Hello Darling

Mark Ivan Barcelon and Eizel Francine Story (Hello, sa nakabasa na po ng Book 1 ng MY STALKER, eto na po ang kwento ni Eizel at Ivan, Bestfriend at kambal ni Kisha. Enjoy Reading!) Si Eizel ay may lihim na pag-ibig kay Ivan, ang kambal ng kanyang matalik na kaibigan. Ang magmahal niya dito ay hindi madali, pero para kay Eizel, walang mahirap pagdating sa pag-ibig. Mula pagkabata, may pagtingin na siya kay Ivan, at habang tumatagal, lalong lumalalim ang nararamdaman niya. Natatakot siyang umamin dahil baka layuan siya nito at hindi na pansinin. O mas takot siyang masaktan sa magiging sagot nito. Kaya't nakukuntento na lang siya sa pagtingin mula sa malayo at pag-silay. Matapang siyang babae, pero pagdating sa nararamdaman niya kay Ivan, wala siyang lakas ng loob na umamin. Pero dahil sa suporta ng kanyang kaibigan sa kabaliwan niya, nakapag-isip siya ng paraan kung paano unti-unting makuha ang atensyon nito. Tinext niya ito at nagpakilala sa ibang pangalan. Hindi siya sumuko kahit napaka-ilap nito sa text at chat. Hindi naman nasayang ang effort na ginawa niya. Napansin din siya nito. Pero paano kung nakuha na niya ang atensyon na matagal na niyang inaasam? At hiniling nito na magpakilala na siya at magpakita? Kaya ba niyang sundin ang hiling nito? Handa na ba siyang harapin ang lalaking mahal niya? Tatanggapin kaya siya nito kapag nalaman na siya si Eizel Francine Evangelista, ang bestfriend ng kambal niya, ang babaeng nasa likod ng lahat? ************************

BREE LEV. I thought it stands for something simple until I heard his deep soulful voice. A single hello was all it take for him to have my undivided attention. Akala ko hulog siya ng langit. Isang anghel na magsasalba sa akin. I was all wrong. He's a fallen angel with dark blue eyes and cold leather-covered hands. A man mantled with power and veiled with sin. We're opposites. I'm weird and a social butterfly. He's terrifying and brooding. A lone wolf. I love pinks and swirls. He prefers pointed knives and black guns. Darkness seems to be his fave companion and death his pastime. I, on the other hand, will always choose life. He told me to stay away from him. Guess, you know by now, that I did the exact opposite, right? I stayed 'cause I want him so bad, it hurts. I, Bree De Veyra, daughter of one of the families of The Council, lay my life to the head of the Foedus Corp– Lev Petrov. My father's sworn enemy. The master manipulator and my protector. Or my destroyer? LEV Three years ago, one phone call, two minutes. I swore I will kill her. Four weeks before her 16th birthday, I did the unthinkable. I destroyed her trust and left her. Broken and beyond repair. Twenty-four hours before her 18th birthday, nagbalik ako para bawiin s'ya. Twelve hours after I abduct her, we exchange I dos. Eight seconds after our first kiss, I know I will protect her with my gun and with my life. I, Lev Petrov, Heir to a fallen empire, vows to avenge Bree from all of the people that wronged her. It will be my life's mission until the last drop of my sinful blood...I will never let them rest in peace.

After being forced to donate the blood from my heart to my Alpha's beloved witch, I die in the cottage that he'd built for me. Before my death, my five-year-old daughter runs to the castle in the forest to beg him thrice. The first time, she runs into the study and tells him I'm coughing up blood. My mate, Alpha Alaric sneers. "Is this one of Clara's new tricks? I can't believe she taught a child to lie!" He orders his attendant to take our daughter away. The second time, she knocks on the door cautiously and tells him I'm trembling all over. Alaric snorts contemptuously. "What's with the act? All I did was take some of her blood, not gouge her heart out. She'll heal on her own soon enough!" Once again, his attendant chases our daughter out. The third time, she kneels by the study door and weeps, saying that I'm already unconscious. She begs Alaric to save me. This time, he gets mad. He grabs her by the arm and throws her out of the castle. "I told you your mother won't die! Lie to me again, and I'll kick her out of the Wolffang Pack. She can die at the hands of those Rogues!" He breaks her arm in the process, and she clutches it. She has no choice but to pass the family heirloom—a ring—that represents her identity as the Wolffang Pack's heiress to a passing merchant. "I can give you everything valuable I have, Mr. Merchant! I don't want to be an heiress—I just want my mother to stay alive!" The merchant accepts the ring and soon brings a herbalist. However, Alaric's beloved witch, Elena has him taken away. "Sorry, but your father is worried that I'll be upset because my darling black cat is sick. He's ordered all of the herbalists in the pack to focus on treating my cat first." She snorts. "Your mother can wait."

