Here I Am Again

I sat at the table, watching the food grow cold, much like my heart. Today was my birthday. It was also Leslie Buck's birthday—Katherine White's childhood sweetheart. I unlocked my phone and opened Leslie's social media page. As expected, a new post awaited me. "Grateful to have you by my side for every birthday. Let's keep our promise to celebrate every one of them together in the future!" The photo showed two hands forming a heart in front of a cake. One of them was Katherine's. I could tell from the bracelet she wore. It was the one I had given her. I gave the post a like, then set my phone aside. Without hesitation, I dumped the dishes Katherine liked into the trash and went out to a restaurant to order the food I liked, celebrating my birthday alone. From now on, I would make sure to enjoy every birthday of mine.

“Don't tell me you have forgotten what happened last night?” she asked as she moved closer to the bed with a flirtatious smirk. “We had a good time together. Last night was fun.” She leaned close to him, her eyes staring deep into his black orbs. Being in this close proximity with him, her heart was beating, but she won't show how nervous she was. The white towel she was wearing reveals the top of her breast, and Richard's eyes flickered towards it. He gulped down as he found himself drawn to her. Their proximity made him feel an internal heat within him. Her lips are so tempting. He has never felt this way for any woman for the past five years. Who the fuck is she? “It seems you want more of my sweet body, Mr. Presley. Last night wasn't enough, was it?” she said with a sexy smile. She could see the effect she had on him and it kind of made her relaxed. Richard was snapped out of his lustful illusion by her words. What did he just hear her say? Did something happen last night?  …. After the tragedy that befell Annabelle because of the Presley family, she returned for revenge.

Scarlet Quinn Reyes, at the age of sixteen, she was infamous for being a liberated playgirl. Boyfriend here, boyfriend there. Basta mayaman at kayang ibigay ang mga luho niya, pasado na iyon sa standards niya. Para sa kaniya, ang mundo ay isang malaking playground. Kayang-kaya niyang paikutin sa palad ang mga lalaki na para bang mga laruan. Her usual targets were much older men. She faked her age, even her personality, just to get what she wanted. Not until Renzo Riku Alcantara came into the picture. He was Scarlet sister’s cousin-in-law, known for being kind and responsible. Bukod pa roon, siya rin ay ubod ng yaman at hindi rin maitatanggi ang angkin nitong kakisigan—mga katangian na nagtulak kay Scarlet para siya ang susunod na targetin. But unlike the men Scarlet had toyed with, Renzo was not swayed by her charm. Ang gusto pa nga niya ay ituwid ang landas ng dalaga para magbago ito. Nagpakakuya siya kay Scarlet, tipong halos lahat ng mga nagiging kasintahan ng dalaga ay ipinapakulong niya. Sa sobrang pagdidisiplina niya kay Scarlet, hindi niya namalayang sarili na pala niya ang dapat disiplinahin... dahil unti-unti na siyang nahuhulog sa dalaga. Ngunit pinigilan niya ang damdamin dahil bata pa ito. Nagpakalayo-layo siya. Saka lang siya bumalik noong debut party ni Scarlet. Ang kaso… buntis na ang dalaga. Ngunit iniwan siya ng tunay na ama ng dinadala niya, kaya si Renzo mismo ang umako at nagpaka-responsable sa bata. Pero sa pagbabalik ng tunay na ama, pipiliin kaya siya ni Scarlet... o mananatili siya kay Renzo?

She never wanted a Luna. He never meant to walk into a werewolf ceremony. Alpha Zyandra Varyn was born to lead — ruthless, disciplined, and feared by every wolf in her pack. But when the full moon forces her to perform the ancient Luna ceremony, fate plays a cruel trick: her destined mate isn’t a warrior, or even a wolf. He’s human. Rhett Whyte only wanted to retrieve his lost drone. He didn’t believe in monsters, much less expect to stumble into one’s ritual. But when his eyes meet Zyandra’s, something ancient stirs — a mark he can’t explain, a connection he can’t escape. Now, the Alpha who never wanted a mate is bound to the one man who doesn’t even believe she’s real, and is also in love with another woman in his world. Zyandra calls it the Moon’s mistake. Rhett calls it insanity. But the bond doesn’t care what either of them want. And under the next full moon, fate will demand what it started.

"She’s just a legal vessel for my heir. Once the child is born, I’ll dispose of her." Those ruthless words shattered Serena’s three-year marriage to billionaire, Rafael Navarro. Hidden in the shadows, she watched her cold-hearted husband passionately entangle with his own stepsister, realizing she was merely a biological pawn meant to bear a healthy child to bypass their twisted, genetically doomed bloodline. Disgusted and fiercely protective of the newly discovered life growing inside her, Serena refused to be their sacrificial lamb. On a violent stormy night, she orchestrated her own tragic death, plunging a car off a cliff and burying her naive love at the bottom of the deep abyss. Five years later, the weak, discarded wife is dead. In her place stands Dr. S, a globally feared and untouchable medical genius. Karma strikes with absolute vengeance when the child Rafael ultimately had with his stepsister is born with severe, rotting genetic defects. Desperate and out of options, the once-arrogant billionaire is forced to his knees in public, offering his empire to beg Dr. S for the boy's life, completely oblivious that the ruthless woman looking down at him is the wife he drove to her grave. But Rafael's ultimate descent into madness begins when he crosses paths with Serena’s four-year-old prodigy possessing his exact emerald-green eyes, a son who coldly looks right through him, leaving Rafael to burn in the ashes of his late regret.

Upon hearing about my husband's surgery, I braved a typhoon and torrential rain, driving four hours back to the city. When I arrived at the hospital, my husband, Xander Gray, was lying on the hospital bed, calling out loudly, "I want my wife! Get my wife here!" His buddies around him joked about how his wife had him completely whipped. Everyone said he loved me to death. Blushing, I walked over with a happy smile and held his hand, saying, "I'm here." To my surprise, he shook off my hand in disgust and snarled, "Get lost! You're not my wife! My wife is Beverly Long!"

I quit and dipped. City threw a parade. Only Jenna Blake—my oh-so-gifted junior who claimed she could "see through killers' eyes"—lost it. At her celebration banquet, she went full drama queen: "I owe everything to Kate Mercer. Please, bring her back!" I laughed. Cold. Not happening. Last time around, I was the hotshot detective. But every clue I found? She dropped it first like she read my mind. People started saying I was washed. So I went all in—three months, no sleep, cracked a massive trafficking ring. Led the raid myself. She beat me there. Again. Place was cleaned out. Boom. She's the city's golden girl. I'm the clown with no game. Pressure got ugly. My head snapped. I died chasing the last scumbag. Then—bam. I woke up. Same day. Raid morning. Round two.
