The Hidden Card

Savannah Cole is drowning in debt and desperation when she’s summoned to a penthouse interview with elusive billionaire Colton Briggs. But instead of a job, she’s offered a contract marriage: six months, one million dollars, no intimacy, and no questions. It’s a lifeline for Savannah—until she signs. What begins as a cold, calculated agreement spirals into a twisted maze of secrets. The deeper Savannah is pulled into Colton’s opulent world, the more she realizes nothing is as it seems. A blood-stained wedding dress. A locked vault. A missing heiress who once wore her ring. Whispers echo through the mansion’s marble halls—and every warning points to one truth: Colton Briggs is hiding something dark... and deadly. Bound by lies, trapped by a contract, and stalked by shadows from the past, Savannah must decide—will she survive Colton’s world long enough to escape it? Or is she the next chapter in a legacy of vanishing brides? When love is a transaction, and trust is a gamble, the price of saying “yes” might just be her life.

SAMPUNG TAON... Ganoon katagal nitong minahal si Noah hanggang umabot sa puntong naging parte na ito ng buhay niya. Wala siyang ibang pinangarap kung hindi ang lalaki at kung kailan akala nito ay magiging masaya na sila sa piling ng isa't isa ay kailangan na pala nitong magising sa mahaba at masarap niyang panaginip. "Finally, matatawag ko na ring Nicole Saavedra ang aking sarili nang walang halong pag-aalinlangan. Siguro oras na para anihin ko ang bunga ng pagsisikap ko bilang butihing maybahay ni Noah," aniya saka napangiti sa kinatatayuan. Dalawang taon ang lumipas magmula nang ikasal si Nicole sa bilyonaryong apo ng lalaking kumupkop at nagpalaki sa kaniya. Hindi masukat ang tuwang naramdaman ng puso niya nang mga oras na iyon hanggang sa alukin siya nito ng isang kasunduang maghihiwalay sila pagkatapos ng tatlong taon oras na manatiling walang apoy ang kanilang pagsasama. Sa kabila noon, ginawa ni Nicole ang lahat upang maging mabuti at mapagmahal na asawa habang hindi rin naman ito nagkulang na iparamdam sa kaniya ang prebelihiyo bilang misis nito. Muntik na nga nitong makalimutan ang kasunduan dahil naramdaman niyang tunay na ang ipinapakita nila sa isa't isa. Ngunit sa kaniyang kaarawan, isang annulment paper ang natanggap nitong regalo mula sa asawa. Dahil sa malungkot na balita ay nawalan siya ng lakas ng loob na sabihin ang tungkol sa anghel na nasa kaniyang sinapupunan. Sinubukan nitong alamin ang dahilan ng pakikipaghiwalay ng asawa hanggang sa tuluyang gumuho ang mundo niya nang malamang balak palang balikan ni Noah ang babaeng muntik na nitong pakasalan five years ago. Magagawa niya kayang iwan si Noah kung wala siyang ibang minahal sa tanang-buhay niya kung hindi ito lamang? Paano kung kailangan niyang maging lihim na asawa nito kapalit ang pananatili at pagiging responsable nitong ama sa kaniyang ipinagbubuntis?

🔥 WARNING: SLOW BURN and RICH IN NARRATIVE 🔥 Ashley and Josh were in a political marriage. At first, Ashley went along with it because she had liked Josh since childhood. But for Josh, it was a different story. He was head over heels for his girlfriend, Sharon. Josh was always cold to her and openly prioritized Sharon over everything else. It felt like torture for Ashley, and it seemed like it was only her who was dealing with it. Even worse, when they moved to Los Angeles, Sharon was brought along. Ashley desperately wanted to get out of the hell that Josh had built for her, but she was hindered by the agreement she had made with her family. There would be fatal consequences she might face if she divorced Josh. The only option she had was to have Josh be the one to file for divorce instead. So she did everything she could to make Josh, who was usually apathetic, turn to hating her. With help from Mark, CEO of Ashley's workplace and Josh's rival company, Ashley intensifies her efforts to carry out her plans to escape Josh. But at the same time, unexpectedly, she begins to experience a series of horrors that threaten her life. Ashley suspects that Josh is the mastermind behind all of this and urges herself to be more cautious in her actions. "My husband, Josh Lim, is the only person who will benefit from my death.” Surprisingly, Josh and—especially—Sharon are not spared as the target of terror, which makes Josh and Ashley strongly suspicious of each other. Their secret investigations lead to the revelation of dark secrets between their families. _________ × The beginning focus heavily on Josh and Sharon. × Josh and Ashley’s relationship will begin intensely from Chapter 50.

But when Eamon Quinn—a deadly half-breed werewolf-vampire—enters her life, Liliana’s carefully built world begins to crack. Eamon knows what Liliana doesn’t: she’s a dormant she-wolf, her wolf Skadi bound by powerful witchcraft since birth. Now, that binding is breaking. Liliana’s awakening unleashes a primal bond between them that is as dangerous as it is undeniable. As their connection deepens, so do the threats. Ancient covens with a dark history of hunting Liliana’s bloodline resurface, and a brutal supernatural war is on the horizon. To survive, Liliana must learn to control her wolf—fast. But each step toward control pulls her deeper into Eamon’s dangerous orbit, where pleasure and pain blur, and every instinct demands she surrender to the wild power inside her. As their enemies close in, the only thing more lethal than the forces hunting them is the bond between them—a bond that could either save them or destroy them both.
