Titan Smile Aot

In my tenth year of marriage, my old childhood friend, Joshua Sears, posts a photo on social media. Both Joshua and my wife, Sabrina Lawson, are hugging his son, Andy Sears, and my daughter, Tiana Jenkins, in it. The four of them look very close to each other. The caption accompanying the post says, "Blessed to have the perfect son and daughter." I leave a comment below the post, saying, "Looking good together." A few seconds later, the post is deleted. The next morning, Sabrina rushes home and yells at me. "Ashton Jenkins! Joshua was finally feeling better for once. Why did you have to trigger him again?" Tiana shoves me hard and snaps in an accusatory tone, "It's all your fault that Andy's crying now!" I take out a copy of the divorce agreement and slam it down before them. "Yes, it's all my fault. That's why I'm stepping out of the picture now. Then, the four of you can form the wholesome family you've always wanted."

Sa mismong araw ng aming kasal, ang childhood sweetheart ni Hansel Lennox na si Nara Sullivan, ay nagbantang tatalon mula sa isang gusali. Hindi niya ito pinansin at itinuloy ang kasal. Ngunit nang talagang tumalon si Nara, saka siya nag-panic. Simula noon, palagi na siyang pumupunta sa simbahan, unti-unting naging isang deboto. Pinipilit pa niya akong bigkasin ang mga banal na kasulatan at lumuhod habang nagdarasal—lahat sa ngalan ng pagsisisi sa aking mga kasalanan. Dahil sa kanya, nawala ang aking anak. Sa araw na nakunan ako, gusto ko nang makipag-divorce. Ngunit sinabi niyang pareho naming pinagkakautangan si Nara, kaya dapat kaming magsisi nang magkasama. Ginamit niya ang aking pamilya upang takutin ako at panatilihin sa kanyang piling. Inaksaya ko ang buong buhay ko para sa kanya. Ngunit pagmulat ko ng aking mga mata, bumalik ako sa mismong araw ng aming kasal. Sa pagkakataong ito, ako mismo ang magtutulak kay Hansel kay Nara. Ako naman ang magpapahirap sa kaniya.

For twenty years, Kyle and I were each other’s salvation. On the day he confessed his feelings, he promised to give me a warm and loving home. However, everything changed when the Gill family found him and brought him back, naming him the Crown Prince of High Society. Overnight, I went from being his proud fiancée to nothing more than his hidden canary in a gilded cage. With another woman in his arms, his voice was cold and distant, “The eldest young master of the Gill family can’t marry an orphan.” At that moment, my heart shattered completely. I left the capital that very night. Later, I heard I had become the Gill family’s unspoken taboo. That once-proud Young Master Gill ended up confined to a mental institution, clinging to a doll and whispering my name day after day.

On the day of our wedding, Maverick Lowe sacrificed me as bait to save his childhood sweetheart, Janet Stewart, from her kidnappers. I was left behind, brutally tormented by the gang. The next day, the entire internet was flooded with indecent videos of me. Maverick publicly branded me a disgrace, broke off our engagement in front of everyone, and soon after, paraded Janet as his bride. While I was drowning in despair, my childhood friend Alfred Hawkins confessed his love. He said he had always cared for me, and vowed to shelter me from every storm. With him by my side, I slowly climbed out of that darkness. We married, and soon after welcomed our daughter, Ruby. The three of us built a life of simple, perfect happiness. Until one day, I stumbled upon Janet sobbing in Alfred's arms. Between tears, she choked out, ''The doctor said… without a matching heart, Yoana won't last another month…'' Yoana, her little girl, had been born with a congenital heart defect. Alfred's hand lingered tenderly on her shoulder as he whispered. ''Don't cry. I told you, Ruby's heart was always meant for Yoana. ''After her birthday, I'll arrange the accident. Then Ruby will be delivered straight to the hospital…''

Marion Yuna "Mayu" Selvestre is the result of a betrayal. Thirsty for her parents' love, the girl asked for nothing but to be part of her father's or mother's family. But that became more ambiguous after she was chosen as the fiancée of a prominent billionaire, whom both her half-sisters wanted. Her parents could not accept it, for they were also after the billionaire. And her wish became more vague when she became pregnant due to a one-night mistake with the man. In fear that her parents would abort her baby and in fear of the man finding out that she was pregnant, she left their town and moved around every time she was caught by him. Even if she is afraid of life, Mayu is even more afraid that the cunning and monster Aldo Hendrix Castellanos will take her son away from her.

