"Marry me for three years. Once Leah is back, we’ll divorce, and I’ll give you ten million dollars." The words were a cold offer, spoken so close to her that she could barely breathe. Alexander King—ruthless, untouchable, looks to die for and heir to the King empire—has never been the kind to beg. But when his first love, Leah, disappears, he makes a deal with Athena Dawson, the orphan girl his family has sponsored for years. Three years of marriage to protect the position of wife for Leah. A contract. And a promise of millions. But Athena doesn’t want his money. She wants him. She agrees, hoping that in those three years, she can make him love her—not as deeply as he loved Leah, but just enough to make him keep her by his side. And for a while, it almost seems possible. He’s sweet. Protective. Almost hers. Until Leah returns. Just like that, the dream shatters. The warmth disappears. And the man who once held her so gently turns cold, placing divorce papers in her hands as a cruel reminder of the deal they made. Their dirty little secret. But what if Athena isn’t the same girl who agreed to the contract? And what if, for the first time in his life, Alexander King realizes he made a mistake?

“I don't want any trouble, Easton.” She breathed. But he only stepped closer, running his fingers on her cheeks slowly as a smirk stretched the side of his mouth, “Well, that's too damn bad because I want to see you in trouble. I want to see you in pain until you're nothing but a shell in a body.” Tears rolled down her cheeks as she held back a sob, her throat was dry as she asked the question that was burning in her chest, “Do you hate me that much?” Seeing her tears made something in him shift but he quickly recovered. He took a few steps back and tucked his hands in his pockets before finding her gaze again, “That would make me too kind. What I feel for you isn't hate, Scarlet. It's deeper than that, but most importantly, I want to make you pay for ruining my life and taking my brother from me.” ……….. They say opposites attract, and for them, it was love at first sight. But love wasn’t enough to keep them together when fate tore them apart. She left him, convinced it was the only way to protect him. He believed she abandoned him out of cold-heartedness, and love for money. Blaming her for his brother’s tragic accident. For five long years, he’s harbored a fierce bitterness, a desire for revenge so intense it’s reshaped him, hardening his heart to ice. Now she’s back—stronger, wiser, but still haunted by the shadows of their past. And he’s waiting, ready to make her pay for what he believes she stole from him. She takes his anger, thinking it’s because she left, unaware of the deeper wound that fuels his wrath. But what happens when the truth finally comes out?

After I fail to win over the hearts of all three female leads, the system tells me that I can return to my original world as long as my body dies in this world. So, I happily order myself a grand meal of carb-based food in the dark basement. After eating my fill, I pull out a coil of rope and get ready to hang myself. But just as I'm about to stick my head through the noose, I suddenly see comments floating before my eyes. "Don't do it, Daniel! Elena's just mistreating you because she feels that she should make it up to Ryan! You're actually her favorite brother!" "That's right! The same applies to your fiancee! Ryan has saved her before, after all! The truth is, whenever she hurts you, she feels her heart wrenching in pain at the same time!" "Your childhood friend feels nothing but guilt for Ryan. Daniel, don't ever give up, and don't take your own life. If you die, the three of them will go crazy for real!"

THE BILLIONAIRE’S PROMDI WIFE Promdi pero palaban. Nang makilala ni Summer ang masungit, mayabang, matapobre at walang puso na si Lyndon Santiago, hindi siya nagpatalo dito. Nagpaalam agad siya pagkatapos ng tatlong araw na bakasyon sa townhouse nito kahit pa nangako ito na tutulungan siya sa napakabigat niyang problema. Pero hindi siya nito pinayagang umalis. Sa halip, sumama ito sa probinsya nila sa Quezon Province at ‘nanilbihan’ sa kanya gaya ng ordinaryong binata dahil gusto raw nitong ‘maningalang-pugad’ sa kanya at itama ang lahat. She fell in love with him fast and—hard. At siya rin ang nag-suggest dito kahit fake na kasal. Handa rin siyang bigyan ito ng anak kahit singdami ng isang basketball team sa Pilipinas kahit na siya ang talo sa huli at walang kasiguruhan. May reward ba si Kupido sa tulad niya na buong puso kung magmahal? ******* Matindi ang sumpang tumama kay Lyndon unang beses pa lang niyang nakita si Summer: Wild sex. Pure lust. Burning passion. Higit sa nararapat. Walang oras na hindi siya nagnanasa sa probinsyanang dalaga. Nawalan ng saysay ang  personal niyang dahilan  kaya wala siyang tiwala kahit kaninong hampaslupa. Iba si Summer. Her name fits her personality. Para itong nagsasalitang konsensya kapag nagkakamali siya. Malupit ang  karmang dumapo sa kaniya. Pero maliban sa kailangan niya itong malahian kaagad, wala na siya ditong ibang pakinabang. Sa mundong pinakamahalaga ang pera, may puwang ba si Summer sa tabi niya? **** AUTHOR'S NOTE: Isinulat ko po ang novel na ito, 6 years ago. Unfinished sa ibang app dahil naging busy. From second pov, inilipat ko sa first pov ngayon kaya humihingi ako ng pasensya sa 'ako' na nagiging 'siya'. Please, bear with me. Salamat po. 😍❤️‍🩹🔥

Lors des funérailles de ma mère, mon fiancé Gervais Plessis est venu présenter ses condoléances accompagné de Célia Bocuse, et devant tout le monde, il a annoncé l'annulation de nos fiançailles, simplement pour l'épouser. Alors que tout le monde se moquait de moi, Kévin Gide, mon ami d'enfance, s'est soudainement agenouillé devant moi et m'a demandé en mariage, avouant qu'il m'aimait depuis de nombreuses années. Émue par sa sincérité, j'ai accepté de l'épouser. Trois ans après notre mariage, je n'avais toujours pas d'enfants. Kévin m'a consolée en me disant que ce n'était pas grave, que tant qu'il m'avait, c'était suffisant. Peu de temps après, j'ai entendu une conversation entre lui et notre médecin de famille : « M. Gide, les pilules contraceptives sont prêtes comme vous l'aviez demandé. Faut-il continuer à lui en donner ? » Kévin a répondu froidement : « Oui, continuez à lui donner. L'épouser était simplement une solution temporaire, et dans mon cœur, seule Célia pourra être la mère de mes enfants. » C'est là que j'ai découvert que ce que je croyais être un mariage heureux n'était en réalité qu'un mensonge. Puisqu'il ne m'aimait pas, je n'avais plus aucune raison de le garder.

Everyone in Astora is envious of Serafina Greco. She has a husband who loves her with all his heart. They throw a luxurious wedding that's worth 470 million dollars in total.

I loved and followed him around like a puppy for eight years until finally he noticed me. Hearing him ask me to be his wife was a dream come true. A fairytale. Or so I thought.

With a broken heart, I rose in anger and was ready to punish them both and make them pay for the pain they caused me.

"Don’t move an inch, continue fucking her!" I screamed. "Asssshley pleassse!" He pleaded, with tears coming out of his eyes. "What’s that? No! Don’t cry, you are a guy. Don’t you want this?"
