Outer Banks Gif

At the ceremony where my father, Robert Clarke, is promoted to the position as the pack elder, my mate, Alpha Ethan Thornfield, raises the wine glass in his hand while smiling at him. "Elder Robert, there's this question which has been bothering me for the longest time. Does shamelessness run in the Clarke family's genetics? Otherwise, how are you able to raise a she-wolf as stubborn and defiant as Isabella who keeps pestering me the whole time?" Dad's wine glass is suspended in mid-air. All the wolves turn to look at us. I place the napkin on the table before meeting Ethan's gaze calmly. "Stop barking like a mad dog, Ethan. I agree to sever our mate bond. That way, you and that mistress of yours can finally get together." Ethan replies softly, "It's wonderful to see you making that decision with a sound mind." On the night the ceremony ends, a mate bond severance agreement, which is prepared in advance, is passed to me. Silently, I drop my signature on the last page of the document. Ethan and that Omega, Chloe Stonehart, have started their affair a year ago. He started forcing me to sever our mate bond six months ago. Since he craves freedom that much, I shall grant it to him. I just hope that he won't regret his decision at all when he loses everything he treasures.

"You'll be my wife on paper only. You'll have everything—except my heart. You'll never be Marina." For five years, Lily lived as David's secret wife—his poised secretary by day, his invisible stand-in by night. Every cold touch reminded her she was just a replacement. Every whispered “Marina” cut deeper than the last. Then his ex returned. And without hesitation, David cast Lily aside like she meant nothing. So she did what she should have done years ago. She signed the divorce papers. She walked away. But now, David couldn't escape her absence. Her silence burned him in ways Marina never could. And suddenly, the man who swore he'd never love her was determined to get her back. By any means necessary. Even if it meant breaking her all over again. She paid the price for loving him once. Now, he'd pay for losing her forever.

The day before my fifth wedding anniversary to my husband, the jewelry store manager called me. He reported that the expensive jewelry I had commissioned for my husband had been accidentally damaged by the staff. However, the shop was willing to pay a penalty for breach of contract. He hung up before I could lose my temper. I immediately received a message from my husband and $6 million in compensation. [So you're the shameless homewrecker. How dare you keep my husband's contact information! I'm warning you: I've given you the money, now get lost! Otherwise, I'll have to teach you a lesson!] The woman smugly sent me an intimate photo to follow up on her threats. Looking at the familiar side profile, I immediately called my biological parents, who were high-ranking businesspeople. "Dad, Mom, put the Shelby family's investment on hold for now. I'm getting a big gift ready for them!"

Due to my heightened sensitivity, even the slightest touch causes an uncontrollable reaction. My husband, concerned, sends me to the hospital for treatment. As I lie on the operating table, the attending doctor unexpectedly triggers a wave of intense response from me—right in front of my husband.

Three days after giving birth, my husband leaves me alone at home to care for the baby, saying that he needs to leave on an urgent business trip. Three days later, I've just arrived at the hospital when I see a family photo his childhood sweetheart has shared on her social media. It's captioned, "This was taken during a trip. We're a happy family of three." I'm surprised to see my husband grinning in the photo and comment on it with a question mark. He immediately calls me to reprimand me. "Do you know how hard it is for her as a single mother? She doesn't have a man to care for her. All I did was take a photo with her. Do you have to be so petty?" That evening, his childhood sweetheart shares a photo of some monetary gifts. "He insisted on giving me this after taking the family photo." I know my husband gave that to her to pacify her. This time, however, I'm ready to leave him.

Limang taon na ang lumipas mula nang iwan ni Naomi Gonzales ang isla ng Euphoria, kasama ang isang gabing hindi niya kailanman nakalimutan. Isang gabing puno ng alak, init, at pagkakamaling hindi na niya mababawi. Ang natira lang sa alaala niya ay: isang skull pendant, isang mabangong amoy ng sandalwood, at ang bunga ng gabing iyon ay isang regalong pinangalanan niyang Sean. Pinili ni Naomi ang lumayo, magtrabaho at mamuhay ng tahimik para sa anak niya. Ngunit pagdating ng Pasko, napilitan siyang umuwi sa kanila at harapin ang desisyong matagal nang ipinipilit ng kanyang mga magulang. Para makaiwas, at alam niyang mali, nanghiram siya ng pag-ibig. Isang lalaking papayag magpanggap bilang perpektong boyfriend. Dahil hindi sumipot ang taong nirentahan niya, hindi niya inasahang makilala si Tobias Miranda—isang lalaking naghahanap din ng girlfriend para sa sarili niyang dahilan. Sa mundong binuo sa lihim, kasinungalingan, at pansamantalang kasunduan, unti-unting nalalagay sa alanganin ang puso ni Naomi. Dahil sa pagpasok ni Tobias sa buhay nila, unti-unti ring bumabalik ang isang katotohanang matagal niyang iniiwasan. Ang tunay na ama ng anak niyang si Sean. Si Thaddeus Miranda ang kambal ni Tobias. Dahil sa Euphoria, walang pag-ibig na simpleng hiniram lang. At may mga taong kahit limang taon na ang lumipas… hindi pa rin handang pakawalan ka.

Nagkaroon ng malaking pagkakautang si Laica kay Hendrick Montañez nang ang binata ang gumawa ng paraan upang maisalba ang buhay ng kanyang nakababatang kapatid. Isang bagay iyon na wala siyang kaalam-alam. Ang tanging malinaw kay Laica ay ang pagkamuhing nadarama ni Hendrick para sa kanya dahil sa pag-aakalang mas pinili niya ang pera kaysa sa relasyon nilang dalawa. Lumipas ang maraming taon. Nang muling magkrus ang kanilang mga landas ay naniningil na ang binata sa malaking halagang nagastos nito para sa kapatid niya. But how can she ever pay him if what he wants is for her to... marry him? Would she agree knowing that what he's offering is nothing but a contract marriage? That she needs to be his wife just for business purposes? Or she would take his offer, not only to pay her debt, but because deep inside, she's hoping that he loves her still? "Magiging asawa lang kita sa papel, Laica. We'll stay married 'til I get the company. Once it's done, we'll have an annulment. Don't worry 'cause it would be easy since I don't have any plan to consume our marriage..."
