Pastel Purple Aesthetic

Pitong taon ang inaksaya sa kanyang buhay ni Gailyn Espinoza upang piliin lang na manatili sa tabi ng kanyang asawang si Leon Lombardi. Hindi dahil sa may anak sila kung hindi dahil naniniwala siyang hindi magtatagal ay makikita rin ng asawa ang halaga niya. Subalit taliwas at hindi iyon ang nangyari dahil biglang nahulog ang lalaki sa ibang babae na harap-harapang pinakita niya kay Gailyn.  Sa mismong araw ng kaarawan niya ay piniling umuwi ng Isla ni Gailyn upang makasama ang kanyang mag-ama na doon nakatira, ngunit sa halip na salubungin ng mainit na pagbati at yakap, isang malutong na sampal ng katotohanan ang natuklasan. Ito ang naging wake up call kay Gailyn para magising. Sawang-sawa na siya sa paulit-ulit na pagtitiis kaya sa araw na iyon ay naging buo ang desisyon ni Gailyn na palayain na ang kanyang asawa. She drafted divorce papers, signed away custody of their son, and walked away without a backward glance. Returning to her career, Gailyn chose to silently build a fortune for herself. Sa puntong ito ay sarili naman niya ang uunahing piliin bukod sa mga nagpapasakit sa kanya. Kung kailan handa na ang puso, katawan at kaluluwa ni Gailyn na makipaghiwalay saka naman noon bumaliktad ang ikot ng mundo. Tila nagising siya sa matagal na niyang pangarap dahil ang mag-ama niyang ayaw sa kanya noon ngayon ay humahabol na. “Divorce is not an option, Mrs. Lombardi. Kailanman ay hindi ako papayag sa gusto mong mangyari. Hindi kita hihiwalayan. Walang sinuman ang makakapalit sa papel mo bilang ina sa buhay ng ating anak.”

Matapos ng tatlong taong pagiging martir at pagkakakulong sa sagradong kasal ni Alyson Samonte kay Geoffrey Carreon ay tuluyan na itong sumuko sa asawa. Sa kabila ng pagtulong ni Don Gonzalo Carreon na pigilan 'yun ay nangyari pa rin. Muntik na sanang magtagumpay ang Don, kaya lang isang pangyayari ang naganap. Nalagay sa alanganin ang buhay ni Alyson at ng mga batang nasa sinapupunan. Iyon ang naging daan upang tuluyang talikdan ni Alyson si Geoff na akala niya ay pipiliin na siya. Lumabas siya ng bansa. Pilit na bumangon, nangarap at nagsikap sa tulong ni Oliver Gadaza, sa pag-aakalang kaya niyang kalimutan ang dating asawa sa paglipas ng maraming taon. Sa pagbabalik niya ng Pilipinas bilang isa ng matagumpay na CEO ng sarili niyang kumpanya, muli kayang magsanga ang landas nila ni Geoff, ngayong nasa iisang industriya na sila? Ano ang mangyayari sa muli nilang pagkikita lalo pa kapag nalaman ni Geoff na nagkaroon pala sila ng triplets na mga anak ng dati niyang asawa na naging lingid sa kaalaman niya ng apat na taon? "Bakit ganyan ang hitsura mo? Ang payat mo. Pinapabayaan mo ba ang—" "Ano namang pakialam mo sa kung anong hitsura mayroon ako?" Napasuklay na ng buhok si Geoff upang supilin ang awang nadarama. Medyo guilty siya na baka dahil iyon sa annulment nila. "Kailangan kong makialam sa'yo Alyson dahil hindi ka pwedeng mamatay hangga't hindi pa tayo annul. Narinig mo? Ayokong gagamitin mo hanggang kamatayan ang apelyido ko!" "Huwag kang mag-alala, hindi pa ako mamamatay. Ayoko rin namang gamitin ang apelyido mo at ilagay sa magiging lapida ko."

Llevábamos seis años de casados, pero en los últimos tres meses, mi esposo ni siquiera me había tocado. Decía que el trabajo lo tenía agotado, y yo, enamorada desde hace años, le creí sin dudar. Hasta que en el día de mi cumpleaños, escuché a sus amigos hablar en alemán a sus espaldas. —¿Ya terminaste con la otra? Antes ibas todos los días… no sé cómo aguantabas. —¿Y tu esposa? ¿No te dice nada? Mi esposo soltó el humo de su cigarro con indiferencia: —Hace meses que ni la toco. Claudia es buena en la cama y aún no me aburre… Lástima que salió embarazada. A mi esposa no le gustan los niños, así que le di dinero a Claudia para que se fuera al extranjero y lo tuviera allá. Apreté los puños con fuerza. Las lágrimas comenzaron a caer sin permiso. Él se acercó preocupado y preguntó qué me pasaba. Yo negué con la cabeza, sonriendo. —Este pastel que hiciste con tus propias manos… me emocionó mucho. Está delicioso. El pastel sabía dulce. Pero yo, que sí entendía alemán, solo sentía amargura en el alma.

