_When the queen they tormented returns with no memory of their cruelty, three stepbrothers must win back the woman they drove away—before she remembers why she left._ Kaia was nothing but the unwanted stepsister to three powerful brothers: Dante, the ruthless Alpha heir; Marcus, the silver-tongued Beta; and Ash, the enigmatic Seer. They made her childhood a living hell—until one night of forbidden passion changed everything, and she vanished without a trace. Years later, a mysterious woman named “Scarlet” appears at a rogue checkpoint, bearing the ancient royal mark of a long-lost pack queen. She’s beautiful, dangerous, and has no memory of who she was. When the three brothers are summoned to identify her, they’re stunned to discover the truth: she’s Kaia, transformed into something far more powerful than they ever imagined. Now she’s falling for all three men who once tormented her, and they’re desperate to reclaim what they lost. But as Scarlet begins to remember fragments of her past—the bullying, the betrayal, and the dark power sealed in her royal bloodline—she realizes the brothers aren’t just fighting for her love. They’re fighting for their lives. Because when a forgotten queen remembers her crown, she also remembers her enemies.

I'm on my way to get married when a truck slams into my car from behind. After being unconscious for a long time, I hear the doctor telling my fiancee that I might lose my memory. I decide to have a little fun and open my eyes, pretending to be confused. "Who are you?" My fiancee goes completely still. I'm about to admit I'm only teasing her, but before I can, she grabs my best man's hand without a second thought. "I'm Janice Lloyd, your best friend's fiancee. You got into a car accident on your way to our wedding."

On the day of my coming-of-age ceremony, my father’s brother-in-arms pushed photos of his daughters in front of me and told me to choose a fiancee. Without hesitation, I picked the photo of the eldest daughter, Yvonne Shaw. Everyone around me stared in shock. They all knew that I was deeply in love with the second daughter, Natalie Shaw. In my previous life, I had chased after Natalie for ten years before finally marrying her. Through our marriage, she became the heiress of the Shaw family. But three years after we got married, she became pregnant with my brother’s child. Our parents were furious. They forced her to get an abortion and sent my brother away. From then on, Natalie hated me to the core. Every night, she would bring home men who looked like my brother and spend the night with them. The constant torment wore me down, and I eventually fell gravely ill and died a miserable death. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to that night when I had to choose a fiancee. This time, I chose to let them be together. But what I did not expect was that Natalie had been reborn too.

I was framed by my boyfriend's childhood sweetheart and spent five years in prison. While I was locked away, he moved her into my home, seized my property, and built a perfect life, thriving off everything I worked for. However, I would take back everything that they stole from me.

I should’ve known better than to fall for Drake Peterson— my boss, my secret, my addiction, and the only man who could ruin me with a whisper. For two forbidden years, I lived a life no one knew about. By day, I was his perfect secretary. By night, I was the woman he kept hidden in his arms, tangled in his sheets, and locked behind a contract that said I would never expect more. I lied. To him. To myself. To the shattered girl staring back at me every morning. Because I did fall for him—hopelessly, stupidly, completely. And then he destroyed me. With one cold conversation, he terminated our arrangement, handed me a monstrous payout, and told me to walk away like I meant nothing. No explanation. No softness. Just an order: “This is the end, Sabrina.” So I erased him. Deleted my social media. Vanished from New York. And used the money he gave me to build something new— Mendoza Luxe, the jewelry empire that turned me into the woman he never thought I could become. I told myself I was over him. Until the day I ran into an old coworker… and learned the truth I was never meant to hear: Drake is bankrupt. He never married his fiancée. And everything he threw away—including me— he did to protect my life. Now the man who once owned every breath I took is falling from the top… and fate is dragging us back into the same fire that burned us alive. Old desire doesn’t fade. Old wounds don’t heal. Old enemies don’t forget. I survived Drake Peterson once. The question is— can we survive the truth that tore us apart?

Ako si Martin Del Rivas. Ang mga tao sa labas ay nakikita ako bilang perpektong senador, ang presidente sa hinaharap, ang bachelor na kinakikiligan ng bansa. Ang mga ngiti nila, ang pagpupuri sa akin… lahat ay pekeng salamin. Sa loob, ako ay umiiyak sa dilim na hindi nila nakikita, umiiyak sa pagkawala na hindi nila mauunawaan. Hindi nila alam na may isang pintuan sa mansion ko na hindi dapat buksan. At may isang babae akong sinasambit sa bawat gabi,na hindi lamang alaala ng trahedya, kundi dahilan ng lahat ng aking galit. Si Savanna ang naging pugad ng aking pagkawasak, ang sentro ng bawat galit , bawat obsesyon na hindi ko matakasan. Hindi ko siya kinuha dahil gusto ko. Kinuha ko siya dahil kailangan kong itama ang mundo na pinabayaan niya at sa bawat araw na siya ay nakadapa sa harap ko, bawat luha na hindi niya dapat ipapakita, lalo akong nagiging alipin ng sarili kong galit. Akala niya libreng buhay ang kanyang makakamtan sa mansion ko. Akala niya kalayaan ang makikita niya sa bawat galaw ko. Pero mali siya. Ako ang may hawak, hindi lang ng katawan niya, kundi pati ng kanyang hininga, ng bawat takot at galit na sinusupil niya sa loob. At kahit nararamdaman ko ang pagbabago sa puso ko, kahit ang galit ay nagiging pangungulila, alam kong hindi ko siya kayang bitawan. Hindi ko siya kayang talikuran. Siya ang dahilan ng aking pagkawasak, at siya rin ang dahilan ng aking pagbangon. At sa bawat gabing ako ay mag isa, habang iniisip ang mga nagdaang trahedya, naiintindihan ko na ang laban na ito, ang pagmamahal at poot, ang obsesyon at pagkawasak ay hindi matatapos. Hindi kailanman. Sapagkat sa kanya ko naramdaman ang ganap na kontrol, at sa kanya ko rin naramdaman ang ganap na kawalan ng kapangyarihan.

