Another Name For Crimson

Isang pirma. Isang apelyido. Isang kasunduang tuluyang babago sa buhay ni Celestine Ramirez. Walang kaalam-alam sa galaw ng mga makapangyarihang tao, napilitang pumayag si Celestine sa isang kasal na hindi niya ginusto—isang papel na dapat sanang gampanan ng kapatid niyang tumakas sa responsibilidad. Ang lalaking pinakasalan niya? Si Lucas Arguelles Sevllia. CEO ng Arguelles Holdings. Kilalang malamig, walang puso, at kayang pabagsakin ang sinumang hindi sumunod sa kanya. Akala ni Celestine, tatlong buwan lang ang lahat—hanggang makansela ang kontrata. Pero paano kung ang lalaking walang pakialam ay unti-unting nagiging protektibo, mapagmasid, at... mapagmahal? At paano kung sa likod ng tahimik nitong pagkilos, ay ang matagal nang lihim—na hindi aksidente ang pagkakapili sa kanya? "Hangga’t dala mo ang apelyido ko, akin ka," bulong ni Locas sa kanyang tainga. "At hindi ko hayaan na maagaw ka ninuman." Pero sa mundong puno ng lihim, kasinungalingan, at makakalaya pa ba siya sa isang pangalang hindi niya pinili… ngunit minahal na niya?

Please…” I begged wanting him to do more. My body shook when he increased the pace.I dropped my back to the desk and arched my back.His mouth found my clit and I let out a deep moan. I could feel the pressure building up. “Greg,I'm so…so close.” I whimpered. His movement slowed a bit. “No!” I cried. “Please.” I could feel the smile tugging in his lips as he continued to lick on my clit. “Please…” I begged even more,my voice sounding needy even to my own ears. He increased his pace.Fingering me faster and harder. My toes curled as I felt the pressure about to explode inside of me. “I'm going to cum..” “Then do so,show me how good you can be and cum for me.” Pressure exploded through me,my whole body shaking from it all.I let my head rest on the desk as I tried to catch my breathe. His arms came around me, lifted me up and wrapped me in his arms. “Thank you.” I whispered. He planted a light kiss on my shoulder and just held me. I pulled back and looked him in the eye. “That was my first orgasm.” I announced proudly,warmth filling my heart. He smiled and leaned in.”How about another one.” ******************************************* Sex. That was the only reason Emillia Winslow got married to the Mafia Billionaire, Gregory Densmore.

"Life and Death are like green and red: you can't be both, but you can be neither. " Will you accept if you were given a chance to live forever?

Nineteen years ago, a prophecy appeared in the land of Calla Empire. "The day has come. The Goblin's Bride will be born. The Goblin will rise again." Mothers who were pregnant were f*rced to abort their unborn children. The Queen who was bearing the King's sole heiress was left with no other choice but to escape and run away from the Empire. Amara Fairoza turned into a lovely little girl. She was loved by the people of the woods and was always been a fan of folklores. "My children, do you want to know a secret?" said by an old woman when Amara was seventeen. "It was the Royal family who cursed the people. They were the ones who spread the disease and blame it to the Goblin. They took the Goblin and locked him under the palace. The Goblin's trapped into a deep sleep. A spell was casted by a witch and no one could wake him except for the kiss of his bride." She didn't have any idea back then that she was the lost queen of the empire and the Goblin's bride.

When I find out about that woman's existence, it turns out that they've been dating for a very long time. Simon Jensen protects her very well. Even though he's already attended banquets with her and has introduced her to all of his friends, I still have yet to see any of her photos. Heck, I don't even know her name. If it weren't for the fact that Simon was unable to resist that woman's coquettish pleading and brought her to the fashion show press conference as a brand investor, I'd probably remain in the dark forever. At this moment, I stare at Simon from far away, who's currently gazing at his lover standing on the runway. There's a hint of a gentle smile in his eyes. The camera flashes keep clicking. One of the reporters can't resist asking, "Mr. Jensen, are you a fan of Angela Stewart as well?" Simon never averts his gaze from Angela. He replies, "No. She's the love of my life." So, it turns out the cold and aloof Simon is capable of doting on a young woman to this degree. I spin the dull wedding ring around my ring finger subconsciously. That's when I realize how meaningless this marriage actually is.

My sister pushes her daughter at a murderer so she can win the prize in a photography competition. After this, she even uses the incident and my name to extort the victim to pay an astronomical sum as compensation. The victim stabs me to death in a fit of rage. When my son, who is brought up by me, learns the truth, he doesn't seek justice for me. Instead, he scatters my ashes in the sea and says, "My mother told me that I would've been the happiest child in the world if not for you taking the wrong child home back then." When I open my eyes again, I'm taken back to when my daughter was five years old. I have a month until her death. This time, I'm going to protect my child to the best of my abilities. I won't bother about an ingrate anymore.

To save her brother, Riley Morgan must become him. Disguised as Ryan Morgan, she transfers to Falcons Academy—a elite sports school for boys where strength rules and weakness is destroyed.

Living with him is dangerous and getting close to him is even worse. Because the longer Riley spends with Jax, the harder it becomes to remember who she is supposed to be—especially when the only person who could expose her… is also the one she is starting to fall in love with.
