"Alex... help… please…" I tried to whisper, but no sound came out. I saw them, Alexander had his arms wrapped around Sophia, who was clutching him like her life depended on it. She was pressed against his chest, her face buried in his neck, and she wasn't letting go. "Don't look at her," Sophia whispered loudly. "You'll only make yourself sick with guilt. This isn't your fault. She did this to herself by being dramatic." That's when I heard the scream. "Oh my God! Mrs. Sterling!" Rosa, one of our housemaids, came rushing into the dining room. "Mrs. Sterling, what happened to you?" Rosa dropped to her knees beside me, her hands fluttering over my body like she didn't know where to start. "You're bleeding! There's so much blood everywhere!” I was bleeding? I couldn't feel anything below my waist anymore, but when I managed to glance down, I saw the dark stain spreading across my dress. "Mr. Alexander!" Rosa shouted, her voice cracking with an anger I’ve never seen in her before. She looked ready to commit murder. Did I look that bad? “Your wife is dying! How can you do this to her? How can you stand there holding another woman while your wife bleeds to death on the floor?!" Rosa snarled. "Rosa, lower your voice," Alexander snapped, but I could hear something different in his tone. Uncertainty. "Take Ivy to the hospital and stop making a scene, or you'll be looking for another job." Rosa shot back, tears streaming down her face. "¡Sos un bueno para nada! What kind of man are you?" I was going to die. Right here on my dining room floor, wearing my mother's blood-stained dress while my husband comforted another woman.

Sa mismong araw ng kanilang kasal, imbes na sa harap ng altar, ay sa presinto dinala ng kanyang mapapangasawa si Irene Casareo upang pagbintangan sa isang kasalanang hindi niya ginawa. Doon din niya nalaman ang pagta-traydor nito sa kanya kasama ang stepsister nito. Baon ang galit at poot, ay tatlong taon niyang tiniis ang pagdurusa sa loob ng kulungan. Sa kanyang paglaya, hindi pa man siya nagtatagal sa labas, ay nasuong na siya sa isang madugong engkwentro. Doon niya nakilala si Kristoff Montecillo; isang makapangyarihang lalaki mula sa underworld, at tiyuhin ng ex-fiancee niyang si Dave Montecillo. Niligtas siya nito mula sa mga armadong lalaki, at bilang kabayaran ay niyanig nito ang mundo niya sa pamamagitan ng isang halik. Ang lalaki rin ang naging daan kung bakit nailigtas ang puri niya mula sa matandang huklubang nais kumuha ng kanyang pagkabirhen. Ngayong may utang na loob na siya kay Kristoff, papayag ba siyang maging fiancee nito kapalit ng ilang ulit na pagliligtas nito sa kanya? O, papayag siya upang gamitin ito sa paghihiganti sa mga taong nakapanakit sa kanya?

Elijah Dawson had everything—a billion-dollar empire, a name that commanded respect, and the kind of life others could only dream of. By 20, he’d conquered the business world, turning his love for cars into an empire. But there’s one thing he can’t own: Eloise Hart, his late brother’s wife, and the woman who’s haunted him for years. Eloise is chaos in human form. Tattooed, reckless, and unapologetic, she lives her life with zero regrets. The world sees her as a disaster waiting to happen, a woman who drags Elijah’s name into scandal every chance she gets. But what they don’t know is that she’s the one woman he’s never been able to let go. Elijah knows he should stay away, that every time he’s near her, he risks losing everything—his reputation, his empire, and the respect he has to his late brother. He swore he’d never cross that line, but how long can he resist when Eloise is the one thing he’s always wanted but could never have? Because for Eloise, she could fuck every man on the planet, but not him. Not her brother-in-law.

When Sadie Blake died clutching divorce papers, watching her husband Marcus Whitmore and best friend Gwen celebrate over her poisoned body, she swore her last breath would not be in vain. Betrayed, beaten, and robbed of her unborn child, she closed her eyes on a life of shattered dreams. But fate had other plans. Sadie awakens three years in the past, standing before the same three marriage contracts that once sealed her doom. The first belongs to Marcus Whitmore—the man who would become her murderer. The second to Julian Ashford—her childhood sweetheart who chose Gwen over her. The third to Damien Cross—the disabled CEO she'd callously rejected, pitying his wheelchair-bound condition. This time, Seraphina knows exactly who to choose. What she doesn't know is that Damien Cross harbors his own deadly secret. Reborn from his own violent death at Marcus and Gwen's hands, he's spent three years plotting their destruction.

