Samuel Hawke

Eloá Vasconcelos sacrificou a própria vida para salvar o Samuel Albuquerque. Como preço, ela perdeu a audição. E no lugar da gratidão, recebeu humilhações e sarcasmo dos amigos dele. Ainda assim, com o risco de nunca mais acordar, decidiu enfrentar uma cirurgia para recuperar a audição. Quando finalmente quis partilhar a alegria da vitória, encontrou apenas uma dor ainda maior: em meio ao álcool e à intimidade, o noivo pronunciou o nome da antiga paixão — Mirela. Nesse instante, ela compreendeu. Seu amor nunca teve resposta. Ferida, mas lúcida, ela escolhe a liberdade. Partiu. Deixou Ravélis, deixou a mansão Albuquerque, deixou Auristela. Deixou ele.

Penelope Rivera's little boy toy, Theodore Schneider, is throwing another tantrum. She slides the divorce papers across the table toward me. "Just sign them for show. It's to keep Teddy happy." I clench the cuff of my suit and nod in silence. I sign my name in one swift stroke. As I'm walking out, I hear one of her girlfriends teasing, "Samuel's way too easygoing. Does he actually do everything you say?" Penelope takes a graceful sip of red wine and smirks. "Wanna bet?" They bet that I will quietly go through with the divorce at the courthouse, even if my eyes are red with tears. Listening their laughter, I rub my thumb over my phone screen and reply to the message I've just received. "Will you marry me?" it says. "I will."

My husband, Malcolm Thorpe, has low sperm motility. After 33 rounds of IVF, I finally got pregnant. On delivery day, I start hemorrhaging, and the medical team calls for an emergency C-section. Malcolm signs the consent form, then rushes straight back to his childhood sweetheart's birthday party. But instead of starting the C-section, the surgeon says, "Ms. Jacobson, the electronic medical record lists you as single. This consent form isn't valid." I stop breathing for a beat. The happy marriage I believe in turns out to be a sham. Later, Mom and Dad rush in and sign the consent for me. But by then, the baby is gone. The asphyxia lasted too long. After surgery, I scrawl my name on the cremation consent with shaking hands, then dial a number without thinking. "Samuel, are you free now? Meet me in front of City Hall."

Nagunaw ang mundo ni Odessa Gabriel nang mahuli niya ang boyfriend na si Samuel na nakikipagtalik sa kaniyang best friend na si Mila. Hindi niya akalain na magagawa siyang lokohin ng kasintahan sa mismo niyang kaibigan, at dahilan pa nito, nagawa niya lang iyon dahil hindi pumapayag ang babae na makipagtalik sa kanya. Lubos na pinahahalagahan ni Odessa ang pagkababae, kaya naman inilalaan niya ang una nilang gabi kapag ikinasal na sila, ngunit hindi nakapaghintay ang nobyo. Dumagdag pa sa problema ni Odessa ang utang ng yumaong ama na kailangan niyang bayaran. Wala siyang pamilya at wala siyang ibang aasahan kundi ang sarili niya. Agad siyang nag-apply bilang sekretarya sa malaking kompanya. Hindi siya nakapagtapos ng kolehiyo, pero likas siyang matalino kaya naman pinalad siya at natanggap. Huli na niyang nalaman na ang boss niya pala ay walang iba kundi si Nicholas Romero, tiyuhin ni Samuel, ang itinuturing ng ama at taong tinitingala ng dating kasintahan. Guwapo, matipuno, at matalino, ngunit mailap sa mga tao si Nicholas. May pumasok na hindi magandang ideya sa isip ni Odessa… Ang akitin si Nicholas. Maganda siya at maganda rin ang katawan kaya naniniwala siyang kaya niya iyon. Alam niyang nilalagay niya sa panganib ang sarili sa gagawin, ngunit desperada siyang makaganti sa dating nobyo. Kaya naman ginawa niya ang lahat upang mapansin ni Nicholas. Madalas na siyang mag-ayos at magsuot ng magagandang damit. Ngunit tila bato ang amo dahil hindi ito nadadala sa mga pang-aakit niya. Pero lahat ay may hangganan, isa na roon ang pagtitimpi ni Nicholas.

