BREE LEV. I thought it stands for something simple until I heard his deep soulful voice. A single hello was all it take for him to have my undivided attention. Akala ko hulog siya ng langit. Isang anghel na magsasalba sa akin. I was all wrong. He's a fallen angel with dark blue eyes and cold leather-covered hands. A man mantled with power and veiled with sin. We're opposites. I'm weird and a social butterfly. He's terrifying and brooding. A lone wolf. I love pinks and swirls. He prefers pointed knives and black guns. Darkness seems to be his fave companion and death his pastime. I, on the other hand, will always choose life. He told me to stay away from him. Guess, you know by now, that I did the exact opposite, right? I stayed 'cause I want him so bad, it hurts. I, Bree De Veyra, daughter of one of the families of The Council, lay my life to the head of the Foedus Corp– Lev Petrov. My father's sworn enemy. The master manipulator and my protector. Or my destroyer? LEV Three years ago, one phone call, two minutes. I swore I will kill her. Four weeks before her 16th birthday, I did the unthinkable. I destroyed her trust and left her. Broken and beyond repair. Twenty-four hours before her 18th birthday, nagbalik ako para bawiin s'ya. Twelve hours after I abduct her, we exchange I dos. Eight seconds after our first kiss, I know I will protect her with my gun and with my life. I, Lev Petrov, Heir to a fallen empire, vows to avenge Bree from all of the people that wronged her. It will be my life's mission until the last drop of my sinful blood...I will never let them rest in peace.

Layla Xander was gravely ill, with little time left. From that day forward, she had a revelation—when confronted with life and death, nothing else mattered. Selfish, leeching family members? She cut them off. A fiancé who proposed one day and cozied up to her 'good sister' the next? Out of her life. With nothing holding her back, she was finally free. Rumors about her slowly began to spread through her social circle. “Miss Xander has landed herself a wealthy benefactor.” “Miss Xander was seen vacationing with a young heartthrob.” “Miss Xander’s fortune has skyrocketed. She’s throwing around millions like it’s nothing.” Later, when the truth came to light, those who had abandoned her were left in tears, begging for forgiveness. Her leeching parents wept, “You’ll always be our sweet daughter. Come back home, won’t you?” Her scumbag ex-fiancé pleaded, “You’re the only one I’ve ever loved. Please, give me another chance.” But it was too late! A man stepped in, blocking everyone from getting near her. His face was cold and menacing as he growled, “Anyone who dares disturb Miss Xander again will leave here with broken legs.” And then, later still, that same man—once so untouchable and feared—knelt on one knee before her. His voice was deep and unwavering. “Whether in life or death, you’ll always be mine.” … William Lucas never claimed to be a good man. As the head of an elite and powerful family, his path had been paved with blood, and his decisiveness struck fear into anyone who dared cross him. No one could have guessed that this untouchable figure, feared by all, had been hiding away a tender place in his heart—for a girl. A secret he had carried for eight long years. Every ounce of gentleness he had was reserved solely for her.

Rasa cemburu social dan kebencian yang sudah tertanam di hati Cherry karena sikap baik Jenia,terlebih hutang yang melilit keluarganya di kampung membuatnya mengambil tindakan lain dan menjual Jenia dengan harga tinggi. Namun, Jenia tidak pernah menyangka dengan apa yang dilakukan oleh sahabatnya. Baginya Cherry tetaplah seorang sahabat. Dengan mencelakai Marvin, Jenia berhasil lolos dari tempatnya terkurung kemudian ia bertemu dengan Jonathan seorang CEO tampan dari Aleandra Group yang merupakan sahabat Marvin, juga kekasih Cherry. Jonathan menyelamatkan Jenia dan membawa Jenia kembali ke Jakarta. Cukup lama Jenia berusaha untuk bangkit dari keterpurukannya dan menjalin pertemanan dengan Jonathan yang selalu berusaha untuk membantunya. Penderitaan lain menghampiri Jenia. Kenyataan bahwa ia tengah hamil diketahui oleh keluarga bahkan teman-teman di tempatnya bekerja. Namun, Jenia terus bungkam dan enggan untuk menyebutkan siapa yang telah menghamilinya karena Jenia sendiri tidak tahu seperti apa wajah dan nama pria yang menghamilinya, karena setiap bertemu, pria itu menggunakan topeng di wajahnya. Bahkan pria bertopeng itu hanya menyebutkan Mr.M sebagai inisialnya. Hanya Cherry yang tahu siapa pria yang telah membuatnya hamil. Namun, keberadaan Cherry sama sekali tidak Jenia ketahui.

