Ben 10 And Girlfriend

Serena Alcaraz lives a life of survival working as a waitress, struggling to pay bills, and taking care of her sick mother. She has no time for love, especially not for arrogant, rich men who think the world revolves around them. Enter Damian Cruz, the cold and ruthless billionaire feared in the business world. To stop his family from pressuring him into marriage, he needs a woman who won’t fall for him, someone he can control. When his path crosses with Serena, he sees the perfect candidate. Damian offers her a deal, pretend to be his girlfriend, live in his luxurious world, and in return, he’ll give her enough money to save her mother. Serena knows it’s dangerous to get involved with a man like him, but desperation leaves her no choice. What begins as a cold arrangement slowly turns into something neither of them expected. The poor waitress who wanted nothing from him suddenly becomes the only woman Damian can’t let go of. But in a world full of power, lies, and family expectations, will their fake relationship survive when real feelings start to blur the line between love and the deal?

I’d just wrapped up a short trip with my daughter, Elara. On the way back, I figured I’d swing by the Hale, our family’s casino, to check in on my son, Cassian. Maybe grab dinner together. I didn’t expect to be mistaken for his latest fling. Correction: not mistaken—accused. Violently. “You think you can just waltz in here like some queen?” she hissed. “I’m the woman Cassian loves! What kind of whore are you? And is this your bastard daughter with him?” She locked us in the basement. No phone. No light. Just concrete walls and the stench of mildew and madness. Then came the fists. She slapped me across the face—again and again—until my skin stung and my ears rang. When that didn’t satisfy her, she pulled a gun and aimed low. The bullet tore through my knee. I bit back a scream, shielding Elara with my body. “You need to die, whore,” she spat. One of her men hesitated, “We should at least tell Mr. Hale first. If we are going to kill these two in his casino.” Lila of course said no. But that man brought Cassian anyway. My son stepped into this dark little room like it was any other Tuesday—until he saw me. His whole body went still. The blood drained from his face. And then, in the smallest, most broken voice I’d ever heard from him, he whispered, “Mom? What are you doing in my basement?”

私は学生の頃から付き合っていた久保直樹（くぼ なおき）と、卒業と同時に籍を入れた。 一から直樹が会社を立ち上げるのを、ずっと隣で支えてきた日々は、本当に大変だった。 私たちの子供が白血病にかかった時でさえ、お金が無かった私たちは、ただ見ていることしかできなかった。 それから5年後、私は再び新しい命を授かった。 その時には、直樹も若手実業家として成功していた。 人生これからだと思った矢先、あるメッセージが2通、私の元に届いた。【直樹さんのこと好きになっちゃった】 【いくら欲しい？直樹さんと別れてくれるなら、言い値で払うからさ】 メッセージの送り主は、山田家の甘やかされて育った娘、山田佳奈（やまだ かな）だった。パーティーで直樹に一目惚れしたらしい。 一晩考えた私は、翌日佳奈から送られてきた小切手に金額を書き込んだ。「10億円。これで私と直樹の10年を買い取ってください」

結婚七年目。御堂蒼真は平穏すぎる日々に退屈し、外で倉田結衣という女子大生を囲っていた。 か弱く儚げな結衣は、その身体で彼を骨抜きにし、一ヶ月もの間家に帰らせなかった。私がいくら呼び戻そうとしても、全くの無駄だった。 息子の三歳の誕生日。私は高熱で火のように熱くなった我が子を抱きしめ、別荘の外にひざまずいて蒼真に帰ってきてほしいと泣き叫んだ。 だが蒼真は、ガラス窓の向こう側で、狂ったように何度も結衣の身体を求めていた。 息子は、彼らの甘い嬌声が響く中、私の腕の中で静かに息を引き取ったのだ。 葬儀の日、蒼真は私を抱きしめて号泣し、家庭に戻って私だけを愛し抜くと誓った。 私はそれを受け入れた。 息子の最期の願いが、パパとママに仲直りしてほしいというものだったからだ。 四年後。息子が通うはずだった幼稚園が、ある動画を公開した。 動画の中では、蒼真が美しく着飾った結衣の肩を抱き、その腕には三歳くらいの男の子が抱かれていた。 男の子は満面の笑みでカメラに向かってトロフィーを掲げている。 「パパ、ママ、僕たちって世界で一番幸せな家族だね！」

My boyfriend's "best female friend" was angry again. Why? Because for our five-year anniversary, he got a gift just for me—and forgot about hers. Simone Baker threw a complete fit, sobbing and making a huge scene. Scott Tanner immediately blocked me and removed me on Instagram, then changed our matching couple profile pictures. "Girls can be so dramatic," he said. "Once I've calmed her down, we'll switch them back." I reminded him, "That makes a hundred times now." He just smiled and gave me a quick kiss. "I know. I'll make it fast this time." That night, Simone posted a status update: [Your effort was acceptable. You get three days of freedom.] Almost immediately, Scott unblocked me. [Okay, babe. We can put our couple pictures back now.] But then a male account—using my half of the matching photo—sent him a friend request, followed by a single question mark. [Since when are couple photos a group project?]

Anim na taon ang nakalipas nang walang-awang hiniwalayan ng mayamang si Celine Villareal ang scholar na si Jaxson De Silva. Ngayon, nagkabaliktad na ang ikot ng mundo. Si Celine ay naghihirap at baon sa utang mula sa isang mapang-abusong pagsasama, habang si Jax ay isa nang tanyag at makapangyarihang abogado. Muli silang pinagtagpo ng tadhana nang si Jax ang naging tanging pag-asa ni Celine upang makalaya.

On the six-year anniversary of my relationship with my girlfriend, Sheila Loom, I buy some groceries with the intention to surprise her with a home-cooked meal. After I'm done, I head over to Sheila's place right away. That's when the reel I was watching automatically skips to the next one. It's a live stream where people call in to discuss legal matters. A familiar feminine voice drifts to my ears at that moment. "My boyfriend shelled out 500 thousand dollars to put me through school. I've already paid ten thousand back to him. "At first, I wanted to clear the debt before breaking up with him, but I don't want to wait any longer. If he insists on taking me to court after the breakup, can I still pay the debt off slowly?" Almost immediately, comments flood into the comments section, chewing her out and calling her a heartless wench. But the voice replies calmly, "If I truly were heartless, I wouldn't have paid him back to begin with. I no longer have feelings for him. Are you saying that I should sacrifice the rest of my life just so I can pay 500 thousand dollars back to him?" My heart skips a beat at that moment. It's true that I've spent 500 thousand dollars putting Sheila through school over the years. But I feel that I'm overthinking it, seeing as she's never brought up the matter of wanting to pay me back before. After I call Sheila repeatedly for half an hour, she finally answers my latest phone call. At the same time, the woman's phone call that's connected to the live stream is cut off. "It's my birthday today, Sheila—" "Have you secretly come looking for me again? Didn't we agree that we'll only meet up after you've successfully gotten into college?" I don't get to finish the rest of my sentence. Suddenly, I catch a glimpse of the notebook sitting on the corner of Sheila's table. The first page shows "debt repayment ledger". Some of the details are as shown. "The SAT study materials I bought for him: 188 dollars." "The Uber fees I've paid for him: 35 dollars." "The cologne I've gifted him on his birthday: 380 dollars." "Total: ten thousand dollars now paid."
