Quotes Respect Each Other

She was the adopted daughter. He was the family’s black sheep. Together, they crossed a line that shattered everything. Six years ago, Selene Monteviejo vanished—leaving behind scandal, heartbreak, and a secret too heavy to bear. Grateful to the powerful family who took her in, she made the ultimate sacrifice and walked away from the forbidden love that could ruin them all. What no one knew was that she left carrying Soren Monteviejo’s children. Ngayon, bumalik siyang pilit, dahil sa pagkakasakit ng adoptive mom niya. Pero ang hindi niya inakala, babalik rin si Soren sa pamamahay nila… may asawa na, at ang higit na nakakagulantang ay hindi man lang siya nito kilala. Masakit na nga sa kanya ang makitang may sakit ang kanilang ina, mas lalo pa siyang ginisa ni Soren. Hinahamak siya nito, tinatawag siyang ingrata. Parang salot na bumalik sa pamilya. Pero nagbago ang lahat nang matapang na awayin ng kambal niyang anak, pinagtanggol siya mula sa masakit na pananalita ni Soren—at doon nagsimulang mabasag ang iringan at magbago ang hindi magandang pagtrato sa kanya ni Soren.

I was slowly dying from Silverthorn Wolfsbane, and there was only one cure—the Miracle Elixir. But my mate, Leah Ashford, bought it and gave it to my adoptive brother,Jason Smith. She did it because she thought I was faking my illness. I gave up on the treatment and swallowed a potent painkiller instead. It would kill me in three days by shutting down my organs. In those three days, I gave up everything. I handed over the fur manufacturing business I built from the ground up to Jason, and my parents praised me for caring about my brother. I offered to sever our mate bond, and Leah praised me for finally being sensible. When I told my son he could call Jason "dad", he happily said that his new dad was the best! I transferred all my savings to Jason, and no one seemed to notice anything out of the ordinary. They were just pleased with my "better behavior". "Victor is finally not so bad." I wondered—would they regret it after I was gone?
