In the brutal world of Philippine showbiz, Chrishna Dela Vega is just another nameless face- an extra in the background, an afterthought in a sea of influencers and plastic smiles. Humiliated, betrayed, and branded a liar, she reaches her breaking point beneath the glare of city lights and industry lies. She didn't jump but maybe she didn't move fast enough either.

When Chrishna wakes up, she's no longer herself.

She is Shuvee Salvador, the Philippines' most beloved A-list actress, the nation's darling, beautiful, powerful. 

Dead

Now inhabiting the body of a woman adored by millions, She is given everything she was once denied- fame, influence, and a second chance. But this isn't a fairytale. Shuvee's life wasn't perfect-it was a prison lined with luxury and secrets, and someone wanted her gone badly enough to make it happen.

She doesn't want to survive this time.
She wants revenge.

Armed with a borrowed face and a heart hardened by betrayal, she plays the perfect star, all while hunting the powerful players who destroyed both her life and Shuvee's. But as she dives deeper into the glittering rot of the industry, she catches the attention of Rafael Velasquez-a cold, obsessive producer who once kept his distance from Shuvee... and now refuses to look away.

The world that once chewed her up is watching her now and this time, she gets to write the ending.

"Why can't I fucking hit you?" Thomas yells, smacking the belt close to her feet. "Why," he smacks it on the door above her head. "Why, fucking why" to the right and left sides of her body. Melina trembles against the door with her eyes closed and head tucked between her knees. She jumps, sniffing Thomas' cologne, and tries to hide more. He's probably bending down. "I want to hurt you, Melina, but I fucking can't. Tell me why I fucking can't. Tell me why," she bites her lips to muffle her sobs as she fears they will exacerbate her situation. "Fucking look at me when I am talking to you," Thomas says, grabbing her hair and pulling her head up. "I am- so-r-r-r-y," she says as she turns to face him with her tear-stained face and bloodshot eyes. "Did you think it would work? Did you actually think you could get me arrested and then flee?

Reneesme Grace never believed in second chances - not for herself, and definitely not in love. A workaholic physiotherapist from the real world or what she thought and as far as she can remember, her life was a revolving door of duty and loneliness... until an accident pulled her consciousness into the novel she'd skimmed only once, "The Tyrant Disabled Billionaire". Waking up as Reneesme Grace, became a side character in a romantic drama, she finds herself in a realm of luxury, deception, and dark secrets - where every smile hides a dagger, and power is a currency of blood. Her new role? Private physical therapist to Elias Kane - the cold, brooding heir to the Kane conglomerate, recently paralyzed from the waist down after a suspicious plane crash.

What does she expect? The slow, smoldering intimacy that brews between them. Elias isn't just a patient. He's devastatingly magnetic, emotionally scarred, and dangerously perceptive. As her hands bring strength back to his body, he chips away at the fortress around her heart. But nothing in this world is as it seems. The crash that left Elias in a wheelchair was no accident - it was orchestrated by his jealous stepbrother, a puppet of their manipulative mother who's willing to destroy anyone for wealth and control. As Reneesme dives deeper into the tangled web of the Kane family's secrets, her presence begins to shift the story's fate - and Elias's. But changing a story comes at a cost. Especially when the heart is involved. Can love truly heal a shattered body and a tortured soul? Or will the novel devour them both before the last chapter is written?

Kalia's POV : Freedom ain't real. It's just a pretty lie people tell themselves to sleep better at night. Me? I've never been free. Not when I was born into a life where people used me like a tool. Not when I thought I escaped, only to get dragged back in. And sure as hell not now, trapped in a marriage I never wanted with a man who loves me like an addiction-obsessive, toxic, suffocating. Easton swears I belong to him. Calls me his, like I'm a possession, not a person. But I was never meant to be owned. Not by him. Not by anyone. And yet... I'm craving the one person I can't have. The one man I shouldn't want. Jay Kim. My husband's best friend. The only person who looks at me like I'm more than a pawn in someone else's game. The only man who's ever made me feel safe. But love in this world? It don't come without consequences. And choosing Jay? That'd be the kind of mistake that gets people killed. Jay's POV: I never wanted this empire. It was my uncle's before me-a kingdom built on blood, corruption, and greed. But when he fell, I had two choices: take control or let worse men have it. So I took it. And now? I'm doing what he never could. I'm fixing the mess he left behind. Cleaning up the dirt while keeping the wolves from tearing it apart. But then she came back. Kalia Gomez. The only woman who's ever made me want something outside of this life. The one I can't have-because she belongs to someone else. Not just anyone, either. Easton. My friend. My brother in arms. I should walk away. Should forget about the way she looks at me when no one's watching. Should ignore the way my pulse fucking riots every time she's close. But it's too late for that. Because I might be trying to clean up this empire... But for Kalia? I'd burn it all down.

In The Arms of Ivan Dimitri

57 parts Complete Mature

Crystal Eliza Crest had lived a life of privilege, untouched by the brutality that built her father's empire. She had everything-wealth, loyalty, and power-without ever realizing the blood that kept it intact. But ignorance wasn't immunity, and when the war between mafias took a personal turn, her world shattered. Ivan Sergio Dimitri had been raised in violence, molded into a leader with a single mission-destroy the American Mafia and show no mercy. He knew nothing of softness, only power and control. When Crystal fell into his hands, she was nothing more than leverage, a pawn to be used and discarded. She wasn't strong. She wasn't a fighter. Fear ruled her, yet she clung to the hope that someone would save her. But Ivan had no patience for weakness, and in his world, the only way to survive was to obey. He was the devil-ruthless and unyielding. She was a prisoner-fragile and powerless. Their paths were never meant to cross, yet here they were, bound by fate, trapped in a war that neither of them could escape. Would she learn to endure the darkness, or would Ivan crush her completely? Warning: This is an extremely dark romance. It delves into themes of power, control, and brutality. Not for the faint of heart.
