“He broke her heart once. Now he’s willing to lose his empire just to win it back.” --- Simula 12 years old pa lang ay minahal na si Talia si Caden Montclair. Kaya nang magkasundo ang kanilang mga pamilya na ipakasal sila sa isa't-isa ay labis-labis ang saya niya. Pero sa loob ng tatlong taon, sikreto silang naging mag-asawa nang hindi nagsasama sa iisang bubong. Bagkus, dalawang beses sa isang buwan ay nagkikita sila ni Caden sa Montclair Villa para punan ang “obligasyon” niya sa asawa at iyon ay maging bed partner nito. Hanggang sa isang araw ay natauhan na lang si Talia. Napagtanto niya na kahit anong gawin niya ay hindi siya magagawang mahalin pabalik ni Caden. Kaya nang magpunta siya sa mansyon ng mga Montclair ay kinausap niya ang asawa at sinabing, “Caden, let's get divorce.” “You’re willing to give up being Mrs. Montclair that easily?” malamig namang tanong ni Caden. “Yes. I already prepared the documents.” Matapos niyon ay umalis na si Talia at hindi na muling nagpakita pa. Pero makalipas ang ilang taon, ay muli siyang nagbalik bilang isang babaeng may dignidad, puno ng kumpiyansa, at kinikilala sa buong bansa. At ngayon, si Caden Montclair naman ang naghahabol sa kanya at humihingi ng second chance. The man who once ignored her now can’t stop chasing her. But Talia has finally learned something he never did— love without respect isn’t love at all.

My girlfriend is an heiress from the upper class of Jetland, and she is worth tens of billions of dollars. In order to test me, she has never spent a single cent on me, nor given me any presents during the seven years that we have been together. She even splits the bill with me when we buy rubbers. After my mother falls severely ill, I borrow all the money that I can from all my family and friends. I only need two thousand dollars more to afford my mother's operation. However, even when I beg my girlfriend to lend me money, she refuses. After my mother passes away, I take care of everything on my own. When I go home to pack my things, I accidentally come across a list of presents that she has bought for our neighbor, whom she treats like a younger brother. These gifts include a luxury villa, a designer watch, and haute couture suits. There is also an audio recording of her conversation with her best friend. "Tessie, I heard that Ethan begged you so he could borrow two thousand dollars from you. Is that true?" Tessa Seinfeld snorts, and her voice rings out carelessly. "Zeke's right. Only a leech would go down on his knees just for two thousand dollars. We've only been together for seven years, and he's already so eager to get money out of me." In the end, our seven years of relationship mean nothing. It only takes a provocative comment from her neighbor, Zeke Palmer, for everything to fall apart. But it doesn't matter. From the moment my mother died, I have already decided to leave Tessa.

I hadn't seen my mafia husband, Luca Moretti, and our daughter Dora in three whole months. Why? Because his mother, Fiona, said Dora should stay with her "for a while." And Luca? He was "too busy with business," as always. So when Luca finally called and said he was going to pick me up for a family reunion at the villa, I was overjoyed. I thought maybe, just maybe, I'd finally get to hold my little girl again. I spent the whole damn day running around the city, buying her favorite dolls, snacks, a new pink dress, anything I thought would make her smile at me again. But when the car arrived, it wasn't what I imagined. Before I could even say Hi, Dora turned her head, took one look at me… and then wrapped her arms even tighter around Maria, the maid. She buried her face in Maria's neck like I wasn't even there. Like Maria was her mom. I tried to approach her, but Dora straight-up told me she didn't want to ride in the same car as me. And Maria, wearing that fake, polite smile, kept trying to gently talk me into giving Dora "a little more time." I looked over at Luca, hoping he'd step in. Instead, he just looked annoyed, like he couldn't be bothered to lift a finger to help fix things between me and our daughter. Clearly, they didn't want me there. So what was the point of trying to join the ride? I stepped back from the SUV. Then Luca just turned to me and said, "Just wait here. I won't be long." What he'll never understand is… I'm done waiting for him.

