araw city

Si Caroline Shenton ay ang matagal na at hindi matinag tinag na presensiya sa tabi ni Evan Jordan. Sa malawak na lungsod ng Angelbay, siya ang ikatlong anak at pinakaiingatan na kayamanan ng misteryosong Jordan family, isang hindi mahawakan at sagradong ganda. Pero, sa loob-loob niya, alam ni Caroline na kapalit lang siya, taga punan para sa tunay niyang pag-ibig. Sa araw na nahanap ni Evan ang tunay niyang pag-ibig, malupit niyang itinapon si Caroline na parang laspag na sapatos. Sapagkat nasiraan siya ng loob at dismayado, naging malamig siya, at kasama ang sanggol hindi pa niya ipinapanganak, pinili niyang magsimula ng bagong buhay sa malayong lugar. Lingid sa kanyang kaalaman, nabaliw si Evan, hindi alintana na ang kanyang isang dekada ng hinahanap, na tunay niyang pag-ibig, ay matagal na palang nasa tabi niya…

"You came to me, you initiated the whole thing that lead to my being dis-virgined. I promised my grandma that until I get married, I wasn't going to share my bed with any woman, but you came along and forcefully took me to bed. You seduced me, you took my virginity, therefore you have to marry me." On the night of a heartbreaking discovery, Rayne is forced into giving her first time to a handsome stranger, one she never thought she'd be meeting afterward, but after she woke up with a ring on her finger, she shockingly finds out she is now the wife to one of the city's eligible bachelors, Eric Arnold, a Domineering Billionaire.

It was cold dark and lonely, she had brought the light, and for that reason, he would keep her, whatever it takes. On the day she is supposed to be married to her beloved, she is suddenly kidnapped by the most dangerous man in the country. He forces himself on her and imposes a marriage on her with a threat to kill the man she loves, and for that reason, she despised him to no end. He is the ruthless Don of the mafia world, he rules over the city and the country itself, not even the law can get to him. He kidnaps her on the day she is to be married to someone else and forcefully takes her to posses her so she could only belong to him and him alone. Excerpt: "You are mine," She shuddered as he took a threatening step towards her trapping her between himself and the wall behind, "Mine and no one else's, and the day you dare glance at another man with affection I will destroy him along with anything and everything he cares about, and if I have to annihilate the whole city even the whole country just to destroy him then I will gladly do so, and you will remain in the middle of it all with me and no one else." From trying to run away to hopelessly falling in love with the mafia lord who'd stolen her from another.

"Ames, darling, you worry me." Linc Tanner, my billionaire stepfather breathes into the phone, and heat rises to my face at that damn nickname. That nickname coming out from his forbidden lips, capable of making my toes curl, my knees bent before him, taking all of him deep into my throat. ♠︎ ♠︎ ♠︎ The first day she came in contact with her stepfather, Amelia felt something shift in the air. Linc exudes menace. There's something about him that overwhelmed her. As the years passed—she found this magnetism toward him. It drew her in so deeply that despite knowing how wrong it was to find her stepfather attractive and lust after him, she couldn’t talk herself out of it. It was every shade of wrong. She should’ve been disgusted. Her pussy still clenched every time she thought about him, the way he looks at her, those dark eyes filled with a ring of lust and primal hunger. It melted her, it soaked her. It drenched her. When Amelia received a call to intern in her billionaire stepfather's company throughout the summer break, Amelia is terrified of what awaits her back in his New York City mansion where just three years ago after her mother's death and till now, she had been fighting against her treacherous feelings for him. He's been the only object of her wildest fantasies. Oh, the things she had thought about him doing to her, they were illicit. Filthy. Completely taboo. But Amelia is determined not to let her secret attraction override her judgments. Only if Linc would share the same resolve. She got the shock of her life when he didn't, and that is where the lines get blurrier for them.

My name is Mara Park, and I am a twenty-three-year-old fresh graduate taking up business administration from a public school in my province.  I don't know that when you graduate from a public school, especially when your school is unknown to anyone in a big city, even though you have a diploma, it is hard to find a job, most of all when you don't have any work experience. I am an orphan and living alone. No one will provide for my needs if I don't find a job. I know no one in this place. No, I have one. I smiled, Jared. He has been my boyfriend for almost four years now. I didn't tell him I followed him after my graduation. I wanted to surprise him after I found a decent job. The last time I talked to him, he told me he was working at a big company as a finance manager, and I'm so proud of him. So here I am, struggling to find a job. I disregarded my diploma and applied as a waitress in a diner near the Fernandez Corporation building, hoping one day I could snatch a job in that company, even if it was just as a receptionist. It would be a huge achievement for me. I'd been working in the restaurant for a month when I saw an older man pass out near my workplace. He begged me to bring him home because he had forgotten where he lived and his name. I couldn't bear to leave him alone in the middle of the night, so I brought him home, and my life turned upside down after that when I found that he was the grandfather of the owner of Fernandez Corporation. That led me to find out my real identity.

