Sa loob ng tatlong taong pagsasama ay tunay na pagmamahal ang ipinaramdam ni Agatha Dela Cruz-Ibañez sa asawa niyang si Daniel Ibañez. They were childhood friends kaya nang sinabi ng mga magulang nila na sila ay magpapakasal ay hindi siya tumutol doon. Bagkus ay tinanggap niya iyon ng buong puso dahil umaasa siya na mamahalin din siya ng kaniyang kaibigan. Nawasak ang ilusyon niya nang direktang sinabi sa kaniya ni Daniel na wala siyang maaasahan dahil may iba nang nagmamay-ari sa puso nito. Ang mas masakit ay gagamitin ni Daniel ang arranged marriage nila upang pagselosin ang first love nito. Agatha tried everything to make him fall for her. She became the best housewife for him by giving up her booming career. She stayed by his side kahit na ilang beses pa siya nitong ipagtabuyan. “Hinding-hindi ako papayag na magkaanak tayong dalawa. You are free to choose kung anong uri ng abort10n ang gagawin mo. Ang mahalaga lang sa akin ay hindi iyan mabubuhay upang tawagin akong ama,” iyon ang katagang binitawan ni Daniel noong nalaman nito na sinabi niya na siya ay buntis. Labis na nasaktan si Agatha sa sinabi ni Daniel. Sapat na iyon para tuluyan niyang bitawan ang kasal na siya lang ang may gusto. Isang mapait na ngiti ang ibinigay niya sa asawa, “Kung ayaw mo sa bata ay wala na akong magagawa. Tapos na ako sa responsibilidad ko sa iyo bilang iyong asawa,” sabi niya bago pa man niya hinubad ang wedding ring na matagal din niyang iningatan.

“I never believed in love and marriage. But when I set my eyes on you, everything changed.

Till such a moment came na hiniling ng kanyang butihing-ina ang isang apo mula sa kanya. She’s the only daughter and she loved her mom very much para ipagkait dito ang simpleng bagay na alam niyang makapagpapaligaya rito. Sa tulong ng kaibigang si Sandy ay nakahanap siya ng lalaking handang mag-“donate” ng sarili nitong “semelya.” Iyon ay si Gunther de Guzman!

A client splashes water in my face. I'm trembling as I endure his insults and mockery while Wayne Gale stands and watches calmly. His arm is around his assistant as he says, "I can't believe you're incapable of handling such a menial task, Georgina. My company doesn't need useless staff!" I wipe the water from my face and down my drink. Then, I fill it again and splash the client back. Whoever wants this job can have it. I quit!

I kept it hidden from the entire Moonshadow Pack — the private mate contract I signed with Darren, the current Alpha. Every time he rushed off to spend the heat season with his Omega childhood sweetheart, the wolf inside me howled in agony, tearing itself apart. Every time, he would whisper his empty promises, "Once she's stable, we'll hold the Luna crowning ceremony." For three years, he made that promise ninety-nine times — and skipped the ceremony ninety-nine times. The first time, her wolf died unexpectedly, and he claimed the Moon Goddess had forbidden the ceremony. The second time, her heat struck suddenly, and he abandoned me, throwing himself into her bed. After that, every time there was supposed to be a ceremony, something happened to her — and somehow, he was always right there by her side. Every time, I broke down, screaming, drowning in heartbreak. However, he always looked down on me, his voice calm, detached: "She's just a temporary mate for physical needs. You should understand." After the ninety-ninth broken promise, the wolf inside me finally went silent. I placed a "Mate Contract Termination Application" on his desk. "From now on, in the eyes of the Moon Goddess, I'm no longer yours in any way."

I had supported Lauren Geller through seven years of competitive cycling. After she defended her championship title, I handed her the divorce papers myself. Her shining career ended there and then. I had been able to carry her to the summit, and I could just as easily lift someone else in her place. It was not until I appeared before her with my girlfriend that she finally understood. It had never been Lauren who abandoned me; I was the one who chose to walk away.

On the way to a dance competition, a massive truck rammed into me. My legs were shattered, and my mother was sent flying from the impact after she tried to protect me. My stepbrother, who was also my secret boyfriend of six years, went crazy after hearing the news. He had the driver dragged off to a lawless borderland and called in the best doctors in the country to save me and my mother. Not many people knew, but I was born with a rare sensitivity to pain. The more it hurt, the clearer my mind became. That was how I ended up lying wide awake on the bed, listening to Luke Quinton and his friend, Harvey Lane, talking just outside my hospital room. "Luke, are you sure about this? You really want to let Queenie practice on Natalie's mother's heart?" "She deserves it. That vile woman seduced my father and drove my mother to her death. If not for revenge, do you think I'd stomach being with her daughter for six years? "She should be honored that Queenie is dissecting her heart. Keep it from Natalie for now. If she loses it, she might ruin my wedding with Queenie. What would I do if that happened? The only woman I'll ever have as my wife is Queenie. No one will ever take her place." So, that was the truth. What I thought was a love strong enough to defy the world had been a lie from the very beginning—just a carefully crafted act of revenge.
