Critical Mass

Akala ni Evan ay tama ang desisyon niyang pakasalan ang lalaking pinapangarap niya---hanggang sa ang desisyong iyon ay nauwi sa isang bangungot. Naipit siya sa isang loveless marriage, muntik makunan ng dinadalang sanggol, at sa huli’y nakulong pa ng limang taon. Hindi naman siya masamang tao, ngunit hindi niya alam kung bakit naging ganito ang takbo ng buhay niya. Ngunit tila may ibang plano ang tadhana, dahil ang dinadala pala niya ay hindi kay Kenneth. Isang pagkakamaling hindi sperm cell ng asawa ang naiturok sa kaniya sa ospital. Dahil sa takot, inilayo niya ang anak kay Kenneth at iniwan ang pangangalaga nito sa isang kaibigan. Paglaya ni Evan, nalaman niyang ang malamig at tahimik na tiyuhing si Kevin ay nagkaroon ng anak habang siya’y nasa kulungan. Pero ang mas ikinagulat niya ay nang makaramdam ng kakaibang koneksyon sa bata. Mas lalo siyang naguluhan nang hindi na niya mahanap ang kaibigang pinag-iwanan sa sariling anak. "Ella, kapag nahanap mo ang file ng doktor na iyon para sa akin, I will divorce Kenneth immediately. Ang kailangan ko lang ay mahanap ang taong inaasam ko buong buhay ko sa kulungan, hindi ako narito para makipag-agawan sa'yo sa asawa ko."

Her silky hair was a mess. Her makeup, ruined. Her dress wrinkled like she slept on it. She was there, but her mind, elsewhere. Her eyes went to me. Her lips curled into a lazy smile. In every step she gave, my heart sank thinking she would fall. “What happened to you? Are you okay?” I rushed towards her. Her face twisted with disgust. “Oh, perfect Bella. The golden girl. Always correct. Always the best.” “What…” “Perfect Bella. Has the best grades. She doesn't have to fight to get into college, colleges fight over her.” “Emma, you are drunk.” “Perfect Bella doesn't drink. She is as pure as water. Saint Bella.” Her eyes glinted. “Perfect Bella doesn't sleep with her best friend's husband.” My body froze as a wave of chill ran through my spine. “What… what are you talking about?” She leaned in, her breath thick with alcohol, “Where do you think Marcus is? Why do you think I can barely walk straight? Is it hard to believe he took me and not you to that bad that was supposed to be yours?” My heart clenched. Tears started forming in my eyes. It didn't take long till they gave up to gravity. He… he didn't. We'd promised this morning. He couldn't. “He wouldn't.” ***** It's been a year, but the scars are still there. My past echoing in my head reminding me of everything that happened since that day. Every time I open my eyes in the morning to see... nothing. “You only get hurt by the ones you love the most.” “You only get betrayed by the ones you trust the most.” What happens when these two misbeliefs collide? ***** I hope I wrote this book good enough to make you feel it. Obrigada.☺️

La Demeure des Saphirs Froids ​Clara Belym, 42 ans, touche le fond. ​Entre un divorce amer, la perte de son travail et le deuil récent de son père, elle tente de s'échapper de sa vie passée en fuyant Bordeaux vers Toulouse. Mais son voyage s'arrête brutalement sur une route de campagne isolée : panne sèche. Pas de réseau. ​Le salut arrive sous la forme d'une villa somptueuse et secrète, Le Miroir de la Nuit. Rejetée par un personnel hostile, Clara est sauvée in extremis par le propriétaire des lieux : Lucien de Laroche. ​Dès l'instant où leurs mains se touchent, l'attirance est immédiate, violente, un coup de foudre qui balaye le désespoir de Clara. Lucien est sombre, fascinant, et ses yeux d'un bleu glacial — des saphirs froids — cachent une autorité et une soif que Clara ne comprend pas. ​Intelligente et brisée, Clara sent que quelque chose ne tourne pas rond dans cette demeure d'opulence. Mais comment se méfier de l'homme qui semble capable de réparer son cœur ? ​Ce qu'elle ignore : Lucien porte une identité cachée et un secret millénaire. Il est l'une des créatures les plus redoutées. ​Dans cette romance noire obsédante, le danger devient désir. Clara est humaine. Lucien est un vampire. Leur amour interdit pourrait bien lui coûter plus que sa nouvelle vie.

To save her sister from dying—and herself from going to prison—brilliant but desperate hacker Layla “Lyx” Costov must do the unthinkable: seduce and betray Micheal Wade, the ruthless tech billionaire from her past and Atlanta’s most untouchable bachelor. Her mission is simple and deadly—slip into his life, earn his trust, and steal the incriminating evidence that will destroy his empire. But the man she remembers isn’t the man she meets. Beneath Micheal’s cold power and fortune is a lonely genius who’s drawn to her fire, her defiance, her refusal to bow to him. The more she pushes him away, the deeper his obsession burrows. And the closer she gets to his secrets, the more tangled she becomes in his arms… and his world. Every touch she shares with him is a lie. Every kiss is a trap she set for herself. And every moment she falls harder. As the clock races against her deception, she must decide: save her sister, or shatter the heart of the only man who has ever seen her—the man she’s sworn to ruin, and the man she’s terrified to love. But everything changes when she uncovers a darker truth: her dead, brilliant mother may have been murdered… by Micheal’s father. Now the line between love and survival blurs. Will Layla protect her sister and expose the powerful man she loves—soon to be a father in law? Or face the monstrous truth about her own blood… and her illegitimate father? One betrayal will destroy an empire. Another will destroy her heart. And only one will save the people she loves.