I gave up a vast fortune to be with my boyfriend Terrence. In our poorest days, we didn't even have a single grain of rice at home. Terrence went out to fight in underground rings, never surrendering once even when he was beaten black and blue. With his blood and sweat, he paved the path to our future brick by brick. In the present, his name was uttered with an undeniable tone of respect, while I was known far and wide as his missus, the woman he treasured above anyone or anything. One year, when I left the country because of a family emergency, I learned that he even started seeing a therapist due to separation anxiety. Everyone said that Terrence loved me more than life itself, and I had believed it too, wholeheartedly. Until I stood on our balcony, watching him tightly embracing another woman in the villa next door. "Even though Tanya is back, the very thought of losing you makes me lose control… I can't live without you, Mia… "If any other men ever appear by your side, I might just end up killing them…" His voice was a low rumble, tinged with a sort of unconscious madness. "B-But what about your wife? Didn't you say that she means more to you than your own life?" "Well, we just have to keep this hidden better, don't we? I want to always be with you…" My hand trembled, and I accidentally cut my hand with the fruit knife I was holding, but I felt no pain at all. To think that just one year apart was enough to shatter thirty years of love and mutual support… With trembling hands, I picked up my phone and called my mother. "Mom, I'm feeling homesick… Can you get me a new identity and a one-way ticket out of the country?"

At twenty-eight, I held the dubious honor of being the last unmarried socialite on New York's Upper East Side. Everyone around me was growing increasingly anxious about my single status. In my previous life, my mother arranged a matchmaking cocktail party, where I was told to choose a husband from ten handpicked elite bachelors. I bribed the event planner to place Mark West's profile at the very top—and as I had hoped, I chose him. After we married, Mark treated me with what seemed like tender affection. He even bought me an oceanfront villa in the Hamptons, making me believe I had finally found true love. But that illusion shattered the day I was nine months pregnant, just hours away from giving birth. Mark drove a scalpel straight into my abdomen—then, right in front of me, hurled our newborn onto the floor. "If you hadn't forced me into this marriage with your family's power, Sofia wouldn't have been heartbroken enough to go drinking and get drugged and assaulted. This… this is what you owe her!" He tossed the scalpel aside, then calmly let his private doctor pin down my blood-soaked body. I fought through excruciating pain for six agonizing hours, until I finally bled to death. Afterward, Mark dumped my corpse into the Hudson River. But for Sofia, he hosted a grand funeral—funded with my money, under my name—and paraded himself to the world as a grieving, devoted widower. Given a second chance at life, I refused to step foot in that cursed matchmaking event. Instead, I went straight to my mother with a demand: marry me to Robert Black—the most ruthless, cold-blooded titan of Wall Street, whose scarred face was feared by all. In the end, stripped of my financial backing, Mark's hedge fund collapsed. He became a disgraced fraudster, spat on by everyone on Wall Street.

Senyum... kerana senyum, aku hilang orang yang aku sayang. Aku tak akan biarkan senyuman itu mekar dibibir aku lagi. Esra Elvina.

Setiap butir bicara yang terpacul dari bibir si gadis, seolah-olah membawa maksud tersirat. Janji? Kenapa dia perlu berjanji untuk menjaganya?

In meinem vorigen Leben veranstaltete mein Bruder nur deshalb eine Nacht mit Sternschnuppen für seine Geliebte, weil sie den Wunsch geäußert hatte, welche zu sehen. Also fuhr er mit all seinen Leibwächtern aufs Land, um ihr diesen Wunsch zu erfüllen. Unglücklicherweise nutzten die Feinde, die mein Bruder ruiniert hatte, die Gelegenheit und brachen in unser Haus ein, um Rache zu nehmen und unsere Familie auszulöschen. Meine Mutter beschützte mich unter Aufopferung ihres eigenen Lebens, wurde schwer verletzt und schwebte zwischen Leben und Tod. Ich rief meinen Bruder mehrmals an und flehte ihn an, sofort zurückzukehren und uns zu retten. Schließlich kam er unwillig mit seinen Leibwächtern zurück. Die Feinde wurden gefasst, doch da erreichte uns eine tragische Nachricht vom Land. Seine Geliebte hatte einen Abschiedsbrief hinterlassen und war verschwunden, ihr Schicksal war ungewiss. In dem Brief warf sie mir vor, ich hätte absichtlich meinen Bruder weggelockt. Dadurch sei sie in die Hände der Feinde gefallen, wurde gefoltert und habe deshalb Selbstmord begangen. Mein Bruder verbrannte gleichgültig ihren Brief und sagte mir, ich solle mir nichts daraus machen. Danach wurde meinem Bruder die Schuld gegeben, und mein Vater versprach mir, die Leitung des Familienunternehmens zu überlassen. Doch nach dem Jubelbankett wurde ich in meinem Schlafzimmer von meinem Bruder grausam getötet. Ohne jede Regung sagte er kalt: „So eine giftige Person wie du hätte schon lange sterben sollen.“ „Du hättest sterben sollen, und das Familienerbe gehört mir!“ Voll bitterer Groll starb ich. Als ich die Augen wieder öffnete, war vor dem Villa das Geräusch von eindringenden Feinden zu hören, die die Tür aufbrachen.