Isang nurse. Isang imperyo. Isang kasal na pinirmahan sa dugo. Hindi kailanman hinangad ni Stefanie Rivera ang kapangyarihan—pero isang malupit na kasunduan ang nagtulak sa kanya bilang tagapagmana ng pinakamalaking airline empire sa Asya… at mortal na kaaway ng sinumang nais maagaw ito. Si Adrian Zubiri—malamig, matalino, at sugatan ng nakaraan—siya dapat sana ang tunay na tagapagmana. Pero ngayon, napilitan siyang pakasalan ang babaeng pinaka-kinamumuhian niya para mabawi ang lahat. Ang plano niya? Wasakin siya. Ipahiya siya. Durugin siya. Ngunit hindi marunong yumuko si Stefanie. Lumalaban siya—at ang apoy niya’y lalo lang nagiging tukso kay Adrian. Mula sa kasunduang puno ng galit, sumiklab ang isang mapanganib na laro ng pagnanasa. At sa gitna ng mga kaaway, iskandalo, at nag-aalab na damdamin, pipili si Adrian: protektahan ang imperyo… o ang babaeng kailanman ay hindi dapat naging kanya. Sa mundong ang kapangyarihan, ang pera at ang pag-ibig ay kahinaan— Mas ligtas ang galit. Pero bakit siya nauuhaw sa babaeng puwedeng tuluyang sumira sa kanya? "She was supposed to be his punishment. He was supposed to be her enemy. But in a war between hate and love—only the heart can decide who wins"

Akala ko mababaon ko na sa limot ang nakaraan. Eighteen years ago, I walked away from the man I loved, clutching the tiny life growing inside me, shattering my own heart to protect my child. Binuo ko ang mundo ko mula sa simula, pinalaki si Gian nang may lakas at pagmamahal, at hinubog ang reputasyon ko bilang Queen Verdict, hindi matatalo at matatag sa korte. Para sa akin, ang Maynila, ang lungsod ng pagkakanulo, ay mundo na isinara ko na magpakailanman. But life has a way of dragging you back into the fire. Nang mapilitan akong humarap sa imperyo ng Aragon sa korte, I’m not prepared for the ghosts of my past especially Nathan, now standing across the courtroom from me, representing the family that once tore us apart. Ang tensyon ay matindi, personal, at imposibleng balewalain. At si Laura, na parang anino ng dilim, na may bulong ng tukso at kaguluhan, nagpapakita kay Nathan ng dahilan para makalimot sa akin. I thought I could protect Gian from Nathan’s world, from their tangled history, but fate has other plans. Nang dumating ang panganib, napagtanto kong ang pag-ibig, katapatan, at tiwala ay laban sa sarili rin. Ang obsesyon ni Nathan, ang walang tigil niyang pagsunod, ang matinding proteksyon niya ay nakakaakit, nakakatakot, at nakalilito lahat ng sabay. I have a choice: let him back into our lives or keep the walls I’ve built, shielding my son from heartbreak again. Ngunit sa larong ito ng kapangyarihan, paghihiganti, at pagnanasa, natutunan ko ang isang bagay: a Queen rises, scars and all, to claim her throne. At gagawin ko ang lahat para protektahan ang pamilya ko, kahit harapin ang lalaking minahal ko noon ,kahit pa harapin ang aking mga kahihinatnan and the consequences I never imagined.

I never believed in second chances. Not after Cynthia. She was my confidant… until death tore her from me and left this mansion echoing with ghosts. Inilibing ko na rin ang puso ko kasabay ng pakamatay ni Cynthia . She was my wife. My peace. My mistake. Then her daughter moved in. Liza. The forbidden reminder of everything I shouldn’t want—young, alive, reckless in ways her mother never was. She looks at me like she sees through the monster I’ve become. Sa tuwing ngingiti siya,  the ache in my chest returns—violent, dangerous, hungry. Every brush of her skin ignites something I can’t bury anymore. I tell myself it’s guilt. I tell myself I’m just protecting her. Pero ang totoo? I want her. Hindi bilang stepdaughter. Not as Cynthia’s child. I want her as mine—completely, ruinously, irredeemably mine. They’ll call me a sinner. A man who crossed the line. Ngunit sa tuwing tinitingnan ako ni Liza, trembling, wanting... I knew I’d already crossed it. I tell myself I’m protecting her, but each night, the lie weakens. Because when she looks at me, it isn’t fear I see—it’s want. And God help me... I want her too. This isn’t love. It’s a beautiful disaster. And I’d burn the world just to feel her breathe my name again.