This is the story of a dying girl. Gracie. And just like every dying person, she had wishes. Infact she had a bucket list of things she wanted to do before she finally dies. * She had cancer of the blood and bone marrow. Chronic lymphocytic Leukaemia. It develops from a type of white blood cell called B cells and it progresses slowly. Symptoms may not show until maybe years for some patients. Her CLL was aggressive and needed chemotherapy treatment early. But it was a little late for her when they discovered. So wth no early treatment, She had just 5 years to live. The hospital became her home. She was given a room there to live indefinitely. She could still recall her dad’s gloomy face while decorating her room. She eventually recovered a little, just like every other days, she found herself retiring to her former routine. Her chats with him. But when she told him she was sick and was gonna die, he kind of took it differently than she expected. He asked her why. And her reply was probably the last message on their chat till this day. If he blocked her or something, she just doesn't know. she could never find him again on social media. She cried for weeks. He was supposed to be her best friend. She was never gonna make peace with Cancer or resign to fate. No way. Eventually she stopped treatment 2 yrs later when she got her independence. No matter the treatment, she would never be able to live as long as she wants anyway. So why prolong the torture? But that was a difficult decision to make nonetheless because she stopping the treatment meant she'd have to die earlier than 5 years. But she’d rather make peace with that as long as she could do whatever she wanted before dying. ..................... It's all about love, drama, regret.

I stare at the email on my screen, unable to move my fingers. Tomorrow is our company's crucial product launch, and I just learn that the patent for the algorithm I spent three years developing is now filed under Matthew Ashford's new assistant, Sophie Bennett. I storm into Matthew's office to confront him. Sophie sits on his desk with her legs crossed, looking completely innocent. She claims that she filled out the form by mistake. "It's just a clerical error. The patent still belongs to the company. What's the big deal?" Matthew stands up from his chair, positioning himself in front of Sophie. I can't believe what I am hearing. "Matthew, this is my research!" "Emma, you're thirty-five. Why are you picking a fight with a twenty-three-year-old intern?" He frowns. Then, he turns to Sophie. "Starting tomorrow, you're the new CTO. Emma needs… some time off." I'm utterly stunned. A decade of marriage and five years dedicated to building a company together have been shattered by a few casual words from him. Thirty minutes later, Sophie posts a photo on social media of herself sitting on Matthew's lap. They are both clinking champagne glasses. "So lucky to have the best boss ever. I'll make sure to be his loyal kitten." Below that, Matthew leaves a comment—three red heart emojis. I shut my laptop and pick up my phone. "Hello. Is this Mr. David Langley from Novara Group of Sundale Valley? This is Emma Whitmore. I've changed my mind. I'm ready to join you." I pause. "And by the way, about that unreleased algorithm upgrade, I have the complete technical blueprint. Make me an offer." Later, I fly to Tallisport with an eight-figure check in hand, while Matthew goes frantic trying to find me.

Anibersaryo ng kasal namin nang mag-post ang high school sweetheart ng asawa ko ng sonogram picture sa kanyang social media, na may caption na public thank-you sa asawa ko: [Salamat sa lalaking nandiyan para sa akin sa loob ng sampung taon, at sa pagbibigay sa akin ng anak.] Umikot ang kwarto, at namuo ang galit sa akin habang mabilis akong nagkomento: [So, proud ka sa pagiging homewrecker?] Halos kaagad, tumawag ang asawa ko, puno ng galit ang boses. "Paano mo nagawa na mag isip ng nakakasuklam na bagay? Ang ginawa ko lang ay tulungan siya sa IVF, natupad ang pangarap niyang maging single mom.” "At oo nga pala, kailangan lang ni Ruby ng isang subok para mabuntis, habang ikaw ay may tatlong round ng walang resulta. Walang kwenta ang katawan mo!" Tatlong araw lang ang nakalipas, sinabi niya sa akin na pupunta siya sa ibang bansa para sa negosyo—hindi pinapansin ang aking mga tawag at mensahe sa buong panahon. Akala ko busy lang siya. Gayunpaman, sa huli ay kasama niya pala si Ruby, dumadalo sa prenatal checkup nito. Makalipas ang kalahating oras, muling nag-post si Ruby, na ipinakita ang isang mesa na puno ng masasarap na pagkain. [Nagsawa ako sa French food, kaya ginawa ni Ash ang lahat ng paborito kong pagkain. The best talaga siya!] Napatitig ako sa pregnancy test sa kamay ko, ang saya na naramdaman ko kanina, ngayon ay tuluyan ng nawala. Matapos ang walong taong pag-ibig at anim na taon ng paglunok ng aking pride para lang manatiling buhay ang kasal, sa wakas ay handa na akong bumitaw.

