And your cue is the dimming light, okay?”“Uh-huh,” I hesitantly answer.But she is there to boost and cheer me up, “Take a deep breath, relax, and remember, you are good, and you definitely got this!”The sound from the crowd suddenly dies down and the voice of the host is heard. I look up at their gigantic spotlight and wait for the cue.I take a deep breath and say to myself, “You got this, Avery. You got this!”“Let us all welcome with a ro

Chapter: Life of A Married Couple(Avery’s Thoughts)“Babe, did it come out now?” Jeff yells behind the door. While I am damn nervous to even peek at it. “It is only a minute, it needs another minute, babe. Please, don’t stress me out,” I yell back at him. “I’m sorry. I just feel so excited about the news. I can’t wait to tell mom and dad about our baby!” he says exhilaratingly. “Don’t jinx it!” I scream angrily. “Okay, okay, I’ll wait here patiently,” answers Jeff. I am here sitting on the bathroom floor, waiting for the result to come out from the pregnancy test kit. It has been almost three years since we got married and there was never a time that we didn’t try having a baby. But until now, there’s still nothing. I hug my knees and start crying silently, “What if it fails again? Am I infertile?” I ask myself. The kit finally ticks and now I have to face the truth. God knows we’ve been trying so hard that’s why I even ask Kendra to take full charge of the business for now. I stop all my physical activities

Chapter: Ending The Unfinished Business(Avery’s Thoughts) Our El Nido, Palawan experience was splendid. And of course, I still can’t believe it. I came there single, “And now, I am officially Avery Tales. I am now married,” I murmur as I stare at both my and his wedding ring while he’s holding my hand in his sleep. It’s been a week since we came back here to America. Of course, the honeymoon stage has just begun and Jeff wants to make love to me almost every time. And me, being a good wife, always give him what he wants. Although, right now, I think I am still a little swollen down there. I go to the bathroom to clean myself up and wash my face as I promised Kendra I’ll be meeting her so we can talk about our new business venture. After brushing my teeth, I wake Jeff up, “Hey, babe. Didn’t you say you have an interview at Kirkland’s Best?”He groans and instead of getting up, he pulls me into the bed and showers me with morning kisses. I giggle as his kisses tickle me, “Babe, stop it. We have a lot of things to do tod

Chapter: The Greatest Best Man(Avery's Thoughts)Even though the wedding is sudden, Jeff managed to pull it off, and he has planned it all along. So after the wedding ceremony, we stayed for a little bit, I got to finally meet his parents. And for the longest of times, I once again felt the warm embrace of a parent. It made me cry because I knew that I am no longer alone, and no longer an orphan. Because now that we are married, his parents became my parents, too. And I can’t deny, my heart is full. After that, we stayed to talk to our guests for some time, and then we ate and enjoy the party, too. And now I am here standing on the balcony staring at the moonlight, while Jeff is still cleaning. I don’t know why. It isn’t the first time we are going to have sex, but for some reason, now that we are married, there’s this tension inside me, a feeling of hesitation, a feeling that I am officially owned by him. And unexplainably, I feel afraid. And now, my heart almost stops as I hear the gushing of the water fina

Chapter: Suddenly Married!(Avery’s Thoughts) Later this evening, all four of us will meet Jeff’s parents. And because of it, I am so dead worried and I can’t get this nervousness out of my system. So while Jeff is away meeting his parents ahead of time, I rush downstairs and go to our neighboring villa. I knock ceaselessly, but Kendra and Nik aren’t coming out. I move back to look up, and I see that the light is on, it means they are there, so I continue to rampage on their door. “Kendra, Kendra,” I knock nonstop, “Open up, please!” I scream a little loud. Then after five minutes of almost breaking their door down, someone finally opens the door for me. “Thank God you finally come out, what took you so l–” I am about to complain but when I see her glaring at me with her hair a little bit frizzy and wrap in a blanket, I know that I should be more careful with my next words. Then later on Nik comes down with a little sweat on his forehead. “Uh-oh, definitely bad timing, Avery,” I say to myself. Then Kend

