Valentines Week 2025

Under my parents' request, I work as the finance officer in my childhood friend, Julius Sanford's company. But the moment he goes on a business trip, the new intern, Lizzie Dalton, rushes into my office and demands that I process her reimbursements. As I stare at the pile of receipts that come from luxury stores, all I feel is shock. "Lizzie, I can only use the company's funds to reimburse business expenses. Why are you asking me for reimbursements when all you did was buy clothes and bags of your own?" But as soon as my words fall, Lizzie splashes a cup of coffee at me instantly. "I'm the lady boss of this company! The company's funds are my funds too! Don't think you can just reject my receipts just because you know my husband!" I do my best to suppress my fury as I dig out the company's policy and reiterate, "No, I seriously cannot do that. The company's cash flow must be reflected in the books." Seeing as I refuse to yield to her no matter what, Lizzie calls Julius on the phone and begins whining to him. "Babe, since when do I need to ask your childhood friend for approval if I want to buy something I like for myself? Or could it be that she's acting so assertively because you two are secretly having an affair?" Julius panics and tells Lizzie that he has nothing to do with me. After that, he quickly releases an announcement on the company group just so he can defend Lizzie. "Lizzie Dalton is my wife! She's the second boss of this company other than me!" After that, Julius tags me in the group. "Hey, finance! You're not my mom here! I don't like you, so please stay out of my private matters! "I'd like nothing more than to let my own wife spend my own money! If you don't like that, you can pack up and leave!" Once Julius makes his stance clear, I change my tune and reimburse Lizzie the expenses she's claimed. But one week later, Julius finds himself staring at the list of debts that's 33 feet long when he returns from his business trip.

In our pack, every werewolf can create one moon stone in their lifetime. These stones can enhance our wolf's power and are crucial for becoming Alpha. In my past life, I worked tirelessly to craft my moon stone. I wanted to become our pack's Alpha more than anything. But on the day of the Alpha selection, something went terribly wrong. After absorbing my moon stone's power, I couldn't control my wolf. Instead, my wolf submitted to Katherine, my mate's stepsister. Katherine hadn't always been part of our pack. When she was alone and vulnerable, my mate, Beta Ethan, had convinced me to accept and care for her. The pack erupted in cheers as Katherine became the new Alpha. Ethan, who had always claimed to love me deeply, proposed to Katherine in front of everyone. They sealed it with a passionate kiss. Suddenly, I was public enemy number one. Everyone accused me of stealing Katherine's moon stone, saying that's why I couldn't control its power. Even Ethan, my mate, looked at me with disgust. "Thief," he spat, severing our mate bond on the spot. The pack turned on me. They chased me down, their teeth tearing into my flesh. As I lay dying, my body broken and bleeding, I saw Ethan and Katherine together. They nuzzled each other, whispering sweet nothings while my life ebbed away. In my final moments, I realized a cruel truth. While Ethan's wolf was my fated mate, his human heart belonged to Katherine. But even as death claimed me, I couldn't understand. How could the moon stone I crafted serve Katherine instead? Then, darkness. And light again. I opened my eyes to find myself back in time, one week before the Alpha selection. This time, I made a different choice. Instead of crafting a moon stone, I left the pack to train alone in the volcano. Ethan's voice filled my head through our mind link. He demanded to know why I'd left the pack at such a crucial time. I cut the connection without a word. Shifting into my wolf form, I jumped into the lava.

