Non Zero Sum Chapter 50

NAGING mahirap ang buhay para kay Sunshine simula nang yumao ang ama at magkasakit naman ang ina. Mabuti na lamang at nagawa niyang pag-aralin ang sarili hanggang sa matapos niya ang kolehiyo. Naka-graduate man, hindi na siya nag-inarte sa kung ano ang trabahong pwede niyang pasukan. As long as her job can provide her mother's maintenance, go lang. Besides, nag-e-enjoy naman siya kahit pa minsan ang gabi ginagawa niyang araw. Papasok siya bilang waitress mula tanghali hanggang gabi at fire dancer naman hanggang hatinggabi. Nakakapagod, pero kailangan– para sa kaniyang Mamang. Maayos naman sana ang lahat, not until this summer. Not until she met Norman Luther. Ang arogante sa lahat ng aroganteng nakasalamuha niyang bakasyunista ng Palacio Grande Resort, na pinsan ng kaniyang Boss Lowelle at isa sa may pinakamalaking share sa resort na iyon. Hindi maintindihan ni Sunshine kung ano ang kasalanang nagawa niya sa lalaki at trip na trip siya ng lalaki. Na sa sobrang pan-ti-trip nito, ipinatanggal pa talaga siya sa trabahong matagal niyang iningatan dahil lang hindi niya tinanggap ang alok nito. Alok na nagpababa sa kaniyang dignidad at pagkatao. Mahuhulog kaya si Sunshine sa bitag ng binatang gumulo sa nananahimik niyang buhay, gayong ginagamit na ni Norman ang 'impluwensiya' makuha lang ang dalaga?

The Forgotten. Massacre and regicide under the orders of an unspeakably evil priesthood decimate the ranks of the honourable Galadon Knights, and destroy the Royal family who the Knights are sworn to protect. Now outlawed and despised, the Knights are forced, for four generations, 120 years, to hide in secret as they regain their strength for their final confrontation with the religious order. But their biggest secret is that they also hide the last surviving member of the Royal family.

With her 21st birthday quickly approaching, the amethyst lost and the armies are moving into position for a final confrontation, this is their last chance, and time is running out.

Lagi pula kau sendiri yang yakin kalau kita tidak melakukan apa-apa malam itu.” “Aku hanya tidur denganmu seumur hidupku, bajingan! Tak ada yang lain.” *** Lima tahun setelah memutuskan sang kekasih, Bryan Sanders, Shienna Miller tak menyangka bahwa takdir justru bekerja dengan sangat ajaib.

Vincenzo doesn't forgive. He doesn't forget. And he never, ever loses. When you spill Mancini blood, payment comes due—with interest. Stacy Salvatore should have been an easy target. The daughter of the man who slaughtered his mother and tried to burn his family empire to ash. His perfect revenge, gift-wrapped and delivered to his doorstep. He had it all planned out: take everything from her, break her spirit, and kill her. What he didn't plan for was her backbone of steel and eyes that burn with the same ruthless determination as his own. She's no cowering captive. She's a storm wrapped in human skin, fighting him with every breath, challenging the code he's lived by since childhood. With each clash between them, the lines blur. Enemy. Obsession. Addiction. Her defiance becomes the only thing that makes him feel alive, and the vengeance he's chased for years might just start tasting like ash in his mouth. But blood debt must be paid. In full.

Mexico gave her sun, tequila, and a man who kissed like a secret. L.A. gave her his twin-and a migraine. Jannah Cole wasn't supposed to fall for anyone on vacation. But then Ethan Hunt happened-dark eyes, cryptic smirks, and the kind of kiss that makes your brain short-circuit. He vanished before sunrise, and she told herself it was a one-time thing. Until she walked back into work and saw him again. Same jawline. Same voice. Same tattoo. Totally different name. Now he's Aaron Steele, her very polished CEO, and apparently? He's never seen her before in his life. Then there's Clinton Steele-his charming twin and self-declared Mexico mystery man. Sweet, attentive, and just confusing enough to make her question everything. After all, how many brooding, emotionally unavailable doppelgängers can one girl trip over in a single summer? And the real question: What if she didn't mistake one brother for the other? What if she didn't mistake anything at all? Two brothers. One ghost of a kiss. And a truth wrapped in too many lies to count.

Sa edad na dalawampu’t dalawa, mag-isa na lang sa mundo si Alina Torres. Maaga siyang naulila sa ama, at iniwan naman siya ng sariling ina para sumama sa ibang pamilya. Wala na siyang ibang mapupuntahan kundi ang taong kinatatakutan niya noon pa man—ang kanyang ninong, si Sebastian Villalobos, isang makapangyarihan at mayamang negosyante na kilala sa pagiging malamig, istrikto, at isang taong walang inuurungan. Ngunit sa ilalim ng malamig nitong anyo ay ang lalaking handang akuin ang responsibilidad na alagaan at ipagtanggol ang inaanak. Hindi niya alam kung paano tatanggapin si Alina sa buhay niya, lalo na’t habang lumilipas ang mga araw, hindi na inosente ang kanyang nararamdaman para rito. Samantala, si Alina naman ay nahahati sa pagitan ng takot at pagtitiwala. Takot, dahil alam niyang mahigpit at mapanganib ang mundo ng kanyang ninong. Pagtitiwala, dahil siya lang ang nag-abot ng kamay sa oras na lahat ay tumalikod sa kanya. Sa pagitan ng mga lihim, pangamba, at damdaming pilit nilang itinatanggi.
