"My Azi, what gift do you want for your upcoming birthday?" Azrael's mother asked. "An annulment paper," Azrael replied coldly and seriously. A mistake one night changed everything for Cylandria and Azrael. Because of this, their parents arranged a marriage for them. Azrael loved his first love, Arthel, but Cylandria still wanted to win him over. She worked hard to make Azi fall in love with her. She became desperate, letting herself be isolated with a heartless one. **** Azrael Chase F. Tuazon was a brilliant yet heartless businessman, irresistibly handsome, powerful, and confident. Women chased after him, but he saw love as a weakness and marriage as a burden. He was a devoted businessman but a neglectful husband. After being forced to marry Cylandria Esmeralda, his irresponsibility worsened, still clinging to his first love, Arthel. Cylandria Esmeralda Santiago-Tuazon, breathtakingly beautiful yet fragile, longed only for Azrael's love. Soft-spoken and naive, she sacrificed everything for him, blindly holding onto hope. Years passed with little joy in their marriage. Azrael made it clear that he did not love Cylandria, even though they were childhood best friends. After he suggested annulment many times, their parents decided it was time to separate them. They saw that the couple had not been happy for five long years. But what happens when she finally gets tired? Will their broken marriage find healing, or will she walk away for good?

What if destiny isn't something we wait for, but something we carve with our own hands? What if patience is only wasting time? What if waiting is just a way to lose what could have been ours? She learned early that love is not always given. It can be taken and even forced into being. Why wait for something to be meant for you, when you can make it meant for you? Cynthia has always been the kind of woman people warned others about. She was too much, too bold, too daring, undeniably untamed. Her love is fierce yet people called it as tainted, not because it was weak but because it was wild and unapologetic. A woman like her is too dangerous for the standards set against women. In a society that crowns one woman for being proper while condemning another for bein untamed, she became the paradox. A story no one dared to tell. A desire the world refused to understand. "Maybe she loved the wrong way... or maybe the world just wasn't ready for her." Tainted Desire @published_ @ry_xsht

At the age of twenty six years old, Scarlett got the title of being 'The Great Youngest General Chief Surgeon of Dwason Medical Center'. Since Scarlett was a kid she has had this number one goal in life. And it was to make her parents proud of her. That's the main reason why she let her parents control her until her parents told her that she was marrying Allison Shal Cruz, the sole heir of the Cruz. But, what if her childhood bestfriend and the woman of her life Jasmine Brei Clayton, who suddenly disappeared without saying any word to her seven years ago; came back here to claim her again when she was already engaged to Allison? **** Our story is not perfect. We're not perfect. We are not like the other couples out there, because our love is forbidden in the eyes of everyone. Our feelings are all wrong. Our relationship is the biggest mistake we made, but we still take the risk. We both take the risk but I'm the only one who chooses to fight. She left me. Not once but twice. I love her and I choose to wait for her, because I do believe in fate and destiny. But I also believe that we are only fated to do the things that we'd choose to do. And I'd choose her, in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I'll wait for her and I will choose her until forever. Because at the end of the day she's the person I want to come home to. She's the person I want to tell how my day went. She's the person I want to share my happiness, sadness, frustration, and success with. Only with her. Only with my girl. Only with Jasmine. -Dra. Scarlett Miles Dwason

Dominic John Pierceton is the perfect gentleman-a tall, devastatingly handsome American ambassador with a chiseled jawline, piercing blue eyes, and a carefully measured charm that commands every room. His life is built on control, his reputation spotless, his restraint unwavering. But the moment he meets Maria Elenna "Mela" Dellos Valles-Montejo-the shy, eighteen-year-old daughter of the Philippine President with a quiet grace that hides her own buried desires-his world tilts in ways he never anticipated. Mela's innocence is disarming, her blushes revealing what her lips won't dare say. She's only known men like him in the pages of her sister's forbidden romance novels, but Dominic's attention stirs something deeper, something that makes her heart race and leaves her wanting more. For Mela, the stakes are just as high; she knows how hard her mother worked to become president, and risking her family's reputation is the last thing she wants. Yet, with each encounter, she finds herself caught between loyalty to her family and her undeniable pull toward the ambassador. Dominic tells himself he must keep his distance, yet every stolen glance, every accidental touch ignites a desire he can't ignore. Bound by duty and a flawless public image, he's always been in control-but with Mela, that control begins to slip. Behind closed doors, propriety and restraint give way to something darker, a chemistry neither of them can resist. Their worlds are at stake, and yet, neither can bring themselves to walk away. With each encounter, the pull between them grows stronger, promising a forbidden romance that will test how far The Gentleman is willing to go-and just how much Mela is willing to risk.
