Ruthless... Silent... Deadly... These are only three things Aljand Falcis is known for. Wala siyang pakialam kung kamuhian siya ng maraming tao. Wala siyang pakialam kung marami siyang maging kaaway dahil sa pag-uugali niya. Ayon sa kaniya, 'The more, the merrier. Keep them coming, shitheads!' After Project 102, Aljand joined Foedus Corporation. He took the oath, and breathed its principle—blood and loyalty. He'll make sure that the Project 102 incident won't happen again. Kung kailangang maging matigas ang puso niya, he'll gladly be the strictest mafioso he could ever be. Pero paano niya magagawa 'yon kung makita niya lang si Tattiene Casabar ay automatiko nang lumalambot ang puso niya? He doesn't know why his heart always makes a somersault whenever this ambitious and eccentric woman is around. And to make it worse, binabagabag naman ng babae ang utak niya sa tuwing hindi niya ito nakikita. What is he supposed to do? Falling in love with a woman is never on his priority list. Avenging is all that he cares about. Or is it?

This book is a Standalone, you don't have to read the first two to relate to what happened, though I do recommend it. Book Three of the Bloodlust Series “Is this some kind of joke?” Kiara asked frowning in confusion, waking up in the familiar podium where she once grew up watching people die in front of her as she herself fought for her own life. “I don’t know, but I don’t like this” Richard said from beside Kiara. The two were trying to process how they even got here to begin with. People around them started coming to their senses as they woke up inside the podium. “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Bloodlust Games, The final chapter” ************************* Re-entering the Bloodlust games was never an option in Kiara’s life. But when revenge is on the line and both she and Richard are forced into them, they have nothing to do but survive, for it was either play and live. Or die…

My mother marries into the Patterson family with me after her divorce. She marries Thomas Patterson, the dean of a veterinary hospital. Meanwhile, I marry Walter Patterson, a firefighter captain and Thomas' son. On this day, there's a huge storm. I'm almost due for labor, but I still head to the hospital to pick my mother up after an operation. We head to the subway, but it ends up being flooded. I endure the labor contractions and call Walter with trembling hands, wanting to ask for help. He finally answers after hanging up on me 18 times. "What the hell do you want? How stupid can you be, calling me in such a huge storm? "I'm saving lives here! Tracy's foot was cut by glass while being saved, and I've just bandaged her wound. Now, I have to take her dog to Dad's hospital so he can save it. The dog is hanging by a thread; if you need help, get some other firefighter to do it! Don't pester me!" Later, the rescue team arrives. My mother and I are pushed to the back of the crowd, and people won't stop shoving us around. The floodwater rises, and I have no choice but to carry her on my back while trudging along the corridor. This continues for three hours. When we're finally rescued, my mother is already unconscious, and I end up losing my child, who's almost to term. My mother and I look at each other tearfully in the ward we share. I say, "Mom, I'm getting a divorce." She says, "It's not a big deal, sweetheart. I'll do it with you. I've done it once before—I know how this goes."

The day after my best friend, Sarah Blunt married Patrick, the second son of the Brosnan family, I too became a bride and wed Matthew, his older brother. She married a swimming champion, and I, the rock-climbing coach. We thought we had our futures all figured out. Then, something happened that summer. The four of us planned a getaway but Matthew and Patrick’s baby sister, Megan joined us and our peaceful trip became a crowded affair.  While rock climbing, disaster struck—the rope snapped, and all five of us plummeted into the river below. The brothers rushed frantically to save Megan, leaving Sarah and me at the mercy of the river’s current, battered and tossed like driftwood. By the time the rescue team pulled us from the water, we were bruised, scraped, and utterly spent. In the hospital, Megan and I received devastating news that would change everything.  “You’ve been pregnant for 40 days, Ma’am. How could you put yourself in such a risky situation? Your baby survived, but your friend lost hers.” Shaken, I called Matthew to tell him about the pregnancy. His anger cut through the line. “You’re angry that I went to Megs first and now you’re trying to fool me with a fake pregnancy? She’s my sister—it’s my duty to protect her!” Sarah faced her own storm. Patrick practically scoffed at her grief. “Miscarriage? Do you expect me to believe that? The doctors said you only had a 30% chance of conceiving. I can’t stand women who create drama out of nothing.” Both calls ended abruptly, leaving us stunned as we stared at each other in the sterile light of the hospital room. In that shared silence, we made our decision—we would leave these men behind and start anew, launching a business together. But when the brothers received our divorce papers, they showed up at my door in the middle of a storm, kneeling in the pouring rain, crying through the night for a second chance.

Dalam perjalanan ke bank untuk menyetor uang, aku tidak sengaja menemukan sebuah postingan: [Pernahkah Anda melakukan sesuatu yang sulit diungkapkan tanpa diketahui pasangan Anda?] Di bawah postingan, seorang netizen berkomentar : [Aku diam-diam mendaftarkan pernikahanku dengan cinta pertamaku, tapi pacarku masih menyetor uang ke rekening bersama kami. Dia benar-benar bodoh. Dia kira aku benar-benar ingin menabung untuk membeli rumah dan menikahinya.] [Sudah ada 1,3 miliyar di dalam rekening, ketika dia sudah menabung sampai 1,6 miliyar, aku akan diam-diam menariknya!] Aku melihat komentar itu banyak disukai, lalu melihat saldo rekeningku. Tidak lebih, tidak kurang, pas 1,3 miliyar. Ternyata pacarku dan cinta pertamanya telah mendaftarkan pernikahan mereka!
