Big Uke Small Seme

Aku adalah Cecilia, seorang gadis biasa yang hidup di jalanan. Namun suatu saat hidupku berubah setelah Marques Magrita menjadikanku sebagai anak angkat. Seperti mimpi indah dalam semalam, kupikir itu memang benar adanya. Tapi ada sesuatu yang ternyata mereka sembunyikan dariku. Mereka menjadikanku sebagai 'pengganti' putri yang asli untuk menikahi seorang Duke haus darah yang bahkan membunuh kedua orang tuanya sendiri. Ya, tidak ada yang bisa di percaya di dunia ini selain diriku sendiri. "Apa kau akan pergi setelah membuat semua kekacauan ini? Istriku?" Salah satu orang yang paling kubenci, adalah pria ini. Suamiku. Dengan mudahnya dia berkata seperti itu setelah membantai satu keluarga dihadapanku. "Kau Gila, Revanov." "Iya, aku memang gila. Itu semua karenamu, Sayang." Bisakah aku lepas darinya?

Ang maging chef ang pinaka pangarap ni Everlee Moore talaga. Lahat na kasi meron siya kaya nakatutok lang siya sa pangarap niya. Sa ikakasiya niya. Pinanganak siyang may gintong kutsara na sa bibig. Hindi na niya kailangang magtrabaho din sa kumpanya nila dahil nandyan naman ang mga kapatid niya. Gustong-gusto niyang magluto. Para sa kanya, food is life. At iyon ang naging dahilan para mag-enroll siya sa isang cooking school sa England. Dalawang school iyon. Isa sa Bedfordshire, kung saan kasalukuyang Duke si Davey Kristoff or DK Ward Collin. Matalik na makaibigan ang pamilya nila. Kaya humingi siya nang tulong dito nang mawala ang bagahe niya sa airport. Walang natirang gamit sa kanya at walang naibalik. Kinupkop siya nito at pinatira sa palasyong tinitirhan nito. Hindi pwedeng malaman ng magulang niya ang nangyari sa kanya, dahil baka pababalikin siya ng mga ito sa Pilipinas. Kaya inilihim nila ni DK ang lahat. Pero hindi akalain ni Everlee na may mabubuong pagmamahalan sa kanila ni DK habang nasa poder siya nito. Akala niya dahil sa utang na loob lang kaya siya pumayag na maging Duchess ng Bedford. No. Mahal na pala niya si DK. Ngunit isang aksidente ang pumutol sa pagmamahalang iyon. Hindi siya maalala ni DK na pinakasalan siya nito. Dahil sa respeto nito umano sa magulang at kapatid niya, dinivorce siya nito bago pa malaman ng pamilya niya. Kaya nang muli silang magkita sa Pilipinas, tanging sambit lang ni Everlee sa sarili sa tuwing nakikita si DK, she once married that Duke…

***“Then came the words that shattered her world. 'I need a divorce,' Dennis said, his voice cold and bitter. Cardi froze.”*** Cardi Belmont was born into zillions—but all she ever wanted was real love. On the day the city waited to witness the union of two dynasties—Cardi Belmont and Alex Carlson—Cardi vanished. She didn’t want a marriage built on wealth or status. She wanted Dennis Blake. A simple man. A humble man. A man she believed would love her for who she was… not for her last name. In order to live a quiet life as the person Dennis believed her to be—a regular girl from nowhere—she gave up everything she had, including her mansion, name, and legacy. However, when Cardi eventually chooses to tell him the truth after two years of marriage, he beats her to it—with a truth of his own: He’s leaving her. For someone richer. Now, the woman who gave up everything for love has been dumped like a trash bag… and one question burns louder than all: How will Dennis react when he realizes he had dumped a wealthy lady for a rich one?

I quietly dump the sleeping pills Preston gave me and pretend to be clueless. Then, I lose myself in a night of passion with Rowan. … The next morning, right in front of Preston, I smile sweetly and say, "Honey, you were incredible last night. I've never felt so good." His expression darkens. "Do you prefer the man I am by day, or the one who takes you at night?" I act bashful, tugging on his sleeve. "Both. But I especially love the one who knows how to satisfy me at night."

Kakailanganin mo palitan ang degree certificate mo, documentation, at passport sa oras na gawin mo ito.” Tumango si Noelle Anderson. “Sigurado ako.” Sinubukan siyang kumbinsihin ng empleyado. “Hassle para sa mga matatanda na palitan ang pangalan nila, at maganda naman ang kasalukuyan mo na pangalan.

Celia Johnson, my boss's sister-in-law, joined the company as the finance director and announced that all reimbursements must strictly follow the standards. I spent an entire week running around for the company and finally closed a five-hundred-thousand-dollar deal. Because the client had used two extra packs of paper towels, the per-person amount for their meal ended up eight dollars over the limit. Celia folded her arms, glanced at the reimbursement form on my desk, and sneered. "Five hundred and eight dollars?" "Yes. Last night at The Peak Restaurant, where we closed Richard's deal. Zack was there too," I explained patiently. "Eight dollars over the per-person limit. Not reimbursable," Celia said coldly. I tried to reason with her. "This was a special case. The client is high-level, and the deal amount is large, and Zack personally said it would be fully reimbursed last night." She returned the reimbursement form to me. "I don't care who said that. Don't think closing a five-hundred-thousand-dollar contract lets you ignore company rules. Reimbursements must all follow policies. Everyone will follow them to the letter." I took a deep breath. I knew arguing with her head-on would get me nowhere, so I called Zack directly. Zack said, "I did say it would be reimbursed, but I never said company rules could be ignored. It's just five hundred. And you still get commission from closing the deal. You young people need to have perspective." I stopped arguing. I turned around and refused the delivery containing the hard copy of the five-hundred-thousand-dollar cooperation contract, smiling as I explained, "Company rules say all cash on delivery packages must be refused. "Also, today is my last day here. Starting tomorrow, I work for Richard's company. As the client, I will be setting the rules this time."

The next day I woke up, I am now the fiance of the Duke of Dubois Castle, or known as Lemon. “I am a demon who lives by desire and greed, you have yielded with the contract that you have exchanged with your life?” “Then what do you want?” “I want the whole of you Veta Le Blanchet, not just your blood, heart and soul, it is the whole of you.” Theroux Claude, the third prince of the kingdom. “Lady Le Blanchet, just how can you stand still this demon duke? If you ever get tired of him, you are always welcome to my palace.” Another troublesome man, my childhood friend when I was at the academy, Durand Gagnon. “I have attained this nickname not just because I follow all his Majesty’s order, but because I want to have a stronghold in the knight position so that I can support you my Lady, remember that my oath is only for you.” Then, what is my cousin thinking that he would say such things? “Sister, I have finally inherited the title of the Baron, please come back to our fief, and I will make sure to bring back the glory of our family!” As I try to relinquish the past, the more troublesome it becomes. Is clinging to the tiny bit of my life a wrong choice? And why is the temple spying on me? “Lady Le Blanchet is the only descendant of the family, you shouldn’t involve yourself farther with the Demon Duke.” “It’s done my Lady, as long as it is you, I can give everything, even if I destroy this Kingdom.” Hold on, just what on earth this demon wants from me?
