"Akin ka lang, Ninang Ruth! Walang ibang magmamay-ari sa’yo kundi ako!" Ramdam ko ang panginginig ng kanyang kamay habang hinawakan ko ito. Nanlilisik ang mga mata ko, puno ng pagnanasa at pag-angkin. Pero sa halip na matakot, marahan lang siyang ngumiti—isang ngiting may halong pangamba… at pagnanasa rin. "Wag ako, Ace," mahinahon niyang tugon, pilit tinatago ang emosyon sa kanyang tinig. "I’m older than you. I’m thirty… habang ikaw, twenty-five pa lang." Ngunit sino bang makakapigil sa puso? Ako si Ace Pattern, dalawampu’t limang taong gulang, isang business tycoon na sanay makuha ang gusto. Lahat ng gusto ko… maliban sa kanya. Si Ninang Ruth. Ang babaeng pinagbabawal mahalin. Ang babaeng dapat kong irespeto, pero mas gusto kong angkinin. Masama bang magmahal sa isang Ninang? Sabi nila, mas masarap daw ang bawal. At ngayong naranasan ko na siya… handa akong sirain ang lahat — kahit ang sarili kong pagkatao —mapasaakin lang siya.

Três meses antes do divórcio, ela protocolou o pedido de transferência no trabalho. Um mês antes do divórcio, enviou os papéis de divórcio para o Ricardo pelo correio. Nos últimos três dias antes do divórcio, arrumou todas as suas coisas e se mudou da casa onde viveram juntos. ... Seis anos de relacionamento chegaram ao fim no momento em que Ricardo apareceu na frente dela com sua paixão antiga e o filho dela, deixando a criança chamá-lo de "papai". Foi aí que ela caiu na real. Já que ele sempre a fez engolir sapo e se humilhar por causa daquela mulher e do filho dela, como se ela fosse a amante que tinha que se esconder nas sombras, então que fosse. Ela ia acabar com esse casamento de uma vez e deixar o caminho livre para ele ficar com o amor da vida dele. Mas quando ela realmente sumiu do mundo dele, o cara pirou de vez. Ela achava que o Ricardo finalmente ia conseguir se casar com a mulher que sempre amou, mas não fazia ideia de que esse homem poderoso ia aparecer na televisão, de olhos vermelhos, implorando como um coitado pelo amor dela: — Eu não traí e muito menos tenho filho por aí. Eu só tenho uma esposa que não me quer mais. O nome dela é Luana, e eu estou morrendo de saudade dela!

I was born to shine. But the fate had others plans for me. The moment my feet left the edge, the world fell silent. There was only wind. And peace. For one fragile heartbeat, I was free. Like a bird. Then something slammed into me from behind. Arms. Hard. Unforgiving. The impact hurled me sideways instead of down. Wood splintered. Something inside me cracked. Darkness rushed in and I welcomed it. … “Open. Your. Eyes.” The voice was quiet, slow, deliberate. It forced its way through bone and blood. An Alpha command. Pain detonated through me as air tore back into my lungs. My body convulsed against my will. I tried to sink back into the quiet—to finish what I had started. “You were NEVER given permission to die.” Power wrapped around the words like chains. My eyes snapped open. We were beyond the pack’s borders. The air felt colder. Wilder. Untouched by law or duty. For one second, I had belonged to nothing. And he had dragged me back. He loomed above me, fury carved into every sharp angle of his face. His breathing was controlled, his posture dominant - absolute. If anyone were watching from the cliffs, they would see an Alpha asserting ownership. His jaw tightened, irritated at being forced to deal with something that should have already been resolved. I had complicated his plans. “Drink.” His wrist pressed my mouth. The metallic scent hit first. I tried to clamp my lips shut. But Alpha commands do not ask. They take. My mouth opened against my will and his blood burned down my throat, spreading heat through my chest. A cruel gift. He would not even grant me the mercy of dying on my own terms. And I understood - even my death did not belong to me.

I had been sneaking around behind my brother’s back with Eden Smith, his best friend's brother. He pulled me close by the waist and drove us wild in all kinds of places. At bars, in the wild, and in even empty public restrooms, he was always eager for more. It was like unlocking new levels in a game. He was five years younger than me. He always called my name in his pitiful and innocent tone while gripping my waist with renewed vigor. He never let me escape. “L-let me go!”

[Is it wrong to fall in love with someone who already belongs to another?] One day, a post I stumbled upon caught my eye. The most liked comment was a brazen boast from a self-proclaimed mistress: [Dating isn't marriage. If you can steal the heart of someone taken, you deserve to keep it. If they don't love their partner enough to stay loyal, their partner is the real outsider in the relationship.] [I took my husband from another woman. He was just a broke college student back then, but I knew who he really was. He's the only son of the country's wealthiest man!] [His ex only knew how to study and work. She had no idea how to keep a man. How unfortunate! I heard she never even got her diploma. Her life must be miserable now.] I stared at the comment for a long time because I recognized the woman who wrote it. Her name was Camila. She was talking about me. Miserable? I was now a famous attorney, renowned for never having lost a case, and I had also adopted a sweet daughter. My life was anything but 'miserable'. I blocked the author of the comment and assumed our paths would never cross again. However, fate had other ideas. While taking my daughter for her passport application, I ran into some people from my past in the most dramatic way possible. Camila used her position to make things difficult for me. My ex-boyfriend Alexander stood by her side and even threatened me, phone in hand. "Apologize to my wife, or I'll have my father hire that so-called 'Victory Queen'. We'll sue you until you lose everything!" I smiled and said, "Go ahead and call that lawyer." The next second, my phone rang.

Paano kung isang araw, malaman mo na lang na mawawala ka na pala, hindi ba sobrang sakit noon para sa'yo? Paano kung sa panahon na iyon, hindi mo inaasahang makilala ang lalaking magpapatibok ng puso mo, na biglang magbibigay saya sa buhay mo nang hindi mo alam? Why would God give you someone when all you think is wala na talagang pag-asa ang buhay mo dahil sa maraming kamalasan ang natatanggap mo simula noon pa man?
