Robin Lim

🔥 WARNING: SLOW BURN and RICH IN NARRATIVE 🔥 Ashley and Josh were in a political marriage. At first, Ashley went along with it because she had liked Josh since childhood. But for Josh, it was a different story. He was head over heels for his girlfriend, Sharon. Josh was always cold to her and openly prioritized Sharon over everything else. It felt like torture for Ashley, and it seemed like it was only her who was dealing with it. Even worse, when they moved to Los Angeles, Sharon was brought along. Ashley desperately wanted to get out of the hell that Josh had built for her, but she was hindered by the agreement she had made with her family. There would be fatal consequences she might face if she divorced Josh. The only option she had was to have Josh be the one to file for divorce instead. So she did everything she could to make Josh, who was usually apathetic, turn to hating her. With help from Mark, CEO of Ashley's workplace and Josh's rival company, Ashley intensifies her efforts to carry out her plans to escape Josh. But at the same time, unexpectedly, she begins to experience a series of horrors that threaten her life. Ashley suspects that Josh is the mastermind behind all of this and urges herself to be more cautious in her actions. "My husband, Josh Lim, is the only person who will benefit from my death.” Surprisingly, Josh and—especially—Sharon are not spared as the target of terror, which makes Josh and Ashley strongly suspicious of each other. Their secret investigations lead to the revelation of dark secrets between their families. _________ × The beginning focus heavily on Josh and Sharon. × Josh and Ashley’s relationship will begin intensely from Chapter 50.

A Spin-off to Rejected Mythical Luna —Julian X Robin Story They say destiny determines how our lives play out, that the Moon Goddess shapes our paths. But if that’s true, then she did a terrible job with mine. Because as I’m being dragged away, all eyes on me and tears burning down my cheeks, I finally understand how cruel destiny can be. After surviving the war with my Alpha and the Luna, a new battle begins, one I didn’t choose but must finish. Revenge? Justice? Maybe that’s what I should live for. Maybe that’s what should keep me fighting, to hunt down the Men of Shadows who destroyed everything I loved. But as I run through that field with the people I now dare to call friends, none of that seems to matter anymore. All I want is my life back. My family. My pack. Him. And if that means killing again, I’ll do it, only this time, I knew better than to do it alone. “Did you really think leaving me behind was the best choice?” he asked, his breath hot against my skin. “I came to you twice, Julian,” he says, his grip firm, his voice trembling with something between pain and love. “You pushed me away both times. This time, I won’t let you fight alone.” Then his lips crashed against mine, and a single tear slipped free. Was this the retribution I’d been seeking… or just the beginning of a curse written by fate.

"When Zack Wallace’s uncle offered him the chance to fulfill his dreams with a job flying for his Alaska charter service, no way was Bailey George going to hold him back. Flying was Zack’s life. Which is why she never told him about the unexpected, unplanned pregnancy. Or answered his letters or returned his calls. Instead, she moved away, got her law degree, and raised her son with the help of her family and friends. When Bailey is charged with running a retreat for her law partners at Casa Blanca Resort and Spa at Barefoot Bay, the last person she expects to run into is Zack. But any chance of a future comes to a shrieking halt when Bailey’s son, the image of Zack, shows up at Barefoot Bay.

If she has to hide a way, she gives thanks for the hiding place they picked…a luxury resort. Trey DeMarcus.

When these two meet up, they have nothing in common except lives in chaos. Sunstroke is created by Desiree Holt, an EGlobal Creative Publishing signed author."

The night my sister died during a failed emergency procedure, a gang of thugs stopped the car that was taking me to the funeral home. They desecrated her body right in front of me, then beat me until every bone in my body felt shattered and the tendons in my hands were severed. The next day, the news that my hands were ruined and I would never be able to operate again made the headlines. Because of that, my fiancée of eight years, Sandra Walker, broke off our engagement. The very next day, she left for an overseas medical conference with the man she had always loved. When I was on the verge of collapse, Sandra's aunt, Magnolia Walker, set off fireworks for me and announced our wedding to the entire city. "Kayden Foster, I've loved you for so long. Now, I can finally stand by your side. In this life, you're the only man I want to marry!" In that endless despair, I clung to her as my only lifeline. On our wedding day, after I came back from paying my respects to my sister, I accidentally overheard Magnolia talking to her assistant, Robin Myers. "Dr. Walker, for your niece Sandy to be able to marry Quinton Kerr, I arranged for an intern to operate on Kayden's sister, hired people to cripple him, and had his sister's body violated. The police are still investigating, and I'm starting to get a little nervous. Isn't this too cruel?" After a brief silence, Magnolia spoke in a tired voice. "What choice did I have? Kayden was too proud. If I hadn't removed the sister he depended on and ruined both his hands, how could I make him fall apart? How else could I have made him break things off with Sandy without anyone suspecting a thing? "Quin and I were never meant to be in this life. As long as he's happy, that's enough..."

