Veronica And Vanessa Merrell

Elena diminta untuk menikah dengan Alaric, ketua mafia Black Hold yang terkesan berdarah dingin. Permintaan itu disampaikan langsung oleh Vanessa, istri Alaric yang tengah sekarat di ranjang rumah sakit setelah melahirkan putra mereka. Alaric tidak bisa menolak. Ia menikahi Elena tanpa cinta dan sangat enggan untuk menyentuhnya. Ia bahkan tidak ingin tidur di ranjang yang sama. Alaric menikahi Elena hanya karena permintaan mendiang istrinya, juga sebagai ibu sambung bagi putranya yang sudah menjadi piatu di hari pertama ia dilahirkan. Elena berusaha untuk merebut hati suaminya, tapi satu kesalahan besar membuat Alaric begitu murka dan mengurungnya di ruang bawah tanah. Ia lalai menjaga Daryl, si bayi kecil yang membuatnya terjatuh dari ranjang. Alaric ingin sekali menghabisi Elena karena telah membuat anaknya hampir meregang nyawa, tapi mengingat wasiat istrinya, keinginan itu langsung ia urungkan. Sesekali Elena diberi siksaan agar ia selalu menyesal atas kelalaian yang sudah ia lakukan. Hingga suatu hari Alaric kembali memenjarakan seseorang, pria yang merupakan orang kepercayaannya, tapi terbukti berkhianat. Ia memenjarakan pria itu di ruangan yang sama dengan Elena. Meminta agar pria itu menghamili Elena, sebab ia ingin balas dendam dengan membunuh bayi yang lahir dari rahim Elena sebagai bentuk pelampiasan amarahnya. Namun, apa jadinya ketika pria itu dan Elena malah saling jatuh cinta dan mencari cara agar bisa keluar dari kurungan untuk hidup bersama dengan penuh cinta?

"You understand what it means for you to be mine, right? "He questions, and I swallow. Never breaking eye contact with him. "No... "I admit with my voice trembling. "If you become mine, "He begins, his tone dropping into a seductive growl that sends shivers down my spine. "You won't just be working for me. Your body will belong to me. I'll do whatever I want with you, whenever I want, and however I want. "He says, and as my back hits the wall my stomach drops. "You're not... planning to sell my organs, are you?" I ask, the words spilling out before I can stop them. "No, David, " "I mean, I'll fuck you whenever, wherever, and however I want. You'll be mine. My personal... plaything. Of course, you'll be taken care of. Shelter, food, Vanessa's bills... Everything. However, your main job will be warming my bed. "He says, and my eyes widen in horror. ***** His job was… ‘simple’. To rob him, and run as far as his resources could take him. He didn't plan to get caught. And even if that was a probability, he never expected to be spared. He never expected Salvatore to spare his life and keep him alive as a boy toy. He also didn't expect his straight self to fall for a man. Especially not one as rough, dangerous, and deadly as Salvatore. Are the feelings reciprocated? Or is David just a toy to Salvatore? This is the question that plagues David as he falls deeper and faster for this dangerous, Italian hot cake. Realizing he would do anything for the unpredictable man he had grown to love. When their dangerous world closes in, David must decide. Will he run, or will he risk everything for the man who could break his heart?

I was married to one of the city's richest billionaires, but inside his home, I was just a ghost. Damian never once looked at me with love. Never did he touch me with kindness. He didn't see me as a woman, or even a person. I was just… a stand-in. A stand-in while he waited for someone else to come and my heart broke in silence. But the day he walked into our home with his first love, Vanessa, hand in hand it finally broke for good. I found my strength and I placed a signed divorce papers on his desk. Damian scoffed, his eyes cold. “You’ll regret this. You’ll crawl back. Women like you always do.” I thought he was right. I thought I had no one, nowhere to go, and nothing to live for. Until the black car stopped in front of me. That night, three powerful men stepped out, calling me by a name I didn’t even know was mine. Adrian Valehart, a ruthless tycoon whose eyes were as sharp as steel and silenced a room. Nathaniel Valehart, the cold, brilliant lawyer who never lost a case. And Leo Valehart, the superstar adored by millions. They told me I was, their long-lost sister, the only daughter of a billionaire family. I thought they were wrong. But when Adrian gave me shares worth billions, Nathan vowed Damian would walk away with nothing but shame. Leo wrapped his arm around me and declared to the world, “This is my sister, my one and only.” Everything changed And Damian… Damian refuses to let go. He came crawling back, begging for a second chance. “Please, give me another chance,” he said. But my three overprotective brothers wouldn't let him touch me and his pride will not die quietly.

