Leticia Lovelace believed in patience. She believed in promises. Most of all, she believed in the man who swore he would wait forever. For five years she endured miscarriages, IVF cycles, injections, and heartbreak-while her billionaire husband Victor Diaz held her hand in every waiting room and promised she wasn't broken. He lied. On their fifth anniversary, Leticia receives a message from the one person she trusted almost as much as her husband: her younger sister, Eva. The photo shows a newborn baby. Victor's baby. Leticia doesn't scream. She doesn't cause a scene. She walks away and erases her husband with surgical precision. Within days the scandal destroys Victor's reputation. But Leticia doesn't stay to watch him fall. She disappears. Months later, far from the wreckage of her old life, Leticia discovers something impossible-she's pregnant. The miracle she prayed for. And the one man who will never know about it... is the child's father. Until fate forces them into the same waiting room. Now the truth is unavoidable. But this isn't a love story about forgiveness. It's a story about consequences. Because some betrayals break more than hearts. They change who you become.

[Synopsis Title: The Wife No One Knew] She loses her baby because her husband's daughter pushes her down the stairs-and when she wakes in the hospital, Ethan Sterling's first concern is damage control, not her grief. Claire Hayes has spent years loving a man who keeps her hidden. At the office, she is just another low-level employee. At home, she is the secret wife of the cold, untouchable CEO. She tells herself his distance is temporary, that his silence means less than the vows they signed in private. Then one cruel accident rips away her child-and with it, every excuse she has ever made for him. As gossip swirls about Ethan and his ex-wife Vanessa rebuilding their perfect family, Claire starts to see the truth: her marriage was built on convenience, her kindness was mistaken for weakness, and the little girl who hurt her may be just another victim in a far uglier game. Between workplace humiliation, buried resentment, and a husband who only realizes what he's losing when she stops reaching for him, Claire is forced to choose between staying in a life that keeps breaking her... or walking away for good. But leaving Ethan Sterling is not simple. Not when his daughter clings to her, his ex-wife sharpens her claws, and the man who never fought for her suddenly refuses to let her go. This time, Claire won't beg to be loved. The only question is whether Ethan will understand that before he loses her forever.

Asha woke up with her eyes wide and her hand reaching for something or someone in the air. She was out of breath as she tries to sit up. She leans her back on something hard as a light throbbing headache disorients her. But then she remembers what had happened. She and her father were being chased by their rival Mafia while they were rock climbing on one of the volcanic mountains in the Sierra. They were outnumbered and was severely injured when they reached the crater. Her father was about to fall off the crater but she pulled him out of the way and she fell instead. She can feel the raging heat against her face as she drops closer to the magma bed when suddenly she heard a piercing cry of a bird then she blacked out. She pats herself up and felt that she is okay except for the cuts and bruises she got from the chase. She then looks at her surroundings. "Where the hell am I? Is this... a cave?"
