Frio(a) / Insensível

Kapayapaan ang hinahangad ng lahat ng tao sa mundo kabilang na s'ya. Ngunit paano kung isang araw ay bigla na lamang mawala sa kan'ya ang inaasam na kalayaan dahil sa isang babae na nagnakaw nito sa kan'ya. Paano n'ya ito iiwasan kung may isang anghel ang nag-uugnay sa kanila? Paano n'ya tatalikuran ang kanilang anak na kahit saang anggulo tingnan ay kamukhang-kamukha n'ya? Paano n'ya haharapin ang bukas ng maayos at masaya kung puno ng poot at galit ang kan'yang puso? Matutunan n'ya kayang mahalin ang babaeng ipinakasal sa kan'ya ng mga magulang?

Trust is earned, respect is given, and loyalty is demonstrated. Betrayal of any one of those is to lose all three. Betrayal annihilates trust. Trust no one! Ito ang kinalakhan n'yang paniniwala dahil sa mapanganib na mundo na mayroon ang kanilang pamilya. Ngunit paano kung sa isang iglap ay nasira n'ya ang paniniwalang ito dahil sa isang lalaki na s'yang unang nagpatibok ng kan'yang puso at pinagkatiwalaan n'ya. At paano kung ang kauna-unahang tao na pinagkatiwalaan n'ya ay lolokohin lang pala at tatraidorin s'ya? Saan s'ya dadalhin ng sakit na dulot ng pagtraidor nito sa kan'ya?

Três meses antes do divórcio, ela protocolou o pedido de transferência no trabalho. Um mês antes do divórcio, enviou os papéis de divórcio para o Ricardo pelo correio. Nos últimos três dias antes do divórcio, arrumou todas as suas coisas e se mudou da casa onde viveram juntos. ... Seis anos de relacionamento chegaram ao fim no momento em que Ricardo apareceu na frente dela com sua paixão antiga e o filho dela, deixando a criança chamá-lo de "papai". Foi aí que ela caiu na real. Já que ele sempre a fez engolir sapo e se humilhar por causa daquela mulher e do filho dela, como se ela fosse a amante que tinha que se esconder nas sombras, então que fosse. Ela ia acabar com esse casamento de uma vez e deixar o caminho livre para ele ficar com o amor da vida dele. Mas quando ela realmente sumiu do mundo dele, o cara pirou de vez. Ela achava que o Ricardo finalmente ia conseguir se casar com a mulher que sempre amou, mas não fazia ideia de que esse homem poderoso ia aparecer na televisão, de olhos vermelhos, implorando como um coitado pelo amor dela: — Eu não traí e muito menos tenho filho por aí. Eu só tenho uma esposa que não me quer mais. O nome dela é Luana, e eu estou morrendo de saudade dela!

No primeiro ano do nosso casamento, Augusto Moretti, meu marido perfeito aos olhos de todos, começou a mudar. Ele se afastou de mim, tornando-se frio e distante. De repente, ele parecia ter feito um voto de castidade: mandou construir uma pequena capela na mansão e não largava mais o rosário. Eu tentei de tudo para reacender a nossa relação. Mas, por mais que eu o provocasse, ele permanecia indiferente, como se eu fosse invisível. Até que, em uma noite, o flagrei através de uma fresta na porta do banheiro. Ele estava se entregando à paixão… Mas não por mim. Ele olhava fixamente para a foto de outra mulher. Foi nesse momento que percebi: ele não era frio, ele apenas não tinha sentimentos por mim. Decidi virar o jogo. Enganei Augusto para que assinasse o acordo do divórcio e desapareci completamente da vida dele. Mas, ironicamente, depois que sumi, ele enlouqueceu tentando me encontrar. Quando nos reencontramos, foi no casamento do tio dele. Eu vestia um vestido de noiva branco, e ele, com os olhos vermelhos de raiva, não conseguia de jeito nenhum me chamar de "tia"!

“Why can’t I hit you?” Thomas yells, smacking the belt close to her feet. “Why,” he smacks it on the door above her head. “Why, why” to the right and left sides of her body. Melina trembles against the door with her eyes closed and head tucked between her knees. She jumps, sniffing Thomas’ cologne, and tries to hide more. He’s probably bending down. “I want to hurt you, Melina, but I can’t. Tell me why I can’t. Tell me why,” she bites her lips to muffle her sobs as she fears they will exacerbate her situation. “ look at me when I am talking to you,” Thomas says, grabbing her hair and pulling her head up. “I am- so-r-r-r-y,” she says as she turns to face him with her tear-stained face and bloodshot eyes. ******** Melina Davis was born with the face and body of a goddess.

He smirked, knowing he was on the winning side. "So it's a done deal for three months?" He raised his eyebrows, putting his hand forth for a handshake. I looked at the long fingers and perfectly aligned nails and then at his patient face. Sighing to myself I my own hand into his and ignored the tingles that flowed through every nerve as his fingers curled around my hand and shook it lightly. "Yeah three months." "Goodnight then." He winked, removing his hand from mine and turned to walk away. "Hey wait!" I called out, suddenly remembering something. "You don't have my number." "What makes you think that? I have my ways Smith." And with one last wink I saw him take a turn and disappear from my sight. I let out a long breath, leaning on the nearby wall. Looks like I just made a deal with the Devil. * A sarcastic girl, a cocky guy.

Just a few days before my wedding, I accidentally come across a post while scrolling online. The title reads, "To the guy getting married in this city, your fiancée's already cheated on you." Curious, I click in to see the gossip, only to realize I'm the one being talked about. A deep male voice plays in the video. "I heard you're getting married?" The woman in the frame, bare-backed and trembling, chokes back a sob. "After you left, I realized you're still the one I love most. I'm done with him. Take me away, please!" The moment I hear her voice, it feels like someone punches me straight in the chest. Then I notice something on her wrist—the luxury couple's bracelet I gave her just yesterday. And in that instant, I feel like the biggest joke of all. Turns out the fool was me.

Ken has always hated who he is: a half-vampire. His guardian, Allen, encourages the young man to embrace the darkness within. Vampires can’t help but feed on humans. Why fight something that’s a part of you? Ken knows that behind Allen’s charismatic demeanor lies a monster. He also realizes that every step he takes into the world of blood and brutality moves him further away from love and humanity. Ken has managed to carve half a life for himself by refusing to give in to his temptations, but that all changes when he meets Teya. Teya is a lonely college student who is recovering from a painful breakup. After she witnesses several vampires savagely murder her roommate at a frat party, she finds herself in grave danger. She has information that vampires would kill to keep secret and that vampire hunters would just plain kill to keep. Ken vows to protect Teya but begins breaking his own rules as he grows closer to her. Ken has always believed he can never be with a woman due to his nature, but Teya just might inspire him to start thinking differently about his identity and his future.
