Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon

"Ganyan ka ba talaga kadesperada, Airith? Pati kapatid ko ay pipikutin mo para lang guminhawa ang buhay mo? Pera lang ba talaga ang habol mo sa isang lalaki?" Iyan ang katagang dumurog sa puso ni Airith sa muli niyang pagbabalik sa bahay ng pamilya Vergara, lalo pa't nagmula mismo ang mga salitang iyon sa dati niyang asawang si Sebastian. Anak ng pinakamayamang negosyante sa kanilang syudad si Airith Almazan, pero inilihim niya ang pagkakakilanlan niya sa pamilya Vergara. Kaakibat ng kontrata nilang kasal ni Sebastian ay itrinato lang siya sa pamamahay ng pamilya nito na higit pa sa isang katulong sa loob ng isang taon, hindi bilang isang manugang. Hindi lang iyon, napagdesisyunan pa ni Sebastian na makipaghiwalay sa kanya sa parehong araw na ibabalita niya sana rito ang tungkol sa kanyang pagbubuntis. Makalipas ang dalawang taon, isang araw ay ipinadukot siya ni Stephen, ang nakatatandang kapatid ni Sebastian. Humingi ito ng tulong sa kanya at inalukan siya nito ng isang pekeng kasal upang tuluyan na nitong manahin ang kumpanya at maisalba sa nagbabadyang pagbagsak. Nalaman niya mula rito na mayroong makapangyarihang tao ang umaatake sa kumpanya ng pamilya Vergara kaya ito nalagay sa ganoong sitwasyon. Saka niya lang din nalaman na kagagawan pala mismo iyon ng kanyang ama, upang kaparusahan sa pang-aapi sa kanya ng pamilya Vergara noon. Sa kagustuhang ayusin ang ginawa ng kanyang ama, napagdesisyunan niya na tulungan si Stephen. Kasama ito ay muli siyang nagbalik sa bahay ng pamilya Vergara. Kalaunan, ang akala niyang pekeng kasal nila ni Stephen ay unti-unti na palang nagiging totoo kasabay ng unti-unting pagkahulog ng kanyang loob dito.

Caitlynn Nocella is human. She bleeds, she feels empathy for cute things like kittens in a teacup, she's optimistic and bubbly, and she forgives easily. Blaise Jacobson is a ghoul.

Suddenly everything is different and the ghouls she meet aren't exactly your typical 'monsters hiding in the closet'. Falling for a ghoul is hard, especially when you know how hot-headed and damaged he is, but maybe Caitlynn could change that, but at what cost?
