Sally Face Mask

I had a simple plan. Get a good GPA, escape to college and never turn back. A secret admirer with a few temperamental issues and a perfectly possessive boyfriend is what I never wanted. What I didn't look past was the charming aura that was masking his mysterious deeds and a huge crush he had on me, the moment he laid his eyes. To him, I was the only person that mattered in life. To me, he was the one person I was running from, all my life.

The day of my wedding photoshoot, my family's adoptive daughter tugs my veil off and asks loudly, "Aren't you our family's adoptive daughter? What are you doing here? Today's the day Ian and I are supposed to have our wedding photoshoot. Aren't you going to disgrace Ford Group by being here?" In the past, I would've run away in tears. Unfortunately for her, I'd been reborn. I slapped Aspen Miller and retorted, "What right do you have to speak to me? Who do you think you are, having a wedding photoshoot with Adrian? Are you worthy of being associated with Ford Group?"

The Richie Rich who violated my daughter has gotten off unscathed. He sneers and throws a wad of cash in my face. "I'll show you what people mean when they say money makes the world go round!" In that split second, I want to tear him to pieces.

"He is Sinister... A formidable villain in every story. His name alone is enough to send most people running. He is the king of darkness. But beneath this darkness, I could see a glimpse of ray, that ray I think was enough to eliminate the darkness in him, and it was my anchor of hope and solace." ~~~~~~~ Born into a family where no one likes you, everything evil could be thrown at you. Karla was forced into taking the place of her sister, as the mate of a ruthless alpha, the most dreaded Alpha in all the wolves' world. The Alpha, she just watch killed someone cold-blooded. Running away was her only option, but her plans failed when she wasn't able to get to the place her supposed friend, Shadow, the one she met on an app was to get her before her father got her back. She had no choice but to face the destiny forced upon her. Trapped in the mask of her sister and becomes the mate of the Alpha, she dreaded all her life. What will happen when she meets the king of darkness, the one she had four rules against: Never kiss him!!! Never reveal your face to him!!! Never fall in love with him and never reveal our plans to him!!!

"Mr. Clarke, can you help me get rid of the tattoo on my butt?" The young man asks me for help with red-rimmed eyes. A lot of people have specifically requested me to tattoo something on their body. Honestly, this is the first time I've received a request to remove a tattoo from one's butt. He grits his teeth, as though he has finally made up his mind. "I just found out that my girlfriend has a husband! I want to break up with her, so I must get rid of the tattoo!" I nod in response. "Strip down and let me see the area and the mass covered." The man hesitates for a moment before turning his back on me and slowly taking off his pants. As soon as his right buttcheek is revealed, I feel my breath getting hitched in my throat. My wife, Annie Sylvester's face is actually tattooed on that area.

Penelope Lorenzo, a woman who’d just lost everything and in utter shambles. She had never imagined that life would bring her to this point. Brayden Giovanni, the big, masked mafia who shouldn’t be trifled with. Billionaire by day and Don by night. Thrust in each other’s worlds by circumstances beyond their control and some that seemed to be in his control. But with danger lurking from their forgotten pasts, including a serial killer on the loose, choices must be made or consequences abound. What happens when their cocoon is threatened by forces they can’t seem to identify? What happens when she leaves after unraveling his secrets and almost gets trafficked? Will she embrace he who would raze the underworld for her or will she leave with the fruit of their passion?

I was born a male Omega, but raised as a Beta. I had no scent, no voice, and no freedom. My uncle had killed my parents to seize their company, and I was spared only to serve as a puppet heir. But when my suppressed heat broke through during a public gala, the ruthless Alpha Prince of the North caught my scent. And he didn’t just recognize it. He claimed me. Now, with the kingdom watching, he won’t let me go. But if he learns who I really am… He might protect me—or finish what my uncle started.

"Should I take off my clothes now?" she added while staring at me from head to toe. Shit. Why would she ask that in front of me? Wasn't taking off her clothes my job like I always do to the rest of my customers? "No. Just put them on, please." I respectfully retorted before I slid to the bed. Put my backpack on the floor and applied a bit of my wolf's aggression rushing at her. Before I jumped on the bed, I shortly took off my clothes until nothing was left but my undies. "Wait." She quickly muttered partly mixed with regrets. To my surprise, she moved her face and pushed my chest a few inches away from her. "Why?" could not help but ask. "Wasn't this what I am here for? To please you?" I said in an embarrassing tone. It was at this moment I sensed her uncomfortable and regretful expression. I did not come here to get embarrassed. My job was to please her. Unless there was something Joseph forgot to inform me. Never expected this to happen. "No... no! It's just…" she suddenly dropped her gaze from me. "It's just. I'm still a virgin. Please, don't get mad at me." I don't know if it was a perfect opportunity for me to burst out laughing when she almost got me on that note. A virgin wanted to have sex with me. Who on earth would sell her virginity to a person wearing a black facemask?

Si Jhai ay ang pinuno ng isang lihim na samahan na tinatawag na Lion Warrior, isang grupo na nagtutuwid ng mga maling katarungan. Maaga siyang naulila matapos mapatay ang kanyang mga magulang sa isang madugong insidente. Bitbit ang pangakong tutuparin ang pangarap ng mga ito, pinili niyang maging high school teacher. Upang mapanatili ang kanyang lihim na pagkakakilanlan, nagpakilala siya bilang si Zhaine, isang weird at old-fashioned na guro. Sa hindi inaasahan, siya ang itinalagang class adviser ng section 12-D—isang klase ng mga outcasts, pasaway, at mga estudyanteng tila wala nang pangarap sa buhay. Isa sa mga estudyante ay si Kenn Singson, anak ng school director. Masungit, matalino, at mailap—katulad ni Zhaine pagdating sa mga taong mahal nila. Bagama’t malamig at puno ng tensyon ang kanilang unang pagkikita, unti-unting nahulog ang loob ni Kenn sa kanyang adviser. At sa pagdaan ng panahon, kahit labag sa patakaran ng paaralan at sa sariling prinsipyo, natutunan ding ibigin ni Zhaine ang binata. Ngunit sa gitna ng unti-unting namumuong pag-ibig, patuloy pa rin ang misyon ni Jhai para makamit ang hustisya para sa kanyang mga magulang. Hanggang sa isang araw, natuklasan niya ang isang nakakagulat na katotohanan: ang taong pumatay sa kanyang ama ay walang iba kundi ang kanyang bagong kaibigan—isang private police inspector na lingid sa lahat ay may itinatagong lihim bilang kalaban ng Lion Warrior. Gumuho ang mundo ni Jhai. Ang paghahangad ng hustisya, sa pagkamatay ng kanyang magulang ang-siyang nagdulot sa kanya, upang siya'y mapahamak at mag-agaw buhay. Makakaligtas kaya si Zhaine sa bingit ng kamatayan? Isusuko ba niya ang Lion Warrior sa kanyang kaaway? handa ba nyang tanggapin ang alok ni Blue magpakasal kapalit ng kaniyang kaligtasan? At paano haharapin ni Kenn ang sakit ng mawalan ng babaeng unang nagturo sa kanyang magmahal—sa paraang kailanma’y hindi niya malilimutan?

"I am a monster, Miss Hart. You wouldn't want nor wish to see me..." He is mysterious and brilliant, wealthy and prominent, but no single soul has seen him in person.

His peculiarity is out of this world, and his beauty is beyond physical. But the Master has demons of his own and is being chased by his brutal past. Suddenly, we've become the reflection of each other's nightmares. I realize that the Master and I are not so different. Is this newly found bond just another uncertain fate that could deepen our wounds, or is it finally going to be our redemption?
