Jared Dela Torre is on a mission: to expose Maddison. A few years back, she popped up claiming to be the daughter his dad had outside of marriage. His dad's been gone for ten years, so nobody would know if she was telling the truth. To everyone’s surprise, his grandfather welcomed her, sparking scandalous whispers of an affair. Jared is convinced she’s a gold digger, a con artist preying on his grandfather and their wealth. His plans are flipped upside down when he unexpectedly becomes the guardian of twin orphans. Now he’s caught up in the lives of Calyx and Amber, whose messy pasts are just like the secrets he’s trying to dig up. As they seek his attention, Jared struggles to keep his distance, a battle that threatens to cross forbidden lines. Just as Jared finds himself irresistibly drawn to Maddison, he ends up tangled in a web of hidden desires and dark secrets of the three young women. Will Jared uncover the truth? Will he be able to protect those he loves, or will their dark secrets consume them all?

“I want a divorce!” Angela said, staring at her young and handsome husband with her head high. “You had the nerve to tell me that? Fine! Who wants to stay married to an ugly and stupid woman?” Sky Mars scoffed, looking at her from head to toe. “How much do you want from me?” He asked, thinking she only married him for his money. “I don’t need your money, Sky. Only that,” Angela pointed at the beautiful handmade quilt on the bed. “Not only you’re ugly and stupid, but you’re also crazy. Take this, sign the divorce papers, and don’t ever come back,” He took the blue peacock design comforter on the bed, throwing it at her. She picked up the quilt that landed on the floor and turned her back on him, hugging the soft fabric as she walked toward the door. She did not bother correcting him that she was not ugly and stupid, but crazy? Maybe. She was probably insane falling in love with Sky, that not only the name and status is beyond her reach but also his heart.

“Kayleigh, you will either take your pants off, or I’ll do it!” Alexander Hearst warned her. If her thighs were not swelling and in pain, this could probably lead to something else because the way he said it turned her on. “Then do it.” She could not take her joke back because he had already opened the button and pulled down the zipper of her pants. Carefully, he took her pants off, and she could hear him gasp as he carefully touched the red skin. He jolted when she yelped in pain. “What’s this, Kayleigh?” His voice was low and angry. She wished to tell him she was lucky her father did not hang her on the wall to punish her for getting married without telling them. It was an accidental marriage, only for convenience, but who would have thought she would be married to the stranger she met at the elevator, the gorgeous, sexually attractive, and luscious man she had ever met?

Amanda has always lived in the shadows of her perfect sister, of her glamorous boss’s fiancée, and of the woman she wishes she could be. As a loyal assistant to the brilliant but emotionally distant CEO Logan Montgomery, Amanda hides her feelings behind spreadsheets and late nights, never daring to dream he could love someone like her. But everything changes when she opens a long-forgotten gift from her late grandmother. It is a dusty music box that unleashes Brad, a devastatingly handsome genie with a sharp tongue and a heart full of secrets. With unlimited wishes at her fingertips and a lifetime of insecurities to erase, Amanda begins reshaping her world—beauty, brains, wealth, and even love. Yet magic comes with consequences. When her dream life begins to unravel, Amanda must confront the truth: no wish can make someone love you, and no transformation can replace self-worth. As she rebuilds her life with Brad’s unexpected help, Amanda discovers that the most powerful magic lies not in wishes, but in believing she was enough all along.

"Why do I have to be so lucky?" The stranger smirked, moving closer to Eve. Eve bit her bottom lip, breathing hard as she heard his deep and unmistakably s*xy voice for the first time. He was not doing anything to her yet, but the mere sound of his voice and his brown eyes slowly traveling down to her body made her burn with desire. Suddenly, she realized she should have done something during those years of being alone because, at this point, she was like a walking volcano at its highest alert level, ready to erupt. "I..." She forgot her name, even her purpose of being there. Maybe that was because she had forgotten herself and put others first, thinking it would mean a happy life. She was a single mother and hoarded problems like they were collections. Her problems grew faster than her children. When the stranger crushed her mouth with his soft lips, she kissed him back. Eve thought of becoming selfish, wishing him to fill that emptiness in her life, even for a while. She was already unhappy. What else could go wrong?

''Have you ever had s*x on the plane?'' A question that made it more interesting for Blake Williamson. The interview became more interesting for him when they found out that it contained dirty questions related to s*x. He became more interested in Tara Evans because, despite the questions, she did the interview professionally. She was the first woman he met who seemed not interested in him, unlike other women who were always ready to undress in front of him. For him, Tara is an extraordinary woman who enchanted him. She was like a transformed live-action character from fairy tale stories who still believes in true love, and simple life can still make you happy. Blake believed he was the perfect man for her until he found out that she was looking for an honest man with great conviction in life and definitely not a millionaire, the exact opposite of him. He lied the first time they met, and the truth was that he was not just rich but a renowned youngest billionaire in the country.
