Veil Mask

Have you ever lived a life that looked perfect—but felt like nothing? Felt yourself slipping away every day… yet still couldn’t call that life your own? Well, Serena Beckett has. The perfect daughter. The perfect wife. Invisible in her own story. Born into a wealth she was never allowed to claim. Married into a life she didn’t choose, but ended up loving endlessly as she thought she could finally have a thing of her own. Until the night her husband walks in with a stranger… and divorce papers. That night, something breaks in her. And something far stronger takes its place. Serena doesn’t crumble. She doesn’t leave. Not until she decides who she really is—beyond the Beckett name, beyond the lies, beyond the mask she’s worn for far too long. Is she the girl her family tried to tame? The wife Eliot thought he could throw away? Or someone neither of them ever saw coming? And when Eliot finally sees her… Will it be too late?

Sa kaarawan ng anak ko, ang asawa ko ay hiniling sa kanyang first love na sunduin ang anak namin sa bahay. Noong nagpupumilit akong tumanggi na payagan siyang umalis, nagkaroon ng malaking sunog sa hallway habang nag-aaway kami. Tinamaan ako ng mga bumabagsak na piraso ng nasusunog na kahoy, at nagsimulang tumulo ang dugo mula sa ulo ko. Pero, ang anak ko ay ligtas habang nakahiga sa ilalim ko. Ang asawa ko, na bumbero, ay iniligtas kami. Pero ang binigyan niya ang nag-iisang gas mask sa kanyang first love. “Mahina ang pangangatawan ni Miss Leia. Ama, pakiusap ilabas mo muna siya. Ma, hintayin mo na iligtas ka ng ibang mga bumbero!” Pinanood ko silang umalis habang nakangiti ako ng ng mapait. Mukhang pareho na nilang nakalimutan na may matinding asthma ako at ang katotohanang mamamatay ako dahil wala akong gas mask.

It was the perfect deception, my way of punishing her for a lifetime of betrayal.

À 21 ans, Cyra ne rêve pas de contes de fées. Livrée à elle-même depuis l’enfance, elle enchaîne les petits boulots pour fuir une maison où l’amour n’a jamais existé. Entre une mère absente et un beau-père manipulateur rongé par le jeu, elle n’a qu’un seul objectif : s’en sortir. Mais un soir, tout bascule. Drogue, trahison, piège sordide… Cyra se retrouve vendue à un hôtel miteux par celui qui aurait dû la protéger. Elle tente de fuir, de se sauver. C’est là que le destin la frappe de plein fouet. Raphaël, PDG froid et insaisissable, est lui aussi tombé dans un guet-apens orchestré par sa propre famille : drogué, poussé à concevoir un héritier pour préserver l’empire familial.

Arielle Santos 24 years old never imagined that her life would be written for her — even her love story. She was raised in a modest family, a dreamer who painted her hopes in colors only she could see. But one evening, her world collapsed when her parents revealed the truth: to save their family from bankruptcy, she had to marry the son of their business partner — Evan Monteverde, the 28 years old, cold and distant heir of one of the country’s most powerful companies. Evan didn’t believe in love. To him, emotions were distractions — weaknesses that could ruin a man. He had long promised himself never to trust feelings again after being betrayed by someone he once loved. So when his father announced his arranged marriage with a woman he barely knew, he didn’t protest for love’s sake — only to end the endless lectures about “duty” and “family legacy.” Their wedding day was perfect — at least in the eyes of the guests. But behind the veil and the smiles, two strangers stood at the altar, reciting vows they didn’t mean. The words “I do”echoed in the church, but neither of them truly did. After the ceremony, they made a deal — they would live together for one year, play their roles for the sake of appearances, and then quietly separate. No love. No expectations. Just peace. But peace was harder to keep than they thought.

Les trois fils de la famille Dubois, qui m'avaient toujours chérie plus que tout, ont disparu quand la tumeur cérébrale maligne m'a torturée. L'opération risquait de me faire perdre la mémoire. Ne voulant pas les oublier, je leur ai téléphoné pour demander de l'aide. Mais après qu'ils ont raccroché, ils m'ont reprochée sans cesse : « Chloé, c'est l'anniversaire de Judia aujourd'hui, arrête de nous déranger ! » Je me suis évanouie de douleur. À mon réveil à l'hôpital, j'ai vu le message de Judia sur mon téléphone. « Chloé, les frères m'ont offert trois talismans de protection ! » Sur la photo, on voyait les trois talismans que j'avais obtenus pour eux, après sept heures à genoux sous la pluie. Mon cœur s'est brisé. Je suis partie seule à l'étranger et a subi l'opération pour les oublier. Jusqu'au jour où trois hommes inconnus se sont agenouillés devant chez moi, suppliant frénétiquement mon pardon.
