"Siguro pwede naman nating gawin ito bilang isang beses lang." Sabi niya, "Halos nangyari na ito dati..." Ngunit mabilis niyang pinigil ang sarili at sa halip ay nagsabi, "Hindi naman malalaman ng nanay ko, bibiyaan kita." Sabi niya, tila lubhang desperado. "Hindi mo maiiwasang humiling pa ng higit pa, Scarlet," Mahinang pagtatalo ni Adrian. "Kung ganun, hindi naman ako makakasala kung gawin ko 'yon." Matapang niyang ipinagtatanggol. "Ibig sabihin, bakit hindi mo na lang iwan ang nanay ko at makipag-date ka na lang sa mga kapantay mong edad? O sa tingin mo ikaw lang ang kasintahan niya? Marami siyang lalaking handang tumulong sa kanya, at sa huli, iiwan ka niya. Ako naman ang may pera." "Hindi ako nagmamalasakit sa pera." Patuloy na mariin na sabi ni Adrian. "Alam kong wala itong kinalaman sa tunay na pag-ibig. Ano ba talaga ang gusto mo sa nanay ko? Ano ba ang hawak mo sa kanya?"   Si Scarlet Davenport, isang mayamang hariessa at ang tanging nabubuhay na anak na babae ng isang biyuda at mapagmahal na sa mga lalaki na si Vivian Davenport, ay nagising nang makilala si Adrian Hartfield—ang lalaking agad niyang nainlaban matapos silang magkita sa isang club—bilang posibleng bagong tatay niya. Sa unang pagkakataon sa kanyang kabataan, napagtanto niyang maaaring kailangan niyang labanan ang lahat ng mga hadlang para ipaglaban ang kanyang prinsipe kahit na mangahulugan ito ng paggamit ng mga paraan ng pang-uakit para makuha si Adrian. Kapag napansin ng mga masasamang pwersa ang mga kahinaang ito ng kanilang pamilya at magpasya itong samantalahin para sa kanilang sariling kapakinabangan, mauunawaan kaya nina Adrian at Scarlet ang kanilang pinagsama-samang lakas nang sapat na maaga? Malalampasan kaya nila ang mga pagsubok?

The day my cancer is diagnosed, my husband slaps me across the face. "You're vicious! You're even pretending to have cancer just to look more pitiful than your sister!" My son shouts, "Mom is horrible! I hate Mom!" I don't cry or make a scene. I quietly put the test results away and choose a grave for myself. In 15 days, I'll leave this city to die somewhere else in peace. I won't even give them the chance to regret it.

‘’Damn, they sent a perfect b***h,’’ he spoke while he loosen his tie. The Aphrodisiac was already taking a very strong effect on Daniel, the wholesome billionaire, and he couldn’t hold himself back anymore. ‘’You invited me with your open legs. I will make sure to satisfy you,’’ he spoke in his raspy seductive voice and climbed over her. Grabbing her exposed milky white leg, he started moving his hand upwards from her thigh, creasing her soft skin, giving goosebumps to her. She felt a tingling sensation she never felt before. His eyes locked on her blossom, which was rising and falling with her heavy breaths. He placed his lips on her neck, giving her a nice love bite, making her bite her lips to stop that shameful moan escaping her mouth.

"You think you can just leave without a trace after what happened that night?" His hands pinned her arms above her head, his piercing blue eyes boring into hers. "W-what do you mean?" she stuttered, his scent reminding her of that night—the night that had changed her life completely. "What do I mean? Are you seriously asking me that, woman? If your brain can't recall how we burned together on that bed, how about I remind you right here?" His face was dangerously close as he growled into her ear. Her eyes widened. He meant it. Every single word. He was the king of the entertainment world, after all. "Let me go," she demanded stubbornly, her voice barely audible. He let out a low, dark chuckle that sent a chill down her spine. "Let you go? Oh, I'll let you go, Tatiana. But not until you understand the consequences of crossing paths with me." •••••••••• In the world of the entertainment industry, we see constant change and creativity. Trends come and go, as do collaborations between artists and producers. This world can make anyone wish to be a part of it—it is said to be inspiring and enjoyable... Meanwhile, that's only on the surface. The same world is filled with deceit, betrayal, fake love, ruthless competition, toxic fans who could ruin you, suicide, and dissatisfaction... This world is mostly dominated by men. How can a woman, hurt by this world, face it—especially when she had a night and her life tangled with the king of them all?

An unscrupulous company discharges toxic wastewater into the river, causing my whole family to be poisoned because we rely on that river for survival. Everyone in my family, including my aunts and uncles, lives in the same village. We're all waiting for an urgent antidote delivery to save our lives. My boyfriend is Harrison Somers, and his company is the only one with the antidote. So, I ask him for it. He agrees to come but doesn't show up after a long time. Ultimately, my family members die after being tormented by the toxic wastewater because they don't have the antidote. Meanwhile, Harrison shows up at the hospital with his childhood sweetheart because she accidentally sliced her finger while peeling a fruit.

The day I confirmed my mate at twenty, I was stunned to find the Moon Goddess had arranged two mates for me. Alpha Amos put their photos in front of me: two heirs to the pack’s Alpha line. One was the proud and powerful Glen Wolfe, the elder brother, famed as the strongest werewolf in the north. The other was the quiet and mysterious Ryan Wolfe, the younger brother everyone whispered about because he still hadn’t awakened his wolf; they called him a useless runt. “This is the Moon Goddess’s decree,” Alpha Amos said solemnly. “Whoever you choose will be your mate and the next Alpha of the pack.” Without hesitating, I chose the younger brother, Ryan. My choice shocked everyone. After all, everyone knew I was madly in love with Glen and that I would only ever marry him. However, they did not know the truth. In my last life, I’d chosen Glen, only to discover he was having an affair with his secretary, Fawn Albertson. Alpha Amos flew into a rage and banished Fawn from the pack. Glen, convinced I had betrayed him behind his back, turned his hatred on me. From then on, he deliberately made a show of being intimate with his mistresses in front of me, forcing me to taste the pain of the mate bond. I was tormented and humiliated by those mistresses until I felt less than dirt. When my unborn pup was poisoned by one of them and died, I couldn’t take it any longer. I chose to end my life. I never expected the Moon Goddess to give me a second chance. This time, I resolved to step aside so that Glen could be happy with Fawn. However, he had also been sent back in time to relive his life, and instead of calm, he broke down.
