The Hidden Face

It started with the most annoying encounter at the mall. One glance at him, she wished she never crossed paths with him again, He wished so too. Not until fate brought them back again. At her father's party. Something about her pulled him slowly and deeply without warning. He tried to shrug it off but he couldn't. Then one night, Alex had too many drinks and Alice is to meet her friend at the hotel when she walked into the room where he is...and they crossed a line they aren't meant to. During the act, he made it clear: He never wanted kids. She nodded, not until her test results came back positive. Years later, their paths cross again. He sees a little boy with his hair type....and he demands to know who he is. But the man beside her, Chris Wales, holds secrets darker than anyone suspected. Secrets that tie him to her blood in the most twisted way. Can a child mend what fate once broke? Or will secrets tear them apart once more? Or will secrets, lies, and a mother’s manipulations tear them apart once more?

"Knowing my real identity means DEATH." - Mafia Don Daven Verrano Costello **** Mahigit pitong taong naging consigliere ng Mafia Don sa bansang Italy si Daven Costello. Siya rin ang misteryosong CEO ng Philippines Bank Corporation (PBC) na may paid-in capital na 20 Billion Pesos. Nang mamatay ang boss ng kanilang mob ay nahirang siya bilang bagong pinuno. He's protective when it comes to his family's safety so he decided to keep it a secret. Ang akala ng marami ay isa lamang siyang hamak na secretary sa sarili niyang kompanya. Elera Luciano - ang nakamaskarang lider ng Asian Assasins at nagtatrabaho bilang General Manager sa PBC. Pinasok niya ang magulong mundo ng mafia para hanapin at pagbayarin ang taong pumaslang sa kaniyang tunay na ina. Dahil sa kalasingan, kalituhan at kapusukan, nagbunga ang isang gabing pinagsaluhan nina Daven at Elera. It was indeed a marriage before love set up dahil kapwa infatuation lang naman ang nararamdaman nila sa isa't isa bago pa may mangyari sa kanila. Nang magpakasal ang dalawa, naranasan ni Daven kung paano maliitin at ituring na parang basura ng kaniyang mga biyenan. Inalipusta, inapak-apakan at inalila. Maging si Elera ay itinuring na isang malaking kahihiyan ng kaniyang mga magulang. Hanggang isang araw, hindi na natiis ni Daven ang lahat. Nagimbal ang mundo ng angkan ng Luciano nang malaman nila ang tunay na katauhan ni Daven.

Five years ago, Elara Thorne died in a wreckage of twisted metal and flames. Or so the world believed. In reality, she was running from the powerful Vance family who wanted her erased, and running from Julian Vance, the man who had shattered her heart before she could even tell him she was carrying his twins. Now, Elara is a shadow in the city, a mother living on the edge of survival. But the "Ice King" of New York has a long memory and even longer reach. When Julian catches a glimpse of a familiar face at an elite gala, his world of cold calculation turns into a furnace of obsession. He doesn't find a grieving ex-lover. He finds a woman who has become a lioness, and two children who are the perfect, sapphire-eyed images of himself. Julian doesn’t ask for forgiveness. He demands a debt. He drags Elara from the gutters of Brooklyn into the heights of his glass palace, forcing her into a Marriage of Convenience. He wants his heirs. He wants his revenge. And most of all, he wants to possess the woman who dared to make a fool of him. But Julian has forgotten one thing: a woman who has already survived death has nothing left to fear. As Elara steps back into the world of the elite, she isn't there to play the dutiful wife. She is a Trojan horse in a red silk dress, ready to dismantle the Vance empire from within.

She was hidden from who she really was until it was time for her to come of age to find if she was a werewolf or a humane. She never wanted to be who killed her mother. To find her death wasn't what she was told. That she is mated to no one other than to the son of man that killed her mother.

"Sa pagkakaalam ko ay sa ibang bahay na daw si Sir Lucian umuwi! Pakiramdam ko ay doon 'yon sa kabit nya!" Rinig kong ani ng isa sa mga kasambahay namin. "Hala! Edi grabi naman pala ang sakit non kay Ma'am Ivy. Sa pagkakaalam ko ay hinahatiran sya ni Manang ng pagkain kaso nagiimpake na ata sya para umalis." Tumingin ako sa labas ng bintana sa kalagitnaan ng gabi. Nakakapagod at nakakalungkot isipin ang mga bagay na pinagdaanan ko sa bahay na ito. Hindi ko alam kung makakaya ko pa ba, daig ko pa ang isang aso na naghihintay sa amo nya umuwi na sa ibang bahay pala nagpapahinga. Pinangako ko sa kanya at sa harap ng panginoon na sya lang at wala ng iba, magiging mabuting asawa ako sa kanya at sa magiging pamilya namin at higit sa lahat hinding-hindi ako magiging sagabal o magiging dahilan ng paghihirap nya.

MATURED CONTENT!!! “ I could smell how much you want us.” I moaned, my body arching against his touch. I felt hands on my body, fingers tracing the curves of my breasts, my hips, my thighs. I shivered in pleasure, my body on fire. Ryker leaned in, his breath hot against my ear as he whispered, "You have no idea how badly we've been longing for this. Caspian chuckled darkly, his large hand cupping one of my breasts. "Mmm, and what a sight you are. So wet for us already." Thane's voice was a rumble in his chest as he ran his fingers along my inner thigh. “I could taste your desire, even in your sleep. You've been craving our touch."

Forced into the lowest class due to a suppressed wolf form, Aria endures humiliation, cruelty, and punishment just to earn her freedom from her manipulative stepmother’s grasp. But Aria isn’t weak.

When she crosses paths with the untouchable Apex brothers, sparks fly, tempers flare, and forbidden bonds begin to form. Cold and brooding Kaid. Flirtatious and broken Ryker.

As a deadly rogue faction emerges and secrets buried in blood and betrayal come to light, Aria must embrace the monster she was told to fear… or lose everything. Fate gave her four mates.

In the glittering coastal city of Lumine Bay, where wealth hides corruption and power is protected by shadows, Elara Moretti appears to have the perfect life as the wife of billionaire Damon Moretti. But behind the luxury, her marriage is cold, controlled, and full of locked rooms she has never been allowed to enter.