Para kay Dhalia Augustine Madrigal, ang buhay ay isang serye ng pagsubok—lalo na nang tanggapin niya ang trabahong maging sekretarya ng malupit at istriktong bilyonaryo, si Henri Yanno Garciaz. Habang lahat ng naunang sekretarya ay hindi nagtagal, siya lang ang nagtiis at nakasabay sa ugali nito. Ngunit hindi niya inasahan na ang trabahong ito ang magdadala sa kanya sa isang alok na magpapabago sa kanyang buhay. Isang kasal kapalit ng sampung milyong piso. Para kay Henri, si Dhalia ang perpektong sagot upang makaiwas sa isang sapilitang kasal sa kanyang unang pag-ibig. Ngunit sa kabila ng kasunduang iyon, hindi niya maitanggi ang lumalalim niyang damdamin para sa babaeng laging naroon para sa kanya. Unti-unting nagbago ang kanilang relasyon, at sa kabila ng mga pagsubok, natagpuan nila ang tunay na kaligayahan sa isa’t isa. Ngunit sa isang iglap, nagbago ang lahat. Isang rebelasyong nag-ugat sa nakaraan ang gumulo sa buhay ni Dhalia—isa pala siyang Lim, kapatid ng dating minahal ni Henri. At ang mas matinding dagok, isang larawan ang sumira sa kanilang tiwala—isang larawan na nagpatunay na may ibang babae si Henri. Sa gitna ng sakit at kahihiyan, pinili niyang lumayo, dala ang lihim na siya rin ay nagdadalang-tao. Limang taon ang lumipas, at sa kabila ng pagtatago ni Dhalia, hindi siya tinantanan ng lalaking minsan niyang minahal. Ngayon, muling bumalik si Henri sa buhay niya, handang patunayan ang isang bagay—na sa kabila ng lahat, si Dhalia lang ang babaeng nais niyang makasama habambuhay. Ngunit sapat ba ang pagmamahal upang paghilumin ang sugat ng nakaraan?

Ako si Anne Villar Tambalos, 25 years old. May nobyo ako for 3 years at may balak na kaming magpakasal. Sya si Conrad Lim, galing sa mayamang angkan sa Bohol. Akala ko ay ito na ang lalaking para sa akin pero hindi pala.  Nahuli ko itong nagmu-mukbang sa talaba ng ibang babae. Labis akong nasaktan dahil dalawang buwan na lang ay kasal namin.  Lahat sama ng loob ay sinabi ko sa'kin ina. Kaya agad akong pinayuhan na mag-move on ako, dahil hindi lang ito lalake sa mundo.  Kahit masakit ay kinailangan kong mag-move on sa kabiguan ng pag-ibig.  Isang araw niyaya nila akong mag-bar upang mabawasan ang sakit na aking nararamdaman. Agad akong sumama dahil naroon naman si Celyn kaya walang dapat ipag-alala.  Hindi ko alam naparami ang nainom namin. Kaya nagawa kong makipag-siping sa isang estrangherong lalake.  "Congratulations, you're 1 week pregnant!" parang bombang sumabog na aking pandinig. Hindi ko akalain magbubunga pala ang isang gabing pinagsaluhan namin estrangherong lalake. Dahil sa takot nagtago ako dala-dala ang aming anak sa aking sinapupunan at umalis patungo sa Maynila kasama ang aking kaibigan.  Masaya sana dahil natakasan ko ang dalawang lalaking naging malaking parte pagbabago sa buhay ko. Pero ang ama aking anak ay syang magiging Boss ko pala. Dahilan upang magkunwari ako na hindi ko ito kilala o nakita man lang.  Siya si Dixon Stanley Floyd, multi- billionaire. Hanggang umeksena ang kanyang ina at pinagbintangan ako ng isang bagay na hindi ginawa. Hindi man lang kasi ako pinagtanggol ni Dixon sa kanyang ina.  Hanggang niluwal ko ang anak namin, na sya namang muling pagpapakita ng aking ex. Humingi ito ng tawad sa kanyang ginawa noong nagtaksil ito sa'kin. Nais itong tumayong ama sa'king anak.  "Hihintayin ko ang sagot mo, babalik ako bukas. Kaya pag-isipan mo ang aking sinabi!" saad nito, saka tuluyang umalis.

