Mémoire Mga Nobela at Kwento

"You're a virgin?!" sigaw ni Lysander Cuevas saka umalis sa ibabaw niya. Hinilamos nito ang palad sa mukha, trying to absorb everything that just happened. Trying to fully understand how could his wife be a virgin when she's supposed to be pregnant, the very reason of their forced marriage. "Papaano?" tanong ni Lysander at saka pinagmasdan siya na kumuha ng kumot upang takpan ang hubad na katawan. She trembled in fear as she finally looked up to him. "I'm Isabella, the twin sister of Gabriela, your bride." - Pinahid na lamang ni Isabella ang mga luha na lumalandas sa kanyang mga pisngi habang inaalala ang nangyari noong gabing iyon. After that confrontation ay agad na nagdesisyon ang asawa niyang si Lysander na palayasin siya sa mansyon. Ang malupit pa nito ay agad pinaasikaso ni Lysander ang mga papeles para sa legal nilang paghihiwalay, ngunit hindi niya iyon tinanggap. "Señorita Isabella, naghihintay na po ang sasakyan sa labas," sambit ng lalaking nasa likuran niya. It was her grandfathers' assistant. Tumango lamang siya dito, "susunod na ako, salamat." Muling lumingon si Isabella sa mansyon at doon ay namataan ang asawang si Lysander na nakatayo sa balcony at matalim ang tingin sa kanya. Hinihinntay niyang pigilan siya ni Lysander ngunit wala itong ginawa. Sa puntong iyon ay tuluyang tumalikod si Isabella at naglakad patungo sa naghihintay na sasakyan sa labas ng malaking gate. She's going home to the Herrera's. She looked at the facade of the mansion where she once lived. "Babalik ako." She whispered. - This is the story of Isabella Herrera-Cuevas, a castaway wife who made her way back to her rightful place, as Lysander Cuevas wife.

"Ahhhh uhmmm. Enjoying my cock?". He smiled. A smile of victory. He won from some games na sya lang ang nakaka alam sa kanyang utak. "Akala mo uubra sa akin yang palabas mo na hindi ka makagalaw? I'm not as idiot as you think Princeton". "Go on now, suck it deep Melissa. Uhhh lick my balls, dilaan mo lahat hanggang singit." Saad nya. I didn't talk back at basta na lang sinunod ang gusto nya. "Nagbago ka na Melissa, akala ko lumaki lang ang ulo mo dahil sa namana mong yaman nung nag eighteen ka, turned out that you grew up good being a whore too and very good at sucking dick". Babaeng tagapag mana si Melissa na namatayan ng asawa sa mismong araw ng kasal nila. At ang suspek nya? ang kanyang body guard na si Princeton na sinesante nya nung araw ding yun dahil yung ang gusto ng asawa nyang ilang oras lang ang lumipas ay nasabugan ng bomba at oras lang din ang pagitan mula ng umalis ang nasesanteng body guard sa venue. Nung gabi ding iyon ay pinuntahan nya ang body guard na si Princeton pero wala daw syang maalala. Kaya wala syang nagawa kundi magpatulong na hanapin ang salarin kahit pa sya pa rin ang pinagduduhan nyang may gawa nito. Pero sa paglipas ng gabi ay unti unti syang natukso sa makisig at matipunong katawan ni Princeton hanggang sa may mangyari nga sa pagitan nila habang pinagluluksaan nya ang kanyang kamamatay lang na asawa.

