Villainess Have More Fun

Our Black Friday sales broke ten million. I allocated a budget of $100,000 and told my deputy to organize a celebration dinner for the team. However, after the party ended, everyone in the team looked at me in disdain. I only realized the reason when I heard their complaints in the break room one day. “Ms. Heaton is such a cheapskate. We made ten million in sales, and she treated us with a $3.99 budget takeout for the celebration.” “Seriously, I heard from Ms. Reiser that Ms. Heaton kept the money for herself! She just didn’t want to spend it on us.” My assistant even showed me a post circulating online, accusing me of exploiting employees and lining my own pockets. I summoned my deputy manager, Casey Reiser, to my office. She fell to her knees in tears and confessed everything. “I’m so sorry, Ms. Heaton! My daughter needed emergency heart surgery. In a moment of weakness, I misused the funds!” However, I had clearly seen her daughter sign up for a dance class just yesterday! Since everyone was so quick to judge without knowing the truth, I would retract the team’s monthly budget of one million then!

Agatha Diniz era apenas uma bolsista pobre, apadrinhada por Manfredo Borges. Mas ela buscava mais do que caridade — ela queria adrenalina. Mergulhou com um grupo de homens no mar e, entre beijos e toques, começou a sangrar. A corrente arrastou o sangue e um tubarão apareceu. Fui eu quem a salvei, arriscando a vida para tirá-la da água. Disse apenas que ela devia procurar um médico. Ela sorriu, concordou, e, no minuto seguinte, correu até Manfredo, chorando, dizendo que eu havia manchado sua honra. Na fúria, ele me jogou viva dentro de um tubarão gigante ainda consciente. Enquanto eu gritava e socava o ventre da criatura, pescadores horrorizados imploravam: — Senhor, por favor! A sua esposa vai morrer! Ele apenas riu, abraçado à garota: — Dizem que dá pra viver um mês dentro de um peixe. Ela não ama tanto os tubarões? Que vire parte da pesquisa. Na escuridão, com o corpo preso e a alma dilacerada, acariciei minha barriga. Sussurrei ao meu bebê: — Filho, a mamãe não vai conseguir te proteger. Um mês depois, Manfredo voltou. Mas encontrou, na areia… apenas um esqueleto, embranquecido pelo sal e pelo tempo.

A vampire-witch hybrid who sees her immortality as a curse, and a werewolf doomed to die young… Katharina Haven has outlived countless empires, drifting through the centuries until even existence itself felt hollow. To her, immortality is nothing but a gilded prison, so she began to search for a way to escape it. Yet answers continue to elude her. Until the night a tiny, bleeding wolf pup collapses on her doorstep. Xander Moonstone is no ordinary werewolf. Afflicted by an ancient bloodline curse, he shrinks into a helpless pup on full moons, suffering agony that will eventually kill him long before his prime. Katharina saves him on impulse, unaware that from that moment—or perhaps long before—their fates had already begun to entwine. But when her “little creature” unexpectedly shifts into a full-grown man in her arms, the fragile trust between them shatters and believing she'd been deceived, she drives him out. Fate, however, is not so easily severed. On the next full moon, Xander returns to her, bleeding and dying. And Katharina, against all logic, saves him again. As she digs deeper into his condition, she uncovers the truth behind his curse… and also learns that a cure demands an unforgiving price. To save him, she must die in his place. For a woman who longs for mortality and a man fighting desperately to extend his fleeting life, their love may be the cruelest curse of all.

Destined. This word haunted Vynetta from the day her powers surfaced as an infant. Destined to save. Destined to Rule. Destined to find her mate. She has always been hidden away while she was raised and trained. Her powers were limited until the day she found her mate, or the king found her, whichever happens first. She was the Earth Goddess reborn, this fact held little weight to her, but what happens when the secrets her family kept hidden are revealed? When she gains the first wolf of the moon Goddess? Vynetta leaves home with noone to trust, a king with endless resources searching for her, and a mate who is running from her. But what if the other lie she was told was that finding her mate was the end. What if its really only the beginning.

Hindi ordinaryong kwento ng pag-iibigan ang namuo sa pagitan ni Miya at Lucas. Kakatwa kung paanong nagsimula ito sa makasaysayang gabing tila limot na rin naman ng mga tauhan. Si Miya, isang Pilipinang empleyado na nagpakalasing dahil sa pagsasaya at si Lucas na naroon din na katrabaho niya. Hindi matandaan ni Miya ang nangyari at nagising na lang siya na matindi ang sakit ng ulo at walang maalala sa inuman. Naguguluhan pa kung ano nangyari nang gabing iyon dahil tila ba hinila lahat ng hangover ang alaala niya. Habang inaalam ang nangyari, bigla na lang nag-flashback sa utak ni Miya ang pakikipaghalikan niya sa isang lalaki. Ngunit ang lalaking kaharap niya ay iba naman ang sinasabing nangyari nang gabing iyon. Ngayon ay gulong-gulo na siya kung ano ba talaga ang nangyari lalo pa nang puntahan siya ni Lucas para ayain siya sa isang contract marriage. Hanggang sa naglapag ang kompanya ng bagong polisiya: isang milyon sa unang limang ikakasal na empleyado sa kumpanya. Para makuha ito, napilitan si Miya na pumayag sa pagpapakasal kay Lucas sa pamamagitan ng contract marriage nila. Ngunit sa pananatili nila sa isang kontrata, may mamuo ba na pag-ibig o mananatili na lang sa papel ang pagmamahalan nila?

"Why do you hate me so much, Maan" she asked hiccupping, hitting his chest. "I never said that" he said holding her hands. ____________________________________ "So, my Ita, how does it feels to be Mrs. Dutta," he asked holding her from behind while making eye contact in the mirror. "Best feeling in this world, Mr. Dutta" she replied kissing his cheek. ____________________________________ "I BLOODY ASKED YOU TO DO ONE THING BUT YOU CAN'T EVEN DO THAT!" he shouted slamming the wooden desk with his fists. "I am sorry, sir" she replied with tears welling up in her eyes. ____________________________________ "I will kill that man if I see him near you again" he said dangerously running his index finger from her forehead to neck. "W...why" she asked stammering. "Because you are mine"...

My wife—Nancy Valente—had been "missing" for three months after some fake skiing accident. I spotted her at a bar. She was draped over Finley Bennett's shoulder, laughing like she hadn't wrecked my life. "Good thing you came up with this plan. I almost forgot what freedom felt like." Her crew kept clinking glasses, asking when she planned to pop back up. She glanced down. "Maybe in a week. I'll show up once he's lost his mind." I stayed in the shadows, watching her bask in her little escape act. Then I grabbed my phone and called a buddy at the Vital Records Office.
