Marisol Ríos estaba enferma; le quedaba poco tiempo de vida. Ese día tuvo una revelación: frente a la muerte, todo lo demás carecía de importancia. Su familia, egoísta y abusiva, que solo sabía aprovecharse de ella... ¡ya no los quería en su vida! Su prometido, David Peña, el mismo que acababa de pedirle matrimonio para luego involucrarse con su propia hermana, Lucía... ¡tampoco lo quería ya! Despojada de todo, por fin podía ser libre... Poco a poco, en su círculo social comenzaron a circular rumores sobre ella. Que Marisol se relacionaba con gente muy influyente. Que se le veía acompañada de hombres más jóvenes. Que su fortuna personal crecía sin parar y derrochaba dinero sin medida. Que Marisol... Tiempo después, cuando aquellos que la habían despreciado descubrieron su situación, uno tras otro, desesperados, le suplicaron llorando su perdón. Sus padres, con fingida dulzura: —Mi niña, tú siempre serás nuestra hija querida. Anda, regresa a casa con nosotros, ¿sí? Su ex prometido, el traidor: —Marisol, a la única que quiero es a ti, lo juro. Por favor, dame otra oportunidad. Pero ya era demasiado tarde. Un sujeto de semblante endurecido se interpuso. —Si alguien se atreve a molestar de nuevo a la señorita Ríos, le romperé las piernas. ... Tiempo después, ese caballero, una figura poderosa y casi inalcanzable, se arrodillaba ante ella. —Viva o muerta, Marisol, tú eres mía. Alonso Garza nunca se consideró a sí mismo una buena persona. Como cabeza de una de las familias más poderosas, había forjado su camino con decisiones implacables y una determinación férrea, labrándose una reputación temible. Nadie habría imaginado que aquel sujeto formidable y peligroso llevaba a una joven guardada en lo más profundo de su ser, y así había sido durante ocho años. La poca ternura que poseía, estaba reservada por completo para ella.

"Are you really willing to pay someone $100,000 to act as your wife?" Selena asked, a hint of skepticism in her voice. "Yes, I'm considering tripling the offer," I said, my voice betraying a hint of pride. She looked at me with surprise, and I couldn't help but feel insulted by her reaction. It was clear that her experience with poverty had made her skeptical of anyone with wealth. Selena Gardner had no choice but to accept Fred Leonard's offer to be his contracted wife. Although she was a staunch feminist who believed in female empowerment and a fairy tale kind of love,she had no other option. Her sister's life was at stake, and she needed money for her medical treatment. But little did she know that her social media love interest, George, was actually Fred's cousin and rival for the CEO position. This contract marriage and love triangle story will have you on the edge of your seat as you follow Selena's journey as she navigates her chaotic love life while living under the same roof as Fred and George. As the days went by, Selena found herself being drawn deeper and deeper into the Leonard family drama. The more time she spent with them, the more she found herself questioning her own beliefs and values. Would she be able to hold on to who she was, or would she be changed forever by this experience? Will she choose one of them after all the charade was over or will she manage to stay true to herself?

Years had passed since Helena first walked through the imposing gates of Brentford Academy—a school of wealth and whispers, luxury and secrets. The memories of those early days—of cold stares, whispered mockery, and relentless bullying from Greg and Bianca—still lingered in her mind, but they no longer held the power to hurt her. Levenon had once felt like a place of exile, a strange city after her parents’ divorce. But beneath the glittering surface of privilege and cruelty, Helena found something unexpected: strength, and even a fragile kind of hope. Greg, the billionaire heir who had wielded his wealth like a weapon, had surprised everyone—including himself. What began as rivalry and harshness slowly turned into something more complicated. Beneath his arrogance, Greg saw something in Helena he had never noticed before—her courage, her kindness, her refusal to be broken. As seasons passed, his animosity faded into admiration, and admiration blossomed into love. It was a quiet, confusing love, born from moments stolen between tension and vulnerability. Helena, though wary at first, eventually saw past Greg’s tough exterior to the boy struggling with his own expectations. Bianca, once the unchallenged queen of Brentford’s social scene, faded into the background, losing her grip on power as both Greg and Helena forged their own paths. Helena graduated at the top of her class, her scholarship the key to a future she had fought hard to claim. Universities lined up with offers, eager to welcome the girl who had risen above Brentford’s shadows. Now, standing once more before the academy’s grand gates, Helena no longer saw the school as a place of cruelty but as the crucible that shaped her. Brentford had been a battlefield—and a forge. With Greg by her side, no longer a bully but a partner, Helena ---

The day I had a miscarriage, nobody showed up to see me in the hospital. I saw on Jonah's social media that he was celebrating his first love's birthday. My son, who I raised for nine years, was also there and gave her a handmade gift. However, in the ten years we have been married, Jonah has never celebrated my birthday. I have never received a gift from my son, either. I suddenly felt exhausted and told him I wanted a divorce. That night, he rushed home and said, "It's just a miscarriage. Why are you making such a big deal out of it?" My son added, "Mom, you're an adult. Can't you take better care of yourself?"

On my birthday, I wait at a restaurant until they close for the night, yet Rebecca Shaw doesn't show up. Later, I see that her childhood friend, Hugh Somers, has shared a photo on his social media. "Thanks for the yacht, Rebecca! Let's take it for a spin tonight!" I like the photo and comment on it. "Have fun." In the next second, Rebecca calls me. "He's my assistant. I'm just rewarding him for closing a big deal! What's your problem? Do you have to be so sarcastic, you worthless piece of trash?"
