Her father is gone, that's what their mother told them that it's been a long time that they are deadfather, the young woman asked several times why her father died but her mother always said "It's a long story..." so she didn't ask again because she knew that and that's all her mother would say.

CHAPTER 1

(Kia's point of view)

I woke up because it felt like someone was patting my cheek so I opened my eyes and I was not mistaken because the face of the conductor appeared to me.

"Lady! we are here in Manila, wake up and come down." Said the conductor, so I looked out the window to see if I was actually in Manila.

When I looked out the window, I was already in Manila because of the tall buildings and the many people walking and the many cars on the road.

so I quickly got off the bus, of course I thanked the conductor for waking me up, if you're wondering if I paid, of course, before I fell asleep on the bus, I gave the money.

"Wow, it's beautiful here in Manila." That's all that came out of my mouth because I'm actually in Manila, I can't believe I've set foot here.

I hope I can find a good job here right away, Manila is so big where I can rent, I said in my mind and sighed.

I started walking so that I could find something to eat. While I was walking, I saw old lady picking up her purchases. I said in my mind that there was a hole in her container so I quickly ran to her place.

"Manang let me help you." I offer to manang so she looked at me and smiled so I smiled back and helped her pick up her shopping.

"Thank you for helping, because this plastic has a hole." She said while pointing to the torn plastic so I smiled at her.

"That's not there, I have a basket here made of straw." I said to her, holding out the straw basket, "My mother made that." I smiled back to Manang.

"You're a very kind young lady, thank you for your straw basket." Manang said to me so I asked her. "It looks like you're new here in Manila ah" Manang said to me again.

"Ah yes, I'm new here, I'm looking for a place to rent, so tomorrow I'll start looking for a job because I really need a job....hmm, do you know of anyone I can rent to?"I made a long conversation to Manang, and Manang looked at me with a smile.

"Do you want to work together and live somewhere?" Manang asked me.

"Yes manang, do you know anything?" This is my answer.

"My boss is looking for a new secretary, I can offer you there."Manang said to me with a big smile, so I couldn't help but smile because I was going to work.

"Really manang, can you take me there to your boss so he can interview me?" I asked with a smile to manang, she nodded in response.

"I'll just call my husband to pick us up and introduce you to Señorito." Manang told me so I just nodded in response.

"I'll just call you for a moment." So I nodded to her again.

I hope I can get a job as a secretary so I can immediately send money to mother and to my youngest brother so that mother can be treated and her illness will not get worse. I don't want to lose her from us. I'm not ready yet, but I know that my mother is strong, I know that she can fight, mother. just be patient and I can treat you too, maybe I'll call them later when I'm accepted.I couldn't continue my thoughts when a fancy car stopped in front of me.

"Wow, it's so clean and shiny." That's the only thing I blown out, it's so beautiful, the color is black, the shine is even more shiny than super shiny, you can enjoy it.

suddenly a tall man came out, his body was strong enough to be a model if he walked and he was also handsome-. I couldn't continue my thoughts when manang spoke.

"No señorito, why did you pick us up? Josep can't-" Manang couldn't finish what she was going to say when the rich man suddenly took what manang bought, "Let's go." He said to manang without any emotion.

"Ahh......señorito, I have with me, she's going to work for your company." Manang said nervously so I looked at manang in wonder. Why is she nervous and also she called this señorito does it mean she is the one who needs the secretary of their company?

so I turned to Señorito who was supposed to be looking at me so our eyes met for a few seconds and I also averted my eyes and focused on others, I couldn't make eye contact with him as if I was hypnotized by his gaze.

"Let's talk about that later." Señorito said he was cold so I looked at him again but he was already there and was about to open the door. He walked so fast I thought he was a splash in my mind.

"Come let's go inside, he doesn't want to wait." Manang promised to get in the front of the car, so I followed and got in the back. It's my first time to get into this car.

I looked ahead, I was just so surprised that he was looking at me, so without hesitation I avoided looking at him, I was very nervous while holding my chest.

He's still looking at me, I took a bite to make him come back to reality, he turned on the engine and started driving.

I was just looking out the window. I still can't believe I'm here in Manila.

so quiet I didn't realize that my eyes were slowly closing until I fell asleep...

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: MARRY TO RIVAL'S SON

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire (so she thought), until he named his bastard son heir instead. Stefan Sterling knows the sting of betrayal too. His father discarded him like trash. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?
