SOUL TANGLE STUBBORN MEN
The following day, Ayana woke to the warmth of a blanket covering herself as her head rested on the bed beside her daughter. She looked around the room, but there was no one. To the angel that brought the blanket, she was grateful.As Ayana gazed at her daughter's peaceful face, a wave of self-blame crashed over her like a relentless tide. In the stillness of the room, the weight of her emotions threatened to engulf her. She felt a heavy ache in her chest, a painful reminder of her perceived shortcomings as a mother. The sight of her daughter, so innocent and vulnerable, stirred a deep sense of responsibility within her.Reaching out, Ayana gently clasped her daughter's tiny hand in her own, the contrast between their sizes serving as a stark reminder of her role as a protector and nurturer. As she pressed her lips to the small hand, tears welled up in her eyes, each drop a testament to the overwhelming flood of emotions coursing through her. She felt the weight of her mistakes bearin
SOUL TANGLE THE BATTLE OVER THE BETTER MAN
Ayana stood frozen in the doorway, her heart pounding with confusion and uncertainty. On one side stood Robby, the man she had pushed away but still remained so adamant, and on the other side stood Adam, the ighmare that had stormed into her life and scattered everything.Her mind raced as she tried to make sense of the situation. Both men were offering her refuge, which she badly needed, but she couldn't shake the feeling of distrust that lingered in her heart. She had doubts about both of them. Their actions seemed questionable to her.“Don’t tell me you want her to come with you,” Robby scoffed at Adam.“And why not? That is her rightful place because I am supposed to be her husband by now. And you? On what grounds are you taking her? To try and win her over.” Adam fired back.“On the grounds that she does not loathe me the way she loathes you, man. And that gives me hope. I still don’t know why you are still standing here. You should be gone to your other women.” Robby said."Stop
SOUL TANGLE TANGLED ARRIVAL
Ayana's heart raced as she tried to shake off the lingering feeling of dread that Adam's words had stirred within her. She couldn't let his threats intimidate her, not when she had made a decision to stand up for herself and her daughter.As they walked down the street, Robby kept casting concerned glances in Ayana's direction, sensing the turmoil brewing within her. "Are you okay, Ayana?" he asked softly, his voice filled with genuine concern.Ayana forced a smile, trying to push aside her inner turmoil. "I'm fine, Robby," she replied, her voice betraying a hint of uncertainty. "I'm just trying to process everything that's happened."Robby reached out and gently squeezed her hand, offering her a reassuring smile. "I know it's been a lot to take in, but I'm here for you, Ayana. Whatever you need, I will do my best to provide for you and Lyana."Ayana felt a surge of gratitude wash over her, grateful for Robby's unwavering support. Despite their complicated history, he had always been
SOUL TANGLE ADJUSTING
As Ayana stepped through the grand entrance of Robby's house, she was immediately struck by the sheer opulence that surrounded her. The spacious foyer was adorned with intricate marble flooring and elegant chandeliers that cast a soft, warm glow over the room. Expansive windows stretched from floor to ceiling, offering breathtaking views of the sprawling gardens beyond.Lyana reclined on the seat the moment they walked in, enjoying the comfort of the seat. It was a feeling she had never known.Ayana’s eyes widened in astonishment as she took in her surroundings, her mind struggling to comprehend the sheer magnitude of Robby's wealth. Never in her wildest dreams could she have imagined that he lived in such luxury."Wow," she breathed, her voice barely above a whisper as she turned to Robby, her eyes wide with disbelief. "I had no idea..."Robby smiled warmly at her, his eyes twinkling with amusement at her reaction. "Surprised?" he asked, a hint of pride evident in his voice as he ges
SOUL TANGLE NO DEAL
Adam's blood boiled with an uncontrollable rage as he stormed into his house, his footsteps echoing through the empty halls like thunder. Everything in him was shaking. The mere thought of Ayana being in another man's house sent waves of fury coursing through his veins, igniting a firestorm of possessiveness and jealousy within him. How dare she choose another man over him? How dare she find comfort and solace in someone else's arms?“That fucking son of a bitch!” He slammed his car key and his phone on the seat, his shaky hands massaging his head in an attempt to calm his demons down. But the fire burning within him was so savage, unable to be soothed. “I almost had her, for fuck’s sake! My plan had perfectly worked. If it weren’t for that... Who even is this snoopy, ugly-fugly dog, huh?” He cursed under his breath, beads of sweat dripping through his face.With each passing moment, Adam's fury only intensified, fueling the flames of his insecurities and doubts. He couldn't shake the
SOUL TANGLE FIRST PLAN