Si Marion Yuna "Mayu" Selvestre ay bunga ng isang kataksilan. Uhaw sa pag-ibig ng mga magulang. Walang hiniling ang dalaga kun'di maging parte ng pamilya ng kanyang Tatay o Nanay. Ngunit iyon ay naging mas malabo matapos siyang mapiling fiancée ng isang kilalang bilyonaryo na parehong gusto ng kanyang mga kapatid. Hindi iyon matanggap ng kanyang mga magulang sapagkat maging ang mga ito ay naghahabol sa bilyonaryo. At mas lalo pang lumabo ang kanyang kahilingan nang siya ay mabuntis dahil sa isang gabing pagkakamali. Sa takot na ito ay ipalaglag ng kanyang mga magulang at sa takot na malaman ng lalaki na siya ay nagdadalang tao, nagawa niyang lumisan sa kinagisnang lugar at magpalipat-lipat pa sa tuwing siya'y nahuhuli nito. Takot man sa buhay ay mas takot si Mayu na kuhanin sa kanya ang anak ng tuso at tinuturing niyang halimaw na si Aldo Hendrix Castellanos.

Isang taon na lang ay graduate na sa kolehiyo si Lorelei Carpio ngunit ayaw ng sustentuhan ng kanyang Tita Agnes ang kanyang pag-aaral simula noong magkaroon ang Tita niya ng live-in partner. Ito ang nagpalaki sa kanya simula noong mamatay ang mama niya ngunit ngayon ay pinapaalis na siya nito sa pamamahay nito. Sa kagustuhang makapagtapos ay pumayag siyang sumali sa isang Sorority na nangakong tutustusan ang pag-aaral niya. Ngunit hindi niya alam na ang pagtanggap sa kanya ay may kapalit na mainit na gabi mula sa leader ng kasapi nilang Fraternity. At mas hindi siya handa matapos magbunga ng kambal ang pangyayaring iyon. Kambal mula sa lalaking hindi niya kilala at ni minsan ay hindi nasilip. Paano niya sasabihin ngayon sa bagong amo niyang si Hector Montanier na isa siyang single mother gayong ang gusto nito ay dalagang sekretarya? "I might require you to work 24/7, so make sure you don't have any extra baggage to attend to. Don't worry, I'll pay you triple or name your price," seryosong saad nito matapos iabot sa kanya ang blankong cheque.

My best friend and I signed up for the Dual Marriage System so the cancer wouldn't kill me. She and I managed to steal the hearts of the Hopkin brothers. Naturally, we became in-laws. Seven years later, my husband's son told me I was dull and useless. Meanwhile, my best friend's husband slammed her behind bars for the sake of his old flame. When she was released, the last thing she told me was, "Live on." Then, she rushed into the oncoming traffic and was crushed into a pulp by a speeding truck.

Daisy Truman's childhood crush, Corey Sager, threatened to jump off a building on our wedding day. She ignored him and went ahead with our wedding. Daisy started to panic when he leaped off the building. From then onward, Daisy moved into a church and became a pious person everyone knew of. She aborted our baby and made me kneel in confession to repent for this so-called sin. I tried to escape, but she ordered my legs to be broken and even used my family to threaten me. I lived a life of misery and torture. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to my wedding day. This time, I would push her into Corey's arms. As for me, it was my turn to become the love that she lost.

My wife transplanted the donor heart I had waited for two years for to the fake heir, Sean Morgan. The doctor said I only had one week left to live, so I decided to freeze my body. I donated my body to Sean's lab. On the day I signed the donation letter, my daughter threw herself into my arms and said I had finally made up with her uncle. My parents praised me for finally understanding the deep bond and mutual support between brothers. My wife said with relief, "You've finally let go of your grudges and become an understanding person." I smiled gently. "Yes, this time I’ve really learned my lesson. I will return the status of the Morgan family heir to Sean and fulfill your wishes.”
