Project Gutenberg Count Of Monte Cristo

Kylie Watson was sure she is doomed when she learned that her company would be bought and merged and some employees would be laid off. She was even more sure that she was going to be laid off after all she heard that the other project designer in the other company was more qualified than her. She was doomed. She needed to let go of her anxiety and her best friend, Julianna knows how to do that. The bar and getting drunk was the best option. But what happens after she has a one-night stand and he turns out to be her new boss? Will she be able to draw that line between love and professionalism? Will she be able to deal with the pressures of dating her boss?

Carla, restauratrice perfectionniste et célibataire endurcie, organise un dîner test crucial pour obtenir une étoile au guide gastronomique. Le seul critique disponible à la dernière minute est Mathis, célèbre pour ses papiers mordants… et son excentricité légendaire. Le dîner vire au fiasco burlesque : le sommelier se prend pour un danseur de tango, le soufflé s’effondre dramatiquement et Mathis semble plus intéressé par la coupe de cheveux du commis que par le homard. Furieuse et désespérée, Carla décide de le prendre à part dans l’office pour le… convaincre autrement. S’ensuit une joute verbale électrique, un baiser qui les surprend autant qu’un soufflé qui monte, et des ébats aussi passionnés qu’improbables parmi les sacs de farine et les casseroles, sous l’œil scandalisé d’un portrait de grand-mère. Le lendemain, la critique paraît : « Un restaurant où l’on mange avec les doigts… et le reste. Une expérience sensorielle inoubliable. » Et en PS : « La chef est libre samedi soir ? »

Ako si Daniel Montenegro isang kilalang Nerd na cute sa school na pinapasukan ko ngayon. Palagi ako ang target ng mga bully na sikat sa school na pinapangunahan ni Kathryn Monte Falco. Isa siyang Queen bee daw kuno at walang pwede na sumalungat sa mga gusto nito dahil para sa kanya siya ang Reyna ng mga bubuyog este ng Campus kaya kung gusto mo na maging matiwasay ang iyong buhay habang nag aaral ka pa lang ay huwag na huwag mong naisin pa na kalabanin ito. Samantala, ang aking mga papansin na magulang ay bigla na lang nalagyan ng tubig sa utak kaya naisipan nilang ipagkasundo ako na ipakasal sa she devil na ito na wala ng ginawang mabuti sa buhay ko. Makakaya ko bang makisama sa katulad nito o hihilingin ko na lang sa aking mga magulang na tanggalan na lang nila ako ng mana at ipamigay na lang sa charity ang mamanahin ko na multi billion worth of companies mula sa kanila. Kaysa ang makasama ang isang katulad nito.

Knight Monte Forteros, isang CEO sa tanyag na F Newspapers and Magazines Company at galing sa isang mayamang pamilya ay ikakasal na sana sa kaniyang fiance na si Cayleigh Sasa Montemayor na galing rin sa pamilya ng mga negosyante at ang nagmamay-ari ng Hotel de Montemayor, ngunit naudlot ito dahil sa isang aksidente. Aki Rodrigo Salamangca, isang fashion designer at nagmamay-ari ng sikat na Magic Fashion Boutique ay ang nakabangga sa fiance ni Knight na si Cayleigh na naging dahilan upang maputulan ito ng dalawang paa. Dahil sa galit ay ikinulong ni Knight si Aki at itinago sa publiko ang mga pangyayari gamit ang kaniyang mataas na posisyon sa lipunan. Nang makitang wala ng ibang pag-asa ay nakipagsundo si Aki na maging alalay ni Cayleigh habang buhay kapalit ng kaniyang kalayaan. Naging paa at mata ni Cayleigh si Aki na naging dahilan din naman ng madalas na ugnayan nilang dalawa ni Knight. But if the heart of the oppressed falls into false love, is the feeling of the heart heavier than the depth of gratitude? Is it wrong to fall in love with a conqueror? Maybe so, but it's worse to fall in love secretly.

She signed the divorce papers. He never signed away his obsession. Veronica Stanford was the perfect wife—devoted, patient, and hopelessly in love. But when her billionaire husband, Jason Harper, trades her in for her treacherous best friend, Rhea, Veronica’s world shatters. Broken and betrayed, she drowns her sorrows in a bar, only to be saved by a dangerously alluring stranger with emerald-green eyes and a lethal reputation: Monte "Four" Zagcanni, the ruthless heir to a mafia empire. And neither plays nice. Four is everything Jason isn’t—dark, dangerous, and devastatingly protective. When Veronica discovers she’s pregnant with Jason’s child, she strikes a deal with Four: a fake marriage to shield her from scandal. But what starts as a cold arrangement ignites into a passion neither can resist. Jason, realizing his mistake too late, wants Veronica back—along with the son he never knew existed. But Four isn’t a man who surrenders what’s his. And Veronica? She’s done being the meek wife. Betrayal runs deep. Revenge burns hotter. As secrets unravel—her father’s bloody past, Rhea’s twisted obsession, and Jason’s deadly lies—Veronica must decide: trust the man who destroyed her once, or surrender to the devil who might destroy her forever. One wants her back. The other wants her forever.
