Banat Sa Crush

For three agonizing years, my mother struggled with kidney failure. Finally, after all the waiting and the constant dialysis, she was next in line for a transplant. Hope seemed so close. But then, my husband, Zachary Levi, an esteemed nephrology professor, did the unforgivable. He surreptitiously gave his lover's mother the kidney that was intended for my mother. He said almost dismissively, "Ella's mother couldn't wait any longer. Your mother's been on dialysis for so long, she's not going to die anytime soon." Later, my mother passed away. I called Zachary one final time. Yet, it was a woman who answered. "Margaret, right? Zachary's in the shower. Is there something you need?" I stared at my mother's smile on the gravestone, and an overwhelming emptiness spread through me. "It's nothing. Just wanted to talk about the divorce."

...In the name of crush, love and lies...They say broken people can't fall in love, right? But what if love really lies? Fighting depression and bipolarity along with eating disorder and coupled with fighting the urge not to take her own life, can things get anymore confusing for Fay when a silly crush transpire into something else? They say obsession is sweet, but when it leads to infatuation, it tends to get more dangerous and powerful. "Can I kiss you?" He whispered, his lips hovering above hers slightly, their lips almost touching. She shook her head negatively, her lips unconsciously dying for his taste. "Alright." His breath out, untangling his fingers from her hair as he made to move his lips away from hers but she pulled his head back quickly before muttering against his small pink lips. "Kiss me." © Josephine. C. Ivy

Kapalit ng dalawang pari na bigla na lang nawala na parang bula, dumating sa Iglesia Catolica de Villapureza si Father Merlindo "Mer" Fabian na may sariling bagahe rin na dinadala. Lingid sa kanyang kaalaman, may mas malaking problema pa pala siyang kakaharapin sa kanyang pagbabalik mula Vaticano kabilang na doon ang batang babae na nagngangalang Minggay at ang mga lihim nito na pilit niyang itinatago.

Elle a failli mourir sur la table d'opération à cause d'une hémorragie due à une grossesse extra-utérine, tandis que son mari, dans une indifférence glaciale, allumait des bougies d'anniversaire pour sa maîtresse, fêtant l'événement avec ostentation. Mariés depuis quatre ans, elle s'humiliait jusqu'à se nier elle-même, mais le cœur de son mari restait de glace. Jusqu'au jour où elle l'a vu chérir la fille de son ennemi, la couvant du regard comme un trésor : elle a alors perdu tout espoir, a laissé les papiers du divorce et est partie la tête haute. De retour dans le monde du travail, elle s'est investie à fond dans sa carrière, éblouissant toute la ville, et devenant la coqueluche des cercles mondains parisiens, convoitée par les élites. Voyant les prétendants se presser autour d'elle, son mari glacé n'a plus supporté. Dans un accès de possessivité, il a écarté ses rivaux et l'a plaquée contre un mur. « Madame Ravot, je refuse le divorce ! »

Ça faisait sept ans que j'étais avec André Gaudreau, mon fiancé, chirurgien. On avait organisé 66 mariages, mais à chaque fois, il avait tout annulé à cause de Célia Allard. La première fois, Célia avait fait une erreur de dosage à un patient. Il m'avait dit d'attendre son retour. Je l'avais attendu toute la journée. La deuxième fois, Célia était tombée dans sa douche. On était sur le point d'échanger les alliances, mais il était parti sans hésiter, me laissant face aux rires des invités. On avait enchaîné 65 cérémonies. À chaque fois, Célia trouvait une excuse pour le faire partir. La 65e fois ? Son chien était soi-disant mourant, et elle menaçait de se suicider. Ma mère avait failli faire une crise cardiaque de rage. Mais rien n'avait retenu André... Après, il était venu s'excuser à genoux. Il disait qu'il avait juste pitié pour Célia, parce qu'elle était orpheline. Que moi, j'étais la seule qu'il aimait vraiment. Je lui avais donné une dernière chance. Il m'avait encore déçue. J'ai définitivement tiré un trait et ai quitté André pour rejoindre une ONG médicale. « Désormais, inutile qu'on se revoie », me suis-je dit.

Paano kung ang babaeng anak ng taong pumatay sa iyong pamilya ay ang babaeng pinakamamahal mo? Handa mo bang isakripisyo ang pag-ibig mo kapalit ng iyong paghihiganti?

