You Were Always A Losing Game

Violet had gone through it all—betrayed by her own family, mocked by her ex for being broke, and ending up in bed with Julian, the city’s most notorious playboy. Worse, he’d threatened her into marrying him. So began a marriage she never could’ve imagined. Only later did she realize that her so-called womanizer of a husband wasn’t actually reckless at all, but carefully maintaining the image of a spoiled rich heir. And from the start, their marriage had been built on lies. She once overheard him tell someone, “We’ll divorce. We have to. This marriage isn’t even real.” Her heart went cold. They did divorce. But fate kept pulling them back into each other’s lives. One day, with a rare honesty in his eyes, Julian said softly, “Give me a chance. Let’s start over.”

A secret society of widows. A cold billionaire with a deadly past. One woman sent to seduce him... and destroy him. When Genevieve Holloway buries her husband, she thinks the worst is behind her. But the black-veiled woman at the funeral of her husband says otherwise. “You’ve been chosen.” Drawn into a shadowy society of grieving wives turned silent assassins, Genevieve is given one final task before she can walk free: infiltrate the life of Dominic Rourke—the enigmatic tech billionaire tied to her husband’s mysterious death—and expose the truth. Her mission is clear: seduce him. Infiltrate him. Ruin him. But Dominic Rourke is nothing like she expected. Cold. Calculating. Unreachable. And he’s never let any woman get close—until her. Worse still, his five-year-old daughter clings to Genevieve like a lost soul, whispering secrets she shouldn’t know. Secrets about her dead mother… and the club Genevieve now serves. The deeper Genevieve sinks into Dominic’s world, the more dangerous her own becomes. The women she trusted have blood on their hands. The man she was sent to destroy might be innocent. And the lies that bind them all go deeper than any grave. Genevieve begins to develop feelings for the man she’s sent to ruin, and he sees himself letting go of his cold nature to make her happy and find her husband’s killer. In a game of power, seduction, and betrayal, only one can survive. And Genevieve must decide: Is she the hunter or the hunted? Will she be Dominic’s ruin, or will she become his everything?

Certified raketera, palaban at walang inuurungan. Siya si Leah Rivera o mas kilala sa tawag na Iya ng mga taong malapit sa kaniya. Magmula pagkabata ay natuto na siyang maging isang raketera dahil maaga rin siyang tinuruan ng kaniyang ina na nagtitinda sa palengke ng kung anu-anong trabaho na sa kalaunan ay nakasanayan na niyang gawin. Ang kailangan niya ay pera. Pera na makakatulong sa kanila para mairaos ang kanilang pang-araw araw na pangangailangan at para na rin makatulong siya sa pagpapaaral sa kaniyang kambal na kapatid na ngayon ay nasa kolehiyo na. Likas kay Leah ang pagiging masayahin at pagkakaroon ng positibong pananaw sa buhay. Pero hindi sa lahat ng oras. Tulad na lamang nang isang gabi, habang nagse-serve siya ng alak sa mga mayayamang costumer ng bar na pinapasukan niya ay may nagtangkang mambastos sa kaniya. Dahil likas sa kaniya ang pagiging palaban, gumanti siya sa lalaki. Ang kaso, ang suntok na dapat na para rito ay dumapo sa isang kasama nito na wala namang ginawang masama sa kaniya. Paano kung ang lalaking hindi niya sinasadyang masuntok ay ang anak ng kaniyang boss? At anong gagawin niya kung sakaling magkagusto ito sa kaniya at yayain siya nitong magpakasal? Makakaya ba niyang tanggapin ang alok nito sa kaniya kapalit ng halaga na makapag-aahon sa kanila sa kahirapan? Will she ever fall in love with the man who is only good at pestering her with his stupid antics?
