Niño Adorable Del Ex

“Pipay!” galit na sigaw ng aking madrasta mula sa kanyang silid habang abala sa pag-aayos ng kanyang mukha. Halos magputok ang ugat sa kanyang leeg, na para bang ako ang dahilan ng lahat ng problema niya sa buhay. “Bakit po, Madam?” mahinahon kong sagot habang tuloy sa paglalampaso ng sahig. “Madam”—iyon ang itinawag niya sa akin mula pa noong una, at dahil sa takot, hindi ko na rin inusisa kung bakit. Ako nga pala si Piazza Fontana Vega, o mas kilala bilang Pipay. Dalawampu’t dalawang taong gulang na ako, ngunit hanggang Grade 5 lang ang naabot ko. Natigil ako sa pag-aaral noong mag-asawa muli ang aking ama. Simula noon, naging parang alipin na ako ng aking madrasta. Araw-araw, pareho lang ang eksena sa bahay. Ako ang gumagawa ng lahat ng gawain habang si Madam at ang kanyang anak na si Claire ay nag-e-enjoy sa luho ng buhay. Pero kahit ganoon, may lihim akong pangarap. Minsan, sa mga tahimik na gabi, iniisip ko kung darating ba ang araw na makakawala ako sa ganitong sitwasyon. “PIPAY!” muling sigaw ng aking madrasta, na tila mas nagiging galit pa. Agad kong iniwan ang mop at tumakbo sa kanyang kwarto. Kailangan kong magmadali. Kapag natagalan ako, mas matindi ang parusa. “Madam, may kailangan po ba kayo?” magalang kong tanong sa aking Madrasta. "Bakit ba ang bagal mong kumilos? HETO! Labhan mo pati ang damit ng anak ko!” sigaw niya, sabay hagis sa akin ng maruruming damit. Tumama ito sa aking mukha, pero wala akong nagawa kundi damputin ang mga ito. “Opo, Madam,” sagot ko, habang pinipigil ang pagbagsak ng luha.

Mahinhin, maingat sa kinikilos, mahinahon, mapagkumbaba, at mapagtimpi. Yan ang mga katangian ng isang Maria Clara. Pambahay lamang ang mga babae at hindi ito pwedeng makipagsalamuha sa mga kahit kaninong lalaki. Pero paano kapag ang babae ay magpapanggap na lalaki? Basahin natin at subaybayan ang mga isinusulat ni Corazon sa kanyang talaarawan bilang isang babaeng naging guardia civil sa panahon ng mga Kastila.

​Sa edad na twenty-seven, namulat si Nica sa hirap ng buhay. Dahil sa pangangailangan para sa kanyang ina na nakaratay sa ospital, pinasok niya ang mundo ng online entertainment, ang pagpapa-sexy sa harap ng camera kapalit ng mga gifts. Ang hindi niya alam, ang masugid niyang viewer ay hindi lang nasa likod ng screen, kundi nasa likod din ng pader ng kanyang kwarto. ​Kilala ang kanyang Ninong Alaric sa barangay nila bilang isang konsehal na lihim ding bilyonaryo. Lapitin ito ng babae pero mapili, kaya sa edad na thirty-five ay wala pa itong nagiging seryosong kasintahan dahil mas inuuna ang trabaho. ​Nang mahuli ni Nica ang paninilip ng ninong, imbes na matakot ay naging mitsa ito ng isang mapusok na kasunduan. Habang abala si Nica sa pag-akit sa kanyang live viewers, lihim namang kinakain ng ninong niya ang namamasa at namumula niyang pvke habang siya ay umuungol sa harap ng camera. Pagkatapos ng trabaho sa online, doon naman siya tuluyang kinakantót ng kanyang ninong. ​Naging parausan siya ni Alaric hanggang sa isang araw, nabuntis siya nito. Panagutan kaya siya ng kanyang ninong?

For ten years, Autumn Lewis and Julian Carter were childhood sweethearts. After three years of marriage, all she got in return were injuries, neglect from her brothers, and betrayal from her husband. When Autumn found out she had stage-two stomach cancer, something in her finally let go. She picked herself up and rose from an unnoticed employee to a powerhouse in the tech world. As soon as the divorce cooling-off period ended, she tricked Julian into signing the papers and made a clean break. The next time they met, the ever-calculating Julian’s eyes turned red as he tore up the divorce certificate. “Autumn, I was wrong. We’re not getting divorced. If I could give you my stomach, I would—just please don’t leave me.” Her once-proud brothers now pleaded, “Autumn, forgive us. Your sister-in-law is filing for divorce. Could you spare us some money?” Just then, a man stepped out from behind her, lifted his shirt slightly, and sneered. “Autumn, why waste your time on these jerks? Look at me instead.” Indeed, affection that came too late was worth less than dirt. She didn’t care for it anymore.

“Let go of me.” I took in deep breaths and pushed him away but this man was way stronger than me. “Let me show you that I am a changed man.” He pulled me closer once again. “Let me love you.” I had never seen this man beg before but for the first I was. But the Gabriella he wanted was long gone. The Gabriella he wanted had died the day she found out he was cheating, she had died the day she took her things and left NewYork with her unborn baby. I would never let him come close to me or my child and I’ll also never let him go for hurting me.

"You will be treated like nothing except my fuck toy. You will get spoiled food once a week and water one sip a day. You will always stay naked. No clothes for you. No electricity for you. You will be locked in 1 room with just a floor forever. You will never be treated like a human being again from this day on."

After being married for three years, I was very satisfied with my life. My husband was handsome, caring, gentle, emotionally stable, and never lost his temper with me. That was until the day when I saw my kind husband cornering his true love. He asked angrily, "You were the one who decided to marry someone else, what right have you got to ask me to do anything?" Only then did I realize that he could be emotionally unstable when he was truly in love with someone. I knew my place, so I decided to divorce my husband and disappear from his life. A lot of people said that Ryan had gone mad and that he was turning the whole Jelaston upside down just to find me. I felt that it was impossible for someone so emotionally stable as Ryan to go crazy. Not to mention the fact that I was just an ex-wife that he didn't really care about. Sometime later, he saw me standing next to another man. He grabbed my wrists and pleaded with red eyes, "I'm sorry, Charlotte. Please come back to me." Only then did I realize that what I heard other people talking about wasn't just a rumor. Ryan really had gone mad.
