Ichi-go Ichi-e Meaning

Liora Lythorne had lived in hiding far from the ruins of her fallen pack and the secrets buried with it. Her wolf never came. Her past erased, forgotten and her heart bound to a mate who barely saw her. Aldric Vayne —uncaring, cold and ruthless— once saved her life. But fate chose them anyway. Their bond had grown bitter, and when a public betrayal transpired, Aldric rejected her in front of the entire pack. Broken and humiliated, Liora found herself drawn into the arms of another—someone unexpected and dangerous. But knew what Liora doesn't. As the truth about her was unveiled. Enemies closed in. But Liora was forced to choose between the mate who destroyed her and the man who helped her in her broken time.

My husband, Adrian Cross, was a high-profile lawyer. We'd been married for seven years. I'd always wanted a child of our own, but he had never touched me because his heart belonged to someone else. Not long ago, I got into a car accident trying to save him. He promised he would grant me any wish. Everyone assumed I would ask him to have a child with me, but I calmly asked for a divorce. Adrian laughed, a cruel, public sneer on his face. "Don't pretend," he mocked. "I've never met anyone as shameless as you. You'd risk your life for me, yet you think you could ever leave me?" My heart, long hardened, turned even colder. He had no idea that I had been given a second chance. … In my previous life, I finally became pregnant with his child. But his obsession, the one he couldn't forget, took her own life. All his rage fell on me. On the day I went into labor, he locked me in the basement and forced me to swallow a massive dose of abortion drugs. As blood gushed from me, he laughed like a madman. "Ella died because of you and that wretched child you're carrying. For the pain she endured, you will pay twice over!" I died from hemorrhaging. And he went on to hold a wedding at the grave of his lost love. But reborn, I returned to the day of the car accident, ready to see their doomed love come to its bitter end.

The cold seawater engulfs me, its relentless pull dragging me into the abyss. I kick desperately, my lungs burning, but the surface drifts farther and farther away. "Save me, Kane… save our child…" Pain lances through my body as I clutch my stomach, shielding the fragile life within me. The child I never thought I'd have, the child who was supposed to be our blessing. Through the watery haze, I see Kane Porter standing on the jagged cliffs above the shore. His tall, commanding figure is framed by the moonlight, his golden eyes burning with hatred. The alpha of the Nightfall Pack, the man who once whispered my name with reverence, now looks at me like I'm filth beneath his feet. His voice cuts through the roaring waves, sharp and merciless. "Don't think I don't know what you've done, Selene." The currents tug me deeper. My strength wanes, but his words stab deeper than the water ever could. "You drugged me with a philter, hoping to make me mark you—hoping to force your way into the position of my Luna. Because of your selfishness, Arya is gone. You destroyed her mind, pushed her into madness!" A shadow of despair twists across his face, but it vanishes beneath pure fury. "She fell from that cliff because of you." I shake my head, but I can’t speak. The sea is swallowing my voice. "Do you know what it’s like to wake up every day in torment? To live knowing the woman I loved died because of you?" His eyes glint like a wolf ready to tear out his prey's throat. "I want you to feel every ounce of that pain. I want you and your cursed child to die with her." The waves crash above me, and darkness claws at the edges of my vision. When I open my eyes again, I'm taken back to the day Kane's philter takes effect. He approaches me, his face flushed and his breathing rapid. He's already undone his buttons. "Hang on, Kane. Arya will be here soon!" I back away and open the door behind me. Then, I run off.

No quinto ano do meu casamento com Caetano Targino, veio à tona o escândalo: a amante que ele escondia num hotel, Isadora Travassos, foi exposta pra todo mundo ver. Pra evitar que ela ficasse marcada como “a outra”, Caetano apareceu com os papéis do divórcio: — O Prof. Travassos me ajudou muito no passado. No leito de morte, ele me pediu pra cuidar da Isadora. Agora que isso veio à público... eu não posso virar as costas. Durante todos esses anos, Isadora sempre foi a prioridade do Caetano. Na vida passada, quando ouvi isso, perdi o controle. Gritei, chorei, me recusei a assinar. Caí numa depressão profunda. Caetano, acreditando num comentário da Isadora “Aurélia não parece doente”, achou que eu estava fingindo. Que era tudo joguinho emocional, chantagem. Então armou uma história de traição minha... e entrou com pedido de divórcio. Só aí, entendi que eu nunca fui páreo pra dívida de gratidão que ele tinha com o pai dela. E, desesperada, acabei tirando minha própria vida. Quando abri os olhos de novo, não hesitei um segundo. Assinei o divórcio.

