Just Like A Woman Lyrics

When I was in the early stages of brain cancer, my parents begged me to give my sister one of my kidneys. They also told me to give them the money I had saved for my treatment. When my sister left the hospital, it was her birthday. My parents threw her a party while I lay in a hospital bed trying to get better. Later, when my mom found out I had late-stage brain cancer, she begged my sister to give me a kidney. My sister said no. So, on the day of my funeral, my mom buried both of her kidneys with me.

"Ganyan ka ba talaga kadesperada, Airith? Pati kapatid ko ay pipikutin mo para lang guminhawa ang buhay mo? Pera lang ba talaga ang habol mo sa isang lalaki?" Iyan ang katagang dumurog sa puso ni Airith sa muli niyang pagbabalik sa bahay ng pamilya Vergara, lalo pa't nagmula mismo ang mga salitang iyon sa dati niyang asawang si Sebastian. Anak ng pinakamayamang negosyante sa kanilang syudad si Airith Almazan, pero inilihim niya ang pagkakakilanlan niya sa pamilya Vergara. Kaakibat ng kontrata nilang kasal ni Sebastian ay itrinato lang siya sa pamamahay ng pamilya nito na higit pa sa isang katulong sa loob ng isang taon, hindi bilang isang manugang. Hindi lang iyon, napagdesisyunan pa ni Sebastian na makipaghiwalay sa kanya sa parehong araw na ibabalita niya sana rito ang tungkol sa kanyang pagbubuntis. Makalipas ang dalawang taon, isang araw ay ipinadukot siya ni Stephen, ang nakatatandang kapatid ni Sebastian. Humingi ito ng tulong sa kanya at inalukan siya nito ng isang pekeng kasal upang tuluyan na nitong manahin ang kumpanya at maisalba sa nagbabadyang pagbagsak. Nalaman niya mula rito na mayroong makapangyarihang tao ang umaatake sa kumpanya ng pamilya Vergara kaya ito nalagay sa ganoong sitwasyon. Saka niya lang din nalaman na kagagawan pala mismo iyon ng kanyang ama, upang kaparusahan sa pang-aapi sa kanya ng pamilya Vergara noon. Sa kagustuhang ayusin ang ginawa ng kanyang ama, napagdesisyunan niya na tulungan si Stephen. Kasama ito ay muli siyang nagbalik sa bahay ng pamilya Vergara. Kalaunan, ang akala niyang pekeng kasal nila ni Stephen ay unti-unti na palang nagiging totoo kasabay ng unti-unting pagkahulog ng kanyang loob dito.

During my engagement party, the chandelier suddenly fell from the ceiling and landed on my head. However, my boyfriend shielded his junior as he dragged her to safety. Even when he saw blood coming out of my mouth, he hid aside with his junior in his arms. “They are just superficial wounds. They won’t kill you. It’s too dangerous here. Let’s wait for the paramedics!” However, he had forgotten he was the director of the emergency department. That night, I suffered a miscarriage, but he was having fun at a theme park with his junior to calm her down. I threw the medical report of my miscarriage at his face. After I decided to get married to another person, the once arrogant emergency doctor kept apologizing to me…

After dating in secret for seven years, Mitchell Zahn decides to propose to me on the day his birthday album is officially released. But during the birthday party, he publicly invites Isabella Claxton, a composer and my sister, to work with him. I follow Mitchell to ask him for an explanation. That's when I hear him and his friends chatting and joking inside the lounge. "You're so loyal to your first love, Mitchie. You couldn't wait to ask her to work with you upon her return. What are you going to do about Gabriella, though? Will she accept how your relationship ends when she's written so many songs for you?" After a moment, another person laughs and says, "To Mitchie, Gabriella has always been a replacement for Isabella. Now that Isabella is back, her replacement has to go. Don't you agree, Mitchie?" I wait for a long time before hearing a soft sound of agreement.

Flinn was never meant to fall for her. The plan was simple: a fake engagement to help him seal a billion-dollar deal and protect Rosemary from the dangerous ex who won't let her breathe. She's his best friend's baby sister. Off-limits. A single mom with fire in her veins and walls around her heart. But from the moment she walks back into his life, everything changes. One kiss turns into a night. One lie turns into longing. And one fake ring sparks something real-raw, messy, and so damn forbidden. Flinn is a billionaire with a bad rep and a closet full of secrets. Rosemary is a survivor, too strong to beg, too broken to trust. But their chemistry? It's explosive. Now lines are blurred. Rules are shattered. Hearts are on the line. And when the truth comes out... it just might burn everything down. Enemies-to-lovers. Fake fiancés. Real heat. One brutal truth: nothing about this was ever pretend.

I'm undressed and bound to a testing table when my family comes to pick me up. A thick, sharp needle pierces into my neck. A drug is administered into my blood, and the pain almost makes me lose consciousness. Behind me, I can feel a man's cold hands stroking my skin amorously. Before me, several people are staring at me. They point at me and treat me like an educational instrument. I tremble in fear and curl up on the testing table in pain. Three years ago, my brother sent me to Mykorra's war zone to stand up for Yvette Sanders. Those were the three most insulting and torturous years of my life. They burned away my hope for kinship but not my desire for survival. As the hands roam lower on my body, I bite my lip so hard that I almost draw blood. As the hands start to go overboard, someone knocks on the door. "Wendy Sanders, your brother is here for you."

My grandfather is a nationally renowned inheritor of an intangible cultural heritage. Today, I'm supposed to attend a grand ceremony as his rightful successor. However, when I arrive, I see my father's adoptive daughter already standing on the stage. She's dressed to the nines. She holds an award and is giving a thank-you speech, looking moved. In the past, I would've left without saying anything or speaking up for myself. Too bad for her that I'd been reborn. The discrepancy between our statuses is so large that we're basically from different worlds. Yet she has the nerve to claim to be my grandfather's successor and put on a show with what is supposed to be my family's.
