Still An Innocent Taylor Swift

Dahil sa mga masasamang nangyari sa buhay ni Adella, napilitan siyang pumasok bilang dancer sa isang club, para lamang mabuhay. Hindi niya akalaing doon niya makikita at makikilala ang iniidolong sikat na surfer na si Apollo Williams. Unang pagtatama pa lamang ng mga mata nila, alam na ni Adella na may kakaiba siyang nararamdaman dito. Ngunit paano siya magugustuhan ng isang tinitingalang taong katulad ni Apollo, gayon ang tingin lamang nito sa kanya ay isang mababang uri ng babae. For him, she was just his whore. Magkakaroon kaya ng katugunan ang nararamdaman ng dalaga patungkol dito? O mananatili na lamang siyang bayarang babae para kay Apollo?

Every tear I shed feeds his ego. Every whimper, his pride. Every bruise he leaves behind, his silent claim over me. He takes me cold. Leaves me ruined. And I wait - quiet, breathless, for the next time he comes back to break me again. He thinks he has me in the palm of his hand. Thinks I’m nothing without him. A fragile wife, meek, obedient. A weakness he never needed. I let him believe it. I never tried to break the illusion. As long as I have his hands on me, As long as his shadows reach for me, That’s enough. But in the dark, daggers roam. And with every sound my heels make, they fall. He still thinks I’m glass, But he hasn’t heard me shatter.

If I don't get a job in the next forty-eight hours I'm going to be forced to go back home. It isn't an option after what I endured to escape. But with my options increasingly limited by the second, I end up at the mercy of a heartless man who doesn't want me. Brooks I want her. It's why I can't hire her. She's innocent and too damn naive to be in my vicinity. But she is the only one even remotely interested in something more than my name. She is also the first one who makes me want to consider giving it to her...

On the night of Halloween, my best friend, Mina Corvelle, rushes to save the black cat before me, triumph dancing in her eyes. That is when I, Elora Aldridge, realize that she has been reincarnated, too. In my past life, she scorned the stray for being filthy, so she kept her distance. So, it was I who took pity on the cat and rescued it. When I walked past an old blind woman manning a roadside stall, she told me that the cat was a rare dark fortune cat. Once it recognized a master, it would draw dark riches from all directions and bring unimaginable wealth. I dismissed it as superstition. Yet, the very next day, I was inexplicably promoted to director of the department. Soon after, my family's dilapidated old house found itself part of a redevelopment scheme, and we were given compensation of eight apartments and 30 million dollars in cash. Even the enigmatic golden boy of Lakeshire, Cassian Mercer, started to pursue me relentlessly, declaring that he would only marry me and no one else. But not long after I married Cassian, Mina trapped me—and the black cat—inside the apartment. She then set it on fire, burning us alive. Outside the inferno, she screamed, "Why should you get everything without even lifting a finger? All those riches should've been mine!" When I open my eyes again, I find myself back at the very intersection.

Smut Alert: This book contains steamy, explicit scenes, filthy rich men, and one heroine caught between them all. Proceed if you like it hot. He was the golden boy who broke her, denied her, and humiliated her, and she left for LA, carrying the one secret that could ruin him. Now she’s back in NewYork, hotter, richer, and ready to make him pay. But she never planned on his brothers. One wants to protect her, one wants to corrupt her, and one wants to own her. They’re dangerous, filthy rich, and completely off-limits… but when all three set their sights on her, revenge turns into something else. And the closer she gets to destroying them, the more she wants to let them pin her to the wall and fuck her senseless.

Five years had gone by since my death. The cops called my mom and told her they got news about me. My mother and brother marched to my grandmother's home and kicked her door down. "Where's Charlie? That shameless woman has been hiding from us far too long. Her brother needs her cornea, and she's giving it to him!" "Charlie's dead," said my grandmother, sobbing. My mother sneered. "As if. The cops called us. They said they had her news. Hand her over or get out of the house, you hag." My grandmother looked at her daughter, tears streaming down her cheeks. With trembling hands, she took my photo out. "I wonder if you've ever regretted saving your brother, Charlie."
