Ali Baba And The Forty Thieves Summary

"Sofia, listen to me—marry Ethan, or your family loses everything." Sofia Vanguard never had a choice. Born into wealth, groomed for power, and shackled to her father’s ambitions, she was a pawn in a world where love was a liability. But when a single night—one she can’t even remember—leaves her pregnant with Ethan Reagan’s child, her fate is sealed. Ethan never wanted a wife. He never wanted a family. But in a game where power is inherited, and his ruthless brothers are willing to destroy him for it, marrying Sofia is the only way to survive. The plan was simple: a contract, five years, no strings attached. They’d live their separate lives, tolerate each other in public, and walk away free. Except Ethan can’t stand the thought of Sofia with another man. And Sofia can’t ignore the way Ethan looks at her. But love isn’t the only battle they have to fight. Kidnappings, betrayals, corporate sabotage, and an empire built on secrets threaten to tear them apart before they even have a chance to come together. And when their enemies strike where it hurts the most—their son—Ethan and Sofia will learn that in a world of power and blood, family isn’t just a bond. It’s a battlefield.

Camilla walks into my study, and the air shifts. She's a distraction I can't afford, but fuck if I can resist her. Her fingers trace the edge of my desk, her eyes locked onto mine. "What are you doing, Camilla?" I growl, my control already fraying. She's a walking temptation, and she knows it. She smirks, her voice a sultry whisper, already undoing me. "Pushing your buttons, Zeke. Seeing how far I can go before you snap." My control falters. I spin her around, pressing her against the desk. My hands roam over her body, and I can feel her submitting. "You want this?" I ask, my voice a low growl. "You want to see the beast you're unleashing?" *** Camilla Dawson never expected to see the sinfully hot stranger she once hooked up with in a public washroom ever again. But fate—or rather, a father she never knew existed—has other plans. Now, she's bound and delivered as payment for a debt, straight into the hands of none other than Zeke Russell—the ruthless kingpin who always gets what he wants.

She was never supposed to matter. Yet somehow, she’s slipping past his defenses, unearthing secrets he’s buried deep—and igniting a dangerous obsession.

“Alam ko kung ano ang pinagdadaanan mo,” sabi niya kay Hannah, habang nakatitig sa mga mata nito. “Alam mo?” napamaang na lang si Hannah ng marinig ang sinabi niya. Ang mga mata nito ay unti unting nabasa na parang binubukalan ng tubig. “Oo– alam ko ang lahat ng nangyayari sayo, Hannah.. At marahil.. Natatandaan mo na kung sino ako,” sabi niya sa babae. “Ni-ninong Edward–” halos pabulong lang ang tinig na iyon, subalit puno iyon ng pagsusumamo at parang paghingi ng tulong. “Anong nais mo?” tanong niya kay Hannah, determinado siyang tulungan ito sa abot ng kanyang makakaya. “Nais ko silang magdusa.. At magsisi sa mga ginawa nila sa akin. Nais kong lumubog sila at masaktan, gaya ng mga ginawa nilang kahayupan sa akin ninong. Gusto ko silang gumapang sa putik kung saan sila nagmula. Nais kong bawiin ang lahat ng pag aari ko!” umiiyak nitong sabi sa kanya. Nahabag si Ed sa babae. Pinagmasdan niya ito ng husto. "Pwede kitang tulungan, pero may kondisyunes ako sayo.." sabi niya dito. "Kahit ano ninong, gagawin ko, sabihin mo lang!" determinado ang mga mata ni Hannah habang nakatingin sa kanya. "Pakasalan mo ako.. Nais kong magkaroon ka ng karapatan sa kayamanan ko, upang makalaban ka ng patas sa kanila. Sa papel lang tayo magiging mag asawa hannah.. nais ko lang na makapaghiganti ka.."

Warning: Rated SPG(R-18) Naalala niya si Drix pati na ang paraan ng pag-angkin nito sa kanya. Na parang kapareho ng ginagawa ng lalaki na ito na nasa kanyang ibabaw. Kasunod niyon ay ang muling pagbabalik ng matinding sakit na pinaranas sa kanya ng lalaki ng iwanan siya nito, na halos ikabaliw niya yata. Bigla tuloy niyang naitulak ang buong lakas ang lalaki sa dibdib nito. Para siyang binuhusan ng malamig na tubig, kaya dagling nawala ang nagliliyab na pakiramdam na nararamdaman niya kanina lang. Gusto niyang malaman kung sino ba talaga ang lalaki sa dilim na kasama niya ngayon, para kasing kay damot ng liwanag ng mga sandaling iyon. Hindi niya talaga maaninag ang mukha ng lalaki. Dahil kung hindi siya nagkakamali na si Drix ang kanyang kaniig ay hinding hindi siya papayag sa mga nangyayari ngayon. Sinaktan siya ng matindi ng lalaki, iniwanan na siya. Kaya bakit siya nito kinuha ng walang permiso? Bakit siya kinidnap? Anong dahilan? Maya asawa na ito, kaya anong ibig sabihin ng lahat? “Sino ka!?” Napakalakas na tanong niya. Halatang nagulat ang lalaki sa biglang pagbabago niya ng mood. Kanina lang ay lubos na siyang nagpapasakop sa kamunduhan na taglay nito. Pero sa isang saglit ay nagawa niyang alisin ang init at palitan ng galit ang nadarama. Hindi rin niya alam kung paano niya nagawa iyon. Nakaangat ang kalahating katawan nito mula sa kanya, pero ang ibabang bahagi ay nananatiling magkadikit. Noon lang niya napansin na nakabukaka pala ang ayos niya, nakaayos ito sa kanyang gitnang ibabang katawan. Naisip niya na kung sasalakayin ng matigas na parte ng katawan nito ang kanyang hiyas ay tiyak na wala siyang kalaban laban. “Sino ka?” Malakas na ulit niya sa tanong. “Alex.” Parang naguguluhang bigkas nito sa kanyang pangalan. “Hindi mo pa ba ako nakikilala?”

During a long holiday, my husband booked flights for a family vacation. On the way to the airport, I suddenly saw numbers appearing on everyone’s head. The numbers on my husband’s head indicated sixty years, but my parents and I had only six hours indicated on our heads. While I was puzzled over the meaning of those numbers, I noticed that the driver next to us only had six seconds indicated over his head through the car window. Five… Four… Three… Two… One. When the number turned zero, a massive truck immediately rammed into the car next to us. I saw flickers of fire, flesh and blood exploding before my eyes. People were screaming for help, but I could not hear anything. I trembled as cold sweat drenched my entire body. It was because my flight would be taking off in six hours.