*Smut After her mate's brutal rejection, healing prodigy Sandra surrenders to a dangerously seductive stranger in a dark alley, only to discover he's her uncle Marcus. Trapped by blackmail in his isolated house, forbidden desire ignites between lessons. But Marcus harbors a deadly secret about her father's death. ----------------- “Fuck, Sandra,” he growled, thumb brushing over my nipple through the fabric until it stiffened, aching. “Vanessa’s right upstairs. If she hears us—” “I don’t care,” I panted, rocking up against him, chasing that thick pressure. “Make me forget today. Just tonight. Please.” I’m going straight to hell,” he muttered, then closed the gap. His mouth took mine slow this time, deliberate, like he was memorizing the taste of me. I sighed into it, hands sliding up his chest to grip his shoulders. He tasted like black coffee and smoke and sin, and I wanted more. He tugged me closer, one hand fisting in my hair, the other splayed low on my back, pressing me against him. Heat flared low in my belly, spreading fast. I shifted, trying to ease the ache between my thighs, and he groaned against my lips, grip tightening. His tongue traced the seam of my mouth; I opened for him instantly, meeting him stroke for stroke until we were both breathing hard. He tilted my head back, lips moving down my throat, teeth grazing the frantic beat of my pulse. I gasped, nails digging into the muscle of his shoulders. “We should stop,” he rasped against my skin, but his hand was already pushing under my thin tank top, calloused palm gliding up my ribs. “We should,” I agreed breathlessly, then dragged his mouth back to mine, kissing him deeper, hungrier.

Si Elena Madrigal, isang sikat at hinahangaang fashion designer, ay kilala sa kanyang Majesty Designs, mga obra na simbolo ng karangyaan at kapangyarihan. Ngunit sa isang iglap, ang mundong itinayo niya ay gumuho sa kamay ng mga taong minsan niyang minahal at pinagkatiwalaan, ang dating kasintahan niyang si Adrian De Leon, na ninakaw at ipinagbili ang kanyang mga disenyo, ang matalik niyang kaibigan na si Vanessa Alcaraz, na nilamon ng inggit, at ang boss niyang ginamit ang kanyang talento para sa sariling ambisyon. Habang unti-unting nabubura ang kanyang pangalan sa industriyang minsan niyang pinasiklab, isang lalaking matagal nang nakamasid sa kanya mula sa dilim ang lumapit. Si Nathan Arguelles, isang makapangyarihan at misteryosong billionaire. Tahimik ngunit mapanganib. May tinig na kayang bumura ng alinlangan. At sa isang boses na malamig at mabigat sa pangako, bumulong ito: “Be mine and marry me, Elena. I’ll give you back the world they stole from you.” Ang kasunduang ito ay hindi tungkol sa pag-ibig, kundi sa paghihiganti. Para kay Elena, ito ang tanging paraan para muling mabawi ang lahat. Ngunit sa ilalim ng mga halik na nilalabanan niya, sa bawat titig na tila binabalatan ang kanyang kaluluwa, unti-unting nagbabago ang laro. Sa pagitan ng pag-ibig at paghihiganti, kailangang  piliin ni Elena kung mananatili ba siya sa apoy ng paghihiganti o hahayaan niyang ang lalaking dapat sana’y biktima lang… ang maging dahilan ng pagbabagong hindi niya inaasahan. Paghihiganti ang dahilan niya…ngunit ang nakaharap niya, ang lalaking kayang baliktarin ang lahat.

— Chefe, sobre o projeto de construção do pátio da fazenda na base do Cazaquistão, eu gostaria de participar. Do outro lado da linha, o chefe demonstrou certa surpresa: — Antes, por mais que eu insistisse, você não queria ir, dizia que queria ficar ao lado do seu namorado. Por que mudou de ideia de repente? Laura Vieira baixou as pálpebras avermelhadas e sorriu, tentando soar despreocupada: — Eu tentei, mas não adiantou. Já sabia que era hora de voltar atrás antes que fosse tarde demais. Ao ouvir isso, o chefe suspirou e falou com seriedade: — Esta é uma operação secreta. Você vai entrar no projeto com uma identidade completamente nova e, até o término, não poderá entrar em contato com o mundo exterior. Laura, você tem certeza de que pensou bem? — Sim, só quero sair daqui o quanto antes. Houve um breve silêncio do outro lado da linha, mas a resposta veio em seguida: — Certo. Mais tarde vou te enviar o acordo de confidencialidade. Os trâmites devem sair em cerca de um mês. Aproveite esse tempo para se despedir da sua família. Assim que a ligação foi encerrada, um arquivo apareceu em sua caixa de entrada. Laura leu todas as cláusulas e, determinada, assinou o acordo eletrônico de confidencialidade, confirmando o envio. Ao mesmo tempo, a televisão reprisava o lançamento do novo produto do Grupo Próspero. Ricardo Barros, vestindo um terno branco de corte impecável, conduzia Vanessa Souza lentamente pela passarela.

