The Time Machine Novels & Stories

Si Lia Cruz ay isang pangalang kayang patahimikin ang buong fashion industry—isang babaeng binuo ang sariling mundo mula sa talento, disiplina, at katahimikan. Matapos ang isang masakit na diborsyo, iniwan niya hindi lang ang isang lalaki, kundi ang buhay na unti-unting kumain sa kanya. Akala niya, ang pag-alis ay sapat na para maging malaya. Akala niya, tapos na ang lahat. Si Adrian Serano ay hindi sanay matalo. Isang makapangyarihang billionaire CEO, sanay sa kontrol, at pag-angkin. Para sa kanya, ang pagkawala ni Lia ay hindi wakas—isa lamang itong pagkaantala. Ang mga bagay na minsan nang naging kanya ay hindi niya hinahayaang manatiling alaala lamang. “I want you to be mine again—this time, you’ll live by my rules.” Sa pagbabalik ni Adrian, muling nagising ang mundong pilit tinakasan ni Lia. Hindi ito paghingi ng tawad. Isa itong pagbabalik na may layunin. Handa siyang gamitin ang kapangyarihan, impluwensya, at ang sariling dilim na matagal niyang itinago upang bawiin ang babaeng minsan niyang nawala—at igapos muli ang mundong pinili nitong talikuran. Isang laban kung saan ang pagmamahal ay muling aangkinin, o tuluyang malulunod sa galit at tensyong matagal nang namuo—mga sugat na hindi na kailanman maibabalik.

“Cum for me and be a good girl.” "Then make me, Roigie. Or are you only a commander when I’m already yours?" Roigie is used to being in total control—he’s a Villarreal, it’s in his DNA. When he gives a command like that, he expects absolute submission. He’s using his dominance to mask the fact that he’s actually obsessed with Aria. But Aria? She’s a rebel. She knows that the only thing Rogie wants more than her obedience is her reaction. By challenging him to make her, she’s flipping the script and making him work for the control he craves. Even though they’re at each other's throats, there’s this toxic, possessive energy. Aria is thinking, “If I’m going to be a good girl, it’s only for you”. She hates that she wants him, especially since she’s hiding the pregnancy, but she’d rather be under his command than anywhere near Luigi. While Roigie is busy trying to command her in the bedroom, Luigi is outside waiting to ruin it all. That’s the irony of the love triangle—Roigie is so focused on winning the war inside their marriage that he doesn't see Luigi playing a dirty game with their reputation. Every time Aria submits or fights back, she’s also trying to distract Roigie so he doesn't feel the shapewear or notice her morning sickness. She's playing a lethal game to keep her heart and her secret safe.
