Banana Joe From The Amazing World Of Gumball

My name is Ivy Lawson. At 3:00 am, I get a call from Christina McSpire, a parent of one of my students. "Hello, Ms. Lawson, I noticed Zoe only spent five dollars on her meal yesterday. Did she not eat any meat?" she asks. Pushing through my exhaustion, I reply, "Don't worry, Mrs. Street. I'll check on it tomorrow." Another half hour goes by, and she calls again. "It's supposed to rain tomorrow. Can you remind Zoe to bring an umbrella?" I can hardly keep my eyes open. "Got it," I reply absentmindedly. A few minutes later, my phone rings once more. "Please make sure Zoe brushes her teeth for three minutes. It's also important that she scrubs each side of her face at least three times." Suppressing my frustration, I calmly respond, "Zoe is in her senior year of high school. I'm sure she's capable of taking care of herself." I expect that to be the end of it, but when I wake up, my silenced phone shows over a hundred missed calls.

“I can’t carry your pups. Except you reject her. You will reject her this minute if you want an heir bad enough. She’s been watching us. She knows everything now.” Swara heard her twin negotiate with her fiancé. As the neglected daughter of the Lycan, Swara has been mistreated and tormented by her twin since she could breathe. She was not as gifted as her and she had a weak wolf. While her twin sister performed the roles of an Alpha’s son and went to war; there was no pack duty Swara could handle. Just claws and teeth but no action. Still, getting hurt and rejected later on by the only man who meant everything to her was heart-wrenching. Swara accepted her father’s order to leave the pack and study abroad. Unknown to her, some people wanted her gone for good. On the spur of the moment, she badged into the pack of the most dreaded and formidable Alpha, the ruthless lion that killed his father to usurp the throne.

Ten years ago, Lily Rose Wright gave her all to Lucas Thompson. He was her only love and childhood friend. One day, Lucas vanished without a trace. He shattered her heart and left her a part of him. Time passed, and Lily swore to have moved on with her life. Unexpectedly, Lucas returned and spared no means to force her into marrying him. With a marriage certificate, Lucas bound her relentlessly to his side and the son he left behind. Lucas promised to give Lily and their son everything their hearts desired, but will his doting ways mend the deep wounds inflicted by the past? Why did he leave in the first place? If Lily were to find out, would the truth bring them together, or would it tear them apart? *** "Come back to me, Lily. I'll give you everything you want," Lucas offered. "What I want is for you to leave me alone," Lily coldly said. Lucas chuckled. Then, he firmly replied, "Anything but that."

Sa mismong araw ng kanyang divorce, nagsuot si Dorothy Navarro ng pulang bestida—hindi para mang-akit, hindi para magpakitang okay siya, kundi para alalahanin ang minsang pagmamahalan na ngayo'y ganap nang nawala. Pagkatapos niyang talikuran ang isang sirang kasal ng walang halong drama, ang huli niyang inaasahan ay ang mapansin ng pinakanakamisteryosong CEO sa bansa—si Theodore Velasco. Tahimik. Mapanuri. Mapanganib sa mga taong humaharang sa daan niya. At tila may alam ito tungkol sa matagal nang tinataguang katotohanan: ang pagkamatay ng tiyahin ni Dorothy—isang kasong tinapos ng mundo bilang "suicide." Ngunit isang tawag lang, isang paper bag ng kape, at nahulog si Dorothy sa isang masalimuot na mundo ng lihim, kapangyarihan, at paghilom ng lumang sugat. Upang mabuhay sa bagong laban, kailangang mamili ni Dorothy: pagkatiwalaan ang lalaking walang emosyon ngunit may hawak ng katotohanan—o layuan ang tanging taong handang bigyan siya ng proteksyon, kalayaan, at isang bagong apelyido—Mrs. Velasco. Ngunit ang kasunduang kasal na ginawa para sa paghihiganti… ay baka mauwi sa totoong pagmamahal. Magtatagumpay ba si Dorothy bilang maging tagapagmanang pinagkait sa kanya noon? O ang pangalawang pagkakataon niya sa pag-ibig ang tuluyang magpapabagsak sa kanya?

The night my parents died, I was found amongst the ashes of our home. My eyes glowed red, and my hair had been altered to a flaming hue to match. My pack ostracised me, deeming me responsible for the death of my beloved parents. For years, I have been treated like a slave and was underfed, bullied, and abused. The son of the Alpha, Jordan, and my cousin Ruth were the worst offenders. Yet, I endured as I planned my escape. When I turn nineteen, I am out of here. Or so I thought. One night, out of the blue, Jordan kisses me, everything changes, and I find myself falling in love with the one who was my tormentor. So naive, so foolish, just when I think I will have a happy ending, reality slaps me in the face.

He has always appeared in my mind when I most needed him, his presence always comforting me. Is this the end of my story? I have lost hope and the will to live.
