Quotes On Wasted Time

"Ouch, ang sakit ng ulo ko," daing ko habang hawak ito. Para itong binibiyak sa sobrang sakit. Dahan-dahan akong nagmulat ng mata at umupo. "Teka, nasaan ako?" Ang huli kong natatandaan ay nasa bar ako at nagpapakalasing upang makalimot. Niloko kasi ako ng long time boyfriend ko pagkatapos ng tatlong taon naming relasyon. At para panandalian makalimutan ang sakit ay nagpasya akong magpunta sa bar para aliwin ang sarili ko. Napasinghap ako sa gulat ng mapagtanto ko na wala akong saplot. "Bakit nakahubad ako?!" Bulalas ko habang kipkip ang katawan ko ng kumot. Wala akong suot na bra, kahit panty ay wala, ang nakakabahala ay masakit pa ang gitna ko... palatandaan na may nangyari na hindi dapat. Nanigas ako ng maramdaman na may gumalaw sa tabi ko. "Oh no..." Ayokong lumingon dahil kinakabahan ako. Pero kailangan kong kumirmahin ang hinala ko, kaya dahan-dahan akong lumingon. Umawang ang labi ko sa gulat ng makita ang huling tao na naisip kong makikita ko. S-si Sir Elijah, ang CEO at boss ko! May nangyari sa aming dalawa! Ang unexpected sex naming dalawa ay nauwi sa kontrata ng kasal at sa loob ng isang taon ay pag aari niya ako.

Antonette met Lucas noong gabi ng eighteenth birthday niya at mula noon, hindi na siya naka-recover. Ninong niya ito sa binyag, pero hindi na 'yon ang tumatak sa isip niya. The way he looked at her that night. The way he smiled, like he saw something she didn’t even know she had. Pati ‘yung pagkakasabi niya na ang ganda niya sa suot niyang dress, tumatak sa utak niya. His deep voice. His body under that sleek black suit. Lahat ng ‘yon, hindi niya makalimutan kahit limang taon na ang lumipas. Matagal siyang nagkunwaring okay lang. She tried to forget. Pero sa bawat saglit na naaalala niya si Lucas, may apoy na nabubuhay sa loob niya. She wanted him. Badly.

“Cum for me and be a good girl.” "Then make me, Roigie. Or are you only a commander when I’m already yours?" Roigie is used to being in total control—he’s a Villarreal, it’s in his DNA. When he gives a command like that, he expects absolute submission. He’s using his dominance to mask the fact that he’s actually obsessed with Aria. But Aria? She’s a rebel. She knows that the only thing Rogie wants more than her obedience is her reaction. By challenging him to make her, she’s flipping the script and making him work for the control he craves. Even though they’re at each other's throats, there’s this toxic, possessive energy. Aria is thinking, “If I’m going to be a good girl, it’s only for you”. She hates that she wants him, especially since she’s hiding the pregnancy, but she’d rather be under his command than anywhere near Luigi. While Roigie is busy trying to command her in the bedroom, Luigi is outside waiting to ruin it all. That’s the irony of the love triangle—Roigie is so focused on winning the war inside their marriage that he doesn't see Luigi playing a dirty game with their reputation. Every time Aria submits or fights back, she’s also trying to distract Roigie so he doesn't feel the shapewear or notice her morning sickness. She's playing a lethal game to keep her heart and her secret safe.
