Raw Peridot

It was Hana Verlice’s engagement party — but the only thing she could think about was that night six months ago. The night Dante Carter pinned her against the backseat window of his car,cheeks pressed to the glass, her dress lifted to her waists, with his mouth buried between her legs. Now, she was hours away from marrying his older brother. Elijah Osborne Carter — the perfect man, heir to Osborne Pharmaceuticals, and her father’s last hope of saving their crumbling empire. But as she slipped into her designer dress, her mind couldn't stop thinking about the one man she could never have. Dante. The mistake she was supposed to forget. The temptation she swore never to touch again. The younger brother who disappeared after that night and was never supposed to come back. But as she stepped out of her dressing room to join her soon-to-be husband at the party, there he was. Leaning at the foot of the stairs like raw sin. Messy hair. Dark eyes. That cocky mouth that once had her moaning his name in ecstacy. Her pulse quickened as her knees threatened to give out. She tried to breathe. To stay still. But one look at him… and she knew she was in trouble. “What the hell are you doing here?” she whispered, her voice barely holding. He smirked, slow and knowing as his gaze dropped shamelessly to her lips. “Did you miss me, cookie?”

Dahil sa iskandalong nangyari sa unibersidad na pinasukan ni Aria Calvari, ipinadala siya ng kanyang madrasta sa probinsya. Ayaw ng kanyang madrasta na ang pamilyang Calvari ay malagay sa alanganin. Ngunit akala niya’y tahimik ang buhay na naghihintay sa kanya roon. Sa halip ay napunta siya sa bubong ng kanyang Uncle Lucio. Si Uncle Lucio Navarro ay isang misteryosong lalaki. Hindi ito tunay na tiyuhin ni Aria dahil orphan si Uncle Lucio na itinuturing na kapatid ng yumaong ama ni Aria. Gayunman, maraming naririnig na tsismis si Aria. Si Uncle Lucio ay isa rawng babaero, kriminal, dating sundalo at posibleng isang mamamatay-tao. Noong una, puros kaba ang nasa katawan ni Aria dahil sa malamig na tingin at mapang-akit na katahimikan ni Uncle Lucio. Habang lumalalim ang kanilang pagkakaibigan ay mas lumalalim din ang pagnanasa nila sa isa’t isa. Pinipigilan lamang ni Uncle Lucio ang kanyang sarili dahil alam niyang bawal ang kanyang iniisip na nagkagusto kay Aria. Ngunit ang ginawa ni Aria, inakit siya nito. Makasalanan ang dalaga. Masiyado itong dalaga dahil malaki ang agwat ng kanilang edad. Masyadong delikado at higit sa lahat ay ang masyadong malapit sa kanyang nakaraan. Sa gitna ng lahat, kahit anong layo niya kay Aria, siya namang patuloy na paglapit nito. Hanggang sa hindi na niya na pigilan ang kanyang sarili. Ang makasalanang gabi nilang dalawa ni Aria ay nasundan pa ng maraming beses. At kung kailan nagkaroon na sila ng magandang ugnayan, siya namang pag gitna ng mga tsismis. Muling nabuhay ang akusasyon laban kay Uncle Lucio. Maraming nagsasabi na isa raw siyang salot na sumisira sa buhay ng babae? Ngunit para kay Aria, handa ba siyang tumakbo palayo, o panindigan niya ang lalaking unang nagturo sa kanyang umibig ng totoo, kahit sa madilim na oras? Ano ang pipiliin ni Aria?

Scarlette Newton thought her five-year marriage was built on love—until she walked in on her husband in a hotel room with her younger sister. Betrayed. Humiliated. And constantly blamed for not giving him a child. As if that pain wasn’t enough, Ethan served her divorce papers and spat the words that shattered her soul: “You’re useless. Broken. Unwanted.” Just when her world came crashing down, Liam—Ethan’s younger brother—stepped forward with a shocking proposal that flipped everything. “Let me ruin you for him, Scarlette…” Liam growled, his breath hot against my thighs as he knelt between my legs, eyes burning into mine. “Marry me—and I’ll make you forget what it ever felt like to be touched by my brother. I’ll make your body scream my name until his becomes a curse you never speak again.” Now Scarlette must decide: walk away quietly like everyone expects… or marry Liam and tear the Newton name down from the inside.
