For Once In My Life

Dalawang taong pinagtagpo muli sa panahon kung saan sila unang nagkita at nagkahiwalay ng may hindi natupad na pangako. Mauulit kayang muli ang mapait na katapusan ng kanilang kuwento o ito na ang tamang oras upang tuparin ng tadhana ang huling kahilingan ng kanilang pag-ibig?

Joel Gleason, my childhood sweetheart and fiancé, promised he'd marry no one but me. But then, to help Jenny Swisher, my adoptive sister, get through her depression, he secretly married her. I didn't hesitate for a second before agreeing to marry Conrad Lennon, Jasselton's most untouchable heir, who'd been in love with me for years. After seven years of marriage, he still spoiled me rotten. He clung to me every night like he couldn't get enough. And there was nothing he wouldn't do for me. I really thought I'd found happiness at last. But one day, after we'd slept together, I heard him talking to his best friend. "Jenny's an international best actress now. When are you dumping Jean?" "It doesn't matter. I wouldn't end up with the person I love either way. Besides, I have to keep an eye on Jean. I can't let her ruin all the happiness Jenny worked so hard for." I booted up the computer in Conrad's study and stumbled upon a hidden folder. Inside were over 100,000 photos of Jenny, plus 100 unsent love letters. I'd been fooling myself long enough. It was time to wake up. I got myself a fake body and got ready to start a fire. That was it. Conrad and I were done for good.

However, Rie hides his true origins from her, he comes from a rich family, but he does it out of fear that Allie will see him differently, so he pretends to be a middle class person, and tries to keep his secret hidden for a long time. But as they say, the truth... sooner or later it will come out. Will Allie be brave enough to dare to see beyond her gray world? Will Rie tell Allie the truth or will she hide it forever? Will Allie be able to forgive Rie?

Even after being married for three years, my husband treats me like a stranger. When I throw up blood from pregnancy complications, he's in the prayer room chanting for his foster sister, Yvie Springton. He accuses me of being dramatic. If Yvie so much as gets a headache, he drops everything and flies overseas to be by her side. When his parents are in critical condition after a car crash, I beg him to go see them one last time. But what does he do? He claims I'm cursing Yvie. When I go into early labor and cling to life after giving birth to our son, he posts a photo of his international boarding pass on social media. At his parents' funeral, he returns to the country with Yvie and demands I leave the marriage with nothing. The day our divorce finalizes, he holds a wedding ceremony with her. I bury his parents alone. Then, at an exclusive auction, dead set on winning the famous painting for Yvie, he offered a staggering price. Even his accounts are frozen. That's when he finally realizes he's been disowned by the Springton family. His eyes are bloodshot, and he's furious as he demands answers. I simply gesture for my lawyer to step forward. He says, "Mr. Springton, take a look at this will."

‘PETITION FOR DISSOLUTION OF MARRIAGE.’ “And where exactly would you go after the divorce?” Felix scorned. “Have you forgotten you had nothing when grandma took you in?” He added, giving her a dismissive once-over. There was no hint of surprise on his face regarding the divorce news, which all the more showed how much he disliked her. Wren has spent three years of her life trying to be the perfect housewife to an unloving man. But when she’s pushed to the wall, she’s forced to retaliate. However she has no idea what is waiting for her on the other side. Happiness at last or worse chaos?

He even forces me to copy scripture and kneel while praying in the name of repenting for my sins. He makes me lose my child. The day I miscarry, I ask him for a divorce. However, he says we both owe Nara this, so we have to repent together. He uses my family to threaten me and keep me by his side. I waste my whole life for his sake.