Ako si Anne Villar Tambalos, 25 years old. May nobyo ako for 3 years at may balak na kaming magpakasal. Sya si Conrad Lim, galing sa mayamang angkan sa Bohol. Akala ko ay ito na ang lalaking para sa akin pero hindi pala.  Nahuli ko itong nagmu-mukbang sa talaba ng ibang babae. Labis akong nasaktan dahil dalawang buwan na lang ay kasal namin.  Lahat sama ng loob ay sinabi ko sa'kin ina. Kaya agad akong pinayuhan na mag-move on ako, dahil hindi lang ito lalake sa mundo.  Kahit masakit ay kinailangan kong mag-move on sa kabiguan ng pag-ibig.  Isang araw niyaya nila akong mag-bar upang mabawasan ang sakit na aking nararamdaman. Agad akong sumama dahil naroon naman si Celyn kaya walang dapat ipag-alala.  Hindi ko alam naparami ang nainom namin. Kaya nagawa kong makipag-siping sa isang estrangherong lalake.  "Congratulations, you're 1 week pregnant!" parang bombang sumabog na aking pandinig. Hindi ko akalain magbubunga pala ang isang gabing pinagsaluhan namin estrangherong lalake. Dahil sa takot nagtago ako dala-dala ang aming anak sa aking sinapupunan at umalis patungo sa Maynila kasama ang aking kaibigan.  Masaya sana dahil natakasan ko ang dalawang lalaking naging malaking parte pagbabago sa buhay ko. Pero ang ama aking anak ay syang magiging Boss ko pala. Dahilan upang magkunwari ako na hindi ko ito kilala o nakita man lang.  Siya si Dixon Stanley Floyd, multi- billionaire. Hanggang umeksena ang kanyang ina at pinagbintangan ako ng isang bagay na hindi ginawa. Hindi man lang kasi ako pinagtanggol ni Dixon sa kanyang ina.  Hanggang niluwal ko ang anak namin, na sya namang muling pagpapakita ng aking ex. Humingi ito ng tawad sa kanyang ginawa noong nagtaksil ito sa'kin. Nais itong tumayong ama sa'king anak.  "Hihintayin ko ang sagot mo, babalik ako bukas. Kaya pag-isipan mo ang aking sinabi!" saad nito, saka tuluyang umalis.

Ang misyon lang ni Solenn nung una ay ang akitin ang batang bilyonaryo kaya ito nagtrabaho bilang isang sekretarya sa Walton Corporation. "Anong ibig sabihin nito?" Galit na galit at kunot noo na pagtatanong ng chairman sa harap nila Solenn at Marcus habang dumausdos sa lamesa ang mga stolen shot na mga litrato nilang dalawa na magkasama. "May relasyon kayo? Halos mapatid ang litid ng matanda sa loob ng meeting room na yon. "Mauubusan tayo ng investors sa ginagawa mong kahihiyan?" Hasik pa ng chairman matapos nitong pukpukin ang lamesa na nasa harapan. Nakaramdam ng awa si Solenn sa bilyonaryong boss nya na katabi. Alam nyang wala siyang karapatang maramdaman yon sa lalaki dahil kabahagi siya ng plano at bayad siya para dito. Nakita nyang halos hindi maipinta ang mukha ng binata sa harap ng kanyang lolo. Tumikhim lang si Marcus ng walang kakurap kurap, inayos ang sarili sa pagkakaupo. Itinaas ang ulo mula sa pagkakayuko at hinarap ang chairman. "Solenn!" Buong loob na pagtawag nya sa sekretarya. "Sir?" Tila maamong tupang pagtugon ni Solenn.Walang halos makalabas na boses mula sa kanya. "Ikansel mo lahat ng commitment ko this week," at mataman itong tinitigan ang dalaga sa harap ng matandang lalaki. "Pakakasalan kita, bukas na bukas din." "Ha?" Gulat na gulat na pagtatanong ni Solenn. Nanatili siyang nakatulala sa narinig. Tumayo ng dahan dahan ang binata , naglakad ng mabilis at hinawakan ang door knob ng conference room. "Iuuwi na rin kita sa condo!" Ani ni Marcus bago lumabas ng pinto. Ano daw? Hindi makapaniwala si Soleen sa narinig. Napahawak ang dalaga sa sariling dibdib at nag unahang umagos ang mga luha sa kanyang pisngi na kanina pa nya pilit na pinipigilan. Ano na ang gagawin nya? Gulong gulo siya napahawak sa ulo. Pano na? Pagtatanong pa nya sa sarili.
