“I don't know anything. P-please...let me go.” She pleaded with her eyes half closed as her lips trembled due to his close proximity. She could feel his warm breaths on her face. She whimpered feeling a hand grip on her hair yanking her face up. Her entire body was sore and shaking from all the torture she had endured from this man. “Angel,...” Sylvester whispered in her ear. “Are you telling me the truth?” Lucia could feel the coldness of the mouth of the gun plastered to her temple and she broke into more sobs looking up to meet his dark eyes. “I swear...I-I don't know anything a-about Lily...she...” Her voice ceased when she felt his hand at her chin. “I believe you angel. But it seems that bitch has left us something behind to take with us as compensation.”

Mr. Sebastian PANALO sa PuSo ng Kanyang Ex-wife ❤️Sa kanilang tatlong taong pagsasama, si Hailee ay naging masunuring asawa ni Zack. Akala niya noon, ang pagmamahal at pag-aalaga niya ay matunaw ang malamig na puso ni Zack, ngunit nagkamali siya. Sa wakas, hindi na niya napigilan ang pagkabigo at piniling wakasan ang kasal. Noon pa man ay iniisip ni Edmund na boring at matamlay lang ang kanyang asawa. Kaya laking gulat ko nang biglang binato ni Hailee ang mga papeles ng diborsyo sa kanyang mukha sa harap ng lahat sa anniversary party ng Sebastian Group. Nakakahiya! Pagkatapos noon, inakala ng lahat na hindi na magkikita ang dating mag-asawa, maging si Hailee. Muli, mali ang iniisip niya. Makalipas ang ilang sandali, sa isang seremonya ng parangal, umakyat si Hailee sa entablado upang tanggapin ang parangal para sa pinakamahusay na senaryo. Ang kanyang dating asawang si Zack ang siyang nagbigay ng parangal sa kanya. Habang inaabot nito ang trophy ay bigla nitong inabot ang kamay nito at buong kababaang-loob na nakiusap sa harap ng audience, "Hailee, I'm sorry kung hindi kita pinahalagahan noon. Can you please give me another chance?" Walang pakialam na tumingin sa kanya si Hailee. "I'm sorry, Mr. Sebastian. Ang inaalala ko lang ngayon ay ang negosyo ko." Nadurog ang puso ni Zack sa isang milyong piraso. "Hailee, hindi ko talaga kayang mabuhay ng wala ka." Pero lumayo lang ang dating asawa. Hindi ba mas mabuting mag-concentrate na lang siya sa kanyang career? Maaabala lang siya ng mga lalaki—lalo na ang dati niyang asawa.

Ava Fairchild was sure that she’d never find love. Seemingly lost in a sea of self-pity, she was delighted when her appraisal company was given a job in the Caribbean. A once-in-a-lifetime trip to appraise Sebastian Belrose’s billion-dollar estate seemed to be exactly what she needed to relax and enjoy herself. A walk to the beach at dawn gave her a first impression of the billionaire himself, paddle boarding on the gentle waves. He was reserved and mysterious, and Ava wanted to know all of his secrets. His evasiveness and the fact that he forbade her from traveling to his Study just added to his allure, while simultaneously reminding her about the secrets that destroyed her last relationship. Still, every sunrise that they shared together made her fall more desperately in love with him. But Bastian had a reason for keeping to himself. And as Ava saw the scars that criss-crossed his body, she knew that what she had found was a soul not unlike herself. A man who had been damaged. A man who deserved to trust. A man that deserved to love, and to be loved. Would this beauty be able to tame the beast, or would they be left with just memories of sunrise kisses?