“Can’t your ass settle in the office that feeds you?” Adam sneered at Daniel.“Not when you left me so worried when you sped off like a beast going for your wife.” Daniel’s eyes cruised around the house, searching for something. When he failed to see what he was looking for, he rested on Adam and asked, “So where is she?”That cut through Adam like a daggar on the flesh. His heart twisted painfully at Daniel's words, the guilt and frustration swirling within him like a tempest. He knew he had left Daniel behind without explanation, but in the heat of the moment, all he could think about was getting Ayana. Now, faced with Daniel's accusing gaze, the weight of his actions bore down on him with crushing force."She's with another man," Adam confessed through gritted teeth, the words tasting bitter on his tongue. Each syllable felt like a betrayal, an admission of his failure to secure what was his.Daniel's eyes widened in shock, his expression a mixture of disbelief and concern. "Anothe
SOUL TANGLE ADJUSTING
Days had passed so quickly, and Ayana had adjusted well in Robby’s home despite her bafflement about the secrets that Robby was hiding from her. She had avoided asking anything because she knew she would end up being frustrated.That morning, they had just returned from the hospital to have Lyana’s bandage removed. The wound had healed completely, leaving a promising scar. It looked like it would fade away soon.“I will go play with my toys in the playroom, mommy,” Lyana said, bubbly. Robby had been more than kind and affectionate. He had been pampered like his own fresh blood.“Sure, honey. Be careful on the stairs, okay?” Ayana said.“I will,” she said as she stared up the stairs.As Lyana bounded off towards the playroom, Ayana couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude towards Robby for his kindness towards her daughter. Despite her initial reservations about staying in his home, Robby had proven to be nothing but caring and attentive towards both of them.As Lyana disappeared in
SOUL TANGLE ANOTHER WRONG MOVE
As the day wore on, the tension between Ayana and Robby thickened, hanging in the air like a suffocating fog. Each passing moment seemed to deepen the divide between them, their once-friendly interactions now replaced by an uncomfortable silence that weighed heavily on both of them.Robby's pride was wounded by Ayana's refusal of his sincere offer to take care of her and Lyana. He couldn't understand why she would insist on going back to work when he was more than willing to provide for them both. His feelings of hurt and rejection festered beneath the surface, fueling his simmering resentment towards Ayana.Meanwhile, Ayana felt insulted by Robby's reaction to her desire for independence. She couldn't shake the feeling that his offer came with strings attached—a subtle expectation of gratitude and loyalty that she wasn't prepared to give. His possessiveness and insistence on controlling their lives grated against her fiercely independent nature, leaving her feeling suffocated and tra

SOUL TANGLE PERFECTED BY THE IMPERFECTIONS
“Hey! “ Lian spoke with her signature smile, of course. “Why don’t we first stop by calling it a sin? Let us just say that it was casual sex done for the wrong reasons and at the wrong place. But all in all, we were adults, and we both proved a point that day. Of course, it hurts, just a little, because you did not offer exactly what I wanted. But if anything, Adam, I want you to know that I wouldn’t waste a chance with you even now if I had it. I am not ashamed to be on the list of, you know, all of those you have been with.” She then looked at me. “I am sorry to say this too, but at least I got to taste the famous Adam Stone De’Leon!” She smiles, and I think I am beginning to love her smile now. Eyes roll! “You are lucky, Ayana. You both are lucky to have each other. And this is where I wanted to be—to have you look at me the way you are looking at her, with so much love and adoration. Your eyes speak submission every minute they brush her. Even a fool can tell you love her so much.
SOUL TANGLE THE ISSUE OF FORGIVENESS
“What, son?” His father asks.“The merger that you seek with the De’Marios will happen.” Excuse me, what? I snap at him, and I was just to give him a piece of my mind, but a gentle squeaaze of my hand sealed my lips, opting to trust him, hoping that he knows that these bunch of heartless fools do not deserve to benefit even just one bit from me. “But not on the grounds of my marriage to Ayana!”Fantastic! Bingo! God, I so love this man!Eyes flickered on each other for a long moment of screaming silence, until my father had to break the lull. Desperate old man! “What are you talking about, son? You know you are really growing desperate by the day here. And now, we have damages to pay to the Adrianos for what Grace did. Things are weighing down on us, Adam! So, what do you suggest? Anything that will help at all. We will abide!”So, Adriano, are you asking for compensation for the damage that Grace’s actions caused? Well, they seem to be the experts in not letting any opportunity slide
SOUL TANGLE THE PEACE MAKER
After a long, unnerving moment, the door opens again and freezes on our spot as our house is swamped with people.Yeah!People!And I am not talking about two or three people here, no! This weird woman is the weirdest of all because, how did she pull all these?And yeah, before I forget, I am not talking about just any other people. Not some ordinary people. Naah!We are talking of the De’Leons, Adam’s father and mother; the De’Marios, my parents; and this skinny witch who used to be my sister. And these other people, whom I presume are Lina’s parents,.Forget everyone.

