El Último Suspiro Del Amor

Meu namorado, Miles, finalmente me convidou para o jantar de Natal da família dele. Eu desmaiei no caminho até lá. Meio consciente, ouvi ele sussurrar: — Desculpa, Eva... Aqueles caras disseram que você é exatamente o tipo do chefe deles. Bonita demais para o seu próprio bem, querida. Então culpe isso... não a mim. — Não fique com medo. Se você me ajudar a pagar a dívida... talvez eles me deixem ter você de volta. Eu vou compensar tudo. Pelo resto da sua vida, eu juro. Ele me empurrou em uma cadeira de rodas pelos fundos de um cassino. O cassino da minha família. O chefe para quem ele estava me vendendo... era o meu irmão. Desde que nossos pais morreram em um tiroteio, meu irmão assumiu toda a responsabilidade por mim. Mais do que um irmão, ele se tornou uma figura paterna, um protetor. Meu namorado idiota deveria estar com medo... ele não fazia ideia do quanto meu irmão me protegia, nem do quão implacável podia ser com qualquer um que ousasse me machucar.

Twenty years later, Amora grew up being an Island girl, kind, and was adored by the people on the Island.

Her twin sister got in a car accident while trying to run away with her other man. To save from being shamed, her father wanted her to be the substitute.

She has no other choice but to accept his request and be the substitute wife of her twin sister’s husband whom she didn’t even know.

The life cycle of a butterfly lasts for an average of thirty days. In human time that was nothing. Within that thirty days the butterfly would go through the craziest of cycles, starting as an egg enclosed within a shell that is both impenetrable and fragile. Then that shell would break to let out a creature that was hideous and scary and weird. Soon the creature would enclose itself completely for the second time, never to be seen like that again. It was a period of transformation. In thirty days, a butterfly's life will be complete, coming out of the cocoon as a changed and majestic creature. But humans aren't butterflies and thirty days weren't enough. Book cover credits to the amazing A-Graphics (@hiagraphics). Check her works on https://www.facebook.com/hiagraphics/

Kinakaya ni Isla Aguilar ang mabigat na hamon ng buhay. Nagtatrabaho sa araw, nag-aaral sa gabi para sa pangarap na mas maayos na buhay at makatulong sa gamutan ng bunsong kapatid na may Down Syndrome at butas sa puso. Sa gitna ng kanyang pagsusumikap, ang kanyang tanging pahinga ay ang lihim na talon malapit sa likod ng kanilang bahay, kung saan isang araw ay iniligtas siya ng isang guwapo at matipunong estranghero sa pag-aakalang siya ay nagpapatiwakal. Hindi niya inakalang ang estrangherong iyon ay si Johan Abraham Dela Torre, ang bagong CEO ng kumpanyang pinagtatrabahuhan niya na kilalang istrikto at malupit sa pamamalakad sa kumpanya, at mailap sa mga babae. Kaya’t laking gulat ni Isla nang bigla siyang alukin ng CEO ng kasal kapalit ng tulong para sa operasyon ng kanyang kapatid. May kundisyon ang kasunduan: walang pisikal na relasyon, sikreto ang kasal maliban sa pamilya ng lalaki, at isang taon lamang ang bisa. Habang tumatakbo ang mga araw, unti-unting nahuhulog ang loob nina Isla at Abe sa isa’t isa. Dahil sa angking galing at talino, si Isla ay naging isang asset ng kumpanya, at si Abe, sa kabila ng pagkukunwaring malamig at matigas, ay palihim na sinusuportahan si Isla sa kanyang pangarap. Ngunit paano kung may ibang babae na nagpupumilit maging parte ng buhay ni Abe at palaging minamaliit ng matapobreng ina ni Abe si Isla? Magagawa ba nilang ipaglaban ang pag-ibig sa kabila ng takot, sakit, at mga hadlang?

