Afro Taper Fade

Para kay Margarette Martha Graciano, tama nang minsang nabaliw siya para sa pag-ibig. Tumigil ang mundo niya para sa pagmamahal na ngayo'y pinaniniwalaan niyang hindi para sa kaniya. Kinalimutan niya na ang batang puso, ang batang puso na umibig nang husto sa lalaking unti-unti niya nang kinalimutan. Ngunit sa pagbabalik sa lugar kung saan nais niyang lumagay na sa tahimik, ay siya ring pagbabalik ng taong takot siyang sirain ulit ang mga pader na matayog niyang itinayo para sa kaniyang sarili. Timothy Ian Lawrenceville, Margarette's greatest first love, heartbreak, and her biggest downfall. Kailanganmay hindi na niya lilingunin ang lalaki. Ngunit hinding-hindi na nga ba babalik pa kung may malaking sugat na naiwan sa mga puso nila? Paano kung ang pag-ibig na mismong gustong kalimutan ay may marka ng kahapong patuloy na bitbit ni Margarette. Ang kanilang anak, ang batang inalagaan niya ng ilang taon, pinuno ng pagmamahal at aruga ay nagnanais din ng kalinga ng isang amang ipinagkait ni Margarette rito dahil sa kaniyang poot dahil sa paniniwalang nagtaksil ang lalaki sa kaniya. Wala nga ba talagang pangalawang pag-ibig at pagkakataon, o sadyang hindi naman talaga ito nakalimutan kahit lumipas ang panahon. It marked, a mark that would not fade easily. A Mark that lasts forever.

Yet, as longing and unforeseen feelings intertwine, the distinctions fade, leading her to doubt everything,most notably Jason. Next, the bomb falls. The marriage license that Jason provided her?

Once again betrayed, Ximena is ensnared in a perilous rivalry between two siblings—one who broke her heart and the other who could damage it irreparably. As secrets come to light and the past resurfaces, Ximena faces a choice: strive for her own joy or leave the Hansen brothers behind for good

Someone pushes me off a cliff when I'm eight months pregnant before taking their life on the spot. Meanwhile, blood pools underneath me as I'm rushed to the hospital. As despair washes over me, I hear Jacob Langley's voice come from outside my hospital ward. "Are you sure it'll work this time?" "Yes, Mr. Langley. Mrs. Langley has taken good care of herself during her pregnancy, but the branch pierced her belly. There's no chance of the baby surviving this, and she won't ever be able to conceive again." "Good. Make sure the culprit's family has been sent away. I won't let anything go wrong before the Adkins agree to adopt Clara." "Yes, sir. Still… why did you need to push Mrs. Langley off a cliff if you wanted to adopt Ms. Jennings' daughter? Mrs. Langley is kind; I'm sure she would've treated the child well." Jacob snorts. "What do you know? Why would Selene agree to adopt Clara if she had her own child? She'll only treat Clara as her own once she can't have children and leave everything she has to Clara. I couldn't marry Kaia back then; this is all I can do to make it up to her." The voices slowly fade away, but they reverberate loud and clear in my mind. I've spent six years by Jacob's side, yet all I've gotten in return are lies and betrayal. His so-called love for me is nothing but a trick to steal my inheritance for someone else. Since this is what he wants, I'll make his wish come true.

Faye Millers was the plump orphan no one chose. With curvy hips, soft belly, and strawberry-blonde hair that was always tied in a messy ponytail. Too much for a pack that prized sharp bones and perfect lines. Yet Thorn Millers, the future Alpha and the adoptive brother who she was raised alongside, couldn’t keep his hands off her. He bullied her in daylight, then pulled her into his bed at night—secret, breathless nights where he worshipped the body he mocked in public. Faye’s wolf, Ulfa, swore he was their mate and she believed it. Until the coronation day. Pregnant with his child—the heir the elders demanded—Faye stood silent in the great hall, with her hand cradling her growing belly, as Thorn placed the Luna crown on her anorexic best friend Rieka’s head. “Some women,” Thorn announced, with his voice ringing with disgust yet never meeting Faye’s tear-filled eyes, “are simply not built to stand beside an Alpha.” The pack cheered. Rieka smiled triumphantly. While Faye’s heart broke into a thousand pieces. He rejected her curves, denied their baby and chose a fake fated bond, over the curvy girl carrying his bloodline. Her adoptive parents, desperate to hide their son’s shame, offered her money and care until delivery… then exile forever. But Faye didn’t crumble. As a social outcast swollen with child, she caught the eye of Jacob Black—the powerful Beta heir who saw beauty in every curve Thorn despised. Slowly, fiercely, he claimed her heart while royal blood stirred in her veins. They expected her to stay broken. To accept disgrace and fade away. With royal blood hidden in her veins and a true mate who craves every curve Thorn despised, Faye will reclaim everything he stole.
