Halo Mama

Hinahabol ng isang loan shark company si Naila dahil nagkaroon ng malaking utang ang mama niya na naging obligasyon na din niya. Sino pa bang pwedeng tumulong sa kanyang ina kundi siya lang? Wala silang alam na mabilis na solusyon dahil nawawalan na sila ng panahon. Kaya ang naisip niya ay gumamit ng lalaki. Hahanap siya ng mayaman na lalaki, kukunin ang loob nito at saka siya hihingi ng pera o uutang ng pera. Marami siyang kakilala na umaangat ang buhay dahil sa mga lalaking napangasawa o naging kasintahan nila. Naisip niya na pwede ring mangyari iyon sa kanya. But then she met Ashton. He was rich, yes, but his life was just as tangled. His parents had cut him off, forcing him to prove his worth or face an unwanted marriage. She likes Ashton but she won’t be able to get anything from him and she thought that she doesn’t want to just use him. Until Ivan, her boss, confessed to her. He was rich and a business owner. It will be easy for her to ask money from him, but the problem is Ashton is getting in the way. And now, she needs to choose between money and love. What would she choose? Her family’s sake is on the verge.

Celebrating your birthday means you acknowledge your existence as a human here on earth. But what if your special day in life turns into nightmare that haunts you forever? What would you do? Kimberly Jade Quesada loves to celebrate her birthday every year eversince she was a child. Lahat halos ng gusto niyang regalo ay nakukuha niya magmula sa mga damit, gadgets at kahit na ang presensya ng kanyang mga magulang na abala sa trabaho ay nagagawa siyang paglaanan ng oras sa kanyang kaarawan. Ito ang petsa na palagi niyang inaabangan kada taon kung saan nakukuha niya ang lahat at nararamdaman niya ang pagmamahal ng mga taong nakapalibot sa kanya. Pero paano kung ang mismong petsa na minamahal-mahal niya ay unti-unting maglaho at mapalitan ng pagkamuhi at pagkasuklam? Anong gagawin niya? "No matter how many times we argue, I still think that you are the best and will always be the greatest mom here on earth," saad ko kasabay ng pagdausdos ng luha sa gilid ng mga mata ko. "Open your eyes for me, Hyacinth. Mama, hayaan mo naman akong makabawi sayo," pakiusap ko pa habang nakayapos sa malamig at nababahiran ng dugo niyang katawan. She loves to celebrate birthdays not until binawi ng langit ang dalawang regalong ibinigay sa kanya.

Life is unsure and unfair for her. Her parents were already dead and she grew up in an orphanage. When she reached 18, they told her to move out so she had no choice but to do what they wanted. She started to work for herself since then. She tried to do a lot of jobs, making her forget what sleep feels like. In this world, a weak omega like her is like trash. Alphas are the only people that are valid in this unfair society. If you want to have a good life, you have no choice but to give yourself to thos alphas or worse, be their slave and let them stomp your dignity. In order to survive, an omega like her needed to stick like a leech to those alphas who the society respects. She even thought of selling herself just to have money. Maybe her life would be better if an alpha brought her. Maybe everything would be better if she had parents she can lean on. All of this came to her faster than bullets and she found herself clinging to that bridge, feeling the chilly air coming from below. Hazel is prepared to end it all, until a child suddenly appeared out of nowhere and clung to her legs. The child kept on calling her “mama” and didn't want to let go. Followed by this, men in black came to her, accusing her of kidnapping the child. “Please don't take me!! I didn't know this child!” Hazel exclaimed.

I’m a werewolf, eight months pregnant with my vampire mate's hybrid child. When the contractions hit, my vampire mate, Justin, locked me in an ice coffin carved with runes meant to suppress childbirth. I screamed. I begged him. He just said, "Wait." But this was all for his childhood sweetheart. Isolde. The pureblood vampire had used dark blood magic to carry his pure-blood heir without having sex. The first vampire child born in a millennium would receive the Progenitor's ultimate blessing. It would purify the bloodline. It would break a curse generations in the making. "That honor belongs to Isolde's child," Justin said, his voice pure ice. "You already have my love, Gracie. This coffin just ensures you give birth after her." The pain of the contractions tore through me. I begged him to take me to the Bloodspring Sanctuary. He leaned in, his cold fingers gripping my chin. "Stop the act. I should have seen it sooner. You never loved me. You were an outcast in the werewolf world. You only wanted my power and my title." "You're so desperate you'd risk our child with your savage wolf tricks, just to ruin a pureblood's blessing... You're poison." Tears streamed down my face. I trembled, my voice shattering. "The baby's coming—I can't stop it. Please, I'll make a blood oath. I don't care about the blessing. I just want you!" He scoffed, a hint of pained betrayal in his eyes. "If you loved me, you wouldn't have run to my mother. You wouldn't have poisoned her mind against Isolde." "I'll be back after she receives the blessing. After all, the child you're carrying is mine, too." He stood guard outside the sanctuary where Isolde's ritual was taking place. He didn't give me another thought. Not until he saw the halo of the blessing crown Isolde. He ordered his blood thrall to release me. But the thrall's voice trembled with terror. "My lord… Lady Gracie and the child… their life signs… they're gone." In that instant, Justin’s world shattered.

Kakak perempuanku memakan setengah piring mangga yang aku tinggalkan di atas meja, lalu seluruh tubuhnya alergi dan dipenuhi ruam merah. Karena marah, kakak laki-lakiku membuka mulutku dengan paksa dan terus menuangkan jus mangga ke dalam mulutku. "Bukannya kamu suka makan mangga? Hari ini kubuat kamu makan sampai puas!" Makanan itu tersedak masuk ke paru-paruku dan membuatku sulit untuk bernapas, lalu tenggorokanku bengkak dan terasa sakit. Aku memohon pada kakakku itu untuk menyelamatkanku, tetapi dia malah mengunciku di ruang bawah tanah. "Karena Sanny menderita, kamu juga jangan berharap bisa hidup nyaman. Renungkan baik-baik kesalahanmu di sini. Sejak kecil nggak ada yang mengajarimu, pantas saja kamu jadi sekejam ini." Dua hari kemudian, Mama baru teringat padaku. "Aslan, sudah cukup, lepaskan saja Herlina keluar. Kalau terlalu lama, nanti malah nggak baik. Dia jadi dendam sama Sanny." Papa yang berada di samping berkata dengan nada cuek, "Memangnya kenapa? Tinggal belikan saja dia sesuatu sebagai kompensasi. Beres, 'kan?" Aku bersandar di tubuh ayahku dan mengikuti mereka menuju ruang bawah tanah. Aku ingin melihat bagaimana mereka akan memberiku kompensasi.
