When You Wish Upon A Star

My sister accompanies me when I go for my premarital medical checkup. When I'm preparing a urine test, I hear embarrassing sounds coming from the cubicle next door. I'm about to leave when I hear the conversation. "Keep it in you, Willow. We're doing this again if it slips out." The voice belongs to my fiancé, Zachary Hilton. The woman to whom he's speaking is Willow Langley, my sister. I dial his number hysterically to see whether it really is him, but my calls go unanswered. All I hear is the incessant ringing of a phone next door and moans alongside it. I'm rooted to the spot, too stunned to do anything. Zachary once vowed to love me for life, yet he's doing something like this with Willow prior to our wedding. The moans and pants next door take a long time to subside. Once I hear them leave, I call home, my face wet with tears. "Mom, change my husband-to-be to Thomas Hilton, Zachary's youngest uncle. I don't want to have anything to do with Zachary anymore."

On the day Yara Cullen was released from prison, it was raining. A chilly wind carried the drizzle, striking her as the media swarmed the prison gates. "Ms. Cullen, in the Crestwood Estate sexual assault case, your client lost the lawsuit and took her own life six months ago. Her mother is demanding accountability. Do you have anything to say?” "Ms. Cullen, your attorney's license has been revoked, and your mentor was forced to retire. What are your thoughts on this?" No matter how the reporters pressed, Yara kept her head down and pushed forward, forcing her way through the crowd. A black G-Wagon was parked by the roadside, where Westley Langston leaned against the car, smoking a cigarette. Beside him, Elena Cullen tugged at his arm. He turned, glancing toward the prison gates.

Determined to honor her grandfather's dying wish, she walks into a world far more twisted than she imagined—a world where promises turn deadly and family ties are not what they seem. A powerful marriage alliance. A tragic birth. A betrayal that changes everything. When secrets long buried begin to resurface, Camila is forced to question those closest to her. Love, loyalty, and truth begin to blur. And just when she thinks she's found someone to trust, another shadow rises from her past. In a world where allies wear masks and enemies hold your hand, will Camila uncover the truth in time—or will she become part of the mystery?

After I studied and lived in Descensio for five years, I finally graduated and was ready to return to my home country to take over my dad's company. When I arrived at the Sullivan Group building, I took a picture and posted it on my Instagram story with the caption. 'Since you're the man I love most, I'm here to see you immediately after graduation.' Yet, a woman appeared out of nowhere and slapped me as soon as I arrived at the company's lobby. "It's her! She's the hussy! She had seduced my husband back in high school. Now that my husband has become the director, she shamelessly showed up here to flirt with him. So, I want you girls to beat her up. I'll take the blame if anything happens." While the woman was cooking up a story about me seducing Marcus Lane, a director of Sullivan Group, others around simply looked on coldly and judged me. She slashed my limited-edition bag to pieces and smashed the expensive seal I wanted to give my dad. "You're just a gold digger wearing and buying fake luxury goods. It's just a few hundred dollars. I can still afford to pay you." However, little did she know that everything I had was real. Even if she and her director husband worked for the rest of their lives, they would never be able to afford to pay for the damages.

The temperature starts to drop once we reach the top of the mountain. My two childhood friends, who swore to protect me with their lives, don't even spare me a glance. One is hastily wrapping all his clothes around Lisette Locke, while the other is warming her with his body. I'm so cold that my heart condition acts up; I beg them to save me. However, they're infuriated by this. "How can you still be trying to get our attention at a time like this, Cecilia? Run around for a while if you're cold!" "We'll buy you that white down jacket you wanted when we get back, but you can't take it from Lise now!" The rescue team arrives, and I barely make it out alive. I'm hospitalized for a week, but neither of them come to visit me. I see from my social media that they're busy celebrating Lisette's birthday. We've been friends for over a decade, yet I mean nothing when compared to the driver's daughter. I call my father and say, "Dad, "I'm willing to marry into the Jorgensen family!"

