Outside World
Calista Harmony had it all—beauty, magic, authority, and wealth. Yet with just a single wish, her crown fell, together with everything that she possessed for being the successor of the throne.
No more jail dressed like castle. She's no longer married to a jerk dressed as prince. No more formidable control, and pretension, and life that is not for her to decide.
Waking up in a completely different world, it seems like her prayers were answered by the heavens, bestowed on her the life she never had. She's free!
But . . . what is this parching breeze enveloping her body as her gaze scans this foul-smelling, stingy place?
She took her time to absorb what's happening, and it didn't last long.
"I'm in a stable . . . " she murmured, looking at the horses lined in rows, left and right. "No way!" Her voice sounded like a loud thunder after minutes of blinking and convincing herself that these are nothing but a joke.
The feet. The fur. The tail.
"I ran away from being a princess just to be a . . . horse?"

Chapter: Chapter 3I don’t know if it’s because of the pleasure of catching a white, shiny horse in the deepest of the woods, or the excitement to give a seemingly valuable present to her ‘lifetime crush’ without actually spending a penny, but the smug grin she has on her face really irks me.She thinks this is funny?I used to have a figurative rope tied around my neck as I am being pulled by the king’s orders, but now’s a different story. For the first time in forever, someone is literally pulling me by the rope tied on my neck as if I am a kind of animal.Right, I almost forgot I’m a horse.If I think about it, I can easily let go from this lady’s grasp if I choose to do so. I can take advantage of these feet and kick her to death. Unfortunately, while I am busy assaulting her, the guy might shoot me with his gun.It’s in my prayer to die a while ago. But then I realized that if I am to get killed, it shouldn’t be done by the hands of these greedy lower beings. I might as well escape upon arriving on

Chapter: Chapter 2Audravarians can live for a maximum of five thousand years, so dying at the age of nineteen is a hilarious joke even the ants would laugh at.But here I am, feeling so proud that at this age, I ended my life and was able to escape the suicide-inducing kind of situation I was in.Anyway, I never imagined what the place would look like after death. Even if I had a hard time keeping myself alive, I never thought of it until I finally experienced the sensation of likely bidding my goodbye to all the problems I long carried on my shoulders. I never got to thank the dagger that helped me escape my reality back there, for it truly helped me dodge a bullet.I had always have my crown with me, but the only moment when I feel at peace is when I remove it from my head—on my sleep. Finally, I have the chance to realize how I used my nineteen years for worthlessly playing my role. I was really in dire straits.Yes, I did not live to create who I am. Who I am was the one who controlled how I live.

Chapter: Chapter 1"And now, the next person to challenge the three-year straight champion of Gagner le Trône competition, Princess Calista Harmony of Oqazia Kingdom, is no other than the youngest magic swordman in the lineage of warlords and the current leader of the Royal Defense, Wyatt Benjamin,” the headmaster of the Tower of Magic announced in a subdued voice, raising the flag that represents the Wyatts.Despite the lethargy, the cheering from the audience creates a blaring sound that overpowered the entire arena, louder than it could ever be.Of course, it’s Wyatt Benjamin, the one who singlehandedly perished the hundreds of disguised members of Royal Defense sent by the kingdom of dark magicians months ago. Or at least, that's what they thought it is.Crarene, the kingdom of the above-mentioned creatures, is the first and worst enemy of Oqazia. That is why anyone who contributes a lot in solving or stopping the chaos they are constantly causing earns glory from the people. Wyatt Benjamin became

Submissively Innocent
"Too bad, you need to learn how to write erotic stories in order to be a part of their collaboration." Pigil ang hininga niya habang unti-unting humahaplos ang kamay ng kanyang boss paakyat sa kanyang balikat. "You want me to help you?"
Ash Santillan, a CEO of a publishing company in the country, offered himself to help Yamirah in learning how to write erotic stories. At this juncture of a moment, it is indeed the greatest help and best idea she would accept. Kailanga'ng-kailangan niya ito sa kagustuhan niyang makita ang iniidolong manunulat na siyang kasali sa collaboration series na gagawin nila. Sukdulang naisipan niyang magpaubaya sa gustong gawin ng binatang boss sa kanya. Gusto niyang um-oo, ngunit ni simpleng tango ay hindi niya maibigay sa oras na iyon. Nanatili siya sa posisyon hanggang sa tuluyan nang dumampi ang mainit na hininga ng binata sa sensitibong parte ng kanyang leeg.
"Remember all the details that might happen at this very moment, young lady. Be submissive and you will be able to see him. Do you want that?" her 'beyond compare' and god-like employer---that's how she sees him---whispered in a manner that made her thank the world for letting her exist.
Isang nag-aalinlanga'ng tango ang pinakawalan niya.
"Good." Ngumisi ang binata. "Now, Yamirah, strip."