"Chris." The said man looked up at his mate and beta. One look,he understood what had happened. Without further ado,the man behind her walked out of the door closing it behind him. He stood up and stalked towards her. Grabbing her chin he said, "Darling, do you badly want to go outside and get taken by those men? They would sell you to a pimp house?! Why don't you just understand that I'm just trying to keep you safe?! Why can't you just stay here quietly?" Isabelle looked up into his eyes. He was taken aback by her boldness. No one ever dared to look into this eyes but it was to be expected after all, she was his mate. His equal. "What good is this place? At least out there, I won't be confined like a fucking prisoner! I so much hate this place. I can't breathe normally. It's all so suffocating! There's no one to keep me company, no phone no nothing. You as well, oh yeah, you treat me like I'm some disease that you'll contract if you get close to me. Like a plague! But don't you worry, cause I'm very happy with that behaviour. But at least just let me live my normal life. Why can't I just do that?!" She yelled tears trickling down her face. Chris who couldn't bear to see her cry moved his hands from her chin pulling her into his embrace. She fought against him for a while before she later calmed down and just sobbed into his cloth. "I'll let you go out. I'll give you my phone to use for the meantime. Just please stop crying." He whispered his voice breaking. He leaned to his table and took his phone sliding it into her pocket.

"pwede ba kuya! hindi naman namin pinapalayas yang asawa mong magaling. Kusa siyang umalis dito sa bahay, sinampal niya pa si Celestine, isa pa nabalitaan ko sa mga friends ko na yung haliparot na yun ee dun na nakatira sa condo ni Oliver" sagot pa nito sakin habang si Celestine ay tahimik lang na nakatayo sa likod ni Cecille. "CECILLE! tigilan niyo na kakagawa ng kwento tungkol kay Natalie." napatiim bagang kong sagot dito "sige tawagan mo Sebastian ng magkaalaman kung sino nagsasabi ng totoo dito. i-loud speaker mo para marinig ng lahat ang katotohanan." sabi pa ni mommy sakin. "Hello Sebastian napatawag ka?" tanong nito sakin "Oliver may gusto akong malaman at gusto ko sabihin mo sakin ang katotohanan, lalaki sa lalaki sabihin mo sakin sayo na ba nakatira ang asawa ko?!" tanong ko dito "Sebastian, oo totoong sa condo ko nakatira si Natalie, pero hindi ganun ang ibig sabihin nun. Tinulungan ko lang siya ng minsan ay madisgrasya ang sasakyan na sinasakyan niya, nabangga ang kotse niya sa poste nung oras na umalis siya sa mansion niyo, nakiusap siya sakin na wala na sanang ibang makakaalam ng nangyari kaya pina block namin sa news ang nangyaring aksidenteng ! Kilala mo ako Sebastian, oo tarantado ako at mahilig sa babae, pero hindi ang klase ni Natalie ang babaeng papatol na lang sa ibang lalaki kung wala ang asawa niya. Sya ang klase ng babaeng irerespeto. Siguro kung wala ka sa buhay niya hindi ko palalampasin ang pagkakataon na ligawan ko siya. Kaya ingatan mo ang asawa mo Sebastian, one in a million lang ang ganyang babae, kasi kung aayaw na talaga siya sayo. Hinding hindi ko siya pakakawalan."sagot nito sakin

Naglasing si Summer sa night club para makalimutan niya lahat ng sakit at hinanakit. Uminom siya nang uminom at sumayaw siya sa dance floor, habang sumasayaw siya may nabangga siyang lalaki. Nilagay niya ang dalawang kamay sa balikat nito. "Darling, wala kabang kasama ngayong gabi? Sasama ako sa iyo kahit saan. Gawin mo lahat ng gusto mong gawin sa akin." "Are you sure?" tanong ng lalaki. "Yes, Mr. Handsome," malandi niyang sagot. Hindi niya pinagsisihan na pinagkaloob niya ang sarili sa lalaki. Mananatiling lihim ang nangyari sa kanila at una't huli na rin ang pagkikita nilang dalawa. Nagpacheck up si Summer dahil nasusuka at nahihilo siya. "Congrats, Summer Suarez isang buwan kanang buntis. Ang pinaka good news kambal ang dinadala mo." Isang umaga hindi niya inaasahan na makikita niya sa entrance ng kompanya na pinapasukan niya ang tiyuhin. Tatakbo sana siya subalit hinaklit nito ang braso niya. Pilit siya nitong pinapauwi dahil ikakasal siya sa matandang lalaki. "Bitawan mo ang ina ng kambal ko! Huwag mo siyang hawakan." Pamilyar ang boses sa kanya, kaboses ng lalaking nasa night club kumabog ng mabilis ang puso niya. Nagoffer ng kasal kay Summer si Spade para may makilalang ama ang dinadala niya ngunit tumanggi siya dahil hindi pa siya sigurado kung si Spade ba talaga ang lalaking nakabuntis sa kanya. Dumating ang araw na handa niya ng sagutin si Spade subalit nalaman niyang planado lahat ni Spade na paibigin siya. Nakapagdesisyon si Summer na lumayo ulit dahil labis siyang nasaktan. Buong akala niya mahal siya ni Spade. Sinundan siya ni Spade, sinuyo siya nito at nagpapaliwang ito sa kanya subalit hindi niya pinapakinggan. Tama na ang minsan na nagtiwala siya sa maling tao. Bibigyan pa kaya ni Summer ng pangalawang pagkakataon si Spade? Susundin kaya ni Summer ang sinisigaw ng puso niya?

