Karina Cruel Feet

Ava-Rose Redclaw is excited when she meets Alastor Drexel on her 19th birthday. He's handsome, powerful, and the Alpha of The Drexel Forest pack. Proud of the mate the Moon Goddess gifted her with, she wants to jump into her role as Luna only days after meeting. As soon as Ava-Rose touches the Drexel Forest pack's soil, her mate's true nature surfaces. He's a cruel tyrant, with a thirst for blood. Ava realizes that her mate has no love in his heart for her. Saddened by this fact, she turns to his younger brother, Beta Trenton Drexel and they begin a 10-year affair. He loves her dearly, but he loves his brother more, so much so, that he turns a blind eye to the abuse Ava-Rose endures by his brother's hand. Tired of the abuse and humiliation, Ava teams up with a White Witch she befriended who lives alone in the swamps. Winifred invites Ava to run away with her to a land far, far away, out of the reach of her mate. Ava sees this as the perfect opportunity, as she's been planning her escape for a while, knowing that the day is near when her secret will come out. On the day of the voyage, scores of she-wolves from near and far show up to journey with the Luna. They are tired of their abusive relationships as well. Days later and they arrive at Mount Hecate, a sacred place for white witches. Ava is content with getting revenge on the pack that tried to break her. Love is the furthest thing from her mind until she meets Typhon, a mysterious shifter that lives on the top of the mountain.

Sa loob ng siyam na taon, buong pusong ginampanan ni Isabelle Reyes-Santiago ang pagiging isang perpektong ina at asawa. Tahimik siyang sumuporta kay Lucas—sa kanyang negosyo, sa kanyang reputasyon, at sa kanyang ambisyon. Nanahimik siya sa likod ng camera, sa mga board meeting na hindi siya inanyayahan, at sa mga sandaling kailangan niya ng karamay pero wala ni isang halik o salitang ginhawa ang kanyang nakuha. Ang mas masakit? Wala siyang lugar sa sariling tahanan. Hindi lang si Lucas ang may paboritong kasama. "Mas gusto ko si Tita Karina kaysa kay Mommy!"—sambit ng anak nilang si Marcus habang nakangiti si Lucas, tila sang-ayon. Ginawa na ni Isabelle ang lahat para mapanatiling buo ang kanilang pamilya. Pero imbes na pagmamahal at respeto, ang gantimpala niya’y pagtataksil at pangungutya. Habang binubura siya mula sa buhay ng asawa’t anak, si Karina Sison—ang ex ng kanyang asawa—ang inilalagay sa pedestal. Ginawang presidente. Ginawang reyna. Hanggang sa dumating ang gabing iyon. Ang gabing tuluyan siyang nagising sa katotohanan—na minsan, kahit gaano mo kamahal, hindi mo na kayang manatili sa isang lugar na matagal ka nang hindi pinipiling mahalin pabalik. Pagod na siyang umasa. Pagod na siyang maging tanong sa pamilyang matagal nang may sagot—at hindi siya iyon. Kaya handa na siyang magpalaya. Handa na siyang iwan ang tahanang dati niyang ipinaglaban, sa piling ng mga taong mas masaya nang wala siya. Ngunit nang sa wakas ay iniabot na niya ang annulment papers sa kanyang asawa… Hindi galit ang sumalubong sa kanya. Hindi rin pakiusap. Kundi isang malamig na titig lang. Isang mapanganib na ngiti. At ang mga salitang… “You’re not going anywhere, Isabelle.”

Sebuah video unik viral dalam satu malam. Di dalam video itu, di puncak gunung yang diselimuti kabut, pacarku, Adriel Mahendra, berlutut dengan satu lutut dan dengan ekspresi yang lembut. Di tengah sorak-sorai, cincin di jari perempuan itu berkilau yang menandai dirinya sebagai calon istri Keluarga Mahendra. Dalam hitungan jam, video itu menduduki puncak berbagai daftar tren. Orang-orang menyebutnya sebagai lamaran paling romantis tahun ini. Isabel Santoso kemudian menulis pesan di akun media sosialnya. [Aku sudah menunggu pernikahan ini begitu lama, dan akhirnya sekarang benar-benar terjadi! Terima kasih!] Kolom komentar langsung dipenuhi seruan antusias. [Pewaris keluarga mafia dan wanita biasa? Suka banget!] [Seperti cerita di novel.] [Aku iri banget.] Aku mendatangi pacarku untuk meminta penjelasan. Tapi bahkan sebelum aku sempat membuka mulut, aku mendengar suaranya berbicara dengan sahabat dekatnya di ruang kerja. "Emangnya aku punya pilihan lain?" kata Adriel dengan nada suaranya yang sedikit kesal. "Kalau aku tidak menikahinya, ayahnya akan menjualnya." Temannya ragu sejenak. "Tapi bagaimana dengan Karina? Dia sudah bersamamu bertahun-tahun. Apa kau tidak khawatir dia bisa hilang kendali?" Adriel tertawa, sama sekali tidak peduli. "Terus kenapa kalau dia marah? Karina dan aku sudah bersama selama enam tahun. Dia tidak akan pergi. Dia tidak mungkin pergi." Hampir seluruh tubuhku terasa membeku saat itu. Sebulan kemudian. Aku menikah dengan pria lain di hari yang sama ketika Adriel dan Isabel menikah. Rombongan pernikahan kami bertemu di pusat kota. Sesuai adat, kami bertukar buket bunga di antara dua mobil pengantin yang saling berpapasan, dan jendela kami turun bersamaan. Saat itulah Adriel melihatku. Aku mengenakan gaun pengantin putih dan bukan bersamanya, tapi di dalam pelukan pria lain. Setelah bertahun-tahun mengenal Adriel Mahendra, wajah tenangnya yang selalu sempurna akhirnya retak untuk pertama kalinya.

I'm in a secret marriage with Jessica Justice, a female CEO, for eight years. In order to please Cole Miller, Jessica has almost gotten divorced with me 99 times so far. The first time she brings up divorce, it's because my socks' colors are mismatched. The second time she does, she claims that the way I mop the floor is too ugly. … The reason of the 98th divorce is that I step through the doorway with my left foot first. Every time divorce is brought up, I'll always beg Jessica to not go through with it in an extremely lowly and humble manner. After that, I'll accept her condition to get back with me, which is always a punishment. Apparently, my pain and suffering is the only thing that can make Cole smile. The punishments range from washing Cole's feet to eating 100 slices of mango—which I'm very allergic to—and getting sent to the ICU as a result. This time, since Cole is in a bad mood, Jessica decides to go with a thrilling punishment. "As long as you can climb up a tower of 6500 feet without wearing a safety line, I will never bring up divorce in front of you ever again." All color has been drained from my face. Still, I nod while gritting my teeth together. But the next day, Jessica brings up divorce to me for the 100th time. The reason is that Cole has climbed 6499 feet just to please her. But apparently I've climbed an extra foot, so I end up stealing his thunder. This time, I no longer plead to her to stay. Instead, I tell my grandpa that I agree to inherit my family's assets that are worth ten billion dollars. Heck, the number of socialites who yearn to marry me can line up to the moon and back.
