روايات بقلم Astraia Spring

Astrella Honey Salcedo, a writer with a hidden side, unknowingly steps into a deadly trap when she clicks on a mysterious link. Kidnapped and sold at a secret auction, she was taken aback when the highest bidder took her—someone from her past she never expected to see again. Cold and menacing, he’s a figure she once trusted, now twisted by anger and revenge. He holds her family responsible for a betrayal that shattered his life, and he’s not there for forgiveness. As Astrella's pulled deeper into his dangerous world, she begins to wonder: Is he the villain of her story, or something far more complicated?

Sa mundo nina Ingrid Alessia Romano at Leonhardt Dietrich Moretti, betrayal is the currency. Napilitan si Ingrid na pumasok sa isang contract marriage para iligtas ang dangal ng kanyang pamilya, kahit pa ang kapalit nito ay ang pagsasama sa isang lalaking walang puso. Para kay Leonhardt, Ingrid was just a safer option—isang asawang hindi maghahanap ng pagmamahal. What started as a cold business deal soon spiraled into a dangerous game of forbidden chemistry and buried wounds. Sinusubukan rin nilang itago ang kanilang mga sikreto mula sa mapanuring press. What happens when a fake marriage starts to feel a little too real? Kakayanin ba nilang lampasan ang mga kasinungalingan, o sila mismo ang uubos sa isa't isa?

“Be a good girl.” "Then make me, Roigie. Or are you only a commander when I’m already yours?" Roigie is used to being in total control—he’s a Villarreal, it’s in his DNA. When he gives a command like that, he expects absolute submission. He’s using his dominance to mask the fact that he’s actually obsessed with Aria. But Aria? She’s a rebel. She knows that the only thing Rogie wants more than her obedience is her reaction. By challenging him to make her, she’s flipping the script and making him work for the control he craves. Even though they’re at each other's throats, there’s this toxic, possessive energy. Aria is thinking, “If I’m going to be a good girl, it’s only for you”. She hates that she wants him, especially since she’s hiding the pregnancy, but she’d rather be under his command than anywhere near Luigi. While Roigie is busy trying to command her in the bedroom, Luigi is outside waiting to ruin it all. That’s the irony of the love triangle—Roigie is so focused on winning the war inside their marriage that he doesn't see Luigi playing a dirty game with their reputation. Every time Aria submits or fights back, she’s also trying to distract Roigie so he doesn't feel the shapewear or notice her morning sickness. She's playing a lethal game to keep her heart and her secret safe.