Si Xerxes Santillan III o mas kilala bilang Tres ay isang magaling na CEO sa mismong family business nila. Kilala ang kanilang kompaniya sa bansa at halos lahat sa kaniya ay perpekto. Mabait, guwapo at supportive. Maliban do'n, maganda ang kaniyang buhay, at may maganda ring singer na girlfriend. Ngunit sa kabila ng perpekto niyang buhay ay hindi pa rin niya mapapayag ang babaeng minamahal sa isang kasal. Parati na lang siyang naghihintay at sumusuporta sa mga pangarap nito. "Babe, please give me one more chance. I'll make sure na after nitong crusade performance ko sa Italy, ay magpapakasal na tayo." sabi nito sa kaniya sa ika-apat na proposal niya kay Lian. Tinakbuhan lang naman siya nito at walang sabi na umalis patungong airport. "Pero ang sabi mo, after ng concert mo sa Paris ay sasagutin mo na ako." giit niya, pero hindi niya pinaalam na galit siya at dismayado. "I'm sorry, babe. Babawi ako sa'yo after, okay?" Kung kailan nakahanda na ang lahat ay saka naman ito aalis bigla. Mahal niya ito, kaya kahit anong pilit niya, kung mahal din nito ang pangarap nito, ay wala siyang ibang magagawa kundi ang mahalin rin ang pangarap nito. Sa kaparehong araw, namamalayan na lang ni Travis na kasal na siya at nagising sa isang kama na may kayakapan na ibang babae at walang saplot. Ano kaya ang magiging love story ni Travis, gayo'ng nagtaksil na siya sa kaniyang nobya?

Travis Villaflor does not lose. In business, he conquers. In life, he dominates. With godlike beauty, ruthless intelligence, and power that bends men twice his size, he has built an empire where everything and everyone falls into place exactly as he commands. And he belongs to Cathyrine Reva. At least, that is the lie he has repeated for years. Because there was once a boy. Raine Montemayor. Fifteen years of age. Soft-eyed and devoted. Recklessly in love. A boy who trembled but still offered everything. His body, his heart, his soul. And the confession, it terrified him. So he crushed it. “I’m straight,” he said coldly. “I only see you as a brother.” And just like that, he destroyed the only person who had ever looked at him as if he were something more than a god. Raine left for Canada soon after. Travis thought distance would erase the memory. Well, it didn’t. Years later, Raine returns. But the boy Travis rejected is gone. The man who steps off the plane is controlled and polished. Sinfully beautiful. His smile no longer innocent, but knowing. His presence no longer pleading, but commanding. Raine no longer looks like he belongs to him. And that is unacceptable. He has a girlfriend, a reputation and a name built on control. Yet every time Raine turns away from him… every time someone else dares to touch him… Jealousy tastes like blood in his mouth. He wants to drag him close. Mark him. Remind him. “You think you’ve outgrown me?” Travis murmurs one night, voice low and dangerous. “You think you can come back here and pretend I don’t own every part of you? You're wrong baby. You're mine, only mine. Even your brothers can do nothing about it. I possess you.

Seigfreid Matthews has been in love with Leyla Jimenez since childhood. Hindi maalala ni Seig kung kailan iyon nagsimula, basta namulatan niya na may nararamdaman para sa nakababatang kapatid ng best friend niya. Seig and Ley grew up together, but for some reason, Ley dislikes Sig for his angst and bad boy image. Mas gusto ni Ley iyong lalaki na responsible at mapagkakatiwalaan, katulad ng kaniyang long-time crush na si Emerson Sandoval. In their elementary days, Ley rejected Seig. High school came, Ley hated him more. On their graduation day in college, Ley officially introduced Emerson as her boyfriend. Seig was devastated, but that only made him want her more. Call him obsessed, but he didn't care. He will make her his, and this time, he'll make sure she will say yes to him. "I now pronounce you, man and wife. You may kiss the bride." Matatalim na mga titig na ibinabato ni Ley kay Seig. She doesn't want to be his wife; she only wants Emerson to be the only man she will call her husband. "You should know that I only married you for Emerson. Siya ang dahilan kung bakit pumayag akong magpakasal sa'yo, I love him that much that I'm willing to sacrifice my life for him. Huwag mong kalilimutan iyan, siya ang mahal ko." He wanted her so much that he doesn't care if it will make his heart bleed to death. Basta ang alam niya ay gusto niyang makasama ang babae hanggang sa pagtanda nila. "You can say whatever you want, but you're my wife now. And I'll make you fall for me." He smirked as he stole a kiss from her lips, "Deep and hard. Huwag mong kalilimutan iyan, paiibigin kita, Mrs. Leyla Matthews" Without any warning, he pulled her and devoured her lips.

