The Red Sleeve

"Walang magmamahal sa 'yo, Anna!" 3 sa pamilya ni Jared Mendez, kabilang ang pinakamamahal nitong ina ang namatay dahil sa isang pagkakamali ni Anna, ten years ago. Ang galit na yon, dinala ni Jared sa matagal na panahon. Kaya nang makakita ito ng pagkakataong gumanti sa kanya, inakala niya na buhay niya ang hihinging kapalit.  Pero hindi. "Be my bedmate if you want to save Catherine’s life. I will shoulder her medical bills and your organization will be funded." Kapit sa patalim, tinanggap niya ang offer at inangkin siya ni Jared sa ibabaw mismo ng table nito. Hindi lang yon, isinama siya nito pabalik sa bayan nila sa San Luis kung saan maraming tao ang  nagtatangka sa buhay niya. Sabagay, ano ba ang inaasahan niya sa lalaking nagpayaman nang husto para lang gawing miserable ang kanyang buhay? ************* Simula't sapul, pangit ang reputasyon ni Anna, alam yon ni Jared. Baliw lang ang lalaking gugustuhin ito dahil mas malala pa yon sa suicide. She's a ruthless seducer, a killer and the Lady Boss of an organized crime syndicate. Pero bakit sa kabila ng lahat, wala siyang ibang pinangarap sa gitna ng kama niya at makakasama sa  buhay niya kundi si Anna? Posible bang sa kabila ng matinding galit, ang totoo ay mahal niya ito gaya nang pagkabaliw niya dito noon? May lugar ba ang pagpapatawad sa mga taong nahubuhay sa matinding galit, kawalang pag asa at paghihiganti?

I had just returned from a business trip. The moment I stepped through the door, I scooped my wife into my arms and rushed her straight to the bathroom for a steamy shower together. We were kissing passionately when, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed something: the toilet seat was flipped up. I froze. Seven years ago, my wife had read a post online claiming that when men pee standing up, bacteria splash onto the seat. She begged me to sit down to pee for the sake of her health. I have kept that promise. For seven years of marriage, that seat has never been up. A knot formed in my stomach, but the bathroom was spotless, so clean it looked staged, not a single stray hair anywhere. Then I noticed the shower temperature. It was set five degrees lower than her usual 43°C. Men like cooler showers. Women like them hotter… At that moment, I knew, Ruby Lynch had cheated on me.

After six years with Joel, Lyra landed in the hospital—sick and drained. The day she got discharged, she caught something in the hallway she wasn't supposed to hear. "Joel Fenwick, are you out of your mind? You gave Lyra's bone marrow to Renee without telling her? You knew her health was trash and lied about it being a stomach issue just to make her do it?" Renee. Joel's childhood flame. The girl he never got over. Lyra didn't cry. Didn't freak out. She just picked up the phone, called her parents overseas, and said yes to an arranged marriage with the Windsors.

Jace knew Grace was his mate, but she was weak, and he couldn't risk being bonded to her. He rejects her after finding her with an omega male. She leaves, and his heart goes with her. When they meet again, can they ignore the pull. Can he get her back? Will he earn her forgiveness, or will they just stay apart.

I never expected to be taken. Varek is everything I've been taught to fear: cold, ruthless, a conqueror who destroys anyone in his path. But when he grabs me, drags me away, I realize I have no choice but to go. If I want to protect my kingdom, I have to submit to him. He's relentless, and the heat between us is undeniable. He's not just after my kingdom-he wants me, and there's nothing I can do to stop it. His eyes burn into mine, like he knows every weakness, every desire I've been hiding from myself. I hate him for what he's done, for who he is. But with every touch, every glance, I feel my walls start to crumble. I can't let him break me, but I don't know how much longer I can resist.

After my father-in-law, Oswald Leyton, is diagnosed with a complicated form of heart disease, I rush to Germasia for an intensive training on the most advanced medical technique just so that I can operate on him and treat his condition. When I return home after the training three months later, I gleefully find my husband, Nicholas Leyton, to tell him about the good news that I have mastered the technique. The plane lands. However, the luxury car that should have come for me turns out to be a broken-down van instead. Someone throws a sack over my head, and I can hear Nicholas' cold laughter next to me. "Did you have lots of fun with your boytoy overseas for the last three months, Victoria Rosewood?" After he and a few other men force themselves on me multiple times, Nicholas slides open the door, planning to abandon me in the wilderness. "Nicholas! You can't do this to me! I'm pregnant…" I try to explain myself, throwing myself at him despite all the cuts and bruises on my body. However, Nicholas gets even angrier after hearing that and forcefully shoves me aside. I feel an excruciating pain coming from my lower abdomen. Warm, sticky blood starts flowing down my thighs. Then, my vision blacks out, and I lose consciousness altogether.

On my 22nd birthday, my uncle Scott discovered my diary. After he found out about my secret love for him, he sent me overseas. He then spent hundreds of thousands, marrying the love of his life.

The temperature starts to drop once we reach the top of the mountain. My two childhood friends, who swore to protect me with their lives, don't even spare me a glance. One is hastily wrapping all his clothes around Lisette Locke, while the other is warming her with his body. I'm so cold that my heart condition acts up; I beg them to save me. However, they're infuriated by this. "How can you still be trying to get our attention at a time like this, Cecilia? Run around for a while if you're cold!" "We'll buy you that white down jacket you wanted when we get back, but you can't take it from Lise now!" The rescue team arrives, and I barely make it out alive. I'm hospitalized for a week, but neither of them come to visit me. I see from my social media that they're busy celebrating Lisette's birthday. We've been friends for over a decade, yet I mean nothing when compared to the driver's daughter. I call my father and say, "Dad, "I'm willing to marry into the Jorgensen family!"
