Like Water For Chocolate

I was six months pregnant when my husband, Michael Greene, shoved me off the edge of a yacht during a birthday party. Why? Because Lily Clement, his childhood sweetheart, had fallen into the water, and apparently, the yacht was too small for all three of us. After being pulled from the ocean, suffering from hypothermia and shock, I was taken to the hospital. Doctors determined that emergency surgery was necessary and required a family member's consent. However, no matter how many times they called, Michael never picked up. At the same time, lying in a hospital bed, I scrolled through Lily’s Instagram and saw the post she shared just hours earlier. It was a photo of the two of them, soaked but clinging to each other like lovers out of a movie. "Sometimes love comes from the most unexpected places. Thank you for always being there for me—quietly, selflessly, unshakably." That was all I needed. The day I was discharged, I left Michael a signed divorce agreement. If he wanted to be her knight in shining armor, I’d let him.

Sizzling hot in red pair of swimsuit, Raya walks confidently in the runway. She smiles genuinely and owns the stage like a queen. Napakuyom na lamang ng kamao ni Damielle Villacorda. Paanong ang namayapa niyang asawa ay nasa national Television ngayon at rumarampa bilang contestant sa beauty pageant? Soon, his question was answered. Ang nasa likod ng lahat ng iyon ay walang iba kundi si Rio Costor, ang pinuno ng kalaban nilang Mafia. But no one can stop Damielle, not even danger. Hindi siya papayag na hindi niya makuhang muli ang babae. By hook or by crook ay aangkinin niyang muli ang kanyang misis. Ngunit ang tanong, paano niya sisimulang makalapit sa kanyang asawa kung wala itong maalala sa nakaraan at ang kinikilala nitong pamilya ngayon ay ang pinuno ng kalaban nilang Mafia? Ano ang kayang isugal ni Damielle sa ngalan ng pag-ibig? Handa ba siyang palitan ang kanyang katauhan, maangkin lamang muli ang kanyang mahal? At mapapanindigan niya kaya ang kanyang desisyon kung ang kapalit ay ang unti-unting pagguho ng organisasyong pinaghirapan niyang itatag?

'Strip' his eyes glinted devilishly as he taunted me. My blood ran cold. There was no way I was going to strip for my boss, the CEO. Who was I kidding I was going to if I wanted to keep my job. And I desperately needed to keep my job! He was tapping his fingers impatiently on the desk as I thought through all the ramifications this could bring. I wouldn't even be in this position if he hadn't caught me red handed stealing a file of evidence for the opposing lawyer. One that if they read he would be able to twist away allowing his guilty client to go free. I didn't want to have to do this, but after being thrust into debt to save my sister and send her to rehab I didn't have a lot of choice. 'I'm waiting ...' his voice like ice as he watched me a deer in headlights. If I don't do what he asks I will not only be fired but face imprisonment for tampering with evidence. I took a gulp my shaking hands coming up to reach the buttons of my silk blouse as I slowly unbutton them. His eyes darken with lust as he watches my humiliation.

Dreams where he punishes her in a deliciously sinful way.
