Im Alone In The

“Hindi na sapat ang pagmamahal lang.” Para kay Dean, masaya na siya at kuntento sa tahimik at simple na buhay na mayroon sila ng kanyang asawa na si Niah. Isang klase ng buhay na kasulangat ng kanyang kinagisnan. Ngunit hindi niya inakalang hindi ganoon ang nararamdaman ng kanyang asawa. Niah wants a luxurious and extravagant life. Isang bagay na hindi kaagad maibibigay ni Dean. Kaya noong makahanap ng lalaking magbibigay sa kanya ng buhay na pinapangarap, kaagad na nagdisisyon si Niah na hiwalayan ang asawa. She filed a divorce, dumped Dean, and hooked up with a rich man. Masakit iyon para kay Dean, pero hinayaan niya ang asawa sa kagustuhan nito. He loves Niah so much that he can do everything for her. Kaya noong inakala ng lahat na bumitaw na siya, doon siya kumilos at gumawa ng paraan. And what he did gradually surprised everyone, including his wife. Sa unti-unti niyang pagpapakita ng kanyang kakayahan bilang isang asawa at lalaki, dahan-dahan niya ring ipinakilala ang kanyang tunay na sarili. Would his wife, Niah, come back to him? And if she does, would he still accept her? Or would he move on upon realizing that his wife only loves him because of the things that he could give, and not because she loves him genuinely?

Para gumaling ang sakit ng kapatid, ibinigay niya ang sarili sa isang kakaibang lalaki. Makalipas ang isang taon, sa isang party kasama ang mga kaibigan ng kanyang bagong boyfriend, idiniin siya ng lalaki sa dingding ng banyo. Ikinawit niya ang gilid ng pantalon nito gamit ang mga daliri, "Sa kama niyan noong isang taon, 68 beses mong tinawag ang pangalan ko." Ang ilan ay nasa hindi matiis na sakit, at ang ilan ay galit na galit na humihingi ng awa. "Maling tao ang nakilala mo, hindi pa kita nakikita." Si Isabella ay tumakas sa gulat at bumalik sa kahon, ngunit hinila siya ng kanyang kasintahan sa lalaki, "Ang uri ng gamot na makapagliligtas sa iyong kapatid ay magagamit lamang ni Master Nicklaus." Ibinaba niya ang kanyang postura at malungkot na nakiusap: "Master, please." Ipinasok ni Nicklaus ang sigarilyo sa kanyang bibig, kinagat ang dulo gamit ang kanyang mga ngipin, na may malamig na mukha at isang malamig na puso, ngunit ang kanyang mga mata ay sumalo sa kanya at hinila siya pabalik sa kabaliwan ng gabing iyon. Ang abo ay pumasok sa kanyang nakalaylay na kwelyo, at si Isabella ay nanginginig sa init, ngunit hinawakan ni Nicklaus ang kanyang kamay at hinila siya palapit. "Marami akong gamot, ano gusto mong palitan?"

"Chels, you're turned on too, aren't you?" During a visit to the haunted house with my best friend, Chelsea Higgins, and her boyfriend, Ivan Benton, Ivan has mistaken me for Chelsea and has embraced me from behind. I can feel his warm palm slowly sliding up the hem of my skirt in the pitch-black darkness. At the same time, his hot breath keeps splaying over my nape and my earlobe. The most embarrassing thing is, I'm starting to get turned on by Ivan's actions for real.

At six in the evening, Allen Bennett prepared a perfect dinner, with each dish carefully chosen to match Sarah Foster's preferences. By seven, he had run her bath, adding lavender essential oils and rose petals to the warm water, filling the bathroom with a calming fragrance. By eight, he placed her comfortable slippers by the entrance, awaiting her return. At nine, the front door finally opened. Sarah walked in, and Allen immediately went to greet her. With practiced grace, he helped her out of her coat and placed her slippers before her feet, then hung the coat in the entryway closet. Turning to her with a gentle smile, he asked, "Would you prefer to have your bath first or would you like to eat?"