Lilith, New Face of Revenge
“S-save me, I beg of you. I’ll sell my soul to you, just give me another chance to live. I’ll even kiss the devil for you,” I desperately wept in front of this dangerous looking stranger.
“Woman, it’s not only your soul I will covet. It’s your mind, your body and your whole existence. Are you up for that game?” he pronounced his ownership with his domineering might.
___
Framed by her evil twin sister, Selena Morgan was beaten to death on their fifth wedding anniversary by the Morgans–her husband’s family.
Convinced she was dead, her bloodied body was thrown away at a landfill.
With zero chance of survival, she waited for her very last breath until a mysterious and dangerous figure appeared before her. He became her last ray of hope and offered her retribution in exchange for a dreadful price–her face, identity, and old life.
Desperate and consumed by her inextinguishable wrath, she willingly closed the deal with him on one condition, the fall of the Morgans’ regime.
Bearing her new identity as the wife of a very influential billionaire, Alexander Forger, she showed up at a charity event orchestrated by the Morgans where she witnessed her ex-husband and twin sister’s betrayal.
With fuming anger scorching inside her, Lilith--the new face of revenge, has officially been reborn.

Chapter: 6 - On the Brink of Death“Individuals driven by greed may go to extreme lengths, even making deals with malevolent forces, to attain their peak desires in life. This can be seen as a dangerous alliance with the devil himself.” ___XANDER.As soon as I heard John’s car engine, I hurried down and equipped myself with a gun and ammo in case there would be a confrontation.I couldn’t explain why but my heart was crazily beating as if it was about to burst thinking about what may happen to Selene. Because of her picture, and the information I gathered from Chief Vaughn a while ago, my heart went to her. Something urged me to get to know her, and most of all, to save her from the hands of the Morgans.“Selene Burton, why weren’t you satisfied with a normal life? Why did you…involve yourselves with those animals?” I asked myself as I sat on the passenger seat.Without any delay, I pestered John to quickly drive, “Go! Hit the road, now! ” tension was heard from my voice. I was still panting from running, “So, what’s

Chapter: 5 - Meet Xander Forger“Who would have thought that a single woman would determine the downfall of two show-off giants.” ___XANDER. “Mr. Forger,” my silence was disturbed by this armed man who walked in with his protruding belly. My face turned sour and I nodded at him as he continued reporting.“I guess you haven’t heard? The Morgans will gather their people tonight.”His sentence caught my attention so I momentarily stopped reading the news article online and indulged myself with tobacco with furrowed brows, “So, what does it have to do with me? What benefit will it bring?” “Wedding anniversary, sir. Bart’s successor and his hot wife will be officially introduced,” he excitedly answered. “We have our chance, the least they expect, we can sabotage the party?” Mikael suggested ludicrously.Not even a second when my secretary came and mocked Mikael’s idea, “Your ideas are as brainless as you are. You’re not even thinking straight. You want Mr. Forger to go to their lair with the most influential people g

Chapter: 4 - Worse Than Death“The devil inside a human’s heart harbors ill-gotten feelings and deceives a human’s mind to do something sinister.” ___SELENA.“What’s happening?” My heart skipped a beat as I listened to the sound of the video. The only thing I had in mind was the Morgans’ devastated faces. They worked hard to make sure this party was a success, but now someone made a mistake.If only I was a little bit keener, I would have deduced that there was more to this.The video continued to roll, followed by the slideshow containing pictures of me having drinks at some bars with several men, and entering different hotels with them. This was preposterous! What’s my face doing there when I didn’t commit such crimes? My neck turned in my husband’s direction as stiff as it could.I saw him weeping but the expression on his face smelled trouble. This was a nightmare, a misunderstanding, a deception! My husband definitely wouldn’t fall for this cheap trick, right?Confident as I was, I found the courage to o

