"Bumalik ka na sa akin, Chantal.. pangako, walang anumang namamagitan sa amin ni Laurice.. kababata ko lang siya, isang kliyente.." nagsusumamo si Calvin kay Chantal. "Ano bang akala mo, Calvin? hiniwalayan kita ng dahil lang diyan? hindi siya ang problema, ikaw! ang pagtakas mo sa ating mga alitan at ang pag ignore mo sa akin sa tuwing nagagalit ka, ang pagiging malamig mo, iyan ang problema ko sayo! Ikaw ang nagmulat sa akin, kung gaano kapangit magpakasal, kaya ngayon, natatakot na akong magmahal!" saka nagmamadaling hinila niya ang kanyang kamay palayo sa lalaki.

I spent two years drowning in guilt for an accident that wasn't my fault. Two years watching my husband transform into a monster who blamed me for the paralysis a drunk driver caused. Two years sacrificing pieces of myself for forgiveness I'd never earn. And then Adrian made one request that shattered what little dignity I had left. His birthday wish: Two weeks in Italy. His two best friends. My body. He wanted me to give them what he could no longer provide. I said yes because I didn't know how else to survive his threats, his manipulation, his systematic destruction of everything I used to be. What I didn't expect was how they'd look at me when I agreed—like I was cheap, disposable, exactly as worthless as I'd always believed. Matteo Greco touched me with hands that worshipped while his words cut deep, the Italian architect whose warmth turned ice-cold the moment I knocked on his door. Kian Ashford used me like I was nothing while his grey eyes promised I could be everything, the lawyer whose control shattered the same night mine did. They broke me completely. And broke their rules together with their hatred for eachother. Because Kian isn't just a lawyer—he's a Werewolf Alpha in a three-piece suit and a racer at night. Matteo isn't just an architect—he's a Lycan Alpha hiding behind Italian charm and motorcycle leather. And somehow this completely human woman triggered something in both of them that should be impossible. Mate bonds don't lie. But neither do the species that have been enemies for centuries. A dark paranormal romance that will leave you breathless, aching, and absolutely dripping. This is not a gentle love story...this is brutal, beautiful, and will wreck you in the best possible way.

Hurt, betrayed, and killed by the people she trusted with her life, Kiana Frost faces a brutal death when she least expects it. But during her last painful moments, she offers a silent prayer and prays for a second chance. The heavens are on her side because she finds herself reborn and ready to punish all those who dared to betray her and the people she loved. But it's not going to be easy and she will need protection, which only one man is powerful enough to give. Arthur Reed. He is cold, powerful, and a billionaire but the only problem is that he's also her ex. Will he help her even though they didn't part on good terms? Desperate and left with no choice, she approaches him but what she doesn't know is that he never stopped secretly loving her. Will fate be on their side and rekindle their love while Kiana gets the revenge she deserves?

“Let’s have a deal. Let me be your real wife just for one month, Dashiel.” Isang simpleng hiling iyon. Parang huling pakiusap ng isang babaeng pagod na pagod nang masaktan. Para kay Addison Leigh Castillo, iyon na lang ang natitira sa kanya, ang huling piraso ng dignidad kapalit ng pagmamahal na ibinigay niya kahit kailan ay hindi niya naranasang masuklian. Alam na ni Addison simula pa lang na ang kasal nila ay hindi dahil sa pag-ibig. Pinakasalan siya ni Dashiel Kristian Gutierrez dahil sa obligasyon at sa kagustuhan ng lola nito. Walang lambing, walang yakap, walang titig na may damdamin. Tahimik lang ang bahay, malamig, at hindi kailanman naging tahanan. Pero kahit ganoon, kumapit pa rin si Addison. Sinubukan niyang maging mabuting asawa. Tahimik siyang umasa na baka balang araw, matutunan siyang mahalin ni Dashiel. Hanggang sa unti-unti siyang naubos. Gusto nang pakasalan ni Dashiel ang babaeng mahal nito talaga. At ang mas masakit, buong pamilya nito ang pumayag. Doon tuluyang gumuho si Addison. Kaya gumawa siya ng isang huling kahilingan. Isang buwan lang. Isang buwan na tratuhin siya bilang tunay na asawa. Isang buwan na maramdaman kung ano ang pakiramdam na mahal ka. Pagkatapos noon, aalis na siya nang tuluyan. Para kay Dashiel, desperado lang si Addison. Isang babaeng ayaw pang bumitaw. Pero mali siya. Sa loob ng isang buwan, unti-unting nagbago ang lahat. Napansin niya ang mga ngiti ni Addison, ang tahimik pero buo nitong pagmamahal, at ang paraan ng pag-alis nito, walang reklamo, pero may iniwang sakit sa puso niya. Doon niya napagtanto ang lahat. Nang makita niya ang pagmamahal na matagal niyang binalewala, saka lang niya ito naramdaman. Pero huli na ba? O lalaban ba si Dashiel; sa pamilya, sa nakaraan, at sa sarili niyang pagkakamali, para sa isa pang pagkakataon? “One more chance,” bulong ng puso ni Dashiel. Pero handa pa bang bumalik si Addison… o tapos na talaga ang kwento nilang dalawa?

I had just gotten home when a parent in my son’s class group chat erupted: [Ms. Zinn, what kind of place are you running? Do you let just any random stray off the street become a teacher?] [My daughter came home, grabbed two forks, and tried to jump off the balcony. She said it was Miss Never who told her to!] The homeroom teacher panicked and denied it at once, insisting there was no such person as Miss Never at the kindergarten. She even posted the official teaching schedule in the chat to prove it. On the security footage, there was not a single trace of this so-called Miss Never. However, later, my son whispered to me in secret, “Mom, Miss Never is an old lady with a cat’s face.” “She says only kids can see her.”
