Never Tell Lies

My mother kept a red notebook recording all of my sister's favourite things. She had a blue notebook for me too. When my mother was hospitalized, I took leaves from work to take care of her. My sister had never shown up. However, my mother recorded in the blue notebook, '15th March, I am not well and am hospitalized. Celine owed me 450 dollars for food allowance. I knew that was not a notebook about my favourite things, but a notebook of all of my expenses. Behind the closed doors, Mother said to Father, "Celine is an evil person. She always likes to compete with her sister. We must take a chance to steal all her money and leave with Belle. Later when we are old, we will ask her to take care of us. I think we should just ask her to pay us back all the money we spent on her that I have recorded in this notebook. I was devastated at that moment.

My pregnant colleague told me to get her a drink. However, she had severe stomach ache after the drink and suffered a miscarriage. In the hospital, she was crying about how I harmed her. Her family members beat me up badly, even extorted 150 thousand dollars in compensation from me. I made a police report and was ready to take legal action against them. However, his mother-in-law pushed me to the middle of the road, and I was crushed to death by being run over by a truck.

My CEO husband bribed the doctor to take the heart that was meant for our daughter and give it to his childhood sweetheart’s daughter instead. That same day, my daughter suffered a heart attack and died in my arms. Meanwhile, his sweetheart’s daughter’s surgery was a success. My husband was so overjoyed that he gave bonuses to the entire company. My rage and grief were too much—I coughed up blood on the spot. The doctor later confirmed my worst fear: I was already in the late stages of leukemia. I didn’t have much time left. Holding my daughter’s urn, I wandered home in a daze. My husband? He took his childhood sweetheart and her daughter on a trip around the world to celebrate a new life.

She knew he despised her. So why, after all these years, was he suddenly asking her to stay-and worse, to marry him?

Simula nang iwan sila ng kanyang ama ay natuto s'yang tumayo sa sarili n'yang mga paa. Lahat ng oportunidad na dumating sa buhay n'ya ay kaagad n'yang sinusungaban. Hanggang sa isang araw ay natagpuan n'ya ang isang lalaking estranghero sa gilid ng sapa na pinaglalabhan nila na puno ng sugat at walang malay na si Jeff Marco Del Carpio.

Kinalimutan n'ya ang sumpang hinding-hindi iibig kanino man. Kung kailan naibigay n'ya na ang buong tiwala at sarili n'ya dito saka n'ya naman natuklasan ang buong pagkatao nito.

Hanggang sa makalipas ang apat na taon ay muling nagkrus ang landas nila mismo sa building ng opisina nito. Ano ang gagawin n'ya kung inakala n'yang may mahal na pala itong iba?

Sa kagustuhang makatakas sa kamay ng mga hindi kilalang dumukot sa kanya ay nabundol siya ng sasakyan dahilan kung bakit naratay siya ng matagal sa Hospital. Ngunit sa kanyang pagising ay wala siyang maalala sa nakaraan maging ang kanyang pangalan. Halos mawalan na siya ng pag-asa sa sarili dahil sa malaking pinsala na natamo ng kanyang katawan. Kinupkop siya ni Carlos Montenegro ang lalaking nakabangga sa kanya inaalagaan siya nito, binihisan at binigyan ng pangalan. Lubos niyang hinangaan ang binata at hindi niya maikakailang may nararamdaman na siya para rito subalit unti-unti nang bumabalik ang kanyang alaala at patuloy siyang tinutugis ng kanyang nakaraan...nang kanyang mga nagawang kasalanan na kailangan niyang pagbayaran lalong lalo na sa binata. Hindi maatim ng kanyang konsensya kaya bago pa ang lahat ay inunahan niya na ito. Sa pamamagitan ng liham ay ipinagtapat niya ang Katotohan ng kanyang pagkatao at sa kanyang pagtalikod ng gabing iyon ay kasabay na rin doon ang paglimot sa binata. Hindi rin nakaligltas sa pandinig Kay Carlos ang pag-alis ni Rose. May parte sa puso niyang pigilan ang dalaga subalit nanaig parin ang galit at pagkasuklam niya rito. Para sa kanya walang karapatang mabuhay ang taong pumatay sa pinakamamahal niyang nobya na si Angelica at isinusumpa niyang magdurusa ito habang buhay subalit paano niya lalabanan ang damdaming iyon kung laging ipinapaalala sa kanya ang magandang imahe ng dalaga lalong lalo pa at dinadala nito sa sinapupunan ang nag-iisang maging tagapagmana ng kaniyang angkan.

When Isabelle's mother, an ambitious socialite, marries for the fourth time, she introduces Isabelle to her new stepfamily. To Isabelle's horror, her new stepbrother is none other than Logan Sinclair—the very boy who tormented her during high school. Seeing him again rekindles all the old fears and resentments. To make matters worse, Isabelle is soon hired as Logan's secretary at Sinclair Enterprises, the megacorporation run by Logan’s father.

The wounds of her past run deep, and the humiliation she endured at his hands isn’t easily forgotten. Can people truly change? Or is Logan just playing a long game, trying to manipulate her emotions once again?

As the daughter of a billionaire, I grew up in a world full of luxury. But when I turned 18, I gave everything I had to my brother's best friend, Nathan Gildon. He was the one my brother trusted most, the one he personally brought up. Nathan was smart and ambitious, and when he smiled, it felt as if he was handing you the whole world. I had had a crush on him for years. Last night, I thought he finally loved me back. I thought I wasn't just the girl who snuck glances at him across crowded parties anymore. I thought I was the woman he'd bring into his future. But the next morning, I heard him on the balcony, laughing with an investor friend. "Mavis is just practice. I need some experience before I pursue Claire. Besides, her family can open a lot of doors for me." I didn't cry, question him, or explain myself. I just packed my bags and changed my college applications. One week later, I was on a plane to Eltoria. And the man who betrayed me that night? He went crazy trying to win me back.

"A great alpha handles pack affairs outside, and chores at home." my mate Luke had posted. I stared at these words. It was a post from my mate, Luke's Instagram. In the picture he was in a vineyard pruning grapes. Chores at home? Luke who would not even help me to clean a table was actually helping someone else. He had left this morning saying he was going on werewolf business, but from these pictures he was at a she-wolf's vineyard in our pack. A bitter smile escaped my lips as I quietly liked the post and put of my phone. Whatever was coming next, I did not know. But I knew it was over.
