Arietta's hatred for Michelle started the very moment Michelle indirectly called her a cheap slut. She got insulted by his comment and gave she gave Michelle the worst tongue lash one could ever think of. This made Michelle so mad and he swore to take revenge whenever they meet again. Arietta on the other hand, swore to avoid every reason to have another encounter with Michelle. Fate brought them back together when Arietta got a job as Michelle's secretary in Michelle's company. Arietta was angry and Michelle found the situation interesting because he could finally make life a living hell for her and so he did. He annoyed and found every possible way to get on her nerves. He was her boss so he had the upper hand. Arietta thought of quiting but brushed off the thought because she didn't want Michelle to feel like the winner. So she kept her job. But she called an end to her job when her patience ran out. She couldn't keep up with his grumpy, annoying and cold attitude so she quit. Three months later she got a job in an even planning company called Besset Events as an event planner. For those three months, she didn't keep in touch with Mitchelle and Michelle didn't bother to reach out. Arietta's new work place got hired by a client to plan a carnival to celebrate the foundation of an island called Islantonio. An anonymous sponsor of the carnival hired Besset Events to plan the whole carnival. Arietta and her team had to go on a vacation to the island so as to meet the sponsor and have a better working environment. The planning was smooth and steady, everything went fine. Arietta and her team didn't get to meet the anonymous sponsor until two days after thier arrival. Arietta was so shocked when the sponsor turned out to be Michelle, her ex-boss. The most heartless man on Earth. Michelle also didn't expect to meet her there. Arietta tried her possible best to avoid him but fate seemed to keep pushing them together. Michelle, after so much thought, finally apologized to Arietta and they became friends. Gradually, they grew to be really close and start to develop feelings for eachother. But little did Arietta know that Michelle Grande is the badass most wanted criminal she has been seeing in the news for a long time. Michelle knew that drawing her into his messed up world would be too dangerous for her to handle. Arietta also doesn't know that that particular island she's in holds so many secrets of her past. There, in Islantonio, she meets Caroline Lantonio. Arietta loved this woman but this particular woman is the worst woman on Earth. Caroline is the owner of Islantonio. Woman of many dark secrets. She killed a lot of people for her selfish needs and gains. And she stole all of Islantonio and it's properties from Arietta. All of Islantonio was willed to Arietta before she was given birth to. Caroline knew back then that she wasn't going to own Islantonio so she abducted Ari's father, killed Ari's mother and killed her own very father. She faked the death of Arietta's mother to seem like an accident. An anonymous person seemed to be giving Michelle hints about Arietta's past but to put together all the pieces was the work. With the help Michelle and his intelligence, Arietta was able to take her place as sole owner of Islantonio and it's properties. And Michelle and Arietta's love ship also sailed in the end. "No matter what you do or who you are, my feelings for you can never change." That reply from Arietta was really unexpected. It was then that Michelle knew that Arietta will always love him despite his dark life.

"And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.

For three years, I documented the slow death of my marriage in a black journal. It was my 100-point divorce plan: for every time my husband, Blake, chose his first love, Ariana, over me, I deducted points. When the score hit zero, I would leave. The final points vanished the night he left me bleeding out from a car crash. I was eight weeks pregnant with the child we had prayed for. In the ER, the nurses frantically called him-the star surgeon of the very hospital I was dying in. "Dr. Santos, we have a Jane Doe, O-negative, bleeding out. She's pregnant, and we're about to lose them both. We need you to authorize an emergency blood transfer." His voice came over the speaker, cold and impatient. "I can't. My priority is Miss Whitfield. Do what you can for the patient, but I can't divert anything right now." He hung up. He condemned his own child to death to ensure his ex-girlfriend had resources on standby after a minor procedure.

At my best friend's birthday party, I drank tainted wine and passed out. When I woke up, I heard the doctor say it could cause severe nerve damage. I teased my fiancé Cayden Hewitt, asking who I was and where I was. He hesitated, staring at me, then called my rival Liam Hewitt. "You're Julia. He's your fiancé. You're getting married soon." I froze, thinking he was joking too. My best friend, Vivian Green, slipped her arm through Cayden's, looking every bit like a couple in love. Eventually, I was about to marry Liam. But Cayden, with eyes red from emotion, stood in front of the car to stop it, pleading, "Julia, don't marry him. I've realized I can't let you go."

For ten years I planned our dream wedding-over and over-while my CEO fiancé Kody Morgan found ways to miss every single one. Ever since Tonya Buckley, his childhood sweetheart, returned to the country, my wedding had become a ticking time bomb. She caused a scene on the eve of my wedding, and Kody always stood me up. This last time, Tonya cut her finger, and a few drops of blood spilled dramatically. Kody anxiously ran red lights, risking everything to rush her to the ER, insisting the doctor check her carefully. Meanwhile, I faced the guests' derisive stares and received only Kody's dismissive excuse. "Does it have to be today? We've canceled the wedding so many times already, let's reschedule for next weekend. Tonya passes out at the sight of blood, so I need to stay with her. I really hope you understand." He reminisces about their childhood bond, granting Tonya every request, while neglecting me. Actually, I didn't have to marry him. When his absence became a pattern, I chose a man who'd actually appear.

On the morning of my wedding, I found a voice memo my fiancé of seven years had saved from his 22-year-old intern. But I still walked down the aisle, secretly pregnant with our child. Then, as we stood at the altar, she faked a faint. Blake dropped my hand and ran to her, leaving me alone. He called my heartbreak a "tantrum" while making his special tea-the one I taught him-for her in our apartment. He was certain our baby was his safety net, a guarantee I' d never leave. "She's not going to do anything," he told his mother on the phone while I was at the clinic. "Just let her blow off some steam." He thought my pain was a game and our baby was a bargaining chip. He was wrong. He found me in the recovery room, striding in with a cocky smile and a bouquet of lilies. The smile died when he saw me, pale in the hospital bed, and the flowers slipped from his grasp as he finally understood what I had done.
