The Summer Solstice

Nagscroll ako sa reddit ng napadaan ako sa post na naghahanap ng payo. Sabi ng poster na meron siyang HIV pero tinatago ito mula sa kanyang fiancee. Ang post ay merong libong mga like. Naintriga, pinindot ko ito para magbasa pa. Ng dumadaan ako sa mga detalye, napagtanto ko—bakit ang paglalarawan ng fiancee ay pareho ko?

After I am diagnosed with stomach cancer, I ask for some money to buy medicine. I don't want to be in excruciating pain when I die. My three elder brothers rush into the ICU. Andy Lewis—my eldest brother—slaps me hard across my face. He scolds me for ruining his beloved younger sister, Summer Lewis' coming-of-age party. My second brother, Sherman Lewis, calls me a liar. He accuses me of pretending to be sick to swindle money from them. Jimmy Lewis, who is my third brother, calls me useless. He tells me that I deserve to die. My parents, Kenneth Lewis and Autumn Farrow, don't believe that I'm sick. They pin me with looks of contempt and ridicule. "You still haven't stopped that lying habit of yours even though you're all grown up. You even learned how to blackmail us with your death. "If you want to die, do it sooner. It'll spare us from being disgusted when we're forced to look at you day in and day out." I end up dying on the first day of the New Year. Before I breathe my last breath, I send a message to the family group chat. My entire family goes crazy after reading it.

"Huff Huff, who am i? rather what am i?" Blake thought swaddled in moss and mud. Justice, did such a thing exist?. It's a dog bite dog world,the strong remain strong and the weak are being trampled upon. Pathetic. Being weak is pathetic. Hah!!!, this ... this was doomed right from the start. With the devil's grin and longing for the blood of his enemies he let out blood curling screeches. "This isn't over!!!!" He screamed into nothingness. This is story brings you to a world of explicit and realistic romance, it's an coming of age story of great protagonists and their intertwined, buried histories. *WARNING CONTAINS MATURE SCENES!

Si Macie Smith ay kasal kay Edward Fowler ng dalawang taon na—dalawang taon na pagiging housekeeper ni Edward, walang pagod na naging tapat at mapagkumbaba. Dalawang taon ay sapat na para maubos ang bawat butil ng pagmamahal niya kay Edward. Ang kasal nila ay natapos nang bumalik mula sa ibang bansa ang first love ni Edward. Simula ngayon, wala na silang kinalaman sa isa’t isa. Wala na silang utang sa isa’t isa. “Hindi na ako bulag sa pag ibig, Edward. Sa tingin mo ba ay susulyapan pa kita kung nakatayo ka sa harap ko ngayon?” … Pinirmahan ni Edward ang divorce papers, hindi nag aatubili. Alam niya na mahal siya ni Macie ng higit pa sa buhay mismo—paano siya iiwan ni Macie? Hinihintay niya na pagsisihan ni Macie ang lahat—babalik si Macie ng luhaan, nagmamakaawa na tanggapin siya ni Edward. Gayunpaman, napagtanto ni Edward na mukhang seryoso si Macie ngayon. Hindi na mahal ni Macie si Edward. … Noong tumagal, lumabas ang katotohanan, at nabunyag ang nakaraan. Sa huli ay nagkamali si Edward kay Macie noon. Nataranta siya, nagsisisi, at nagmamakaawa kay Macie upang patawarin siya. Gusto niyang makipagbalikan. Sa sobrang irita ni Macie sa ugali ni Edward ay nagpadala siya ng notice na nagsasabi na naghahanap siya ng asawa. Sa sobrang selos ni Edward ay halos mawala siya sa tamang pag iisip. Gusto niyang magsimula muli, ngunit napagtanto niya na hindi man lang siya pasok sa minimum requirements.

Nakatanggap ako ng tawag isang araw bago ang aking kasal. "Miss McPherson, may sumira sa venue mo." Nagmamadali akong pumunta sa hotel nang may pagkalito at nakasalubong ko lang ang isang babaeng winwagayway ang wedding photo ko "You homewrecking skank! Inakit mo ang asawa ko at ginastos mo ang pera niya sa kasal na ito!" Naniwala ang karamihan sa kanya at nagkagulo. Pati ang manager ng hotel ay galit sa akin. "Alam ko nang may mali dito dahil hindi nagpakita ang groom! Hindi ka niya tunay na asawa!" Ang mga tao ay marahas na nagkagulo. Sa kaguluhang iyon, nakunan ako. Sa kasagsagan ng aking galit, tinext ko ang secretary ko: [Kanselahin ang kasal, at sipain si Matteo Brando sa aking kumpanya!] Ang kapal ng mukha niya na itago ang kabit niya gamit ang kayamanan ko! How dare she challenge me! Sisirain ko sila!

Women throw themselves at his feet, yet none have ever caught his eye... until her. Sera Devlin is an enigma behind red velvet curtains. A stripper who doesn’t belong.
