no we can't be friends

A year after my divorce, my ex-husband, Harvey Fisher, pings me in a group chat. "This cold war has gone on for long enough. Come home—let's remarry." I reply, "Have you lost your mind?" Everyone in the group chat tries to convince me to take Harvey back. Meanwhile, he asks, "What have you been doing without me in your life?" I turn to look at my current husband, who's putting our child to sleep. I reply, "Recovering after having a child." The group chat members are initially excited, but they instantly fall silent at my words. Harvey angrily calls me countless times, but I ignore him. His mind is not the only thing he's lost—he's also lost the young woman who once loved him more than life itself.

A can change everything. One with your best friend, and it changes the whole dynamic. What will you do when you get to know that your best friend has been in love with you? What will you do when she doesn't want to be friends anymore and wants more instead? * “Everytime I see you with a guy, my skin burns” Millie hisses, pinning me with an intense look that makes my belly flip. I am pinned to the wall with her caging me. “Do you know how hard it is to pretend that you are only my friend, and nothing more? That I love you but cannot have you?” Her words spin inside my head, and the thundering beating of my heart echoes in my ear. How do we come to this situation? I pant as she leans closer, her eyes averting to my parted lips. I am having thoughts of her. Hell, I see her in my dreams so often now that I am not sure what she means to me now. Millie caresses my cheeks and a shiver runs down my spine. “I can't pretend anymore, Grace. It's getting really hard” she whispers in my ear and I squirm. When she meets my eyes, I say something that surprises her. “Then don't.” I crash my lips on hers, crossing whatever lines we had.

When I was ten, Jonathan Cooper saved me and told me he would protect me for life. When I was 15, I met William Reed. He also told me he would protect me forever. Yet, the year I turned 23, the two men who swore to always keep me safe threw me into the ocean for the sake of their true love.

Para kay Dhalia Augustine Madrigal, ang buhay ay isang serye ng pagsubok—lalo na nang tanggapin niya ang trabahong maging sekretarya ng malupit at istriktong bilyonaryo, si Henri Yanno Garciaz. Habang lahat ng naunang sekretarya ay hindi nagtagal, siya lang ang nagtiis at nakasabay sa ugali nito. Ngunit hindi niya inasahan na ang trabahong ito ang magdadala sa kanya sa isang alok na magpapabago sa kanyang buhay. Isang kasal kapalit ng sampung milyong piso. Para kay Henri, si Dhalia ang perpektong sagot upang makaiwas sa isang sapilitang kasal sa kanyang unang pag-ibig. Ngunit sa kabila ng kasunduang iyon, hindi niya maitanggi ang lumalalim niyang damdamin para sa babaeng laging naroon para sa kanya. Unti-unting nagbago ang kanilang relasyon, at sa kabila ng mga pagsubok, natagpuan nila ang tunay na kaligayahan sa isa’t isa. Ngunit sa isang iglap, nagbago ang lahat. Isang rebelasyong nag-ugat sa nakaraan ang gumulo sa buhay ni Dhalia—isa pala siyang Lim, kapatid ng dating minahal ni Henri. At ang mas matinding dagok, isang larawan ang sumira sa kanilang tiwala—isang larawan na nagpatunay na may ibang babae si Henri. Sa gitna ng sakit at kahihiyan, pinili niyang lumayo, dala ang lihim na siya rin ay nagdadalang-tao. Limang taon ang lumipas, at sa kabila ng pagtatago ni Dhalia, hindi siya tinantanan ng lalaking minsan niyang minahal. Ngayon, muling bumalik si Henri sa buhay niya, handang patunayan ang isang bagay—na sa kabila ng lahat, si Dhalia lang ang babaeng nais niyang makasama habambuhay. Ngunit sapat ba ang pagmamahal upang paghilumin ang sugat ng nakaraan?

BOOK #6 - WRIGHT-PETROV SERIES After her father's death, Kamilla lost her association with her father's employer. The Petrov family. Everything else followed. People she considered friends, including her boyfriend, turned their backs on her. She was outcasted by the same people previously groveling to please her. Overnight, she becomes a nobody. An easy target for the hypocrites of society. Nonetheless, she endures. She is far stronger than anyone realizes. However, someone thought she needed protection. "Why are you doing this, Mr. Samuel Petrov? I do not need the frivolity of your world. And please do not give me that lame excuse about being my father's friend again," she shows her defiance by meeting his calm gaze with her sharp angry one. "Believe me, Kamilla, you will not want to hear my reasons." Samuel bore her with an ominous look, attempting to dismiss her. "What reasons, Mr. Petrov? Does it include watching me sleep in the middle of the night? Or your huge one down there having a hard-on whenever you see me in my flimsy nightgown?" with regained boldness, she sassed while pointing at the bump of his pants. Samuel raised a brow in response to her brazenness. "It's just the tip of the iceberg you are seeing, Kamilla. You do not want to know the rest of it," his voice turned icy cold as he gritted every word. "I'm no angel, Samuel Petrov. I can smell your desire since day one, baby" A suggestive sultry smile carves her lips. "Fuck you, Kamilla. Don't call me baby" she was no longer surprise when he swiftly pulled and pinned her on the couch. "It's dangerous" His ragged hot breath fanned her face, and a rock-hard thing was wedged between them.
