Pada hari kelahiran kembar, aku menyuap dokter keluarga dan menyuntikkan semua inihibitor persalinan kuat yang ada di rumah sakit untuk menunda persalinan. Alasannya karena di kehidupan sebelumnya, Vincent Kusuma didiagnosis dengan oligospermia. Demi punya penerus, Vincent sampai cari belasan selingkuhan di luar. Dia mengumumkan, siapa pun yang duluan melahirkan anak cowok, anak itulah yang akan jadi bos keluarga berikutnya. Katanya, asalkan aku duluan melahirkan, dia akan mengusir semua selingkuhannya dan membiarkan anakku menjadi pewaris Keluarga Kusuma. Aku memercayainya. Saat tahu aku hamil kembar, rasa haru dan senang yang sulit dikatakan membuatku gemetaran. Tapi setelah melahirkan, dia malah suruh orang mengurung aku dan bayi yang baru lahir ke dalam gudang anggur yang dingin dan melarang semua orang dekatin kami. “Lusi berasal dari keluarga sederhana. Aku cuman mau kasih anaknya status yang sah supaya masa depan mereka lebih baik. Tapi kau sengaja menyebarkan kabar itu, sampai dia keguguran karena putus asa. Akhirnya dia dan bayinya mati.” “Kau segitu kejam! Kau sama sekali nggak layak jadi ibu pewaris Keluarga Kusuma! Renungkanlah kesalahanmu! 3 hari lagi baru aku lepaskan kau dari sini!” Setelah selesai berbicara, Vincent suruh kepala pelayan kunci pintunya tanpa menyisakan lubang. Tapi, dia nggak tahu. Malam itu, gudang anggur kebakaran. Aku dan anak kembarku tewas terbakar. Pas aku buka mata lagi, ternyata aku kembali ke malam sebelum melahirkan. Di kehidupan yang baru ini, aku nggak mau jadi istri sah mafia lagi. Setelah anakku lahir dan tenagaku pulih, aku akan bawa anakku pergi jauh dari sini.

BLURB They sold me for five million dollars but two wolves paid ten million, and now I belong to both of them for six months. My name is Beatrice, three days ago my mate sold me at auction to pay gambling debts he created while I secretly ran our pack and kept us from collapsing. He called me defective because I couldn’t give him children. That was his lie to hide his own failures and I let him spread it because the truth would make me a target for something worse than a bad marriage. Now I stand in a billionaire's penthouse owned by Vincent who bought me for revenge and Christopher who bought me because we were friends when we were children before I disappeared to escape a fate I would rather die than accept. Vincent treats me like a fascinating problem to solve and Christopher treats me like fragile glass that might shatter and neither one understands that I already broke years ago and put myself back together. Six months with two wolves who both want to own me in different ways, six months to plan what happens when the contract ends, six months to remember that before I was property I was a person who survived impossible things and I can survive this too. But somewhere between business dinners where Vincent watches me like I might be worth more than he paid and late nights where Christopher reminds me what it felt like to be seen as human, something dangerous is happening. I am starting to want things beyond survival and wanting things means having things to lose. They think they bought a broken Luna who will be grateful for rescue. They are about learning that surviving taught me to be something more dangerous than broken.

I should have been walking down the aisle. Instead, I was running through the woods in my wedding dress. The white fabric caught on every branch, tearing apart like my life. My name is Camela Siegel. My father is the Mayor, and he sold me to save himself. Vincent Castellano was supposed to be my husband. They call him the Mad Prince, but I learned he’s so much worse than that. His hands trembled when he touched me—sometimes gentle, like I might break, and sometimes rough, like he wanted to overpower me. “You’re mine now,” he’d whisper in the dark corners of that house. “No one else gets to touch you. No one else gets to hurt you but me.” I tried the door handle every day for three months. It only turned from the outside. When help finally came, I thought it was over. I thought I could go home and pretend none of it ever happened. I was wrong. Vincent found my journal—the one where I wrote about him, about what he did to me, and about who he truly is. Now he’s not just keeping me locked up. He’s hunting me. They call him “The Fox” for a reason. He’s patient and waits. When he catches what he’s after, he never lets it go. I can feel him watching me even now—through my bedroom window, from across the street, in the shadows where I can’t see him but I know he’s there. My father thinks making that deal saved his life. He doesn’t realize it destroyed mine. Vincent said he’d keep me until the last day of my life. I’m starting to think that day is coming soon.

Después de ocho años de matrimonio, Marcos Ruiz y yo éramos cada vez más sincronizados. Él compró una villa para su “amiga de infancia” y me mintió diciendo que estaba de viaje de negocios, y yo lo creí. Le pedí que firmara el acuerdo de divorcio y le mentí diciendo que se trataba de un acuerdo de transferencia de propiedad inmobiliaria, y él también lo creyó. Queda un mes de período de reflexión para obtener oficialmente el certificado de divorcio, y yo tengo justo tiempo para borrar todo lo relacionado con nuestros ocho años.

She’s loud. He’s cold. She believes in happy endings. He doesn’t believe in love at all. Sa mundo ng luxury, deadlines, at perfection, siya ang lalaking hindi marunong ngumiti. Cesar Araneta, 35, CEO ng Luxe Life Magazine, gwapo, matalino, at mayaman — pero kilalang pusong bato. Para sa kanya, ang feelings ay sagabal, at ang pag-ibig ay walang lugar sa success story niya. Hanggang dumating si Gabriela “Gavine” Gutierrez, isang Gen Z aspiring writer na kasing ingay ng alarm clock at kasing saya ng kape sa umaga. Masayahin, palpak minsan, pero may tapang at puso.Hindi siya intimidated sa suplado niyang boss sa katunayan, crush pa nga niya ito simula pa college! Ngunit isang viral post ang gugulo sa tahimik na buhay ni Cesar. Ang “Heartless but Handsome Boss” article ni Gavine ay magpapainit hindi lang ng internet, kundi pati ng opisina ng Luxe Life. But when her “Heartless but Handsome” post goes viral, their worlds collide in the most chaotic, hilarious, and unexpectedly romantic way. Pero paano nga ba magtatagpo ang dalawang magkaibang mundo? Siya, mayaman, sikat, at sanay na lahat sumusunod. At siya, simpleng dalaga lang walang pangalan sa lipunan, pero may pusong kayang umintindi kahit sa pinaka-malamig na tao. “You called me heartless.” Can a cheerful nobody melts the heart of a man who thinks love is overrated? Maybe love isn’t overrated after all — maybe it just needed the right kind of disaster to begin.

On the day of the mating ceremony, I'm supposed to be marked by William Ernst and become the Luna of the Shadow pack. However, Annie Denver, my younger twin sister, suddenly comes back from abroad. Dad, Mom, and William end up abandoning me, choosing to pick her up from the airport. While Annie posts a family photo on Facebook, flaunting how everyone in the family loves her, my family cuts me off whenever I try to contact them through mind-link. They end up closing the mind-link. After calling countless times, William finally accepts my call and asks me to stop rushing him. He tells me that today's mating ceremony is canceled and will be rescheduled on another date. My dearest parents, brother, and the man I love the most all turn me into the laughingstock of the entire pack—and the most ridiculous bride of all. Despite being laughed at, I didn't cry or make a scene. After taking care of everything, I write a number in my journal—the 99th time. This is the 99th time they have disappointed me. From this moment on, I won't beg for their love anymore. I fill out an application for Arcetic expedition, ready to leave them. They all think that my silence and constant compromises with Annie mean I've matured. They fail to realize that I'm disappointed to the core. I am leaving for good.
