Severing Charm Hogwarts Legacy

"F-Fine," she said and squeezed her eyes shut. "I'll do it." To keep her job and pay her nephew's hospital bills, Evelyn agreed to a one night stand with a casino client. In the dim corridor with red lights, someone grabbed her waist, the evil chuckle hot against her ear. No. She didn't want this. That smelly man! She didn't want him! There was a door right before her and she squinted her eyes. What did it say? The wordings looked too long to be the 'exit'. "Stay still," the man growled behind her and started to pull her away. "That's the presidential suite. Our room is right-" She elbowed him with all her strength that he yelped and let go of her. Panic set in her heart as she ran to the exit room right in front of her. She grabbed the door handle and was about to push it open when it was suddenly yanked open. Evelyn lost her footing and fell face first into a hard brick! What kind of wall was warm and smelled so sweet, enough to keep her temperature cool?

"Ma, ano ba? Pagod na pagod na akong maging sunud-sunuran sa inyo! Sa buong buhay ko, wala akong ibang ginawa kundi sundin ang lahat ng utos at nais ninyo. Bakit ngayon, isang hiling ko lang, bakit ayaw niyo akong pagbigyan?" Hindi ko na mapigilang umiyak, ang sakit sobra. Anak niya ako, bakit kailangan niyang magdesisyon na ako dapat? Isang malakas na sampal na naman ang natanggap ko galing sa kanya, na hindi ko na ikinagulat pa. Sanay na ako sa pananakit niya simula noong bata pa ako hanggang ngayon, na 23 years old na ako, lalong lalo na pag hindi ko sundin ang gusto niyang mangyari. "How dare you na sagutin ako ng ganyan? Ako ang bumuhay sa'yo kaya ako ang magdedesisyon. Kaya wala kang karapatan na kalabanin ang nais ko!" Inis na sigaw niya sa akin, kulang na lang sabunutan niya ako. "Ma, mali naman kasi kayo, ayaw ko pa pong magpakasal. Ipakasal niyo ako nang hindi niyo man lang ako tinatanong? Ma, please babalik na lang ako ng Paris," pagmamakaawa ko, ngunit tanging titig lamang ang pinupukol niya sa akin at walang bakas na naawa ito sa akin. Bakit, Ma? "Enough!" Isang malakas na sampal ulit ang natamo ko sa kabilang pisngi ko na ikinabagsak ko sa sahig. "Belphoebe Sinclair, sa gusto mo o hindi, magpapakasal ka sa lalaking 'yun." Parang echo ang boses niya na paulit-ulit sa tenga ko. Bakit ganun? Pakiramdam ko, parang ginawa akong bayad sa hindi ko alam na utang. Ano ba ang kasalanan ko? Bakit kailangan ipakasal ako sa taong hindi ko kilala at hindi ko naman mahal.

"Marry me," he said, his deep voice with a hint of command. "Are you talking to me?" Mia asked, her eyes darting around the exclusive office, then her nose flared up in disbelief. "You're sick! The nerves you have to abduct me here. And this?" "You owe me," his grey eyes bore into hers, his hands tucked in his suit pants. Mia glared at him, "I'll never marry you Xavier Singh.

CÉLESTE Alors que je pensais que la déesse de la lune m’avait enfin bénie avec un compagnon, il m’a rejetée devant toute la meute, sans aucun remords. Le cœur brisé et triste, j’ai cherché du réconfort dans un bar où j’ai rencontré un beau loup mâle prêt à m’offrir son corps. Tout allait bien, jusqu’à ce que je confonde la chambre du loup mâle avec une autre et que je me retrouve dans l’antre de deux loups mâles robustes. Nous avons passé une nuit agréable, que je n’oublierai jamais. Quand la réalité m’a frappée, ma belle-mère m’a vendue à un Alpha robuste, connu sous le nom de Diable de Ravencourt. En arrivant à la meute de mon nouveau maître, j'ai rencontré ses fils et il s'est avéré qu'il s'agissait des deux loups mâles costauds avec qui j'avais eu une aventure d'un soir. Mais ce n'était pas assez choquant : mon loup, silencieux depuis quelques jours, s'est réveillé en les voyant, hurlant « Mon compagnon ! ». J'étais mortifiée !

“Kamu sadar, Lily! Sadar sebagai ibu pengganti bagi anakku, itu sama saja meneken kontrak kalau kamu milikku! Meski hanya setahun. Aku membayarmu untuk itu.” Lily diam, jantungnya saat ini akan meledak. Mau tidak mau, Lily menuruti Axel. Lily mulai menarik tangan Axel agar lelaki itu bisa duduk dengan tenang. Tetapi gagal, Axel tidak bisa menegakkan badan. “Kau harus lebih berusaha, Lily,” perkataan Axel yang begini mirip ledekan. Wajahnya juga menyebalkan saat ini.

Meninggalkan Axel, dan lelaki itu sangat sebal ditinggalkan seperti itu oleh Bree. “Bree ... Bree,” rutuk Axel sambil tertawa konyol. Sementara kausnya belum bisa terpakai, karena Lily kesulitan mengangkat kepala Axel. Axel, menangkap tangan Lily, menaruhnya di dadanya yang bidang. Wajah Lily merona, hangat. Namun, sekujur tubuhnya panas dan dingin. “Lily ...” panggil Axel dengan lirih, tangan Axel yang bebas membelai wajah Lily. “Maaf, tuan aku harus pulang,” ucapnya. Axel malah menarik Lily ke dalam pelukannya. “Kau temani saja saya di sini. Apakah kau tahu kalau sesungguhnya kau sangat cantik, murni dan tulus.” Lily menganggap kalau Axel sedang membual karena sedang mabuk. Jadi, wanita itu mengangkat wajahnya. Menatap Axel tajam. Andai saja, Axel sedang tidak mabuk malam ini. Jarak wajah Lily dan Axel hanya dua senti. Mata Axel berkilat, kepalanya dia majukan, mengikis jarak yang memang sudah sangat dekat.

"Spread your legs, little omega slut," he said to me. "I am sorry, there are rules here, sir. We do not sleep with customers here." "Who made those rules?" he asked, whirling the wine in his glass. "The owner of this place," I replied, irritated by all the unnecessary questions. "Who is the owner of this place?" "Mr. Killian Cabello." I replied tersely. This man was arrogant and wanted to defile the rules to show me he could do whatever he wanted. He took out a card from his pocket and handed it to me. "I usually do not give out my card to the likes of you but look at it." I looked at the card and saw his name written boldly on it. He was the owner of this place. He made those rules and is willing to break them now? My eyes widened at the realization. I looked at him. "You are Killian Cabello?" He smirked devilishly. "Now, spread your legs, Omega."
