During a family gathering, my mother produces a few photos of different men. She asks me which one I want to get into an arranged marriage with. I don't choose Bradley Garvin again in this lifetime. Instead, I pull out a photo of my own and give it to my mother. It's of Terrence Garvin, the Garvin family's true leader. My mother is surprised. I've pursued Bradley for many years, after all. What she doesn't know is that I married him in my past life. However, he rarely came home. I always thought it was because he was too busy. Whenever anyone asked me about it, I took all the blame. I only discovered the truth on our 20th wedding anniversary after accidentally breaking a box he kept locked in his closet. It turned out my sister was the one he'd always loved. He never returned home because he didn't want to see me. Unexpectedly, Bradley loses his mind when I'm about to put a diamond ring on Terrence's finger on our wedding day.

On the eve of my engagement banquet, news broke that my fiancé had fathered a child with his mistress, and it spread like wildfire. Before I could confront him, Jayden Ford brushed it off casually. "It was just an accident. Focus on organizing the engagement banquet first. Besides, your dad’s in the late stages of stomach cancer. Calling off the engagement now won’t do either family any good." That night, he skipped the banquet but posted a photo of a swaddled newborn on social media. When I video-called him, he was bottle-feeding the baby. "I’ve been busy taking care of the kid. You know how it is. Our family lineage has always been sparse and dwindling, and the child takes priority." He wiped milk from the baby’s mouth. "But don’t worry. Once he’s a month old, I’ll send him to the overseas. Just show up on holidays and pretend to be his mom. The title of Mrs. Ford will always be yours." I stared at the matching diamond ring on his finger and couldn’t help but laugh. "Jayden, this engagement is off." He scoffed, "You're really throwing a tantrum over something like this? Don’t be so childish." I hung up on him and called his father—Charles Ford—directly. "I heard you’re looking for a new wife? Why not consider me?" I ran a hand over my belly and smiled. "After all, I’ve got a naturally fertile body. I can give you as many sons as you want." So much for being the sole heir. I’ll make sure he has plenty of brothers to keep him company.

Bagaimana pun Takdir tetap menjadi satu-satunya kekuatan, meski sikapnya yang tak menentu begitu nyata pada setiap laku lajak yang tampak. Tetapi aku tak tahu dia milikku atau bukan, karena untuk menjadi telinga, pundak, punggung, lengan dia ada paling depan. Tak terkecuali dengan memasukkan nama lain dimatanya yang aku tidak tahu siapa. Yang kenangannya terus dibawa dalam kepala. Dalam perjalanan kita yang tak sebentar ini, apakah aku hanya punya bagian untuk menjadi samar? Walaupun berulang kali Takdir bilang, "Hubungan itu berdua. Bicara jika ada sedikit rasa tak nyaman." Tapi, jelasnya aku ini siapa bagimu?

My husband is a rock climbing route setter. It's our wedding anniversary today, but he brings his female best friend with him on an adventure to discover uncharted territory. It comes about because his female best friend says life is so boring. We're trapped in the mountains when we encounter extreme weather, and the rescue helicopter can only take two people with them. They climb up the ladder deftly, leaving me to slowly grow colder in the rain. I shout his name with all my strength. "I have a heart condition! I'll die if I don't get to the hospital soon!" He throws a rope down at me without even sparing me a glance. "Luna has menstrual cramps—she never says she's in pain. You, on the other hand, are only good at acting. Think of a way to get down yourself." What he doesn't know is that his "good friend" has already sliced the rope he threw to me.

Turns out, in his world, I and everything I have built were always expendable—just some obstacles standing between him and his precious first love. I turn away and call my brother.

Pangarap ni Dasha na maging isang sikat na author. Gusto niyang makapagsulat ng librong magiging best-seller balang araw. Pero alam niyang hindi magiging makatotohanan ang mga kuwento niya kung wala siyang sariling karanasan, lalo na pagdating sa pag-ibig at sa kama. Kaya isang gabi, dahil sa pangungulit ng mga kaibigan niya, napadpad tuloy sila sa isang bar sa Manila. Doon sila nagsaya, nagpakalasing at sumadyang maghanap ng lalaki kukuhanan ni Dasha ng sinasabi nitong experience sa pag-ibig at sa kama. Nung tumama na ang alak, sakto namang may lumapit sa kaniya na isang matangkad na lalaking guwapo, na talaga namang nagpa-init agad sa pakiramdam niya. Hindi niya alam kung dala ba ng alak o ang matinding curiosity niya bilang writer, pero natagpuan na lang ni Dasha ang sarili sa isang hotel room kasama ang estrangherong iyon. Doon niya naranasan ang isang gabing nagpa-init ng husto, nagparamdam ng sobrang sakit, at sobrang sarap na kailanman ay tila hindi niya malilimutan kahit lasing na lasing siya. Hindi na niya inisip ang magiging kahihinatnan nun. Ang mahalaga, nakakuha siya ng karanasang magagamit niya sa kaniyang pagsusulat. Isang araw, nalaman ni Dasha na magbabakasyon sa kanilang probinsya ang lalaking pinsan niya na hindi pa niya nakikita kailanman. Hindi raw kasi ito mahilig magpakuha ng litrato, kaya kahit sa larawan ay hindi pa niya ito nakilala. Ngunit paano kung sa oras na magkita sila ay matuklasan niyang ang lalaking kumuha ng pagka-birhen niya sa Manila ay walang iba kundi ang pinsan palang si Elco? Paano pa nila haharapin ang isa’t isa, kung ang gabing iyon ay isang pagkakamaling hindi na kayang itama?

Lucas Ashton and I have secretly dated for five years. We're preparing to announce our relationship during a business dinner. However, he doesn't mention a word of it during the dinner. Instead, he leans close to me and whispers half-jokingly, "I'm sick of sleeping with you and want to call it quits. Shall we not disclose our relationship?" I smile and nod. Then, I point at Emily Lane, his first love. "This is Lucas' girlfriend." In my past life, I pleaded with him not to leave me. All that got me was torment and death.
