After discovering that a large tumor had invaded her uterus—and that her already slim chance of becoming pregnant had been deliberately destroyed by the cruel conspiracy of her husband and his lover—Maisa was left facing the possibility that she might never be able to have a child. Driven by an overwhelming longing to become a mother, and following a successful surgery, she made the bold decision to undergo artificial insemination on her own in order to conceive. What followed was something she could never have anticipated. She stepped directly into the life of a man she had never imagined crossing paths with—and became pregnant with the child of an Alpha. Her unborn child would inherit Alpha blood. From that moment on, her journey of revenge against her ex-husband and her mission to protect her child truly began. Maisa was determined to repay every ounce of pain she had endured, to return the humiliation and suffering Brian had inflicted upon her to those who had destroyed her life. Along the way stood the father of the child she carried—Airden Kenneth, a powerful and immensely wealthy Alpha. Everything he possessed, every resource at his command, could become a weapon to help Maisa exact her revenge. Thus began a contract marriage between them. Bound together by an unborn child, their connection slowly deepened—but was it only the child that drew them closer, or were there other, unspoken reasons? When the revenge finally comes to an end, will Maisa and Airden be able to remain together, or will fate once again stand in their way?

I was locked in a fridge for 40 days while the uncensored photos of me spread like wildfire across the internet. In the face of the salacious rumors about me, my mother reacted by reposting them. Then, she turned to warn my sister, "Look at how disgusting the entertainment industry is. Don't join it, alright? Stay home and inherit your sister's assets instead. My dearest daughter must be innocent and pure, unlike her." She forgot. She forgot I only joined this 'disgusting' industry to pay for her cancer treatment.

They hated each other's guts ever since their paths crossed. Her as his personal assistant and him as the most successful and arrogant actor in the country. So when her contract with him ended, she promised herself that she would never want to meet him or even have a glance at his face again.  Ngunit sadyang mapaglaro ngang talaga ang tadhana, kung kailan mo ipinagdarasal na hindi mangyari ay siyang mangyayari. Dahil sa dare ng kanyang mga kaibigan ay nagbago ang kanyang buhay. Four years later, she came back to meet him. Not because she wants him for herself but for the fruit of what they did because of that dare years ago. Their daughter.  Maniniwala kaya siyang kanya ito? O ipagtatabuyan niya dahil sa kanilang huling sagutan?

The richest woman in all of Jezelworth, Abby Davidson, was determined to marry my brother, Wallace Bourn. Everyone called Abby the "Black Widow", a cold-hearted woman who would do anything to get what she wanted. Anyone who married her was doomed to meet a tragic end. Wallace turned pale with fear, but I pulled him aside and said quietly, "I'll marry her in your place. But you have to stay in the countryside and guard my father's safe under his grave for three years. You can't open it before then." He thought the safe held a massive fortune. Grinning like a fool, he agreed without hesitation. Watching his greedy face, I couldn't help but laugh coldly inside. He'd better be ready for this. I couldn't wait to see if he could manage the "surprise" he'd find inside!

Dad is famous for being a total simp over Mom in the elite society. Naturally, he views Callie Archer, the stepdaughter whom Mom has brought with her, as his own. But Callie is afflicted with a severe case of walking phobia. Her feet couldn't touch the ground at all. Only when she's stepping on my back can she roam around in the house freely. So, whenever Callie looks in a certain direction, Mom will press my head down and force me to crawl toward Callie to serve as her doormat. The doctor issues a warning to my family that my spine is severely contorted. So when Callie wants to admire the flowers in the yard while wearing a pair of spiked shoes again, I can't endure the pain anymore, so I shiver slightly out of instinct. Callie ends up losing her balance and falling to the ground. She bawls like a baby afterward. Mom rushes over immediately before kicking me in the gut, her high heel lodging into my flesh. "It's extremely rare for Callie to be willing to leave the house! Why must you ruin her mood? Can't you just be more understanding and play your role as a doormat for the sake of your sister's illness?" Meanwhile, Dad scoops Callie into his arms, his heart bleeding for her plight. He coaxes her gently, telling her that he'll buy her new dresses later. I can only curl up on the ground while hacking up blood. But Dad just thinks I'm playing the pity card. He commands his men to throw me into the basement. Apparently, I can only be released once I've learned to stay stationary when I'm supporting Callie. As I clutch my broken ribs, I feel my tears flowing down my face as well as the blood from my injuries. I'm sorry, Dad. Next time, I will definitely not move a muscle, just like a corpse.

His marriage has cracks he doesn't see. And the investors keeping him afloat? They answer to me now. He thinks he's untouchable. That my formula made him invincible.
