Kevin Gates Braids

Matagal ng inaasam ni Elise na mapansin siya ng kanyang ultimate crush at ang makaahon sa hirap pero nais niya itong gawin sa sarili niyang pagsisikap pero paano niya gagawin iyon kung pasan niya sa kanyang balikat ang mga kapatid at mga magulang na ini ire pa lamang ata siya ay nakalista na ang mga obligasyun at mga dapat niyang gawin. Tama, isinilang lamang ata sila para maging sunod sunuran at cash cow ng mga ito. Hindi man lamang niya magawang makabili ng kahit polbos o lipstik para naman masulyapan ng kanyang kababata. Eh paano naman mangyayari iyon gayung wala na ata siyang panahon kahit na ang huminga. Siya lahat mula sa gawaing bahay hanggang sa pagtatrabaho para may pagkain sa lamesa. Batugang ama, sakitin pero chismosang ina at mga pasaway na kapatid yun ang kalbaryo niya. Pero ang tadhana ni Elise ay nakatakdang magbago ng mabalitaan niya na ang kanya palang yumaong lola at ang lola ng kanyang binatang crush ay matalik na magkaibigan. Perahas may iniwang kasunduan ang dalawa at iisa ang sinasabi doon. Na ipapakasal sila ng kanyang crush sa takdang panahon. Labis ang naging kaligayahan ni Elise dahil sa wakas may pagkakataon na siyang makasama at mapakasalan ang man of her dreams. Si Kenzo Madrigal. Hindi akalain ni Elise na ang kanyang pinapangarap at ang lalaking laman ng kanyang mga panaginip ay siya palang magdudulot sa kanya ng bangungot at malalim na sugat sa kanyang puso at kaluluwa. Ngunit sa kanyang bangongot niya ay may sumulpot na guwapong prinsipe na nakalahad ang mga kamay at gusto siyang tulungang makaahon sa bangongot. Paano ba aabutin ni Elise ang kamay ng lalaking iyon kung ito ay walang iba kundi si Kevin Madrigal ang kapatid na panganay ng kanyang dating asawa?

She's still getting married but not with her groom-to-be because she's marrying a stranger! “Do you want to change the groom? Then... Why don’t you consider me, Miss? Marry me.” Umawang ang bibig ni Serena sa tinuran ng lalaking kaharap. Ngayon niya pa lang ito nakilala, hindi ba? Kasal kaagad ang inalok nito sa kaniya? Ngunit kung iisipin, ay kailangan niya ng groom… “P–Pakakasal na ako sa 'yo!” kaagad niyang tugon. Gumuhit ang misteryosong ngiti sa labi ng lalaking kaharap niya na siyang nagpalunok kay Serena. “Good decision. Tomorrow, you’ll be my wife.” ***** Bago pa dumating ang araw ng kasal ni Serena ay nahuli niya ang fiancé na si Alex at may ibang babae itong kasiping sa kasama. Ang hinayupak, talagang sa hotel room pa na kanyang binayaran ang mga ito gumawa ng kababuyan! Imbes na humingi ng tawad ay nagawa pa ni Alex na sisihin sa kanya ang ginawa nitong kasalanan. Aminado si Serena na hindi niya pa kayang isuko ang sarili kay Alex, dahil gusto niyang mauna ang kanilang kasal. Ngunit, ito na rin yata ang senyales na tama lamang ang ginawa niya, dahil isa itong manloloko! She didn't give him a second chance, but broke up with him and found another man to marry! Inalok siya ng isang estranghero, tanging alam niya lang sa pagkatao nito ay ex-boyfriend ito ng kalaguyo ni Alex. She agreed to marry the man named Kevin Xavier Sanchez, who turns out to be a billionaire and her big boss! Asawa siya ng isang bilyonaryo? Hindi ba siya nananaginip lang? “You're not dreaming, wife. Whatever I have is yours. My properties, money—everything, it belongs to you now. Do you like that, hmm?” Kakapusin yata si Serena ng hininga! Help!

CRAVED is Book #10 in the #1 Bestselling series THE VAMPIRE JOURNALS, which begins with Book #1, TURNED!

In CRAVED, 16 year old Scarlet Paine struggles to find out exactly what she’s becoming. Her erratic behavior has alienated her new boyfriend, Blake, and she struggles to make amends, and to make him understand. But the problem is, she can barely understand herself what’s happening to her.

At the same time, the new boy in school, the mysterious Sage, comes into her life. Their paths keep intertwining, and although she tries to avoid it, he directly pursues her, despite the objections of her best friend, Maria, who has her own eyes set on Sage. Scarlet finds herself swept away by Sage, who takes her into his world, past the gates of his family’s historic river mansion. As their relationship deepens, she begins to learn more about his mysterious past, his family, and the secrets he must hold. They spend the most romantic time she can imagine, on a secluded island in the Hudson, and she is convinced she has found the true love of her life.

But then she is devastated to learn Sage’s biggest secret of all: he is not human, either, and he has only a few weeks left to live. Tragically, just at the moment when destiny has brought her greatest love, it also seems fated to tear them apart.

As Scarlet returns to the high school parties leading up to the big dance, she ends up in a huge falling-out with her friends, who excommunicate her from their group. At the same time, Vivian rounds up the popular girls to make her life hell, leading to an unavoidable confrontation. Scarlet’s forced to sneak out, making matters worse with her parents, and soon finds pressure building from all sides. The only light in her life is Sage. But he is still holding back some of his secrets, and Blake resurfaces, determined to pursue her.

Caitlin, meanwhile, is determined to find a way to reverse Scarlet’s vampirism. What she finds leads her on a journey to find the antidote, deep into the darkest corners of rare libraries and bookstores—and to an ancient discovery she can hardly imagine.

But it may be too late. Scarlet is changing rapidly, barely able to control what she’s becoming. She wants to be with Sage—but fate seems set on tearing them apart. As the book culminates in an action-packed and shocking twist, Scarlet will be left with a monumental choice—one that will change the world forever. How much is she willing to risk for love?
