Since before she was born, she was destined for me.  The payment of a past debt made her mine.    I was never part of her life, I never wanted her in mine, no matter how obsessed I was with the beauty of my sweet fiancée.    Fate is cruel, it dealt its hand, and now she sleeps peacefully in my bed. Now I must make those who made her cry pay dearly. She will be my wife, I will always have her, and I will never let her slip from my grasp.    Because I am the only one who has the right to evoke her tears, her laughter, her anger, her hatred, and her happiness.    Only me, Vlad Romanov.    *** Since I reached adulthood, I knew he was my betrothed.    Due to a debt being paid, he became mine without my consent.  I have never been part of his life, I have never wanted him to be part of mine, because I don't know him, because I neither love him nor want him, because I hate him. But fate is cruel and has dealt its cards, and now I must accept his hand as it takes mine, sleep next to him, endure his presence as he shows me off like a trophy in the middle of his filthy, tainted world. But I will make him wish he had never accepted my hand. I will push him to the point where he never wants to hear of me again. Only will I make him lose his mind. Only I will compel him to settle that debt to grant me my freedom.    Only I, Rebecca Reed.

At the tender age of nineteen, my life took an unexpected twist. I went from having it all to losing everything in an instant. Once a part of the esteemed and revered families in New York society, I was now disowned by those who held the most influence. To reclaim our former lives and regain what we had lost, a sacrifice had to be made: I had to marry Damon Lombardi. Damon, a man of power, intellect, and high demands, was also known for his ruthlessness and inhumanity. That was the extent of my knowledge about him. Damon had been in a coma for three long years following a mysterious car accident, and his condition was deteriorating with each passing day. His grandmother sought someone to marry him in his vegetative state, with the intention of leaving him her entire inheritance. And I, by some stroke of luck, was chosen to become the esteemed Mrs. West. My intentions may not be noble, but I must endure for two years to execute my plan. It should be a simple task, or so I hope. I only pray that he never awakens.

Ang pangalan ko ay Abigail Estrada, sa labing siyam na taong gulang pa lamang, umikot ng isandaan at walumpung degrees ang buhay ko. Galing ako sa buhay na lahat ng bagay ay mayroon ako, hanggang sa nawala ang lahat sa akin. Mula sa pamumuhay ng isang magandang buhay, pagiging bahagi ng isa sa mga pinakaiginagalang na pamilya sa lipunan ng Manila , hanggang sa itakwil ng mga pinaka-maimpluwensyang pamilya. Upang bumalik sa dati ang aming pamumuhay at mabawi ang lahat ng nawala sa amin, kailangan kong magsakripisyo: kailangan kong pakasalan si Ares Valdez. Isang makapangyarihan, wais, matalino at mataas na kalidad na tao. At walang awa, mapaghiganti at hindi makatao. Iyon ang alam ko tungkol sa kanya. Tatlong taon nang na-coma si Ares dahil sa hindi maipaliwanag na aksidente sa sasakyan at sa isang diagnosis na lumalala araw-araw. Ang kanyang lola ay naghahanap ng isang taong magpapakasal sa kanya sa kanyang vegetative state upang iwanan sa kanya ang lahat ng kanyang mana at ako ang masuwerteng napili. Ako ang magiging kagalang-galang na Mrs. Valdez. Ang aking mga intensyon ay hindi mabuti, ngunit kailangan kong magtiis ng dalawang taon nang sa gayon ay matupad ang aking plano. Isang bagay na madali sa palagay ko. Sana lang ay hindi na siya magising.

On their way to their honeymoon, a tragic car accident almost took their lives, and when she woke up after several days, she had a rude awakening.

He is now a cruel, cold, arrogant, and arrogant man who doesn't remember her, who knows nothing about her existence. Barbara must pretend not to love the man who will now be her boss, pretend not to know him, pretend not to be his wife, because now that man is married to another woman and apparently loves her as much as he loved Barbara five years ago.

Eros West was raised with a single goal: to be as feared in the business world as his father. He achieved it, and not only did he learn to be a calculating, astute, and shrewd man; he also learned the tricks of his predecessor. Being the eldest son of a man that New York's high society nicknamed "The Ruthless," what else could be expected of his apprentice? Not only did he become twice as ruthless as his father, but he also became an immoral man, with a more than questionable reputation, making it clear that he would never fall in love. He had all the money to pay for the nights he wanted with the woman of his choosing. He had the power to make anyone who stood in his way tremble. Whoever dared to question him, one order was enough to eliminate them. An order he couldn't bring himself to give when he met her, Siena Barone. One highly passionate night was enough to bind their lives to the point of creating dependency. For both of them, it was just another night, until they took off their masks and realized the truth. Without planning it, they both began a totally intense, immoral, and questionable game due to their age difference. Unexpectedly, the game became highly toxic. Without imagining it, the two began a totally passionate romance, secretly agreeing to "all or nothing" in what was to come. Will a morally gray, shameless man with a totally questionable attitude be able to be loyal to the agreement he made with the young woman he watched grow up as a child, and who will now be a part of his daily life? 

There is a myth surrounding the most powerful family in Italy. It is said that from generation to generation, a monster comes to inherit the crown of its predecessor and rules over the city. Additionally, with the crown, he had the right to choose a young maiden from an influential family to be his wife and queen of his castle. I never believed in these myths because I thought monsters didn't exist, and in this century, a man cannot choose a young wife at random. However, I was wrong. The monster exists, and his name is Daemon Barone. He was completely disfigured after an accident, turning him into a shadow, an enigma, a mystery. No one has seen him since that day, and the only thing known about him is that he lost all the beauty that was once given to him by the gods. Hidden in his castle, ruling Italy and the world by creating the best wine, the monster would seek a wife to give him an heir. Although he had many options, he chose me, Serafina Fiore. Can I refuse to become his wife? Of course not, because the monster has me in his clutches. He knows my secret, one that I have worked hard to keep hidden for several years. He also knows my fears, and I have no choice but to accept my destiny, becoming the respected Mrs Barone, owner of the castle and companion of the man no one has seen in more than five years.
