Second Life Seventeen

Sarah Genard – Karli Anders’ best friend and fellow blogger. Three years earlier, she made a rash decision that left her with a tattered heart. While she acts like her life is going exactly as she planned it, she secretly longs to reconnect with that one special man, someone she genuinely loved - not just in body, but also in mind, heart, and soul. Tim Fresco - Jordan Baker’s friend and co-worker who has sworn off women after a runaway bride left him standing alone and emotionally gutted at the altar. The mere thought of Sarah Genard both intrigues and terrifies him. Only he can decide whether to let fear keep him lonely or follow his heart and reach out for her - again.

Claire has had a crushed on her best friend's dad, Rawls, since she was sixteen years old. Now that she is all grown up, she wants it to be so much more. Does she take the chance and tell him how she feels? Or does she just sit in her window and dream about him.

Para sa mga taong, minsan ng nagparaya para sa pagkakaibigan, sa mga taong minsan ng nagpalaya para sa ikabubuti ng lahat.Ito ay kwento ng isang teenage girl na minsan ng nakalimot sa kaniyang nakaraan. Ikinasal sa kababatang lalaki, sa edad na labing siyam. Makikilala niyang muli ang lalaking minsan ng nagkaroon ng malaking parte, sa kaniyang nakaraan. Mapapalapit muli ito sa pangalawang pagkakataon, na siya namang pag-iiba ng pakikitungo at trato sa kaniya ng naturang asawa.Darating ang panahon na malalaman at maalala niyang muli ang nakaraan. Gustuhin man niyang magalit at kamuhian ang mga taong malapit sa kaniya, dahil mistulang pinaglaruan siya ni kapalaran. Napunta siya sa taong minsan ng nagparaya para sa pagkakaibigan, napalapit siyang muli sa taong minsan na niyang minahal at ipinaglaban.Pilitin man niyang talikuran ang lahat, at kalimutan ang nakaraan, ngunit pipiliin niya paring yakapin at harapin ang kasalukuyan, sa ngalan ng pag-ibig, sa huli mananaig padin ang pagmamahal at pagpapatawad.

My husband's childhood sweetheart kills my parents in an accident due to drunk driving. I want to call the police, but my husband blindfolds me and takes me to the cellar. I'm tormented and subjected to inhumane treatment for the next three years. After each torture session, an icy male voice will ring out in my ear. "Do you still hate her, Sabrina?" One day, I finally cave and submit to the icy voice. "No, I don't. I don't hate her anymore!" I hear my husband's joyous laughter on the other end of the line. On the day he welcomes me out of the cellar, I avoid his embrace. Yet he loses his mind when I ask him for a divorce.

I was the second princess of the Phoenix Court. And I fell in love with a lowly black serpent. In my past life, just to be with him, I purposely picked that black serpent during the Sacred Bonding ceremony when we each chose our companion beasts. After that, we spent every night together. I didn't care what the whole clan thought. I was determined to marry him. But on our wedding day, that same serpent I'd given my heart to drove an arrow straight through me, killing me while I was three months pregnant. As I lay dying, I heard him hiss bitterly in my ear, "If it weren't for you, I'd have been with Seraphine by now. You should've died a long time ago." That's when I finally got it. All he cared about was power. And he'd been in love with my older sister all along—the sister who was next in line for the Phoenix throne. When I opened my eyes again, we were back at that same moment—the Sacred Bonding ceremony. Before everyone, he dropped to his knees and confessed he loved my sister. He begged not to be bound to me. The whole clan looked at me with pity. But I only smiled and pointed to a small white serpent resting quietly off to the side. That black serpent thought clinging to my sister would make him powerful. What he didn't realize was that only the one I chose would become the true heir to the Phoenix Court.

