“Masarap ba ang asawa ko?” ito ang mga katagang binitawan ng kakambal ko na si Ada pagkatapos kong makipagniig sa kanyang asawa sa gabi ng kanilang kasal, kasabay ng pagbitaw niya ng isang malakas na sampal sa mukha ko. Ang sagot ko? Mag-asawa at mas malakas din na sampal sa magkabilaan niyang pisngi sabay ngisi. “Oo naman, Ada. Napakasarap ng asawa mo.” ***** Grade one ang kambal na sina Ava at Ada noong maghiwalay ang kanilang mga magulang dahil sa pambababae ng kanilang ama. Si Ava ay naiwan sa kanyang ina, samantalang si Ada naman ay sumama sa tatay nila. Pero pagkatapos ng labing-anim na taon, muling nagbalik ang mag-ama. Hindi upang bumalik sa kanilang pamilya, kung hindi dahil may kailangan sila kay Ava. At ito ay ang kanyang pagka-birhen. Ang kapalit nito ay ang kidney ni Ada para sa operasyon ng kanyang inang may sakit sa bato. Dahil si Ada lang ang ka-match nito, no choice si Ava kung hindi ang pumayag para madugtungan pa ang buhay ng kanyang minamahal na ina. Pero paano kung mahulog ang loob niya kay Daniel, na asawa ng kakambal niya? Paano kung kahit anong iwas niya dito ay palagi pa rin silang pinagtatagpo ng tadhana? Noong namatay ang nanay niya dahil hindi tumupad sa usapan nila si Ada na ibigay dito ang kanyang kidney, nagdesisyon si Ava na ipaghiganti ang kanyang ina. Aagawin niya si Daniel sa kanyang kakambal. Iniba niya ng kaunti ang kanyang itsura at pumasok siya bilang assistant nito, at ipinakita dito ang isang video kung saan siya ang kaniig nito noong gabi ng kanyang kasal at hindi si Ada.

Ang kanyang pamilya ang gusto niyang makuha. Ang kanyang kalayaan ang hiniling niyang kapalit. Itinayo ni Irish Wei ang kanyang pangalan bilang ang pinakakinikilalang art curator sa lungsod—isang babaeng may dangal sa mundong pinaghaharian ng yaman at kapangyarihan ng mga dinastiyang negosyante. Ngunit nang gumuho ang imperyo ng kanyang pamilya dahil sa utang at pagkakanulo, siya ang naging huling collateral na gustong angkinin ng isang walang awang bilyonaryo. Hindi naghari si Kendrick Reyes sa pamamagitan ng pagiging mabait. Matagal nang hinintay ng negosyanteng ito ang pagbagsak ng pamilya Wei. Subalit nang makaharap niya si Irish—mayabang, matapang, handang ipagpalit ang sarili para sa kaligtasan ng kanyang pamilya—binago niya ang kasunduan. Isang taon. Ang kanyang buhay, kanyang pagsunod, ang kanyang lubos na pagpapasakop. Kapalit nito, ang kanyang ama ay makalalaya at mananatiling buo ang kanilang pangalan. Maninirahan siya sa mundo ng mga nakakulong na penthouse sa Gangnam, dadalo sa mga eksklusibong gala, at magiging tropeo sa harap ng mga piling tao ng lungsod. Nakakulong sa isang ginintuang hawla, inaasahan ni Irish ang kalupitan. Ang hindi niya inaasahan ay ang lalaking puno ng kontradiksyon—isa na magbabantay sa kanya nang may bangis na magpapalabo sa linya ng kanyang pagkabihag at pagiging protektado. Ngunit ang imperyo ni Kendrick ay itinayo sa mga lihim, at ang katotohanang taglay ni Irish ay maaaring siyang tanging bagay na hindi kayang kontrolin ng kanyang kapangyarihan. Sa larong puno ng yaman at pagnanasa, ang pinakamapanganib na pusta ay hindi ang pagkawala ng kanyang kalayaan. Ito ay ang pagkawala ng kanyang puso sa lalaking nagnakaw nito.

