Subalit Meaning

Si Azriel Dela Vega, isang bilyonaryo sa edad na 35, ay nakatuon sa pagpapayaman at pagpapalago ng kanyang kompanya. Tatlong taon na ang nakalipas mula nang pumasok siya sa isang contract marriage kay Zephyrine Rivera, isang maganda at sopistikadang babae na naghahangad din ng kapangyarihan sa negosyo. Sa kabila ng kanilang contract marriage, mayroon si Zephyrine na lihim na itinatago. Siya ay may Multiple Personality Disorder, isang sakit sa pag-iisip kung saan siya ay may alter personality na nagngangalang Zaraeah. Dalawang pagkatao sa iisang katawan na magkaibang magkaiba ng ugali at paraan ng pamumuhay. Ngunit sa likod ng kanilang kasunduang kasal, si Zephyrine ay may pagtingin sa kanyang kababata at Psychiatrist na si Aiden at batid ito ni Azriel subalit wala syang pakialam dahil wala naman syang nararamdaman sa kanyang asawa. Malapit na ring matapos ang kanilang kontrata sa kasal, ngunit isang pangyayari ang magbabago ng lahat. Makikilala ni Azriel si Zaraeah. Maaakit siya sa kanyang maamong mga mata at ang mga ngiting kahalihalina. Ibang-iba siya kay Zephyrine, na dominante at ambisyosa. Upang maitago ang kanyang sakit, nagpanggap si Zaraeah na kambal ni Zephyrine. Dahil dito, naging malapit sila ni Azriel, at sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon, nahulog ang loob ni Azriel kay Zaraeah. Ang pag-ibig na ito ang unang pagkakataon na nakaramdam siya ng ganito, at nag-obses siya sa babaeng kanyang minamahal. Ngunit ano ang mangyayari kapag nalaman ni Azriel ang katotohanan tungkol sa sakit ni Zephyrine? Paano kung malaman niyang isang imahinasyon lamang ang babaeng minamahal niya? Ano ang mangyayari sa kanilang relasyon kung malaman niya na dalawang magkaibang puso ang tumitibok sa iisang katawan? Ano ang kayang gawin ni Azriel para sa babaeng kanyang pinakamamahal at kanyang obsesyon?

" YOLO " is her life motto. Sa edad na bente tres anyos, walang ginawa si Devon Valencia kundi ang magpakasaya sa buhay at waldasin ang perang ibinibigay sa kaniya ng ama. Wala siyang pangarap sa buhay—o kung mayroon man, hindi niya iyon alam at wala rin siyang balak alamin dahil alam niyang siya rin naman ang hahawak sa negosyo ng pamilya nila pagdating ng araw. Young, wild and free. Literal ang pagiging malaya ng isang Devon Valencia para gawin ang lahat ng gusto niya. Sa isang pitik lang ng daliri niya, nasa kamay na niya ang hinahangad niyang makuha, maliban na lamang ang atensyon ng isang binatang kabaliktaran ng ugaling mayroon siya. Isang maginoo,responsable at matipunong lalaki, Pablo Santino Regalado. Isang magsasaka na ang tanging hangad ay maiahon sa hirap ang kaniyang magulang. Sa edad na bente sais, naka-plano na ang gusto niyang mangyari sa buhay dahil maaga siyang namulat kung gaano kalupit ang realidad. Nakahanda siyang gawin ang lahat maibigay lang ang buhay na ipinangako niya sa pamilya. Ngunit sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon, nagkaroon ng pagtatalo ang isip niya nang alukin siya ng isang trabaho na may magandang suweldo at wala siyang ibang gagawin kundi ang bumuntot sa magiging amo niya. Kung tutuusin, walang nakikitang problema ang binata sa pagiging isang bodyguard dahil batak naman ang kaniyang katawan at nakasisiguro siyang kaya niyang gampanan nang maayos ang trabahong ibinibigay sa kaniya. Subalit 'yong ideya na isang matapobre ang dalagang babantayan niya, tila mas gugustuhin pa niyang makasama ang mga kalabaw na ilalim ng araw. Kapag binato ka ng tinapay, batuhin mo ng palaman. Kapag nahulog ka sa taong hindi nagpapakita ng interes sa'yo, siguraduhing may bitbit kang hagdan.

