Raphael Santiago

Clumsy, coffee-obsessed sports reporter Tessa Lane is just trying to survive another awkward press conference when a PR disaster turns her world upside down—literally. After tripping into the arms of world-famous, scandal-stained soccer star Leo Santiago, the tabloids explode. The solution? A fake relationship to fix his image... and her career. Tessa's no actress, and Leo's charm is far too real. What starts as staged hand-holding and scripted smiles soon turns into late-night texts, unexpected kisses, and a chemistry no camera can fake. But when the line between pretend and real begins to blur, they’ll both have to decide—are they playing the game, or falling for it?

This is the story of a woman deceived and killed just to claim things that should have been rightfully hers. Let's meet the main character, Ellaine Santiago, and how she faced a situation she could never undo. She became an orphan at a young age due to her parents' death in a car accident, leading her to live with her Aunt Amanda, who raised her until she reached adulthood. It was there that she also met a man who captured her heart, Dave De Guzman. They deeply loved each other, eventually planning to get married. Little did she know that this would be the beginning of a life-changing event, as her cousin Josephine, Aunt Amanda's only child, returned home. Unbeknownst to Ellaine, Josephine's vacation plan had sinister intentions to steal and seduce her fiancé, Dave. Dave fell for Josephine's seduction, leading Josephine to plot Ellaine's murder to completely win Dave over. In an unexpected turn of events, Ellaine almost lost her life at Josephine's hands, falling into a waterfall and losing consciousness. Presumed dead, Ellaine was buried by her family, and Josephine successfully took Dave away from her. Upon her return, Ellaine was ready to hold her cousin and those who wronged her accountable for her near-death experience. But is she truly ready to confront the people who were once dear to her and fight for her love with Dave De Guzman? Let's follow the story of Ella Santiago in the novel titled "The Revenge of Ellaine" by Jenny Agsangre.

Al renacer en esta segunda vida, tomé una decisión: mantendría la máxima distancia posible de Santiago Fernández. Cuando lo vi llegar como director a mi empresa, renuncié esa misma tarde. Cuando compró un apartamento en mi edificio, me mudé al otro extremo de la ciudad. Y cuando anunció que dirigiría el imperio familiar desde aquí, solicité mi traslado internacional. En mi vida anterior, lo había obligado a casarse conmigo usando mi embarazo como chantaje. Pero justo el día de la boda, su primer amor regresó. Al vernos juntos en el altar, corrió hacia la terraza y saltó al vacío. Santiago fingió que nada había pasado y se casó conmigo, sonriendo. El día de nuestro aniversario de bodas, nos llevó a mi hija y a mí a hacer puénting. Pero él cortó las cuerdas, y mi hija y yo caímos, muriendo destrozadas. Después de nuestra muerte, se inclinó sobre nuestros cuerpos y rio con crueldad: —¡Si no fuera por ti, Valentina no se habría suicidado! ¡Ahora ve y págale por tu culpa! Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, había regresado a esa noche en que usé mi embarazo para obligarlo a casarse.

“Hmm.” Luca lowered himself, his groin making contact with mine. He brought his nose to my hair and sniffed, letting out an appreciative moan. “Roses. I like it.” “Luca…” his name came out as a moan when he nibbled my ear. “Don't hurt Matt, please.” He looked at me with an indescribable look. “And what are you willing to give me in return for sparing your lover's life?” I gaped at him in surprise. He knew? That Matt was my ex boyfriend? “How did you…” He shook his head with a humorless laugh. “You wound me, honey. I know a lot of things. I just choose not to say it.” “I haven't threatened to kill you in your sleep, have I?” I asked, then let out a defeated sigh when he raised a brow in disbelief at me. “Fine. What do you want in return?” He stared down at me for one… two… five seconds and then said, “I'd like to watch you come undone.
