Waking Her Up

Laila Jones has spent eight years building a quiet, beautiful life for herself and her daughter, Malaya. After her high school boyfriend caved to his racist grandfather and chose football and family approval over her and their unborn baby, Laila left Ohio, moved south, and raised Malaya on her own. Now Malaya is eight, there’s a daddy–daughter dance coming up, and her one Christmas wish is simple—and heartbreaking: she wants to meet her dad. Going home for the holidays was hard enough. Running into Jordan Hall, now the golden-boy quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals, is worse. He’s famous, gorgeous, and acting like he has the right to look at her with regret. Laila is ready to avoid him, yell at him, or both. What she doesn’t know is that after his grandfather’s death, Jordan discovered every letter she ever sent—proof that she kept their baby, begged him to come, and raised their daughter without him. The truth wrecks him, and this Christmas, he’s determined to fight for the family he should have had all along. But Laila isn’t interested in being anyone’s redemption arc. Especially not while his nasty fiancée is calling her a liar to the press and the internet is tearing her apart. As secrets unravel and emotions explode in front of cameras, Laila and Jordan have to decide what matters more: anger, pride, and old wounds…or the little girl who still believes Christmas wishes can come true.

Dahil sa kalokohan ng kaibigan, ay napiliting mag-aral si Allysa sa isang unibersidad na ni minsan ay wala sa kanyang pagpipilian. Isa itong high-class university sa buong bansa ngunit mas gugustuhin pa niyang mag-aral sa ibang university huwag lamang dito. Gustuhin man niyang magback-out ngunit wala na siyang ibang pagpipilian sapagkat pasukan narin sa susunod na linggo at ang unibersidad lamang na ito ang tumaggap sa kanya. Labis pa niyang ipinagtaka na sa dami ng unibersidad na pinag-applyan niya ay wala ni isa sa mga ito ang nag-email sa kanya upang magbigay ng feedback. Labag man sa kanyang kalooban na mag-aral dito maging ang kanyang mga magulang, ay wala na silang magagawa sapagkat isa sa mga batas dito ay hindi na pwedeng mag-back out ang mga natanggap sa enrollment. Kung hindi ay mas lalong malalagay sa alanganin ang kanilang buhay. Sa unang tapak pa lamang niya sa Shioma University ay hindi niya lubos maisip na may isang lalakeng makakapasok sa kanyang dorm. Ang lalakeng mas lalong magpapagulo sa kanyang buhay. "I won't let anyone to see your precious body, babe. No one or I'll not hesitate to kill them."

"Babygirl?" I asked again confused. "I call my submissive my baby girl. That's a preference of mine. I like to be called Daddy." He said which instantly turned me on. What the hell is wrong with me? " *** Iris was so excited to leave her small town home in Ohio to attend college in California. She wanted to work for a law firm one day, and now she was well on her way. The smell of the ocean air was a shock to her senses when she pulled up to Long beach, but everything was so bright and beautiful. The trees were different, the grass, the flowers, the sun, everything was different. The men were different here. Professor Ryker Lorcane was different. He was intelligent but dark. Strong but steady. Everything the boys back home were not. *** I moaned loudly as he pulled out and pushed back in slowly each time going a little deeper. "You feel so good baby girl," he said as he slid back in. "Are you ready to be mine?" He said looking at me with those dark carnal eyes coming back into focus. I shook my head, yes, and he slammed into me hard. "Speak." He ordered. "Yes Daddy, I want to be yours," I said loudly this time.

During the three years after I'm diagnosed with a malignant tumor, my husband performs over 30 major surgeries on me so he can keep me around to donate my corneas to his true love. Finally, when she has the courage to face her illness under his encouragement, he follows a doctor's advise and gives up on treating me. I laugh when taking my last breath. He has no idea that the cancer has already spread to my eyes. He won't be transplanting my corneas in his true love's eyes—he'll be planting cancer in her.

Childhood love. Diyan nagsimula ang lahat. Akala ko matamis ang unang pag-ibig. Pero ito pala ang magtuturo sa akin na sa buhay ay hindi puro kasiyahan lamang— na ang reyalidad sa mundo ay may kaakibat na paghihirap at sakit. Ibinigay ko ang lahat na kahit ang pangarap kong maging engineer ay isinakripisyo ko alang-alang sa lalakeng minamahal ko. Akala ko ay sapat na iyon para masungkit ko ang puso niya at ipaalala sa kanya ang mga pangakong binitiwan niya. Pero hindi pa pala sapat kahit na pati sarili ko ay ibinigay ko ng buo sa kanya. Walang kulang, labis-labis na pagmamahal. Lumayo ako dala ang bunga ng aking pagmamahal at ng kanyang kapusukan. Hindi ko sinalba ang sarili ko, sinalba ko ang magiging anak ko. Muli, inakala kong nakalaya na ako sa bulag na pag-ibig. Pero sadyang mapagbiro ang tadhana— nagkita kaming muli sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon. Wala siyang maalala. Ginamit ko iyon para makapaghiganti. Pero hanggang kailan ko lolokohin ang sarili? Hanggang kailan ako tatakbo para hanapin ang sariling minsang nawala dahil sa aking unang pag-ibig?

Strip now! you're my wife anyway" Harrison had said to Katherina as she fret over the chair she was sitting on. He was definitely not the man she had nursed till he got his memory back.

I love you....I love you so very much Rina" he wailed to her ear. "Harrison." "Swear by my name Rina, tell me you only love me and not my brother." Harrison cried holding her body firmly. He definitely was in pain as he uttered those words with great grievance. Katherina just watched him wretch in pain. "I do not love you Harrison, I do not!" She had said back to him throwing his hands off her. Had she made a wrong choice of staying with him? Was he showing her this side of his just to keep her to himself or was he getting a revenge on her for lying to him just to acquire his wealth?