Bertahun-tahun lalu, disebuah negeri bernama Wynstelle, terjadi sebuah penghianatan keji yang dilakukan oleh putra pertama dari Raja ke-3 negeri tersebut. Raja Aldric yang merupakan Raja ke-3 sempat membuat keputusan untuk membebaskan negeri itu dan membiarkannya berdiri tanpa Raja. Hal tersebut dikarenakan sebuah ramalan yang menyebutkan bahwa ada salah satu keturunannya yang mempunyai aura kegelapan yang begitu pekat, dan bahkan bisa merubah kesucian negeri itu hanya dengan kalimat manisnya yang berbisa. Karena dibuatnya keputusan itu, Orazio--putra pertamanya yang seharusnya menjadi Raja selanjutnya tidak terima hingga berakhir memenggal kepala Sang Ayah dengan tangannya sendiri. Setelah meninggalnya Raja Aldric, ia akhirnya mengklaim Batu Permata Bintang menjadi miliknya. Alhasil, Ramalan itu menjadi nyata. Negeri yang mendapat kutukan akan kehilangan warna disaat Batu simbol dari Wynstelle itu jatuh ke-tangan yang salah pun terjadi. Namun disamping ramalan itu, ada juga sebuah ramalan yang mengatakan akan ada keturunan lain yang membawa cahaya terang yang akan melenyapkan kegelapan. Anak itu lahir dari sepasang suami-istri seorang peri dan seorang siluman naga. Sedangkan beberapa hari sebelum peristiwa itu, seorang anak berdarah peri dan siluman naga pertama lahir dari putri kedua Raja Aldric, atau sebut saja adiknya sendiri. Orazio yang mengetahui hal itu pun berusaha melenyapkan anak itu. Namun, kekuatannya dengan kekuatan siluman naga sepadan, hingga membuatnya sulit untuk mendekati anak itu. Kekacauan tak bermoral yang terjadi ini mengakibatkan renggangnya hubungan antara kaum peri dan kaum siluman naga. Hingga melebernya larangan tegas dari kaum siluman naga yaitu; tidak boleh ada satupun kaum naga yang berhubungan dengan kaum peri. Hal itu tentu membuat Andrio--menantu Raja Aldric meninggalkan istri serta putranya. Karena kesepakatan suami-istri itu, Anak itu tumbuh bersama manusia dan akan ia kembalikan ke dunianya kala usianya sudah cukup. Hal itu tentu saja tak jauh dari takdir Felix yang sudah digariskan untuk melenyapkan sang pembawa kegelapan.

It was our wedding anniversary when my husband's high school sweetheart posted a sonogram picture on her social media, with her captioning a public thank-you to my husband: [Thank you to the man who's been there for me for ten years, and for giving me a son.] The room spun, and anger surged through me as I quickly commented: [So, you're proud of being a homewrecker?] Almost immediately, my husband called, his voice full of rage. "How can you think such disgusting things? All I did was help her with IVF, fulfilling her dream of becoming a single mom. "And by the way, Ruby only needed one try to get pregnant, while you’ve been through three rounds with nothing. Your body is useless!" Just three days ago, he told me he was going abroad for business—ignoring my calls and messages the entire time. I thought he was just busy. However, it turned out he was with her, attending her prenatal checkup. Half an hour later, Ruby posted again, showing off a table full of delicious food. [I got tired of French food, so Ash made me all my favorite dishes. He’s the best!] I stared at the pregnancy test in my hand, the joy I had felt earlier now completely gone. After eight years of love and six years of swallowing my pride just to keep the marriage alive, I’m finally ready to let go.

As I met his burning gaze, he inched closer, racing my hearts with his words, “You can't deny our love forever. Soon, you are going to admit what you feel for me!” “I don't feel anything for you!” I snapped angrily, glaring hard at him. “Oh, really?” A devilish smirk curled his lips, sending shivers down my spine as he spoke playfully, “Then why were you begging me to f*ck you last night, my love?” … Born under the dark shadows of a prophecy, Azlynn’s life took a painful turn when she found her boyfriend, Xavion, making out with a hot girl at her birthday party. Devastated by his betrayal, she broke up with him, vowing never to look back. The football star, Alpha Xavion was hit by the reality that his true love was gone, realizing his mistake only after break-up. But it was too late! He couldn’t find Azlynn anywhere ... Five years later, their paths crossed again as a football celebrity and the owner of an emerging sport’s agency, reigniting their feelings. But how would Azlynn deal with Xavion, who was hell-bent on winning her back? Would she give him a chance? Or find love in the embrace of her fated mate?

He stood in front of me, held my face between his hands and stared down at me. I waited, once again, I did. For what? This time I didn't know. But the moment he spoke, I knew, the wait was over. "You waited." He said. I gasped. " You waited." He breathed.
