The Falling Merman Novel

“Isang halik lang dapat… pero bakit parang gusto kong ulitin?” ani Alexis Vergara sa sarili, habang hinahabol ang sariling hininga matapos ang mainit na tagpo sa pagitan nila ni Ralph Santillian — ang bestfriend ng ex niyang cheater na si Julio. Isang gabing puno ng emosyon, galit, at alak, nagbago ang lahat sa isang iglap. Ang halik na dapat ay para lang ipamukha kay Julio na hindi siya nasira, ay bigla na lang nag-iwan ng init at kaguluhan sa puso’t isipan ni Alexis. Si Ralph, tahimik, misteryoso, at hindi interesado sa drama ng paligid, ay bigla na lang naging bahagi ng isang planong puno ng kasinungalingan: isang contractual marriage. Hindi sila in love, hindi sila magkaibigan, pero pareho silang may gustong patunayan — na kaya nilang makabangon mula sa mga nanakit sa kanila at gumanti sa ginawang pananakit ng mga taong minsang minahal nila ngunit sumira din sa kanila. Habang ginagampanan nila ang papel ng mag-asawa, unti-unting nabubura ang mga linya ng kasunduan. Si Alexis, na dating galit at puno ng poot, ay nahuhulog kay Ralph. Samantalang si Ralph, na tila bato ang puso, ay natutong ngumiti at masaktan para sa babaeng minsang bahagi lang ng isang plano. Ngunit paano kung bumalik si Julio para muling guluhin ang lahat? At paano kung ang dating kasunduan ay maging totoo na sa mata ng batas… at sa tibok ng puso?

Five years ago, Lilian West's world shattered when she discovered that her marriage had been nothing but a carefully crafted lie. Her best friend, Emily, had introduced Wilson as her cousin, but in reality, he was her lover, and together, they had planned a scheme to strip Lilian of her family's wealth. Blinded by love, Lilian used her father’s resources to propel Wilson’s career as a fashion designer and then she signed over her father’s assets to him. The betrayal came crashing down when she uncovered their deceit—just as she learned she was pregnant. With his mission accomplished, Wilson coldly discarded her, leaving her homeless and broken. Powerless but fueled by vengeance, she made a bold move—marrying his stepbrother and relocating into a new city, where she gave birth to twins with extraordinary talents. Over the next five years, their unique abilities led her to unimaginable success, transforming her into the most powerful and influential woman in the world. At last, the moment to crush Wilson had arrived, and everything was falling into place—until, once again, her world came crumbling down.

"The sex was good though." Davina said, rudely pulling me out of my thoughts. "Just the sex?" "Yes." She repeated unapologetically. "Just the sex." I turned, her words piercing me in a way I didn't expect. "Ouch." Davina chuckled, as if she had not just spat out the coldest line ever. "What did you expect? That I will fall back into your arms and profess love to you?" "I didn't ask for that." "Good." She murmured. "Because I have given you my heart before and you gave it back to me in pieces." °°°°°°°°°° One moment, Davina was walking down the aisle with a wide smile on her face. The next, she was picking up the pieces of what was left of her heart with bleeding hands. The only family she had left had been cruelly taken from her by the man she was supposed to marry, the man that had shown her nothing but love and had treated her like she was the most precious thing in the world. He changed— taking her as a captive and punishing her for a crime she had no idea about. But Davina swore to revenge, to take back all he had taken from her and make him pay for his sins, even if it's the last thing she does.
