a study in scarlet women

NO boyfriend since birth ang peg ni Kara kaya naman sa edad na 25 ay pilit siyang nirereto ng ina sa mga anak ng amiga nito. Kaya lang naman wala siyang boyfriend ay dahil hinihintay niya ang lalaking lihim niyang minamahal. Ito ay ang kanyang bestfriend na si Lorenzo. Ang kaso may mahal na iba ang lalaki. Kaya nang malaman niyang liligawan na nito ang babaeng gusto nito ay gumuho ang mundo niya. Naisip niya tutal wala naman ng pag-asa ang lovelife niya ay papayag na lang siya sa kagustuhan ng ina na pakasalan ang anak ng isa sa amiga nito. Pero nagulat siya dahil sa araw ng kasal niya ay bigla na lang sumulpot si Lorenzo at sinabing ilalayo siya nito, na hindi ito pumapayag sa kasal. Matutupad na ba ang matagal niyang hiling o isa lamang itong panaginip?

I felt his lips brush against my earlobe, a soft brush that suddenly made my toes curl. His breath lingered on my neck before he finally whispered, "I own you Crystal. The sooner you get to accept that the better for you. I'll make sure you submit yourself to me, be it the hard way or the easy way. And I'll break this ego of yours. I promise you" * * * * * * He was her beast and she was his beauty. He was addicted and she was his favourite drug. He was a sinner and she was his sin. In the blink of an eye, Crystal sees her entire life crumble with the death of her parents and she is forced to take a job that she would never have thought off to make ends meet for her and her sister and pay of her gambling father's debt to a crime boss-- being a stripper. Just a glance on the doe-eyed caramel skin beauty swinging her hips seductively on the pole and Leonardo already knew he had to have her as his. He had to claim her for himself. But he was everything she hated. She despised him and loathed his existence for the pain and anguish he had caused her and her sister. She swore never to succumb to him but what she didn't know was that he was also determined to show her that he would earn a place in her heart and life.

To top it all up, she's pregnant, and Nick is offering her a huge sum to get rid of the "mistake!" He wants nothing to do with her and the unborn child... Until four years later when he bumps into her in a small town.

"You will be judged by the Goddess." His expression quickly changes to one of anger, exposing his ruse. "I see you in the Palace of the Goddess, I will kill you again." I growl.
