Euphrasia Acosta doesn't believe in fairy tales. She views life solely as a series of trials that one can either succeed at or fail at. So when her father died and she discovered the associated condition of the last will to get her inheritance, she remained resilient. A condition where she has to marry someone before she can use the rights of her inherited land and that leads her to marry Octavious Allejandro the Fifth, a seemingly perfect but domineering man. He was everyone's very own dreamy prince charming. Except for the fact that he is a domineering, workaholic, and possessive man who wants nothing but to possess things. And that includes her. They agreed not to interfere in each other's lives. But her husband does everything to involve himself. And that started the chaos. Chaos between her mind and heart. Chaos with her body and soul. What will be the outcome of their married life, built on a contract, fake relationship, and hidden emotions?

Imagine being kidnapped; being held hostage; being threatened with hunger and violence; surviving with unknown people. Imagine finding a connection, finding love in that oh so terrible prison. Imagine being loved by that love. Imagine being lost, torn away from that love; slapped back to the reality of your fate. Imagine being tortured; the pain not mostly from your own torture, but from the knowledge that the love was somewhere else, somewhere close but far; also being tortured. Imagine your whole life being questioned, threatened to be a lie. Imagine that love being questioned. Imagine being alone. Imagine Love In Bondage.

True love is hard to find but easy to lose and it is almost impossible to replace. Louis was not aware of this reality until he lost Olivia. His first love was pregnant when she slipped out of his hand due to his insensitivity. He came back to his senses and began to chase after her. Unknown to him, she had gotten into the hands of his brother, Denise. She was once his lover but ended up as his only brother's wife. Will Denise let go of her if he discovers their relationship? Will Louis be able to win her back if he finds her?

Ginevra only wanted to be a mother. An anonymous agreement, an unknown donor, and the promise of a new life. But what seemed like a dream quickly turns into a nightmare when she is kidnapped by Valentino Salvatore — a powerful, cruel man determined to take what he believes is his: the child growing inside her. Trapped in a world of poisoned luxury, dangerous silences, and burning stares, Ginevra will fight for her freedom, for her baby… and for her soul not to be swallowed by the darkness within Valentino. Because the real danger isn’t just losing her freedom— it’s losing her heart.

"You're not having me!" I snapped at his face. "Oh, my little sinner." He licked the bottom of his lips with a sinister smirk on his face. "You're already tied to my bed."

On my birthday, my husband of five years accompanied his childhood sweetheart to celebrate her dog's birthday. Avery Simpson published a loving post: [The happiest baby in the world. Mom and Dad will be with you. I hope you're always happy.] Seeing the words "Mom and Dad", I commented a question mark with confusion. The next moment, I found myself blocked. Charles Logan called me and lashed out at me. "Why do you always have to mess things up at the worse possible time? You're worse than a dog. How despicable!" Shortly after, Avery changed her profile picture to one of her and Charles, hands intertwined. When I saw the obvious provocation, I didn't get angry like before. That's because I had already made up my mind to get a divorce.

Isang espesyal kung ituring ang taon na ito para kay Liam Caspian Delacroix, dahil ikakasal siya sa kanyang pinakamamahal nyang babae. At sa nalalapit na ang kasal ay hindi mawawala ang bachelor’s party na inihanda ng kanyang mga kaibigan. At sa kabilang banda, napilitan si Seraphina Acosta na maging substitute dancer sa isang Bachelor’s party. Dahil sa maganda, kaakit-akit, maganda ang hubog ng kanyang katawan, at higit sa lahat ay birhen pa. Kaya talaga namang kahali-halina siya at talagang nililingon sya ng mga kalalakihan.

Power, secrets, and bloodshed, no one is safe in a world built on lies. Rico Blackwood was born into power, but behind the wealth and influence lies a family built on bloodshed and betrayal. When his sister’s murder exposes cracks in the Blackwood empire, Rico is forced to make a choice dig deeper or become the next casualty. Melissa Reynolds should be dead. The world thinks she is. But staying in the shadows is no longer an option. Someone knows she’s alive, and if she doesn’t find them first, her second chance at life will end in a body bag. Catherine Blackwood is the perfect wife, the perfect mother… and the perfect predator. When she learns of a woman from Rico’s past, a woman who should have stayed buried, Catherine is ready to do whatever it takes to protect her throne. And Evelyn Hawthorne? She’s not playing games. She’s waging war. In a city where alliances shift like shadows, secrets are unraveling and bodies are piling up and love is a weapon as deadly as a bullet, survival isn’t guaranteed. Some will rise. Some will fall. And Some will burn!

Sa mata ng lahat, parating pinapagalitan ni David si Helena—his ever so "clumsy" secretary. Pero ang hindi nila alam, hindi naman talaga dahil sa trabaho kung bakit siya parating pinapatawag ni David sa opisina. They’re actually fuck buddies, and Helena doesn’t mind. Kasi kahit bawal, mahal niya si David. Pero isang araw, out of nowhere, sinabi ni David na tapos na sila. Just like that. Wala nang paliwanag, except sa isang bagay na nagpasakit lalo sa puso ni Helena. Ikakasal na siya. At parang hindi pa sapat ‘yon, nalaman ng mommy ni David ang tungkol sa kanila, at kinuha lahat ng meron si Helena. Ang bahay na bigay ni David? Wala na. Ang stability niya? Wala na rin. So wala siyang choice kundi lumayo at kalimutan ang lahat. Pero paano niya kakalimutan kung may iniwan sa kanya si David? She’s pregnant. Years later, nakabangon na rin siya, ready na to start fresh with a man na tanggap siya at ang anak niya. Pero ang plot twist? Ang fiancé niya… half-brother ni David! Anong gagawin niya ngayong muli silang pinagtagpo ng lalaking pilit niyang tinatakasan? Is this fate… or just another heartbreak waiting to happen?
