Bethaly Maligaya, a typical modern manang. Betchay for short pero mas kilala bilang "Ugly Betchay".
Bakit "Ugly Betchay"? Eh kasi sabi nila, which sad to say true nga, kahit ano pang pagpapaganda ang gawin ko... masuot ng mamahaling alahas, magsuot ng magaganda at seksing damit, magsuot ng high heels o mag-make up... waley parin. Wala parin akong pag-asang gumanda.
At ang isang katulad ko ay pangarap lamang ang mapansin ng aking super ultra papayummylicious boss na si Wayne Jesther Aguirre-William - former actor slash model. Sa dami ba naman kasing umaaligid na mayayaman, magaganda at seksing babae dito mapansin pa kaya ako?
Kumbaga sa story na "Beauty and the Beast", siya si Beauty at ako naman ang Beast. That's why I always put in my mind na imposibleng maging kami.
Pero minsan 'di ko rin maiwasang isipin na... tulad kaya ng kwentong ito, magkakaroon din kaya kami ng happily ever after?

Heated Deceptions: A Collaboration Novel written by heartlessnostalgia and HiroYuu101
How far would you go for the man you love to love you back? For Rylee, she would do anything--even lie about a pregnancy--for North Alvarado.
***
Rylee Addison Sandoval's longtime crush on her brother's best friend, North Alvarado, isn't a secret. It's as embarrassing as they come, even pretending to get lost around the college department just to catch a glimpse of him. Everyone thinks it's unrequited, even Rylee herself, but one drunk night with North changes it all. Grabbing an opportunity to have him forever, Rylee tells everyone she's pregnant with his baby. North is willing to take responsibility for her and the child, but one problem: there is no child. How long can Rylee's deception last until North finally discovers the truth? And will love be enough for him to forgive her...or not?