My husband, Jaxon Murray, was a renowned medical expert and owned a big company. He was participating in a clinical drug trial when someone tampered with his medication. Under the influence, he ended up entangled with an intern—ninety-nine times, right there on the lab table. When he regained clarity, he rushed home, locked himself in the bathroom, and submerged himself in the tub without food or water as he waited for me to return from work. "Lauren," he said, "my medication was switched during the trial. I made a terrible mistake. But I paid her off and had her dismissed. She'll never appear before me again." I wept miserably, clutching my belly that had once again failed to carry life. And in the end, I chose to forgive him. Several months later, he crashed into a guardrail while answering a phone call, causing me to miscarry. The injury left me unable to conceive for life. He buried his face in the crook of my neck, his voice choked with remorse. "Darling, I don't deserve you. I'm so sorry… We don't need children. We have each other, isn't that enough?" One day, I went to bring him lunch, only to find him in the next hospital room, cradling and feeding the woman he swore he'd never see again. "She's too weak to eat by herself," he said. "She has early-stage stomach cancer. There's no one else to take care of her… she's all alone." I chose to believe him. Again. Until one day, a pair of twins appeared in our home. Sophie Dixon knelt before me, wearing the postpartum gown he had once lovingly picked out for me, clutching my hand with tears streaming down her face. "It's all my fault. Please don't blame Jaxon. If you say the word, I'll leave with the children immediately." Jaxon grabbed my other hand, desperation thick in his voice. "Lauren, you've always been the kindest person I know. The children are still so young. How could Sophie possibly raise them alone? You wouldn't be that cruel… would you?" I looked down at the hands gripping mine from both sides, and suddenly, I laughed. "Jaxon, let's get a divorce. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness."

Leon Vincent, the shark of Warren Street, is the one who raised me. Twelve years ago, a fire tore through the orphanage and took everything from me. He was the one who pulled me out of the flames and gave me a second chance at life. To repay him, we make a weird deal—a 99-debt contract. I have to either obey him or be abandoned 99 times. After that, the debt will be cleared. Every time he goes on a date with some high-society socialite, he'll toss another insanely expensive piece of jewelry into my safe. In just two short years after turning 18, I've accumulated 96 diamonds in my safe, each one marking the 96 times he's cast me aside. One day, his fiancee, Elena Harrington, sends me a provocative email. "Dearest Isabelle, Leon and I are finalizing the wedding invitations. Do you think velvet with gold foil or matte leather would be more elegant? The ceremony's early next month. Can't wait to see you there! Love, Elena." Right after that, Leon calls, asking me to pack his bags for the summit in Parienne tomorrow. I simply send the wedding gift I've prepared in advance—a seven-figure emerald necklace—straight to his darling Elena without any words. That night, Leon returns to the apartment and finds out what I've done. He praises me for being considerate. Late into the night, he pulls me into his arms with rare tenderness. Nothing is left between us; no clothes, no holding back. He whispers that he wants to give me a special kind of reward, one that only I can carry. Somehow, Elena discovers my pregnancy. She stands on the balcony of Vincent Estate, screaming like her life depends on it. "Leon, I'm begging you! Don't let her have that baby! If you do, I'll jump!" The cold and proud Leon begs me, for the first time, to get rid of the baby. Everyone at the party awaits my breakdown, but I just smile softly and nod. "Alright. I will." He whispers in my ear, "Our marriage is just a business arrangement. I don't even like her. Once we're divorced, I'll give you another baby." What he fails to realize is that it was never in my plans to keep this one. There are only three more times left before I pay off this life debt from when he pulled me out of that fire all those years ago. After the 99th time, I board a ship bound for Azara to join a medical research mission. From that moment on, my life will be mine alone to live for.