I successfully disappeared for five years. Five. Whole. Years. Do you understand how hard that is when you're internationally hunted, emotionally unstable, and raising a five-year-old child who thinks hiding under restaurant tables counts as "stealth mode"? I had a plan. Disappear quietly. Protect my daughter. Never see Caelan Valecrest again. Simple. Effective. Emotionally catastrophic, sure, but effective. Except apparently the universe looked at my suffering and said, "Needs more comedy." Because after five years of hiding from corrupt billionaires, secret syndicates, and people who think illegal human experimentation is a fun hobby… I got exposed by a child with pigtails and zero survival instincts. "Daddy!" That's what Kaeliviane yelled. In public. Directly at Caelan Valecrest. Do you know what kind of spiritual damage that causes a person? Caelan froze. I froze. Even the waiter carrying champagne froze. Meanwhile, my daughter was smiling proudly like she'd just solved world hunger instead of detonating my entire life. Now Caelan keeps appearing everywhere "coincidentally." Sir, you are the CEO of Valecrest Global Holdings. You do not accidentally appear at playgrounds carrying strawberry milk and dinosaur bandages. And why is he good with children?! One minute he's terrifying billionaires in boardrooms, the next he's kneeling on the ground helping Kaeliviane bandage her stuffed rabbit because apparently "Mr. Bunbun had emotional damage." Traitorously, she adores him. Absolutely obsessed. Yesterday she told me, very seriously: "Mommy, Daddy looks scary but his eyes become sparkly when he sees me." I nearly passed away. Meanwhile, I'm trying very hard to survive secret organizations hunting my family, assassins who don't believe in personal space, emotional trauma, and the deeply unfortunate realization that I might still be stupidly in love with Caelan Valecrest. Honestly, being chased by international syndicates was less stressful.

WARNING: Contains explicit scenes, intense heat, and a hero who plays dirty. Proceed with caution. SYNOPSIS Si Ava Dominique ay dalubhasa sa pagtakbo. Iniiwasan niya si Zion Alexander—ang pogi, madiskarte, pero "unfiltered" na businessman—dahil sa isang malaking pagkakamali: Akala niya, si Zion ang boyfriend ng kanyang kambal na si Aria. Habang todo-kayod si Ava para suportahan ang palamunin at cheater niyang boyfriend, si Zion naman ay may ibang plano. He’s the twin who didn’t go to Harvard but built an empire through pure grit—and he’s been eyeing Ava since day one. Nang mahuli ni Ava ang boyfriend niya na may kargang iba, doon nagtapos ang pagiging "good girl" niya. In a moment of pure heartbreak, she crashes into the arms of the one man she thought was off-limits. "Z-Zion... stop! My sister... your brother..." Ava panted, her back pressed against the cold office door. Zion chuckled, a dark sound that made Ava’s knees melt. He trapped her with his massive arms, smelling of expensive bourbon and raw power. "My brother is a saint, Ava. But me? I like getting my hands dirty," Zion whispered, nipping her earlobe. "And for the record... Zane is at dinner with your sister right now. So, who are you moaning for?" Ava’s eyes widened. Maling kambal. Pero nang maramdaman niya ang kamay ni Zion na humahaplos sa kanyang hita, nawalan na siya ng lakas tumakbo. "You're... not Zane?" she gasped. "God, no." Zion smirked, his eyes burning with hunger. "I’m the twin who’s about to make you forget your own name." He claimed her lips in a kiss so wild, it tasted like a beautiful, forbidden sin. At doon nalaman ni Ava—ang "maling akala" pala ang pinakamasarap na pagkakamali sa buhay niya.

Trinity was on top of the world, the queen of queens. But the next thing she knew, ay dinukot na siya ng masasamang loob at ngayon ay pagsasamantalahan pa. She heard his voice and remembered him from the pool party. Nagpakilala itong Red, at ganoon din ang naririnig niyang tawag ng mga kasamahan nito dito. He began to touch her in all the areas where she had never allowed anyone to touch. He started kissing her neck as he slid his burning hands inside her panties. Her screams and cries were gagged. Hindi niya alam kung guni-guni niya lang ba, pero parang narinig niya itong bumulong ng "I'm sorry", sa gitna ng mga kahayupan nito. She was blindfolded, and from the dirty talks and sickening laughter around her, she could tell that what is happening right now, is not a private. She had lost track kung ilang beses siyang inangkin ng rapist niya. She was rescued, but her life will never be the same. Lalo na nang malaman niyang nagdadalang-tao siya. Itinakwil siya ng pamilya niya dahil sa kahihiyan. Makalipas ang limang taon, siya na ngayon si Jade Contemplacion. Malayo sa buhay na kinagisnan niya, tahimik silang namuhay ng anak na si JM sa eskwater ng Tondo. Ngunit nabago ang lahat nang makilala niya ang fiance ng ate niya...na walang iba kundi si Brigader General Juan Miguel Enriquez, na mas kilala sa defense force call sign nitong 'Red'. She was ready to hate him all her life. Pero paano niya gagawin iyon kung paunti- unti nitong pinapatunayang mali ang lahat ng assumptions niya dito noon? That he could, in fact, be the husband-material type and a good father? Will Jade be able to forgive the man who ruined her life and actually let herself fall in love with him?