I was once the cherished princess of the Silver Moon Pack, adored by all. Back then, I fell for Kael, one of the pack's rogues. But when I grew bored of our little fling, I cast him aside without a second thought. Years later, my pack was destroyed and my parents were killed. Kael, however, had risen to become the Alpha of a powerful new pack. He claimed me, forcing me to become his Luna. Everyone said I was lucky, but they didn't know the truth. They didn't know that he brought different she-wolves back to our territory every night. And through our mate bond, every moment of their intimacy seared my soul like a blazing fire. I never cried, never protested, simply enduring it all in silence. But my silence only made Kael more volatile. This time, he went a step further. He got his Beta, Chole, pregnant. Still, I remained calm. Enraged, Kael slammed me against a rough stone wall. "Elara, do you love me or not?" I had thought his outbursts were a twisted sign of his love, that he was waiting for me to break. But then, Chole and I went into labor at the same time. I begged him to take me to the pack hospital first, and wanted to tell him that I had no choice when I rejected him back then. He pulled me into a tight embrace, only to shove me away moments later. "See? I knew you would break." "Drop the act. Do you really think you're still that high and mighty princess?" He ignored my pleas, ignored the life of his own pup inside me. He swept Chole into his arms and left without a backward glance. His cold voice echoed through our mind-link. "Don't worry, I'm not abandoning you." "You deserve to feel a fraction of the pain I felt when you cast me aside. Savor it."

My name is Christian Thompson, and once upon a time, I was the best striker in European football. That was until he came along—Ashford Ryder, young and carefree, 10 years my junior and the new shining star. I hate him. At least that's what I tell myself. Not just because he's taken my spot, but because he's everything I've struggled all my life to be, and not to be. He's vibrant, he's happy, and the worst of all, he's openly gay. I'm not homophobic, quite the opposite—I've lived in the closet all my life. All my life, I've had to hide who I am to please the people around me. European football hasn't always been this accepting of gay men, and I'd squeezed myself into a box to fit in with what they wanted of me. It isn’t that hard when you think about my family who'd rather disown me than have an openly gay son. So imagine how I feel when the world decides to be more accommodating to people like Ashford Ryder when they shoved me in a box. It's not so easy to hate the happy-go-lucky striker, when he does everything to get close to me, despite my insistent hatred for him. He's like a thorn in my side—a hot, sexy, blonde, 5ft9 thorn I can't stop thinking about. But when one day I lose my cool around the popular striker and land myself in bad press, I end up needing his help. It's supposed to be easy. Spend some time with Ashford Ryder, and show our fans that we can work together—it's what I need to do to save my career. But no one tells you how hard it is to hate someone you spend every waking hour dreaming about.

Meu namorado escolheu se casar com a amiga de infância, que estava grávida antes do casamento. Tudo por causa da reputação dela. Quando perguntei ao Lucas, quase sem acreditar, o que seria de mim e do nosso bebê, ele respondeu numa calma gelada: — Isabela não é como você. Ela só tem a mim no mundo. Ela não suportaria os boatos de ser mãe solteira! Lucas simplesmente esqueceu que eu também não tinha ninguém além dele. Esqueceu que eu, assim como Isabela, também estava grávida antes de casar. Depois, quando todo mundo disse que nem o pai da criança eu sabia quem era, Lucas ficou ao lado de Isabela e assistiu tudo com frieza, totalmente indiferente à minha dor. Só ali eu entendi que até o amor tinha nível. Foi aí que decidi interromper aquela gravidez que nunca foi um erro. Mais uma vez, deixei o caminho livre para que Lucas pudesse se sentir o herói salvando a donzela em perigo que ele sempre amou.

On the day of the mating ceremony, a crazed witch bursts in and points straight at me, shrieking, "Six years later, your Alpha will betray you!" Troy Hudson, my soon-to-be mate, turns livid. He swats the purple-glowing crystal ball from her hand, shattering it on the floor. "Nonsense! Estelle is my fated mate! I'll only ever love her in this lifetime!" After that, he becomes even more devoted to me. At the Moon Goddess' altar, he drapes the Luna shawl over my shoulders. He marks me with his scent so the entire pack knows I belong to him. Every full moon, he deepens the mark on my neck, whispering that I am his forever. I believe his love is unbreakable until our sixth anniversary. A box waits at our front door. Inside lies a pair of lace panties and a photograph. In the photo, Troy is pressed over his foster sister, Rue Youngblood, the wolf tattoo on his body glowing faintly. His hand grips her waist, his eyes burning with the same heat I've dreamed of a million times. And Rue? She's wearing that same pair of panties. On the back of the photo, written in ink as red as blood, is a line of pure provocation. "The Alpha's heart may belong to you, but his body belongs to me." Agony ripped through my chest, yet not a single tear fell. Instead, I rest my hand on my belly and quietly send word to the Witch Association. "I accept your invitation. Please help me vanish."
