Tali Bra

Hindi naging madali ang buhay ni Cataleya Lorenzo. Lumaki siyang walang ina at ang tanging pamilya niya ay ang ama niyang palaging abala pero kailanma’y hindi siya pinabayaan. Sa Amerika siya nagkaisip, malayo sa mundong tunay niyang pinagmulan. Pagbalik niya sa Pilipinas, isang linggo pa lang ang lumilipas nang ipakilala sa kanya ng ama ang matalik nitong kaibigan—si Santino Rosales. Matagal na niyang naririnig ang pangalang iyon, pero hindi siya handa sa kung anong klaseng presensya ang sasalubong sa kanya. Walang nabanggit ang ama niya tungkol sa lalaking may tinging kayang tumagos sa laman, tinig na malamig pero nakakakuryente, at lakas ng loob na hindi mo puwedeng bale-walain. Si Santino Rosales ay isang kilalang propesor, negosyante, at taong hindi basta nalalapitan. Pero habang tumatagal, lalong nahuhulog si Santino sa bitag ng sarili niyang damdamin. At nang biglang bawian ng buhay ang ama niya sa isang aksidente, naiwan siyang walang mapuntahan kundi ang bahay ni Santino. Sa huling hiling ng ama niya, ito na ang magiging tagapangalaga niya. Ngunit sa bawat araw na magkasama sila, sa bawat tahimik na gabing sila lang ang naroroon, mas lalong humihigpit ang tali ng damdaming hindi dapat umusbong. Anong gagawin niya kung ang nag-iisa niyang tagapagtanggol ay siya ring lalaking unti-unting bumibihag sa puso niya?

Ia diberikan anugrah dengan wajah yang cantik. Namun, cantik itu membawa luka. Cobaan silih berganti menghampirinya, mulai dari akan dijual kepada seorang pengusaha kaya, pemalsuan kematian, penyiksaan, hingga beberapa kali mengalami pelecehan seksual. Untuk mempertahankan hidup, ia dipaksa untuk mengganti seluruh identitasnya.  Cahaya jingga terakhir baru saja lenyap digulung malam ketika kapal SS Voorwaarts mulai berlayar. Hari itu, Leonidas Damian Castex dan Leentje Lieberman melepaskan kepergian sahabatnya di dermaga Tanjung Priok menuju Suriname. Sebuah perjalanan yang akan mengubah dunia Maximilian, dan seorang tahanan bernama Dara. Mereka acap kali berselisih. Namun, lelaki kaukasia itu selalu ada untuk Dara saat dalam masalah.  Rasa sakit meremas-remas tepat pada jantung Dara, ia meninggalkan sebagian jiwanya di perairan Batavia. "Nanti aku akan pulang," lirihnya. Jauh dari lautan yang membawa Dara dan Maximilian berlayar. Seorang lelaki berdiri di tepi hutan lebat, ia menantang orang-orang orang yang telah menghancurkan keluarganya. Lelaki itu berdiri dengan gagah dan siap menyerang. Saat melihat Ananta yang notabene mantan tunangan adiknya, timbul sebentuk rasa jijik. Dendam dan kemarahan melingkupi tubuhnya, perlahan-lahan dari kepala sampai kaki. Ia merasakan seakan darahnya mendidih. Tangan kanannya diberati senjata laras panjang dengan tali kulit yang menjuntai ke tanah. "Tuhan, hari ini aku melanggar sumpahku. Aku akan membunuh setiap orang yang sudah menghancurkan keluargku,  jika Engkau ingin membakarku di neraka, maka bakarlah!"

"I am going to have some fun. He said, and he started pulling at my shirt, causing me to panic. "Don't touch me," I said "Don't touch my sister," Lilly added, and she ran toward him, but he pushed her so hard she fell into the cell wall. "Lilly," Poppy and I screamed at the same time. Damen tore my shirt off, revealing my bra, but I wasn't going to give up so easily. I kicked him where the sun didn't shine, causing him to groan in pain. "You bitch," Damen said before he pushed me to the ground. "Rose," Poppy said "I was going to take it easy on you, but since you want to be difficult, I changed my mind," Damen said. He got on top and I tried to kick him again but he woudln't let me. "That won't work this time," Damen said, and then he punched me in my face so hard my vision became blurry. "Beloved!" Was the last thing I heard before darkness consumed me