This book is authored by Dripping Creativity. “Stay away, stay away from me, stay away,” she shouted, over and over. She kept shouting even though it seemed she had run out of things to throw. Zane was more than a little interested in knowing exactly what was going on. But he couldn’t focus with the woman making a ruckus. “Will you shut the fuck up!” he roared at her. She fell silent and he saw tears start to fill her eyes, her lips trembled. Oh fuck, he thought. Like most men, a crying woman scared him shitless. He would rather have a gunfight with a hundred of his worst enemies than have to deal with one crying woman. “And your name is?” he asked. “Ava,” she told him in a thin voice. “Ava Cobler?” he wanted to know. Her name had never sounded so beautiful before, it surprised her. She almost forgot to nod. “My name is Zane Velky,” he introduced himself, holding out a hand. Ava’s eyes grew bigger as he heard the name. Oh no, not that, anything but that, she thought. “You have heard of me,” he smiled, he sounded satisfied. Ava nodded. Everyone who lived in the city knew the name Velky, it was the largest mafia group in the state with its centre in the city. And Zane Velky was the head of the family, the don, the big boss, the huge honcho, the Al Capone of the modern world. Ava felt her panicked brain spin out of control.

"Yes! I want to be your girlfriend, Kairus Dhan Alvarez. Sinasagot na kita," sigaw ng kaibigan ko. Ouch! Nanigas ako sa kinatayuan ko ng pagpasok ko pa lang sa university kung saan ako nag-aaral, ng marinig ko ang sigaw ng isang pamilyar na boses, o should I say, ng aking best friend. Ang ganda naman ng bungad. Hindi ako makagalaw sa kinatayuan ko. Para akong natulala. Para akong binagsakan ng langit at lupa. "WOAH, CONGRATS NEW COUPLE." Nanlalabo ang paningin ko habang pinagmamasdan ang kaibigan ko at ang lalaking mahal ko. Kitang kita ko kung gaano kasaya si Kairus nang sagutin siya ni Amara. Nagyayakapan silang dalawa, at worst, they kissed each other in front of me. Mas lalong lumakas ang sigawan ng mga tao habang ako naman ay parang nabingi. Hindi ko alam kung anong nararamdaman ko. Basta alam ko lang, unti-unti nang nawawasak ang puso ko. Yumuko ako. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang physical na sakit sa puso ko. "I LOVE YOU, AMARA... SO MUCH!" D@MN! Tuluyan nang nawasak ang puso ko nang marinig ko ang katagang iyon mula sa bibig ng mahal ko na para sa kaibigan ko. Kinagat ko ang aking ibabang labi upang pigilan ang luha na gustong kumawala sa aking mga mata. Dapat handa na ako sa ganito, alam kong darating ang araw na ito, pero p*tangina, bakit parang sobrang sakit? Bakit parang hindi ko kaya? "BESH...!" Kaagad kong pinunasan ang isang butil na luha na tuluyan itong kumawala sa mata ko. Huminga ako ng malalim at saka inangat ang paningin sa kaibigan kong patakbong palapit sa akin na may malaking ngiti. Ngumiti din ako, pero pilit lang. Sinubukan kong maging masaya para hindi siya makahalata. "KAMI NA... I ALREADY SAID YES TO HIM," masaya niyang sabi bago ako niyakap.

Ipinakasal siya sa lalaking hindi pa niya nakikilala. Hindi dumating si Timothy Richmon sa araw ng kasal nila ni Zennara Reyes ngunit sa papel ay tunay na silang mag-asawa. Ang kasal na walang pagmamahal at ni minsan ay hindi man lang umuwi si Timothy sa bahay nila ng kanyang asawa. Hanggang sa isang araw ay pinaghandaan ni Zennara ang pag-uwi ng kanyang asawa. Nais niya itong makita kaya sasalubungin niya sana ito sa Airport.  Ngunit sa hindi inaasahan na pagkakataon ay may lalaking bigla na lang humila sa kanya at dinala siya sa madilim na lugar. Malakas ang lalaki at hindi niya ito kayang labanan. Pagkatapos ng nangyari ay lumabas ang lalaki at nangako ito na babalik. Ngunit nakatanggap si Zennara ng tawag mula sa secretary ng kanyang asawa na nais nitong makipaghiwalay na sa kanya. Ang kanilang kasal ay nauwi sa diborsyo. Umalis ng bansa si Zennara at sa kanyang pagbabalik ay may kasama na siyang dalawang cute na bata.  Ano ang gagawin ni Zennara kapag nadiskubre niya ang isang malaking lihim? Ang lihim na hindi niya inaasahan.

Hindi akalain ni Gwin na ang pagdamay sa matalik na kaibigang bigo sa pag-ibig ay mauuwi sa isang gabing pagkakamali. Nagkunwari siyang walang nangyari no'ng gabing nalasing sila, sa kagustuhang ayaw masira ang pagkakaibigan nila. Pero hindi niya pala kayang magkunwari ng matagal. Sa araw na handa na siyang sabihin ang totoo ay siya namang pagbalik ng girlfriend nito. Ramdam at kita niya kung gaano kasaya ang matalik na kaibigan sa pagbalik ng babaeng mahal. Kaya sa huli ay pinili na lamang niya na lumayo at nangako sa sarili na habangbuhay na ilihim ang nangyari sa kanila. Pero paano kung muling mag-cross ang landas nila? Magagawa niya pa bang ilihim ang nangyari gayong nagbunga pala ang pagkakamaling nagawa nila?