On the flight to Arlencia, a post popped up: [What's it like to have sex in a wedding dress?] The pic showed a girl yanking some guy's purple tie while he hiked up her gown. His face was blurred, but hers? Straight-up blissed out. Everyone in the comments was swooning over how in love they looked. I didn't swoon. I froze. Because that purple tie? I gave it to Zeke Santoro, my fiancé, a few days ago. And that wedding dress? The exact custom one he had made for me. There was only one. I kept zooming in, heart racing, until I spotted a family photo in the background. My hands were shaking when I called him. "I wanna see the dress," I said. He hesitated. "It's at the studio getting final touches. Not with me right now. I'll show it to you later." I just smiled and hung up. That was all I needed. Zeke cheated—and the girl? His stepsister, Jella. Total circus. I reopened the post and shot her a DM: [Your wedding dress is stunning. I have the same one.]

TRIGGER WARNING 🔞 This novel contains mature themes intended for ADULT READERS ONLY. Future chapters will include explicit sexual content, graphic erotic scenes, and explicit dialogue that may not be suitable for all audiences. Lights off. Masks on. Rules carved in stone. In a world where love is nothing two broken souls make a pact of pleasure only. No love allowed. Purple Hearts has learned the hard way that love destroys everything it touches. Echo Reid knows love is a lie. Scarred by a past he can’t outrun, For him, intimacy is just a game—a way to numb the pain that never truly fades. “Spread your legs, my sweet Purple,” he groans against her skin, his voice dark “Please…” she begs, her nails digging into his back as pride dissolving “Please what?” he teases, dark and dangerous. “I want you inside me,” she rasps, sweat beading on her forehead as she surrenders to the stranger who makes her feel more alive. His lips trace paths of fire across her body, sending jolts of unfamiliar ecstasy through her veins. But when her hands fly to his face, almost tearing away the mask that hides him from her, he pulls back—cold, sharp, unforgiving. “Sweet Purple,” he says, a smile playing at his lips, “remember the rules.” Before she can apologize, he’s gone—vanishing into the shadows as if he was never there at all, leaving her alone in the silence. “Until we meet again.” But what happens when the masks start to slip? When the lines between pleasure and pain blur? When two people who swore they’d never love again find themselves craving more than just a moment in the dark? Is love truly a tragedy… or could it be the only thing that can save them both?

"I'll cut to the chase. I'm the villainess in this story." Everyone in this wealthy, elite family adored my poor, fragile adopted sister. My older brother Damien would snap, "Don't scare Bella. Her weak heart can't take it." My other brother, Magnus, would add, "Lend Bella your nightgown, all right? It's wasted on you." Even my fiancé said, "This is nothing more than a marriage of convenience. My true love has always been Bella." In my last life, I humbled myself endlessly to please them. What did I receive in return? They sent me to a mental asylum and I died in agony. Then I came back to life on the day of my engagement party. A voice echoed in my mind and made its announcement. [The Madness Reward System has chosen you, Marceline Blanc. Any unhinged behavior will earn rewards worth hundreds of millions of dollars.] I grinned and sent the pompous, ten-tier cake crashing to the floor. "I'm done with this shitty family. Goodbye, you miserable bastards."

En nuestro tercer aniversario, descubrí con horror que mi pareja, Ethan Rivers, había estado pasando las noches con su amor de la infancia, y que incluso el certificado de unión que me había dado era falso. Cuando lo encaré, Ethan me acusó con una frialdad brutal de ser una malagradecida. —Hice la ceremonia de unión con Bella para ayudarla con la presión de su familia. ¿Por qué tienes que ser tan egoísta? No es que no te quiera. Solo es un papel, ¿por qué haces tanto escándalo? Tenía planeado hacer la ceremonia de verdad contigo este año, pero nunca me imaginé que fueras tan ambiciosa. Me decepcionas mucho, Aria. Corté toda comunicación con él y, sin perder tiempo, se llevó a Bella de luna de miel. *** Cinco años después, nos volvimos a encontrar en una reunión exclusiva de manadas. Su manada prosperaba y, a su lado, estaba Bella Rose, cubierta de joyas y con una sonrisa impecable. Al verme agachada en el suelo, buscando entre los restos de pastel en la basura, chasqueó la lengua con impaciencia. —Mira nada más en lo que te convertiste por dejarme. Antes despreciabas el certificado falso, ¡y ahora ni regalada te querría nadie! Por los viejos tiempos, si te arrodillas y le pides perdón a Bella, a lo mejor te dejo volver como nuestra sirvienta. No estaba para lidiar con él. Mi hijo, como parte de una travesura, había escondido mi anillo de unión de 80 millones de dólares en un trozo de pastel, y necesitaba encontrarlo rápido. De lo contrario, cuando llegara su papá, el pequeño volvería a meterse en problemas.
