Gap And The Gain

In a cruel place where there's no room for failure because failure means blood and death. The challenge is simple. Survive and escape the claws of your doom. The race against death's door begins once you enter the door...

An overnight conspiracy crowned me the ruler of East Millsdearne. A ruler unfit to rule, a ruler always questioned, and looked down upon as weak. Why? Because I am a woman. Princess Adria was a rebel. Since young, all she wanted was the power and respect in every eye that looked at her. But all she got was lust. Where the crown gave her the power, she still surged to get the respect. Respect that came laced with lust, loss, and sacrifices. Sacrifices that kept her away from the love of her life. Tangled in a journey to find and give what women deserve, Adria tangles her love life. Will she succumb to the power of the throne, or will she draw herself out? A tale of the queen, that deserved power, and love. The question is how will she hold onto both.

"I will not promise you a happy life once you agreed to this union." Isang Arranged Marriage ang kinasangkutan nila Lumiere Jane Ramirez at Drake Achyls Hernandez matapos ang kanilang Senior Highschool. Isa itong Promise of Union ng dalawang pamilya at sa kanila ito maisasakatuparan. Habang naghihimutok sa galit sa pagtutol si Drake ay kaiba naman kay Lumiere dahil ito ay matagal ng may gusto kay Drake. Akala niya isang fairytale, kapag naikasal ka sa taong matagal mo ng gusto pero mas lalong naging cold, indifferent at malupit sa kaniya ang lalaki to the point he handed her a divorce. Namatay ang lolo ni Lumiere at sinisi niya ang lahat kay Drake. Nais na niyang iwan ito at hindi na magpakita pero nagkita sila sa isang bar. Nakita ni Drake na nakikipagsayaw sa iba ang kaniyang asawa. Sa unang pagkakataon ay inuwi siya nito sa condo para komprontahin. Dahil sa kalasingan ay nauwi ang lahat sa isang mainit na gabi. Kinabukasan ay nakita ni Lumiere ang divorce agreement at pinirmahan niya ito dahil hindi naman niya kayang pilitin ang lalaking mahalin siya. At ang nangyari kagabi ay dahil lang sa kalasingan. It was just a s*x. Umalis si Lumiere at hindi na muli pang nakipagkita kay Drake. After 5 long years, nagkita silang muli ngunit siya ay nobya na ng kaniyang pinsan na si Orphen. Lalo siyang nagalit ng malaman niyang may anak na ang mga ito. Pinilit niyang bawiin si Lumiere at nagsimula ang bawat dagok sa kanilang buhay. Isa bang sumpa ang Promise of Union o kailangan lang nilang mapatunayan na para talaga sila sa isat-isa.

Aku tiba-tiba terkena pankreatitis akut. Saat tiba di rumah sakit, dokter menolak untuk merawatku. Alasannya? Suamiku adalah dokter di bagian UGD dan dia telah memberi instruksi agar tidak ada yang menangani kasusku. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, dia langsung datang padaku hanya dengan sekali telepon. Namun karena kejadian itu, "cinta sejatinya", Charlene, mengalami kecelakaan dan meninggal di tempat. Dia menyalahkanku atas semua itu. Pada hari ulang tahun ibuku, dia meracuni makanan kami sekeluarga. Lalu, dengan pisau bedah di tangannya, dia menusukku berulang kali. "Sakit nggak? Tapi Charlene waktu itu lebih sakit lagi. Kalau bukan karena kamu, mana mungkin dia menggantikanku untuk pergi keluar?" "Kamu yang menyebabkan kematiannya. Aku akan memastikan seluruh keluargamu mati untuk menemaninya!" Ketika membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke hari saat aku minum alkohol demi dia dan akhirnya menderita pankreatitis. Kali ini, dia memilih berlari kepada Charlene tanpa ragu-ragu. Dia mengira dia telah membuat pilihan yang benar. Namun pada akhirnya, dia berlutut dan memohon agar aku kembali.

When my brother got into trouble with the wrong people, I had no choice but to walk into the lion’s den. That’s when I met Luciano Romano, the man everyone fears, the man with blood on his hands.

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?