"Will you let me love you, my scarlet wolf?" After fleeing her former marriage a bruised and battered woman, Scarlett's only desire is to keep her daughter safe. She plans to take them to a quiet place, as far from her abusive mate as she can get, but it doesn't take long for her to cross paths with Roman Collins, Alpha of the Ironclaw pack. A man who seems to despise her. Since nothing is binding them together she feels she will be free of him soon enough, but the moon goddess has other plans, and she'll find out that if she thought running from one Alpha mate was hard, running from another is even harder! To what lengths will Scarlett go to protect her child? What will she do when she realizes the bond she shares with this other male? And what will she do to the mate who beat her on a daily basis and has now sworn he will never stop until he gets her back? Roman never wears his emotions on his face, but the feelings he has for Scarlett are ones he cannot deny nor ignore. With both of them scarred from past experiences, will they be able to overcome their pain and be together, or will the mates and the past they run from catch up to them?

Alpha bilang pinakamataas, Beta bilang normal, at Omega naman bilang pinakamababa. Nang nadiskubre ng mga tao ang ikalawang sekswalidad (secondary sexuality), ito na ang naging basehan nila ng estado sa buhay. Nang matuklasan ni Nikko na isang siyang omega, pinakamababang secondary sexuality, nawalan na siya ng tiwala sa ibang tao. Alam niya ang trato ng mga tao sa mga kauri niya kaya naman pakiramdam niya ay lahat ng mga tao ay pinagbabalakan siya ng masama. Ang tanging tao na pinagkakatiwalaan lamang niya ay ang matalik na kaibigan niyang si Pier - isang alpha. Bilang isang alpha at omega, manatili pa rin kaya ang pagkakaibigan nila sa oras na magsimula na ang problema nila tungkol sa ikalawang sekswalidad nila? O may mas malalim pa na koneksyon na mabubuo sa pagitan nilang dalawa?

My sister had always despised school. So when she suddenly declared she wanted to go to college—and even urged our parents to marry me off to a high-ranking officer's son to fund her studies—I knew at once: she had been reborn too. In our previous life, my sister believed studying was pointless. She barely graduated high school before marrying Anthony Brown, the officer's son who had come to propose with a pretty penny. However, when Anthony was later transferred to a remote outpost, she found the harsh conditions unbearable and refused to follow him. Meanwhile, I worked part-time jobs to put myself through college, landed a secure job after graduation, and became a full-fledged city resident. My sister, still living in the military compound, started using her father-in-law's name to take bribes. Her actions dragged him into a scandal and got him dismissed from his position. Eventually, my mother-in-law kicked her out. After the divorce, she was tricked into investing in stocks in Eastbridge City. The market crashed, and she lost all of our parents' retirement savings. Desperate and with nowhere to go, she turned to me. Cornering me with a knife, she demanded I hand over my savings and apartment so she could "start over." In the chaos, she stabbed me twelve times. I died from massive blood loss. When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the moment she asked our parents to marry me off to Anthony. This time, I smiled, said yes—and dropped out of school that very day.

Princess Camellia Arventia was rejected and mistreated by Emperor Donovan Arventia and Crown Prince Theodore Arventia throughout her life. Born to a consort, she lost her mother shortly after birth and grew up isolated in her palace. Forgotten by everyone, Camellia was used as a fax machine, doing charity work just to improve the image of the imperial family, believing that if she fulfilled her role well, she would be accepted by her family. Camellia ends up getting involved with the Grand Duke of the Empire, the Emperor's cousin, William Valois, who is constantly being sent to war by the Imperial family. On discovering the Emperor's plans to assassinate the Grand Duke, Camellia tries to warn him, but her efforts are in vain and she ends up being accused of treason, tortured, and executed. "Benevolent, you say, glorious empire, you say." I opened my eyes, anger completely overwhelming me at that moment. "My only sin was believing that one day I would be recognized by a family that had always planned my destruction." I freed myself from the executioner's grip, standing up and turning towards the box, where the imperial family watched in shock. "I curse the imperial family and if there is a goddess in this pig-infested world, may she grant me the gift of coming back from the dead and destroying each one of you!" His last request was to take revenge. Will Enora, the goddess of the Arventia empire, grant him this wish?
