Did Kakashi Lose His Sharingan

Isang pirma. Isang apelyido. Isang kasunduang tuluyang babago sa buhay ni Celestine Ramirez. Walang kaalam-alam sa galaw ng mga makapangyarihang tao, napilitang pumayag si Celestine sa isang kasal na hindi niya ginusto—isang papel na dapat sanang gampanan ng kapatid niyang tumakas sa responsibilidad. Ang lalaking pinakasalan niya? Si Lucas Arguelles Sevllia. CEO ng Arguelles Holdings. Kilalang malamig, walang puso, at kayang pabagsakin ang sinumang hindi sumunod sa kanya. Akala ni Celestine, tatlong buwan lang ang lahat—hanggang makansela ang kontrata. Pero paano kung ang lalaking walang pakialam ay unti-unting nagiging protektibo, mapagmasid, at... mapagmahal? At paano kung sa likod ng tahimik nitong pagkilos, ay ang matagal nang lihim—na hindi aksidente ang pagkakapili sa kanya? "Hangga’t dala mo ang apelyido ko, akin ka," bulong ni Locas sa kanyang tainga. "At hindi ko hayaan na maagaw ka ninuman." Pero sa mundong puno ng lihim, kasinungalingan, at makakalaya pa ba siya sa isang pangalang hindi niya pinili… ngunit minahal na niya?

“You loved me at my worst so you deserve me at my best.” Unrequited love hurts but what hurts even more is when the person you love with all your being is in love with your best friend. And what hurts even worse is when your Best friend slaps the truth right in your face that your man has been in love with her all along and you are nothing but just a second choice. As important as a rock on the street. No one should ever go through this. But Serena wasn't that lucky. To get revenge on Shanice Cooper- the queen bee of High Central- Asher Carter begins dating Serena Adams- Shanice's best friend. Serena, who is deeply in love with Asher, fails to notice his ulterior motive and keeps falling for him even more. It takes her 7 long years to know she was just a pawn in his game. But 7 years is long enough to change the game. It was all supposed to be just a game, but Asher couldn’t help himself falling for this innocent girl. He didn't realise when she became the center of his world. When did she become so important? So much that he bent the sky and moved the world only to see her smile. He became the richest man on earth only so that his woman lived like a Queen. He thought he was in love, but what he felt for Serena Adams was far more intense than he had felt for anyone ever. It was straight madness. But what happens when his first choice returns? The question is would Asher go back to her or would he, this time, protect his marriage? And what will happen when Serena finds out the truth- will she stay or leave him?

He thought he had his life figured out—until the boy he buried in the past walked back in. Dorian Keene was once the golden boy of high school—famous, feared, and cruel. And Caspian Vale? Just the quiet nerd with a birthmark... and a target on his back. But beneath Dorian's bullying lay a truth he couldn’t face: he was terrified of how much he wanted the boy he was supposed to hate. Years later, Dorian’s world is in shambles. Penniless, grieving, and sick, he lands a miracle job—working under a Tech Mogul who turns out to be none other than Caspian. Only this Caspian is powerful, untouchable... and very much engaged to a woman. Dorian tries to keep his distance. Caspian, for all appearances, is straight. But fate has a twisted sense of humor, and buried sparks are reignited—this time under the harsh light of adulthood, secrets, and slow-blooming desire neither man can afford. As Dorian’s hidden illness grows deadlier, and Caspian's mask begins to crack, a single kiss will force them to ask: Can a man who thought he was straight handle the truth of who he’s always been... before it’s too late?

On the wet sand beside the seashore, the strong, tall man was laying with a cigarette in his hand. His bike parked a few feet away from him. The environment there was serene and noiseless as no one was allowed then on the beach that he owned. It was not a big deal for a billionaire like him. He had a lot more than that. Wealth, power, the respect he had all of them but lacked the most important thing that couldn't be bought with money. He lacked inner peace. He inhaled the vinous smoke as the corner of his lips twitched in a sad smile. His eyes deceived him being moist and a lone tear slipped down his face on the sand. The sand sucked the water as soon as it fell on it, and he wondered if his pain disappeared in thin air like that. He breathed out a puff of smoke through his nose and mouth. Looking up at the sky with the sad smile plastered on his face he spoke up, "Why so hatred for me, ya Rab?" Miles away from him the girl with a cuddling baby in her arms uttered looking up at the sky, "I express my deep gratitude to You for sending this angel to me, Ya Rab."
