Regret

Sébastien Perrin n'est pas arrivé à l'heure le jour de notre cérémonie, simplement parce qu'il voulait prendre la défense de ma sœur. Ce n'était qu'à la tombée de la nuit qu'il a demandé à Bêta de me transmettre ce message : « Si tu n'as pas pris le collier de Clara Thomas, elle n'aurait pas passé la journée à souffrir. Je voulais seulement te donner une leçon. » « Si tu refuses de t'excuser auprès de Clara, la cérémonie ne continuera pas. » En un instant, je suis devenue la risée de toute la meute. Même mon frère a pris le parti de Clara en disant : « Si Sébastien a réagi pour elle, c'est l'occasion pour toi de revoir ton attitude. » Je me suis retournée et je suis partie sans un mot. Puisque ni mon compagnon ni mon propre frère n'ont choisi de me soutenir, j'ai décidé que la place d'Alpha serait la mienne.

Three years after our breakup, I never thought I’d see Connor Rogers again. He was no longer the ordinary man I once knew. Now, he was the head of a powerful corporation. And me? I was broke, scraping by every day just to survive. All the love I once felt for him had turned into hatred, every ounce of pain tracing back to him. I straddled him, naked, driving him wild with desire. Leaning down, I whispered in his ear, “Give me the contract.” The moment his eyes clouded over, I knew I had won. The smile I gave him was one I had rehearsed a hundred times, until it looked real. No one could see what lay behind it: my mother’s death, and the baby I lost at eight months in my womb—our child. Now he was begging me to come back, even defying his family for me. But I... hesitated.

Labing-dalawang taong gulang si Dhanna Devino nang maulila siya sa ina. Hindi nito nakayanan nang iwanan sila ng kaniyang ama kaya naging malungkutin hanggang sa ang ina na niya mismo ang bumawi sa sariling buhay. Kaya ipinangako niya sa sarili na balang araw pagbabayarin ang mga taong sumira sa kanilang pamilya. Inakit niya ang asawa ng kapatid niya sa ama upang maipadama dito ang sakit at paghihirap na pinagdaanan niya. Ngunit hindi niya alam na ang mundong pinasok niya ay magdudulot pala sa kaniya ng mas matinding problema. Magagawa pa kaya niyang makawala sa sitwasyong siya mismo ang gumawa?

In my fifth year of marriage to the Don of a powerful mafia family, I find out that the protection charm he gave me causes me headaches whenever I bring it with me. As a surgeon, this raised my alarm. I retrieved the small sachets I had found inside the amulet and brought them to the toxicology lab at Kosley Hospital.. The doctor inspects the sachet and tells me that it contains a type of slow-acting poison that doesn't just cause harm to the victim's body but also renders them infertile after a while. I cry and exclaim, "But that's impossible! My husband gave this to me! His name is Vincenzo Cursley. He's also the person who owns this hospital!" The doctor looks at me in confusion. "Miss, please stop the nonsense. I know Mr. Cursley and his wife. They're very close and intimate with each other. Also, Mrs. Cursley just gave birth to a baby boy not too long ago. They're both now in the VIP ward, looking at their baby." Then, the doctor shows me a photo on his phone. Vincenzo was wearing his usual black suit with the Cursley family emblem embroidered on it. He was holding a baby in his arms, and as for the woman standing next to him… I know her. Her name is Claudia Henderson. And Vincenzo has always referred to her as his adoptive sister.

In her past life, Emily gave up her life so he could live. Now fate has brought them together again, only this time she has no memories of who she once was but Jackson remembers everything. He had lived through centuries, waiting and watching until the day he finally saw her resurrect. She is like his favorite candy - sweet and irresistible but he is cursed, like a man with diabetes craving what he cannot have. Torn between the pain of his curse and the pull of his love, he decided to push her away thinking it was to protect her. Emily loves her mate with all her heart. She would do anything to keep him by her side. But after years of enduring his coldness and harshness, he suddenly became gentle and nice. The shift leaves her wondering what could have happened to him, just after she had made up her mind to leave him.

“You wicked woman! You dare kidnap my daughter?" He growled, gripping her small wrist tight. Samantha squirmed, “You're mistaken, Sir, the child is not yours but mine!” “You dare say that again? Then explain the resemblance between us?” He retorted with raw hatred. Taken aback, all the color drained from Samantha’s face upon the realization he was right. How the hell did she overlook that? No, how the hell was it possible that he was the father of her child! ~~~~~~ It was an unspoken secret that Samantha's twin sister committed a grave sin in her marriage, thus Samantha became her sister’s substitute to bury that infidelity. However, on their 3rd wedding anniversary, Samantha discovers her husband’s infidelity. But that wasn't enough reason for her to -divorce him because she didn't want her daughter fatherless. But one act, one single act almost cost her life and that of her child and Samantha declared defeat, serving Zeke Frost the divorce papers, and left without looking back but with promises to revenge! However, fate had another path in store for her when she encountered the devil himself; Dalton Montclair. The most gorgeous man in the world and the youngest bachelor in the city. He's ruthless, he's got the looks, money, and fame. But what more? He's got a striking resemblance with her son!