"I'm sorry, Anna. I've made a mistake that can never be forgiven." My Alpha mate, Alan Thorne, is drugged with a powerful aphrodisiac—one only a she-wolf's touch can neutralize. His assistant, Leah Hawke, takes advantage and sleeps with him. Alan and I have been bound by a mate bond for eight years. His heartfelt apologies make me believe it is nothing more than a tragic accident. But six months later, everything falls apart. When I hear Alan is caught in a landslide during a business trip, I rush to his side without hesitation. I find him lying in the hospital bed, staring at Leah, guilt weighing heavily in his eyes. "Leah is three months along with my pups. She risked everything to save me, clawing through mud and rocks with bare hands until they were raw and bleeding. "Baby, I swear, you're the one and only Luna. But please... Let me make this right. Let me take care of her until the pups are born." Leah breaks down in tears, pleading, "These pups are innocent. Please don't punish them." At that moment, I feel like the villain tearing a family apart. With bitterness burning in my throat, I rasp, "Alan, you have to choose. Either end our mate bond or banish Leah from the pack." Alan shakes his head, anguish deepening his expression. "I can't break our mate bond, but I also can't turn my back on Leah. That's not who I am." In the end, Leah gives birth to twin pups. The entire pack celebrates, but not me. I already know my time here has come to an end. "Well, Alan, since you can't decide, I'll be the one to vanish from your world."

On the day before the competition, someone knocked me out when I was on the street before locking me up in a cage. For three days and three nights, I was chased around by a ferocious dog that kept biting and attacking me. Because of that, my wounds began leaking pus due to infection. Later on, five rich ladies had me locked up in a room. After chaining me up like a dog, they began tormenting me out of fun. When I finally got rescued, I had suffered from countless fractures. Even my internal organs went out of place from the beatings. My older sister, Claire Bowman, whom I'd been relying on since young, had me sent to the hospital immediately. There, I received a rabies vaccine. Meanwhile, my fiancee, Heather Vega, killed the mutt right in front of me in order to help me exact vengeance. She also stripped those ladies down and put them through a humiliating parade in public. After that, she kicked them off to the slums, where they became playthings for the beggars. But as I was lying on the hospital bed, I accidentally overheard Claire and Heather's conversation. "Do you think Christopher will resent us if he ever finds out that we're the ones who've set the dog and the ladies on him just so we can make Samuel the winner of the competition in order to repay him for his benevolence?" Heather's tone was unusually icy. "Christopher's just a replacement for Samuel. This is his fault for not knowing his place and insisting on fighting over the top spot with Samuel! I'm just teaching him a lesson! "Soon, I'll marry him in order to make it up to him. Then, I'll take care of him for the rest of his life. This is already enough." I did my best to hold my tears back while feeling my heart throb in pain. It turned out that the most important women in my life were also the ones who had ruined my lifelong dream. Since they didn't care about me at all, I chose to abandon them as well.

I was the greediest stand-in in high society, and my motto was simple. As long as cash kept coming, my dignity could take a back seat. For Frederick Jameson, I played the role of his obedient pet, so when his true love accused me of stealing her necklace, I just bowed and apologized. With Samuel York, I served as his lab rat, testing drugs meant for his sweetheart's condition until they left me with a bleeding ulcer. And for Theodore Xander, I acted as a scapegoat, getting pushed out to take the blame of extortion for his crush. They all assumed I was hopelessly in love with them, even forcing me to sign a confession at their joint engagement party. That was when the system's voice chimed in, "Host, the portal home is now open." I wiped the blood from my lips, splashed my wine into their faces, and grinned brightly. "Game over, losers!" Right in front of everyone, I leaped straight into the sea. Later, word spread that the three big shots scoured the entire ocean just to find my body.

In my third month of employment, I realized that my colleagues were calling me an old geezer behind my back. This nickname came from Wanda Stewart’s arrogant and ambitious assistant. I had hit the age of 32, but was still clinging onto the last vestiges of hope of marriage after eight long years of our relationship. I asked Wanda, “Do you know that your subordinates call me an old geezer?” She said without batting an eyelid, “That’s just the way Samuel is. He’s just a straight-talker and he’s just kidding. You’re already 32, are you seriously fussing about this?” She then chuckled, “You two are really alike.” My heart turned cold. Turns out that eight years of my youth were nothing but a joke to her. I turned to leave, resigning from my post and blocking her. Yet, the woman who was always so calm and cool started panicking. “Jansen Graham, please come back to me.”
