My First And Last

This book is authored by G O A. Why Tech Billionaire Artemis Rhodes would post such a thing?! "Everyone is talking about the hashtag that just went viral in less than a few hours. Nevertheless, this girl has become a mystery everyone wants to solve. In fact, we have pictures from several people who have seen the girl in person." The screen of the phone is small but I catch several pictures of me flashing on the screen. This can't be happening! You know that panic attack I had been pushing down? Well, that thing comes back with a vengeance. It feels like all the air is sucked out of me and my chest gets tight. My vision blurs and I register I'm falling just before things go dark. "Relax Miss Riley, this is Mr. Rhodes a donor to our hospital. This woman is his fiancee. I'll take things from here." The doctor says and steps aside to let the nurse out. I watch her scurry away before I focus on the doctor. He's an older man with white hair and a friendly face but he gives me weird vibes. Wait...did he just say, fiancee? "I'm sorry what did you say?" I ask. "I have a proposition for you." The man says. "A proposition for me? What do you mean?" "A proposition? It means-" I wave my hand. "Not that! I'm not an idiot. I mean what proposition?" "I want you to marry me." He says with a straight face. So I bet your wondering how a woman who lives in an abandoned train car ends up married to a big tech billionaire. Well it's simple. We ran right into each other, locked eyes and the rest is history.

Kehna had lost her mother when she was young she was only left with her dad who after awhile married her Stepmom. After her mother's death she still hadn't recovered yet, she wasn't doing so well in school anymore but when her dad got married nothing became better it all just became worse.

I don’t even know how our lips met. It just… happened, and he tastes sweet, like a gourmet dessert, and instantly, I want more. I can't even form a thought right now as I part my lips and our tongues dance together. It’s a primal force, instinct maybe, something telling me that at this moment, I have everything I have ever wanted in my life. I have a mate. I am complete. *** I always thought I was leading a good life, although I never quite felt like I belonged, until I met Devon, the gorgeous, sexy Alpha of the Emerald Moon pack whose mesmerizing gaze drew me in. Wolves? How could I be one of those? I find out I’m a hybrid, wolf and mage, and all this time I’ve never been a human at all. No wonder I didn’t fit in. But just as things are starting to come together for us, it’s all quickly torn apart as mysterious outside forces with an ancient hatred invade our world and threaten everything. Will the love of a true, fated mate save everything, or will it be my downfall?

It was a national holiday and we decided to drive back to my husband's hometown to spend the holidays. One day before we left, my husband's childhood crush came crying to him that she had not managed to buy train tickets home. My husband immediately decided to let her have my seat in the car and insisted that I take the train instead. I looked at him in disbelief. There was shock in my eyes. Even my son insisted I take the train. "Mommy, Aunt Rosie is so pretty. How could you make her take the train?" I did not argue. I booked my train ticket right in front of them. However, it was to my own hometown. I no longer wanted a biased husband and a disloyal son.

“Are you crying?" She shook her head and wiped at her face as more tears were falling. “I’m so stupid.” she groaned. "Now I am truly and utterly alone. If I had just said yes to marrying him, none of this would’ve happened. I wouldn’t have dragged you into this mess.” Without warning, I turned sharp to the side, putting the car to a sudden stop close to the curb. “Don’t ever say that again. You think marrying a man you don’t love, a man who doesn’t care if he hurts you, just to please your family is the right thing to do?” I turned to her slowly. “That would’ve ruined you.” “But I would’ve had a home to go to, I would’ve been taken care of. Now I have nothing,” she looked away. I reached over and gently took her bruised hand in mine. “You did the hardest thing anyone in your position could have done. You saved yourself. That takes more guts than standing there and pretending to be happy.” I tucked a hair behind her ear. “You think you are alone? You’re not… you have me.” ___ Alina Etienne has always lived a life dictated by her parents.

On the run and scared with nowhere to go, she crosses paths with Mikhail Antonov. A cold, guarded man with a past he doesn’t talk about. What began as a reluctant act of kindness turned into something neither of them expected.

“Alina, you will get late for school again” I heard Dad banging on my door. “Last 10 min” I mumble, but my eyes widen. I was with Uncle Harrison. Did Dad find us? “Alina…” I opened my eyes, I was in my room and Harrison was looking at me with a warm smile wearing his signature suit. “I am taking a bath” I yelled. “Come fast, your breakfast is ready,” Dad said before leaving. “Good morning” Uncle Harrison came to bed cupping my face he kissed me. “Good morning” I whispered on his lips. “When did you bring me here,” I asked. “You were sleeping,” He said, scooping me in his arms and entering my bathroom. “This hide and seek is terrible” I sighed. “But it's fun” He chuckled.

