A Thousand More Years

Niloko at pinagtaksilan si Valerie ng kanyang boyfriend na si Ivan matapos niyang maipagkaloob nito ang kanyang pagkababae. Sa kanyang hangaring makaganti, pumayag siya sa isang kasunduan kapalit ng malaking halaga. Magiging bride siya pero hindi magiging asawa ni Lester Montefalcon, isang gwapo ngunit suplado at mayabang na anak ng isang mayamang may-ari ng malaking pabrika. Pareho nilang inaayawan at kinaiinisan ang bawat isa. "Hindi ikaw Valerie ang tipo kong babae kaya huwag kang umasa! Gawin mo ang nasa kontrata". "Hindi ikaw Lester ang lalaking pangarap ko at kahit ikaw na lang ang natitira sa mundo, hinding-hindi pa rin ako magkakagusto sa iyo!" Ngunit mapanindiganan kaya nila ito kung nagdulot ng kakaibang sensasyon ang kanilang bangayan? Paano kung muling magbabalik ang dating nobyo ni Valerie at desidido itong bawiin siya? Alin ang mas matimbang sa puso niya, ang lalaking hindi niya kayang kalimutan o ang taong ayaw niyang pakawalan?

On the day the privileged heiress, Olivia Cruz, and I register our marriage, she leaves me and Mom stranded on a deserted road before running off to her childhood sweetheart, Brad McCoy. Rage triggers Mom's cardiac arrest, so I call Olivia in anxiety, begging her to come back and save Mom. But she just says a cold line before ending the call, "Not this again. Every time I have to step away, your mom suddenly has heart pain. Your family sure knows how to put on a show, huh?" With that, Mom misses her chance at rescue and dies. That night, a mutual friend posts online. "Growing up together is a whole different kind of bond!" The post shows Olivia perched on Brad's lap with his hand resting on her waist. It's the perfect picture of intimacy that leaves little to the imagination. I expressionlessly tap on the like button before typing my comment. "Is this what you meant by 'something important'?" The friend sneers. "Relax, it's just a game of Truth or Dare. I can't believe you're taking it so seriously." Olivia doesn't even bother to explain, but when I walk away without a word, she finally panics.

Isang simpling pamumuhay ang mayroon s'ya ngunit nagulo ang lahat ng biglang dumating sa buhay n'ya ang isang lalaki at sapilitan s'yang kinuha para dalhin sa bahay nito. Gusto n'yang tumanggi ngunit paano n'ya gagawin iyon kung nakakawala sa huwisyo ang kagwapohang taglay nito. Kaya n'ya kayang labanan ang taglay nitong karisma kung sa umpisa pa lang ay parang hinihigop na ng mga mata nito ang kan'yang buong kaluluwa? Paano kung sa pagsama n'ya rito ay may matutuklasan s'ya tungkol sa kan'yang pagkatao? Ano ang mestiryo na dala ng lalaki na kumuha sa kan'ya? Kakayanin n'ya kaya ang kan'yang matutuklasan?

"It's nothing," "Show me." Egon sounded angry, "Take it off." He ordered, "Take everything off," "W-what?" I panicked, "No!" "Do it yourself, or I'll do it for you." *** Portia is a defective werewolf who is stuck working as a maid in the pack house, where she is often abused. She neither has the money nor the resources to escape, but her world further collapses when she meets her Lycan mate.

I died with blood on my hands and betrayal in my heart. My husband didn't love me. My sister didn't respect me. And when I tried to expose them, they let me fall straight into a shattered glass table that ended my life. But I woke up a year earlier, with my voice restored and a second chance I didn't ask for. This time, I won't be the silent, obedient girl they walked all over. This time, I'll play their game better than they ever could. And when a billionaire offers me a deal I can't refuse, a fake marriage in exchange for saving his empire, I take it. They think I'm still that broken, voiceless woman. They have no idea what's coming.

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.

On the day Fiona Starr and Mark Zimmer tied the knot, his childhood friend jumped off the Starr family's thirty-story apartment and was reduced to pieces. The wedding wasn't called off, but in the ensuing three years, Mark's poker face became even more creepy, even though he would do everything Fiona asked. Then, when Fiona was three months pregnant, she was told that her father had gone missing. But instead of taking her to file a police report, Mark took her up the peak of the mountain, where Fiona saw her father. His whole body was swollen and bleeding everywhere, and he was barely alive as he lay on the ground. There were puddles of his blood everywhere, after someone tied him to a car trunk and dragged him up along the mountain road. That was when Mark gave Fiona the same treatment, even though she was pregnant with his child. As his car dragged her up and down the mountain, her legs were reduced to bloody stumps, but she didn't die there. So she locked her up in a basement in the company of rats that nibbled and devoured her legs. She despaired, her mind breaking until she eventually stopped breathing too… But she opened her eyes again and found herself returning to the day before she married Mark, whom everyone called the Starr family's live-in son-in-law. Smiling through her tears, she told herself that she wouldn't choose him again in this life.

Isabella Jennings thought she had married an ordinary man. Yet, one day, she discovered that he was the CEO of the very company she worked for. But what amazed her even more was discovering another of his hidden identities. He was the mysterious heir to the Grand Group, the most affluent behemoth in Astraea! To the world, he was a decisive, ruthless king of his business empire. Behind closed doors, he would do whatever Isabella said, treating her like his queen...

Já se somavam cinco anos de casamento com Dante Moretti, o Don da máfia de Chicago. O submundo inteiro sabia que ele me amava mais do que a própria vida. Ele tinha tatuado um violino em minha homenagem bem ao lado do brasão de sua família, um símbolo de lealdade que jamais poderia ser apagado. Até eu receber a foto de sua amante. Uma garçonete de bar, estirada nua em seus braços, a pele marcada por hematomas escuros que eram resultado de uma noite de sexo bruto. Ela havia rabiscado o próprio nome bem ao lado do violino que ele fizera para mim. E meu marido havia permitido. [Dante diz que só estando dentro de mim ele se sente homem de verdade. Você nem consegue mais deixá-lo duro, não é mesmo, querida Alessia? Talvez seja hora de sair de cena.] Eu não respondi. Apenas fiz um único telefonema. — Preciso de uma nova identidade. E de uma passagem de avião para fora daqui.
