When Does Stefan Come Back

He watched her for a long moment, the anger in his eyes unmistakable. She imagined he was thinking of ways to punish her, but nothing prepared her for what he said next. "Strip." It was one word, but she doubted if she heard him correctly the first time, was he really going to punish her? "What… what was that?" She asked innocently. "Strip, Nancy." "I won't." "So you refuse me, I see." he said it lightly, the evil smile still playing on his lips. "That will not stop me from having you though" "You won't." She said firmly "Won't I?" She had expected to arouse his anger tonight, but nothing prepared her for the icy rage that contorted his features and the resentment and coldness in his eyes. "Has he touched you yet?" Derek asked suddenly, his eyes still hard on her and his look ever so cold. "Depends on the kind of touch you mean," She replied in a soft, tempting voice, "He has touched me in certain ways. But you are my husband and I should not be telling you that.” "No," he returned coldly. "We are just master and slave, nothing else links us.” ***** Forced to marry against their will, Nancy must not only prove to Derek Lincoln that she was never his lost betrothed, but she must also prove to the parents of his real betrothed that she is not their daughter. But when a man is this beautiful and yet so arrogant, God knows loving him could not be so difficult. Except he is strongly involved with his mistress, who would give anything to have him, even if it meant killing his present wife. But was he worth it? Nay. To him, she is just a personal whore.

But revenge is never simple, especially when it draws the attention of Leif Vexley-the most powerful and dangerous man in the city-who just might hold the key to her child's past. Yet she's not the victim anymore. She's the storm-and she's ready to strike.

Eight years into marriage, and Fabian's mom finally gave me and my son her stamp of approval. Invited us to spend Christmas in his hometown. My son—Luca--and I were hyped. We picked out a gift for her and hit the road with Fabian. Right as we pulled into the village, Fabian's old friend called—crying, claiming she'd crashed her car. Fabian panicked. Left me and Luca in some random snowy mountain town and sped off. It was pitch black. Snow dumping down. Then Luca screamed. He'd stepped on a trap and dropped into a pit. Blood everywhere. I called Fabian, totally panicked. He goes, "Stella, Roxana's in a wreck. I need to be with her. Stop making everything a competition." Then he hung up. Blocked me. No time to fall apart. I wiped my face, called an ambulance. Too far out. By the time they got there, Luca was already gone. Cold. Broken. Gone. I held him and screamed until my lungs gave out. Meanwhile, Roxana's posting in the social media. All smiles in Fabian's arms. His face soft. Loving. [Highway jam turned into truth or dare. One word—"accident"—and he came flying. So happy.] I exhaled. Tagged Fabian. [Let's get a divorce.] This joke of a marriage should've ended forever ago.

Sa loob ng tatlong taong pagsasama ay tunay na pagmamahal ang ipinaramdam ni Agatha Dela Cruz-Ibañez sa asawa niyang si Daniel Ibañez. They were childhood friends kaya nang sinabi ng mga magulang nila na sila ay magpapakasal ay hindi siya tumutol doon. Bagkus ay tinanggap niya iyon ng buong puso dahil umaasa siya na mamahalin din siya ng kaniyang kaibigan. Nawasak ang ilusyon niya nang direktang sinabi sa kaniya ni Daniel na wala siyang maaasahan dahil may iba nang nagmamay-ari sa puso nito. Ang mas masakit ay gagamitin ni Daniel ang arranged marriage nila upang pagselosin ang first love nito. Agatha tried everything to make him fall for her. She became the best housewife for him by giving up her booming career. She stayed by his side kahit na ilang beses pa siya nitong ipagtabuyan. “Hinding-hindi ako papayag na magkaanak tayong dalawa. You are free to choose kung anong uri ng abort10n ang gagawin mo. Ang mahalaga lang sa akin ay hindi iyan mabubuhay upang tawagin akong ama,” iyon ang katagang binitawan ni Daniel noong nalaman nito na sinabi niya na siya ay buntis. Labis na nasaktan si Agatha sa sinabi ni Daniel. Sapat na iyon para tuluyan niyang bitawan ang kasal na siya lang ang may gusto. Isang mapait na ngiti ang ibinigay niya sa asawa, “Kung ayaw mo sa bata ay wala na akong magagawa. Tapos na ako sa responsibilidad ko sa iyo bilang iyong asawa,” sabi niya bago pa man niya hinubad ang wedding ring na matagal din niyang iningatan.
