Tabi No Tochu

"Sa tingin mo ba na pipiliin ka ng CEO boss natin? Kagaya ng isang cheap na katulad mo... Na isang assistant lamang niya?" ani sa akin ng pinakamagandang babae sa department nung team dinner namin. Natahimik naman ako dahil sa sinabi nito sa akin at napayuko ako. Mabuti hindi pa dumadating ang asawa ko at hindi niya maririnig ang insulto na sinasabi sa akin. "Look at you. No fashion sense and also a nerd lady... So manang. Ang gusto ng boss natin ay ang mga kagaya namin na fresh at magaganda." Napakamao ako pero nananatili pa rin akong kalmado sa nangyayari ngayon. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ganito sila sa akin. Biglang natahimik ang lahat nang biglang bumukas ang pintuan at napatingin naman ako roon at nakita ko si Nando na kakarating lang. Umupo siya sa upuan niya at katabi niya ang babaeng yun na kinakunot ng noo niya. Napatingin naman siya sa babaeng nasa tabi niya. "Bakit ka nakaupo sa tabi ko?" Natigilan naman ang babae at parang namutla dahil sa malamig na sinabi ng asawa ko. Napatingin naman siya sa akin na kinagulat ko. "Come sit with your husband." Nanlalaki ang mga mata ko habang nakatingin sa asawa ko at bigla namang natahimik ang buong kwarto dahil sa sinabi nito. What the... ****** LMCD22

My husband lies to me about working late on Christmas Day. I know he wants to give me a surprise—I saw a jewelry set worth millions of dollars in his pocket. However, all I receive is the news of him pretending to be Santa Claus as he delivers a gift to his female secretary. She flaunts it on social media. "You're the most precious Christmas gift I've gotten." My husband changes the background photo on his social media to a photo of them together. I smile and like the post. Later, the secretary comes to me and smugly says she's pregnant. Meanwhile, I pull out a diagnosis report verifying that my husband is sterile. "Checkmate!" She visibly panics.

Kailanman hindi ninais ni Frank Alva ng isang asawa— ang tanging gusto niya lang ay ang kanyang mana. Pero napilitan siyang magpakasal dahil sa dying wish ng amang si Don Francesco. Nais ng amang ikasal siya kay Jalene Roxton. Pumayag siya sa kasal pero nakipagkasundo siya kay Jalene na panatilihin niya sa tabi niya ang kasintahan at maghihiwalay sila oras na nasa pangalan na niya ang lahat ng ari-arian ng ama. But one drunken mistake shattered his perfect plan. One night. One heated encounter with his wife. One consequence he never saw coming...

A few weeks before our wedding, Rodney Luther's stepmother, Jessica Flaine, posts a photo on her social media. In the photo, she's wearing the wedding dress I picked out, holding a bouquet of red roses, and shyly leaning toward Rodney, asking for a kiss. The caption reads—"Dreams fulfilled." I don't call Rodney in tears or throw a fit like I used to. I simply like the post and leave a comment. "Screenshot sent to Rodney's father." Not long after, Jessica deletes the post, and Rodney's phone call follows immediately. "Ivana, you're being so petty! The rest of my days belong to you. It's only today that I'm fulfilling a small dream of Jessica's. Hurry up and explain things to my dad! "Come on, be good. I've got a gift for you." A scoff escapes me. "Rodney, do you hear me clearly? Go explain it to your father yourself!"

He is the unchallenged Alpha of the Shadow pack. He crushes my hand, lets his true love drive me to the brink, and forces me to lick wolfsbane from my wounds in the punishment chamber, turning me into the pack's laughingstock. I am the Lunar pack's pawn in a political bonding. After enduring three years of humiliation and clutching enemy intelligence, I overturn his throne during the Moon Ceremony, making him watch helplessly as his beloved betrays him and his pack descends into chaos. Later, he backs down. He abdicates as Alpha and gets down on his knees at the pack's border every day, his voice hoarse from shouting, "I was wrong." I hold a blood-stained dagger, my gaze icy as I say, "Your regret is deadlier than wolfsbane and worth even less than my life." Our bonding is a calculated trap, and revenge is the move I am determined to play. Winning him back no longer matters. This time, I am not turning back. I want nothing but his endless remorse and the chance to break my chains and begin a new life.

Lumaki at nagkaisip si Martina na palagi nang naroon sa kanyang tabi si Jethro. Ayon dito, ay ito raw, at ito lamang, ang tanging lalaking nakalaan para sa kanya. At pinatunayan naman iyon ng binata, hindi lamang sa babaeng iniibig, kundi maging sa mga taong nakapaligid dito. Buong akala ni Martina ay pulos kilig at kaligayahan lamang ang hatid ng pag-ibig. Ngunit, mayroon bang pag-iibigang hindi sinusubok ng mapaglarong tadhana? Paano kung mga taong malalapit sa kanya ang gamitin nitong tauhan sa larong iyon. Kasabay ng pagkatuklas ng isang lihim na magpapabago ng kanilang mundo.

Paghihiganti,iyan lamang ang gusto ni Liam para sa mga taong nagpahirap sa kaniyang mga magulang,hinintay niya ang ilang taon at nagplano upang makapaghiganti sa taong ito na matagal na niyang gustong patayin pero nuong nalaman niyang may anak pala ito ay nagbago ang isip at Plano niya,he blackmailed the man at kapalit ng pananahimik niya ay ay kailangang magpakasal sila ng anak nito,magbabago pa nga ba Ang isip niya kapag tuluyan na niyang nakita ang Babae na kaniyang pakakasalan o habang buhay na niya itong itatali sa kaniyang tabi?

I pushed the door open and saw Giovanna standing there in my silk robe—my gift from Enzo—and wearing my heirloom pendant. She lifted a brow and mocked me, “The robe fits, the pendant’s mine, and you—get out.” I grabbed Enzo, demanding an explanation, but he shoved a fake contract in my face, saying, “You signed it.” “I did not. Stop lying!” I snapped. He snapped at me, “This is family business. You know nothing.” It seemed three years together was nothing but an act. That very night, I ran away to Milan. I had nowhere to go and no one to turn to until Mark showed up out of nowhere. “Don’t be scared,” he said. “I’ve got you. As long as I’m around, no one touches you.” He protected me, and for a moment, I really thought I’d finally found someone I could rely on. However, when we were practicing at the shooting range later, I stared at him. “Why are you helping me?” I asked. “And don’t tell me it’s because of that mess I left behind.” His eyes flickered for a second before he answered, “Just trust me. That’s all you need to do.” Something about the way he said it made my stomach twist. This whole disaster was all one giant setup. And now here I am, gripping a gun, fighting for justice, but am I really avenging myself? Or was I already someone else’s pawn from the very beginning?

There is some marriage that is not faithful. And there is some love that isn't yours. Pinilit ni Shane na takasan at takbuhan nalang ang mga madidilim na parte ng nakaraan at hayaan na lamang iyon na mabaon sa limot. But, Gregory Lopez isn't the person she can't get rid of easily. At alam niya iyon. He is too dangerous and cruel. He is determined to get her back at manatili sa tabi nito. Ngunit ang takot sa mga kasinungalingan at mga lihim na hindi nito kayang ipagtapat sa kanya ay unti-unting nag iiwan ng malaking pader para protektahan ang sarili dito. But for the sake of their marriage. Is Mrs. Shane Lopez can afford to live with her husband— for a second time?