Walang mapagsidlan ng saya ang puso ni Nieves Solanna o mas kilala sa pangalan na Snow nang maikasal siya sa pinakamamahal niyang lalaki na si Dalton Travis Donavan. Simula pagkabata ay wala na siyang ibang hiniling at pinangarap pa kundi ang maikasal kay Dalton. Anak ito ng Tito Gilbert niya, isa sa mga matalik na kaibigan ng Papa niya at nang marinig niya na hinihingi nito ang kanyang kamay para sa isang kasal ay walang pag-aalinlangan siyang pumayag. Kahit na alam niyang ang tanging dahilan lamang nito ay para sa family business nila. Forced into a marriage to merge their family business, Dalton Travis Donavan found himself falling in love with his wife. Mabait, mapagmahal at maalaga ang kanyang naging asawa kaya naging madali para sa kanya na masuklian ang pagmamahal na ibinibigay ni Snow sa kanya. Pero kakasimula pa lang nilang dalawang mag-asawa nang muling bumalik ng bansa ang isang babaeng minsan na rin niyang minahal. Walang iba kundi si Samantha Perez. Tinukso at inakit nang dating kasintahan kaya nagawa niyang pagtaksilan ang babaeng walang ibang ginawa kundi ang mahalin at tanggapin siya. "NILOKO MO AKO! AKO NA WALANG IBANG GINAWA KUNDI ANG MAHALIN KA! IKAW ANG UNANG SUMIRA SA PAGSASAMA NATING DALAWA! ANG SAKIT NA IBINIGAY MO SA AKIN ANG SIYANG NAGING DAHILAN PARA KAMUHIAN AT GANTIHAN KITA!" malakas na sigaw ni Snow sa asawang si Dalton habang puno ng mga luha ang kanyang buong mukha. "Oo, inaamin kong nagkamali ako. Pero hindi sapat 'yon para gantihan mo ako, Snow! Nag-iba ka na, at alam kong ako ang may kasalanan sa lahat nang ito," puno ng pait na sagot ni Dalton. Kaya pa kayang ibalik muli ang dating matamis na pagmamahalan? Kung nakaukit na sa buong puso at utak nila ang sakit at pagtataksil sa isa't isa.

The biggest mistake I had ever made was falling in love with my Alpha stepbrother, Cayden Gates. I was 12 when my mom remarried, and he was the only one in the new pack who treated me kindly. I fell for him at first sight. When I was 16, I was attacked by rogue wolves, and he fought off ten of them alone to protect me. At 18, he was poisoned by silver. He nearly died. That was when my wolf told me he was my fated mate. Without hesitation, I donated my bone marrow to save him. That night, watching him asleep with a pale face, I couldn't help but kiss the corner of his lips. He opened his eyes at that exact moment, his face flushing red. "Tessa, we're siblings. You shouldn't cross that line." From then on, he started avoiding me, like I was a mistake he couldn't afford to make. His fiancée, Rosie Lloyd, had been diagnosed with a rare blood disease, and I was the only compatible donor. For the first time, he pleaded with me. "If you're willing to save her, I'll agree to anything." But I was already weak from the marrow transplant. Giving blood again might kill me. I said no, and Rosie died in the end. He didn't shed a single tear, like nothing had happened. But at her funeral, he smashed the portrait I'd painted of him in front of everyone and said coldly, "How filthy of you to dream of being with your own brother." Later, I became a disgrace, a walking joke. Humiliation and despair swallowed me whole, and in a haze, I fell into the lake and drowned. When I open my eyes again, I'm back at the moment he begs me for blood. I say yes calmly. I consider it the final debt I owe the Gates family. Cayden, from now on, we're done. There are no more ties between us.

Ever since her nonbiological Mom died, she loathed and blamed herself for that. Avery Maureen Del Hera escaped home when she thought her father whom she grew up with wanted her to go to States, and even be with her biological parents, without him fighting for her. Hence, that's the bare part of the story. When she escaped home, she found a place . . . with the help of her own fate. A zone-like place, literally, with its wide and grandeur sceneries, isolated from the world. It's the Zone of Yavanna, or how the Zoners called it as Forest Survival. It definitely comes with names. Yet she eventually held one while being in there, a codename- a new identity: Cosimia. Her tale begins right at that moment. A journey of being the real sleeping beauty, for she's never awakened with the truth that she's been lost all along. She may have sought where she belongs, but did she see where it will lead her? In this forest that bargains life, away from the cruelty of death, one will strive for the betterment of herself, to think of what will become of her. Here's the thing, she's never a Del Hera, yes, but did she know, too, she's never Avery Maureen?
