Hirap O Sarap Scandal

Il y a six ans, j'ai donné tout ce que j'avais, mon cœur, mon corps, ma confiance, au garçon qui avait mis le feu à mon monde. Le lendemain, il a disparu sans un mot. Depuis, la vie n'a pas été tendre. J'ai enterré mes parents la même semaine où j'ai ramené mon fils nouveau-né de l'hôpital. À tout juste dix-huit ans, je suis devenue mère et tutrice de ma sœur de quinze ans, survivant à peine au poids de tout cela. Alors que je pensais enfin trouver la stabilité avec un mari aimant, j'ai découvert qu'il menait une double vie, avec une autre femme. Maintenant, mon fils, Jaques, se comporte mal, est en colère contre le monde et porte des blessures que je ne peux pas guérir. Après un nouveau coup de téléphone de l'école, cette fois-ci pour une expulsion, je savais que nous ne pouvions pas continuer à prétendre que tout allait bien. Nous avions besoin d'un nouveau départ. Je ne m'attendais pas à ce que ce nouveau départ me conduise dans une ville de montagne endormie cachant un dangereux secret... ou à lui. Car cette ville abrite une meute cachée de loups métamorphes, dont l'alpha n'est autre que le garçon qui a disparu il y a six ans. Le même garçon qui ne sait pas qu'il m'a laissé plus qu'un cœur brisé... Il m'a laissé son fils. Avertissement ! Cette histoire contient des scènes explicites (y compris des relations entre hommes) tout au long de l'histoire.

"Tapos ngayon babalik ka na para bang walang nangyari?" nakagat ko ang ibabang labi kasabay ng pagyuko sa kaniyang pangunguwestyon. "Sinisisi mo 'ko kasi hindi kita magawang kausapin ng maayos?
