To Marry A Monster

Sa mismong araw ng kanilang kasal, imbes na sa harap ng altar, ay sa presinto dinala ng kanyang mapapangasawa si Irene Casareo upang pagbintangan sa isang kasalanang hindi niya ginawa. Doon din niya nalaman ang pagta-traydor nito sa kanya kasama ang stepsister nito. Baon ang galit at poot, ay tatlong taon niyang tiniis ang pagdurusa sa loob ng kulungan. Sa kanyang paglaya, hindi pa man siya nagtatagal sa labas, ay nasuong na siya sa isang madugong engkwentro. Doon niya nakilala si Kristoff Montecillo; isang makapangyarihang lalaki mula sa underworld, at tiyuhin ng ex-fiancee niyang si Dave Montecillo. Niligtas siya nito mula sa mga armadong lalaki, at bilang kabayaran ay niyanig nito ang mundo niya sa pamamagitan ng isang halik. Ang lalaki rin ang naging daan kung bakit nailigtas ang puri niya mula sa matandang huklubang nais kumuha ng kanyang pagkabirhen. Ngayong may utang na loob na siya kay Kristoff, papayag ba siyang maging fiancee nito kapalit ng ilang ulit na pagliligtas nito sa kanya? O, papayag siya upang gamitin ito sa paghihiganti sa mga taong nakapanakit sa kanya?

"Are we getting married for real?" Dahil sa hirap ng buhay, walang ibang solusyon si Zia Wisley kundi maghanap ng mayamang lalaki. Bagamat hindi problema sa kaniya ang itsura, inaasahan niyang matandq at matabang lalaki ang kaniyang papakasalan ngunit malayo si Christian Vandelmor sa kaniyang inaasahan. Isa siyang bilyonaryo at tila naghahanap din ng babaeng magpapanggap bilang asawa niya. Magiging matagumpay kaya sila sa mga personal nilang plano? Hanggang kailan kaya magkakabisa ang kanilang kasal kung ganoong may kontrata silang kailangang sundin.

On what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, Irene Casareo’s wedding turned into her worst nightmare. Instead of walking down the aisle, her groom dragged her to the police station, accusing her of a crime she never committed. It was there she discovered his betrayal—he had conspired against her with his own stepsister. Consumed by rage and despair, Irene endured three agonizing years behind bars. Upon her release, freedom barely had time to settle in her lungs when she found herself caught in a bloody crossfire. That was when she met Kristoff Montecillo—a powerful man from the underworld, and the uncle of her ex-fiancé, Dave. He saved her from the armed men, but demanded a different kind of payment: he shook her world with a single, unexpected kiss. And when a lecherous old man tried to rob her of her innocence, it was Kristoff who shielded her once again. Now bound by a debt of gratitude, Irene faces an impossible choice: should she agree to become Kristoff’s fiancée in return for his repeated rescues, or should she say yes only to use him as a weapon in her quest for vengeance against those who shattered her life?
