Laughing Jack

Betsy Makabayan is your 'not so' typical bente-singko anyos raketera girl. Paano ba naman kasi maliban sa pagiging isang call center agent at sa iba-ibang raket na pinapatos niya, isa rin siyang magaling na artista. Isang araw, hiningan siya ng pabor ng isang babaeng haponesa, sa sa mga naging clients niya. Kapalit ng malaking halaga, si Betsy ay pumunta ng New York at nagpanggap bilang si Yuri Haruko. Kahit na walang kaalam-alam sa business world, naglakas loob lamang siyang magtungo doon. There she met Jack Wills, an American rugged looking guy who's convinced that Betsy is not the person who she said she is.

It was Christmas Eve. Once again, my parents left me alone at home, chasing triple pay at work. However, after twenty years of the same lonely holiday, I couldn’t take it anymore. I didn’t want to sit in the quiet house by myself again, so I packed up some sandwiches and went to them. What I didn’t expect was to see them stepping out of a luxury car, arms linked with a boy who looked about my age, laughing like they didn’t have a care in the world, heading straight into a five-star hotel. “Mom, Dad, is it okay to leave Suzie all alone at home like that?” My mom waved it off and said, “It’s fine. She’s used to it.” My dad just brushed it off with a chuckle. “She’s nothing like you. You're our real treasure.” Upon hearing that, I turned and walked away. They'd been pretending to be broke all these years, lying to me about working overtime, about scraping by. Well, fine. If they don’t want me, I’m done wanting them, too.

My name is Susan, and I'm the daughter of the Dark Moon Pack's Alpha. Per tradition, I was betrothed to Daniel, the crown prince of South Dania and the future Alpha King, to become his Luna Queen. However, he had been postponing our Marking Ceremony repeatedly, using the excuse that he wanted his coronation first. I thought he was simply being prudent, until I witnessed him proposing to another she-wolf, telling her that she was the one he truly wanted. He was even laughing about the engagement, calling it a necessary tool. Understanding that, I realized that he never formed the mate bond with me because he needed the freedom for adultery and not suffer the pain of backlash in treachery. He wouldn't acknowledge my status, but insisted that I fulfill my spousal obligations nonetheless. He didn't Mark me, while keeping me tangled in his web of lies. I hence decided to disappear in three days under the new moon, when everyone would be waiting to witness our Marking. I wanted to show him that not every wolf was willing to be a tool.

No one wants to face rejection from the person they love, nor does anyone want to be seen as weak and vulnerable. People want to be accepted for who they are, but the work-out stage is always not working out. Rachael Snyder has had it hard in life, being the first ever baby to be born as a wolf pup. At first, she had been cared for majestically, but her failure to wolf out makes her an outcast and a sudden threat to the pack. They all gave up on her, and her haters made her a laughing stock, a living mockery. She is further blessed by the moon goddess who gave her a mate, the Alpha of the Crimson moon Pack, Mike Freeman. Right in the open, he rejects her and chases her out of the pack, banished for eternity. In her search for survival, she meets Kelvin Alfred, the ruthless prince of the Lycans, who takes her in. What happens when the Ruthless Alpha King professes his love for her? Mike comes back, pleading for a second chance, and she unlocks her inner powers, which should have been concealed forever.

I'm finally bored after pursuing Hugh Freeman for ten years. I give up on him and get together with Christopher Sanders, who's always had feelings for me. Christopher lights the city's sky with fireworks throughout the night. He even buys a small island to propose to me. However, he goes missing right before the wedding. When I find him, I hear him talking and laughing with someone. "I only pursued Jessica to get on Hugh's nerves—I lost interest in her once I got together with her. "Still, I don't want to let her off so easily because of everything she put me through. That's why I'm going to leave her at the altar—to humiliate her. Fun, isn't it?" So, I decide to run away before he does. I turn him into the laughingstock of the city. Later, I hear that Christopher scours the capital in search of his missing bride. He never finds her, though.

