The Object Of Affection

At the dinner table, my wife's best friend suddenly speaks to her in Lytian. "Three years ago, you married Julian in a grand wedding just to help Jace get Julian's letter of forgiveness. Over the years, I've seen Julian fall more and more deeply in love with you. Yet, you're still lying to him. "You gave him sterilization pills but passed them off as his depression medication. Aren't you afraid that he'll fall apart if he finds out the truth?" My wife, Erica Inman, briefly shows a conflicted expression on her face. She then gives a bitter smile and says, "A child unwanted by their mother has no reason to be born. As long as Julian doesn't stand in the way of Jace's happiness, I will keep my promise and stay by his side for the rest of his life." No one knows that I've learned Lytian to keep up with Erica. I stand in the living room and look at the fresh kiss mark on my neck. As I glance at the medication I take regularly for my depression, my whole body turns cold. It turns out that all of Erica's affection toward me was fake. What I thought was my salvation turns out to be nothing but a carefully planned deception. Since that's the case, I'll do my part to make sure they all get what they want.

Jane Cameron woke up alone on the bed after her one-night stand with her closest friend in college, Eric Desmond. He disappeared from her life, and she never had the chance to tell him that she's pregnant. Jane thought she was abandoned, and so, she did not find Eric until she gave birth with their son, Eugene. For many years, Jane raised Eugene alone. She worked hard just to survive with her son, but in the end, Jane couldn't give the best life to the child. She regretted all of her decisions until she got into an accident and died. In the verge of death, Jane only wished of one thing. “A second chance to fix her mistakes.” If only she can turn back the time, Jane would find Eric and give the life their son deserves. And the wish happened. The time turned back, and Jane was given the chance to meet Eric Desmond, the billionaire heir of the Geelq corporation, who's already engaged to someone else. Jane does not wish to get Eric's affection as everything happened in the past is just an accident. And so, she made a deal. She won't ask for Eric for marriage, but Eric should give the best life to their son. However, the kind and gentle Eric that she knew, turned out to be a cold and possessive man who put a leash on her neck as soon as they met. It was as if he was desperate. "Who says you can go away from me, Jane? Not this time. Never again.”

" Even if I know I'm going crazy bit by bit, least let me hold your hands. Maybe only then can I stop thinking about you, discard all thoughts about you and go live my life finding someone else." Alyssa's voice trembled uttering such when her heart kept on saying otherwise. After finding out she has just little time to live, Alyssa wishes to fall in love with a man who is the direct opposite of her and most importantly does not wish to be loved back by that person. When she stumbles upon Alex who is dangerously captivating and she claims to be deliciously tempting, she makes her desire to be his Contracted Woman known to him, but taking a good look at Alyssa,he bluntly refuses and tells her he doesn't deal with ladies who aren't pretty, bold and strong. Alex also tells her that he isn't in for love or affection and hates such. Because of this, Alyssa tries everything possible to make him realize that she could also be pretty, strong and bold like he wants her to be and that she would never demand for his love. When he finally agrees, Alex figures out that he is gradually falling madly in love with Alyssa, but all hell are let loose when Alyssa also figures this out and wishes to terminate the contract so as not to leave him in pain when she dies and goes her separate ways.
