Parcial / Egoísta

Elena Shaw is the wife of Henry Leone, the current head of the Monraven-based Mafia family in Newshire. She has been married to him for two years, but he has never once slept with her. Late one night, she inadvertently sees Henry relieving his desires while listening to a woman's voice. The voice belonged to Irene Shaw, her adopted younger sister and Henry's ex-fiancee. The year Elena turned 18, a DNA report changed both hers and Irene's fates. Elena is the real heir of the Shaw family, who had been taken at a young age and discarded abroad in Etolia. Meanwhile, Irene is the one who has taken her place in the Shaw family, receiving all of the love and glory that should've belonged to Elena. When Elena is brought back to the Shaw family, she replaces Irene as Henry's fiancee. However, Henry only marries her to take revenge against her for "ruining Irene's life". Even the fact that he had once saved her life turns out to be part of an elaborate lie. After learning the truth, Elena doesn't hesitate to leave. Once she disappears from Henry's world, the usually calm and collected Henry loses his mind.

Na festa, minha filha levantou de propósito uma pergunta para o meu marido. — Papai, já que a Srta. Lloyd está grávida do seu bebê, isso quer dizer que vamos morar com ela no futuro? Ele coloca o bife cortado com cuidado no meu prato e responde suavemente: — Sua mamãe e eu fizemos um acordo — quem trair primeiro desaparecerá da vida do outro. Eu não posso deixar isso acontecer, querida, então isso precisa permanecer em segredo. Mesmo quando o bebê nascer, eu nunca vou deixar a mamãe descobrir sobre eles. Em seguida, ele faz um sinal para mim: — Eu sempre vou te amar. Meus olhos ficaram marejados mas ele não percebeu. Mal sabe ele que minha audição foi restaurada há uma semana. Ele também não sabe que eu já descobri a amante que ele vinha escondendo. E muito menos imagina que eu comprei secretamente uma passagem para atuar como professora voluntária no Planalto de Seru. Tudo o que preciso fazer agora é esperar sete dias até a papelada ser aprovada. Então, eu vou desaparecer da vida dele para sempre.

Soy la protagonista de una historia erótica. ¿Mi especialidad? Convertir lo que está frío o tibio en algo que siempre arde... y moja a mares. El primer día que llegué a un juego de terror, el BOSS les dijo a todos que eligieran cómo querían morir. Sonreí y, sin dudarlo ni un segundo, respondí: —Yo elijo por falta de aire, con las piernas temblando, los ojos brillando... y un placer tan intenso que me mate de puro gusto. BOSS: ¿Qué diablos...?

Lo primero que hice al regresar a la gala para elegir esposa fue intercambiar en secreto mi tarjeta numerada de candidata por la de mi hermana adoptiva. Cuando Fernando Romero tomó el ramo con el número de Lucía Benítez, se le desbordó la alegría en los ojos. Le sostuvo la mano y, solemne, le juró una vida entera. —Lucía, serás la única mujer de mi vida. Luego se volvió hacia mí y, de golpe, se le heló la mirada. —Siempre te vi como a una hermana. No intentes ocupar el lugar de Lucía. Aquel aviso frío me atravesó el pecho. Las habladurías me devoraron otra vez, igual que en mi vida pasada. Todos se burlaban de mí, la “arrastrada” de Fernando. Diez años detrás de él con el corazón en la mano… y el hombre terminó enamorado de la supuesta heredera, mi hermana adoptiva.

Si Pilley "Piper" Perouzé Roshan, isang sikat na artista. Kaisa-isang anak ng gobernador ng kanilang bayan na si Don Emilio Roshan at ni Donya Leonora Roshan na dating sikat na aktres. Masasabing mayaman sila dahil bukod sa dating artista ang kanyang ina at gobernador ang kanyang ama ay marami silang lupang sakahan na ang iba ay kino-kombertido upang maging subdibisyon. Ngunit may hindi alam si Piper kung paanong natamasa nila ang gantong karangyaan. Papayag ba siyang ipagpalit ang kanyang karangyaan upang makamit ang tunay nitong pag ibig? Makakaya niya bang ipaglaban ang pag ibig na magkukubli sa nakatagong katotohanan? O, titiisin niya na lamang ito alang-ala sa mabangong pangalan ng kanyang pamilya? Mananahimik na lamang siya para ikakabuti ng kanyang pinakamamahal ngunit ang kapalit nito ay ang patuloy na paghihirap ng nakakarami? Ano nga ba ang dapat niyang gawin? Sundin ang prinsipyo ng kanyang pamilya o sundin ang sariling prinsipyo niya at ang kanyang puso?

On the night of my 30th birthday, I waited until the early hours of the morning, but my husband, Theodore Hawk never showed up. Instead, I came across an Instagram post from his childhood sweetheart, Emily Gallagher. [What romantic is not the starry night, it is having you by my side.] In the picture, she was wearing a delicate, sky-blue camisole that revealed just enough to charm and seduce. A man stood close behind her, his hand firmly gripping her waist. The scene was set in the seaside villa that Theodore had gifted her, their figures intimately entwined under the soft glow of the night. Someone had commented beneath the post: [I can’t stand you two being this lovey-dovey all the time! Just get married already!] Emily had responded with a shy-face emoji. I had just liked the post when Theodore, who I had failed to reach all night, blew up my phone with calls. "Are you out of your mind, Camilla? Emi and I grew up together! If we wanted to be together, we would’ve done so long ago! Why are you being so petty?" Looking at how Theodore gently held her in his arms, comforting her, I realized something. Letting go of someone you’ve loved for seven years... can take only a moment.

Her family is Chinese, and they are highly traditional when it comes to marriage. Syrhane has never dated anyone because she knows her parents will pick a guy for her in the end. She was frightened of falling in love, of getting hurt, and of hurting the person she cared about. Syrhane Ong's buddy and classmate, Soren Gonzales.

Soren made a wish for the two of them, hoping that the stars would align in their favor. He wants to love Syrhane, but he knew it would be impossible due to their disparities in their current circumstances. They've been waiting for each other to cross their paths again as time passes, and time will bring them back together.

Blurb: One Night Stand “Kau sungguh bajingan, Victor!” Desis Mary, menatap pria bernama Victor itu dengan mata yang dipenuhi air mata. “Kau memperkosaku! Kau merenggut sesuatu yang bukan milikmu, keparat! Aku benci padamu!” Bibirnya bergetar saat melontarkan kalimat tersebut, sementara tangannya erat menahan selimut untuk menutupi tubuhnya yang polos, tanpa sehelai benang pun. *** Mary Popiens adalah seorang bartender di sebuah klub malam ternama di kota London.
