When Gratitude Runs Out of Credit
Running Cloud
The laundromat I regularly visit has been showing an odd fluctuation in its price lately.
"This coat isn't easy to wash. We're probably the only store that's willing to clean this at a loss. The market price is 55 dollars per item, but I'll give you a discount and only ask for 200 dollars for four items."
I look at the boss' mother, who's new at the laundromat. I'm a little pissed. Still, I hand her my membership card without saying anything.
This laundromat is opposite my residential area, and they had a promotion during their opening. I topped up ten thousand dollars on the card because I pitied the owner for raising a child alone.
Unexpectedly, the owner's mother looks at me and says sarcastically, "That dumb membership card means nothing to me—you have to pay me in cash. You youngsters are too lazy to wash your clothes, yet you're more than willing to use your brains for nonsense like this. My son is too kind to let you take advantage of him like this."
I grab my clothes and leave. It's time to use my brain for some nonsense—I think the laundromat should have a new owner.

Ang kuwentong ito ay hindi angKop sa mga batang mambabasa.***
Since childhood, Astin Kier Hernandez has loved Laura Miller. But it was a one-sided love. Laura never had feelings for him. Still, he didn’t give up; he guarded her closely all through college.
Out of gratitude to his family, Laura agreed when he proposed in front of her parents. He knew she wouldn’t refuse because of gratitude to their family. He thought he was the happiest man that day. He was wrong.
Laura admitted she already had a boyfriend, Gael. But Astin didn’t allow the wedding plans to be canceled. Learning this, he rushed to set the wedding date.
On their wedding day, Laura didn’t show up, and that was his first heartbreak.
One-sided love is torture. For months, he disappeared from everyone’s radar, leaving behind his comfortable life. To forget, he joined the military, spending four years in training. After that, his team was deployed abroad on their first mission, which lasted longer than expected.
Eight years is a long time, so he returned to the Philippines.
He and Laura crossed paths once again. But he was no longer the Astin who was hopelessly in love with her. How many women had he left heartbroken whenever he was reassigned to a different place?
But how could he now avoid the woman who did nothing but apologise and try to win him over every day?
And how long could she endure his cold treatment?
Fated Rejection - Fated Claim

He finds great amusement in the fact that her ex-mate was such a fool, but he is thankful for it since she was given to him, and he will always praise the Moon Goddess for such a gift.
A prophecy, destiny, and supernatural forces are at play as Alpha Kade and Elle are forced to figure it all out before anything happens. Alpha Andrew is not a forgiving man and will stop at nothing to get her back. Can they figure out who their enemies are before it is too late? Can Alpha Kade protect his Luna?

Revenge Is Best Served Post-reincarnation
Evonne Shannon was a poor student mother sponsored. She was also the crush I had been courting for a long time.
Wanting to allow her to shine, I gave up my place in the piano competition for her. However, she glared at me with disdain for deciding this on my own. She then instantly turned around and handed the registration form to her boyfriend, Angelo Zambrano, and said, "Ange, only you deserve this competition."
Evonne liked sports cars, so I begged my mother to buy her a limited-edition McLaren supercar. But in return, Evonne mocked me and called me shallow. "Don't think I'll accept you just because I'm accepting the car, Chase Shannon. You've never understood me."
With my help, Evonne got to put on a facade of a mysterious billionaire's daughter. But the moment she got money from me, she turned around and went on a romantic getaway with Angelo.
I thought of Evonne as my everything and even asked my mother to arrange for her to join the family company. Within half a year, she was promoted to a core team member. She then conspired with Angelo to drain the company dry and even forced me to my death.
"What else can you do besides insult me with money and a materialistic lifestyle, Chase? You're the most disgusting obstacle on my path to success. Only when you're dead can I marry Ange," she declared.
I was heartbroken when I heard this, and that was when Evonne pushed me off the sidewalk and into traffic.
Immediately after that incident, I was reincarnated to the day I bought Evonne a piano. She was glaring at me with disdain. "If you don't want to buy it, just say so. There's no need to humiliate me like this."
I let out a dismissive scoff. "Am I the one who's humiliating you, or are you the shameless one? You beg for food but complain that it's cold. You're worse than those stray dogs on the streets. At least they show gratitude after getting scraps."
