Another Word For Taken For Granted

Dahil sa utang na loob ni Solemn sa pamilyang umampon sa kaniya ay pumayag siyang magpakasal sa lalaking hindi niya pa nakikilala. Gayun pa man ay pumayag siyang ipakasal upang makabawi sa pamilyang umampon, nag-aruga at nagmahal sa kaniya. Gusto mang umayaw ng kaniya isipan ngunit ang kaniyang puso ay nakakaramdam ng kilig at pananabik. Kahit na gano'n ay hinayaan niya lang hanggang sa nakita niya ang lalaking papakasalan at nasabi niya lang sa kaniyang sarili "Gagampanan ko ang responsibilidad bilang asawa niya pero hindi ibig sabihin no'n pag-aari ko na siya. Magiging isa kami ngunit magiging malayang ibon pa rin siya. Gagawin niya ang kaniyang gusto at ako ay may limitasyon na, 'di na katulad ng isang malayang paru-paro. Pagsisilbihan ko siya upamg hindi mapahiya ang pamilyang nagpalaki at nag-aruga sa akin sa loob ng dalawang put apat na taon. This is my way of paying my debt of gratitude to their sacrifices and cared for me."

It's crazy to give someone your heart, and in return get treated like crap. Mahirap. Masakit. Nakakaloko… To love someone who can't love you back. Yung ginawa mo siyang mundo, habang ikaw isang orbit lang para sa kaniya. Ikaw na laging available para sa kaniya, habang siya walang oras para sa’yo. Hanggang kalian ka magtitiis sa relasyong ikaw lang ang totoong umiibig? Kaya mo bang manatili sa piling niya… kahit alam mong ginagamit ka lang niya dahil alam niyang mahal mo siya? A love story that started from the complicated past of their parents. Could they prove that love wins after all?

"I want you... right here... right now." I breathed. His lips hovered over mine, his breath mingling with my own as he spoke. "Once I start, there's no turning back." I swallowed hard and nodded. My gaze dropped to his lips, full and tempting. I watched, craving, as his tongue swept across his bottom lip "How could I possibly want you to stop when my body is aching for your touch?" The words slipped before I could stop them. For a second, I thought he would push me away again, but then something in him snapped. His lips inched closer to mine, and his fingers lightly stroked my cleavage. The touch made my breasts push higher against my dress, my nipples tightening, my chest heaving as my heartbeat raced. It was all getting too intense, and I was tempted to run and pretend this never happened. But the ache between my legs was too strong to ignore. I wasn’t about to let this moment slip away. “Kiss me," I whispered, pressing my body closer to his in a slow, seductive tease. “Make me forget him....” A dark and intense forbidden love story about a good girl gone bad, Clairessa Hartwood thought she had it all—until heartbreak drove her to revenge.

TAKEN. She found it hard to resist him and neither did her wedding ring. People called it cheating, she called him a meaningful tool. A blissful marriage with a masculine attraction. What a distraction! "No one has to know" he said to her too.

Even though this is my eighth time proposing to Beverly Galvan, she still coldly turns me down again. She says that she isn't ready yet and that she needs more time. Since that's the case, I tell myself I will wait as long as it takes. That's when I see it—her and my brother's marriage certificate, posted for everyone to see on her social media. When I question her about it, she merely says in a calm voice, "Timothy's unwell. He can't get too upset, so you'd better not start anything!" They are wearing wedding rings in that photo, and there is a barely visible bump on her belly. In that moment, the storm within me dissipates. Hitting the like button on the post, I type out a comment. "I wish you both a lifetime of joy. May the two of you grow old together!" A year later, a desperate-looking Beverly shows up in front of me, begging that we get back together. Unfortunately for her, her best friend, who was clearly pregnant, steps in with a smile and pushes her aside. "Give it a rest, will you? My husband already has a wife. We can have kids of our own. There's no need for him to be someone's fallback guy."

We were taken. We were imprisoned. We were starved. We were abused. We were slaughtered. We were hopeless. Then... we were saved. We are a group of women, surviving against all odds against those who oppress us. We don't back down no matter how bleak the odds, and we will triumph against those who wish to use us for their own gain. We are many, and we will not be prey ever again.

Isabella Parker is the perfectly imperfect girl with half parts sass and half parts innocence mixed with a perfect life. She has loving parents who adore her beyond anything, two younger siblings whom she loves beyond anything. She is in her graduation with 2 great friends, everything seems going perfect UNTIL ONE Day The day she gets kidnapped! One small favour to a classmate messes everything up? Or does it! Isabella has caught eye of an mysterious man, who wouldn't let her go. "LET ME GO" she shouted half scared as the man dragged and shoved her on a bed, she presumed. Obviously she presumed, she had a blindfold on from the moment she woke up. "The sooner you stop fighting the better for you" he replied in a calm voice. His voice did something to her. She held her tongue for a minute, not because she was going to stop fighting HELL NO! But because of what his voice reminded her of! His touch wasn't foreign neither his voice. WEIRD! "Didn't think that would work" he chuckled. "IT DIDN'T you fucking pig" she shouted struggling as he laughed. "Glad you are finding my misery funny" she growled. "No wonder Alex wanted to feed you off to his Piranhas" he laughed. Her entire body stilled at the thought. They wanted to kill her? but she couldn't hold her tongue now could she? "Then what am I still doing here?" She sassed. She could feel the tense in his posture even tho she couldn't see. It was getting hard to breath. She gasped when she felt his lips on her earlobe. He was so quiet. "Instead I decided you were mine to feed on!" He said in his sexy voice making her freeze.

Kimberly keeps having these weird dreams were she finds herself wrapped in the arms of this powerful demigod with the eye of a beast and the body of a god. Suddenly her perfect life as a human was unbalanced when she meets with one of the creatures she has sworn all her life never to believe in__a werewolf. He tells her so many things about her life she never thought were possible among which was the fact that she was reincarnated, and her life span reducing everyday and eventually, she was going to die if she doesn't find her mate. But the problem was... How is she going to ever find this mysterious man? How is she expected to find a creature that calls bluff everything she had ever believed in? How is she going to deal with the knowledge of the barrier that has been placed on her and the Alpha, from finding each other? And finally, How is she going to cope with the way her body reacts against her will, to the touches of his ?

I've been married to my mate, William Parker, for three years. Yet, he has never claimed me. He always says that once his territory expands, he will hold a grand marking ceremony for me. I believed him and willingly waited for three years. But today, I witnessed with my own eyes William claiming my younger sister, Naomi Jenkins, at the altar. In fact, she has been missing for three years. At the marking ceremony, my three older brothers stand firmly by Naomi's side, supporting her. "Naomi was too young back then and was deceived by the Beta of the Northern pack into fleeing. Now she's been poisoned by silver nitrate and doesn't have long to live. Her only wish is to become your mate," they say. William nods and replies calmly, "For three years, I didn't hold a marking ceremony for Patricia. I was waiting for Naomi to return and explain things to me. "I will claim Naomi as my own to fulfill her final wish. But Patricia must never know. If she finds out, she'll leave me." My brothers, however, are certain. "It's fine. She loves you that much. Even if she knew, she wouldn't leave. Right now, nothing matters more than Naomi." I flee in despair, realizing that those three years of waiting were nothing but a cruel joke. The marking ceremony was always meant for Naomi. After she left, my brothers showered me with affection. I foolishly thought I was finally loved. But the truth hurts. Whenever Naomi returns, all their love goes back to her. The moment I learn the truth, my heart shatters, and I leave. Yet why, after I'm gone, do they all regret it?
