"What do you think you're doing? Taking custody of my child? Come on, this was the reason behind my marriage to you, Sophia!" said Frank Williams in his cold and domineering voice, piercing his deathly eyes on her as she handed the signed divorce papers to him. Sophia Lorenzo thought she was signing a certificate of marriage on that altar, unknown to her that she was also signing up for a surrogacy and divorce on the same paper and altar. "Let me have my son and be with the woman I love," Frank said when their son clocked a month. "Who is this woman?" Sophia asked because she can't remember hearing of any woman in his life before her. What she doesn't know is that her perfect husband had been married to her best friend for three years before their first date. "Claire and I only needed a breeder; if not, you know I can never settle for less like you, Sophia!" Frank added, shattering Sophia's heart at every spoken word from his mouth. With a smashed and broken heart, Sophia had no option but to walk quietly out of a sweet marriage of two years without her son. Enraged and determined to reclaim her son while she gets her revenge, Sophia's last option was to reunite with her powerful father after two decades of being apart; then, she'll have all the power to deal with anyone to her satisfaction. "I'm sorry, Sophia. My life is nothing without you," Frank cried after years of merciless emotional torture from Sophia. With a smug smile at the remorseful man before her, Sophia flung her long, coily hair and asked, "If tables were turned around, tell me with all sincerity, would you have forgiven me as well, or would you do worse than I've done to you?"

Emerald Scott is a woman endowed with beauty and wealth. She lacks nothing except one thing that her money couldn't buy, 'TRUE LOVE.' But everything changed when she met the only man that ever showed her sincerity in love, Dennis Spencer. Even though he was rejected by her family, Emerald didn't hesitate to say 'Yes' to Dennis at the altar and sacrificed everything she had to transform him from a broke ass into a billionaire CEO. Everything was perfect, until their third anniversary, when Dennis returned home with his ex-girlfriend, who was pregnant with his second child, and threw divorce papers at Emerald. "You have two hours to sign this divorce and get the hell out of my life. I'm way out of my league now, Emerald. Besides, Sylvia here is pregnant, and I'm sure you won't advise me to cling to a barren soul like you, right?" he declared coldly without a surge of remorse. She pleaded with tears, but she was still thrown out of the home she built without a pin of belonging. She lost everything!*************"Marry me, Emerald, and I'll give you everything you ever desired," Adrian Taylor requested. He is the youngest business mogul, who turned out to be Dennis's top and most influential client. "Yes, I'll marry you, but under one condition: you'll destroy everything that Dennis has and turn him into a street beggar." Emerald replied with a determined voice. ****************** "Emerald, I can't believe that you chose to be a shameless gold digger instead of getting a cure for yourself!" Her ex-husband said with his reddened and regretful eyes when he lost everything. "Are you starting to regret your actions now, Mr. Dennis?" "Or–do you have more to say? How about you call me a gold maker? Because I'm back to take every good thing I've ever brought to your life," she declared with a smug smile.

"This marriage is null and void! The wedding of Dan Miller and Lucia Ray is null and void."

Dan Miller, the CEO of Miller's Production Enterprise, hurriedly planned a wedding with his fiance, Lucia Ray, whom they've dated for only two months. His plan was to outsmart his father, who had signed a contract with his friend, Dantes. The moment young Miller set an eye on those papers, he had been looking for a way to do a surprise wedding without his father's consent. "Never! Over my dead body would I forcefully marry the daughter of my father's debtor! I can never marry someone who is not my standard." He thought to himself. He was at the altar with his bride, taking their marriage vows, when his father, Mr. Morgan Miller, who was out of the country for a six-month business trip, showed up unexpectedly and put the wedding to a halt. "You either marry Clara Dantes in the next two weeks or you lose your position as the heir of the Miller's family." Mr. Miller declared. Stuck of choice, Dan vows to ill-treat Clara in their marriage till she finally decides to leave by herself.

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league.

Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.

"I want a divorce Noah", I said to him. My heart beating and knees weak. I was scared of how he would react. 'He should be happy right? I mean I am giving him a way out of the bondage of a marriage', I said to myself. Noah expression darkened and I could see his jaw tighten. He stood up and took slow steady steps towards me with both hands in his pocket. I immediately got scared and moved backwards. Noah Wellesley isn't the abusive type but he hates me to the bone, I wasn't sure what he is capable of. "Wh-what are you doing?", I asked, still moving backwards. Before approaching him for the request of divorce, I promised to be strong and not to let him intimidate me but... he is Noah Wellesley, the only man I have loved, and maybe still love.

"And what makes you think I would be happy if we divorce?", He uttered and my brows furrowed. What did he mean by that? I stopped moving and he soon caught up to me, his eyes dancing on my lips and I saw the hidden feelings in his eyes. 'Why is he like this?', I asked myself.
