new year gamble; i humiliated my boastful uncle

Limang taon.. Limang taon na nakulong si Sapphire, dahil sa kagagawan ng kanyang asawa, at ng kabit nito, na kanya mismong kapatid. Sa kanyang paglaya, mismong ang hudas pa niyang asawa ang sumundo sa kanya, dahil hindi maaaring iakyat sa bahay ng mga Briones, ang isang kabit. Alam na ni Sapphire ang kanyang plano, ang maghiganti sa kanyang asawang si Dexter, at sa kanyang kakambal na si Emerald. Nais din niyang hanapin, ang batang iniluwal niya, na pinalabas nilang patay, bago siya makulong. Ngunit pagdating niya sa kanilang bahay, ang isang lalaking gwapo, at hinahangaan ng lahat, ay naroroon, si Ezekiel Briones, na may bitbit na anak. Hindi niya mawari sa kanyang sarili, kung bakit ang pakiramdam niya sa lalaki, ay inaakit siya, at yun naman ay pinayagan ng kanyang puso. Saka pa lang malalaman ni Dexter, na nagkamali ito, at nais ayusin ang kanilang pagsasama.. Sino ang pipiliin niya? ang dati niyang minamahal, na pinahirapan siya, o ang gwapong si tito Ezekiel, na hindi niya malaman kung seryoso sa kanya?

All I wanted was to submit to his dominance.I desired his warmth around my body; his breath brushed across my exposed skin, and his frigid lips kissed me softly. I had a crazy fantasy about my lecturer. Indeed, it was. He kissed me, and I kissed him back. I seduced him, and he burned me in his flame. But the only problem we had was that he was my mother's new boyfriend, and our love would destroy both of us. *** Isabella, a 19-year-old spoil brat of a billionaire’s mother. She is a perfect example of beauty, she has a striking figure, with long, cascading red hair. Ezekiel, a 25-year-old who has his own business, besides being the heir of a famous university, he does part time lecture there. His physical presence was just as imposing as his reputation. At 6'3" with a diamond-shaped face, broad shoulders, and a hot figure. "Isabella's relationship with Ezekiel is, Ezekiel dates Isabella's mother and he is also Isabella's professor, but she falls in love with him."

Lalo pang lumala ang sitwasyon nang magkamali ng akala si Tyron tungkol kay Alexander, iniisip na may masamang balak ito sa kanya. Pero sa kabila ng lahat, ang tanging nais lang ni Alexandra ay ang makalaya sa lason na kasal at mabawi ang buhay na isinuko niya noon para sa pag-ibig.

"Hector, totoo ang sinabi ko sayo. Gusto kong magka-in love-an tayo, at magkasama nang seryoso, tulad ng magkasintahan, mula sa pagiging estranghero hanggang sa magkaintindihan tayo. Gusto kong maranasan yung pakiramdam na pantay tayo. Ikaw si Hector, bilang si Hector na asawa ko at hindi tiyuhin ng ibang tao, at ako si Anne bilang si Anne na asawa mo at hindi kasintahan ng ibang tao. Mag-ipon tayo ng mga alaala, isang taon, dalawang taon, tatlong taon, sampung taon, kung okay lang sayo?" Inabot ako ni Hector at hinila para umupo sa kanyang kandungan, at sinabi nang mahinahon "Okay, pero, love, wala akong karanasan, kailangan mo akong turuan pa. Pero..." Hindi ko alam kung sinasadya ni Hector na biglang huminto at hinaplos ang kaniyang maiinit na labi sa gilid ng aking mukha "Pero... Pagdating sa pagkahulog, dapat ang lalaki ang mag-initiate. Maghintay ka lang, susuyuin kita."