In a game where love and revenge intertwine, will Sadie and Damien become each other's salvation, or will their secrets tear apart their second chance at life? Sometimes the greatest revenge is living well... together.

Quand j'ai été encerclée par la meute de renégats loin de notre territoire, j'ai envoyé un lien mental à mon compagnon, Alpha Luke, le suppliant de m'aider. Il m'a refusée quinze fois — et finalement, il a bloqué complètement le lien. À la fin, je me suis effondrée d'épuisement et j'ai perdu connaissance, ma louve hurlant de désespoir. Quand je me suis réveillée à l'infirmerie, Alex, le commandant de la Tribu des Loups-Garous, était assis calmement à mes côtés. C'était lui qui avait reçu mon appel désespéré. Il avait mené ses guerriers, écrasé les renégats et m'avait arrachée à la mort. J'ai pris une grande inspiration et j'ai dit avec une détermination sans faille : « Alex, j'ai pris ma décision. J'irai dans le Territoire du Nord pour l'entraînement. Je pars dans deux jours. » Dix minutes plus tard, Luke a fait irruption dans la pièce avec Kristie — sa soi-disant sœur adoptive — et nos jumeaux qui le suivaient de près. « Tu as monté cette mise en scène juste pour éclipser Kristie ? Tu te rends compte de la force guerrière que tu as gaspillée pour flatter ton ego ? Tu ne mérites pas d'être Luna ! » Mon fils aîné, Chris, m'a lancé un regard perçant et a ricané : « Elle est où, ta blessure, Maman ? Tu as l'air en parfaite santé. Tu as tout simulé juste pour attirer l'attention ? » Mon fils cadet, Colin, m'a regardée avec des yeux pleins de déception. Il a lentement secoué la tête et a murmuré : « Maman, tu nous as encore menti… juste parce qu'on aime davantage Kristie ? » Kristie a serré la main de Luke, sa voix tremblait d'une fausse innocence tandis que des larmes coulaient sur ses joues : « Je suis désolée, Christina… Je ne fêterai plus jamais mon anniversaire. S'il te plaît… arrête de créer des problèmes à Luke et aux jumeaux. » J'ai serré les poings, retenant ma louve furieuse. J'ai regardé les quatre tourner les talons et sortir sans un seul regard en arrière.

Lumaking magkahiwalay si Dane at ang kakambal niyang si Dianne nang magkahiwalay ang mga magulang nila. Siya ay lumaki sa hirap habang ang kakambal ay lumaki sa marangyang buhay. Wala ng ibang hiling si Dane kundi ang mapayapa at tahimik lang na buhay, pero isang araw, may dumating na isang lalaki, at ibinalita nito sa kanya ang tunay niyang pagkatao kasama na dun ang pagkawala ng kakambal niyang kapatid. Then a man wearing a black mask came, and his name is Dark. Tama ang sinabi ni Calil na aakalainin nito na siya ang babaeng hinahanap nito!

Magagawa ba niyang pigilan ang pusong umibig kay Dark? Gayong kaya siyang ipagkalulu ng kanyang sarili sa bawat halik at yakap nito.

In the two years after Bradley Vaughn's so-called "memory loss," we divorced seven times—all to keep his childhood crush Vivian Monroe happy. Number eight? Because Vivian got pregnant. "You can't have kids anyway. Once Vivian has the baby, we'll get back together. You can raise the kid." That was his usual ice-cold line as he slid the papers across the table. That night, he kicked me out—said Vivian got nauseous just seeing me. I moved into another house. Alone. In the rain. Even after I landed in the ER from a near assault, he didn't bother asking if I was okay. Then one day, I spotted him at a clinic with Vivian. He rubbed her belly and laughed, "So what if she finds out I faked the amnesia? She can't live without me. Toss her a bone, she'll come crawling." I looked away, steady. Then my phone buzzed. [How did your checkup go?]