BE WITH YOU (TAGALOG) Lumaki si Adeline Pendleton sa isang mayamang pamilya. Nasa kanya ang lahat ng gusto ng isang tao sa buhay. Kayamanan, katanyagan, kagandahan, pera, mga damit na taga-disenyo, at mga masasarap na pagkain. Lahat, maliban sa lalaking mahal niya- si Drake Wright. Si Drake Wright ay ang tagapagmana ng Wright's Corporation. Sa kanyang murang edad, bumuo ang kanyang mga magulang ng isang imperyo na mamanahin niya balang araw. Okay ang lahat para sa kanya, hanggang sa nasangkot ang kanyang ama sa isang seryosong sitwasyon na nakaapekto sa kanilang kumpanya. Sinabihan siya ng kanyang mga magulang na malulugi ang kanilang kumpanya at ang tanging makakalutas sa kanilang problema ay dapat niyang pakasalan ang anak ng kanilang kaibigan- si Adeline Pendleton. Hindi niya gusto ang babae dahil ito ay masyadong walang muwang para sa kanya; naiinis siya sa presensya nito, at may mahal na siyang iba. Sa kasamaang palad, may malubhang karamdaman din ang kanyang ama at wala siyang magawa sa kanilang kumpanya kaya't humingi ito sa kanya ng pabor na ayusin ang problema para sa kanya. "Marry her, son. That's the only way. If you won't, maglalaho lahat ng sinakripisyo at ginawa namin ng ina mo para sa kumpanya natin." Sabi ng ama ni Drake habang nakahiga sa kanyang kama, hindi maigalaw ang kanyang mga kamay. Ano kaya ang mangyayari sa one-sided at broken marriage nina Drake at Adeline? Kakayanin kaya ni Adeline ang malupit na pagtrato at kayabangan ni Drake? Mabubuhay ba silang magkasama bilang mag-asawa nang walang pagmamahal at pagkakaintindihan? O mamumulaklak ang pag-ibig sa gitna ng bawat poot at hindi pagkakaunawaan?

The end of the world had never been so romantic—for Alisa Vega, at least. In an alternate universe where Earth survives the first apocalypse, humans live side by side with other species in a society where impossible things become possible. And yet, with all that magic and technology, love remains to be the most mysterious and unpredictable thing of all. Alisa Vega is a popular celebrity well-known for her beauty and charisma. Growing up in a loving and privileged environment, she had never wanted for anything in her life—until she meets Jester Lee, the rising star of the Adventurer community. Jester saves her life and steals her heart in the process. She confesses her love, but Jester is having none of it. Apparently, he's too busy saving all three worlds from a second apocalypse to entertain any thoughts on romance. But Alisa is convinced that he is THE ONE for her—and she is not taking no for an answer. Join Alisa and Jester as their stories unfold side by side: from gala appearances, photoshoots, and dodging the paparazzi, to navigating through a mess of man-eating monsters, secret identities, and uncovering conspiracies, all in the name of true love. *Author's Note: Some parts of the story may include scenes of violence and gore, dark (morbid) humor and possible emotional trauma (for the characters). Although the author encourages freedom in reading, this warning is in place for those who may find such topics disturbing. Reading should be fun for everyone, after all. Thank you! ^_^

My boyfriend, Karl Boone, was one of the adopted sons my father took in. Before he left, he vowed solemnly, "If I lose this battle, I'm not worthy of marrying you. And if I win, I'll rent out Disneyland and throw a grand wedding for you." I tore up all the marriage contracts from the local noble heirs and waited for him for two full years. But when he returned, he knelt before my father, with a pregnant woman hiding behind him. "I'll sacrifice everything I gained overseas to marry Karen," he said, shielding the woman. "She's innocent and fragile, having suffered through hardships in the slums. She's not like Tabitha, who has had everything from birth." My father's gaze swept over me, and the entire room fell silent. Everyone knew that when I lost my temper, I could tear down the house and make them pay dearly. But instead, I greeted the woman with a sweet smile. "Hi there." That night, I closed my eyes and picked one of the blind boxes containing names of potential suitors. As luck would have it, I picked Karl's arch-enemy. On our wedding day, Karl barged in wearing a bomb strapped to his body. "Tabitha, if you dare marry him, we'll die together!"

On my birthday, my boyfriend gave me a pearl bracelet and claimed it would bring wealth. I did not believe it. However, just a few days later, I actually won 15 million dollars. I happily went to claim my prize, but the very next day, my bank balance vanished overnight. Not only that, I was left paralyzed from the waist down, and my appearance aged by thirty years! I cried and went to my boyfriend for help, only to find out that he, once poor, was then driving a sports car. His paralyzed sister miraculously stood up overnight, while even his sixty-year-old mother transformed into a young woman, as if reborn. I confronted him, asking if the pearl bracelet was cursed. He shoved me to the ground, saying, "What kind of crazy person are you? I think you've watched too much TV and lost your mind!" After dying in anger, I was reborn on my birthday. My boyfriend eyed me with ill intent, holding a pearl bracelet in his hand, preparing to put it on me...

They say don't make deals with the devil. But what if it's the devil you know? Caution! This might make you lose your morals, question if you've ever been horny, take away your innocence, until you lose yourself with each nut. Warning, this may get really slippery. I'd advise you to grab some tissues. I didn't need tissues. Andrade's tongue licked the wine as it flowed down my hole. In a swift motion that made me lose my mind. His firm hands pulled me closer, spreading me as he fucked me with his tongue. “Fucking virgin..” he muttered. Don't talk with your mouth full. Hell, I didn't know I was gay until I met Andrade. And now, all I wanted was his big cock inside of me. How did I go from marrying his sister to being his little plaything? Well, I've made a deal with the devil, and I signed it with my body.
