Bullied relentlessly at school, especially by the Alpha twins—Lucas and Liam—who torment her with cruel nicknames, she endures the abuse because she knows she’ll escape it all on her eighteenth birthday.

"This is exactly why I brought you here,” Andrei growls as he closes the distance between us at that very moment. Before I could process how he had gotten here or his words, he slammed me against the wall with his body pressing in on me as he crashed his lips against mine with a terrifying force. He bites my lips harshly, causing me to yelp, and he uses that opportunity to slide his tongue into my mouth, giving me a taste of heaven. My wolf hummed in happiness as it threatened to leap out the moment Andrei’s hands moved over my body, starting from my collarbone to my breast and even further down. As much as I hated him, I loved every feeling and thing he was doing to me, and I pressed my body against his, mindlessly lost in the moment, and the only thing that existed right now was him and his hands that were trailing even lower until I could feel his warm palm on my stomach. I moaned as I returned the kiss, raising my flaying hands to get some support. The sound was like a switch to Andrei as his body froze over, and he broke the kiss immediately. "That. Is exactly why I'm keeping you." He said with a low throaty chuckle as he stepped away from me, his eyes burning with a fierce light. Andrei was not just one of my Masters. He is the Devil.

Lumaki si Calista Althea Chiu sa isang makapangyarihan ngunit istriktong Chinese family—kung saan ang tradisyon ay batas at ang babae ay kailangang sumunod, kahit masaktan. Mayaman ang pamilyang kinalakihan niya, ngunit sa likod ng karangyaan, isa siyang bihag ng sariling kapalaran. Sa tatlong magkakapatid, siya ang nag-iisang babae at middle child—tahimik, masunurin, at laging isinasantabi ang sariling damdamin. Ngunit isang gabi, tuluyang nagbago ang lahat. Dahil sa desperadong pangangailangan ng pera ng kanyang kuya at sa malaking pagkakautang ng kanilang pamilya sa makapangyarihang Wang family, isang lihim na kasunduan ang isinagawa. Isang desisyong hindi niya kailanman pinili. Ibinenta si Calista bilang isang “regalo” sa kaarawan ng lalaking minsan na niyang nakita sa Shanghai—ang malamig at misteryosong billionaire heir ng Monaco, si Marcus Romanov. Para kay Marcus, ang lahat ay transaksyon. Ngunit kahit pilitin niyang limutin, hindi niya maalis sa isip ang gabing pinagsaluhan nila. Para kay Calista, iyon ang gabing ninakaw ang kanyang kinabukasan. Hindi nila namamalayan, unti-unti silang nahuhulog sa isa’t isa—isang damdaming isinilang sa gitna ng kapangyarihan, katahimikan, at mga lihim na pilit itinatago. Ngunit may isang lalaking hindi handang bumitaw. Si Lixin Wang, ang mayamang Chinese heir at lalaking itinakdang pakasalan si Calista, ay handang ipaglaban ang paniniwalang pag-aari niya ito—kahit sa pamamagitan ng takot at kapangyarihan. Sa pagitan ng tradisyon at pag-ibig, obligasyon at kalayaan, kailangang pumili ni Calista: manatiling babaeng isinuko ng pamilya, o labanan ang kapalarang ipinataw sa kanya—kahit pa kapalit nito ang kanyang puso.

He gazed into her eyes and bluntly declared, "Our marriage is nothing more than a deal." Meeting his gaze with fierce determination, she retorted, "As long as it protects my family and guarantees their safety, I will reluctantly put my signature on that document." Trapped in an unwanted marriage, Diego and Gabriella found themselves entangled in an arranged marriage they never wanted. Would their love flourish amidst the vows they exchanged? Or would they coexist as enemies beneath one shared roof?

Sold to the highest bidder to pay off a blood feud, I never imagined I would be the pawn in my father's fatal game. Still, here I am before Enzo De Luca, the most vicious mafia leader in the city. Though appealing, he is cold, deliberate, and as lethal. Though my heart races just from his proximity, it is his touch that ignites me. My body betrays me and reacts to him in ways I am powerless over. And I melt as he softly, commandingly says my name. Enzo loves neither me nor another. In his deadly kingdom, I am only another bargain, another transaction. But every time we are alone, the conflict between us snaps—desire becomes a terrible addiction. Although I detest him for everything he stands for, I yearn for the way he consumes me, body and soul. He has made it quite evident—our marriage is more about power than love. Still, every angry gaze and every snatched moment in the shadow reveals something different. Benevolent underneath his icy façade lies something broken that appeals to the darkest sides of me. But depending on a man like Enzo may mean losing everything. Bound to him now, for better or worse, I am caught in a world where loyalty is brittle and treachery carries a bullet. Our friendship gets more perilous the more truths about his empire I find. And as the past calls for us, I have to question myself: will our passion be the thing that ruins us both or can I survive loving a guy like Enzo De Luca? Burning in his arms is me. But in his universe, I could roast alive.