Pagmamahalang langit at lupa. Ganyan kung ilarawan ni Hershey Mae Mendoza ang pangalawa niyang pag-ibig na si Frich Yuan Lim Guerrero, pinsan ng dati niyang kasintahan na si Alex. Kabilang lamang sa ordinaryong pamilya sa probinsya ng Cavite si Hershey. Mula naman sa kilalang angkan ng mga bilyonaryo sa China ang pamilya ni Yuan kaya malaki ang pagtutol ng mga magulang nito sa pagmamahalan ng dalawa. Para sa mga magulang ni Yuan, ay dapat mayamang babae rin ang makatuluyan niya na salungat sa estado ng buhay ni Hershey, kaya naging malaking hadlang ang mga ito sa kanila. Nagsimula ang istorya nila Hershey at Yuan nang magkaroon ng pagkakataong mag-aral ang dalaga sa De La Salle University-Dasmariñas, isa sa pinakasikat na paaralan sa Pilipinas na tanging mayayaman lamang ang may kakayahang makapag-aral. Sa pag-aakala ni Hershey na si Alex na ang kanyang tunay na pag-ibig ay nakaramdam siya ng labis na kalungkutan at pagkabigo nang magkasakit ito sa puso at napili siya nitong iwan at umalis ng bansa. Nagkahiwalay sila at doon niya nakilala si Yuan, na nabigo rin sa kanyang dating pag-ibig na si Hani. Nagtagpo ang landas nila Hershey at Yuan sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon. Naging sandalan nila ang isa’t isa at hinilom ng pagmamahalan nila ang mga puso nilang labis na nawasak. Subalit ang relasyong unti-unting nabuo ay nagdulot lamang ng napakaraming balakid. Paulit-ulit kasing pinamumukha ng kapalaran sa dalawa ang agwat ng estado nila sa buhay at ng mga taong nais manggulo sa kanilang pag-iibigan, mga trahedyang hindi inaasahan at pag-asang panandalian lang. Paano kung bumalik ang pag-ibig nila mula sa nakaraan, at handang kalabanin ang kasalukuyan? Ipaglalaban ba nila ang kanilang pagmamahalan? Patuloy pa rin kaya silang kakapit sa pag-iibigang pinagbabawal? O hahayaan nalang nilang sumaya ang isa't isa sa piling ng iba?

Georgia, ma meilleure amie, et moi, nous sommes tombées amoureuses en même temps des deux fils de la famille Tellier, et, dans le même élan, nous nous sommes retrouvées enceintes. Georgia a fait tout un drame dès qu’elle est tombée amoureuse, ne cessant de crier sur tous les toits qu’un moine avait renoncé à sa vie religieuse pour l’épouser. Quant à moi, j’évitais de parler de mon copain, le fils aîné d’une grande famille puissante de la capitale, au point que tout le monde croyait que j’étais encore célibataire. Un jour, par hasard, Georgia est tombée sur mon rapport de grossesse. Furieuse, elle s’est précipitée dans mon dortoir avec ses amies toutes aussi menaçantes que des gangsters. Dans une explosion de rage incontrôlable, elle a lancé des excréments sur mon lit. Elle a craché : « Je te considère comme ma meilleure amie et toi, tu essaies de séduire mon mari ? » Sur les réseaux sociaux, elle a lancé des rumeurs à mon sujet, m’accusant d’être une femme sans scrupules, qui adorait se fourrer entre les amoureux. Mais ce n’était pas tout : elle avait aussi drogué ma soupe tonique, dans une tentative insidieuse de provoquer une fausse couche. Je n’ai pas supporté cela et j’ai jeté la soupe sur sa tête, la laissant se répandre sur elle. Je lui ai déclaré froidement : « Écoute, Marius n’est pas le seul fils de la famille Tellier ! » En apprenant cela, Robin, mon mari assez puissant pour régner sur toute la capitale, a enroulé ses bras autour de ma taille et m’a dit avec une expression glaciale : « Ma chérie, les rumeurs disent que tu étais la maîtresse de mon petit frère ? »