Kahit limampung katulong pa ang dalhin ko rito sa bahay huwag ka lang magtrabaho, gagawin ko."The slight crease of his forehead and his almost-kissing eyebrows made him look cute and hot at the same time. Idagdag pang nakatapis lang siya ng tuwalya ngayon sa bandang baywang pababa at may mangilan-ilang butil ng tubig ang dumadausdos mula sa kanyang buhok pababa sa matitipuno niyang dibdib.We've been arguing about this for a couple of minutes now. I mentioned him about washing my wedding gown, and this is where it took us."Walang maglalaba. That's final.""But—""Let's settle this later, then. I have an early appointment with Mr. Yu. O baka gusto mong sumama?"Umiling ako. Kung aalis na siya, ibig sabihin ay malalabhan ko na ang wedding gown na ito saka ko itatago.Ash and I were married a week ago. It was a grand party.

Chapter: Epilogo"I still have your resignation letter. I kept it for two years so I could return it one day. Hindi ko 'yon tatanggapin because I am confident that you will return. However, I still want to beg."Kahit nanginginig ay pinilit niyang tumayo at dahan-dahang humarap sa binata. Nag-init ang magkabilang gilid ng kanyang mga mata pero alam niya na hindi na lungkot ang dahilan ng mga ito.Two years didn't seem to change him. Ash Santillan in his muscled body and handsome face is in front of her. Kung may nagbago man sa loob ng dalawang taon ay ang nararamdaman niya. Her love deepened, strongly rooted. Mas lalong sumidhi, mas lalong nahulog."Yamirah Francisco, I beg you. Please come back to your passion. Come back to my company. Come back to my life. Come back to me."Happiness ruled her little universe. Tumakbo siya palapit dito at niyakap ito nang mahigpit na mahigpit na mahigpit, at kahit kailan ay hindi na niya ito papakawalan pa. Hinding-hindi na."Ash, you never lose me. Wherever I am, I

Chapter: Kabanata 35After looking at the wall clock, she adjusted the hands of her wristwatch until it functions correctly. She checked herself from the mirror few feet away from the counter, and saw a perfect pair of a red sleeveless top that only covers the half of her torso—crop top it is, and a slightly tattered trouser she got from a well-known couture months ago.In her left arm she folded an AFRM Tae Cardigan with a Leopard print like her bottoms. Inayos niya ang tindig. Bahagyang iginalaw niya ang kanyang mga paa na nakasuot ng GUCCI'S HORSEBIT CHAIN BOOTS.She smiled as she felt satisfied with her look. 'Di rin naman nagtagal ay may kumuha na ng atensiyon niya."Miss, ito na po ang order ninyo." A lady florist handed her different bouquet of flowers."So idyllic," she commented, slightly sniffing the flowers' corollas.Nang mabayaran niya ito ay nagmartsa na siya palabas ng flower shop. Sa kabilang dako ng kalsada ay nakaparada roon ang sasakyan ni Drica."Bakit pinakamarami 'yang pink? Puntod n

Chapter: Kabanata 34"Yamirah, gabi na. Ihahatid na kita."Narinig niya mula sa likuran ang boses ng pinsan niyang si Sunshine. Sumunod ito sa kanya hanggang sa gate ng ancestral house."Not a chance," she answered determinedly. "Nakaya kong nabuhay mag-isa... at kakayanin ko pa." Walang masasabi ang dilim ng gabing ito sa dilim na hinatid ng mundo sa kanya.Tuluyan na nga niyang tinahak ang daan palabas ng subdivision. Sa huling pagkakataon ay tumulo ang luha niya. Sinisiguro niya na ito na ang huling pagkakataon na iiyak siya dahil sa sakit, lungkot, at galit. Hindi na siya iiyak pa sa mga taong hindi siya nanaising iyakan din. Not anymore."Baby..." Her weary heart stopped when she heard the voice of the person who can break her heart into pieces, and the same person who can also give a remedy to it.Naka-park ang kotse nito sa labas ng subdivision, at mukhang nanggaling din ito sa kaparehong direksiyon.Hindi niya pa ito tuluyang naharap ay bigla na itong yumakap sa kanya nang mahigpit nang mahigpit.

