Onyx Ladies Rings

“You think you can tame an old daddy like me?” Mr. Domenico Lombardi’s stone-like voice makes me nervous, but I’m not backing down; I know what I want. “Yes,” I added a nod to confirm it but cursed internally at my luck. I’ve never had a boyfriend, and here I am trying to tame a man old enough to be my father. It is said that the apple does not fall far from the tree. I guess I am truly Kate’s daughter. I had an internal laugh at my stupidity. He scoffed, and I responded by nodding once more while watching the darkening of the silvery gray pupils in his eyes. How come? I brush it off as his cold eyes wash over me. Domenico Lombardi’s presence makes me squirm. When I’m around him, I get the impression that I’m being judged and ignored at every turn. “How old are you?” “18” “How old is your father?” “38,” I replied truthfully. “Well, I’m 37 years old.” He stared at me; his eyes darkened again, and I became terrified. I fiddle with my nails, clipping them together as I lean back on my heels to help relieve some of the anxiety he’s causing me. “You see, I’m like a father to you, or maybe a grandfather or a great-great-grandfather. How many boyfriends have you had in your life?” “None.” He chuckled as I responded. “You see, I’ve lost count of how many ladies I’ve fucked, thousands or millions, over the centuries. You are just a little girl to me with nothing to offer; now, get lost!” “My panties made you hard!” “You think so?” “Yes,” I responded confidently. “Well, I wasn’t hard; I just have a donkey-like cock.”

"If I were you..." He began, his eyes suddenly having slits of fury burning within them. "I'd mind my thoughts and limit what I say." His voice dropped gravely low. My brows knitted in a frown. "Excuse me?" I asked, amused. "Are you threatening me??" I prodded further. Nicholas chortled, his voice reverberating through the walls of the room. "Call it whatever you want-I honestly don't give two fucks, but let me make it known to you, young lady..." He started and paused, and in a flick, his face became contorted with rage. "You're my possession now... You're at my mercy and I can fucking do anything I want to do to you right now, in case you don't realize that yet." He continued and I stared on, goosebumps breaking out on my forearm. "Who can save you from my clutches? Exactly what you're guessing... nobody, not even your boss, Megan!" ~>>>~ Nicholas Hills is one of the new names on the movie production scene. He is known as a Billionaire Playboy who had inherited his fortune from his Grandfather. Nicholas is naturally flirty, his good looks making him an automatic ladies' magnet, so he hides his vulnerability and prefers to give off the impression of being a careless playboy. Corvette Vincente, a 24-year-old Private Investigator is the best at what she does. Working for the ruthless gossip magazine "Splash a Star" which makes its profit from bringing out the skeleton in the closet of celebrity stars,Corvette is the best they have and her latest assignment is the Playboy Billionaire movie producer, Nicholas Hills. Getting him caught up in a scandal should be as easy as swatting a fly, but what happens when his charms and sensuality turn her into his scandal instead...? And she loves it! Every single bit!!

Roan King. The uncrowned king of Barnett University. He's like a freaking celebrity around here. It's totally ridiculous. People, by which I mean grown women, actually stalk him on the internet. And around campus. Apparently he's god's gift to both football and the ladies (I'm using that term loosely). All he has to do is smile and girls just fall right onto their backs before spreading their legs nice and wide. I've heard that he's already plowed his way through half the female population here at Barnett. I'm sure he'll work his way through the second half before he gets drafted to the NFL later this year. Yeah... I don't plan to be one of them. The guy is nothing more than a conceited player. You know the type—a steroid infused meathead jock coasting through college on his football prowess. Ugh. I have three words for you—avoid, avoid, avoid. Need I say more? I don't think so. I've had the sad misfortune of running into him on campus. Literally. As in—I literally slammed into him before spilling my iced coffee drink all over that wide rippling chest of his (did I just say that?). What I learned from the experience is that Roan King is one hell of a cocky son of a— Ok Unfortunately for me, Operation Avoid-Roan-King isn't going so well. Everywhere I go, there he is. If he wasn't so ridiculously hot, he would be a hell of a lot easier to forget. With his dark hair, shocking turquoise colored eyes and (damn him) buff body, he's easily the most gorgeous guy I've ever laid eyes on. Crap... see what I mean? Why do I suddenly have the bad feeling that Roan King is going to lead to my utter ruin and downfall?

