Saint Thomas Aquinas Philosophy

"Akin ka na lang ulit, please... ako na lang ulit..." Hindi lubos akalain ni Sloane na masisira ang tiwala niya sa kaniyang best friend at nobyo matapos itong mahuling nagtatalik. Sa sobrang sakit ng nararamdaman ay dinala siya ng kaniyang mga paa sa isang bar kung saan niya nakilala si Saint, ang sikat na CEO na nagmamay-ari ng isang multibillion company sa tatlong magkakaibang bansa, at hindi inaasahang makaka-one-night stand ito dahil sa sobrang kalasingan. Ang mas malala pa ay nakita niya itong may suot na singsing kaya naisipan niya itong takasan, walang kaalam-alam na ipapahanap na pala siya ng lalaki. Sa muli nilang pagkikita at sa hindi inaasahang pagbubuntis ni Sloane, may mabubuo pa kayang mas malalim sa kanila sa pagtira nila sa iisang bubong o patuloy pa rin silang babalikan ng mga tiwala na nasira mula sa mga taong hindi nila inaasahan? Paano kung ang taong hinahanap nila ay ang isa't isa?

“Get out of my life, I do not need a woman like you” Thomas said as he threw the divorce papers at me after I had caught him with his ex-girlfriend a few times. My life was turned upside down when my husband rejected me and his unborn child in front of his ex-girlfriend, and I had to lose my child. When life crumbles, sometimes the only way is an unexpected offer. I found myself staring at a proposal from the last man I ever imagined, the youngest billionaire. Cold, calculating, he promises me everything I need to rebuild in exchange for a simple arrangement; Bear me a child within a year and leave after. A simple arrangement, or so it seemed. But as I step into his world, I quickly realize nothing is as it seems. The power, the desire, the dangerous game we’re playing… it all becomes far too real. Can I keep my heart intact and leave once the arrangement is fulfilled? Or will I find myself entangled in a way I never expected?

What happens when the man you save becomes the shadow you can’t escape? Maya always believed she was just an ordinary nurse, quietly living each day as it came after a family tragedy that left her grieving and angry. But on a rainy night, everything changes when she finds a stranger bleeding in her bathtub, the windows in her room broken. A man who is dangerous in every ramification. A man who should have died. Saint Lachlan is more than the tech billionaire worshipped by the world. Behind all the charm and the wealth lies a man with ties to the mafia, and a ruthless empire built on secrets and blood. He didn’t ask for her help, but now that both worlds have been intertwined, finding the way back is impossible. To keep his secret, he offers her power, protection, and a place at his side. But it isn't up for debate. She soon realizes that the man she saved that day in her tub didn't just stumble into her apartment by chance. He's been watching her for years. He's been in her life, one with the shadows. And the truth is darker than she can ever imagine. To survive the world she has been plunged into, Maya must decide. Trust the devil who owns her past, or become a weapon that ends them both.

Léa menait une vie paisible auprès de Thomas, un homme doux et prévisible qu’elle s’apprêtait à épouser. Mais le retour inattendu de Nathan, son frère jumeau au charme ravageur et à l’âme libre, fait éclater son univers bien ordonné. Lors d’une fête organisée en son honneur, Nathan fait une entrée remarquée et dans le cœur de Léa, une faille s’ouvre. Son regard brûlant, ses mots empreints de passion, sa façon de vivre sans limites… tout en lui la déstabilise et l’attire irrésistiblement. Entre raison et désir, loyauté et tentation, Léa vacille. Et si le véritable amour ne se trouvait pas là où elle l’avait toujours cru ? Quand deux cœurs battent à contretemps… lequel faut-il écouter ?

She loved him in silence. From the moment she could remember, Sophia Thomas had watched Daniel Harper — her older brother Nathan’s golden-boy best friend — from afar. He was everything: charming, confident, kind. And to him? She was just “Nathan’s little sister.” At fifteen, she tried not to care. Tried not to notice how his smile lit up a room or how his laughter made her heart race. But when Daniel comes home from college and agrees to tutor her in math, Sophia realizes something painful: She never stopped loving him. As they spend more time together, buried feelings begin to surface — on both sides. What starts as stolen glances and quiet longing turns into late-night talks, shared secrets, and moments neither of them expected. But there are rules: - Don’t fall for your brother’s best friend. - Don’t let him see you as anything more than family. - Don’t believe he’ll ever feel the same. Too late.

Si Léa ay namumuhay ng mapayapa kasama si Thomas, isang mahinahon at predictable na lalaki na kanyang pakakasalan. Ngunit ang hindi inaasahang pagbabalik ni Nathan, ang kanyang kambal na kapatid na may nakakamanghang alindog at malayang kaluluwa, ay nagpapabagsak sa kanyang maayos na mundo. Sa isang salu-salo na inihanda para sa kanya, si Nathan ay pumasok nang may kapansin-pansin na presensya at sa puso ni Léa, isang bitak ang nagbukas. Ang kanyang nag-aapoy na tingin, ang kanyang mga salitang puno ng pagnanasa, ang kanyang paraan ng pamumuhay na walang hangganan… lahat sa kanya ay naguguluhan at hindi maiiwasang humahatak sa kanya. Sa pagitan ng rasyonalidad at pagnanasa, katapatan at tukso, si Léa ay naguguluhan. At kung ang tunay na pag-ibig ay hindi matatagpuan sa lugar na palagi niyang inisip? Kapag ang dalawang puso ay tumitibok sa hindi pagkakasabay… aling dapat pakinggan?

"It hurts…" Joanna Horton clutched her swollen belly in agony, a deep, wrenching pain twisting through her that words couldn't describe. Terror filled her voice as she cried out, "It hurts so bad… Theo… please, save our baby…" But outside, there was only silence—except for the soft, steady sounds of prayers and chanting from the next room. That was where her monk husband, Theo Brook, was, praying for the soul of his long-dead first love. Ever since Sharon Cooper jumped off that building, Theo had been grief-stricken. He left everything behind and became a monk, never missing a single night of chanting for her. People said he had the heart of a saint, that he was devoted and had never stopped loving her. But they didn't know that just on the other side of that wall was Joanna—his lawfully wedded wife, the one he had once married in a grand ceremony. Joanna was burning up with fever, her eyes barely open, her face pale and tired. A few days ago, she had made Theo angry. Since then, no matter how much she cried out in pain, he ignored her. Another sharp wave of pain hit, and suddenly, a rush of blood spilled from between her legs. The baby inside her stopped moving. She knew then—her child was gone.