"Of all people, why you?" His words were like daggers, piercing through the depths of my soul, shredding my heart into pieces. He ran his fingers through his messy, sexy-looking hair, cursing under his breath a couple of times. Disappointment, anger, and disbelief radiated from his aura. "But why, Adrian?" I asked, my voice breaking. Was I too ugly or undesirable for him to show this level of contempt for having me as his mate? "Isn't it obvious? I don't want you. I need a strong Luna by my side, and your sister, being a shifter, is an obvious choice. I can't love a weak, regular-looking she-wolf like you. Don't you understand? This mateship is a mistake. I can't be mated with you. It's shameful. You will only embarrass me." ******************* Aria Williams was devastated when her mate, Adrian Patterson, rejected her in favor of her sister, Cassie. Heartbroken, she decided to live as a rogue. For two years, she had learned to put everything behind her and move on with her life. But one night changed everything, prompting her to look back and confront the one person she had been running away from. Is she ready to confront the ghosts of her past? More so, is she ready to claim the destiny that the Moon Goddess has bestowed upon her?

Being the granddaughter and only blood relative of one of the most powerful Alphas alive should've made Samara the princess of her pack if not heir to the Alpha throne — adored, protected, and living the dream every female werewolf craves. But that wasn't the case with Samara. Why? Well because she's the product of two bloodlines that should never have crossed paths, an abomination — a curse in wolf form. And this led to her being shipped off to a distant pack at a very young age, where she grew up as nothing more than a slave and lowly omega, a punching bag for those who thought she didn't belong, because she doesn't. Just when she thought life couldn't get any worse, she discovers her grandfather's cruel plan to marry her off to strengthen alliances. Desperate for freedom, Samara runs away, guided only by her wolf and the hope of a new beginning. But fate is never kind to the cursed. Her escape leads her straight into the territory of her mate — a cold, ruthless Alpha who would rather spill her blood than claim her. And to make things worse, she isn't just fighting for her life… she's fighting for his heart against the Beta who already owns it. What do you think will happen when Lucian, her mate, discovers the deadly and powerful secret of her bloodline? And what about when she meets George — Lucian's rival and sworn enemy — and realizes how wildly her heart beats for him, how intensely her body craves him? Who do you think she'll end up with… that is, if she gets a happily ever after?

“He broke her heart once. Now he’s willing to lose his empire just to win it back.” --- Simula 12 years old pa lang ay minahal na si Talia si Caden Montclair. Kaya nang magkasundo ang kanilang mga pamilya na ipakasal sila sa isa't-isa ay labis-labis ang saya niya. Pero sa loob ng tatlong taon, sikreto silang naging mag-asawa nang hindi nagsasama sa iisang bubong. Bagkus, dalawang beses sa isang buwan ay nagkikita sila ni Caden sa Montclair Villa para punan ang “obligasyon” niya sa asawa at iyon ay maging bed partner nito. Hanggang sa isang araw ay natauhan na lang si Talia. Napagtanto niya na kahit anong gawin niya ay hindi siya magagawang mahalin pabalik ni Caden. Kaya nang magpunta siya sa mansyon ng mga Montclair ay kinausap niya ang asawa at sinabing, “Caden, let's get divorce.” “You’re willing to give up being Mrs. Montclair that easily?” malamig namang tanong ni Caden. “Yes. I already prepared the documents.” Matapos niyon ay umalis na si Talia at hindi na muling nagpakita pa. Pero makalipas ang ilang taon, ay muli siyang nagbalik bilang isang babaeng may dignidad, puno ng kumpiyansa, at kinikilala sa buong bansa. At ngayon, si Caden Montclair naman ang naghahabol sa kanya at humihingi ng second chance. The man who once ignored her now can’t stop chasing her. But Talia has finally learned something he never did— love without respect isn’t love at all.

Meanwhile, I get berated by the same man in public. Even when I get kidnapped, Vincenzo chooses to not save me just because he wants to take care of Lina. I've given Vincenzo five years of my love, only to end up with nothing good. So, I delete all of his contact information and board the ship meant for Castelloro. Vincenzo, I'm not going to pine for the genuine love and respect you owe me anymore. Let's not see each other again for the rest of our lives. We don't owe each other anything anymore.
