The Power Of Letting Go

Pinagkatiwalaan. Minahal. Pero tinraydor. Gumuho ang mundo ni Dari nang mahuli niyang magkasama sa kama ang kanyang asawa at kakambal. Sa sakit at galit, tumakas siya sa gabing puno ng dalamhati—at natagpuan ang sarili sa bisig ng isang estranghero. Si David Kranleigh, isang bilyonaryong CEO. Isang gabing dapat ay malimutan. Pero hindi iyon basta nawala. Sa pagtatangkang magsimulang muli, isang trahedya ang tuluyang sumira sa kanya—isang aksidenteng nagdulot ng kanyang pagkabulag. Wala nang saysay ang lahat. Hanggang sa muntik na siyang sumuko… at isang pamilyar na tinig ang pumigil sa kanya. Si David. Hindi siya nito nakalimutan. At sa pagkakataong ito, hindi na siya nito hahayaang mawala. Upang iligtas siya mula sa mga traydor, pineke ni David ang kanyang pagkamatay at dinala siya sa Australia para magpagamot. Limang taon ang lumipas. Ngayon, hindi na siya ang dating Dari Wilson. Bumalik siya sa mismong anibersaryo ng kanyang pekeng pagkamatay—hindi bilang biktima, kundi bilang isang babaeng uhaw sa hustisya. Sisirain niya ang mga taong sumira sa kanya. Babawiin niya ang lahat ng ninakaw sa kanya. Ngunit isang sagabal ang hindi niya inaasahan—si David. Ang lalaking hindi sumuko sa kanya. Ang lalaking handang ipaglaban siya. Pero kaya ba niyang pigilan ang galit ni Dari? Sa laban ng pag-ibig at paghihiganti, sino ang mananalo?

"I will personally take her life—after she births my successor!” I heard the Alpha's words clearly, and at that moment I ran as fast as I could. I knew I was nothing but a vessel, a slave he bought to gave birth to his heir. What was I even expecting from him? Why do I even expect love from him? Was I really going to just let him end me? With a heavy and broken heart, I hugged onto my growing belly, the alpha's baby that I was carrying. No. There had to be a way out of this castle. I would make an escape from this pack, and ditch this pack for my baby and my freedom!

"We are enemies." "That doesn't stop me from possessing you." He breathed and every word he whispered later on sent chills down my spine, "You are mine, Amara. From the pale blonde strands of your hair to your faded nail-polished toes. Every breath you take is mine. Not excluding the freckles dusting your cheeks to the pimples on your face. Your misery is mine, which I shall bring upon you myself. From your giggles to your random nonsensical chatter, I own them! Your darn strawberry moments are mine. Every drop of blood that flows through your veins belongs to me and so does your last breath when I snuff life out of you, watching as your pretty green eyes lose their shine and your heartbeat goes dull beneath my palm." His hand traveled to my neck, fingers lacing around it, and he squeezed a bit, "Who do you belong to?" He asked capturing my ear lobe between his lips and I shivered. "Myself and you can't have me!"

My husband’s friend’s widow uploaded a picture of her pregnancy report.

Jake immediately called me to yell at me. “She’s a widow and is living alone. All she wants is to have a baby to keep her company and give her life a little more cheer.

This is called friendship, don’t you understand?!” Soon, Henry’s widow uploaded a photo of a loft apartment. [Thank goodness you’re by my side to let me experience the warmth of a family again.] When I saw Jake busying himself in the kitchen in the photo, I thought it was time to end the marriage.
