long hauls and her stepmother’s busy schedule force Asher into babysitting duty, the lines blur: In the kitchen, he catches her weeping over a shelter documentary and lifts her against his sweat-drenched chest. Garage doors rattle open – his grip tightens: "Hold on. Unless you want them to see you like this." At a party, her friend spots a cherry hair tie on his wrist before he drags her into a dark hallway: "You didn’t want to see me?" His whiskey-laced kiss brands her lips. "Yet your eyes undressed me all night." In a restaurant, a rival girl glares through the window. He traps Wendy’s thigh under the table， "Call me ‘brother’ and I’ll save you."  Their secret collapses. Wendy ends it, and he freezes her out in public， "Do I know you?" Until a rain-lashed night when Ahser, drenched and desperate, pins her to the wall， "Don’t tell me you do not regret the breakup" His teeth find her collarbone. "I have to admit it-- I miss you." Can a love forged in stolen touches survive the spotlight? Or will their step-sibling bond shatter them both?

Matapos ang isang malaking pagkakamali sa huli niyang mission, napilitan si Charlene Dumont na tanggapin ang trabahong personal secretary ni Bastien Morel, ang kilalang masungit, perfectionist, at ruthless na CEO ng Vireya Corporation, isang high-profile na kumpanya sa Pilipinas. Pero hindi lang basta trabaho ang pakay ni Charlene. May kailangan siyang makuhang code mula kay Bastien, isang critical na detalye para maayos ang sablay sa nakaraan niyang operasyon. Ang hindi niya alam, si Bastien ay hindi basta-basta boss. Isang maling kilos lang at puwede kang mawalan ng trabaho... o masira ang buong pangalan mo sa industriya. Iisa lang ang reputasyon nito: terror. Pero handa si Charlene na gawin ang lahat, kahit pa ang pakisamahan ang lalaking tingin ng lahat ay halimaw. Ang hindi niya inaasahan? Na unti-unti siyang mahuhulog sa lalaking dapat sana’y lalabánan niya. Makukuha ba niya ang code bago siya tuluyang bumigay sa tukso? O tuluyan na bang magiging Mission Impossible ang lahat?
