I am not my parents' biological son. When they find their son and bring him back, he looks skinny and malnourished. My parents feel sorry for him, so they offer him compensation. But Kenneth Lawson says, "I am your son. If you are going to compensate me, then give me the company." My family persuades me by saying, "You are not related by blood after all. You should return the position to him." With a smile, I hand everything over to him. The next day, the company's biggest client, core technical team, and all distributors announce that they will only work with me. My parents panic and rush to beg me. I fold my arms and say, "Tell your biological son to come and beg me—the employee—to go back."

After four years with Killian, I got pregnant. I took the pregnancy test and my ID to a private hospital to set up a file, but when entering insurance information, I was stopped by the blonde administrative specialist. "Mrs. Smith, the system shows there is a problem with your marital status." She looked at me awkwardly. "Your marriage to Mr. Killian is not legally effective." I was stunned and instinctively retorted, "That's impossible. We registered in Las Vegas, all the procedures were..." "There is only an application record, no final signed effective document." The specialist turned the screen around and tapped the keyboard a few times. "Moreover, Mr. Killian's legal wife... shows another lady's name." That name was like a thorn, piercing fiercely into my retina. Elena. Killian's personal secretary, and also publicly recognized as the benefactor who saved his life in the Alps avalanche five years ago. I felt all the blood in my body flowing backward. How could it be her?

Si Jhai ay ang pinuno ng isang lihim na samahan na tinatawag na Lion Warrior, isang grupo na nagtutuwid ng mga maling katarungan. Maaga siyang naulila matapos mapatay ang kanyang mga magulang sa isang madugong insidente. Bitbit ang pangakong tutuparin ang pangarap ng mga ito, pinili niyang maging high school teacher. Upang mapanatili ang kanyang lihim na pagkakakilanlan, nagpakilala siya bilang si Zhaine, isang weird at old-fashioned na guro. Sa hindi inaasahan, siya ang itinalagang class adviser ng section 12-D—isang klase ng mga outcasts, pasaway, at mga estudyanteng tila wala nang pangarap sa buhay. Isa sa mga estudyante ay si Kenn Singson, anak ng school director. Masungit, matalino, at mailap—katulad ni Zhaine pagdating sa mga taong mahal nila. Bagama’t malamig at puno ng tensyon ang kanilang unang pagkikita, unti-unting nahulog ang loob ni Kenn sa kanyang adviser. At sa pagdaan ng panahon, kahit labag sa patakaran ng paaralan at sa sariling prinsipyo, natutunan ding ibigin ni Zhaine ang binata. Ngunit sa gitna ng unti-unting namumuong pag-ibig, patuloy pa rin ang misyon ni Jhai para makamit ang hustisya para sa kanyang mga magulang. Hanggang sa isang araw, natuklasan niya ang isang nakakagulat na katotohanan: ang taong pumatay sa kanyang ama ay walang iba kundi ang kanyang bagong kaibigan—isang private police inspector na lingid sa lahat ay may itinatagong lihim bilang kalaban ng Lion Warrior. Gumuho ang mundo ni Jhai. Ang paghahangad ng hustisya, sa pagkamatay ng kanyang magulang ang-siyang nagdulot sa kanya, upang siya'y mapahamak at mag-agaw buhay. Makakaligtas kaya si Zhaine sa bingit ng kamatayan? Isusuko ba niya ang Lion Warrior sa kanyang kaaway? handa ba nyang tanggapin ang alok ni Blue magpakasal kapalit ng kaniyang kaligtasan? At paano haharapin ni Kenn ang sakit ng mawalan ng babaeng unang nagturo sa kanyang magmahal—sa paraang kailanma’y hindi niya malilimutan?

After dying betrayed and heartbroken, Sydney Carter wakes up on the very day her downfall began. This time, she’s not the naive wife desperate for love—she’s a woman on a mission. Her husband wants to adopt the child he secretly fathered with his mistress? Fine. She’ll give him everything… just long enough to take it all back. As Sydney reclaims her power and dismantles the life built on lies, she never expects to stumble into a love that’s real. Sydney is ready to return her husband—to his mistress—and finally choose herself.

