Sabrina And Shawn

Our third wedding anniversary was coming up, but my wife, a programmer at a major tech company, suddenly claimed she had to work overtime to meet deadlines. She said she couldn't go on the trip we'd planned. That very afternoon, however, her intern posted a video on social media. My wife—the same woman who normally wouldn't even open a door for fear of chipping her manicure—was holding a screwdriver, repairing an old flip phone. The caption read: [Having a programmer wife is the best. Even when Grandma's phone breaks, we don't need to pay for repairs.] I chuckled, liked the post, and commented: [Right up her alley.] Within minutes, the company group chat exploded. There were over ninety-nine unread messages speculating on when I'd finally snap. Not long after, my wife called. Her voice was ice-cold. "What was that comment supposed to mean? How is Shawn supposed to face anyone at work now? "His grandma's phone broke, so I fixed it. What's the problem? Your parents have always spoiled you. You can't possibly understand real hardship. "Delete the comment. I'll make it up to you over the New Year; we can take that trip then." The New Year? I'd already waited through two other major public holidays. I'd even taken special leave for this trip, and she still bailed. Now she was dangling empty promises again? I hung up on her. My leave ended around the same time as our divorce cooling-off period.

"Good boys don't wear briefs," the man murmured in a low, seductive tone, causing Ivan's blood to heat up. An involuntary soft moan escaped Ivan's lips as he fought to catch his breath. Upon returning home from the office, he had purposely discarded his briefs, knowing the effect it had on his mysterious lover. The man always preferred him naked, and Ivan complied willingly. Whispering softly, Ivan repeated the words of his dream invader: "Good boys do not wear briefs." His voice was barely audible. The man pulled Ivan's buttocks firmly against his hips, causing a surge of sensations to rush through Ivan's body. "Good boys must be spanked," the man declared, inhaling Ivan's sweet scent, before planting his lips on the exposed soft skin. Ivan trembled and closed his eyes as the man playfully bit and kissed his neck, his hands teasingly exploring his torso, eventually reaching his sensitive, hardened nipples. After weeks of longing and erotic torture, there was one thing Ivan yearned for: Why couldn't his dream progress to the moment when the man actually penetrated him? The point where he claimed Ivan as his own. For at least, Ivan believed that he would truly comprehend what it felt like to be intertwined with him even in his dreams. To have himself be intimately connected with him. However, Ivan was aware that enduring the torture from this man, in his dreams, was the price he must pay for what he did ten years ago. Everything he feared, everything he regretted was coming back to slap him in the face tonight. By 6 p.m. he would be coming face to face with his dream invader at the college ten years reunion party, Shawn Maddox, in flesh.

Na véspera do nosso casamento, Leonardo Silva foi brutalmente agredido em um incidente inesperado. Quando cheguei ao hospital, desesperada com a notícia, ele já não me reconhecia mais. Os médicos diagnosticaram uma amnésia temporária causada pelo trauma na cabeça. Então, fiz de tudo. Planejei roteiros. Refiz nossos passos. Levei-o aos lugares que guardavam nossas memórias. Tudo para reacender algo, qualquer coisa. Mas, numa das visitas ao hospital, durante uma simples consulta de retorno, ouvi por acaso uma conversa entre ele e os amigos: — A Sabrina se esforça tanto por você. Isso não te comove? — Perguntou um deles. — Comover? Dá até enjoo. — Respondeu Leonardo, rindo. — Ela só me leva nos mesmos lugares de sempre. Tudo sem graça. As novinhas, sim... Sabem inovar. — E por que ainda vai se casar com ela? Se fosse eu, eu já teria cancelado o noivado e ido aproveitar a vida. Leonardo explodiu: — Cala a boca! Como pode dizer isso? Eu amo a Sabi! Nunca romperia com ela! Eu vou me casar com ela! Só... Talvez com um pequeno adiamento. Naquele momento, olhando o relatório médico perfeitamente normal em minhas mãos, tudo fez sentido. Não há grito que desperte quem escolheu fechar os olhos.

