Arcane Magic

Back in college, Damian Cross and Alexandra “Alex” Vega shared a reckless kind of passion—one built on stolen nights, whispered names, and a promise that it was nothing serious. No commitments. No future. Just fire. Pero hindi alam ni Damian, that fire left something behind—twins. A boy and a girl Alex raised on her own, telling them their father died years ago. While Damian built his ruthless empire and became one of the world’s most powerful billionaires, Alex buried their past and became a decorated soldier. Until one mission went wrong, leaving her unit dead… and turning her into one of the most sought-after bodyguards in the country. Seven years later, Alex’s world shatters again—her daughter is diagnosed with leukemia. Desperate for money for the surgery, Alex takes the job she almost rejected: protect a billionaire being hunted by enemies. She nearly drops the file when she sees his name. Damian Cross. Damian, on the other hand, isn’t thrilled either. He laughs in disbelief when he’s told his new head of security is a woman—until she walks in. The same fierce eyes. The same fire. The same woman he thought he’d lost forever. Now, Damian must face the truth: the bodyguard sworn to protect him is the only woman he’s ever let too close… and she’s hiding the biggest secret of all—his children. As bullets close in, old wounds reopen, and sparks reignite, Alex must choose: keep the walls she built for seven years, or let Damian back in—and risk breaking more than just her own heart.

"W-wait! Someone's comi- ah!" Dylan's gasps were muffled with a kiss that made his legs go weak. "Want me to stop?" The whisper made him shudder. "...no, b-but there's-" "Then be a good boy and focus on me. Spread your legs.” Dylan as an innocent college student knew what he wanted in a guy and coincidentally, the Waltson’s, their new neighbor, had a son Theo who was a perfect fit. But sadly straight and also not single. Aiming to drink out his sorrows at the school party and move on was an act he did not see ending with him sleeping with someone, but having no idea who it was the next morning. Soon, his hunt for the truth gets narrowed down to the Waltson's, and he gets faced with the late realization that Theo wasn’t the only son of the Waltson's. With his elder brother, Lucas, and a mute twin, Kyle, his options of his drunk one night widens from one to three. Lucas and Theo had been present at the party, and Dylan saw his only chance of knowing the truth was getting closer to them. But to do that, he needed the help of Kyle who was anything but nice to him. His constant glares, his mischievous smiles, and his hand signs that get interpreted into nothing but lies. Almost like he was trying his best to keep him away from his brothers. And just when he thought that, he takes up the initiative to search up a sign Kyle had shown to him.  ^^You and him are never going to work out. I'll make sure of that.^^ In the game of finding out what Kyle meant by that, he stumbles across something even bigger. The Waltson's secret

Dalawang taon nang kasal si Faye sa kaniyang asawang si Matheo, ngunit isa lamang kasunduan ang nagbubuklod sa kanilang dalawa. Mayroong lihim si Matheo sa tunay nitong pagkatao, at upang mapagtakpan iyon ay kailangan niyang magpakasal sa isang babae. Si Faye naman ay iniiwasang maipakasal sa lalaking hindi niya mahal kaya pumayag siya sa kasunduang ibinigay sa kaniya ni Matheo. Ang pangako nilang dalawa, hanggang tatlong taon lamang ang kanilang pagsasama. Pagkatapos ng tatlong taon ay maibibigay na ang mana kay Matheo na siyang paghahatian nilang dalawa at mamumuhay silang malaya at masaya. Ngunit paano pa iyon matutupad kung bigla na lamang nawala ang lalaki? Hindi malaman ni Faye kung tinangay ito o napahamak. Hindi niya alam kung saan hahanapin si Matheo. Hanggang sa biglang lumitaw ang kakambal ni Matheo— si Mikhael. Ang lalaking akala niya’y hindi na niya muling makikita. Alam ni Mikhael na nawawala si Matheo at posibleng nasa kapahamakan ang buhay nito. Isang international agent si Mikhael, at nalaman nito na ang pagkawala ni Matheo ay may kinalaman sa sindikatong tinutugis nito. Upang mapalabas ang tootong may sala sa pagkawala ng kapatid, kailangan na magpanggap ni Mikhael bilang si Matheo. At kinakailangan nito ang kooperasyon ni Faye. Ngunit tila hindi lamang ang buhay ni Matheo ang nanganganib sa pagkakataong ito— maging ang puso ni Faye ay nasa panganib na rin. Gayong ang totoo niyang iniibig ang kaniya nang makakasama sa pagpapanggap. Paano niya rin maproprotektahan ang lihim nilang dalawa ni Matheo? Hanggang saan ang pagtatago at pagpapanggap nilang tatlo? Hindi kaya bumalik ang damdamin ni Faye kay Mikhael? O baka si Mikhael ang bigla na lamang mahulog sa kaniyang sister-in-law? How would they protect their heart while fulfilling their duties? How could they deny the temptations?

"Don't mistake me for gentle, kitten, I'll fuck you exactly on my terms, ruin you slowly and make you feel every inch of what you asked for; "So once you let me in tonight, you're mine, to do with whatever I so please... He growled into my ear, the tip of his tongue gently grazing my earlobe, biting down at it gently. "I could choose to make love to you, or to fuck you like a slut you are... Are you sure you want that kitten?" "I want nothing else than that, please take me already." I could barely recognize my voice as I pleaded with this man who I had met few days ago to do whatever he wanted with my body. *** After bumping into a stranger the night she caught her boyfriend whom she's been together with since freshman year, cheating on her, Renna knew her life wasn't going to remain the same ever again.
