Ruby Lang

My first reaction when I encountered the landslide was not to run, but to immediately call Ethan. After all, Ethan always nagged at me, and I can almost hear him saying, "You can't do anything right; I always have to come to help." The phone rang for ages before it finally connected, and by then, the landslide had knocked me to the ground. "Yes? What is with you? Calling eight hundred times a day… Don't you ever get tired of it? I told you I'm working; I don't have time. "Hello? If you're not going to say anything, I'm hanging up. I've got other things to do." Beep, beep! Before I could say a word, Ethan impatiently scolded me. Typical. That had been Ethan Lang's attitude five years into our marriage. He might not have to put up with me anymore after this, though, because I might never see him again......

"Masquerade of the Heart" Sometimes love hides behind the most unexpected masks… After a brutal betrayal and a painful divorce, Ethan Lockwood has lost all faith in love—until he finds solace in the red light district, not in lust, but in quiet companionship.

Meanwhile, under his powerful mother's pressure, Ethan finds himself in an unlikely contract marriage—with Minnie. What begins as convenience quickly turns into something real, but neither dares to admit it. When Minnie’s secret is exposed and the world turns against her, she vanishes—until a determined friend helps her find Ethan again, hiding in a remote cabin, wounded and lost. There, truths are faced, love is confessed, and a powerful choice is made. Tangled in lies, love, and legal battles, Masquerade of the Heart is a slow-burn, emotionally rich romance about trust, redemption, and the unexpected places we find home.

And Ruby, the woman who had only ever asked for a chance, is left standing in a white dress with a ring that suddenly feels too heavy to wear. She always knew she was a placeholder. Still, she said I do because loving Asher was the only dream she’d ever truly had. With Camilla back now, Ruby wondered if she will ever have her husband's heart or if she’s destined to live in the shadow of her husband’s mistress…

"Hello Bestie.. Kumusta?" sagot ni Roldan sa kabilang linya. "Bestie, help!!!! Hindi ko na kaya" habol ang hininga na sagot ni Carissa. "Bestie, what happened....

Nandito na ako sa kotse." wika ulit ni Roldan. Nag-umpisa na din ito magdrive. Maya-maya pa ay nareceived na din niya ang location kong saan naroon si Carissa. Agad niya itong pinuntahan at natagpuan sa isang upuan. Nakayuko ito at halatang hirap sa paghinga. Nang mahawakan ni Roldan ay agad niyang itinaas ang mukha ni Carissa. Nagulat siya sa hitsura nito. Maputla ito at nakapikit na. Bakas sa mukha nito ang mga luha at paghihirap. Agad na niyakap ni Roldan ang kanyang kaibigan. Maya-maya pa ay naramdaman niya itong lumungay-ngay sa kanyang balikat. Bumagsak din ang mga kamay nito. Nataranta si Roldan ng marealized niya na nawalan ng malay si Carissa . Agad niya itong binuhat at isinakay sa kotse. Pinaharurot agad niya papuntang hospital.