Chapter: 3 - Poisoned Mind“When the mind is poisoned with doubts and lies, even with the deepest form of love, trust can’t cope up and will no longer prevail.” ___ SELENA. I looked at the bright lights set in the garden of the Morgans’ mansion. Surely I looked great in this evening dress but my heart was filled with distress and sadness. This is supposed to be a special event for me and my husband, but I couldn’t even invite my own parents and relatives who are dearest to my heart. Cecile and Bart didn’t want my parents who are mere farmers to be seen at such an elegant party with their important guests. My heart’s wound manifested through my long and deep sighs as I watched the arrival of the luxurious cars from the window on the second floor of the villas. Adding to my stress is the fact that I am not used to this kind of event. I am so afraid that I’ll make a mistake. The Morgans believed that this party would be a great opportunity to splurge their ill-gotten wealth, show off, and most of all, b

Chapter: 2 - Price of Being A Morgan“If you succumb to greed over power and worship money, betrayal is nothing even to your own flesh and blood.” ___ SELENA. Everyone in their mansion is busy preparing for the big event party organized by the Morgans. To them, it was the time to announce the Mayoral candidacy of my father-in-law, Bart Morgan. Morgan Enterprise will also announce my husband, Drake Morgan, as their newly appointed CEO. But to me and my husband, today is our fifth wedding anniversary and we could have flown to another country if not for the family’s event. I suddenly woke up from all the noise downstairs. The thick walls were no match compared to the buzzing voices of their people as if they were in the market. I stretched my arms and legs but found it hard because of the obstruction. Beside me, was Gunther whose left hand and leg were atop her. I found my momentum to get up, but he immobilized me by hugging me, “It is still early, just stay here with me.” Half-awake, I turned to him and greeted

"Cut the bullshit and answer the question, Xander,” I could hear my own heartbeat thumping. “For fuck's sake, tell me the truth! Did you really g-get rid of them?" I cried melancholically while grabbing the collar of the man standing tall in front of me. My eyes slowly filled with tears as my body shivered with anger inside me. Why wouldn’t I be when I accidentally discovered something horrendous about this man I called my savior. I couldn't fathom how this very man who rescued me from the valley of death was capable of killing someone. Is he the same as my ex-husband? Do all wealthy men view life as something they could easily dispose of? "Need I remind you of who you are, Lilith? Raise your voice again and you can ask them yourself," his voice was frightening and col

His Unwanted Bride
Today was supposed to be my wedding day.
The D-day, the big day—whatever people liked to call it.
For me, it was meant to be the happiest day of my life.
Our life.
But to the likes of me, happiness was nothing but a cruel illusion.
The groom, Clyde Monroe, wasn’t waiting for me at the altar. Instead, the ruthless, calculating billionaire—known for his icy demeanor and unmatched power—was on one knee before someone else. Someone who was supposed to be dead.
His ex-girlfriend.
As the truth unraveled, so did the fragile threads of the life we were building.
Betrayal, grief, humiliation—I felt it all.
Clyde’s haunted past, one I had only glimpsed, was now ripping apart the fragile illusion of the bond I thought we shared.
The truth? I was nothing more than a pawn, a random babymaker caught in a game I never signed up to play.
My name is Margaux Olsen, and I am his unwanted bride.

Chapter: How I Met HimMargaux’s POV.What Victoria revealed kept circling in my mind. It was a heavy feeling I felt on the way back home.The moment I stepped into the penthouse, the memories came rushing back—uninvited, like an old wound that hadn’t quite healed.

Chapter: She's BackMargaux’s POV.Clyde’s demand for an abortion kept me awake at night, gnawing at me like an incessant whisper. The coldness in his eyes, the calm way he insisted on it, made me feel like I was standing on the edge of a cliff, with no one to catch me if I fell. He didn’t want this baby. He didn’t want anything to do with me or my future. And that realization hurt more than I cared to admit.But no matter how much Clyde pushed, I couldn’t bring myself to end the pregnancy. I wasn’t ready to give up on my child. I couldn’t let him make that decision for me. Not this time.It was during one of my sleepless nights that I found myself reaching out to Dr. Stone. Our conversations had started as awkward exchanges at the hospital, but over time, they turned into something more. Something genuine.

Soon, I realized my tears were flowing endlessly.I was having my moment when I unexpectedly received two notifications. My eyes widened when I opened the message saying, “I will send you $10 million dollars, get rid of that thing and start anew.”His message made me gnash my teeth. “How cruel…The audacity of this man!” I screamed deep inside.