SOUL TANGLE HE AIN'T A RAPIST
“You got my information from my parents? How? When? Why?” I ask.She steadies herself. “It wasn’t intentional. It just so happened that you both were the reason why some dark secret that was kept in the dark for years was leaked out. Our families, the Adrianos, the De’Leons, and the De’Marios had to meet because that was a breach of contract!” She speaks.I get everything about the dark secret and the urgency for the two families to meet, and I can also understand that tabgle. But breach of contract? What was all about that?“Breach…” I throw Adam a glare to ask for clarity, but he seems clueless and lost like I am, so I decide to ease both our curiosities. “Breach of contract? What contract?”“Yes,” she says, throwing Adam a glance, and she speaks, looking at him as if the words were only meant for him. Wasn’t I the one who asked the damn question here? “Our families, the De’Leon’s and the Adriano’s, after settling for compensation and agreeing to bury all that had happened, signed a
SOUL TANGLE THE KNOW-IT-ALL GUEST

I am harmless, you know!” The lady, Lina, speaks, and she even has the bravery to smile at me while my hand freely retreats from the mission of shaking her hand.She had no choice but to drop hers in letdown.She is harmless.The woman that supposedly Adam raped years ago is smiling right in my face, and I should not be worried. She is harmless. Harmless, huh?What is this?Why did she come here?“I know who you are,” I murmur, hoping that we don’t have a problem here, but how stupid of me to think, no, to actually hope for that? Why would he come here if there wasn’t fire in the mountain? “Wha…what are you doing here?” I ask.As Adam composes himself and approaches, his trembling hand clasping my waist reveals the struggle within him. It's not merely a physical tremor, but a manifestation of the turmoil in his soul. I sense the weight of his past bearing down on him, an unwelcome guest crashing into the delicate balance he's been striving to maintain.In his touch, I feel the e
SOUL TANGLE MORNING GUEST
The chirping of the early morning birds calls me out of my peaceful sleep. I peel my eyes, and they almost impair with a striking, sharp pain as they collide with the savage rays of the morning sun. I shut them for a minute, but when I don’t feel those strong arms around me, I peel them open in a flash, turning around. Empty space! That explains why the widow's curtains are open, permeating the savage sunrays. He woke up before me. That has never been him. I always wake up enveloped in his arms every single day of the six months that we have been together. What changed? Is it because of that question from last night? This marriage issue? After he asked me that, and after I failed to come up with a straight answer, I just laid my head on his chest and snuggled into his warm embrace. He understood the memo, which meant I was not ready for that kind of conversation. And he respected it, just like he has always done. He pulled me closer and tighter, and we drifted off to sleep. Did I
SOUL TANGLE LET'S BE A FAMILY
“Goodnight, mommy,” Angel says after I tuck her to bed, or rather, we tuck her to bed. Me and Adam. She turns to him and says disrespectfully, "Goodnight, Uncle Adam. You two are the best." Some“Alright. Goodnight princess. Have sweet dreams, and your mommy and I love you so very much,” Adam says, kissing her on the forehead before standing up as the sweet little girl closes her eyes.My sweet little angel. My gift is straight from heaven. What can I give God to thank him for bringing her into my life? She is my pride! My joy.“Shall we?” Adam asks, holding my hand, and I don’t waste time. I follow him behind, leaving Lyana’s room as we stroll across to his master's room. Or just simply, our room. This has become our room, just as his house has become my house. We are better off being called a family. A married couple. Because this is what all this depicts. I forgot about my house a long time ago. All that is left is for me to pick up my belongings and settle here for good. Yes, here
SOUL TANGLE A SITUATION TURNS INTO A WEAPON
Ayana's anger flared, fueled by the woman's bitter accusations. "What I meant was," she retorted, her voice trembling with fury, "I did not know that Robert had a wife. And no, I have never entertained this fool ever since he came back from nowhere, and I never will. For me, he is nothing but some fresh vomit that I can never take back, no matter what."Her words cut through the tension like a knife, carrying a raw honesty that left no room for doubt. Ayana's resolve was unwavering as she stood her ground, refusing to let the woman's scornful words diminish her self-worth."And as you said," Ayana continued, her voice rising with conviction, "I am with my man.

Ayana's heart skipped a beat as she took in the sight—the woman's weary expression, the telltale swell of her abdomen—indicating she was carrying a child.As confusion clouded Ayana's mind, she searched for answers in the woman's gaze. There was a sense of familiarity—a haunting resemblance to Robert—that sent a chill down Ayana's spine. Could this woman be Robert's wife?What puzzled her was why Robert had suddenly reappeared after six years, pursuing her and their daughter, especially if he had a wife—a pregnant wife, no less.The revelation left Ayana grappling with a myriad of emotions—bewilderment, frustration, and a gnawing sense of unease. She couldn't comprehend why Robert would resurface after all this time, stirring up chaos and turmoil in their lives.The realization hit Ayana like a ton of bricks, her mind reeling at the implications.
