bittersweet morgan elizabeth

Si Ariah "Aya" Gallano ay dalawampu't dalawang taong gulang, iskolar ng kanilang bayan, at tumatayong magulang para sa kaniyang nag-iisang kapatid. Musmos pa lamang ay namulat na siya sa hagupit ng buhay dahil sa mga pagsubok na kaniyang pinagdaanan. Sa kabila nito, nanatili siyang matatag at higit na nahubok ang pagiging madiskarte. Subalit, dahil sa karamdaman ng kaniyang kapatid, kinailangan niyang makahanap ng mabilisang salapi. Siya ay napadpad sa dating application na "We Chat & Date", para humanap ng matandang lalaki na naghahanap ng kasintahan, o sugar daddy kung tawagin. Labag ito sa kaniyang kalooban, subalit kailangan niya ng mabilisang pera para sa pagpapagamot ng kapatid kaya naman isinantabi niya ang sariling prinsipyo para rito. Dito niya nakilala si Theodore Morgan, ang acting CEO ng Morgan Group, dalawampu't pitong taong gulang at ang pinaka batang business tycoon sa Pilipinas. Si Theodore ay napadpad sa dating application sa pag-asang makakahanap ng babaeng papakasalanan lamang bilang tugon sa hiling ng kaniyang lola, ang tanging tao na kumalinga sa kaniya noong mamatay ang mga magulang sa aksidente. Parehong may mithiin na nais makamit, parehong nais isakripisyo ang sariling kasiyahan para sa minamahal sa buhay. Ngunit parehong ayaw mahulog kanino man. Naniniwala silang walang puwang ang pag-ibig sa tulad nilang abala sa sarili at pangarap na nais makamit. Ano kaya ang kapalarang naghihintay para sa dalawang taong nais lang pumasok sa kasal para sa sariling motibo? Sa laro ng kasal-kasalanan, sino ang magiging taya? Kapag tadhana na ang nagpasya, mapipigilan mo ba ito?

I was in a temporary shock from an allergic reaction. The two guys I had grown up with didn't even look my way. One of them was busy helping Vivian Byrd carry a pile of gifts, while the other was snapping pictures of her at some popular social media spot. It was a stranger passing by who called an ambulance and got me to the hospital, saving my life. The next day, Vivian called, her tone almost smug. "Trish, Zeke and Hendrick were so exhausted after shopping with me yesterday. I heard you threw a tantrum and ended up in the hospital. Should I come visit you?" I simply replied, "No need." Zeke Benson and Hendrick Peay were my childhood friends. They once treated me like I was everything to them—promising to pluck the moon and stars from the sky and to protect me forever. But ever since Vivian came into the picture, their world no longer revolved around me. I thought for a moment and then dialed my mother's number. "Mom, I'll accept the marriage arrangement."

My fiance called me to post bail after he was arrested. When I arrived, however, I was informed that he was caught in a compromising position. "I came to protect Lily because I was worried for her safety," my fiance retorted, putting an arm around her shoulder. "But her boyfriend didn't believe me. Or is it the same for you too? Go post bail already." Nonetheless, I spied the lacy underwear poking out ever so slightly over his belt. In the past, I would have made a scene as I demanded an explanation. But now, I was as cool as a cucumber. When the cops asked what our relationship was, I paused in thought for a moment, before saying quietly, "His employer." Once I signed the papers, I texted my brother: [I'll go on that blind date. Schedule it for three days later.]

After being reborn, I decide to return my fiancé to his true love. When he holds a singles party for her and doesn't want me to disturb him, I go to Faldora alone. He says I'm an annoyance, so I quit my job without hesitation. He doesn't feel good being in the same country as me, so I immediately migrate abroad. In the end, he tells me he wants to make his true love feel secure. I nod and accept someone else's proposal. Why am I so obedient and compliant? It's because of my past life. In my past life, his true love ended her life after I married him. He blamed me for separating them and subjected me to inhumane torture. This time, I just want to live my life. Later, when I'm taking a stroll with my family, he kneels before me and sobs in earnest. "I promise I'll be with you as long as you leave them, Audrey."

My physics teacher held up my test paper with an 18-point score in front of all the students and parents and said, “Students like this are hopeless. I don’t even know how someone like this passed the high school entrance exam. “I didn’t think there was a way to cheat on the high school entrance exam, but it turns out there is. It gives people like this a chance to cheat.” He did not just insult my intelligence but also questioned my character and family. “Well, it’s not surprising. Only a junk-collecting family could raise a kid like this.” I curled up in my seat, too scared to say anything. But my stepmom could not stand it anymore. She smacked the chalk box off his desk, pointed at him, and yelled, “Who do you think you’re talking about?! “I send my kid to school and pay all the tuition and book fees! How did it turn into us being a junk-collecting family?! “You can’t even teach properly, and I haven’t called you out for it! Have you no shame?! You don’t deserve to be called a teacher! You’re just a piece of trash!” For some reason, she suddenly seemed imposing and heroic to me.

Venessa was always the picture of innocence—a sweet, gentle soul who never knew the dark truth that kept her alive. As a child, she was involved in a tragic accident that left another girl, Sophia, fighting for her life. But a powerful, heartless billionaire had a deal to make, one that would change everything. In exchange for Sophia’s heart, her life would be traded away so that Venessa, dying from a congenital heart defect, could survive.

But when Alex, a charming yet cold billionaire, entered into a contractual marriage with her , things start to unravel. Venessa is swept up in a romance with the man who, unbeknownst to her, is the son of the man responsible for her father’s untimely death. As their love deepens, Venessa uncovers a devastating truth: the heart that keeps her alive is the heart of Alex’s first love—Sophia, the very girl she unknowingly doomed. And Alex? He’s now torn between a love that could heal him and a betrayal that could destroy them both. In a tale of passion, secrets, and vengeance, Venessa and Alex must navigate a twisted fate neither of them ever saw coming. Will love conquer all, or will the truth tear them apart?

Stephen's beloved Phoebe fell into a coma. To everyone, I became the villain—accused of harming her out of unrequited love for Stephen.
