Gene Chandler Net Worth

Kahihiyan, malas, pagkakamali, bastarda, palamunin, inggrata. All those words are embedded in my mind, and in my soul. Bawat araw ng buhay ko, wala ni isang sandali na hindi pinaalala sa'kin ng pamilya ko na pagkakamali lang ako. I feel so alone. I feel neglected. Nandidiri ako sa sarili ko sa katotohanang bunga ako ng kasalanan. Pakiramdam ko, hindi ko karapatang mabuhay. But then he came. He made feel that I'm worth it, I'm worth loving. He made me feel beautiful. Just like the pictures he takes...picturesque. And it’s too late before I realize that it was all just for show.

DO NOT READ YET. UNDER THOROUGH EDITING The plan was to run from him. But no one can outrun destiny. "I'm mated to the twin alphas of Bloodmoon. Your moon goddess must be wrong to think I'd want a third mate. Nevertheless, a cursed king." *** Avalyn Drakara became a fugitive taboo the moment she was born. Children born from the combination of two shifters never survive. The struggle of dominance from each gene would never allow that, but she did, fulfilling the prophecy of the flame reborn. Amidst various sacrifices to hide her identity, she finds herself living as a human runt in a cruel hierarchical werewolf pack where she's mated to the twin alphas. Fate is cruel, and decides being a pet to one more alpha is the price she'd pay for the power she was never meant to have. But he isn't just any alpha. He's Alpha Kael Draven, the cursed lycan of the north and a descendant of the royal family. She isn't his first, but she is the key to breaking his curse. But when you've spent years bound to what you know, leaving it becomes difficult. Ava has no idea about who she truly is. Kael doesn't care; all he wants is to break free. Yet with a prophecy that ties both together, a gruesome, inevitable love is bound to happen. It's either them, or their entire world.

I just closed a deal worth 50 million. The room did its job, so I went to the reception to check out, and I got myself a bottle of water worth 2 dollars. That very same day, I got an email from the company accusing me of misusing company funds. They canceled three months' worth of KPI from my records and fined me 5,000 dollars. I ignored that, thinking that it was a mistake some new guy in finance made. When I went to work the next day, my access card was denied. It was canceled. I couldn't even get into the building. Furious, I called my CEO fiance, but his secretary took the call instead. "How many times do I have to tell you to follow the rules when it comes to money? Did you tell finance about that bottle of water? No? Then that's against the rules! Everyone else follows the rules, so why can't you? You're a veteran!" The CEO chimed in, "Christina, you're a veteran of the company. You must be an example. You're not allowed back to work until you finish your 8000-word reflection and read it out loud at the all-employee meeting!" They tossed the phone aside, and a moment later, moans of delight and passion traveled through the air. Stone-faced, I hung up and called our competitor's CEO. "I've got a 50-million-dollar deal and a sales manager who just got fired for you. Are you taking that deal?"

After fleeing an abusive ex, Holland Williams starts over at Smith Automotive and is warned to avoid its young owner, Remy Smith. One touch ignites impossible “sparks”; Remy, Alpha of the Sage Moon pack, recognizes her as his mate, but Holland rejects the werewolf truth—until her ex, Robbie, tracks her down and Remy is forced to shift to protect her. While Holland slowly trusts Remy and the pack (with Gamma Todd quietly building her safety net), Robbie sobers up, learns the town’s secret, and undergoes a brutal, forbidden ritual to become a “defective” wolf. Remy courts Holland carefully; she moves into the pack house just as Angel—Remy’s elegant ex—returns claiming to be his true mate. A staged misunderstanding drives Holland away, and Robbie kidnaps her. Angel manipulates Remy into thinking Holland ran; days later, shame and a witch’s locator spell (Mallory) send him on the hunt. In an abandoned house, Holland survives Robbie by stabbing him with dull silver; Remy arrives, kills Robbie, and must turn Holland to save her life. Against all expectations, she doesn’t become defective; healers can’t explain it. Remy marks her; they complete the mating ceremony and marry. Soon after, Holland is pregnant with their first pup. In the epilogue, Angel—revealed as the architect of the kidnapping—flees to raise an army of defective rogue wolves, vowing to destroy Sage Moon if she can’t claim it.

EXCERPT: John freed himself from the security lashes in order to gain more access to Tom. He gripped his friend's waist, squeezing to emphasize how much he was willing to give up for this man. "I can touch you. We can touch. Touch me." Tom searched John's face with his eyes, the flush on his cheeks darkening and capturing John's attention once more. He could feel Tom's uncertainty as if it were a weighted net falling over them both to pin them in place. Summoning his courage, he stripped his tunic from his upper body and seized Tom's hand in his own. "Touch me. Please." John thought Tom was going to refuse until he used his free hand to reach out.
