Fresh X Paper Jam

The day Jessica Smith and I went to pick out our wedding rings, her long-lost first love unexpectedly returned to town. When we went to pick him up from the airport, she introduced me to him, saying, "This is Sebastian Grant, a friend." Jessica made it clear that I wasn't her fiancé. She even went a step further and called off our engagement party scheduled for the next day. Just when she thought I would fight and insist on marrying her, I suddenly said in relief, "Your best friend previously wanted to hook up with me, you know? And honestly, I was kind of interested."

I've spent the past seven years by Caleb Hale's side, but I don't have a proper identity. He doesn't seem interested in marrying me, either. Later, he has plans to marry the daughter of the White family in a political marriage. They only have one condition—he must throw away the sandalwood bead bracelet he always wears. Caleb doesn't even bat an eye as he says, "It's just a little trinket, and I've grown sick of it." After that, he throws the bracelet into the annex from his balcony. Coincidentally, the annex later catches fire. Everyone is stunned to see me dash inside to retrieve the bracelet without a care for my safety. Subsequently, someone in the online community reveals that I kneeled in the snow outside Highspire Hall to get that bracelet.

Matapos ang tatlong taong kasal at pagsasama, gusto ni Leon Mercadejas na maging malaya para mapakasalan ang babaeng mahal niya. Sa buong tagal ng kasunduan nila ni Denielle Lopez-Mercadejas, hindi niya ipinaramdam ang pagmamahal dito. Sinasamantala lang niya si Denielle kapag kailangan niya ng isang asawa. Pero nang pumayag si Denielle sa annulment, naguguluhan si Leon dahil nasasaktan siya at tila may gustong sumabog sa kanyang puso.

Pag-ibig, isang salita ngunit marami ang ibig sabihin. Pag- ibig, tila ba simple lamang, ngunit ang totoo ay kayang gawin lahat sa ngalan ng pagsinta. Mayroon bang mas sasakit pa sa pusong pinagtaksilan matapos mong gawin at ibigay ang lahat maging ng iyong buhay sa taong tangi mong minahal? Matapos basagin at durugin ng pinung- pino ang iyong puso ng taong tangi mong pinagkatiwalaan nito, may kakayahan ka pa bang magpatawad at umibig muli? Matapos mong maghintay ng walang hanggan sa pangakong labis mong pinanghawakan ngunit sa huli’y tanging panlilinlang lamang ang iyong napala, may lakas ka pa bang muling magtiwala sa mundo? Papaano mo ipagpapatuloy ang buhay kung hindi mo na kilala maging ang sarili mo mismo?

I nodded. "I guess the night was a success." "It was." I didn't realize it but he was in my face now, only a step away. His hand went for my waist, pulling me into him. "Let's keep it that way because my mother is right by the door trying to listen in on us. I guess we weren't very convincing." I took a slight peep and there was a shadow right at the door. "What should we do?" I mouthed His hand lifted my chin. "A kiss should do the trick."

“Uncle David, sandali lang…” napapadaing na pagpigil ko kay Uncle David ng maramdaman ko ang kanyang kamay sa loob ng panty ko. Ngunit patuloy lang siya sa paglalaro. Hindi sa hindi ko nagugustuhan, pero may hindi tama. At talagang hindi tama. Kapatid siya ng ina na aking nakagisnan. Kaya pamangkin niya ako kung maituturing. Pero heto ako, at nalulong sa mga haplos niya sa akin. Nadadala ako sa paghalik niya. At hinahayaan siyang gawin ang gusto niya sa katawan ko. Pero hanggang kailan ako magtatago sa ilalim ng kumot na kasama si Uncle David, kung kailang matitiklo na kami ng kanyang kapatid at ng aking ama na may milagro ng nangyayari sa aming dalawa? O magpapatuloy lamang kami kahit alam naming dalawa na hindi talaga tama ang aming ginagawa?

My daughter was born with silver poisoning in her blood—passed down from me—which made it hard for her to sense her wolf, and even harder for her to shift. I worked tirelessly, taking on every job I could, to earn enough money to find a cure for her. One night during a late shift, I saw her. My daughter, dressed like a princess in an elegant, Silverlight-woven gown, sat at a table in a high-end restaurant. With her was my mate—supposedly bedridden and paralyzed—wearing a tailored haute couture suit. Across the table sat the famous she-wolf of our pack, the daughter of a respected elder. They had ordered a lavish dinner, the bill totaling over $500,000. After the meal, I overheard my mate ask our daughter, “You remember how to tell the story, right?” She nodded and replied, “Yes. I’ll tell Mom we were working as werewolf junk collectors all night, collecting waste paper crates, and in the end, we only earned enough to buy half a loaf of bread.” My mate smiled, pleased with the answer. The she-wolf then gifted my daughter an entire collection of newly released moonstone jewelry. Before they left, my mate tipped each waitress $5,000. I stood frozen, tears falling as the truth shattered my heart: my mate—and even my beloved daughter—had been lying to me. Even in dormancy, my wolf mourned. A colleague saw me crying and asked what was wrong. I forced a smile and said, “I’m just happy. I got $5,000 tonight. It would’ve been even better… if it hadn’t come from my mate, the one who’s supposed to be paralyzed and lying in bed.” No one knew what I had sacrificed to be his mate. I waited for an apology. But it never came. So I made my decision. I called my father—the one who had been waiting all these years for me to return as his heir. When I disappeared from their lives, just as they had always secretly wished... That’s when they finally began searching for me across the world.
