20 Centimeters Txt

My mate, Luther Evans, had spent 20 thousand dollars on two first-class tickets for the Moonlight Express to Vespera Coast. Just as we were about to board, he pulled me aside and gave my seat to my foster sister, Zoey Turner. He explained, "There's only one empty seat left on the train, and Zoey's son has never seen the ocean before. This is the perfect chance. Kids can't be separated from their mothers, so I'll take them first and get them settled, then come back for you." I nodded and stepped off the train, watching it disappear into the distance. Once they reached the beach, a friend asked Luther why I hadn't come along. He was busy inflating a pool float for Zoey, answering casually without looking up. "The Moonlight Express runs every three days. Avery Smith can just buy her own ticket and come later. I'll pick up some gifts to make it up to her. She's really understanding and won't stay mad at me." A bitter smile tugged at the corners of my mouth. The whole family had always favored Zoey, and now even my own mate was no different. Since nobody wanted to see me anyway, I decided I would leave in three days.

룸메이트가 기숙사에서 넘어졌는데, 우리에게 계산서를 보내 우리보고 배상하라고 했다. “너희들이 문 앞에 물을 쏟아서 내가 넘어진 건데, 너희들이 배상하는 게 당연한 거 아니야?” “검사비, 병원비, 택시비, 수업 손실비, 위자료는 1인당 20만 원씩 주면 돼.” 나는 다른 두 룸메이트와 눈빛을 교환하고 나서 정중히 거절했다. 그랬더니 그 여자애가 소리를 지르며 협박했다. “우리 아빠가 누군지 알아? 너희들이 배상하지 않으면 졸업 못 하게 할 거야!”

Mi nombre es Arabella. Vendí 20 años de mi vida para convertirme en la asistente de un vampiro después de la muerte de mi padre para ayudar a mi familia. Debería haber tenido miedo de la sangre y los colmillos, pero en cambio, anhelo los toques de mi maestro. Lo que no sabía era que mi deseo por él solo me traería destrucción. *** "Sabes deliciosa." Él lame sus labios, acercándome más a él. El calor de su piel contra la mía y el ritmo calmante de su corazón latiendo me calman un poco. Relajo mis hombros y yago allí con mi cabeza en su pecho. "Ara, soy tu maestro y es mi responsabilidad mantenerte segura, pero hoy fallé." Sus palabras suenan sinceras, y realmente desearía poder creerle. Pero todos los vampiros son monstruos. Él solo resulta ser el monstruo en el que desearía poder confiar. «Mi amo vampiro: Un contrato de sangre y lujuria» es una creación de Angeline Hartwood, una autora de eGlobal Creative Publishing.

Jenine Ysabelle Guevarra, a simple Senior High School teacher at De La Salle University, had a conservative and old-fashioned approach to life. This led to her first boyfriend leaving her for a wealthy, sexy, and liberated woman. Since then, Jenine had become aloof with men and hadn't found a boyfriend until she reached the age of 32. For her, it was better to stay single than to get hurt again. Fate, however, had other plans. Jenine was assigned to teach the worst ABM section, where she met Huxley Baltimore, the younger brother of the man who had broken her heart. Huxley was handsome, rich, arrogant, rebellious, and a troublemaker, feared by everyone. At 20 years old, he hadn't finished Senior High because he kept dropping out of school. Even with his antics, he couldn't be expelled from the university because his family owned it. From the very first day in Huxley's class, Jenine experienced the headaches of unruly and noisy students. This was a tremendous challenge to her profession, and she wouldn't give up until she tamed these spoiled brats. However, Huxley challenged not just her profession but also her heart, manipulating her for his own game to get her fired from the university. Jenine was about to be kicked out, but Huxley intervened, saying, "I'd rather be expelled from here than lose such an outstanding teacher."

In my previous life, everything I do to care for myself somehow ends up benefiting my new housekeeper instead. I apply expensive skincare, yet dark spots and fine lines spread across my face, whereas the 45-year-old housekeeper's face becomes silkier. I jog every morning, yet my body only grows heavier and bulkier, while hers becomes slender and toned. When my husband notices the stretch marks on my abdomen, his face twists with disgust, and he never touches me again. "I genuinely can't bring myself to touch you. How can you look worse than Mirabelle when you take such good care of yourself?" My housekeeper looks at me with a sinister smile. A chill crawls up my spine, and the strange feeling makes me fire her on the spot. Yet, as soon as she leaves, I start aging at lightning speed, entering menopause 20 years early and developing diabetes and high blood pressure. I see every doctor I can, but after hanging on for a week, I die from a stroke. When I open my eyes again, I'm back on the day she first reports to work. This time, I push away the royal jelly she sets in front of me with a pleasant smile. "I've been avoiding certain foods lately. You can have it instead."

When my colleagues find out that I'm pretty good at cooking, they start organizing dinners at my place. Lucy Holt, one of the junior accountants, suggests that we split the groceries evenly between us. As a result, I don't think I can reject their request without being rude. On my last day of work, the group gathers at my place for one last meal. "You're such a good cook, Jess! We'll all be transferring you 500 dollars later. It's just a token of our appreciation," Lucy declares with a bright smile. But the very next day, she sends me a message. "Hey, Jess. You know it's illegal to operate an unlicensed catering business from your home, right? Your house will get sealed off for further investigation. More importantly, the value of goods has passed the threshold of 10,000 dollars, which means the fine you'll have to pay is probably going to be about 20 times that amount. "Since we worked together, we decided not to report you to the authorities. We'll just settle this matter privately. All you have to do is give us the fine you would've had to pay instead." This is how I realized that, combined with yesterday's meal, the total amount they've given me for groceries thus far is exactly 10,001 dollars.

Yaroslav “Viktorovich” Demidov: 25, of Russian descent, the second heir of the Demidov Family. Stoic, disciplined-well too much, perfectionist, hot headed and uptight. Hides vulnerability within that hard exterior of his. The only one in his family who has no magic because of an incident that happened when he was 4 years of age. Soul-bonded to Lian and actually holds the rarest and most powerful but dangerous power of all. Lian MAteo Alonzo-Kensington: 20, Filipino-British American, from the nurturing but competitive Kensington Family. Confident, expressive, sometimes impulsive kind of vulgar but well disciplined not in an uptight way. Has magical abilities, the rare dual type ability holders, ice and wind. His warmth clashes with Yaroslav and is soul-bonded with him therefore can also wield the other rarest and most powerful magic. Can two opposing hearts on ice bound by a soul-bond survive the weight of legacy, pressures of the competition and the dangerous pull of love and desire, when the bond that they believed to be a curse demands that one must lose his life for the other to live? For even every clash of skates, every stolen glances across the rink, every searing touch and mind-numbing kiss when they met in secret seems to burn the ice ablaze as the hatred blurs into hunger that draws them closer to a collision that could destroy or bind them for eternity. “Fuck Kensington, then I’ll risk everything, suffer everything….for one thing that matters…..You.” -Yaroslav Demidov