I was born a rare, powerful she-wolf… but none of that mattered in the end. Because when my own sister framed me, my fated mate chose to believe her instead. He didn’t just doubt me, he destroyed me, left me discarded like trash by the pack I spent my life protecting. I should have died that night. But instead, I woke up in the arms of a man far more dangerous. A billionaire whose hands are stained with the blood of my kind. A man who would slit my throat without hesitation… if he ever discovered what I truly am. So I do the only thing I can to survive: I lie. But every glance lingers too long, every touch burns a little deeper, and every step pulls me closer to the edge of something far more dangerous than death. In this house of silk and silver, I am playing a deadly game. Because if he finds out the truth… will I have the strength to run?

Ken spent a fortune on our wedding. But on our wedding night, he left me to take care of his crush, Jenny Johnson, who was struggling with severe depression. I grabbed a chainsaw, took down her door, and demanded a divorce. Jenny's eyes were swollen from crying. "I'll leave Ken alone, back to you. My life isn't as important as your happiness—" Ken, distressed beyond words, warned me, "Mayson White, listen to me. If Jenny ends up taking her own life because of you, you'll pay with yours." Later, he caught me cheating with his best friend. With red eyes, he pleaded, "Mayson, break up with him. I can pretend none of this happened. Let's just be together." "No way," I said. "He'll threaten to end his life if he never sees me. You're such a good guy and wouldn't want to force him to go through with it, would you?"

Camden Price's true love, Lynn Gardner, died on my surgery table. Unexpectedly, the malicious Camden chose to protect me from backlash and even proposed to me. He treated me extraordinarily well after we got married. Camden would take me to taste the hottest chili. We would sign up for the most death-defying activities like bungee jumping. When it was late at night, he would take me to the rowdiest and most dangerous bars to drink our hearts away. All this led to me contracting stomach cancer. During my late-stage cancer, I found the diary he left at home. Everything he did with me was what Lynn wanted to do with him. On the last page of his diary, he wrote hatefully, "She deserves to die." I did die. I died after Lynn was found alive. She had faked her death. I died on the day Lynn was marrying another man. You should be happy now, Camden.

"You want a divorce?" His voice was ice, sending a chill down her spine. "You'll never get it." For three years, Bellatrix devoted herself to Cillian Laurent—Miami’s ruthless tycoon and her indifferent husband—hoping to earn his love. But when she’s diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, she realizes the bitter truth: she was never his choice. Just a placeholder for the woman who abandoned him… and has now returned. Determined to reclaim her life, Bellatrix demands a divorce. But the man who once ignored her now refuses to let her go. As buried secrets unravel, she discovers their twisted marriage was never what it seemed. Can she break free from a love that was never hers? Or will his obsession destroy them both?

On my wedding day, my fiancé showed up with another woman, flashing a marriage license. He announced, "She's my true love. Don't even think about taking her place." My doting brother sided with her too. "You've had a cushy life for over 20 years. Let her have this." I left quietly. My brother and my fiancé breathed a sigh of relief. They paraded the new girl around town, my brother even calling her his adopted sister to boost her status. They didn't know I'd gone to the border until someone mentioned me. I was done with them, but they started to regret it.

The supplementary card I've issued for my grandmother shows that an eight-thousand-dollar purchase has taken place in another city. But the transaction records show that the money is used on hymenoplasty. I'm shell-shocked, to say the least. Grandma is 84 years old this year. She's been bedridden and paralyzed for years. Why would she even get hymenoplasty done on her, to begin with? But when my investigation leads me to a plastic surgery hospital, I find out that my wife, Stella Watson, is actually the lead doctor of said clinic. So, I call her to demand answers from her. However, Stella refuses to answer my questions properly. "Don't worry, honey. Something's most likely wrong with the system. Betsy is already this old—why would she have her hymen repaired?" That's just a bullshit answer coming from her. She seriously thinks I'm gullible enough to believe her. I merely huff coldly in return before calling my dad, who works in the Department of Commerce. "Dad, Stella is most likely cheating on me. I want her plastic surgery hospital as compensation for my impending divorce!"
