I’m the Vettori family princess. The only one. It was our fifth anniversary. A big dinner party at the estate. A waiter spilled red wine on my husband Marco, heir to the Rossi family. My best friend, Sofia, slapped the waiter. Hard. Then she was all over Marco, helping him out of his jacket. Her hand lingered on his waist. A second too long. I just stood there, watching. Sofia saw me. "I was just closer, that's all. Helping him clean up. Don't overthink it." I just smiled. Grabbed my glass. I went to make the rounds with the old dons from the other families. I would finish this night with my head held high. Later that night, Marco crawled into my bed, stinking of booze. His hands were on my waist. He wanted sex. I pushed him off. "The alliance is over," I said, my voice dead. "We're finished." Marco sobered up fast. His face went cold. "I'm trying to apologize here. You're divorcing me because Sofia helped me with my jacket?" I laughed. He didn’t get it. Not until I threw the proof of his betrayal in his face. Not until I cut him off from my family. Then he was on his knees, crying, begging me to forgive him.

Pagkagising ni Desiree, wala ni isang saplot sa katawan niya. Ngunit higit pa sa pagkabigla niya ay ang taong natutulog sa tabi niya—ang lalaking pinakaayaw niya sa lahat. Mas lalo pa siyang nabahala dahil ramdam pa rin niya ang init ng gabing iyon na ayaw man niyang aminin, ay tumatak sa isip niya. "Ano, gusto mong ituloy ito o gusto mong ibaon na lang sa limot at magpanggap na walang nangyari?" "Ang ibig mong sabihin, gusto mong akuin kitang responsibilidad ko dahil nagtalik tayo?" malamig na tanong ng lalaki, sabay taas ng kilay. Ang gwapo nitong mukha ay may halong pang-aasar na lalong nagpa-init ng ulo ni Desiree. Halos gusto na niyang sugurin at kalmutin ito. Halos sumabog sa inis si Desiree. Hindi man lang niya napag-isipan nang gano’n kalalim ang nangyari kagabi. "Hindi!" Sigaw niya, sabay irap at iwas ng tingin. "Isang beses lang iyon, wala nang dapat pag-usapan pa. Wala akong pakialam." Nagkibit-balikat siya at malamig na nagsabi, "Mas mabuti pang kalimutan na lang natin pareho ang lahat. Walang nasaktan, walang talo." Hindi naman siya magpapatali sa isang lalaki kahit pa... napakahusay nito sa kama. "Kung gano’n, ayos," sagot ni Terrence habang nag-uunat at naglakad palabas ng kwarto na parang walang nangyari. Ngunit bago siya tuluyang lumabas, lumingon pa ito at mayabang na nagsabi, "Sana lang hindi mo ipagmalaki kahit kanino na nakuha mo ako."

My boyfriend suddenly posted something on his Instagram. [I’ve offered my body and soul to the country.] I was about to ask what he meant when he sent me a plane ticket to the northwest. He explained that the mission was confidential and that he could not be in contact with me during this time. Ten months passed. He was supposed to be away, but he came home unexpectedly and caught me at a prenatal checkup. When he saw my eight-month-pregnant belly, his face turned pale with anger. “I’ve been gone for ten months. How are you pregnant?” I shrugged and said, “Weren’t you supposed to be gone for three years? Why are you back after just ten months?”

Synopsis Katherine McQueen's world shattered when her father borrowed from Massimo Hollingsworth, a ruthless New York billionaire who commands the fearsome Hollingsworth dynasty. When Massimo arrived to collect his due, a tragic accident left him in a coma. Desperate and cornered, Katherine was forced into a marriage she never wanted. His powerful relatives plotted his death, certain he wouldn’t survive, eager to erase her as well by throwing her out once she becomes a widow. But Massimo did survive. When he awakened, the ice in his gaze was nothing compared to the fury in his heart. He recognized Katherine as the daughter of the man who orchestrated his accident. Hatred replaced reason. Cruelty became his weapon. “I heard you might be pregnant with my child already? Abort it. I don’t want a child from your wretched bloodline.” Devastated, Katherine fled, building a new life far from his shadow. But seven years later, fate played its cruel hand again. At a bustling amusement park, her brilliant young son, a boy who looked like a miniature Massimo, pointed to a man on stage. “Mom, why does that man look so much like me?” “Because he’s your uncle. But remember, never cross his path. He’s dangerous… he even threatened me while I carried you.” Yet her son was no fool. Taking matters into his own hands, he wrote a letter to Massimo. "You are my dad, but you terrified my mother while she was pregnant with me. What kind of father does that make you? I hate that I look so much like you. But guess what? I’ve come to stay and suffocate you.”
