The Prodigal Son Summary

In the small town of Eastwood, the mysterious disappearance of 12-year-old Daniel from his abusive family had left a void that no one could fill. Over a decade later, Daniel, now a suave, enigmatic billionaire arms dealer, returns to Eastwood with two purposes in mind: to reconcile with his past, particularly with his beloved younger sister, and to wage a secret war against the dangerous underbelly of the town. His first encounter in town is with Kate, a beautiful waitress with a challenging life of her own. They're immediately drawn to each other, sharing a connection that neither can explain. But with this connection come complications: Kate is tied to a world Daniel is fighting against, with a looming arranged marriage to a millionaire who has dark secrets. As Daniel delves deeper into the town's affairs, he uncovers a network of narcotics trade, child traffickers, and corrupt officials. All the while, he keeps his true identity hidden, trying to get closer to his family without revealing himself. Kate becomes both his anchor and his weakness. Her association with the town's malevolent forces, especially her fiancé, threatens to tear them apart. However, as they grow closer, their combined strength becomes a force to reckon with. Throughout their journey, they'll face intense challenges, both from external enemies and internal demons. The town of Eastwood will witness a storm of love, action, betrayal, and redemption. But the question remains: can love truly conquer all, even the shadows of a tortured past?

"MAPAGLARONG TADHANA." Ito lagi ang aking bukambibig sa tuwing binabalikan ko ang masasayang ala-ala ng nakaraan. Ang dati na masayang pamilya na binuo ng aking mga magulang na ngayon ay hindi ko na yata masisilayan pa. MAGDA ang tawag sa akin. Tulog sa umaga, gising sa gabi. Hindi ko ginusto ang kapalaran kong ito. Isang tanikalang bakal na tila nakagapos sa aking mga paa na kahit pilit akong kumawala ay wala akong magawa. Wala na bang pag-asang makaahon sa putik na aking kinalugmukan? Huli na ba ang lahat?

La nuit où le sang de son père a taché le sol, son monde s’est effondré. Traquée pour une dette qui n’était pas la sienne, elle est devenue une ombre, fuyant des hommes décidés à la réduire au silence. Jusqu’à ce qu’il la trouve. Le roi de l’ombre. L’homme que tout le monde craint. Le diable qui décide qui vit et qui meurt. Il la sauve, mais pas par pitié. Son offre est une cage déguisée en luxe—rester à ses côtés, lui obéir, lui appartenir… ou retourner à l’enfer qu’elle a fui. Prise entre un passé qui veut l’enterrer et un homme dont l’obsession brûle plus fort que la vengeance, elle fait face à un choix impossible: se rendre au monstre qui veut la posséder, ou se battre pour une liberté qu’il jure qu’elle n’aura jamais. Mais lorsqu’elle découvre les secrets qu’il dissimule—des secrets capables de détruire son empire—une vérité s’impose: La sauver n’a jamais été sa faiblesse. Elle l’est.

« Dis-moi d’arrêter. » Sa voix était basse, du genre à s’enrouler autour de sa colonne vertébrale et à rendre chaque souffle péché. « Tu ne le feras pas », murmura-t-elle. Il sourit — lent, cruel, dévastateur. « Tu as raison. » Il n’était jamais censé la toucher. Elle n’était jamais censée le désirer. Il y a trois ans, Maddox Steinfeld était devenu le tuteur d’Adeline Monroe — son salut, son filet de sécurité, sa cage. Il était la puissance incarnée : silencieux, discipliné, inébranlable. Le genre d’homme capable de tuer de ses mains et de l’envelopper dans ses bras pour l’endormir avec ces mêmes mains. Mais le désir ne demande pas la permission. Il s’insinue, lent et venimeux, jusqu’à ce qu’un moment volé transforme la protection en possession. À présent, chaque règle qu’ils avaient construite est brisée. Chaque regard, une promesse. Chaque toucher, une menace. Il est l’homme qui avait juré de la protéger. Mais dans le monde de Maddox, la sécurité est un mensonge — et l’amour, le piège le plus dangereux. Parce que lorsqu’il la prendra enfin, ce ne sera pas avec douceur. Ce sera total. Et une fois qu’il l’aura… il n’y aura plus d’échappatoire.

La réapparition de sa fiancée, qu'il croyait morte, fait ressurgir de douloureux souvenirs et des choix impossibles. Coincé entre son amour perdu et la promesse d'un amour naissant, Vladimir doit naviguer dans un monde où ses propres sentiments s'entrechoquent et s'opposent. Alors qu'il est contraint à affronter la réalité, des secrets enfouis et les blessures du passé refont surface, laissant Vladimir dans un dilemme terrible: Son passé ou son présent… Vladimir sera-t-il capable de choisir entre son passé tragique et un présent prometteur, ou sera-t-il condamné à errer éternellement entre deux mondes ?
