Zodiac Sign

Mula sa mundo ng mga ilaw, alak, at mga lalaking may pera, sanay na si Aithne Montillano na magpanggap. Magpanggap na masaya siya sa ginagawa niya kahit alam niya sa sarili niyang hindi.Kahit kailan man ay hindi siya magiging masaya sa pagiging club entertainer, pero kahit pa man ganun ang kanyang trabaho ay hinding hindi siya nagpapagalaw sa mga customers niya, tanging hawak lang ang mga ito sa hita niya o kaya hinahalikan siya ng mga ito sa leeg. Kahit palibutan siya ng mga mayayamang lalaki gabi gabi, ay may isang prinsipyo siyang hindi kailanman binasag, ang sarili niya ay hindi kailanman ibebenta kapalit ng salapi. Hanggang nakilala niya si Havoc Marchetti- isang ruthless billionaire CEO, kilala siya sa pagiging walang awa sa negosyo at walang awang pinapalampas na kahinaan. Sanay siyang manalo, sa boardroom, sa deals, at sa buhay. Isang maling desisyon lang ng kalaban ay kaya niyang agawin ang kumpanya, wasakin ang reputasyon, at lumakad palayo na parang wala lang. Perpekto ang buhay ni Havoc. Kahit babae nabibili niya, at wala siyang balak mag asawa dahil para sa kanya ang pagpapakasal ay isang kulungang kailanman ay hindi niya matatakasan, ngunit makulit ang ina niya, madalas siya nitong kinukulit kung kailan siya mag-aasawa at magkaroon ng anak. Sa isang gabing puno ng tensyon at tahimik na titigan ay biglang gumawa ng alok si Havoc na hindi kayang tanggihan ni Aithne. Isang gabi. Isang kontrata. Isang halagang kayang magligtas ng buhay. Dahil sa trahedyang magpapatumba sa kanyang mundo , mapipilitan si Aithne na suwayin ang sarili niyang panata.Habang mas lumalım ang kanilang ugnayan, mas lumalabo ang linya sa pagitan ng pagnanasa, damdamin, at pag-ibig. Sa mundong lahat ay may presyo, hanggang saan mo kayang ibenta ang sarili mo kapag puso mo na ang nakataya?

In a world where fairness should reign, injustice often holds sway. It's a place where the innocent suffer, where hard work doesn't always lead to success, and where privilege trumps merit. It's a world that can break hearts, crush dreams, and leave scars that never fully heal. Yet, amidst the darkness, there's still hope – hope for change, for empathy, and for a future where fairness isn't just a distant ideal, but a lived reality for all. But maybe that's not for me. After exchanging the rings I heaved a sigh of relief thinking that could be true, maybe there's truly hope somewhere. " You may now kiss the bride", the priest permitted. Every step he took towards me made me feel nervous, my heart pounding as fast as it could, and slowly he lifted my veil. I could bet I saw a smile for a second but it was immediately replaced with that of disgust on seeing me and he nearly puked. I thought this would be the beginning of dreams and not a nightmare but this would even be my worst nightmare. Wedding days are supposed to be the happiest days right? But that's not the case for me. Who said this world was ever fair? That was a big lie, if it is, to what extent?

Ketika hadirmu tak lagi diharapkan. Ketika bahagiamu tak lagi diupayakan. Ketika cintamu tak lagi terbalaskan. Tunggu apa lagi sayang? Putar langkahmu! Ambil langkah seribu! Tunjukkan pada suami tak bergunamu itu, jika di luar sana, masih banyak yang menginginkanmu!

There was an open secret among upper-class society. The wealthy man, Brandon Anderson, loved his wife to death. However, he was addicted to cheating on her. He would give everything those young women wanted from him, but he had one strict rule for them: not to expose anything to his wife. Everyone knew that he had loved his wife for ten years, and he had put in a lot of effort to marry her. He had once said that if his wife died, he would not survive. However, this latest mistress did not follow his instruction. She came to me because he doted on her. She sent me a lot of photos of condoms and his sleeping face. “Ms. Lowe, this brand is too good. I was screaming the whole night. Has Mr. Anderson ever used that with you?” It was that moment that I realized the young man who was infatuated with me had given his heart to me, but his body to other people. When I saw the photos, I cried so hard that I had no more tears. Then, I drafted a divorce agreement and signed it. I turned around and saw Brandon, seventeen again, crying as he stared at me.

Five years. That's how long Alina Hayes has been Mrs. Daniel Blackwood—in name only. Their arranged marriage gave her a title, a mansion, and a son to love. But her billionaire husband? He's never shared her bed, remembered their anniversary, or looked at her like a wife. When Clarissa Sterling—Daniel's first wife, the woman who abandoned them—returns, everything Alina built crumbles. His mother wants her gone. High society whispers. And Daniel? He won't fight for her. Alina faces an impossible choice: stay invisible in a loveless marriage, or walk away from the only child who's ever called her "Mom."

The new intern claimed she had clairvoyant sight. With just one look, she could tell exactly where the underground gold deposits were. As the institute’s chief gold prospector, I was deeply embarrassed. Every time I went through hell to locate a vein, she somehow managed to report it to the institute before I could. Even the engineering crew working under me was full of complaints. “What kind of chief prospector is she? Following her means panning in the river one day and digging holes in the mountains the next. We work ourselves half to death and get nothing to show for it!” “Exactly. Look at Jane. She just joined the institute and has already found two major gold mines. The crews working with her have already earned first-class commendations.” While the crew complained about me, I began to suspect that someone among them was leaking information. So the next time I went out to search for gold, I worked alone and finally found a major deposit. But just as I was about to report it to the institute, I discovered that Jane had beaten me to it again. That time, I couldn’t hold back anymore. I openly questioned her and accused her of stealing my work. She fired back, claiming her clairvoyant sight had shown her that I had been secretly pocketing gold from the mine. Even my fiancé stepped forward and testified against me. In the end, I was sent to prison on false charges and died there, never able to clear my name. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my fiancé’s junior apprentice first claimed she had clairvoyant sight.

I was madly in love with James Gates for 10 years. So mad that everyone in the Imperium said that I was addicted to him. How far did it go? I wouldn't allow any woman to get close to him. I wanted to eliminate every woman around him. In the end, James sent me to rehab. While others quit smoking, drinking, or gaming, I was quitting James. But later, I truly moved on from him. Yet, he regretted it and, in the pouring rain, begged me to love him again.

I sat at the table, watching the food grow cold, much like my heart. Today was my birthday. It was also Leslie Buck's birthday—Katherine White's childhood sweetheart. I unlocked my phone and opened Leslie's social media page. As expected, a new post awaited me. "Grateful to have you by my side for every birthday. Let's keep our promise to celebrate every one of them together in the future!" The photo showed two hands forming a heart in front of a cake. One of them was Katherine's. I could tell from the bracelet she wore. It was the one I had given her. I gave the post a like, then set my phone aside. Without hesitation, I dumped the dishes Katherine liked into the trash and went out to a restaurant to order the food I liked, celebrating my birthday alone. From now on, I would make sure to enjoy every birthday of mine.
