Uncle Mark Long Way Down

Nauwi sa isang gabing pagkalimot ang dapat sana'y pagpapalipas lamang ng sama ng loob ni Margaux dahil sa sakit na dulot ng kanyang kasintahan. Ngunit ano ang gagawin niya kung malalaman niyang ang lalaki pa lang nakakuha ng kanyang iniingatang pagkabirhen ay uncle pala ng kasintahan?

"Hector, totoo ang sinabi ko sayo. Gusto kong magka-in love-an tayo, at magkasama nang seryoso, tulad ng magkasintahan, mula sa pagiging estranghero hanggang sa magkaintindihan tayo. Gusto kong maranasan yung pakiramdam na pantay tayo. Ikaw si Hector, bilang si Hector na asawa ko at hindi tiyuhin ng ibang tao, at ako si Anne bilang si Anne na asawa mo at hindi kasintahan ng ibang tao. Mag-ipon tayo ng mga alaala, isang taon, dalawang taon, tatlong taon, sampung taon, kung okay lang sayo?" Inabot ako ni Hector at hinila para umupo sa kanyang kandungan, at sinabi nang mahinahon "Okay, pero, love, wala akong karanasan, kailangan mo akong turuan pa. Pero..." Hindi ko alam kung sinasadya ni Hector na biglang huminto at hinaplos ang kaniyang maiinit na labi sa gilid ng aking mukha "Pero... Pagdating sa pagkahulog, dapat ang lalaki ang mag-initiate. Maghintay ka lang, susuyuin kita."

(Trigger warning: this book has some elements of dark romance with an unhinged ML) "Would you give me your surname or better take mine then? Will you be the lucky man?" I blurted out having no idea of what I was saying. My head was already in the clouds and blinded by his smile. It calmed the storm in my mind. He laughed. Those dark abysses were truly alluring when they sparkled. His fingers grazed my cheeks, wiping off my tears, before cupping them in his callous palms. "If you love my surname so much." A foolish smile graced my lips, oblivious of the fact that he wasn't joking. "You can't back down now, hubby. You just got a wife." I thought I lost everything when I walked away from Sinclair.

Selene Davies was heartbroken when Sunny Dale humiliated and dumped her on her 20th birthday. She felt that she had done everything right in their relationship, and couldn’t tell where things went wrong. After all, she was raised by her mother to be a lady; prim and proper. That night, she gave in to her wildest desires and threw herself into the warm arms of Declan Grayson, the personification of wealth and power. Selene reckoned that there was nothing wrong with letting herself loose and having a great night. However, what if her fling wasn't just a decade older than her but also turned out to be her step-uncle? Well, he was nothing but a fling, no strings attached, or so she thought. Regret was an understatement when she learned that Declan didn't only take her first, but also publicized their affair. He portrayed her as a slut who gave sexual favors for a measly screen time. Now, she has the black market drug, ecstasy in her system, and when it’s effects kick in at random times, she either gets laid quickly or kicks the bucket.

Selene suddenly spotted a full-grown man lying beside her, “Hey, who the fu*k are you? And why are you in my bed?” Declan only smiled beautifully, a coy smirk lacing his lips. "Take a look around, sweetheart. You. Are. In. My. Bed!” His deep baritone voice sounded in her ear, stirring emotions she swore never to entertain again, or just maybe she never really felt that way before...

"Lisa?" I croaked, barely able to form words, my voice hoarse and weak. My heart had leapt at the sight of her, a moment of hope flickering through the haze of fear. "What's going on? Why... why are you here?" But the look in her eyes, the cold amusement that twisted her lips into a smirk, had stopped me short. It wasn’t concern. “Why am I here?” she had repeated, laughing softly, as if the very question was absurd. “Oh, Anna, sweet, naive Anna. You still don’t get it, do you?” I had stared, my mind unable to keep up, still too clouded with hunger and exhaustion. “What... what are you talking about?” And then, her voice had changed, hardened. “I’m the reason for all of this. The reason your father’s company collapsed, the reason your family is dead, the reason Josh betrayed you. Me.” After discovering that her best friend, Lisa, isn't the person she thought she was and is the reason for most of the disasters in her life, Anna dies, only to wake up five years in the past. With a second chance, Anna is determined to protect her loved ones and take revenge for the pain Lisa caused.