“Limang taon mo akong iniwan… akala mo ba papayagan kitang umalis ulit?” Si Isabella Reyes ay isang simpleng sekretarya na nagkaroon ng isang gabing puno ng bawal na pagnanasa kasama ang billionaire mafia boss na si Marcus Villanueva. Isang “mistake” lang daw iyon para sa kanya—pero para kay Isabella, nagbunga ito ng kambal. Nang malaman ni Marcus, pinilit niyang pakasalan siya sa contract marriage. Cold, possessive, at walang pag-ibig—puro galit at hate-sex lang ang namamagitan sa kanila. Natuklasan niya ang betrayal ni Vanessa, ang ex-fiancée na lihim na spy, at nagising ang galit niya. Habang buntis pa, tumakas siya patungong Italy. Doon niya pinalaki ang kambal na sina Mia at Milo bilang single mom, habang lihim na binubuo ang sariling imperyo—bilang ang hidden heiress ng Monteverde clan, karibal na mafia family ng Villanueva. Limang taon ang lumipas. Bumalik siya sa Pilipinas—hindi na mahina, kundi makapangyarihan na CEO na may hawak na sa shares ng Villanueva Empire. Paghihiganti ang nasa isip niya. Pero nang muli silang magtagpo, hindi na makapagpigil si Marcus. Chasing, begging, at intense na passion ang sumunod—habang natutuklasan ang mas malaking lihim: ang kambal ay may mafia bloodline powers, at ang bagong pagbubuntis ni Isabella ay nagbunga ng quadroplets—kasama ang “Stormbringer” na baby girl na may kapangyarihan sa elements. Sa gitna ng digmaan ng tatlong clans—Villanueva, Monteverde, at ang misteryosong Salvatore—lalaban sila para sa pamilya nila. Mula sa isang sinful mistake, magiging eternal obsession ba ang pag-ibig nila? O masisira lahat sa kapangyarihan ng Stormbringer?

The wheat has yet to ripen when my Grandma, Julia Simmon, appears to me in a dream. "There will be a plague of locusts in the autumn. Sell off the produce and raise fish to ensure the family has income." I, Vanessa West, convince my parents to harvest the wheat for grain and feed before irrigating the fields to raise fish. Then, a severe drought strikes and the fish die, leaving my family drowning in debt. We're at a loss to know what to do. Then, Grandma appears in my dreams again. "There are gold bars buried under the oak tree on the hill at our old home. Selling them will sort out our debts and leave you with money to spare." After telling my father, Alan West, this, he digs up a whole crate of heroin. The police happen to be staking out the area. They have him arrested, thinking that he means to buy the drugs. For the amount he gets caught with, he faces life imprisonment. My mother, Hannah Smith, is unable to bear the sight of this and faints on the spot. Again, Grandma appears to me in a dream and offers guidance. "Dr. Hank Vance at Central Hospital can cure her. If you don't hurry, she'll be in danger!" Desperate to save my mother, I threaten Dr. Vance with my life, and he agrees to operate on her. Then, my boyfriend gets into a car accident and urgently needs treatment. However, he succumbs to his injuries due to my asking for Dr. Vance. In the meantime, Mom doesn't receive treatment in time. As she is dying, Mom weeps, asking me why I ruined the entire family. Then, she passes away on the operating table. My boyfriend's parents think I am responsible for their son's death, and they stab me 18 times. While being rushed to the emergency room, I see Grandma again. However, she is grinning maliciously as she plunges a knife into my heart, mimicking the stabs I got from real life and giving me a ruptured heart. I died without understanding why Grandma's appearances led to my family's end. I open my eyes and find out that I've returned to the day Grandma told me to sell our crops.
