Stop Dreaming Start Doing Artinya

My twin sister died on her 18th birthday. She died of respiratory failure in a dark corner of a hotel after being raped. Her dearest friend, Joanne Lowe, whom she always cared for and supported, turned around and anonymously spread photos of my sister being raped. I then slowly ruined the face which had so badly wanted to replace my sister with a knife. With blood everywhere, I cradled Joanne's face as if it were a piece of art and said, "My beloved sister is gone, and you people who harmed her won't be let off so easily."

Ang kasal ay isang sagradong seremonyas para sa dalawang nag-iibigan… Ngunit sa loob ng apat na taong pagsasama, ni minsan ay hindi naramdaman ni Zia na itinuring siyang kabiyak ni Louie. Kung tutuusin ay para siyang bagay na napapakinabangan lang kung kailangan ngunit hindi naman magawang pahalagahan. Isang ibong nasa hawla na hindi kayang kumawala. Lahat ng sakit at hirap ay tiniis ni Zia dahil mahal niya ang asawa. Kahit pa ibang babae ang kinahuhumalingan nito. Hanggang isang gabi, habang malakas ang buhos ng ulan ay iniwan siya ni Louie para puntahan si Bea sa ibang bansa. Mag-isa at nahihirapan habang dumadaloy pababa ang dugo mula sa pagitan ng kanyang hita. Ginapang niya ang sakit makahingi lang ng tulong para sa batang kanyang ipinagbubuntis. Makalipas ang tatlong taon, sa muli niyang pagbabalik ay malaki ang ipinagbago ni Zia… Ngunit hindi si Louie. “Hiwalay na tayo, Mr. Rodriguez!” Napangisi ito. “Mrs. Zia Cruz… Rodriguez, hindi ko pa pinipirmahan ang divorce papers. Sa madaling salita… asawa pa rin kita at hinding-hindi ka na makakawala pa sa’kin.”

“Love.” “Boobae.” “Jes?..” It feels like a reunion for Nick, George, Scarlett, and Jessica. After five years, muli silang nagkita. Ngunit sa pagkakataong ito, para silang estrangherong apat. Pare-parehong kumunot ang noo nina Nick, George, at Scarlett nang titigan nila ang babaeng kamukhang-kamukha ni Jessica. She is not Jessica, bulong nila sa sarili. Ibang-iba siya sa Jessica na kilala nila. Ang babaeng nasa harap nila ay isang sophisticated woman with a strong aura. The way she dresses, halos nipple na lang ang natatakpan. Malayong-malayo sa dating Jessica. Hindi ganito si Jessica. Mahinhin siya, mahiyain, mabait, maunawain. Pero ang babae sa harap nila ngayon ay puno ng kumpiyansa sa sarili. Ang isang titig pa lang niya ay parang kutsilyong gustong dumurog sa'yo. Yes, gano’n na gano’n ang kanyang aura. Matapang. Hindi nagpapa-api. Ang pag-asa ng tatlong magkakaibigan ay tila naglaho. Dahil si Audrey Castellan ay hindi kailanman magiging si Jessica. Ang pinakamamahal nilang si Jessica… ay limang taon nang patay. Maghihilom na kaya ang puso nilang sugatan mula sa matinding pagsisisi sa sarili, sa muling paglitaw ng isang babaeng kamukhang-kamukha ni Jessica? May pag-asa bang muling liliwanag ang madilim nilang mundo… dahil kay Audrey Castellan? Malalaman natin 'yan sa Book 2 ng Unstoppable Desire: Revelation and Road to Happiness.

I followed an account of a couple that was not very popular but was very sweet. The account recorded every detail of the account owner and her boyfriend. They would argue over a plate of pasta and then look at each other and smile, playfully calling the other person a child at heart. They would hug tightly under the starry sky on a mountain top and say that they wished time could stop at this moment. Although the account owner never showed her face, I was still touched by her captions. The account was updated again the day before I was getting married. [Ten years of love ends here. From now on, he's just her husband, and I'm just her best friend. This account will no longer be updated. I wish my best friend and her beloved man a happy ever after.] The photo showed my fiancé, Josh Clark, and me, taken from behind.