(this book contain raw languages and explicit contents, don't blame on the author, read at your detriment) "You don't have to, not when you are willingly offering yourself to the devil himself" he moves round, circling her. " And you know what he's capable of doing, torture is what he's good at" "If I am standing before the devil himself, then" she paused before continuing, "I am ready to ride into his heart" she was bold. " You don't seem to be scared of darkness, do you? " He tilts his head to the side. " Not when I've spent every second in darkness," She said trying so hard not to cry. " I am ready to be consumed by the darkness in hell, to be bound to you for as long as I live and afterlife if only you make me yours! "She spoke out in a confident and decisive tone. " Little bunny," he was more than amused, " you don't make a deal with the devil! " He warns. That didn't scare her, as she spoke out." I already have" He let out devilish laughter, as the building vibrated in response as if experiencing an earthquake. His gaze travels back to the bunny, " SHE IS MINE!" His tone was so firm, claiming her before the Mafia Lords. Audrey Shawn is a girl who has always believed in the love of family, not until she was sold by her dad, the same person who was meant to protect her. She was broken, but the thought of being sold to the highest bidder hurts, She willingly offers herself to a man she hasn't met before, beckoning to her, he was the devil himself. What will happen when she finds out that she's crossed a deal with the devil and can't find a way to escape?

Selama enam tahun, aku diam-diam menjalin hubungan dengan saudara tiriku, Draven, yang juga ahli waris keluarga mafia. Setiap malam, sentuhannya menjelajahi tubuhku, penuh hasrat yang mendesak. Tatapan yang dia berikan padaku di saat-saat intim itu membuatku percaya bahwa akulah satu-satunya perempuan yang mampu menyalakan gairah seperti itu di dalam dirinya. Sampai satu bulan lalu, ketika aku mengetahui bahwa aku hamil. Sehari sebelum Hari Valentine, aku masuk diam-diam ke ruang kerjanya, berniat memberinya kejutan. Dari celah pintu, aku mendengarnya berbicara dengan Rian, penasihat keluarga. "Kamu belum bosan dengan Alana, adik tirimu itu? Pertunanganmu sudah tinggal menunggu waktu. Jangan bilang kamu benar-benar jatuh cinta padanya." Senyum dingin terukir di wajahnya. "Jatuh cinta padanya? Dia hanya target yang terlalu mudah, datang sendiri ke dalam genggamanku. Terlalu sayang jika dilewatkan." "Ibunya telah membuat ibuku mati sebelum waktunya. Enam tahun ini adalah harga yang harus dia bayar. Dan dia pantas menerima semuanya." "Dan seperti yang sudah kukatakan, istriku kelak hanya Sabrina Santoso. Tidak akan ada yang lain." "Pernikahan itu akan mengamankan jalur penyelundupan pelabuhan Keluarga Santoso dan hanya itu yang penting." Jadi, cinta yang selama ini kupercaya hanyalah sandiwara balas dendam yang disusun dengan rapi. Setiap pelukan darinya hanyalah kebohongan yang terencana. Baiklah. Sudah saatnya aku dan anak kami yang belum lahir lenyap sepenuhnya dari hidupnya.

I’m trapped in this marriage… Yes, I’m only a wife on paper. Legally bound, but not in the way we live our lives. Six years have passed, yet I’ve lived like a single woman. But I’m not allowed to love the person I truly want. If there’s anything good that came out of this situation, it’s that we gained a comfortable life—and we no longer live in fear of being hurt again by my alcoholic father. And him? Enjoying his lustful life as if nothing happened in the past six years. An educated woman, yet powerless to escape this prison made of paper. “I didn’t ask for that money!! I worked for all of it. Why?! Don’t you remember what you did to me that night?! How you violated me?! How my body was left covered in bruises and marks?! You may have bought me with your money… but that will never change the evil thing you did.” “You only made me your whore once, Ethan!! You feel disgusted with me? Well don’t you worry, my husband—I feel the same way too. I’m still haunted by nightmares of that lustful night… how you tied me up and pinned me to the bed… how you forced yourself on me so hard because you thought I was Sabrina—the one who hurt you!!! The only thing I did was sell myself to you, but I’ve been trying to forget it all and make things right!!” “I am your wife, Ethan!!! Your wife on that damned piece of paper!!! So no matter what your mistress does… she will always remain just a mistress—as long as I choose it to be that way. And there’s nothing you can do about it.”

A ex-namorada claustrofóbica de Mateus Souza bloqueou meu carro à beira do penhasco, na Estrada Alto da Serra. A cento e sessenta quilômetros por hora, bateu no meu carro doze vezes. Quando Mateus chegou, acompanhando a viatura da polícia, os bombeiros estavam me retirando à força do banco do motorista, já completamente deformado. Ele, porém, foi direto ao carro esportivo de edição limitada, que tinha apenas alguns arranhões na pintura, e abraçou Beatriz Martins, que tremia dos pés à cabeça. — Sr. Mateus, a Srta. Sabrina está com um ferimento na testa e sangrando. Precisamos levá-la imediatamente ao hospital para sutura. Mateus ergueu a mão, impedindo a passagem da maca de que me carregava, lançou um olhar rápido para minha testa ensanguentada e para os hematomas no meu braço: — É apenas um ferimento leve. Beatriz sofre de claustrofobia; aqui, neste lugar isolado, a situação dela é mais urgente. Levem-na primeiro ao hospital. No momento em que fui abandonada, reuni minhas últimas forças e me agarrei, em desespero, à barra da calça dele. Com o cenho franzido, ele abriu meus dedos um a um: — Beatriz não fez por mal, foi apenas uma crise. Você é advogada, deve entender o que é força maior. Pare de criar problemas. — Em seguida, pegou um acordo de conciliação das mãos do assistente, segurou meu pulso já sem forças e pressionou minha digital no papel. — Há mais veículos de resgate a caminho. Aguente mais um pouco.

