her dark lies

Ang buong akala ni Hikkary ay wala nang katapusan ang ligaya sa piling ng pinakamamahal na kasintahang si Zayden, ngunit nagkamali siya dahil nagwakas iyon nang malaman niyang pareho sila ng kanyang matalik na kaibigan ng lalaking minahal. She painfully ended their relationship and sacrifice her happiness just to please her best friend. Sa lahat ng desisyon na nagawa niya, iyon na siguro ang pinakamahirap at pinakamasakit— ang magparaya para sa kasiyahan ng taong itinuturing niyang pamilya. Ngunit hanggang saan siya pwedeng magparaya? Hanggang saan siya magsisinungaling sa totoong nararamdaman niya? Titikisin na lang ba niya ang sariling damdamin para sa kasiyahan ng iba?

The door swung open, and there he stood—Stanley Richardson. I froze. He was dressed in only a partially buttoned white shirt, his chiseled chest and toned abs on full display. A silver chain glinted against his skin, and his low-hanging boxers revealed more than I was prepared to see. My cheeks burned as my gaze dropped to the ground. “Evening,” I mumbled, my voice barely audible. Stanley leaned casually against the doorframe, his piercing amber eyes boring into me. A smirk tugged at his lips, and he looked me over as though I were some insignificant object. “What do you want?” he asked, his tone sharp, almost bored. “I—I’ve changed my mind,” I stammered, forcing myself to meet his gaze. “About the deal. I’m ready to accept it.” His smirk widened into something almost cruel. He chuckled, a low, mocking sound that sent a shiver down my spine. “You’re ready, huh?” he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “Well, too bad. The deal’s closed.” ********** Betrayed by love and abandoned by family, Alora Kane is left with nothing but a shattered heart and a bruised spirit. Desperation drives her to the doorstep of Stanley Richardson, a ruthless billionaire with a reputation for breaking more than just deals. Seeking a lifeline, she’s met with a cold rejection that leaves her reeling. But Alora isn’t one to stay down for long. In a world where power and survival go hand in hand, she must find her strength, confront her past, and navigate a dangerous game of betrayal, desire, and vengeance. Will she rise, or will she fall?

“They are obviously my children” usal ni Juancho kay Orelia. Natigilin ang babae at naibagsak ang inaayos na mga bulaklak. ”Ano ang ibig mong sabihin?Ni hindi nga kita kilala!” iwas tinging depensa ni Orelia sa lalaki at agad niyang itinago ang dalawang bata sa kanyang likuran. “Hmm, hindi nga ba ikaw yon? But why do these children have my face then?” paninindigan ni Juancho. Pilit na nagpapakita ng matapang na mukha si Orelia, desidido na siyang hindi masangkot sa lalaki matapos ang isang gabi ng pagkakamaling iyon. Mamamatay muna siya bago niya hayaang mapasakamay ng lalaki ang kanyang mga anak. “Or would you rather have me let you remember what transpired that night,” usal ng ni Juancho sabay ng pag haplos sa mga labi ni Orelia gamit ang kanyang daliri. “Don’t touch our mom you bad guy!” biglang pumigitna ang batang babae at pilit na itinulak si Juancho. Nakasunod rito ang takot na batang lalaki. Laking gulat ni Orelia sa biglaang kilos ng mga bata kaya hindi niya napigilan ang agarang paghawak ni Juancho sa mga ito. Handa na siyang itulak ang lalaki at bawiin ang bata nang nakita niya ang mga mata ni Juancho na nakatitig sa kambal, ang malamig at walang emosyon nitong mga mata ay napalitan ng lambot. Ito ay mga matang matagal niya ng hindi nakikita, ang mga matang minsan ng nagpapabilis sa tibok ng kanyang puso. Saksihan ang mainit, matamis at masakit na relasyon ng dalawang mag kaibang indibidwal mula sa magkasalungat na estado ng buhay. Ang kanilang katapusan ba ay magsisimula sa ligaya o patuloy na magbabadya ang paghihirap sa kanilang mga buhay?

This is the fourth book to the Bloodstone series. It can be read as a standalone, but it will have cross-over characters from the series. The dark realm is heavily guarded for a reason. Nothing good lurks beyond the border. Nothing good ever happens in a world full of darkness and evil intentions. But sometimes, you have to tempt fate to save your soul. Nesrin should know by now that tempting fate only leads to sorrow, poor decisions, and potentially deadly situations. But sometimes, the need to save someone else from their own fate clouds your judgement. What will Nesrin do when she goes too far down the rabbit hole? What will happen when she is on the brink of death, and the only thing that can save her is losing a piece of her own soul too? The clock is ticking, and the creatures lurking in the shadows can't help themselves when the chance to taste royal blood is on the line.