Sa ikalawang taon ng kanyang kasal, natuklasan ni Isabel na siya ay nagdadalang-tao. Labis ang kanyang tuwa, umaasa na ang kanilang magiging anak ang magpapatibay sa kanilang marupok na relasyon ni Allen, ang kanyang asawa. Ngunit sa likod ng kanyang kaligayahan ay may takot—alam niyang ang puso ni Allen ay para kay Victoria, ang babaeng hindi niya kayang kalimutan. Sa kabila nito, umaasa si Isabel na magbabago ang lahat dahil sa kanilang anak. Ngunit naglaho ang kanyang pag-asa nang mangyari ang isang malagim na aksidente. Malubhang nasugatan si Isabel at desperadong nakiusap kay Allen na iligtas ang kanilang anak. Subalit, tinalikuran siya ni Allen at pinili si Victoria, iniwan si Isabel sa kanyang sariling kapalaran. Habang lumalayo si Allen, parang pinipiga ang puso ni Isabel sa sakit. Kumalat ang balita sa Laoag tungkol kay Allen Alvarez, isang lalaking lumubog sa matinding pagsisisi. Ang pangalan ni Isabel Fajardo-Alvarez ay naging simbolo ng hindi maipaliwanag na kalungkutan at pighati, at walang sinuman ang naglakas-loob na banggitin ito sa harap ni Allen. Pagkalipas ng ilang taon, nakilala ni Isabel si Luis Mendoza, isang mayamang mamamayan ng Laoag at nag-iisang tagapagmana ng kanilang pamilya. Mabait si Luis at inalagaan si Isabel, tinuring ding parang sariling anak ang bata. Sa paglipas ng panahon, ipinakilala ni Luis si Isabel sa kanilang business partners, kasama ang pamilya nina Allen. Sa gitna ng isang masayang pagtitipon, biglang nagwala si Allen, lumuhod sa harap ni Isabel, ang kanyang mga mata’y pulang-pula at puno ng pighati. "Isabel, comeback to me... I’m begging for your forgiveness" aniya, humihingi ng kapatawaran, umaasang maibabalik pa ang dati nilang pagsasama. Mapatawad kaya siya ni Isabel o mananatili nalang alaala ang kanilang pagsasama?

SMUT WARNING!! : This book isn't sweet romance. It's filthy, raw and unapologetically dark. Expect: *Three brothers who don’t know the meaning of gentle.* *A heroine who moans even when she swears she won’t.* *Fingers, tongues, and c*cks where she least expects them.* ~~~♠~~~ “Spread wider, Angel,” Zane growled against my ear, his fingers ruthless between my thighs. Ziven's c*ck shoved deep down my throat, hot, thick and massive. “Right there. Open up and take it like the filthy tease you've been." And behind me, Zarek drove into me deeper, pounding and claiming every inch. “Feel that? Dripping wet. Doesn’t matter how hard I pound—she’ll still take more. She’s fucking built for it. Our c*cks.” I begged desperately— clenching, gushing, and trembling through every thrust and claim. I never thought I'd crave this— three brothers who claimed me, ruined me, and made me beg for more. But I do. God, I do. My name is Zayla Everly Hollis. I died the night I married Lugard Blade. He broke me and killed me. But fate brought me back. Given a second chance, I ran. Straight into the arms of the three most powerful men in Chicago. THE MADDOX BROTHERS. ZIVEN. Commanding, brilliant, and dangerous with a keyboard. ZAREK. Cold, ruthless, and sharp as glass. ZANE. Charming, wicked, and heartbreak in human form. They offered me safety. Then they became my obsession. Now they’re my only protection from the monster I once called husband. But with three billionaires wanting one broken girl, hearts will shatter. And when the past comes knocking… I’ll have to choose between revenge—and the triplets who made me feel alive again.

