By year's end, I'd closed a huge deal and snagged a $2.5 million bonus. The company even sent me on early maternity leave—nice perk for being eight months pregnant. Pauline found me lounging on the couch. "Why aren't you at work?" I cracked a joke. "Got fired. Guess I'll be stuck here playing housewife." Her response? A slap across my back. "Then get off and do the laundry! You're having a girl, not a son, and you think you can sit around like some princess?" My husband, Logan, walked in right then. He just pulled her into the nursery. Feeling hurt, I switched on the hidden cameras I'd secretly installed. I thought maybe he'd defend me. Yeah, no. What I uncovered? It was so much worse. Twisted secret after twisted secret.

Isang call girl si Frances. Hindi niya iyon ikinahiya sa maraming tao dahil alam niyang doon siya kumukuha ng kaniyang pantustos sa kaniyang araw-araw na pangangailangan. Bagaman sa sex at pera lang din naman ang umiikot ang buhay niya. Pero isang araw na may tumawag sa kaniyang Amerikano na nagngangalang Jony. Para sa isang gabi, paparausan siya nito, isang malaking halaga ang ibabayad nito. Hindi na nagpakipot si Frances. Pera at sex lang ang nasa isip niya at iyon ang kagustuhan niya. Bagaman, hindi niya alam na dahil sa kliyente niyang si Jony, unti-unting nagbago ang kaniyang buhay. Jony is a clingy, sweet, annoying, and wild. Ito rin ang dahilan kung bakit nalilito na siya sa kaniyang sarili dahil ang sabi nito, ito ay ang kaniyang asawa. Gayunpaman, hindi siya naniniwala. Lalo pa ay wala naman siyang naalala na naikasal siya sa isang Jony Guevara.

Anggur merah mengalir perlahan menyusuri leherku yang jenjang, turun hingga ke tulang selangka, lalu ke bagian dadaku yang putih dan berisi. Cairan merah itu membasahi kedua buah dadaku, sebagian mengalir ke celah yang dalam di antaranya, lalu merembes ke kemeja putih yang kukenakan. Pakaianku pun menempel erat di tubuhku, membuat dua tonjolan lembut di dadaku tampak samar di baliknya. Tubuhku mulai bergetar pelan karena gugup, tetapi di saat yang sama, ada sensasi tegang yang sulit dijelaskan. Ini pertama kalinya aku dengan sadar mencoba menggoda pria lain selain suamiku.

Nang makapagtapos si Charm ng kolehiyo sa England, bumalik agad siya ng Pilipinas para surpresahin ang kapatid na si Clara. Ngunit laking gulat niya nang matuklasan niyang apat na taon nang patay ang kanyang kapatid, at wala siyang ideya tungkol dito, at hindi rin ito ipinaalam sa kaniya ng mga kamag-anak nila. Kaya naman, nag-imbestiga siya tungkol sa nangyari sa kanya. Marami ang nagsasabi na ito ay nagpakamatay, ngunit naniniwala siya na hindi kailanman iisipin ni Clara na magpakamatay, at sa tingin niya ay kusa siyang pinatay. Hindi siya tumigil sa paghahanap at pagresolba sa krimen hanggang sa napagtanto niyang may tatlong lalaki na hinihinalang pumatay sa kanyang kapatid. Pero hindi lang sila ordinaryong tao na pwedeng lapitan at kausapin. Kaya, ang tanging naiisip niya ay ang pasukin ang kanilang misteryosong buhay. Plano niyang akitin ang tatlong lalaki na alamin ang katotohanan sa likod ng biglaang pagkamatay ng kanyang kapatid. Magtatagumpay kaya siya sa kanyang mga plano kung malalaman niya kung gaano kadelikado ang mga taong haharapin niya, o magagawa ba niyang itago ang tunay niyang pagkatao nang hindi nahuhuli ng mga ito?

In the second year of my marriage to Jeffery Sadler, he brought a young woman home. When his eyes met mine, Jeffery smiled carelessly and said, "Naomi, perhaps you should try it too." He added, "After all, young and energetic people are truly different." I knew he was only testing me; he had always enjoyed tormenting and toying with me. But what he didn't know was that this time, I was genuinely tempted. Later, as he stared at the fresh scratch marks on the "young person's" waist and abdomen, his eyes blazed red with anger. "Naomi Sloan," he growled, “Who gave you the audacity to actually take this seriously?”

I was once the pack's strongest beta. I broke my wolf saving my mate, Alpha Damon. I lost my hearing. I lost our mind link. But Damon never treated me like I was broken. He learned sign language for me. He made sure the whole pack respected me as their Luna. Our daughter was sweet and perfect. She always showed me how much she loved me. Then one day, it happened. My hearing returned. The mind link snapped back into place. I was so excited. I wanted to tell Damon and Lily at the full moon ceremony. Instead, I heard them. Lily, my precious daughter, talking to Damon on our link. "Daddy, the cripple is still carrying my brother. When can we bring Momma Elara home? I want her to be our real Luna!" That’s when I knew. My daughter. The son in my womb. They were never mine. They belonged to Elara. Elara was a half-breed omega. She couldn't carry an Alpha’s pups. I was just a surrogate. A living incubator. Damon fed me poison to make me barren. Then he used black magic to implant his lover's child inside me. I trembled. Tears streamed down my face. Damon betrayed me. I would burn his entire world to ash. Then, I would vanish from his life forever.
