Pearls Novel

"I don't care if you're a spoiled heir or a pawn in his twisted game—tonight, I will decide my fate!" AMIRIAM roars as her world collides with danger, desire, and scandal. In a sprawling mansion where wealth hides dark secrets, the fierce and determined AMIRIAM, a devoted nanny to sweet little JAMES, finds herself entangled in a torrid affair with the enigmatic LUKE ODEN. Torn between loyalty and lust, LUKE battles the oppressive expectations of his domineering father, JACKSON ODEN, whose ironclad control over his inheritance fuels a legacy of broken hearts. In searing, shock-filled exchanges—like LUKE's biting retort, "You want to see me stripped bare, not just physically but for who I truly am?"—the story exposes a raw vulnerability beneath the veneer of high-society indulgence. Family ties further complicate the passion: the ever-watchful AMA, the supportive yet embattled CHRISTIANA and RITA, and even FRANK and OSSIAN PETE, whose past romances and betrayals echo through every heated encounter. Meanwhile, the seductive STACY enters the fray, her allure both a promise and a threat, challenging every boundary in this forbidden game of love and money. Hot, sweet, and unapologetically scandalous, Reckless Desires: The Oden Legacy is a searing tale of passion, power, and betrayal—a world where every whispered secret and incendiary dialogue has the potential to shatter lives and redefine destiny.

Tahimik ang mansyon. Tahimik… maliban sa mahinang iyak ni Princess sa bisig ko—isang buwang gulang, walang alam, walang kasalanan. Pero siya ang unang nasaktan sa lahat ng ‘to. Siya ang naiipit sa pagitan ng dalawang taong hindi na alam kung paano magmahal nang sabay. Nakaluhod ako sa harap ni Elise. Mahigpit ang hawak ko sa laylayan ng bestida niya, parang batang takot na maiwan sa dilim. Nanginginig ang labi ko, pinipigilan ang mga luhang ayaw na sanang lumabas—pero hindi ko na kayang kontrolin. “Please, Elise…” garalgal kong pakiusap. “’Wag mo kaming iwan. Hindi ko alam kung paano palalakihin si Princess nang wala ka. Hindi ko alam kung paano mamuhay kung wala kayo…” Pero wala. Wala siyang emosyon. Wala siyang luha. Matigas ang titig niya, parang ako pa ang mali. Bitbit niya ang maleta niya—hindi lang punô ng damit, kundi punô ng lahat ng alaala namin. Lahat ng pangarap. Lahat ng ‘akala ko tayo.’ “Hindi ko ‘to pinlano, Levi,” mahina niyang sagot. “Pero kailangan kong piliin ang sarili ko. Pagod na akong umasa. Pagod na akong maging pangalawa sa trabaho mo, sa mundo mo. Hindi ko kayang maging ina habang ako mismo’y hindi buo.” Gumuho ako. Literal. Napayuko ako habang yakap ko si Princess, habang nararamdaman ko ang init ng iyak niya sa dibdib ko. Halik ako nang halik sa noo niya, para bang kaya kong takpan ng pagmamahal ang kawalan ng ina niya. “Anak mo ‘to, Elise. Anak natin…” pabulong kong daing. “Kung hindi mo na ako kayang mahalin… kahit siya na lang. Kahit siya. ‘Wag mong iwan ang anak mo…” Pero wala. Ni hindi siya lumapit. Ni hindi siya tumingin. Tumalikod siya, dala ang katahimikang mas malakas pa sa kahit anong sigaw ng pagtanggi. "Ayoko na" mahina niyang sabi at hinila ang maleta palabas ng mansion.