Le Maître de la famille Moreau a été assassiné par une famille rivale, laissant derrière lui sa femme veuve, Irina. Son frère cadet, mon mari Gabriel, a pris sa place en tant que Maître de famille. Ce titre était assorti d'un devoir : assurer la pérennité de la lignée de Moreau en donnant un enfant à la veuve de son frère. « Adrienne est stérile depuis des années, c'est à Irina de faire ce qu'elle n'a pas pu faire, la famille Moreau ne peut pas être sans héritier. » La voix d'Isoline était pleine de mépris. Gabriel m'a serrée contre lui en murmurant des promesses. « Dès qu'Irina sera enceinte, je jure de ne plus jamais la toucher. » « Adrienne, tu es la seule que j'aime. » Trois mois, et il n'a pas mis les pieds dans notre chambre. Après qu'il m'ait ignorée devant tout le monde, choisissant Irina encore et encore, je suis finalement partie. J'ai pris ce qui m'appartenait et j'ai laissé une chose en partant : un test ADN. C'était mon dernier cadeau à Gabriel.

Mr. Sebastian PANALO sa PuSo ng Kanyang Ex-wife ❤️Sa kanilang tatlong taong pagsasama, si Hailee ay naging masunuring asawa ni Zack. Akala niya noon, ang pagmamahal at pag-aalaga niya ay matunaw ang malamig na puso ni Zack, ngunit nagkamali siya. Sa wakas, hindi na niya napigilan ang pagkabigo at piniling wakasan ang kasal. Noon pa man ay iniisip ni Edmund na boring at matamlay lang ang kanyang asawa. Kaya laking gulat ko nang biglang binato ni Hailee ang mga papeles ng diborsyo sa kanyang mukha sa harap ng lahat sa anniversary party ng Sebastian Group. Nakakahiya! Pagkatapos noon, inakala ng lahat na hindi na magkikita ang dating mag-asawa, maging si Hailee. Muli, mali ang iniisip niya. Makalipas ang ilang sandali, sa isang seremonya ng parangal, umakyat si Hailee sa entablado upang tanggapin ang parangal para sa pinakamahusay na senaryo. Ang kanyang dating asawang si Zack ang siyang nagbigay ng parangal sa kanya. Habang inaabot nito ang trophy ay bigla nitong inabot ang kamay nito at buong kababaang-loob na nakiusap sa harap ng audience, "Hailee, I'm sorry kung hindi kita pinahalagahan noon. Can you please give me another chance?" Walang pakialam na tumingin sa kanya si Hailee. "I'm sorry, Mr. Sebastian. Ang inaalala ko lang ngayon ay ang negosyo ko." Nadurog ang puso ni Zack sa isang milyong piraso. "Hailee, hindi ko talaga kayang mabuhay ng wala ka." Pero lumayo lang ang dating asawa. Hindi ba mas mabuting mag-concentrate na lang siya sa kanyang career? Maaabala lang siya ng mga lalaki—lalo na ang dati niyang asawa.

Pagkatapos ideklara ng doktor na brain dead ang anak kong si Mia Powell, kinumbinsi ako ng asawa kong si Liam Powelle na pirmahan ang organ donation consent form. Kasalukuyan ako noong nalulunod sa pagdadalamhati at malapit na ring mawala ang katinuan sa aking isipan. Dito ko aksidenteng nadiskubre na ang doktor ng aking anak na si Blair Lincoln ay ang dating kasintahan ng aking asawa. Nagsinungaling sila sa pagiging brain dead ni Mia para pirmahan ko ang form at makuha ang puso nito na kanilang gagamitin para mailigtas ang anak ni Blair na si Sophia. Pinanood ko ang pagsundo ni Liam kay Sophia sa ospital. Nakangiting umalis ang mga ito para bang isa silang perpekto at masayang pamilya. Nang kumprontahin ko ang mga ito, agad nila akong itinulak para mahulog mula sa isang building na siyang ikinamatay ko. Nang mabigyan ako ng ikalawang pagkakataon, bumalik ako sa araw kung kailan ko dapat pirmahan ang organ donation form. Tahimik akong nangako habang tinititigan ko ang nakahigang si Mia kaniyang hospital bed. Buhay ang sisingilin ko sa lalaking iyon at sa ex nito nang dahil sa ginawa nila kay Mia.

Eight years after my boyfriend’s mom made us break up, that strong-willed, wealthy woman suddenly showed up again. “After you left, Nigel’s hair turned white overnight. He’s been in and out of mental hospitals so many times… “Please, come back. If you don’t, he might die!” I touched the scar on my forehead and gave a bitter smile. “But I’m no longer young or pretty.” She got on her knees and begged, “If you come back, I’ll give you ten million to help pay for your mom’s treatment, no matter what happens.” For my sick mom, I decided to return to Nigel Jefferson. “But now that I’m no longer pretty… would he still love me?”
