"I was supposed to Stay Gone." ...He married me. He gave me a diamond ring with sweet words… and a lie. I thought it was love. But I was just holding her place. The woman whose lies he believed.

“Who would have thought goody two shoes Tatiana Olivera is a nasty sl*t who fantasies about f*ck*ng her step brother?” Hasan continues his teasing. He inserts in middle finger in my mouth and I greedily s*ck on it, picturing it to be his c*ck. Hasan’s mouth parts open, his brows cresting as he watches me s*ck his middle finger like a kid sucking on a candy cane. I frowned when he pulled out his middle finger. He grabs my chin with a fierceness that sent me on edge. “Open your mouth.” He orders and I obey. He takes in a deep breath as though calming himself and before I knew it, hot liquid drops into my mouth. Did.. did he just spit in my mouth? It tastes divine. It tastes like him. And I want more. “Swallow.” I meet his gaze as I gulp down his saliva. A proud smile appears on his face. “There’s my good little sl*t.” ***** I hate Hasan Olivera. I can’t stand him.

And those eyes? Dark, knowing, endlessly amused by the fact that, no matter how much I pretend otherwise, I’m completely drawn to him. I want him to f*ck me. I want him to claim me. I want him to be mine because I belong to him. But he's my step brother. And I hate my step brother. -------

Paano mo ipaglalaban ang pagmamahal na minsan mo nang sinukuan? Lucky swore she’d never look back. Matapos ang isang mapait na hiwalayan, pinili niyang bumuo ng tahimik na buhay kasama ang anak niya—malayo kay Axel, ang lalaking minsan niyang minahal, pero siya ring dahilan ng pinakamalaking sakit niya. Pero sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon, muling nagkrus ang landas nila, at ngayon, hindi na lang puso niya ang nakataya—pati na rin ang buhay nilang mag-ina. Sa kabila ng galit at sakit, napilitan siyang tanggapin ang proteksyon ni Axel. Pero paano kung sa bawat araw na kasama niya ito, unti-unting mabura ang poot at bumalik ang damdaming pilit niyang nilabanan? Lalo na nang matuklasan niyang hindi pala siya kailanman iniwan nito—sa lihim na paraan, Axel had been protecting her all along. Ngunit bago pa niya mas maunawaan ang lahat, isang trahedya ang muling yumanig sa buhay niya—isang pagkakamali, isang maling akala, at isang pagdukot na naglagay sa kanya sa bingit ng kamatayan. At sa gitna ng panganib, nakita niya ang isang Axel na handang isakripisyo ang lahat, kahit ang sariling buhay, para mailigtas siya. Ngayon, hawak niya ang pinakamahalagang tanong—bibitawan ba niya ulit ang lalaking hindi kailanman bumitaw sa kanya? Sa isang mundo ng lihim, galit, at pagsubok, kaya pa ba nilang ipaglaban ang pag-ibig na minsan nang nawala? O masyado nang huli ang lahat?

夫は、私を愛していない。娘のことも、もっと愛していない。 娘が生まれてから、もう六年が経つ。それなのに、夫は一度も娘を抱きしめたことがない。 医者は言った。彼は「感情障害」だと。ただ、人並みに愛し方を知らないだけだと。 けれど、あの人——彼の初恋の人が戻ってきた日、夫は珍しく、私たちに微笑みかけたのだった。 そして、信じられないことに、娘にプレゼントまで買って帰ってきた。 私は、やっと心を開いてくれたのだと思った。これから少しずつ、父親になってくれるのだと。 そう思っていた。 でも—— その夜、娘と一緒に見てしまった。夫のスマホのロック画面に設定された写真を。 画面に映っていたのは、満面の笑みを浮かべた夫。片腕には前歯の抜けた女の子を抱え、もう片方の手では、彼の初恋の手をしっかりと握っていた。 娘は、そっと私の手を握りしめた。潤んだ瞳が、何かを訴えるように震えていた。 「ママ……もう、出て行こうか？でも……パパに、あと三回だけチャンスをあげてもいい？」 「その三回で、パパがやっぱり私たちを選んでくれなかったら……そしたら、一緒に行こうね」
