Half Past Eight

Ang kuwentong ito ay hindi angKop sa mga batang mambabasa.*** Since childhood, Astin Kier Hernandez has loved Laura Miller. But it was a one-sided love. Laura never had feelings for him. Still, he didn’t give up; he guarded her closely all through college. Out of gratitude to his family, Laura agreed when he proposed in front of her parents. He knew she wouldn’t refuse because of gratitude to their family. He thought he was the happiest man that day. He was wrong. Laura admitted she already had a boyfriend, Gael. But Astin didn’t allow the wedding plans to be canceled. Learning this, he rushed to set the wedding date. On their wedding day, Laura didn’t show up, and that was his first heartbreak. One-sided love is torture. For months, he disappeared from everyone’s radar, leaving behind his comfortable life. To forget, he joined the military, spending four years in training. After that, his team was deployed abroad on their first mission, which lasted longer than expected. Eight years is a long time, so he returned to the Philippines. He and Laura crossed paths once again. But he was no longer the Astin who was hopelessly in love with her. How many women had he left heartbroken whenever he was reassigned to a different place? But how could he now avoid the woman who did nothing but apologise and try to win him over every day? And how long could she endure his cold treatment?

Pinakidnap si Aurora isang araw lamang nang dumating siya sa Lanayan. Nagising siya sa isang maranyang mansyon at nakilala ang taong nagpadukot sa kaniya— si Alted Dela Fuente— ang kaniyang asawa. Litong-lito siya sa mga nangyayari lalo na nang ipagpilitan nito na siya si Candice Dela Fuente, ang mapanlinlang nitong asawa. Galit, pagkamuhi at disgusto ang nakikita niya sa mga mata ng lalaking nasa harap niya. Hindi siya si Candice. Kilala niya ang kaniyang sarili, Aurora ang pangalan niya at alam niyang wala siyang asawa at hindi pwedeng magkaroon sila ng ugnayan ni Mr. Dela Fuente. Ngunit sadyang hindi siya pinapaniwalaan ng lalaki, hindi siya nito hahayaang makaalis at makatakas. Alam niyang pahihirapan siya ng ginoo, ngunit ano bang bago? Buong buhay niya ay nakakaranas na siya ng paghihirap at pagmamaltrato. "You can't fool me, Candice, not again." Mr. Dela Fuente told her with gritted teeth. Ang galit na naglulumiyab sa mga mata nito ang patunay na hinding-hindi siya nito papakawalan. Paano nga ito maniniwala sa kaniya gayong kamukhang-kamukha niya ang asawa nitong si Candice? Bawat anggulo, mata, ilong at hugis ng mukha maging ang pangangatawan ay parang xerox-copy. "You're my wife." That statement makes her feel overwhelmed. Asawa? Imposible, ngunit may nagtutulak sa kaniya na magkunwaring asawa nito. Marami ang dahilan niya para magpanggap bilang si Candice. Ang mga dahilan na iyon ang nag-uudyok sa kaniyang magkunwaring si Candice, hiramin ang pagkatao nito at takasan ang pagkatao niyang si Aurora Sandoval. He is not his wife.. she is not Candice. Life is not fair in her past, so maybe she could be HIS FAKE WIFE and pretend to be Candice for a spare time. She is Aurora and she will be Candice.. the lost wife of the rich and well-known Alted Dela Fuente.

"You are no one to me. You are nothing, and don’t ever expect anything from me. You were brought here to play the part of a Luna and satisfy my sexual desires," my mate and new alpha said, without any remorse or affection in his gaze. Tears welled up in my eyes, but I refused to cry for the man who sleeps with other women in my presence. I looked him in the eyes and answered, "Yes." "No," he growled. "Yes, Alpha," I repeated, and he walked past me. Once he was out of sight, my legs gave out, and tears rolled down my cheeks. "You’re pregnant, Luna. Congratulations." My world stopped as I looked at the doctor. She was happy that the pack would have an heir, but I wasn't. You can't be when you've suffered so much at the hands of your fated mate. So, I ran. I ran and ran, but it wasn’t far enough to escape the mighty alpha. Follow me on Instagram - @authorsunshine97.
