Flame Test

Ang akala mo ay makakatakas ka na din sa pang-aalipusta sayo ng mga magulang mo dahil sa may taong nagmamahal na sayo, ang hindi mo din alam ay ginagamit ka lang din naman nito. Pag-ibig? Ano ba talaga ang silbi ng salitang iyan, kung lahat naman sila ay pinagkakaisahan ako, pinagkaisahan ako ng tadhana. Ang pagmamahal na kay sagana noong una ay bigla na lang naglaho ng malaman kong ginagamit niya lang ako. Ng mapakasal ako sa isang lalaking hindi ko kakilala ay mas naging impyerno pa ang aking buhay. Wala na bang mas ikakalupit ang tadhana? Pagod na ako, pagod na pagod na ako, kung bakit kasi nangyayari sa aking ang mga ganitong bagay. Naghintay ako, kinuha nila ang kompanya na dapat ay para sa akin, mga ari-arian na dapat para sa akin, ang anak ko na pinatay nila kahit nasa sinapupunan ko pa ito, hindi pa sila nasiyahan at pati ako ay pinapapatay nila. Naghihintay lang ako ng pagkakataon, hintayin niyo ang aking pagbabalik. Tiyak na sa pagbabalik ko ay hindi ko kayo papalampasin lahat.

Giselle Stone has been with Jonathan Lawson for seven years, but that means nothing to him compared to the excitement and novelty of being with someone new. She's always considered herself someone who could protect other people's relationships, but Jonathan's heart is one that she can't keep. When she realizes it's over between them, she tells him she wants to call off the engagement. Jonathan's gaze is cold as he confidently says, "You'll regret this, Giselle." Everyone is waiting to see her make a fool of herself, but the man behind her wraps an arm around her waist. He rests his jaw on her shoulder as his warm breath fans over her. "Do you know what's the most vindicative thing to do when getting revenge on your ex? Marry me, Gigi. That way, you'll be Jonathan's aunt."

« Vas-tu me tuer comme tu as tué ton compagnon ?» demandai-je, la voix et le regard fixés. « Seulement si tu te comportes bien, Lune. Tu es ma petite épouse, tu te souviens ?» Il se pencha et me fit descendre une mèche de cheveux dans l’oreille. « Et en tant qu’épouse, tu dois m’obéir, même au prix de ta vie. Alors seulement, je t’épargnerai.» « Et si je ne le fais pas ?» soufflai-je en levant les yeux vers lui pour la première fois. « Et si je te désobéis, Keiran ? » « Alors, les conséquences seront insupportables. » ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Avoir tout ce que l'on désire était l'une des meilleures choses de la vie. Une famille unie, un compagnon aimant qui est aussi mon amour d'enfance et mon loup. Je pensais que cela durerait très longtemps, mais malheureusement, mon bonheur n'a duré qu'un court instant. J'ai surpris mon compagnon en train d'avoir une liaison avec une autre femme, et mon père, l'Alpha de la meute des Lys, m'a annoncé mon mariage arrangé avec l'homme le plus redouté qui ait jamais existé. LYCAN KEIRAN MORENO. Un Roi Lycan mortel qui est aussi le dieu des Enfers. Des rumeurs circulaient selon lesquelles il aurait tué sa compagne la nuit de leur cérémonie d'accouplement. Comment étais-je alors censée épouser un homme aussi dangereux ? Je me suis retrouvée dans son domaine comme épouse, malgré notre énorme différence d'âge. Bon sang… cet homme était mon pire ennemi. Je préférerais mourir plutôt que de le laisser me toucher. C'est dire à quel point je le déteste, et heureusement, c'était réciproque.

At the celebration where Lorenzo Alvarez is crowned the new mafia boss, his men arrange a few performances. A dancer in a backless top and short skirt twists around the pole under the lights. "Don't look," he murmurs, covering my eyes with his hand. "This kind of cheap entertainment isn't worthy of you." His men jump in immediately. "Lorenzo still spoils Ms. Valenti after all these years. That kind of devotion is rare. We're so jealous." "A man as loyal and single-minded as Lorenzo is hard to find." I rest a hand on my belly, planning to tell him tonight that I am pregnant. But when I return from the restroom, I see the same man who had just held me in his arms leaning back in his chair while the dancer straddles his lap. Lorenzo slips his business card and a thick fold of cash into the waistband of her skirt. He laughs, relaxed and unbothered. "Isabella is wonderful, sure, but life needs a little passion. This ragazza is just something new. A bit of fun. "Keep your mouths shut. Don't go running to Isabella and upset her. Otherwise, you'll have a problem." Cold rushes through me. I do not approach or confront Lorenzo. I simply take out my phone and answer the email I have been avoiding for days. "I agree to participate in the confidential experiment."

Landing perfectly on him, my eyes widen once I feel him against me. “Yes, darlin’, you are the reason for it.

I was with Don Massimo for five years. The whole time, he never hid his favorite: Cara. His driver’s daughter. The man who took a bullet for him. He called it paying a debt. Like a fool, I bought it. He gave her jewels. Fast cars. He even bought her a goddamn island. Three days before the wedding, I found out he'd moved the venue. Not to my family's estate in Sicily. But to the island. Her island. His excuse? Cara was claustrophobic. Couldn't handle a big indoor wedding. I was done. Three days later, the wedding happened on that island. But the bride was a no-show. Massimo was publicly humiliated. He tore the city apart looking for me. That’s when he found out. He thought he was marrying me. Instead, I married his greatest enemy. Nikolai Volkov. The Godfather of the Russian Bratva. He ditched Cara. He ran to my family's estate and waited. Seven days and nights. With flowers, a ring, and a whole lot of begging.

Aah!“ Jojo groans and pushes Finn away. Her eyes open wide as she looks at him. “Finn? What was that? You are my brother!“ Finn sighs, licking his lips and staring into his eyes. “Am I?“ He asks. He tries to hold himself back from pulling her in and kissing her again. Jojo blinks her eyes in confusion. She lifts her finger and touches her wet lips. “What? You have always been my brother, right? We... we can't do this.” Finn scoffs and leans closer to her again. “Stop being so naive, Jojo. Yes, you are my little sister. But you can be something else, can't you?“ “Something like?“ The more confused Jojo asks, looking into his eyes. But she shudders again. “Brother? Why are you looking at me like that?“ Finn chuckles and holds her chin. “Like what? Isn't it because I want to kiss you again?“ He asks and leans in for a kiss. “Um… Brother…” “Ssh!“ Just at the same time, the door is pushed open, and Vera walks in. Jojo quickly adjusts her clothes. “Your fiancee is here... I'll leave,” she says. But Finn pulls her into his arms and prevents her from leaving. “I want you to stay,” he says, looking up at Vera, whose eyes are teary. “What do you want, Vera?“