Being the only daughter of the Calhoun family, a mafia family in Merovia, I am doted on like a princess. This changes when I turn 18, when Mom dies. On the way back from a family meeting, the car blows up, and Mom shields me beneath her. Even as she lies in a pool of blood, her gaze is tender as she says to me, "Don't blame yourself, sweetheart. I love you." Still, after Mom's death, everyone in the family starts blaming me for what happened, including Dad and my older brother, William Calhoun. I go from being the princess of the family to the jinx that everyone hates. Soon after that, Dad brings home a new adopted daughter, Juliet Calhoun. William favors her and detests me. Even my childhood sweetheart, Shawn Kramer, takes a liking to her and ignores me. Dad says his new adopted daughter is way better than his biological one. They all agree to attend my college graduation ceremony. But on the day, they end up taking Juliet onto our family's yacht and holding a cocktail party out on the water to celebrate the official addition of a new family heir. This is the 100th time they ditch me for her. Unable to stop myself from an emotional breakdown, I cry out, "I'm the one who's related to you by blood!" Dad shields Juliet, who backs away from me out of fear. Then, he slaps me on the face. "I wish I'd never had you." "Who wants to have a younger sister like you? I wish you'd died with Mom!" William roars in contempt. This time, I've decided to let it all go. I call Aunt Marissa, Mom's sister. She's the founder and a therapist at MindCare Treatment Center. "Come here. This is your home now." I know that Mom's death was a conspiracy. This isn't just me leaving, but withdrawing myself from the family entirely. I hope that the next time I meet the Calhouns, there won't be tears on my end. Instead, judgment will befall them.

Dalawang taon nang naniniwalang legal wife si Isabel Cienne Lopez. Pero nang ipa-verify niya ang marriage certificate nila, doon niya nalaman ang totoo. Peke ang kasal nila ng asawa niyang si Joshua Casiño. Gusto niyang komprontahin si Joshua, pero may narinig siyang usapan sa study room nang puntahan niya ito. “Don’t worry, she still trusts me,” kampanteng sabi ng lalaki. “Good,” sagot ng babae. “Basta tandaan mo, ako ang legal wife mo.” Ang kausap nito? Si Sabrina Carpio. Ang dati nilang guidance counselor sa university na anim na taon ang tanda sa kanya. At doon bumagsak ang lahat-lahat para kay Isobel. Limang taon nang kasal ang dalawa, si Joshua at Sabrina. Ibig sabihin, ginamit lang si Isobel bilang shield. Siya ang pinakitang asawa sa publiko. Mas masakit pa, siya ang sinisisi kung bakit wala raw silang anak. Ang pinakamalala? Ang batang inampon nila ay tunay palang anak ng dalawa. Hindi nag-iskandalo si Isobel. Tahimik lang siyang tumawag sa abogado ng pamilya niya. “Attorney, single ako. No husband. No child. Lahat ng inheritance, sa akin lang.” “Are you sure?” “Yes.” At umalis siya nang hindi lumilingon. Akala ni Joshua babalik din si Isobel noong umalis ito. “She can’t survive without me, she loves me so much.” Pero ilang linggo lang ang lumipas, napabalita sa buong bansa ang isang engrandeng kasalan. Isang marriage alliance sa pagitan ng isang powerful tycoon at isang biglang lumitaw na heiress. Sa panonood ng TV, nanigas si Joshua. Si Isobel ang bride. Nakatayo siya sa tabi ng lalaking mukhang makapangyarihan, hawak ang kamay nito, confident at malamig ang tingin. “She is my wife,” sabi ng lalaki sa harap ng media. Sa pagkakataong ito, totoo na ang kasal ni Isobel. At doon lang na-realize ni Joshua na hindi pala siya kawalan kay Isobel. Siya ang iniwan, at siya itong maghahabol sa "asawa" na niloko niya ngunit hindi na niya maaabot pa.
