Lion Sin Of Pride

Jennifer Porter, the icy and untouchable CEO, never imagined that buying a simple jade pendant for her childhood friend would change everything. Because of that pendant, I divorced her and left with our daughter. After all, the jade pendant was my father's keepsake, and her childhood friend smashed it to pieces right in front of me. We met again three years later, at an international jewelry design competition. My ex-wife grabbed my wrist, fury burning in her eyes. "You've been gone for three years. Isn't your tantrum long enough? I'll buy you a hundred jade pendants, just come home with me." The next second, a small hand tugged at her clothes. "Excuse me, could you step aside? My mom needs to talk to my dad."

Kaya mo bang iwan ang taong mahal mo para sa ikabubuti niya? Matagal nang lihim na minamahal ni Jenna Levanier ang kaklase niyang si Yves Roize—ang lalaking laging nagaalaga at nagtatanggol sa kanya mula pagkabata. Hindi alam ni Jenna, matagal na rin pala siyang tinitibok ng puso nito. At nang sa wakas ay umamin sila sa isa’t isa, parang handa na ang mundo para sa kanilang unang pag-ibig. Hanggang dumating ang tawag na nagpabago ng lahat. Napilitang lumayo si Yves nang walang paliwanag. Iniwasan niya si Jenna, iniwan ang pangako, at iniwang nakabitin ang isang pag-ibig na kakasimula pa lamang. Sa sakit ng biglaang paglayo, napuno ng pagdududa si Jenna—totoo ba ang sinabi niya? O sinubukan lang siyang mahalin saglit? Pagkalipas ng mga taon, muling nagkita sila sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon—sa reunion ng Altrius Academy. Doon niya muling nasulyapan ang binatang minahal niya noon… ngunit sa pagkakataong ito, hawak-hawak na ni Yves ang isang lihim na magbubura sa lahat ng akala niya. At habang sinusubukan niyang manatiling tama at matatag, hindi niya maiiwasang ipaglaban ang damdaming inilibing niya noon—damdaming bawal na, mapanganib, at imposibleng ipaglaban: ang Illicit Affair sa kaniyang bilyonaryong pinsan.

"You can't make me marry Davis. I'm already in love with Kayden, my boyfriend," I said, looking up at my father with a mix of surprise and shock. "How do you think you will pay for your deadbeat boyfriend's surgery without Davis' money?" he asked me, smiling like someone who had just hit a jackpot. *** As I walked down the aisle with tears in my eyes, I had to remind myself of why I was doing this. Kayden needed me. Standing in front of the altar, I saw Davis, the man I was to marry, and froze. He was...handsome. Even with the scowl that covered his face as he lifted my veil, his entire features seemed perfectly handcrafted by God himself. But, he didn't look pleased… "I know I messed up, but making me marry this ugly clown is too much punishment," he said, staring with displeasure into my mascara-smudged face. This was going to be much worse than I thought. *** Torn between having to save her critically ill boyfriend, Kayden, and saving her greedy family from impending poverty, Cassie is forced to marry the rude and domineering Billionaire, Davis Monroe, who does not even remotely love her. Being married to him is the most difficult thing she's ever done but strangely, even when she has the chance to leave, something compels her to stay. A few months later, her boyfriend Kayden returns healthy, extremely wealthy and ready to make her his wife. How will she make her choice? What will she do when she discovers the secret that will break her? The fact that her entire life has been a lie, spun by her father.

Payne Nivanna Warwick never imagined that she will be following a man, just to get the partnership she was aiming for so many years. As a business woman, para kay Payne ay walang kasing halaga ang partnership na ito kumapara sa iba. She badly needed this partnership to secure her good spot in the business industry. Isa pa ay ito ang pangarap ng mga magulang niya kaya kaylangan niya itong tuparin. Akala ni Payne ay magiging madali lamang ang lahat sa kanya, pero mukang hindi lang sabi-sabi ang titulo ng binata na sinusuyo niya. Hindi nga ito tinawag na Ruthless Businessman dahil lang sa wala, at ultimo ang karisma niya ay hindi tumatalab sa lalaking iyon. Lahat ng paraan ay ginawa na ni Payne pero talagang nagmamatigas ang binata. Kung tutuusin nga ay madali lang ito para sa kanya, kayang-kaya niyang gumamit ng dahas makuha lang ang gusto niya. Pero hindi niya malaman kung bakit ba pagdating sa binata ay tila nakakalimutan niya kung sino ba talaga siya.

Shifters are off limits. But for this hot single father, I’ll break all the rules… Inside the classroom, I have plenty of rules. Outside the classroom, I only have one—don’t date shifters. That includes the single father of my new kindergarten student. But limiting myself to sideways glances at Bratt’s powerful muscles is proving impossible to do. I, of all people, should know better. Until recently, humans and shifters weren’t even allowed to be together. Not to mention I could lose my job for dating a student’s parent. And if anyone found out that I’ve already been bitten once and how badly that ended, I could be run out of town all over again. My heart is telling me that Bratt’s different. But if I give in to temptation, there are those who want to keep us apart. By any means necessary…

"I-I swear I didn't mean to enter this house. I got l-lost. I am s-sorry sir." She politely said taking a step back only for her to froze in the spot. "Seal" He smirked when the main door of the mansion got sealed just by his one command. He could see how much she was trembling in fear. She looked like little innocent lamb trapped by the giant wolf who was toying with her before attacking her to his fullest. "Now my lady I am a gentleman I don't like to send my guests back without showing my hospitality. Especially uninvited guests." He said as his smirk widened. "Just look at you. An epitome of perfection." He said pointing at her head to tow before creepily darkening his shiny orbs. "And Perfection is made for only perfection. Which means you're made for a man like me." This was enough to make her run to the door faster than hurricane. A Story about a Narcasstic Mafia boss who considers himself a Greek God with insane power he holds.

As a Catholic girl I was just trying to make it through college. I wasn't looking for a lot in life. Just good grades, getting married before twenty two, having a few kids and God's blessings. People say that in life, you don't always get what you want and life has a way of roaming from the trail you planned to follow. I never realised how true the saying was. Religion was my everything, so what happens when I end up falling for the same gender? It couldn't get worse, right? But as life always feels the need to show you, it could... And it would.