Hindi pinairal ni Carmina Ocampo ang kasabihang ‘ladies first’ sa kadahilanan na gusto niya munang marinig kung ano ang inihandang surpresa ng kaniyang asawa para sa kaniya. Subalit, biglang naghain ng divorce si Enrico na sobrang ikinagulat ni Carmina. Ikinagulat ito ni Carmina sapagkat, gano’n ba kabilis? Gano’n lang siya kabilis bitawan ni Enrico? Tumulo ang luha ni Carmina habang hawak sa kaniyang kamay ang isang pregnancy test sheet na nasasabik niya sanang ibabahagi kay Enrico para sa kanilang anibersaryo.

Ngunit hindi inaasahan ni Carmina ang naging sagot sa kaniya ni Enrico---bumalik na ang totoong minamahal ni Enrico. Makalipas ang ilang buwan, habang tinatahak ni Carmina ang kalsada upang tumawid, naramdaman niya ang kakaibang sakit ng tiyan niya kaya bigla siyang napahinto sa paglalakad, ‘manganganak na ata ako’, wika niya sa kaniyang sarili. Eksaktong hinto ni Carmina ay siya namang naramdaman niya ang sakit mula sa pagkabunggo ng isang sasakyan sa kaniya. Eksaktong kasal ni Enrico at siya ay nasa simabahan nang mabalitaan ang nangyari kay Carmina at agad itong lumisan. Humahangos, nakarating siya sa ospital kung saan dinala si Carmina at hindi siya makapaniwala sa kaniyang nakita---DUGO! Nababalot ng dugo si Carmina at kitang-kita niya itong naghahabol ng hininga at paulit-ulit na sinasambit, ‘Pakiusap, pakiusap, iligtas n'yo ang anak ko.

Ich bin Isa Rossi, die Tochter des ersten Dons von Sizilien. Schon von klein auf war ich rebellisch. Mein Vater fürchtete, ich könnte aus einer Laune heraus irgendeinen zwielichtigen Kerl heiraten, also erließ er kurzerhand einen Befehl: Ich sollte mich mit Luca Marino verloben, dem Erben der neu aufstrebenden Familie Marino. Auch wenn es sich um eine politische Ehe handelte, wollte ich mir zumindest selbst den Ring aussuchen, den ich tragen würde. So nahm ich an einer Auktion der Mafiafamilien teil. Als der letzte, kostbarste Edelsteinring präsentiert wurde, hob ich mein Bieterschild. Doch noch bevor der Auktionshammer fiel, erklang hinter mir eine arrogante Frauenstimme: „Du, so ein Provinzmädchen, wagst es, gegen mich zu bieten? Zwei Millionen! Sei klug und verzieh dich!“ Für ein paar Sekunden herrschte völlige Stille im Saal, nur das leise Klicken der Kameraverschlüsse war zu hören. Ich drehte mich um und sah eine Frau in einem goldenen Haute-Couture-Kleid. Ein nachlässiges Lächeln lag auf ihren Lippen, als gehörte ihr der ganze Saal. Noch bevor ich etwas sagen konnte, ließ der Auktionator hastig den Hammer fallen. „Zugeschlagen! Herzlichen Glückwunsch an Frau Sofia zum Erwerb des Spitzenstücks, des Rings ‚Ewiger Stern‘!“ Meine Stirn zog sich leicht zusammen, Ärger flammte in mir auf. „Der Hammer fällt, bevor die Auktion beendet ist? In diesem Auktionssaal gelten wohl keine Regeln.“ Sofia drehte sich zu mir um. Ihr Blick war scharf wie eine Klinge, während sie mich Zentimeter für Zentimeter von den Schuhen bis zum Kopf musterte. „Regeln?“ Sie lachte kalt. „Meine Liebe, ich bin Sofia, die verwöhnte Godsister von Luca, dem Erben der Familie Marino. Hier bestimme ich die Regeln!“ Ich konnte mir ein Lachen nicht verkneifen. Was für ein Zufall. Luca war der Name meines Verlobten. Ich zog sofort mein Handy hervor und wählte seine Nummer. „Luca, deine ‚Godsister‘ hat mir gerade den Verlobungsring weggeschnappt, den ich haben wollte. Was machst du dagegen?“