On my wedding day, I jumped from the 38th floor of the hotel. It all started when I got together with my first love, Colin Frey. My best friend, Alice Manning, came to me and said she had bound herself to some kind of love system. She claimed that every guy I dated would fall for her and dump me. I thought she was just messing around and did not believe her. However, just a few days later, Colin came to me and confessed that he wanted to break up because he had fallen in love with Alice. After that, I got smart about it. I stopped telling anyone about my relationships and did not even post anything on social media. Yet, somehow Alice always knew. It was as if she had installed some kind of tracking device on me. No matter who I dated, she would find out. Then, within days, they would all fall head over heels for her and leave me behind. I was completely heartbroken, so I moved back to my hometown to get as far away from Alice as possible. Through my parents' arrangement, I was set to marry a guy through a blind date setup. Yet, on the actual wedding day, he stood up in front of everyone and confessed his love to Alice, saying he wanted to marry her instead. My parents, who were sitting in the audience, were so furious and devastated that they collapsed on the spot. They were rushed to the hospital, but it was too late. They were gone. Meanwhile, Alice was wearing the ring that was supposed to be mine, looking absolutely smug as she boasted, "A man this amazing? As if you deserve him. Now he's mine, so why don't you just step aside like a good girl?" I could not take the blow, so I climbed to the hotel rooftop and leapt off without hesitation. When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the very moment before Alice had ever mentioned that so-called system.

Meu amigo de infância prometeu que assim que terminássemos a faculdade, iríamos nos casar. Mas no dia da formatura, perante todos, ele se ajoelhou não para mim, mas para Ana, aquela falsa herdeira. Para o mundo, Ricardo era o herdeiro zen do círculo social, um homem que, mesmo tendo conquistado a mulher de seus sonhos, não hesitou em exibir sua paixão por mim após o pedido de casamento. Durante cinco anos de um casamento em que fui tratada como uma rainha, recebendo todo o carinho e atenção possíveis, me deixei enganar acreditando nesse conto de fadas. Até que um dia, por acaso, ouvi uma conversa entre Ricardo e um amigo dele: — Ricardo, agora que a Aninha virou celebridade, você ainda vai continuar fingindo para Júlia? — Não consegui casar com a Aninha, então tanto faz. Pelo menos, estando comigo, ela não atrapalha a felicidade da Aninha. Quando descobri todos os escritos deixados por ele, cada um deles tinha o nome da Ana. “Que Ana se liberte do que a prende, que ela encontre paz... Que seus desejos se realizem, que ela nunca sofra por amor. Ana, talvez não tenhamos destino juntos nesta vida, mas tomara que, em outra, eu possa segurar sua mão.” Cinco anos vivendo uma ilusão, e então acordei. Decidi assumir uma nova identidade e, para romper de vez, planejei meu próprio desaparecimento no mar. A partir de agora, mesmo que o destino insista, minha história e a dele não vão mais se cruzar. Não nesta vida, nem na próxima.

Mi prometido, Victor Blackwood, es el Don de la mafia que controla el bajo mundo de todo el país con mano de hierro. Para los demás, él es la personificación del poder. Pero para mí… era el amor hecho hombre. Nunca imaginé el precio de amar a un hombre como él. En el Día de San Valentín preparé sus comidas favoritas y lo esperé en casa. Sin embargo, las horas pasaron, el vino se enfrió… y su silla seguía vacía. Con un mal presentimiento, abrí la red social de Queenie Stone, su «hermana adoptiva», quien había publicado: «Solo bastó que le dijera que me sentía sola… para que viniera enseguida. Incluso, aunque derramé vino sobre él, no se enojó. Victor siempre ha sido así… La familia para él es lo primero, aunque eso signifique dejar a su novia esperando. Nunca me falla. Ojalá nada cambie». En la foto, la camisa de Victor estaba empapada a la altura de la cintura, y el pañuelo de Queenie descansaba de manera peligrosa cerca de su entrepierna… Él ni siquiera se había apartado… sino que solo la miraba con ternura. No hice ningún escándalo. Solo le di «me gusta» a su publicación y luego le envié un simple mensaje: «Terminamos.» Pero como siempre… lo ignoró. Después supe que, al ver mi mensaje, él se limitó a comentar: —Vivienne no puede vivir sin mí. Solo está haciendo un berrinche. Si la ignoro un par de días, volverá arrastrándose. Es fácil de contentar. Lo que él no sabía… era que yo solo era fácil porque lo amaba. Pero ahora que decidí irme, no hay vuelta atrás… No importa lo que haga.
