All Too Well Bookstore

During the holidays, my boss wants us to choose between a holiday bonus and tarts. I don't like tarts at all, so I'm the first one to vote for a bonus. But the intern, Davin Holt, who's in charge of gathering everyone's votes and opinions, is quick to pin me on the hall of shame in the company's group chat. "Fabian, we mainly celebrate the holidays just to experience the atmosphere, you know? Isn't it too materialistic of you to vote for a bonus instead?" The department head tags me in the group chat as well. "Fabian, our company prioritizes the team spirit even more." In the end, everyone except me chooses the tarts. On the day of our holiday team bonding event, Davin bought everyone nut tarts. He knows that I'm allergic to nuts, and yet he still forces me to eat the tart in front of my boss just to show that I have team spirit. "Fabian, I bought the tarts with everyone's bonus. You can't just rain on our parade by rejecting them, right?" The next thing I know, I begin having difficulties breathing. At the same time, patches of red rashes break out on my skin. But Davin shoots me a look of disgust. "Dude, must you really spoil the mood while everyone else is having fun?" Desperately, I rummage through my bag for my allergy medication, only to see more tarts in its place. The sight of me looking so wretched makes Davin roar in laughter. "Medicine can be harmful to you, you know! You should have more desserts instead! That's why I've changed all of your medication to tarts!" Already, I find it more and more difficult to breathe. So, I text the CEO of this company on the spot. "Mom, my allergy is acting up! I'm at…"

Connor Lockwood abandons me at the hospital's entrance even though I'm bleeding in the middle of my pregnancy. He insists on sending his client, a divorcée, home. The blood flows down my legs, but he hurries off without another look back. He should've been at the hospital and by my side, but instead, I see him in his client's social media update. It's captioned, "Thank goodness for my wonderful lawyer. Do you know who gets to have hangover soup when they're drunk? Me!" I spend the rest of the night wide awake. The following morning, I calmly dial a number. "Dad, I've made up my mind. I'll return home in three days to take over the company."

"Try to divorce me, I will make you suffer even more. I will destroy you!" ika niyang nanggagalaiti sa galit. Hawak niya sa leeg si Ysabella. Ang likod nito ay nakasandig na sa pader. Wala na itong kawala pa. Imbes na takot. Imbes na umiyak at magmakaawa, napahalakhak si Ysabella. Napaubo lamang siya nang humigpit ang nanginginig na kamay ni Daniel sa kaniyang leeg. Pasakal. "Destroy? Wala ka nang sisirain pa, Daniel. Wala na dahil hindi mo lang sinira, winasak mo pa. Winasak mo hindi lang pagkatao ko..." Asik niya. Walang mababakas na emosyon sa kaniyang mukha. Manhid na siya sa lahat ng kalupitan ng kaniyang asawa. "Ang pilat sa likod ko ang magpapatunay ng kalupitan mo. Ang mga kalyo sa kamay ko ang ebidensya sa hirap na dinanas ko. Para kumain. Lumaban ako para mabuhay. Ang payat kong pangangatawan ang resulta ng pagdurusa ko ng dahil sa iyo. Daniel, lahat ng ito, sa pisikal lang na sakit. Nagpapaalala lang ng pagkakamali kong minahal kita. Walang wala sa buong pagkatao ko na winasak mo ng pinong-pino! Napailing si Daniel. Ayaw tanggapin ang mga salitang namutawi sa bibig ni Ysabella. Nang babaeng mahal na mahal siya. At nagsasabing... Pagod na itong mahalin siya. "You will love me again. Bubuuin kitang muli. Just stay! As my wife..." Umiling si Ysabella. "You love me too late, Daniel. Too late..." She was hated. Destroyed! And now loved? For her, it's too late. For him, he needs to start anew. But fate will decide for them. Does love have a second chance this time?

For stumbling upon a purge, I was taken by the city’s most dangerous don, Lucca of the Rossi family. He said it was the only way I’d survive. So he kept me in his mansion, taught me how to shoot, and drilled me in the rules of the underground world. He would stroke my hair and call me his innocent lily. Everyone knew I was his woman. Until one day, he handed me over to the enemy to secure an alliance with the Balsamo family. That was when I realized I was never his lover, just the sharpest blade in his hand. I buried all my feelings, faked my death, and disappeared. Years later, we met again at a casino. He looked at me in a backless gown, the rose tattoo on my back on full display. “Eliana, I once loved that purity of yours. Look at you now—tempting, yet cheap.” I smiled lightly, brushing his hand away. “Can’t help it, Don Rossi. The owner of this place just likes me this way.”
