the don's auctioned bride

Sa mundo ng mga mayayaman at makapangyarihan, ang kasal ay hindi palaging tungkol sa pag-ibig. Minsan, isa lang itong kasunduan. Solen Mira Callisto, isang occupational nurse sa Monteverde Lines Inc., ay biglang nabaon sa utang matapos pumanaw ang kanyang ama. Dalawang milyong piso—isang halagang hindi niya kayang bayaran sa loob ng tatlong linggo. Sa gitna ng kanyang desperasyon, dumating ang isang hindi inaasahang alok mula kay Leonidas “Leon” Monteverde, ang matikas pero mailap na COO ng Monteverde Lines. Bilang susunod na tagapagmana ng kanilang shipping empire, may isang kondisyon bago niya makuha ang kumpanyang matagal nang itinakda para sa kanya. Kailangan niyang magpakasal. Isang kasunduan ang nabuo. Isang taon ng pagpapanggap bilang mag-asawa. Walang damdamin, walang komplikasyon. Para kay Leon, ito ay isang kasunduan lang. Para kay Solen, ito ang kanyang tanging paraan para mabawi ang lahat ng nawala sa kanya. Dapat ay simple lang, pero bakit parang hindi lang basta umaarte si Leon? He’s too convincing and too protective. Sa tuwing tatawagin siyang "asawa ko" sa harap ng iba, hindi niya alam kung dapat ba siyang mataranta o kiligin. Unti-unti, nagiging malabo ang linya sa pagitan ng kasunduan at katotohanan. Sa mundo ng kapangyarihan at intriga, paano kung ang isang relasyong nagsimula sa papel… ay mauwi sa isang bagay na totoo?

“Hmm.” Luca lowered himself, his groin making contact with mine. He brought his nose to my hair and sniffed, letting out an appreciative moan. “Roses. I like it.” “Luca…” his name came out as a moan when he nibbled my ear. “Don't hurt Matt, please.” He looked at me with an indescribable look. “And what are you willing to give me in return for sparing your lover's life?” I gaped at him in surprise. He knew? That Matt was my ex boyfriend? “How did you…” He shook his head with a humorless laugh. “You wound me, honey. I know a lot of things. I just choose not to say it.” “I haven't threatened to kill you in your sleep, have I?” I asked, then let out a defeated sigh when he raised a brow in disbelief at me. “Fine. What do you want in return?” He stared down at me for one… two… five seconds and then said, “I'd like to watch you come undone. With my tongue.” ********** Born into a family of generational tradition, Ariadne has a duty to uphold. She has been engaged to part of the society's son Santiago Russo since birth.

On the night my dad kicked me out, I drank too much and slept with my “brother” It was a one night mistake. Yet, he proposed and claimed me as his mate, his luna. When I woke up, my mom's body was cold. The color was drained from her half-opened eyes, and I could see no signs of life. My father told me that she purposely drank poison to kill herself. But that was a lie. My mother would never kill herself; she would never leave me. That night imprisoned me. - “It wasn’t a mistake,” “What are you talking about, Jonathan?” I asked him. “Arina, you are my mate. You were born to be my luna,” he said. His face showed no signs of humor. “I wasn’t born to be anybody’s luna,” I shot back. “Arina, I love you…” he spoke softly, still staring into my eyes. I could feel the wolf in me stirring; something that I had never felt before. She was awakening; the fire that burned so deep inside of me was beginning to flare. “Love?” I heard myself saying. “There’s no such thing as love…” After everything I knew about “love”, what my mother went through when she married my father, love didn’t exist. “Give me a chance to prove you wrong. Marry me.”