My contract with the company is about to come to an end, and I'm already planning to renew it. But a few days before that, my boss, Dustin Kline, requested that I lower the percentage of my bonus in the project. The reason he gave is that I'm still young. Even if I were to take over other projects, I'd also do a good job. Dustin even made empty promises to me just so he could get me to give the projects I'm in charge of to Sandy Richmond, the new department manager in the company. When I refused to do so, he threatened to not give me my salary in order to get me to comply. The next day, the company is reduced to a laughing stock at the product launch event. Our client thinks the company's technological skills are too weak to back up the big talk, so they refuse to pay the remainder of the contracted sum. When Dustin begs me for help, I just look at him in amusement. "I refuse to get manipulated by anyone in this workplace. You're more than capable of dealing with your own problems. I believe in you, Mr. Kline."

I caught him red handed with his tongue in his mistress’ mouth on the night we were told I could never give birth. He humiliated me and made me a laughing stock. To spite him, I had a one-night stand with a handsome stranger who was the hotter version of him. On the night our pack is almost burnt down to shreds, my husband is asked to pick one person to save, and he picks her! His mistress! Condemning me to death even after everything I did for him! That is when he erupts from the shadows. HIM, the man who dared to go against the army of the great Redmoon, and the man I had a one-night stand with. “You disappoint me, brother. Father would turn in his grave for your cowardice.” He says to my husband. He is my husband’s brother, an illegitimate son of the late alpha king. He has returned out of spite for his father to possess everything the royal family has ever owned; and that includes me. He is the definition of evil and cruel, but immorality has never looked or tasted so good.

The doctor said my husband Ethan had dual personality. His primary personality was gentle and devoted. His alter — "Axel" — was reckless and wild. In five years of marriage, every time Axel surfaced, he'd fall for a different woman. Each time, I'd have to pull out our marriage certificate, walk him through our love story from the beginning, just to bring Ethan back. This time, Axel had set his sights on the new dance instructor. I dropped what I was doing at work, ready to go collect him from the psychiatrist's office — same as always. But outside the treatment room, I heard him on the phone with one of his buddies, laughing: "What can I say — I'm a hell of an actor. Five years and she still hasn't caught on." "Besides, why settle for the wife at home when there's so much more fun out there?" The panic I'd been feeling went very, very still. I pulled up my lawyer's number and texted him: Get the divorce papers ready.

"How could you come close to me? Did you forget that you belong to someone else?" I yelled. He frowned his eyebrow like he didn't get what I mean but then he smirked. "you're asking me how I came close to you? Did you forget 3 months ago you begged in front of me to fuck you" He uttered. I was startled at his words and then closed my eyes to digest what he said. "Did he use that word or did I miss hearing him?" I asked myself not believing that my Aaron could use such kind of words for me. I opened my eyes and looked at him with teary eyes. "What? why are you looking at me like this? Did I say something wrong? Didn't you're the one who asked me to fuck you" He scoffed. "No" I yelled... "I didn't ask you to fuck me... I'm not a whore. I asked you to make love to me" Tears rolled from my eyes. "Love" He starts laughing like a maniac.

Death, they say is inevitable. Kung oras mo na, oras mo na. Maayos naman ang takbo ng buhay ni Narisha Blaire kasama ang kaniyang nakatatandang kapatid. Nakakakain ng tatlong beses sa isang araw at may maayos na tinutuluyan. Kung may prinoproblema man, kadalasan ay sa pinansyal na aspeto ngunit nagagawan naman ng paraan. Ngunit may mga bagay na nangyayari sa ating buhay na hindi natin inaasahan. Dumaan ang tila isang malakas na na alon na siyang hahagupit sa buhay nila ng kaniyang kapatid. She almost thought of giving up. Masakit man ang alon na tumama sa kanilang buhay ngunit pinipili niyang bumangon at hindi tuluyang magpalamon sa malakas na hampas nito. But it was all too fast. One day, she was laughing and sharing her happy moments with her friends. One night, she faced the cruelty of her own death under the moonlight.
