“I wish that, in your next life, you would spend 16 hours a day with your true love—just being together, even if in silence.” – Kate Leslie “I hope in your next life, you’ll only be able to work for someone else—never a boss, never in control. May you feel what it’s like to be commanded, even oppressed, in your job.” – Rex Leslie “I wish that in your next life, every single one of your companions would be from the underworld—no decent people, no respectable connections at all. May you experience the pain of having to interact with the very people you despise, and may you even lower yourself to fear them and obey, trapped by your own fears and prejudice.” – Max Leslie “I hope that in your next life, you’ll be gay—and not just any gay man, but the kind who is submissive, the kind who finds himself under another man. Not just one, either—let’s make two, no, three or maybe four. I want you to experience what it feels like to be completely dominated.” – Kix Leslie ...... Noah Leslie was a self-made successful businessman who unexpectedly got a chance to reborn. However, his new life was not determined by him, but shaped by his family.

Faced with these unbelievable wishes he could not agree with, Noah had no chance to argue. His new identity filled him with helplessness and rejection, but with no other choice, he had to accept this strange and oppressive second life.

"I, Emma Wilfred, reject you, Darrell Blackwood, as my fated mate.” My voice wavered as fresh tears streamed down my cheeks. “May our bond be severed.” He stepped forward. “We shouldn't do this, Emma.” “Then you’re free not to accept the rejection,” I interrupted coldly. “If you’re ready to give up everything and fight for our love,” I said, part of me hoping, desperately praying that he would really choose us.

I just can’t seem to get enough of you, April.” Francesco growled, and my eyes widened into the size of saucers.  “Ugh, i-it just won't go all the way in, should we try a different position?” April moaned, which made me cough out a joyless laughter.  “Maybe you should stop moving and let me do the work, baby,” My husband replied, and I huffed mirthlessly. + Josephine Perkins used to believe happy endings existed only in fairytales until she met Francesco De Luca, her angel in human form.

Bata pa lang si Andreana Velasquez nang maulila siya dahil sa isang madugong ambush. Ang target sana ng pag-atake ay isa sa mga miyembro ng makapangyarihang pamilyang Vergara.

One tragic night ruined her life… but one sinful night awakened something she should’ve never felt. *** Maya Ramirez is a top actress—admired by millions, envied by many, but shattered within. Sa araw ng kanyang bed scene shoot, nakatanggap siya ng balitang ikinawasak ng mundo niya: naaksidente ang ama niya at nang dumating siya sa ospital ay patay na ito. At ang mas masakit? Buntis ang kapatid niyang si Maica, at ang ama ng dinadala nito ay walang iba kung 'di ang boyfriend ni Maya. Dahil sa sakit, sa galit, sa pagkawasak—uminom siya ng alak hanggang mawalan ng kontrol. At sa isang gabi ng kahinaan, nakatulog siya sa bisig ng isang estranghero. Ngunit pagmulat niya… hindi pala ito estranghero. Ito ay si Atty. Luigi Salazar—ang kanyang tiyuhin. Dapat ay isang pagkakamali lang iyon. Dapat ay kalimutan na, pero hindi siya pinakawalan ni Luigi. Hindi siya tinalikuran. Sa halip, ang bawat gabi ay naging mas mapusok, mas makasalanan… at mas mahirap itigil. They tried to deny it. They tried to hide it. Until one revelation changed everything—they’re not blood-related. Pero sapat ba 'yon para maging tama ang mali? Handa ba silang ipaglaban ang pag-ibig na itinatago nila sa dilim? O mas pipiliin nilang masunog sa apoy ng bawal na pagmamahalan? *** “Hindi mo ako matatakasan, Maya,” malamig, ngunit puno ng damdaming bulong ni Uncle Luigi. “Simula ngayong gabi… akin ka na.”

Lors d'un dîner de famille, ma mère m'a tendu des photos d'hommes et m'a demandé avec lequel je souhaitais contracter un mariage arrangé. Dans ma vie actuelle, au lieu de choisir la photo de Benoit, j'ai sorti une autre de mon sac. Sur cette photo figurait Charlie Gautier, l'oncle de Benoit, mais surtout, le véritable chef de famille Gautier. Ma mère a été stupéfaite. Après tout, j'étais amoureuse de Benoit pendant de nombreuses années. Pourtant, elle ignorait que dans ma vie antérieure, j'avais épousé Benoit et il rentrait rare à la maison. Je pensais qu'il avait un emploi du temps chargé et je m'étais toujours reprochée pour son indifférence. Le jour de notre vingtième anniversaire de mariage, par accident, j'avais brisé la boîte qu'il gardait précieusement sous clé depuis des années. J'avais alors découvert que la femme qu'il aimait depuis toujours était ma sœur. S'il rentrait rare à la maison, c'était simplement parce qu'il ne voulait pas me voir. Mais lors de mon mariage, voyant que Charlie et moi avons échangé les alliances, Benoit a perdu complètement la raison.

J'étais enceinte de neuf mois quand un ancien employé, qui en voulait à mon mari de l'avoir remplacé, m'a prise en otage sur le toit et m'a poignardée des dizaines de fois. Mon mari, capitaine de l'équipe de secours, a mobilisé tout le monde pour empêcher son ex dépressive de mettre le feu à son appartement. Je ne lui ai pas demandé de venir me sauver. Dans ma vie précédente, je l'avais supplié au téléphone, il avait quitté son ex pour venir me sauver. Le bébé et moi avions survécu, mais son ex était morte dans l'incendie qu'elle avait déclenché. En apparence, mon mari ne m'en avait pas voulu et m'avait réservé une chambre VIP pour l'accouchement. Mais le jour de mon accouchement, il m'avait attachée et nous avait poignardés, le bébé et moi, des dizaines de fois ! « Ce jour-là, toi et lui, vous m'avez manipulé, n'est-ce pas ? Tes blessures n'étaient pas graves ! Tu ne risquais pas de mourir ! » « Puisque tu aimes tant te faire poignarder, je vais t'exaucer ! » Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux, je suis revenue au jour où j'avais été prise en otage. Cette fois, j'ai décidé de le laisser sauver son premier amour.
