Concealed Carry Bible Case

On our fifth wedding anniversary, my wife, who had struggled with fertility for years, suddenly felt nauseous. The college student we had been sponsoring panicked and rushed her to the hospital. Half an hour later, she called me. "I'm pregnant." I was thrilled, until her next words froze me in place. "The father's the college student, the one we've been supporting. He got sick that night and I felt bad for him, so I stayed over. I didn't think anything would happen. We have to keep this quiet. He's graduating soon and joining our company. We can't let this mess things up for him. "And you need to quit your job, so he can take your position. I'm going to need you home to take care of me." The sheer audacity left me speechless, but I kept my voice level. "Okay." She hung up, satisfied. What she did not know was that years ago, someone had made me a promise. If I turned 30 years old and still did not have a child, she would give me one. Today was my 30th birthday.

“Hindi na sapat ang pagmamahal lang.” Para kay Dean, masaya na siya at kuntento sa tahimik at simple na buhay na mayroon sila ng kanyang asawa na si Niah. Isang klase ng buhay na kasulangat ng kanyang kinagisnan. Ngunit hindi niya inakalang hindi ganoon ang nararamdaman ng kanyang asawa. Niah wants a luxurious and extravagant life. Isang bagay na hindi kaagad maibibigay ni Dean. Kaya noong makahanap ng lalaking magbibigay sa kanya ng buhay na pinapangarap, kaagad na nagdisisyon si Niah na hiwalayan ang asawa. She filed a divorce, dumped Dean, and hooked up with a rich man. Masakit iyon para kay Dean, pero hinayaan niya ang asawa sa kagustuhan nito. He loves Niah so much that he can do everything for her. Kaya noong inakala ng lahat na bumitaw na siya, doon siya kumilos at gumawa ng paraan. And what he did gradually surprised everyone, including his wife. Sa unti-unti niyang pagpapakita ng kanyang kakayahan bilang isang asawa at lalaki, dahan-dahan niya ring ipinakilala ang kanyang tunay na sarili. Would his wife, Niah, come back to him? And if she does, would he still accept her? Or would he move on upon realizing that his wife only loves him because of the things that he could give, and not because she loves him genuinely?

"Ms. Stout, please read the requirements carefully. Once you submit your personal profile and sign up, all of your information will be sealed. You must then enter the research institute within 15 working days. Until the research results are made public, you will not be allowed to leave." The response from the National Academy of Sciences Research Institute came quickly, accompanied by a form. Shermaine Stout stared at the screen, but the mouse in her hand suddenly felt as heavy as lead. The door to her room suddenly swung open, and Shermaine blinked, quickly closing the laptop without a trace of emotion.

First day of school, and my roommate Sharon hits me with a $50k guilt trip over some "limited-edition" suitcase. "You're blind or just too dumb to walk straight?" My boyfriend? Useless. Classmates? Total sheep. The dean? Clown. Then I really looked at Sharon. Wait a sec—wasn't she the same scholarship case my family covered?

Every day, my son and husband finish all the house chores before I even get home. But only because they're bringing my husband's first love, Sally Sullivan, back for Thanksgiving, I pour boiling water on my son's face. I also kick both my son and husband out when it's 104°F outside. Desperate to save our son, my husband sprawls across the front porch, begging me to open the door. "Wanda, open the door! We need to save our son! I only invited Sally over because she saved you once back then. I didn't mean anything else by it!" "Mom, it hurts!" my son cries. "Mom, can't you kiss me? Mom…" Meanwhile, I'm slouching on the couch, snacking away as I watch TV. In the end, my husband can't take it anymore and brings me to the Bad Mom Court for trial. The moment my memories are extracted, the entire court bursts into tears.

Depois da grande guerra entre humanos, vampiros, lobisomens e elfos, foi feito um acordo de que descendentes híbridos governariam o mundo. A cada século, alianças por meio de casamentos entre humanos e esses três clãs decidiriam o próximo governante. Quem desse à luz o primeiro filho híbrido garantiria o poder para sua linhagem. Em minha vida passada, escolhi me casar com Jax, o filho mais velho da alcateia de lobisomens, conhecido por sua lealdade feroz. Dei à luz nosso filho híbrido, um filhote de pelagem branca que chamamos de Zeal. Nosso filho se tornou o próximo governante do mundo, e Jax ganhou um poder imenso. Minha irmã cobiçava a beleza dos elfos e se casou com o clã deles. Mas o príncipe elfo dormia com todas as fêmeas da floresta. No fim, minha irmã contraiu uma doença que a deixou estéril. Tomada pela inveja e pelo rancor, ela provocou um incêndio que me queimou viva junto com meu filhote. Quando abri os olhos novamente, eu estava de volta ao dia das alianças raciais. Minha irmã já havia dormido com Jax primeiro. Eu sabia que ela também havia renascido. Mas ela não sabia que Jax era brutalmente selvagem com suas companheiras, tendo despedaçado inúmeras lobas em sua cama durante seus períodos de cio.

On the third day of my son, Zeke Murphy's disappearance, I've hacked into the smart AI system belonging to the entire apartment block. All 202 families in this block are locked up in their respective homes thanks to my ministrations. After that, I leave my first text message in the residents' group chat. "My son, Zeke Murphy, is in this very building. From now on, I will expose a family's secret every hour. If I can't find Zeke, all of you will go to hell with me." A CEO of a company with tens of millions of dollars' worth of assets is quick to lash out at me angrily in the group chat. "Have you gone nuts? Your son's disappearance has nothing to do with us! I order you to stop what you're doing immediately!" I type out my second text and attach a screenshot of an encrypted financial statement. "@1502Mr.Cooper, you have 59 minutes left. Here's a friendly reminder to check your overseas bank account. I'd like to see if the tax department is interested in its contents." I know that Zeke is currently staring at a resident on this very block right now.

No momento em que Luana Tavares perdeu o bebê, Henrique Ribeiro estava comemorando o retorno de Bianca Monteiro ao país. Três anos ao lado dele—cuidando, se dedicando, sendo parceira—no fim, pra ele, Luana era só uma empregada e cozinheira dentro de casa. Ela se cansou, perdeu a esperança, e decidiu se divorciar. No círculo deles, todo mundo sabia: Luana era famosa por ser igual chiclete, difícil de desgrudar. — Eu aposto que em um dia a Luana volta correndo. — Um dia? Meio dia já é máximo. — Disse Henrique. Assim que assinou o divórcio, Luana decidiu: nunca mais olhar pra trás. Se jogou na nova vida, correu atrás da carreira deixada de lado, se ocupou em conhecer gente nova. Dia após dia, Henrique já não via nem sombra dela em casa. Quando o desespero bateu, numa conferência, Henrique finalmente a viu—ela estava cercada de gente, diferente de antes. Ele foi direto: — Luana, até quando você vai continuar com essa palhaçada?! Dante Siqueira entrou na frente, empurrou Henrique com frieza: — Não encosta na sua cunhada. Henrique nunca amou Luana. E, quando finalmente aprendeu a amar, ela já não tinha mais espaço pra ele.
