Marriage for Granted
Sunflower
Dahil sa utang na loob ni Solemn sa pamilyang umampon sa kaniya ay pumayag siyang magpakasal sa lalaking hindi niya pa nakikilala. Gayun pa man ay pumayag siyang ipakasal upang makabawi sa pamilyang umampon, nag-aruga at nagmahal sa kaniya. Gusto mang umayaw ng kaniya isipan ngunit ang kaniyang puso ay nakakaramdam ng kilig at pananabik. Kahit na gano'n ay hinayaan niya lang hanggang sa nakita niya ang lalaking papakasalan at nasabi niya lang sa kaniyang sarili "Gagampanan ko ang responsibilidad bilang asawa niya pero hindi ibig sabihin no'n pag-aari ko na siya. Magiging isa kami ngunit magiging malayang ibon pa rin siya. Gagawin niya ang kaniyang gusto at ako ay may limitasyon na, 'di na katulad ng isang malayang paru-paro. Pagsisilbihan ko siya upamg hindi mapahiya ang pamilyang nagpalaki at nag-aruga sa akin sa loob ng dalawang put apat na taon. This is my way of paying my debt of gratitude to their sacrifices and cared for me."
TAKE ME FOR GRANTED
It's crazy to give someone your heart, and in return get treated like crap.
Mahirap. Masakit. Nakakaloko…
To love someone who can't love you back.
Yung ginawa mo siyang mundo, habang ikaw isang orbit lang para sa kaniya.
Ikaw na laging available para sa kaniya, habang siya walang oras para sa’yo.
Hanggang kalian ka magtitiis sa relasyong ikaw lang ang totoong umiibig?
Kaya mo bang manatili sa piling niya… kahit alam mong ginagamit ka lang niya dahil alam niyang mahal mo siya?
A love story that started from the complicated past of their parents.
Could they prove that love wins after all?

Taking the Blame
Bridges and Running Water
My parents’ adoptive daughter took three kids hiking with her, and they ended up dead. They wanted me to take the blame for her.
My father forced me to kneel before the families of the victims and crushed my calf with his hiking pole. “These were the legs she used to take your kids hiking. I’ll make sure she never gets to hike again.”
My mother legally disowned me. “Jenny will be breaking hiking records one day. I won’t let anyone bring up her shameful sister when that happens! She’s sacrificed so much for you all these years, and it’s time you paid her back.”
My boyfriend promised me, “Jenny has nothing. She would not survive if she had to endure all this, but at least you have me. I’ll be here for you no matter what happens. They’re just angry, but they won’t send you to jail. You can come home once everything settles down.”
To defend the reputation of my adoptive sister, he and my parents worked together to falsify evidence and send me to jail.
“It’s to protect you,” they promised, “so the families don’t take revenge on you.”
They did not know I had already given up on them.

Things You Need
Crystal Lake Publishing
10 The things we want are so very rarely the things we need.
Clifton Heights, a modest Adirondack town, offers many unique attractions. Arcane Delights sells both paperbacks and hard-to-find limited editions. The Skylark Diner serves the best home-cooked meals around, with friendly service and a smile. Every August, Mr. Jingo’s County Fair visits, to the delight of children and adults. In essence, Clifton Heights is the quintessential small American town. Everyone knows everyone else, and everyone is treated like family. It is quiet, simple, and peaceful.
But shadows linger here. Flitting in dark corners, from the corner of the eye. If you walk down Main Street after dark, the slight scrape of shoes on asphalt whispers you're not alone, but when you look over your shoulder, no one is there. The moon shines high and bright in the night sky, but instead of throwing light, it only seems to make the shadows lengthen.
Children disappear. Teens run away. Hunters get lost in the woods with frightening regularity. Husbands go mad, and wives vanish in the dead of night. And still, when the sun rises in the morning, you are greeted by townspeople with warm waves and friendly smiles, and the shivers pass as everything seems fresh and new...
Until night falls once more.
Handy's Pawn and Thrift sits several blocks down from Arcane Delights. Like any thrift store, its wares range from the mundane to the bizarre. By daylight, it seems just another slice of small town Americana. But in its window hangs a sign which reads: We Have Things You Need. And when a lonely traveling salesman comes looking for something he desperately wants, after normal visiting hours, after night has fallen, he will face a harsh truth among the shelves of Handy’s Pawn and Thrift: the things we want are rarely the things we need.

All Things For Our Best Life
Ruby Redhat
Jada prayed and asked God to provide a miracle that would be a solution to her family’s problems. They had always been poor, but this was the worst situation they had ever been in. Her father had to be taken to the hospital two weeks ago, and she had become the sole provider for their home. Marilou had given them what money she had that she could to help, but she wasn’t exactly rolling in money herself.
The young girl had a huge responsibility placed upon her shoulders, but she was determined not to lose their home or have the children sent to foster care. She had been waiting tables and using her tips to buy gas and groceries, but it was barely enough most days. Her paycheck had not been enough to pay all the bills since her father had let them get so far behind.
Mrs. DeRoya cleared her throat, signaling that she would answer the girl. “Miss Pence, I only had one child, my son Brayden here. My husband was also an only child. So, unless Brayden produces an heir, our bloodline here in the United States is lost. What we need is a surrogate to carry the child. If you sign the contract, when the child is born you will receive one million dollars to take your siblings and go have a good life,” she said, staring at her without emotion.
Where Wild Things Roam
"Darby.” My name comes out as a low snarl and I struggle to think. “I'm afraid you have me at a disadvantage, Alpha.”"That's how I like you.” This almost purrs. He shifts his weight to the thigh between mine, brushing against my clit and I tremble as agonizing pleasure spirals through me. His nostrils flare with his next breath and the purr is a low sensual growl. “The better to see to every pleasurable need you have.”Big bad devilishly sexy wolf. Oh shit.
Taking Back My Love
After years of bullying me and even causing my grandmother's death, Jenna Sanders has finally had her life torn apart by Raymond Campbell.
She can no longer hurt me, and I slowly move past my trauma with Raymond's guidance and help.
I think it's finally time for me to be happy when I overhear his conversation with his friend.
"You and Xyla are going to get married soon. When are you going to break things off with Jenna?"
Raymond sounds disdainful. "She's nothing but something for me to pass the time! She's so evil that merely ruining her life isn't enough. I want her to be my filthy plaything and wish she were dead. That's my punishment for her!"
His eyes gleam with anger and hatred toward Jenna, but my hand falls to my side. I no longer want to open the door, and my blood runs cold.
The love I thought was pure turns out to be tainted by filth and cruelty. If that's all it is, I don't want it anymore.
Thanks for Taking Out the Trash
This Thanksgiving, Elmer Fuller finally agrees to go on a trip with me.
But when I wake up in the hotel, I don't see him anywhere.
I spend the entire day desperately searching for him, only to stumble across a social media post from his first love.
It's a selfie of her and Elmer having a cozy family dinner with her parents. The caption reads, "Someone's finally meeting the parents on Thanksgiving night. Mom and Dad can stop pressuring me to get married now!"
Around her neck is the scarf my mother knitted for me before she passed.
I left a comment. "Stop using my things to flirt with my husband. Take the scarf off—you can have him."
Not long after, she posts an update.
The scarf is shredded into pieces and tossed into a dog bed, with the caption, "What trash—too filthy even for a dog!"
Elmer likes the post.
