A faithful woman devoted her life to her husband, only to get betrayed by him. Cheated and mocked by the man she sacrificed everything for, she sought vengeance. She allied with a powerful man deserving of her love, dragging down those who wronged her.

But this story was not about that. 

It wasn’t about the pitiful legal wife who would emerge from rock bottom. 

This was about the shameless mistress, the home-wrecker, the vixen Luca who destroyed a marriage.

Beautiful, smart, and ambitious. That was what Luca has known for. When she met the dashing CEO of Z Holdings, Xander, it was love at first sight. She knew it was wrong to fancy a married man, but the more she suppressed her attractions, the more this sinful desire blossomed. 

And before she knew it, she was already dancing with the fire. 

But like all the wrong deeds in the world, karma served her the coldest tea ever. Just when she thought Xander’s wife was out of the picture and they could be together, everything spiraled for the worst. Like how she destroyed a marriage and stole another woman’s husband, the fierce legal wife returned the favor twice harsher than she thought.

Ruined, alone, and left with nothing, Luca realized her mistake too late. The damages had been done, and they were irreparable. Thus, she chose the inevitable end. 

Just when Luca thought it was the end, she woke up three years in the ‘past’ — the day she would meet Xander for the first time! 

But that wasn’t the most surprising of all because… the second she woke up, her cat welcomed her back in the most savage way.

“Welcome back, bitch. Was being a side chick fun?”

Watch as Luca walks the path of redemption… Nah ah. 

Watch as Luca, the former home-wrecker, ruin the man who left her hanging and finds self-love by marrying herself with her crazy, insufferable miss know-it-all cat as her maid of honor, only to meet a dangerous man shrouded with mystery whom she never met in her previous life.

BUT WAIT! Why is this world, although looked the same as modern Earth, wasn’t exactly the same? Not only humans walked the surface of the world but also creatures whose eyes would glow in the dark and howls in the city could be heard at night?

Follow Luca as she gets tangled in a parallel world where modern vampires, werewolves, witches, and ghosts blend with humans.

The Devil Beside Me

Luca kept her smile until her brows rose. The man also raised his brows and cocked his head to the side.

"Won't you let me go?" she asked, peaking down at the closeness of their bodies. His arm was still snaked around her waist, her back against the door, his other hand on her side, and they could literally smell each other's breath.

Having this knowledge, she pursed her lips into a thin line and held her breath. She lowered her head and murmured.

"Why?" the man returned with genuine wonder in his voice.

"Just…" Her face burned with shame.

The man blinked before the corner of his lips curled up. He didn't want to let her go because they were 'married,' and mentally prepared a good argument lest she brings up a ridiculous reason he had to let her go. But alas, he didn't expect her reasoning was that… simple.

Do you remember my name?
