Never Settle For Less Quotes Novels & Stories

Carmelle grew up carrying nothing but unanswered questions—sino siya talaga, bakit siya iniwan, at bakit ang pagmamahal na dapat ay para sa kanya ay palaging malayo, parang hindi niya kailanman maaabot. Abandoned by her family’s nanny right after she was born, kinuha siya at itinago, para si Morgana—ang anak ng yaya—ang mabigyan ng mas magandang buhay. Buhay na dapat sana ay kay Carmelle. Labing-walong taon ang lumipas, natagpuan siya ng tunay niyang pamilya. Pero imbes na yakap at pag-asa, malamig na tingin, paghahambing, at walang katapusang paboritismo ang sumalubong sa kaniya. Sa mata nila, she was never the daughter they lost—she was an intruder. Isang estranghero sa sarili niyang dugo. Si Morgana, ang adopted daughter na pinalaki nila, ang naging golden child. Palaging tama. Palaging pinaniniwalaan kahit walang ebidensya. Palaging pinipili, kahit mali na. At si Carmelle? Kahit anong gawin niya, palagi siyang mali. Laging siya ang sisi. Mga kasalanang hindi niya ginawa, sa kanya isinisi. Mga gulong hindi niya sinimulan, sa kanya ibinato. Hanggang pati si Anton—ang fiancé niya, ang taong akala niya kakampi niya ay unti-unting lumayo at naniwala sa kasinungalingan. Hanggang isang araw, unti-unting lumabas ang katotohanan. Lahat ng sakit, paninira, at paratang na ibinato kay Carmelle… si Morgana pala ang nasa likod. Hanggang kailan niya kakayanin ang mundong paulit-ulit siyang sinasaktan? Kakayanin pa ba niyang magpatawad kung ang puso niya ay unti-unti nang nagiging bato?

Para sa iba, siya ay bayarang babae at nakakahiya ang ginagawa niya. Para kay Vanessa, ito ang paraan para matustusan ang mahal niyang lola na may malubhang sakit. She convinced herself that sacrifices like this were necessary, kahit na pilit niyang tinatago sa puso ang pangarap na mahalin din siya ng kaniyang boss. Pero lahat ng iyon ay naglaho sa isang iglap nang bumalik ang unang pag-ibig ni Gerald, at bigla siyang naging walang silbi sa mata nito. Binayaran lang siya ng husto para sa tatlong taon niyang serbisyo at pinauwi siya kasama ang perang pambayad sa medical bills ng lola niya. Nakita niyang masaya si Gerald sa piling ng babaeng matagal na niyang minahal. At sa puso niya, kahit na pilit niyang ipinagkakaila, nasaktan siya. She thought one day, he’d notice her, he’d choose her… pero mali siya. Sa galit at kalungkutan, napunta siya sa isang bar. Isang gabing walang kwenta, isang lalaki na hindi niya kilala, at alak na nagpalakas ng loob niya.

She is now the wife of the country’s most dangerous and richest billionaire—Sebastian Montefalco. A man who could make her feel invincible, yet could also hurt her. And above all—a man she would never let go. Matutunan kaya niyang mahalin at tanggapin ang lalaking magiging katuwang niya sa paghihiganti kung hindi na siya naniniwala sa pag-ibig?

Sa madilim na sulok ng kanyang silid, isinumpa ng isang lalaki ang kanyang kapalaran.

At totoo nga bang panloloko lang ang naging dahilan ng babae sa paglapit sa kanya? Abangan ang kanilang kwento—isang kasunduang puno ng sakit, galit, at isang pag-ibig na pilit na itinatanggi.