When I was born, I was already a certified liar. That's a fact that everyone seems to agree with. The truth is, my mom, who's a scientist, has implanted advanced chips into me and my fraternal twin brother, Ryan Hartwell, when we were still babies. By right, as long as we lie or make mistakes, our mom will receive the devil signal from the chips. Then, she'll administer electrical shocks as a form of punishment. Ryan's chip often transmits the smiley signal. Even if he destroys our mom's research equipment and pins the blame on me, his chip still has the smiley branded on it. Meanwhile, when I reach home ten minutes later than usual because I had to help out a classmate, my chip transmits the scary devil signal. The next thing I know, I've already crippled to the floor from the intense pain caused by the electrical shock. At first, I'll still explain to Mom what happened. But she often exclaims, "Don't think you can pull off clever little tricks just like that gambling father of yours! The chip is ten thousands times smarter than you! The punishments will only be branded into your bones if the pain is searing enough! What I'm doing is saving your life!" After suffering from the pain countless times, I get brainwashed into thinking that I really am a liar and a troublemaker by nature. On the night of Christmas Eve, Mom comes to the attic to tell Ryan to join the family at the table for the Christmas dinner. That's when my asthma suddenly acts up, causing me to stumble and fall to the floor. "I… I can't breathe… Save me, Mom…" But Mom just coldly gazes at the devil signal that she has just received on her phone. Then, she dials the shock value to the maximum. "You don't have asthma at all! Ugh, you're kicking up another fuss just to attract attention! Seriously, you never change your ways!" After that, she takes Ryan's hand and leads him out of the attic. Soon, she slams the door heavily behind her. As I suffer from asphyxiation while on my deathbed, I can't help but think that Mom is right. After all, my chip has just transmitted the devil signal. Maybe the asthma attack really is just a figment of my imagination. I've always been a bad girl who loves lying to others, after all. When Mom finds out that this is the last time I've ever lied to her, she must be really happy, right?

Sa lahat ng school, may maituturing na Campus curshes, Queen Bee, Ice Princess and Mr & Ms. Popular. Sikat na sikat ang pangalan na Cassandra Monteralba sa isang University sa Maynila hindi lamang dahil sa ganda o talino niyang taglay kundi dahil sa pagiging malamig, supalda, mataray at walang kinikilingan na kahit sino, kaya binansagan itong Ice Princess Pero kahit gaano kataas at lamig ng pader na matagal ng naitayo ni Cassandra ay walang hirap itong binasag at nilusaw ng isang masiyahin, malambing at hindi susuko na si Aubree Gonzales. Magagawa nga bang mapaibig at mapainit ni Aubree ang nagyeyelong puso ni Cassandra? Don't steal my story, this is my original.

Hindi ako gold digger. Oo, tatlong trabaho ang pinagsasabay ko. Server ako sa umaga, cashier sa hapon, at sa gabi, naglilinis ako ng kubeta sa isang bar sa Makati. Ako si Maria Tala Loresca, twenty-three years old. May utang na kasing lalim ng depression ko, at walang balak na lumaki ang interest nito. Kaya nang lapitan ako ni Lucas Salazar sa VIP lounge ng club na pinagtatrabahuhan ko isang lalaking nakasuot ng suit na halatang isang buwang sahod ko ang isang butones, may amoy na pangmayaman at kayabangan, at may titig na parang hinuhubaran na ako bago pa man ako magsalita, akala ko isa siyang manyakis na mayaman. "Five million. One night. No names, no feelings, no bullshit." Tiningnan ko siya. Six feet. Broad shoulders. At isang ngisi ng lalaking sanay makuha ang gusto niya. "Sure. Sige. Pero cash agad." That night, ikinama niya ako sa penthouse niya. Walang bulaklak. Walang kandila. Pagkatapos? Limang milyon sa bedside table. Umalis akong hindi siya ginising. Akala ko tapos na. Hanggang sa malaman ko ang totoo makalipas ang tatlong linggo. Ako pala ang sikretong anak ng taong pinakakinamumuhian niya ang ina ko ang babaeng sumira sa pamilya niya, at siya ang rason kung bakit namatay ang kanyang ina. Kaya ang plano ko ay paibigin siya. Pakakasalan ko siya. Gagamitin ang apelyidong Salazar para kunin ang lahat—pera, lupa, dignidad niya. Plano ko siyang sirain. Hindi ko inasahan na habang ginagawa ko 'yon, unti-unti rin pala akong mababaliw sa kanya. Sa mga kamay niyang humawak hindi lang ng katawan ko kundi ng pusong tinuruan kong maging bato. At ang masaklap? Kapag nalaman niya ang totoo—na ang babaeng hinuhubaran niya sa kama ay ang mismong dugo ng demonyong hinahangad niyang mamatay at hindi ako sure kung sino ang mas masasaktan. Siya ba? O ako?
