The Contracted Hearts

In a world ruled by power and betrayal, Atticus Escoban, the younger daughter of the influential Escoban family, has always lived away from the dangerous chaos of their criminal empire. For 21 years, she was sheltered, hidden, and protected. But her life changes forever when Alijax Costaloña, the cold and calculating heir of the Costaloña dynasty, violently confronts her father, leaving him gravely wounded. Atticus never expected to be caught in the crossfire of her family’s schemes. Worse, Alijax discovers her existence and shocks everyone by choosing her—over her older sister Anneth—to be his fiancée. The engagement is a sham, a dangerous ploy to secure alliances, but Alijax has plans no one can predict. Determined to protect her family at any cost, Atticus agrees to the engagement, kahit na lumalaban ang puso niya sa ideya. Behind her composed exterior, she plots her way out, refusing to let the Costaloñas dictate her future. But the closer she gets to Alijax, the harder it becomes to distinguish between the man who ruined her family and the one who seems capable of understanding her like no one else. “Do you think you can escape this, Atticus?” he said, his voice dangerously low as he cornered her in the dimly lit study. “You’re mine now. Whether you like it or not.” Her fists clenched, and she met his cold, unreadable gaze with defiance. “You can own the world, Alijax Costaloña, pero ako? Hindi mo ako makukuha.” In a game of power, deception, and forbidden emotions, Atticus must make the ultimate choice. Will she sacrifice her freedom to protect her family, or will she risk it all to claim the life she truly deserves? Love and survival collide in a story where nothing is what it seems, and every decision could be deadly.

“Marry me.” I said to the man I had just met. His assessing gaze was fixed on my face. “No woman would want to have an impotent man or have them as mate but I do! So marry me.” He leaned closer to me and our faces were inches apart. “Ok, deal.” Cassandra caught her stepsister and her mate together the day before her mating ceremony, and she been forced by her father to marry him, regardless. She needed an escape from the harsh reality of being stuck with a cheating mate, that was when she met the mysterious Dorian Fernandez.

She was sold to pay her father's debt. She arrived carrying his secret. Ava Sterling never expected to see Ryder Kane again. The last time she did, he'd spent one night unraveling her completely — then left her with seven words at dawn: "You are nothing to me." Four months later, she's standing on an auction platform in silver cuffs while alphas bid on her like livestock. Her father calls it a debt payment. She calls it a betrayal she'll never forgive. Then Ryder steps out of the shadows and buys her himself. One year. One contract. One rule — produce his heir. The problem? She's already four months pregnant with his triplets. Ava signs the contract and keeps her secret, calculating she has weeks before he finds out. But Ryder Kane didn't build an empire by missing things. And when the truth explodes — along with the dining room windows and the first appearance of a golden power she can't explain — everything changes. Because Ava isn't just a rejected omega carrying his children. She's the last carrier of an ancient bloodline that a seven-hundred-year-old shadow king has been waiting to claim. Her triplets are the key to a throne that was never supposed to reopen. And the contract that was supposed to be a cold transaction is becoming the one thing standing between her children and a darkness older than every pack law ever written. She was bought. She became a weapon. Now she's coming for everything that tried to take what's hers.

Dahil sa hindi mabayarang utang na iniwan ng ama ni Ahtisa sa kaniya, kailangan niyang tanggapin ang kontratang maging surrogate ng tagapagmana ng bilyonaryong CEO na si Kairon Watson at ng girlfriend nitong si Celine Valdez. Apat na taon nang nagsasama si Kairon at Celine pero hindi pa rin sila nabibiyayaan ng anak dahil may problema si Celine sa kaniyang obaryo. Iyon ang dahilan kung bakit tutol ang mga magulang ni Kairon na magpakasal sila dahil kailangan nila ng tagapagmana, hindi sila p'wedeng mag-ampon dahil ang gusto ng mga magulang ni Kairon ay sarili dapat nilang apo at kadugo ang magmamana sa yaman nila. Doon nila napagdesisyon na kumuha ng surrogate na magdadala ng tagapagmana ni Kairon at iyon ay si Ahtisa. Dinala ni Kairon si Ahtisa sa pribadong isla upang itago at maproteksyonan siya. Sa halos araw-araw na pagtatalik ni Kairon at Ahtisa, hindi sila nabigong magbunga ito sa loob ng isang buwan. Sa pagdadalang-tao ni Ahtisa, namuo ang inggit sa kaniya ni Celine, lalo na kapag nakikita niya kung paano siya protektahan ni Kairon. Hindi maiikaila ni Ahtisa na nahuhulog na ang kaniyang loob kay Kairon at alam niya sa sarili niyang hindi niya na kayang ibigay sa kanila ni Celine ang batang dinadala niya dahil minamahal niya na rin ang batang nasa sinapupunan niya. Ano na ang gagawin ni Ahtisa? Paano niya kahaharapin ang galit sa kaniya ni Celine? At paano niya lalabanan ang pagmamahal na nararamdaman niya kay Kairon kung sa una palang ay mali na ito? Wala sa kontrata nila ang umibig siya sa ama nang pinagbubuntis niya!
