Names That Go With Ivory

"Miss Jackson, are you certain you want to undergo hypnosis? You should know that once the hypnosis begins, it cannot be reversed. Your body will be controlled by an alternate personality, and you will fall into a sleep from which you will never wake up again," the doctor asked in a grave tone from the other end of the phone. "Yes, I'm certain," Nina Jackson replied calmly.

Itinakwil ng ama kaya't anim na taong nawala sa Pilipinas si Jenna. Kailangan lang niyang bumalik ng bansa dahil sa trabaho. Hindi niya naman akalain na magugulong muli ang buhay niya nang bumalik ng bansa lalo pa at bumalik uli ang ala-ala ng nakaraang gusto na niyang kalimutan. Dumagdag pa sa sakit ng ulo niya ang "out of the blue" na proposal ng isang Zian Walton Escobar. Ni hindi niya personal na kilala ang lalaki kaya't ipinagtataka niya ang pag-alok nito ng kasal sa kanya. Hindi na sana niya sasakyan ang kahibangan ng lalaki dahil maaaring pinag-tripan lang siya nito lalo pa't alam niyang isa sa pinakamayaman sa bansa ang angkan nito. Ang tanging nakapagpukaw ng interes niya ay ang malaking pagkakahawig nito sa anak niyang si Xavier. Sino nga ba si Zian Walton Escobar?

When the fire broke out, I called my husband, Hector. He didn't answer. Instead, he ran straight into the flames—to save my sister, Emma. They held each other, clinging to life, while I was trapped in the basement, watching my calls go ignored until all hope burned out. Afterward, Emma played innocent, twisting everything. She told him, "Hector, don't blame Sienna. She didn't leave me on purpose... she was just scared." Her lie made me the villain, and everyone bought it. Fueled by hatred, Hector spat, "She's so vicious—why didn't that fire just take her?" Three months later, the police found my body.

After the video exposing my sister Issa Acosta’s plot against me was revealed, my parents and my fiancé, Henry Nolan, stood firmly by my side, making me feel loved and safe. I confidently handed over all the evidence to them, trusting them to handle it. However, they told me that after Issa was kicked out of the house, she died in a sudden car accident, and I believed them. That was until five years into my marriage, when I accidentally saw Issa—the woman who was supposed to be dead. She was holding a little boy, clinging tightly to Henry’s hand. "Henry, if it weren’t for you and my parents, I’m afraid Zoe would’ve thrown me in prison. Thankfully, my parents destroyed the evidence and even opened a jewelry design studio for me. To avoid suspicion, you even sacrificed your own marriage. Thank you for everything in the past five years.” "Think of it as me atoning to Zoe on your behalf. As long as you and Bear are happy, that’s enough for me." So, what I thought was a happy family was nothing more than a giant lie—a scheme concocted by my parents and Henry. My parents, my husband, and Issa were the real family, and I? I was just the fool who had been deceived for five long years. Whether it was family or love, none of it was real, and I don’t want any of it anymore.

Naglakbay siya pabalik sa panahon sa larawan, nakilala ang lalaking iyon, at natagpuan ang sagot sa tanong na iyon. Inisip niya ang lahat, ang kanyang kasintahan.

At my wedding, my bridesmaid shamelessly flaunted my wedding ring. Then she had the audacity to put on a pitiful act right in front of me. My husband dismissed it as a trivial matter and scolded me for overreacting. Without hesitation, I left him and filed for divorce. If these two shameless people were so fond of each other, they could have each other.

Sinalo na yata ni Elizabeth ang lahat ng kamalasan sa mundo nang malaman na ‘matandang makunat’ pala ang papakasalan niya para maisalba ang kompanya ng taong nagpalaki sa kanya. Kaparehong rason kung bakit ipinagpalit siya ng kanyang boyfriend. Galit sa lahat at gustong maghiganti, niyaya ni Elizabeth ang taong nakabangga niya palabas—si Wulfric, na kunin ang kanyang virginity. Wulfric, the gray-eyed sexy beast gave her the experience she wouldn’t forget. Lalo na’t pinabaunan siya nito ng kambal sa kanyang sinapupunan. Secrets, betrayal…she doesn’t have a choice but to seek help from the father of her twins. But only to realize, that Wulf was the man she was running from. Hell, hindi matandang makunat ang pinakasalan niya!******* “A-Are you single, Sir?” Elizabeth asked in a shaky voice. He angled his head and his lips became firmer than it was.“Pop my virginity. I’m giving you my piece of hymen.”“You look fragile. Your eyes are sad.” “M-My boyfriend cheats on me.” Muling nagkumpol ang mga luha sa gilid ng kanyang mga mata. That was when Liz saw death in his ash-gray eyes. ——Wulf stared at the twins. “He is our daddy!” they said in unison. Naistatwa siya nang mabilis na tumakbo ang dalawa at yumakap sa kanyang mga binti. Labas ang gilagid na ngiting-ngiti ang batang babae. Nagningning ang mga mata nito nang tumingala sa kanya. “Daddy, we found you!”
