Vessels Of Honor Kjv

My father was critically ill. I begged my fiancé to keep his post-wedding promise—to withdraw emergency funds from the medical trust fund he had sworn to protect me forever. He refused. The next day, he announced his engagement to Pera. Overnight, I became the laughingstock of everyone. In my deepest despair, my childhood friend Seamus— The heir to a long-established Mafia family— Knelt down in the park and proposed to me in front of everyone. That night, he transferred a large sum of money to my account. I said yes without hesitation and rushed to the hospital to pay for my father's treatment. But he never woke up again. The hospital said he had suffered "unexpected complications." Everything after that—the lawyers, the funeral, all the arrangements—was handled by Seamus. Under the Mafia family's protection, everything went smoothly, and my father was able to be quietly buried. The wedding proceeded as planned. Years later, I overheard a conversation between him and the doctor who treated my father. “Seamus,” the doctor said in a low voice, “You tampered with the organ allocation priority list. You delayed Shirley’s father’s transplant so that Pera’s father could receive an organ transplant in time. You falsified the urgency level. Do you know what will happen if this is exposed?” “The list itself was legal,” Seamus replied after a pause. “I just…adjusted the urgency level.” “You committed medical fraud,” the doctor said sharply. “You ruined his only chance to live. All for Pera. Don’t you regret it?” “I don’t regret it,” Seamus answered without hesitation. “I would do anything for her. Even my life, even the honor of the Mafia family.” “Throughout our marriage, I’ve been trying to make up for everything I owed Shirley. That should be enough.” My vision blurred. Only then did I finally understand— The woman he truly loved was always Pera. "If that's really the case," I thought numbly,"Then I should leave."

Sa isang pustahan ng mag inang Ellicia Guevara at Ellara Guevara nagsimula ang lahat. Hinamon ni Ellara ang kanyang ina sa isang pustahan, alang-alang sa panandaliang kalayaan na mahalin at paibigin si Gabriel Zerosa. Pumayag naman ang Ginang sa gusto ng dalaga ngunit kaakibat noon ang ilang rules. That once she lose the bet, babalik siya sa kanila at paninindigan ang pagiging tagapagmana. Sinimulan ni Ellara ang planong paglapit kay Gabriel kasabay ng pagtalikod sa kanyang tunay nakatauhan. From a rich, popular and happy go lucky girl. Nag-transform si Ellara bilang masunurin at mabait na babae sa paningin ni Gabriel. Nagawa ni Ellara na hindi lang basta makalapit sa lalaki kundi manatili na rin sa piling nito. Wherever Gabriel goes, Ellars is always beside her. Kahit na magmukhang desperada Ellara never leave his side. On Gabriel’s birthday, Ellara knew na talo na siya. To make things seems right. She acted the way she used to be. Pero may mga taong matalim ang dila lalo na sa ikakasira at ikakasakit ng damdamin ng iba. Nagkaroon ng pagkukumpara ang iba hanggang sa nadawit na ang pangalan ni Ellara kaya nararamdaman ng babae na dapat niyang ibangon ang kanyang dignidad. “Minsan na akong na talo. I won’t allow you again to defeat me.” Out of nowhere, as a random but smooth revenge in-announce ni Ellara na engage na siya sa anak ng isa sa pinakamayamang angkan sa italya na walang iba kundi si Hector Lombardi na isa sa guest of honor ng event. Agad umahon ang mga haka-haka, walang sino man ang nakakita sa binatang binanggit ni Ellara. Dahil ilang ulit man itong imbatahan wala itong pinaunlakan. Ngunit sa isang iglap dumating ang lalaki claiming Ellara as his fiancee. Nagbago lahat sa paligid kahit si Gabriel ay hindi makapaniwala.

I’m a werewolf, eight months pregnant with my vampire mate's hybrid child. When the contractions hit, my vampire mate, Justin, locked me in an ice coffin carved with runes meant to suppress childbirth. I screamed. I begged him. He just said, "Wait." But this was all for his childhood sweetheart. Isolde. The pureblood vampire had used dark blood magic to carry his pure-blood heir without having sex. The first vampire child born in a millennium would receive the Progenitor's ultimate blessing. It would purify the bloodline. It would break a curse generations in the making. "That honor belongs to Isolde's child," Justin said, his voice pure ice. "You already have my love, Gracie. This coffin just ensures you give birth after her." The pain of the contractions tore through me. I begged him to take me to the Bloodspring Sanctuary. He leaned in, his cold fingers gripping my chin. "Stop the act. I should have seen it sooner. You never loved me. You were an outcast in the werewolf world. You only wanted my power and my title." "You're so desperate you'd risk our child with your savage wolf tricks, just to ruin a pureblood's blessing... You're poison." Tears streamed down my face. I trembled, my voice shattering. "The baby's coming—I can't stop it. Please, I'll make a blood oath. I don't care about the blessing. I just want you!" He scoffed, a hint of pained betrayal in his eyes. "If you loved me, you wouldn't have run to my mother. You wouldn't have poisoned her mind against Isolde." "I'll be back after she receives the blessing. After all, the child you're carrying is mine, too." He stood guard outside the sanctuary where Isolde's ritual was taking place. He didn't give me another thought. Not until he saw the halo of the blessing crown Isolde. He ordered his blood thrall to release me. But the thrall's voice trembled with terror. "My lord… Lady Gracie and the child… their life signs… they're gone." In that instant, Justin’s world shattered.