Chapter: Kabanata 33"Ipinanganak ako sa bahay ng lola't lolo ko sa father side. Ni hindi nila na-afford na ilagay si mama sa hospital noon kahit maselan ang kanyang pagbubuntis. Fortunately, this Yamirah in front of you survived."Naglakad siya pababa ng munting entablado. "But my life didn't end there. Napasukan na ni papa lahat ng p'wedeng pasukang trabaho para lang kumita ng pera. A lot offered him illegal jobs but none of these were entertained because he was a good man. Yet his kindness was taken for granted. Maraming nanloko sa kanya, maraming nagnakaw hanggang sa lumubog kami sa utang. Masyado siyang naging mabait na ultimo si mama ay nagkaroon ng ibang kinakasama habang sila pa."Pumiyok ang boses niya nang maalala ang panahong iyon. "Yes, my mom left and went to Bermuda with her new man. Sa edad na walo ay iniwan niya ako, kami ni papa. All I had is my grandparents and my father. Ngayon niyo sabihin na may nanay ako. Go!

Heather Cassia Del Puerto has every reason to be loved. Citing from people's definitions, she's the epitome of beauty and intelligence. In addition, she has enough wealth and power being the La Villamorés' second owner.
However, everyone was suffocated by her so-called perfect insight, and the audacity to think she is always right. Her holier-than-thou attitude annoyed everybody, but a particular tycoon is an exception—Lord Lavigne. Consequently, she didn't bother to change a bit after countless troubles, confident enough that the man everybody has been dreaming of is not going to leave her . . .
Or so she thought.

Chapter: Chapter 1God knows I already did my best to stop myself. This tiny control in my head has already reached its limit. My lips twitched and the veins of my neck turned evident.I wasn't able to stop myself anymore. In front of her naturally friendly face, I raised my middle finger and clearly mouthed, "Pathetic son of a dog."She did not look shocked. Instead, she took a deep breath with a smile drawn on her face. It is in her where I can only see that kind of reaction. Even after being cussed at, she still manages to look calm and collected."My dear sister, does that mean we both came from a dog's semen?"My forehead creased. The level of my annoyance risen upon hearing her stupid response. "You're sick.""Severely," Hyacinth replied. "But my condition may turn critical, I know what I'm saying.

Chapter: Chapter 20It's been an hour since I have finished my dinner. Manang Ymir only prepared a single dish-sweet meat it is.Recently, I came to know that Lord loves sweet meat Iike my father. Sa sobrang yaman niya, misteryo pa rin para sa akin kung bakit napaka-simple ng mga ganap sa buhay niya. He's not a luxurious man, unlike me who doesn't even want to wear a dress that has been worn, or to use an object that already fell on the ground.One time, when Manang is about to cook something, she asked me what particular recipe I'd love to eat, so perhaps she can prepare one. For the very first time, someone asked me what I like. It feels so strange so I had no idea what to say.What do I like, really? What do I want?I did live in a wealthy family, but now that I come to think of it, I never really recognized what I really like. It seemed like I want everything I can touch, and I'm going to have them because I have the money to do so.When it comes to my fashion stuff, I get everything I see beautiful.

Chapter: Chapter 19Hindi naman nagtagal ay nadako sa aming direksiyon ang tingin ng dalawa. Mukhang hindi pa nila ako namukhaan agad, pero halatang nagulat sila nang marahil rumehistro na sa kanilang isipan kung sino ngayon ang babaeng nakatingin sa kanila.I can say that it's hard to secrete whatever chaos I have inside, but all my life I trained myself to conceal my emotions, and so I managed not to react a bit.Napansin ko ang pasimpleng pagtanggal ni Lord sa kamay ni Bridgette na nakasalikop sa kamay niya at lumapit sa amin. Sumunod naman ang malandi niyang arkitekto at pasimpleng ngumisi sa akin.Again, I didn't react. Tinanggal ko ang tingin sa kanila at muling sinipat ang aking pambisig na relo. Pero halos mapamura ako sa pagkadismaya nang makitang wala nga pala akong relo. Nawala.Sanay na kasi tayo.

I am the first choice, the supposed-to-be Lord Lavigne's date in this party.With my royal blue dress shining like the seawater as it reflects the starry night sky, I headed to the wide and tall double-door of the venue.The two men at the entrance looked at me in awe, amazed by my refulgent face. Oh, am I just praising my self? No, of course not."Good afternoon, Miss." The one in a cyan tuxedo smilingly approached.

I wasn't in a hurry because I am confident of what I will see, plus, I am strangely not in the mood. It's just that I already want to take a screenshot of my straight-1.0 grades—which indeed was the results—and brag it to my cousins. Surely, they don't have the same perfect grades as I have.Yet as soon as I confirmed that my assumption is correct, my vision turned blurry and my head started to turn. I fainted. I was sent to the hospital by the maids. When I woke up, mom is beside me, her face reflected a tender worry.
