When I Marry A Stranger

He watched her for a long moment, the anger in his eyes unmistakable. She imagined he was thinking of ways to punish her, but nothing prepared her for what he said next. "Strip." It was one word, but she doubted if she heard him correctly the first time, was he really going to punish her? "What… what was that?" She asked innocently. "Strip, Nancy." "I won't." "So you refuse me, I see." he said it lightly, the evil smile still playing on his lips. "That will not stop me from having you though" "You won't." She said firmly "Won't I?" She had expected to arouse his anger tonight, but nothing prepared her for the icy rage that contorted his features and the resentment and coldness in his eyes. "Has he touched you yet?" Derek asked suddenly, his eyes still hard on her and his look ever so cold. "Depends on the kind of touch you mean," She replied in a soft, tempting voice, "He has touched me in certain ways. But you are my husband and I should not be telling you that.” "No," he returned coldly. "We are just master and slave, nothing else links us.” ***** Forced to marry against their will, Nancy must not only prove to Derek Lincoln that she was never his lost betrothed, but she must also prove to the parents of his real betrothed that she is not their daughter. But when a man is this beautiful and yet so arrogant, God knows loving him could not be so difficult. Except he is strongly involved with his mistress, who would give anything to have him, even if it meant killing his present wife. But was he worth it? Nay. To him, she is just a personal whore.

I had supported Lauren Geller through seven years of competitive cycling. After she defended her championship title, I handed her the divorce papers myself. Her shining career ended there and then. I had been able to carry her to the summit, and I could just as easily lift someone else in her place. It was not until I appeared before her with my girlfriend that she finally understood. It had never been Lauren who abandoned me; I was the one who chose to walk away.

"You need financial freedom. I need a bride. One signature—and your debt’s gone." *** Kira Navarro thought she had everything under control. Maayos ang trabaho, may konting ipon, at kahit papaano'y nakakaraos sa buhay. Dahil sa sobrang pagod at stress, napa-oo siya sa mga kaibigan na mag-unwind sa bar. Hindi niya inakalang ang simpleng gabing ‘yon ay mauuwi sa isang mainit na encounter kasama ang isang estranghero—na hindi niya alam, ay ang bagong CEO ng Salvatore Holdings, kung saan siya nagtatrabaho bilang architect. Kinabukasan, halos himatayin siya sa gulat nang makaharap ang lalaki sa opisina—ang cold and ruthless CEO na ngayon ay boss niya. Pero hindi siya pinansin. Parang hindi siya kilala. Parang walang nangyari. Pagbalik niya sa ospital kung saan naka-confine ang ina niyang may sakit sa puso, dumating ang mas masakit na balita—wala na ito. Cardiac arrest. Gumuho ang mundo ni Kira. Wala na ang ina niya. Nabaon siya sa utang. At nanganganib pa silang mapalayas sa inuupahan nila ng kapatid niya. Desperada siyang humingi ng cash advance sa HR, pero tinanggihan. Wala na siyang ibang malapitan kundi ang taong ayaw na ayaw sana niyang lapitan—si Anthony Salvatore. Pero sa halip na tulong o sermon, isang kontrata ang inabot nito.

Hanggang kailan niya kailangang tanggapin na papel lang ang ginagampanan niya sa buhay ng lalaking unti-unti niyang minamahal?

When we were about to head to the amusement park, my Beta boyfriend, Drew, brought along a woman and her daughter. There happened to be one seat short in the car. Drew told me to get out and give my seat to the two of them. “Laura has a kid with her. Let them go first. I’ll come back for you later,” he said. I calmly stepped out and watched as the car slowly pulled away from the pack. Three hours later, they arrived at the amusement park for the fireworks and feast. When a friend asked Drew why he still hadn’t come back to get me, Drew was patiently helping Laura light a giant firework. He wasn’t in a rush at all and even said, “It’ll be fine if I pick Sienna up later. She won’t mind. I’ll coax her a bit, and she’ll stop being mad.” Anger only worked on people who cared about someone. My dad, mom, and brother never cared, and now, not even Drew cared anymore. It was time for me to leave for good.

The Sullivan brothers had always treated me like I was their whole world. That changed the day I was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor. The pain soon grew unbearable, and I was told I might lose my memories if I opted for surgery. I reached out to the brothers. I did not want to forget them, and I needed their help. However, when the call connected, the only thing I heard was an icy, sharp voice. "Summer, it's Yvonne's birthday today. Can you not ruin it for once?" I blacked out from the pain. When I woke up in the hospital, there was a message from Yvonne on my phone. "Summer, the boys gave me these lucky charms for protection." Attached was a photo of three silver pendants, each engraved with the brothers' initials. I knew those pendants well. I had spent seven hours in the freezing rain just to get them blessed. That was the moment I gave up. I went abroad alone for the surgery, and with it, all my memories of the brothers faded away. I completely forgot about them until one day, three strangers knocked on my door, begging like madmen for my forgiveness.