Michele Giuliani successfully takes the throne as the leader of the mafia forces in Costa Morala. During an interview, a reporter asks, "According to our observations, you've never concealed or removed the old alphabetic tattoo below your collarbone. Does that mean it has a special meaning to you?" Michele shakes his head with a sneer. "Five years ago, my fiancee, Alma Rossito, looked down on me because the Giulianis had lost their power and authority among the families. So, she ran off to be with another rich man. "Whenever I wanted to give up, I'd be reminded of her betrayal as soon as I laid my eyes on this tattoo. "Now that I've lasted this long, I just want to personally ask her a question." Michele digs out his phone and dials the number he has pinned at the top of his contact list without hesitation. "Alma, do you regret dumping my ass the moment I was kicked out of my family?" I turn the camera toward the chaotic underground casino and reply lazily, "Yeah, I regret doing that to you, Don Giuliani. But I've lost every cent under my name on horse-betting. Can you transfer 50 thousand dollars to me first so that I can earn my money back?" Michele ends the call instantly before punching the mirror next to him. The cracks in the mirror happen to reflect the dark tattoo beneath his collar. What Michele doesn't know is that I'm being held in the casino by loan sharks. Five years ago, I had taken out a huge loan from them and bribed the necessary connections as an anonymous party. That was how Michele got the opportunity to turn the tides in his favor and become the mafia king.

"Call me sir." He demanded."What?" I heard it correct yet asked again to make sure did I hear correct? "Don't your thick head get things at once?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows without moving his gaze from mine. No way I am going to call him sir. Thick head! It's the second time he told that. What does he think of himself?I cleared my throat and spoke. "Firstly, I'm not going to call you sir. I'm not your slave to do so. And secondly, I don't have a thick head." I protested. "Slave? Seeing a word by its abbreviation." He quirked a brow. "Your thick head has a little knowledge in it." This time he inched more close while the corner of his perfect shifted to a smirk. Move back, Mister!"Yes, I do see a word by its meaning," I said, trying not to fall in his gaze. (S.I.R = Slave - I - Remain) He got closer and closer and stooped near my ear while keeping his hands on the table, either side of me.

I can't let this happen.'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I am either drown into the deep green sea or flew up into the bright blue sky, for sure I was lost in his blue-green eyes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time marched by days into months and months into a year. Everything in my life has changed but one thing remains the same. Years ago I would've never pictured my life the way it is now.

"Do not run, my female. Face my fire. I promise it won't burn you but bring pleasure of... all kinds." He whispers hoarsely his pink tongue sensually caressing his moist plump lower lip, he is hungry for my flesh for my body. "Please let me go." I plead with him a faint whine leaving my lips. He shakes his head in denial a wicked devil's grin on his face. "If you run, I will take it that you want me to hunt you. If I find you after, I will gobble you up." He speaks with a deep aroused growl his eyes keenly studying my ample heaving breasts and my exposed trembling thighs. "Have mercy." I whimper knowing I will be mercilessly eaten by him.

After being forced to marry a man she didn’t know to save her father’s business, Cassandra thought her life would change. But it didn’t. The marriage was married on paper that meaning nothing. After she married, she was still allowed to continue living as she wished. A year after her marriage, Cassie applied for a job at a big company that brought many changes to her life. That was when she discovered that her boss was a cold-blooded mafia who killed with his bare hands—the worst man she had ever met. Their first encounter happened when she accidentally walked into her boss’s room and caught him having sex with a woman. And to her shock, her boss turned out to be her husband—the man who hadn’t shown up on their wedding day. *** “Cassandra Ainsley Floyd?” Chris repeated the name, then looked up to see the woman standing in front of his desk. “Yes, Sir." “Are you married?” The question slipped freely from his lips as he waited for an answer. “No, Sir. I’m not married.” Her answer broke the silence between them. “Alright, you’re hired, Miss Floyd. Starting tomorrow, you’ll work as my secretary. Come in tomorrow morning, and my personal assistant will show you what you need to do.” As soon as Cassandra walked out of his office, Chris called his trusted person impatiently. “Yes, Christ?” “Do you still have my wife’s information? I’ve forgotten her name, but as long I remember, her last name is Floyd, isn’t she? I think she just applied for a job at my company without knowing I’m her husband. Interestingly, it seems she has a special relationship with my cousin.”
