Miss Bustier

Zahara De Costello is a fierce and independent civil lawyer working at a prestigious law firm in Italy. She’s smart, driven, and never lets anyone walk over her—lalo na ang mga mayayabang at feeling powerful na tulad ni Arden Velasquez, the ruthless and arrogant CEO of an exclusive perfume company. Their first meeting? A disaster. Arden’s cold and demanding attitude instantly turns Zahara off. Pero hindi rin niya maitatangging may kakaibang presensya ang binata—dangerous yet intriguing. Kaya lang, bakit siya? Bakit siya pa ang gustong kunin ni Arden bilang personal lawyer nito? At first, Zahara refuses. Pero nang malaman niya ang mabigat na kasong kinahaharap ng CEO, she starts to wonder—what is he hiding behind those emotionless eyes? As she gets tangled in his world, she realizes that beneath Arden’s icy facade is a man carrying deep scars.

Nothing is ever going to be the same again. In a way I am glad, changes needed to be made, but for the people we have lost, there are some wounds that will never heal. My mate comes behind me and wraps me in a tight embrace. We have never been this close before. It feels like everything in the world, except the Goddess, has kept us apart. Let me step back. My name is Leah and I am the only daughter, only child of Alpha Benjamin of the Crescent Moon pack. We're a part of a cooperative pack alliance called the Concordat. I know, it's as pretentious as it sounds, note my eye roll here. All of our Elders got together years ago to come together for protection and to ensure the survival of our race. Our Concordat, yep say it as snooty as you can, was made up initially of 10 packs in the shadow of a vast mountain range. This alliance worked exactly as it was designed for about 5 generations. But the Elders became set in their ways and used to certain comforts. They stopped participating in regular pack training, only including themselves high rank training of the Alphas and Betas and begrudgingly dealt with the Lunas at the compound. Males were taught they were superior simply being male, not for any other show of merit. Women were seen, and that was only if dressed properly, and to produce strong male heirs. My father did not believe in females being lesser, so he trained me well from the time I could walk. I trained in secret, learning skills on and off the field. Let me take you on my journey through love, loss and truly knowing what it means to be a friend, lover, mate, leader and enemy.

Please make love to me like it's going to be our last night.” - Levana Heididea Lambrix Susulitin ko na lang ang mga sandaling ito na kasama siya dahil baka ito na rin ang huli. Kung magkita man kami ng hindi inaasahan, maaaring hindi niya ako makilala o kung makilala man niya ako, sigurado ako na matinding galit niya ang sasalubong sa akin. Handa naman akong tanggapin ‘yun.  Wala siyang kaalam-alam na ako tao na matagal na niyang pinaghahanap, ang taong nagtangka na tapusin ang buhay ng uncle niya noon at ako pa rin ang taong kikitil sa buhay ng nag-iisang pamilya niya ngayon.

"I can't wait. Naiinip na ako." Bulong sa'kin ni Ericjan habang pareho na kaming nakatayo sa harap ng altar. Napabungisngis na lamang ako dahil sa itinuran nito sa'kin. "Hindi pa nga nag sisimula si Father, pero naiinip ka na dyan." Sagot ko dito. "Of course.." Aniya at kumindat pa ito sa'kin, pag kuwa'y ginagap ng marahan ang palad ko na hawak hawak nito kanina pa. Pakiramdam ko nga din ay tumatagaktak na ang pawis ko roon dahil sa tensyong nararamdaman ko mula pa kanina. Agad naman kaming umayos sa pag kakatayo ng tumayo na si Father sa harapan namin upang simulan na ang kasal. Kagaya kanina, ganon parin ang bilis at pag tibok ng puso ko. Pakiwari ko nga'y unti na lang ay lalabas na sa dibdib ko ang puso ko. Mayamaya ay muli kong naramdaman ang masuyong pag pisil nito sa palad ko. Naramdaman nya siguro ang sunod sunod na pag papakawala ko ng malalim na buntong hininga. "Bago ko simulan ang seremonyas na ito.. Nais ko lang malaman kung may tumututol ba sa pag mamahalan at pag iisang dibdib nina Devee Oliveros at Ericjan Esparagoza? Kung meron man, mag salita na." Anang Father. Awtamatikong mas bumilis ang pag tibok ng puso ko dahil sa naging tanong ni Father.. Meron pa palang ganito pag ikinakasal? Katahimikan naman ang bumalot sa loob ng malaking simbahan kung saan dinadaos ang kasal namin. Mayamaya lamang ay biglang nag tayuan ang mga balahibo ko sa katawan, pakiramdam ko ay bigla akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig at biglang nagising sa katotohanan, ng may biglang sumigaw. "Itigil ang kasal..." Tinig ng babae.

I had just gotten home when a parent in my son’s class group chat erupted: [Ms. Zinn, what kind of place are you running? Do you let just any random stray off the street become a teacher?] [My daughter came home, grabbed two forks, and tried to jump off the balcony. She said it was Miss Never who told her to!] The homeroom teacher panicked and denied it at once, insisting there was no such person as Miss Never at the kindergarten. She even posted the official teaching schedule in the chat to prove it. On the security footage, there was not a single trace of this so-called Miss Never. However, later, my son whispered to me in secret, “Mom, Miss Never is an old lady with a cat’s face.” “She says only kids can see her.”
