How To Pronounce Devour

Casantha Maximill went on a vacation after she graduated from college and it was the first time she journeyed alone. When she was in Palawan, she tried to use a famous writing and reading app for the first time in her life. Upon exploring the app, she happened to find a writer known as ‘Blueguy’. She started reading his novels and she was amazed until she decided to send him a message expressing her admiration. After a few minutes, the writer unexpectedly replied to her and she couldn’t believe it at first. The writer wanted to meet her in the resort where she was staying. She was hesitant, but she agreed. She thought that it could be the only chance for her to meet the writer she admired. They agreed to meet near the shore in front of the resort. Before meeting the writer, Casantha told her best friend she called ‘Benedicto’ about the meet up. ‘Benny’ was his nickname and he was a gay. Benedicto warned her that she must take care. She said that she would send him the screenshots of their conversation in case something bad might happen after the meet up. After promising that she would be extra careful, the call ended. The time came when a fine man approached Casantha and introduced himself as ‘Blueguy’. She wasn’t surprised that he looked handsome because she had seen a lot of handsome men before. She was also curious about how he found out that she was in that resort, but the time didn’t permit her question to be answered because someone suddenly called him. Little did she know that her life was in danger because of him.

“I love you. I love you so much that I’m willing to do everything to have you. I’ll give you my heart, my body, and my soul just to prove my loyalty. You can own me. You can have me. You can have my everything.” Sinong mag-aakla na ang isang tulad ni Zeikko Jox Teng ay marunong magmahal nang totoo? Na isang babae lang pala ang magpapaamo sa isang tulad niya? He is ruthless. He is cold. No one ever dares to mess up with him. But when this girl named Krystal came across his life — he changed. She is lost. She always feels alone. No one ever dares to get her out in the dark. She was once hurt because of love. She is broken. However no matter how hard Zeikko tried to heal her, to save her from pain and from everything . . . he knows that the only person can do so is his own brother, Kiel Jiro Teng — ang lalaking pinili siyang saktan upang iligtas siya sa kamay ng kanyang magulang. But when the story began to unfold . . . Sino ang pipiliin ni Krystal? Ang lalaking bang una niyang minahal at ginawa niyang buhay? O ang lalaking hindi siya sinukuan at ginawa ang lahat upang iparamdam sa kanya ang tunay na pagmamahal? “Krystal, this is an oath. AN OATH TO LOVE YOU.”

"I'll make sure my kiss burns into you, driving you wild and haunting your dreams every night." Hinding-hindi makakalimutan ni Clein ang araw na iyon. Ang araw ng kasal ng bestfriend niya at ang araw rin kung kailan siya unang nabastos sa buong buhay niya. Akalain mong paglabas niya ng cr sa hotel ay may isang gwapo at matangkad na lalake ang humarang sa kaniya at nag-offer ng blank cheque para lamang maikama siya! Clein shredded the check and threw it in the man’s face. “He’s insane! Oh, my, I can’t believe those kind of men exist! Kahit guwapo siya ay wala akong pakialam! Ang bastos! Ang pangit rin ng ugali niya!” Humiling siya na sana ay hindi na niya muling makatagpo ang lalake ngunit pinaglalaruan talaga siya ng tadhana! She discovered the man was none other than Clauze Lexus Ravano, an arrogant billionaire with the world at his feet-and worse, he was a close friend of her boss. And now, Clauze wasn't just offering money. He was weaving a seductive game, one laced with power, charm, and persistence. Clein wasn't easily swayed, but as he pushed harder, it wasn't just his motives that became unclear-it was her own. How long could Clein resist when everything about Clauze drew her in, even the darkness beneath his intentions?