It was hard for Charlotte to let go of her best friend, Dalton, the boy she fell in love with since she was nine years old, to make way for her sister, Caroline, who happens to be in love with him too. It was hard for her but in order to make someone happy, even if it meant sacrificing her own, she was willing to let go. It all happened around her senior year, where she let go of the only thing that mattered to her and after graduation, she moved away with no intention of going back. Four years later, on her college graduation day, her parents rather demanded her to come home with a reason that shocked her senseless.

Why was he there that day, who is he really? I’m so confused. My head and heart are in a battle to the death. Do I leave with my head. Or stay and love with my heart.

Sa mundo ng mga mang-aawit ay hindi maiiwasang magkaroon ng kompetisyon.Bilang lider ng isang grupo ng mang-aawit na kung tawagin ay QuadroQueens, isa si Angelic Tomas sa magpapatunay na hindi madaling maging singer. Hindi madaling makipagsapalaran sa mundo nila. Bawat pagkakamali ay may taga-husga, bawat kahinaan ay may handang humila pababa. Kaya, nananatili siyang palaban at may paninindigan para sa karera na tinatahak niya. Wala siyang inuurungan kapag reputasyon at talento na nila ang pinag-uusapan. At isang mapanganib na paing para sa kanila si Eionn Santino. Mula kasi nang lumipat ito sa company kung saan sila napapabilang ay mas nakahatak pa ito ng atensiyon at suporta mula sa mga taga-suporta nila mismo. Alam niyang may ibubuga naman siya at kaya niya ring tapatan ang lalaki kung gugustuhin niya lang pero hindi niya alam kung bakit nakakaramdam siya ng takot at pangamba tuwing ito ang itinatapat at kinukumpara sa kanya. When two same poles meet at the center of the same color of line, is it possible for them to attract each other? Or will they be the strong evidence of the 'same poles repel' law? "Don't come to me if you'll just going to destroy me."- Angelic.

Casei-me com o mesmo homem sete vezes, e ele se divorciou de mim sete vezes — sempre pela mesma mulher, só para poder passar as férias com seu primeiro amor como um homem livre e também para poupá-la das fofocas do mundo. Na primeira vez, cortei meus pulsos num ato desesperado para fazê-lo ficar; uma ambulância me levou às pressas ao hospital, mas ele nunca apareceu para me ver. Na segunda vez, rebaixei-me para me candidatar a um cargo de assistente em sua empresa, apenas para poder vê-lo novamente, mesmo que de longe. Na sexta vez, já havia aprendido a empacotar minhas coisas em silêncio e a sair sozinha da casa que um dia foi nossa. Minhas crises de histeria, minhas concessões repetidas, minha resignação entorpecida — tudo o que recebi em troca foram seus casamentos pontuais, sempre seguidos pelos mesmos truques e pelas mesmas mentiras. Até agora: ao saber que seu primeiro amor estava prestes a voltar ao país, entreguei pessoalmente os papéis do divórcio em suas mãos. Como sempre, ele marcou a data do próximo casamento, sem imaginar que, desta vez, eu partiria para nunca mais voltar.

The night before my wedding, I stumbled upon his old chat logs with his friends. "I've never met anyone so easy to fool." "You know she comes from a single-parent home, right? She’s desperate for love." "So, all I have to do is be a little nice to her, and she throws herself at me." I used to believed he had saved me from the depths of despair, but in the end, he played me for a fool. I thought I’d found love, but in the end, my sincerity was worth less than dirt.