While we were scuba diving, my boyfriend, Raphael Carlisle, ripped off my oxygen mask and put it on his childhood friend, Lucia Fairchild, whose mask had started leaking. I was left thrashing helplessly in the freezing water. Just as I thought it was over, Raphael's younger brother, Gabriel Carlisle, swam over, breathed life into me, and brought me back to the surface. After he saved me, he presented me with the purple diamond ring he designed himself and proposed, "For as long as I live, I'll never let you face danger again." I believed that he was my one true love, so I married him, leaving my job behind to focus on starting a family. On the day Lucia was given a critical condition notice, I ended up in a car accident. As I lay half-conscious on the hospital bed, I overheard Gabriel talking with Raphael. "Get a doctor to induce labor right away! Lucia's illness can only be treated with a stem cell transplant from umbilical cord blood. The only reason I got Phoebe pregnant was for this very day." "But she's carrying our bloodline! How could you have someone hit her with a car?" Raphael yelled. Gabriel replied, "Lucy matters more to me! As for Phoebe, I can spoil her rotten once she wakes up." At that moment, I realized the love I held on to was nothing but a lie. If that was the case, I'd just leave.

Like me, it seemed my younger sister was reborn. In our past life, she was obsessed with the golden boy of the elite circle. She would ditch classes, get into fights, and race through the streets at night all for him. In the end, she died for him in a storm and blamed me for all of it. After her rebirth, she manipulated our parents into transferring me to his class, notorious for being the worst in school. "Sis, this time, it’s your turn to get bullied by him. To fall for him. To suffer like I did." I just smiled. Coming back to life didn’t make her any smarter. Even if she lived a hundred lifetimes, she would never be a match for me.

I've been married to Austin Salazar for five years. Every time I accidentally touch him, he'll force me to kneel in a pool of disinfectants while reciting verses from the Bible. But there was once when I noticed a bright red hickey on Austin's collarbone. Instincts propelled me to touch it for a fleeting moment. While Austin did lose his temper at me before storming out of our home, for once, he didn't tell me to get down on my knees. Naively, I thought that he's starting to get used to my touch. But the next day, my virginity is set to be auctioned off at the auction house where the rich and the powerful of Bannerton regularly visit. The auction will officially start in two days. While Austin's buddies calculate the price they can afford to bid with lewd expressions, he remains unmoved as he keeps cleansing his collarbone with disinfectants repeatedly. "How dare she touch the spot Carol has kissed before! Who does she think she is? Just the sight of her taints my vision!"

It was my 30th birthday, and my husband said he had a surprise for me. However, on the day of my birthday, he was nowhere to be found. I called him countless times, but no one answered. Just as I was about to panic and consider calling the police, I happened to see a post on the social media feed of his female secretary. “A typhoon hit, and my boss was worried about my safety, so he personally took me home. How wonderful! I’ve got a guardian angel for myself!” My anxiety turned to cold calm in an instant. I commented on her post: “Traveling during a typhoon is dangerous. Tell him he doesn’t need to come back.” Not long after I posted the comment, my husband called. “Kelly, I was only concerned about the safety of my subordinate, and yet you’re thinking such vile thoughts. “Birthdays come every year. Missing one won’t kill you!” You were right. Birthdays came every year. But there was no way I would celebrate them with you.

At first Madison and Gavin often get into conflict. Gavin was rude to her for no apparent reason. Eventually it changed, because of Madison's qualities that he sees every time they work together on their project and she also took care of him once when he got sick. Gavin also has an issue about his past that keeps on haunting him. His hatred of his father because of what he did from the past has made him fall into depression that he keeps on fighting. Gavin had many issues in his past that he could not get rid of so it was even moody sometimes with women. But it was Madison who calmed him down. They had a good first few months together. One day someone came back, from Gavin's past, Yvonne. The woman, who ruined Gavin's world, is now in turmoil. Yvonne all worked out a way for the two to get into trouble. Since Madison still did not completely get rid of the fear, suspicion returned to Madison so her relationship with Gavin became chaotic. Since then, Madison accepted the offer of arranged marriage and only to find out that Tristan will be the man she will be engaged with. Gavin’s band mate and best friend. When Madison found out, she readily accepted it. Because he knew Tristan. But Gavin became miserable. His girlfriend and his best friend are getting married. He begged his friend because he knew he loved Madison very much. Because he was her friend, they made a way to talk to Madison and Tristan's family to stop the arranged marriage. It has not been easy but eventually stopped as well. Gavin fixed his problem with Madison and proposed it in front of their friends and loved ones
