After A Meal Chapter 6

Isang gabing hindi inaasahan. Isang pagkakamali na hindi na mababawi. Akala ni Brielle, matapos ang gabing ‘yon ay wala nang balikan, walang magiging komplikasyon. Pero nagkamali siya. Ngayon, may isang buhay sa sinapupunan niya. At ang ama? Si Matthias Castillejo—isang lalaking mayaman, makapangyarihan, at walang balak akuin ang responsibilidad. Para sa kanya, isang gabi lang ‘yon. Pero para kay Brielle, isang panghabambuhay na pagbabago.

“Honey, let’s make a baby together so that you won’t leave me.” I resisted, but my husband ignored it and forced himself onto me. After that, I did it with him 520 times, each time a nightmare for me. Even when he was on business trips, he had to monitor my every move via video, terrified that I would run away. However, one day, I received an invitation to an art exhibition. The intimate gestures between my husband and me had been turned into works of art, filling the entire gallery. My husband held a young female intern by the waist, his gaze sweeping over me with indifference. “Two years ago, you insisted on going against Tiara over an art collectible and suppressed her during the auction, spending lavishly just to humiliate her.” “Now there are 520 art pieces here, an exhibition showcasing your disgrace. If you don’t want them falling into someone else’s hands, you’ll need to bid on them one by one.”

Once upon a time, Leonard truly loved me. In order to establish a Mate Bond with me, he confessed 99 times. On the 99th time, I was finally moved. On the day of our Marking Ceremony, I gave him 99 forgiveness coupons. I promised him that I would forgive him 99 times. As long as he still had coupons left over, I would forgive him and stay with him no matter what he did. We were bonded for six years. In the first five years of our Mate Bond, I rarely ever used the forgiveness coupons. Since his childhood friend Judy returned, however, I started burning through the coupons. When I tore up the 98th coupon, Leonard noticed that I had changed. I no longer made a fuss or fought him over Judy. I simply asked him calmly, “If you go to Judy, can I use up one forgiveness coupon?” Leonard paused and then recovered his cool. “Sure. I only used up slightly over half, so use another if you want.” I stayed silent as he left the house. As it turned out, he had no idea he had just lost his 98th coupon. He only had one chance left. After that, I would leave him forever.

Isang kasal na walang pag-ibig—iyon lang ang turing ni Hunter kay Ayla. At nang muling bumalik ang kanyang unang mahal, wala siyang pagdadalawang-isip na iwan si Ayla at burahin ang lahat ng mayroon sila. Pero hindi lahat ng iniwan ay nananatiling mahina. Muling bumangon si Ayla, hindi na bilang biktima kundi bilang isang babaeng handang gumanti. Ngunit habang papalapit siya sa kanyang layunin, isang tanong ang unti-unting bumabalot sa kanyang puso—paghihiganti ba talaga ang gusto niya… o ang patunayan na siya ang dapat pinili? Sa laban ng nakaraan at kasalukuyan, ng pag-ibig at galit—hanggang saan kayang sirain ni Ayla ang isang taong hindi naman siya minahal? At kapag dumating ang huli, sino ang tunay na matatalo?

I'm having a mental breakdown as I face a clogged drain with my feverish and fussing daughter in my arms. Meanwhile, my husband has reserved a hotel to celebrate another woman's birthday. My mother-in-law spits on the floor. "This is what you deserve. You can't even capture a man's heart!" I clench a fist around the winning lottery ticket in my pocket. I want to get a divorce.

“Daddy… Fuck me daddy… I know daddy wants my pussy…. Yeah daddy harder… Oh..” I moaned tightly, biting my bottom lips. “So close.” I whispered, twirling my other hand on my breast, pinching and swirling my thumb against my dark buds. It was fucking sweet having pleasuring myself but I wondered what it would actually feel like having daddy’s cock inside of me instead. My eyes had immediately seized upward, and my hues widened with shock, snapping at the sight of my father figure who stood unwavering at the door. My heart skipped a beat that I swallowed harshly having pushed the words out my mouth. “Daddy….” my eyes leaned on him, watching as his dark shadow loomed further inside my room, and he pushed the door closed from behind with my breath which had halted. My leg involuntarily squeezed themselves to together, and another pleasure weaved its way into my body, maybe it was actually due to shock. What was he fucking doing here? “Princess where you fantasizing about me?” *** Roses weren’t red, neither were violent blue to me, all I wanted was pleasure but it all went too far….. The moment I saw how gracious my stepdad appeared, I had made it my mission to seduce him. Unfortunately what I didn’t know was that I was a naïve nineteen years old who was being used. He turned to a monster, and he made it his own life mission to torment my existence.

