Married At 19

Isang ordinaryong babae si Trina, anak sa labas ng isang prominenteng pamilya, na hindi kailanman inasahan na magiging sentro ng isang nakakagulat na sitwasyon: nagkaroon siya ng marriage certificate na nagpapakita na kasal na siya… sa isang lalaki na hindi niya kilala — si Luke Montenegro, ang misteryosong heir ng pinakamayamang angkan sa mundo. Habang sinusubukan ni Trina na alamin ang katotohanan, natuklasan niya ang masalimuot na relasyon ng kanyang pamilya sa mga Montenegro, at kung paano siya itinuturing na walang karapatan kumpara sa kanyang kapatid na si Gabriela, na nakatakdang pakasalan si Xander Montenegro, ang panganay ng pamilya. Sa gitna ng mga intriga, bulung-bulungan, at paninibugho ng pamilya, napilitang makipag-ugnayan si Trina kay Luke, na sa unang tingin ay malamig, misteryoso, at makapangyarihan. Ngunit habang nagkakaroon sila ng hindi inaasahang koneksyon, lilitaw ang tanong: maaari bang mabuo ang pag-ibig sa pagitan ng dalawang taong napagbuklod ng tadhana sa pinaka-kakaibang paraan? Punong-puno ng drama, misteryo, at romantikong tensyon, ang kuwento ay sumusubok sa hangganan ng pamilya, kayamanan, at kung paano hinaharap ni Trina ang kanyang kapalaran sa piling ng isang lalaking hindi niya inaasahan.

Sa madilim na sulok ng kanyang silid, isinumpa ng isang lalaki ang kanyang kapalaran. Ipinanganak na may birthmark na halos sakop ang kalahati ng kanyang mukha, lumaki siyang iniiwasan ng mga tao—at sa huli, siya na mismo ang lumayo. Ang tanging nagmahal sa kanya ay ang kanyang mga magulang, ngunit kahit ang sariling kapatid ay hindi pa siya nasisilayan. Dahil sa mga pangungutya at pag-iwas ng iba, isinara na niya ang kanyang puso—lalo na pagdating sa mga babae. Hindi na niya hinangad na mahalin o mahalin pa ng iba. Ngunit nagbago ang lahat nang dumating ang isang babaeng katulong sa kanilang bahay. Sa hindi niya maipaliwanag na dahilan, naagaw nito ang kanyang atensyon. May kakaiba rito, at hindi niya mapigilan ang sariling mahulog. Ngunit isang araw, isang lihim na usapan ng kanyang mga magulang at ng babaeng iyon ang kanyang narinig—isang kasunduang pag-aasawa kapalit ng malaking halaga. Isang pagtataksil. Isang panloloko. Sa galit at pagkasuklam, isinumpa niya ang babae. "Gold digger!" Wala itong pinagkaiba sa lahat ng iba pang tao. Mula noon, nagbago ang kanyang pagtingin dito. Hindi na pagmamahal ang nais niyang ipadama—kundi paghihiganti. Pero hanggang kailan niya maitatanggi ang tunay niyang nararamdaman? At totoo nga bang panloloko lang ang naging dahilan ng babae sa paglapit sa kanya? Abangan ang kanilang kwento—isang kasunduang puno ng sakit, galit, at isang pag-ibig na pilit na itinatanggi.

Matapos malaman ni Collette Addison Serrano na may down syndrome ang kanyang anak ay lalong tumindi ang pagiging taksil ng kanyang asawa sa dating nobya nito. Huminto ito sa pagsustento sa kanya hanggang sa tuluyan siyang pinalayas sa kanilang bahay, dahilan upang mapilitan siyang magtrabaho para buhayin ang kanyang anak. Sa gitna ng kahirapan at kalungkutan ay hindi niya inaasahan na magiging contract wife siya ng kanyang boss. Ano ba talaga ang totoong motibo ni Hezekiah Moreira–ang tanyag at makapangyarihang may-ari ng pinakamalaking nickel mining company–sa pagpili nito sa kanya, isa lamang siyang hamak na single mother na may espesyal na anak para maging asawa nito?

But living under the same roof sparks desire, jealousy, and feelings neither of them expected.

When love is repaid with humiliation, pain turns into strength. Aruna came carrying medicine and a slice of birthday cake for the man she loved—Revan. But when she arrived at his house, what she found was not the warm smile she had longed for, but a sight that shattered her heart: Revan kneeling down, proposing to another woman in front of everyone. The medicine she had bought with her hard-earned money was thrown away. The cake she had made with love was crushed underfoot without mercy. And Aruna… was left behind without an explanation—only pain and a pride torn to pieces. On her way home, an accident took not only her strength but also the life of the unborn child she carried within her.

I was in the middle of believing that romantic relationships are fleeting and unreliable. My family's situation proves it. But. . . “You're gay?” After a long time of process, disguise, and plan, I thought I wouldn't fall. “Hindi ako mahuhulog sa 'yo, baka ikaw pa ang mahulog sa akin.” As time passes, true love can manifest in unexpected forms. “You prove me wrong Kaizen.” And proving that love knows no boundaries. — Vaniah Feumi Dellona Got Married with a Gay Billionaire

"Kapag lumalapit ang isang tao sa'yo tapos..tapos..biglang bumibilis ang tibok ng puso mo---" hindi ko na naituloy ang sunod ko pang sasabihin dahil pinutol na niya at diretso siyang sumagot. "Inlove! You're inlove with him!!" "Inlove? S-sure ka?W-walang halong biro?" nakakunot na noo na tanong ko. "Oo. Inlove ka. Bakit? Kanino mo nararamdaman 'yan?" "Ah. Eh. Nevermind." sagot ko na parang walang pakialam sa sinabi niya. Inlove. It can't be. "Kay stranger ka inlove?" "Hindi! Hindi!" agad kong sagot. Sa dinami-dami ba naman ng pangalan na sabihin niya kay stranger pa talaga. ----------------------------------- Basahin ang storya ni Mesaiyah na ikinasal sa estrangherong tagapagmana ng Yakuza.

“You were born to be mine… so why make me beg for what’s already mine?” Luca growled, confusion flashing in his eyes. Kiki laughed bitterly. “See? Just look at you. The entitlement. You’re behaving exactly like the Moon Goddess’s puppet… dancing to her sick little tune.” —— Kiki never believed in the mate bond. She’d watched it destroy her mother watched love turn into death the moment her father’s heart stopped beating. That was the day she swore she’d never let the bond control her. So she made a choice. To love on her own terms. To choose her own mate. And for a while, it worked. Dan was everything she wanted loving, loyal, and just as skeptical of fate as she was. But the Moon Goddess doesn’t like rebellion. Because the same night Kiki discovered she was pregnant, Dan’s fated mate walked into his life. And he didn’t think twice before choosing her. Now, broken and betrayed, Kiki’s life collides with Luca’s the ruthless Alpha King who’s waited his whole life for a mate who doesn’t want him. But Luca isn’t the kind of man to take no for an answer. And the Moon Goddess never plays fair.
