Lingid sa kaalaman ni Apolo na nakatakdang mapasa-kaniya ang karugtong ng buhay sa kaniyang musika, kung kaya't naging dahilan ang kaniyang galit sa labis na kalbaryo nang mawala ang kaniyang Alpa. Manunumbalik ang kagandahan ng musika sa sandaling kalabitin na niya ang mga kwerdas niyon. Ngunit paano kung ang kaniyang hinahanap na Alpa at pana ay isang mortal na tao? At malaman niya na ito ay may taglay na kapangyarihan para pagyamanin ang musika sa sanlibutan? Kapalit nang hindi inaasahang pag-ibig ng nakatataas ng diyos ng araw at musika sa mortal na si Phana, piliin kaya nito na gawin siyang Alpa ng musika at pag-ibig? O ang gawin siyang pana ng katarungan? Mabibigyan kaya ng pag-asa ni Phana ang sarili para mahalin ang isang kagaya ni Apolo o ang harapin ang kaniyang napipintong kamatayan? Huli na ba para kay Apolo na umiibig na siya sa isang mortal? Kaya ba nilang manindigan gayung magkaiba ang kanilang mundong ginagalawan o ang maulit ang pagkakamali na noon ay kinasusuklaman ng diyos ng araw?

"Jika aku bisa memilih, aku lebih suka untuk tak menikah lagi. Agar suamiku kelak di Surga adalah kamu yang hingga kini mengisi hati."

“Jangan buka bagian sana, kita masih di jalanan, aduh memalukan sekali!” Di depan sebuah bar pada tengah malam, aku dan pacarku mabuk berat hingga tersungkur di pinggiran trotoar. Hal yang tak kusangka adalah pacarku tiba-tiba menindih bokongku dan mulai menarik celana dalamku. Aku mengenakan rok pendek dan hanya ada selapis kain tipis di dalamnya. Jika sampai terlepas, bukannya semuanya akan terlihat oleh orang-orang? Baru saja hendak menolak, tapi saat aku menoleh ke belakang, barulah sadar bahwa ternyata pria ini bukan pacarku. ….

When my mother falls gravely ill, my husband, who has asthenospermia, promises to help me think of something. So, I give him all my savings. Despite being pregnant, I get a part-time job doing DoorDash deliveries. However, I see my husband when I pass by a realtor's office. He's supposed to be hard at work like me, but he's buying a place for his childhood friend. He even has his arm around her. "That old hag thinks I only earn that little each month. Don't worry, Yvette. I only give her 10% of what I earn. The rest goes to you!" I hold back my tears and grab the hem of his shirt, wanting to borrow some money for my mother's treatment. However, he shoves me away irritably. "I give you 2000 dollars a month! Isn't that enough? Have you spent it all on useless things?" He leaves without another look back, ignoring my cries and pleas. He also kicks me, effectively murdering the child he's always dreamed of having. Later, he grovels at my feet and begs for forgiveness. It's too bad I've already given up on him. I don't want him anymore.

Terlihat seorang pria dengan rahang yang tegas tengah duduk santai sambil membaca koran, tiba-tiba... "Plak!" satu tamparan keras berhasil mendarat di pipinya. Namun, dirinya tetap tenang dan fokus melihat ke depan sambil membenahi kemejanya. "Kau bahkan tak pantas di sebut sebagai seorang ayah!" teriak orang yang menamparnya tadi. Seketika pria itu mengerutkan dahinya "Apa yang kau maksud?" "Jangan pura-pura tidak tau!" tangannya mencekik leher pria itu. "Padahal kau sudah tau konsekuensi nya jika bertindak seperti ini padaku. Ck! Dasar gadis yang bodoh!" umpatan itu sukses membuat cengkraman di lehernya semakin kuat. "Jangan pernah panggil aku dengan sebutan itu! Aku punya nama! Panggil aku ALUNA!"

My name is Lennie Sherman, and I am a python handler. However, I gradually realize that the python doesn't quite like me. Every time we meet, it will always use its tail to hit my private part and then hiss in my face.

I was the second princess of the Phoenix Court. And I fell in love with a lowly black serpent. In my past life, just to be with him, I purposely picked that black serpent during the Sacred Bonding ceremony when we each chose our companion beasts. After that, we spent every night together. I didn't care what the whole clan thought. I was determined to marry him. But on our wedding day, that same serpent I'd given my heart to drove an arrow straight through me, killing me while I was three months pregnant. As I lay dying, I heard him hiss bitterly in my ear, "If it weren't for you, I'd have been with Seraphine by now. You should've died a long time ago." That's when I finally got it. All he cared about was power. And he'd been in love with my older sister all along—the sister who was next in line for the Phoenix throne. When I opened my eyes again, we were back at that same moment—the Sacred Bonding ceremony. Before everyone, he dropped to his knees and confessed he loved my sister. He begged not to be bound to me. The whole clan looked at me with pity. But I only smiled and pointed to a small white serpent resting quietly off to the side. That black serpent thought clinging to my sister would make him powerful. What he didn't realize was that only the one I chose would become the true heir to the Phoenix Court.

Solene Wilkins agreed to a marriage she never thought she’d feel, bound not by love but by obligation. Ethan Cole, heir to a vast family empire, married her to satisfy familial alliances, but his heart still belongs to the woman who once walked away—Celeste. From the start, Solene knew she was stepping into a life shadowed by someone else’s love. Yet, despite knowing the truth, she falls for his quiet moments, his unguarded gestures, the man he shows her in fleeting glimpses. A husband who doesn’t yet realize that she is more than a placeholder. When Celeste unexpectedly returns, Solene is forced to confront a reality she’s been silently surviving: Ethan is torn between the past and the present, and she might never be more than the wife he agreed to marry. But as cracks in their marriage deepen, and secrets and desires intertwine, Solene must decide whether she will fight for a love that might never fully be hers or protect her heart from being shattered all over again.