Dalawang taon matapos ang kaniyang perpektong kasal, akala ni Chloe Valdez ay natagpuan na niya ang lalaking mamahalin niya habambuhay. Pero isang papel ang tuluyang gumiba sa lahat ng iyon. The marriage certificate she once cherished… was fake. Gulat at sakit ang naramdaman ni Chloe, lalo na nang malamang ang lalaking minahal niya ng anim na taon, si James Alcantara, ay matagal na palang may ibang asawa. Ang mas masakit pa, ang asawa nito ay ang kanilang guro na anim na taon ang tanda sa kanya. What’s worse? The child she thought they’d lost? It wasn’t Chloe’s to begin with. Hindi lang pala siya naging panakip-butas, kundi napagbintangan pa siyang baog at inangkin pa ang anak ng tunay na mag-asawa. “Wala akong asawa. Wala akong anak. At ako ang magmamana ng lahat,” malamig na wika ni Chloe habang pinuputol ang huling tali sa pusong minsang ibinigay niya nang buo. Everyone thought she’d run away. But Chloe stayed. Quietly, strategically, with revenge wrapped in her grace. Akala ni James, babalik si Chloe. Akala niya, mapipilit pa niyang ayusin ang nasirang kasal. Hanggang isang araw, nakita niya si Chloe sa balita. Ngunit hindi na siya ang babaeng iniwan at sinaktan niya noon. Siya na ngayon ang babaeng pinagkakaguluhan ng buong bansa. Mayaman, makapangyarihan, at nakatayo sa tabi ng isang lalaking nasa tuktok ng kapangyarihan.

…....I grabbed my bra, grabbed my heels, and ran before he could open his eyes and speak. I don’t want to hear it. I already knew what he'd say: “Please don’t tell my wife.” He doesn’t need to beg. I won’t tell her. I was never going to. But that doesn’t make this feel any better. ************************** Lana's life is turned upside down after a drunk one-night stand with her best friend’s husband leaves her pregnant.

He calls himself my guardian. But I want him to call me a good girl. I moved in after my mother died. He opened the door — broad chest, deep voice, eyes that stalled when they dropped to my tits. He tried to be decent. Tried to be safe. But I’ve been wet for him since day one. He’s twice my age. Raised my half-sister. Taught her to say “Dad” like it was gospel. But I know what she really wants. I see the way she watches him. The way she watches me when I bend over the kitchen counter, tank top riding up, no bra in sight. This house is full of secrets, soaked sheets, and girls who know better. He pretends not to want it. She pretends she’s not touching herself at night. And me? I leave the door open and let them both fall apart. Because I don’t want to be loved. I want to be used. Ruined. Claimed in every room until they forget who’s the daughter, who’s the guest, and who’s in charge. He raised her. He took me in. But — who’s he going to fuck first?

"The cold-hearted CEO who scares everyone is afraid of losing me?" Grace uttered, her gaze lingering on Evelyn's lips. "Yes, I'm. You don't need to continue your job, you can join my company, Grace." Evelyn cupped her cheeks, slowly taking her lips into a sensual and passionate kiss, pouring all her feelings and love into that kiss. Grace shortly responded to her kiss. "Pearl... That's what they... call me," she moaned loudly when Evelyn unfastened the hook of her bra and caressed her breasts while showering hot kisses all over her shoulders and breasts. "You're my Grace, only mine," Evelyn said between the kisses and pulled that little black panty off her body which was hardly covering her ass. Grace couldn't protest the desires and gave in. The tiny pieces of clothes were the costume of Grace, she was a hot and sexy pole dancer who was famous as 'Pearl'. The way she moved around the pole so skillfully, always made Evelyn feel wet and hot. Until this night, she never dared to come to Grace's room but tonight she was drunk and she wanted nothing but Grace. Maybe after one night with this pole dancer, she would be able to pull her off her mind. It was just a one-night stand for Evelyn but what will happen when she'll offer a job to Grace to become her private dancer?

No momento da explosão no laboratório, meu namorado, Gustavo Sena, correu desesperado... Mas não até mim. Ele correu até Lívia Cardoso, que estava distante do centro da explosão, e a protegeu com o próprio corpo. Quando o barulho cessou, ele a levou imediatamente ao hospital, nos braços. Nem sequer olhou para mim, caída no chão, coberta de sangue. Aquela garota que ele criou e cuidou por dezoito anos preenchia completamente seu coração. Não havia mais espaço para mim. Meus colegas me levaram ao hospital. Sobrevivi por pouco. Depois de sair da UTI, com os olhos ainda inchados de tanto chorar, liguei para meu orientador: — Professor Luís, eu pensei bem e tomei uma decisão. Aceito ir com você para o projeto de pesquisa confidencial. Mesmo que a viagem seja em um mês, e eu não possa ter contato com ninguém por cinco anos... Está tudo bem. Em um mês, eu me casaria e realizaria um sonho que eu alimentava há muito tempo. Mas agora... Eu já não quero mais.
