Bang Bed

Sabi nila, ang buhay daw ay isang walang katapusang pakikibaka. Minsan, ang mga labang kailangan mong pagtagumpayan ay yaong mga hindi mo inaasahan. Handa ka ba sa anumang hamon ng buhay? Gaano kahanda ang puso mo sa mga bagay na ni sa hinagap ay hindi mo akalaing haharapin mo? Paano kung kinakailangan mong mahiwalay sa pinakamahalagang bahagi ng pagkatao mo? muli ka bang babangon para magpatuloy, o hahayaan ang sariling malugmok sa sitwasyong kinalagyan mo? Sa kabilang dako, gaano kalaking sakrepisyo ang handa mong ibigay para sa isang buhay na nakasalalay sayo? Handa mo bang talikdan ang lahat para sa isang responsibilidad na biglang naatang sa mga balikat mo? Ano ang mga hamon na kaya mong suungin, mga pagbabagong kaya mong harapin para sa isang bagay na hindi mo naman lubos na ma-a-angkin? Ang pag-ibig ba ay laging may depinisyon? Lagi ba itong may basihan at kaagapay na kondisyon? Pano kung ang pagmamahal ay ipinagkait ng panahon, mabibigyan pa ba ng isang pagkakataon? Ito ang mga tanong na minsan ko nang naitanong sa sarili ko, at hanggang ngayo'y gumugulo sa isipan ko. Simple lang naman sana ang mithihin ko, subalit bakit ipinagkait ito sa akin? Naalala ko pa kung paano nagsimula ang lahat...

"To have you here in my bed with me, breathing on me, your hair in my mouth and my name leaving your beautiful lips is what I define Nirvana "

It began with me waking up one morning and finding myself on a strangers bed , completely naked, a sound I couldn't recognize as a scream came out of my mouth. Marry me .................

Akala ni Bhemzly Acson ay habambuhay siyang untouchable. Lahat ay kayang paikutin, kayang tapakan—pati si Jack Devera, ang tahimik at simpleng lalaking minsang naging laruan ng kanyang kabataan. Ngunit paglipas ng panahon, bumaliktad ang mundo. Ngayon, si Jack na ang nasa itaas—isang respetadong billionaire na hindi lang ubod ng talino, kundi kontrolado rin ang halos lahat… kasama na ang kapalaran ni Bhem. At sa isang kasunduang wala siyang takas, napilitang tanggapin ni Bhem ang papel bilang asawang-kontrata ng lalaking minsan niyang sinaktan. Ang hindi niya alam, hindi lang paghihiganti ang dahilan ni Jack. Sa ilalim ng malamig nitong anyo, may lalaking matagal nang may pagtatangi sa babaeng nang-api sa kanya noon. At bang kasunduang ito, ay hindi lang para turuan siya ng leksyon—kundi para protektahan siya, ilayo sa mas malaking kapahamakan, at muling kilalanin ang pusong dati’y binasag. Ngunit sa pagitan ng galit at pag-aalangan, unti-unti ring lumilitaw ang tunay na kulay ng bawat damdamin. Kapag ang poot ay nagsimulang tumiklop sa harap ng muling pagtibok ng puso—may pag-asa pa bang maging totoo ang isang kasal na nagsimula sa kasinungalingan? Isang kwentong puno ng emosyon, sikretong hindi inaasahan, at isang lalaking kahit may sugat sa nakaraan—ay piniling mahalin pa rin ang babaeng naging dahilan nito.

We stood across from each other, with a bed in the middle. The bed was surrounded with golden pots of burning incense, the fragrance intoxicating. On one side of the bed stood a warrior wolf from my pack, and on the other side was a vampire from Diego's pride, both present to guard us. Chairs were set in both sides of the large room, with the werewolves occupying the right side and the vampires on the other side. Everyone stood when the head witches of the three covens arrived and took their seats adjacent to the two parties. " Creatures of the underworld, we have all gathered here to witness something spectacular, something unheard of, the mating of a vampire and a werewolf. These two from both sides have claimed to be mated to each other even though they are not of the same kind, so tonight, underneath the full moon, we shall witness them in bed to attest if the Moon Goddess truly destined them for each other. Let the drums roll!", one of the witches addressed everyone. The incense had aroused us . My were hard and erect, and I could clearly see the bulge in Diego's pants as he stood across. The drums signalled us to begin the mating process, and we got onto the bed. We gently , suppressing the urge to tear each other's clothes off. I felt a bit insecure and ashamed. I could literally feel my alpha's eyes on me and could only imagine the disdain that will be written on his face. Diego's father too was watching, together with their maester. Everyone we knew was there to watch us have and I just couldn't bring myself to feel comfortable. Most importantly, I couldn't help but wonder, what if we die mating?

Alora is no princess and her life is not a bed of roses despite being the Alpha's daughter. Her mother hates her for being weak and been born a female. Her sister bullies her with every chance she gets. Her father is ignorant about her, turning a blind eye to everything. When her mate chooses her sister over her, she is shattered. During her mate choosing ceremony, she is drugged and ends in bed with the lycan prince of Alistar kingdom. A contract marriage, that's what he offers her in exchange of her freedom in two years.

Before my wedding to Sophie Bennett, the impoverished student I've been sponsoring for ten years posts a photo on social media. "Successfully moved into the new apartment. Soph prepared such a big, soft bed for me!" In the photo, Zachary Wells lies sprawled on the wedding bed I bought for Sophie and my new home, taking a smug selfie with his hand waving at the camera. He's even wearing my wedding ring on his ring finger. Zachary also comments on his own post, "Just thinking about how I'm the first man to lie on this bed fills me with overwhelming happiness!" I reply with a question mark under his comment. The next second, Sophie's call comes through. "I'm just letting Zach experience the warmth of home. Why are you being so passive-aggressive?" In the background, I hear Zachary softly trying to calm her down. "Soph, he's not worth getting angry over." Hearing that, Sophie laughs and banters with him, then abruptly hangs up on me. The two of us have been together for ten years, from ages 18 to 28, and we've finally made it to our wedding day. But now, I no longer intend to go through with it.

She wanted an autograph. She woke up in a billionaire’s bed with no memory of how she got there. To save his reputation, Nathan Blake offers Ivy a year and half contract marriage.

"What would you do for the people you love?" When her sister and her sister's husband can't have a child due to her sister's health condition, the younger sister is asked to carry their baby for them. It seems like an impossible choice, pero wala siyang ibang magawa kundi sundin ito, bilang kabayaran sa ginawa ng ate niya. As the pregnancy goes on, she begins to question how much she can truly give up. Kaya niya bang dalhin ang bigat ng sakripisyong ito? Paano naman ang sarili niya? What would you feel if you will be the surrogate mother of your sister and her husband?

Paano kung ang tahimik at masaya mong buhay ay biglang magbago sa kadahilanang ipinagkasundo ka sa lalaking hindi mo naman lubusang kilala, at higit sa lahat... lalaking hindi mo naman mahal? Lalaking walang ibang ginawa kun’di ang husgahan at parusahan ka sa kasalanang hindi mo naman ginawa! Maaari nga ba mabago ang kapalaran ni Pipay sa piling ng asawa na kailanman ay puro parusa ang ipinalasap sa kaniya? Maaari nga bang mauwi sa pagmamahalan at happy ending ang pagsasama nila ng kaniyang asawa na si Hector PenaVega?