Three years ago, Emily married Aaron out of gratitude. She truly believed he respected her, cared for her, maybe even loved her. It wasn’t until later that she realized—he had never really let go of his ex. And the craziest part? She looked just like her. Time and time again, he left her behind for that woman. And finally, Emily understood something. A thousand days and nights couldn’t warm a heart that was never hers to begin with. All along, he had only been looking through her… searching for someone else in her shadow. If he didn’t love her, then so be it. She was done trying. But after the divorce, he came back—saying she was the one he truly cared about all along. His eyes full of regret, chasing after what he lost— But Emily just laughed. She wasn’t that quiet, invisible wife from three years ago anymore.

When I'm paying the pension for my jobless wife, Lilith Ingram, I accidentally find out that she's had a job this whole time. She's paid a salary of two thousand dollars, which is wired into her personal bank account. Every month, the money will be transferred elsewhere, leaving her without a single cent. I've never seen the money before. Back when our daughter, Maisy Ingram, was severely ill, we were 200 dollars short to pay for her hospital bills. I was so poor that I had to sell my blood and beg everyone around me just to get them to lend me money. But during that time, Lilith never thought of sharing the burden with me. She merely comforted me with empty words before transferring two thousand dollars to her first love, Hayden Grant, the next day. Our marriage of 30 years is reduced to nothing but a laughingstock. I place the divorce agreement that I've printed out in front of Lilith. It's a silent confrontation between us. "Must you really resort to this method?" Lilith snaps impatiently. "It's just two thousand dollars! You have an annual salary of 200 thousand dollars! Why care so much about chum change?" Even Maisy takes her side by calling me a petty, stingy geezer. "Everyone has an unattainable first love when they're still young! You should be grateful that Hayden has been holding back his urges without crossing the line for so many years!" I feel as though I got struck by lightning at that moment. It's then that I belatedly realize I'm the only outsider in this family. "Getting a divorce is fine by me. Hayden's getting on with the years. I just want to take care of him and send him off when his time eventually arrives." Maisy adapts a righteous tone. "As compensation for me, I get the house, the car, and the savings. You're leaving this marriage without a single cent under your name."

The day she died, Julia Knight called her husband, Atlas Volkan 57 times while a masked man strangled her. As air finally drained from her lungs, his voice filtered through accompanied by hers. His first love whom his priorities lied with, the one he cherished - The one for whom, he would never be able to love her. In this life, she was constantly blamed for pushing his brother to death, snatching her sister's rights, and treated like a doormat in her own home. She was her mother's slave, her sister's puppet and her husband's clown. So, as Julia breathed her last breath, she begged for one chance- just one more chance to live life for herself. When she is reborn, she immediately asks for a divorce. To her surprise, her cold dominating husband refused and went insane trying to win her back.

Sa isang gabing binalot ng alak, lihim, at pagkakamali, nabago ang kapalaran ng dalagang si Vienna Reign Gonzalez-isang bihasang secret agent na sanay itago ang emosyon sa likod ng malamig na titig at matatag na puso. Isang gabi ng labis na kalasingan ang naging dahilan ng isang hindi inaasahang bunga: isang buhay na lumalaki sa kanyang sinapupunan. Ngunit ang mas masakit na katotohanan-ang ama ng kanyang anak ay ang lalaking itinalaga niyang patayin. Si Devereux Blue Ace Guevara Montague-isang makapangyarihan, misteryoso, at kinatatakutang pangalan sa ilalim ng mundo. Isang lalaking puno ng sikreto, kapangyarihan, at mga kasalanang maaaring gumiba sa buong sistema. Siya ang target. Siya ang kalaban. Siya rin ang ama ng batang dinadala ni Vienna. Habang lumalalim ang misyon, mas lalo ring gumugulo ang kanyang puso. Sa pagitan ng tungkulin at damdamin, galit at pagnanasa, Vienna ay mapipilitang pumili: Barilin ang lalaking kinamumuhian niya... o iligtas ang pamilyang hindi niya inaasahang mabubuo. Sa mundong puno ng baril, dugo, at pagtataksil-maaaring ang pinakamapanganib na misyon ay hindi ang pumatay... kundi ang umibig.