Sa loob ng limang taon, buong pusong minahal ni Bettina si Elijah. Ngunit sa mismong araw ng kasal nila ay tinalikuran siya nito dahil kay Agatha—ang babaeng ilang beses nang nagtangkang magpakamatay para makuha ang atensyon ng lalaki. Saka lamang napagtanto ni Bettina na kahit gaano pa kalalim ang ibigay niyang pagmamahal ay hindi siya pipiliin ni Elijah. Kaya nilisan niya ang lahat at nagpasya na magsimula ng bagong buhay. Pero hindi niya inaasahan na sa isang gabi ng kalasingan, aksidente niyang naka-one-night stand ang isang bilyonaryong lalaki at mortal na kaaway ng kapatid niya—si Evander Hudson! Kinabukasan, dahan-dahang nagtangkang tumakas si Bettina ngunit bigo siya nang biglang may humawak sa kanyang paa at hinila pabalik. “After everything you did to me last night, you’re really going to run away?” sabay turo sa marka sa leeg niya. “Ganyan mo ako hinalikan… and you're not even going to explain what we are now?” Kilala si Evander na malamig at walang interest sa mga babae. Pero walang nakakaalam na matagal na niyang minamasdan nang palihim si Bettina. Simula nang mapunta ito sa kanyang bisig, hindi na niya ito pinakawalan pa. Naglabas pa siya ng sampung bilyong piso para bilhin ang isang private island resort sa Cebu para kay Bettina. “If you don’t want to stay in Manila, then let’s turn this place into a paradise. Just for you, Tina.” “Akala ko Evan hindi ka interesado sa babae?” “I’m not interested in anyone else. But you're the only exception.” Pero paano kung mahulog ang puso niya kay Evander? Ano na lang ang sasabihin ni Bettina sa kuya niya?

"W-what the fudge am I gonna do?” Citrine found herself in a panic as she saw the blood flowing in Rivers"s stomach. “Don"t you dare die on me! I'm telling you River!"She hasted in a very panic tone because she can’t afford to see a person dying in front of her. P-pwede tumahimik k-ka?” Nahihirapang salita ni River sa kanya habang sapo-sapo nito ang kanyang tiyan na may tama ng bala. Kinuha nito ang kanyang kamay upang ipangtakip sa sugat nito na mas lalo niyang ikinataranta. “F-fuck! Come on, Ill take you to the hospital! "She shouted when she felt his body was hot. Sinapo pa niya ang noo nito but River refused to be touched. She was stunned to speak again when she noticed how River gave him a look while breathing heavily. “Kapag pumunta tayo ng hospital, Tatakasan mo ko, Hindi pwede. D-dito ka lang," Sagot nito habang tinitiis ang sakit. River was one of the members who tried to kidnapped him. In his state, she could easily leave him and escape but how could she leave the person who also tried to keep her safe? She was about to move her hands when she felt River had passed out. She slowly moved near to his heart to check if there is any heartbeat. Muli siyang nag-panic ng hindi niya maramdaman ang tibok ng puso nito kung kaya't napahawak siya sa magkabilang pisngi nito at tinignan ang nakapikit na binata. She automatically pressed her lips against him to give him a CPR but he wasn't moving! She was lost when she suddenly felt his lips was moving and there! She just kissed her hot kidnapper! How on earth and heaven that this gorgeous, fine young man, good-looking and stud-muffin guy became her kidnapper?