My husband and I go on a road trip back to my hometown before Christmas. I want to ride shotgun, but he chases me to the backseat so his female colleague can sit in front. He says, "Isabel gets carsick easily. You are my wife, so you should be more considerate of her." He seems to have forgotten that I'm pregnant—my morning sickness is at its peak. Halfway through the journey, he and Isabel Slater start smoking. They make me throw up. The smell disgusts them, and my husband wants to teach me a lesson. He and Isabel leave me at the rest stop. Unbeknownst to them, my family is already waiting there. This time, I'm going back with them and getting an abortion and divorce. Later, my husband is filled with regret when he learns the child is gone.

All along, I've been following a social media account that's dedicated to a couple sharing about their romance. It doesn't have a lot of followers, but the posts are all very heartwarming. The owner of the account records all the little details about his relationship with his girlfriend. They get into arguments over a plate of pasta before breaking into laughter and calling each other an overgrown child. They climb up the hill to hold each other under the sky full of stars, wishing they could make time pause at that very moment. Even though the owner of the account never reveals his face, I am always moved by the words he writes. The day before my wedding, the owner uploads a new post. "This marks the end of our ten-year relationship. From now on, she'll be his wife, and I'll only be his friend. There won't be any more updates to this account. I wish nothing but the best for my best friend and the woman he loves the most." The picture uploaded with this caption is one of my fiancee and me, taken from behind.

~"Why is the best fruit always forbidden?"~ Alecander Blackford is that perfect Alpha blessed with the face of an angel but cursed with overbearing parents who would not stop tailing after his ass. After he runs away from the pack to stay at his aunt’s house, he did not expect that he would meet his mate who turned out to be more than he had expected and everything he was not. Soft, caring with a touch of defensive instincts, Elristeya Larsen is just that girl who has two parents that were in love since forever and a brother who would do anything to make her frustrated. When she meets her brother’s new best friend, it turned out to be the Asshole that had slammed the door in her face, Alec. She was undeniably captivated by his hypnotic orbs and the way he looked like everything a human was not. Like a different breed. Alec’s entire plan to stay away from her as far as he could begins to fall flat right before his own eyes. No matter how he tried to ignore her, like a moth to a flame he was attracted to her. When circumstances fell into place, they slowly began to get closer, creating more connection and strengthening the bond between them. Elristeya soon realized that Alec was no prince charming of hers but her beautiful downfall. Her perfect nemesis. Her flawless damnation. Theirs was the mate bond that was never supposed to be formed. Forbidden right from their births and when they try to fight against the fate that binds them, ugly and haunting secrets, capable of ruining them both and those they cherished, from the past are unleashed, threatening the soul bond they shared.

“I, Castiel Vexthorn, hereby reject you…” His voice cut through the room like a blade, each word dripping with venom. “What is your name?” He didn’t even know my name. The humiliation hit harder than the rejection itself. I met his gaze—those cold, storm-gray eyes that seemed carved from granite. “Estelle Frost.” I kept my voice steady, refusing to let him see me falter. “I reject you, Estelle Frost!” His words thundered in the air, the weight of the mate bond snapping inside me like a brittle twig. **** They called him a cursed king. He called her a mistake. A weakness. When pack healer Estelle Frost accompanies her Alpha to a summit of Alphas, she expects nothing more than long hours tending to warriors and ignoring the sting of her fiancé’s betrayal. One night. One drink too many. One bed she should never have fallen into… and she wakes beside Castiel Alaric Vexthorn, the feared Alpha King who despises humans. The next morning, he discovers she is his fated mate and rejects her without mercy. But fate is not so easily severed. Because weeks later, Estelle learns she’s carrying the heirs of the very man who swore he’d never want her. And the cursed Alpha King will burn the world to claim what he’s just thrown away. *** “I should hate you, Dove. Heck, I want to but…” His storm gray eyes looked into mine and slowly, ever slowly, he leaned closer and captured my lips. I gasped, my hands flying to hold onto his broad chest. He seized the moment to slide his tongue through my lips and I let out a tiny moan. The kiss wasn't gentle. It was demanding. Possessive and filled with want.

All her life, she has loved only one person and that was him, Nathaniel Hale. The one who had chosen her to be his Luna before everyone's eyes and had made her believe she would find rest in him except it was all wrong. Tears flowed down her face as he dropped the divorce papers before her. "Sign it, Maurene and leave!" She knew it was coming because his childhood friend, Amanda was back. Picking the divorce papers, she signed it and left only to find out she was now carrying not one but three children that belonged to Nathaniel! Circumstances bring them together again and she is forced to live with her ex-alpha mate. Will Maurene give in to be deceived one more time or will she accept another man's hand to save her?
