Where The Lies

My roommate branded herself as an influencer against beauty standards, vowing to free girls from appearance anxiety. Strangely, whenever she stayed up late partying and broke out in pimples, they would appear on my face instead. When she fooled around and caught an infection, the rashes spread across my body. The more radiant she became, the more monstrous I looked. People recoiled from me. Friends cut me off. My own boyfriend, before a crowd, told me I should just die. Then my roommate got pregnant, yet it was my stomach that swelled like I was eight months along, scarred with terrifying stretch marks. She, meanwhile, looked more flawless than ever, appearing barefaced on camera to encourage girls not to fear their looks. I knew something was not right. When I tried to dig for answers, my roommate and boyfriend trapped me in a basement. They tortured me until I died. Only then did I learn the truth. He owned a cursed amulet that shifted all her pain onto me. The moment I opened my eyes, I was back on our first day of college together. This time, the game is mine. I'll make sure they pay.

Deprived of truth. How far can a mother fight for her children? *** Blair couldn't be more desperate after Alicia—her fake friend stole her rights to be a mother to her triplets. She was taken away from the picture after Alicia tried to get her killed. After five years, Blair then decided to personally look for her triplets and to face her fake friend. She was after her kids, but her feelings for the father of her triplets started going back to life after she run into him again after five years.

“They are obviously my children” usal ni Juancho kay Orelia. Natigilin ang babae at naibagsak ang inaayos na mga bulaklak. ”Ano ang ibig mong sabihin?Ni hindi nga kita kilala!” iwas tinging depensa ni Orelia sa lalaki at agad niyang itinago ang dalawang bata sa kanyang likuran. “Hmm, hindi nga ba ikaw yon? But why do these children have my face then?” paninindigan ni Juancho. Pilit na nagpapakita ng matapang na mukha si Orelia, desidido na siyang hindi masangkot sa lalaki matapos ang isang gabi ng pagkakamaling iyon. Mamamatay muna siya bago niya hayaang mapasakamay ng lalaki ang kanyang mga anak. “Or would you rather have me let you remember what transpired that night,” usal ng ni Juancho sabay ng pag haplos sa mga labi ni Orelia gamit ang kanyang daliri. “Don’t touch our mom you bad guy!” biglang pumigitna ang batang babae at pilit na itinulak si Juancho. Nakasunod rito ang takot na batang lalaki. Laking gulat ni Orelia sa biglaang kilos ng mga bata kaya hindi niya napigilan ang agarang paghawak ni Juancho sa mga ito. Handa na siyang itulak ang lalaki at bawiin ang bata nang nakita niya ang mga mata ni Juancho na nakatitig sa kambal, ang malamig at walang emosyon nitong mga mata ay napalitan ng lambot. Ito ay mga matang matagal niya ng hindi nakikita, ang mga matang minsan ng nagpapabilis sa tibok ng kanyang puso.

Ang kanilang katapusan ba ay magsisimula sa ligaya o patuloy na magbabadya ang paghihirap sa kanilang mga buhay?

Ang buong akala ni Hikkary ay wala nang katapusan ang ligaya sa piling ng pinakamamahal na kasintahang si Zayden, ngunit nagkamali siya dahil nagwakas iyon nang malaman niyang pareho sila ng kanyang matalik na kaibigan ng lalaking minahal. She painfully ended their relationship and sacrifice her happiness just to please her best friend. Sa lahat ng desisyon na nagawa niya, iyon na siguro ang pinakamahirap at pinakamasakit— ang magparaya para sa kasiyahan ng taong itinuturing niyang pamilya. Ngunit hanggang saan siya pwedeng magparaya? Hanggang saan siya magsisinungaling sa totoong nararamdaman niya? Titikisin na lang ba niya ang sariling damdamin para sa kasiyahan ng iba?

‘Do you really think you own me?’ ‘Yes, yes I do.’ Running away isn’t an option now. I brought this upon myself by signing that document.

However, buried beneath the polished smiles and diamond ring lies a secret soaked in betrayal. Alana Voss thinks she’s marrying to save her family’s legacy. Rafael D’Angelo thinks the lady he is marrying is just a pawn. Neither of them know that they’re walking into a trap set decades ago by one woman playing them both - Lucia Voss.

Prologue. “You are not her,” his deep, dangerously dark voice whispered softly in her ear. “W…what do you mean? I am not who?” holding her breath unconsciously, she stuttered. “My bride. You are not the woman I was supposed to marry. Where is she?” His hoarse voice pierced through her chest like a knife and she felt her knees go weak, and then staggered backward, shivering. “Where is my bride?” === Sapphire Rodriguez's life got turned upside down when she suddenly had to take her twin sister’s spot on her wedding day. When she thought nothing could be worse than the maltreatment she was getting from her family, her twin sister got involved in an accident a day before her wedding which caused her to go into a state of comatose and she had to be the substitute bride until the real bride wakes up to take back her place. When the billionaire who married her was smarter than she had expected, Sapphire knew that her life was never going to be easy because this husband of hers will not believe that she didn't cause her sister’s accident in order to take her place at her wedding.

"Darby.” My name comes out as a low snarl and I struggle to think. “I'm afraid you have me at a disadvantage, Alpha.”"That's how I like you.” This almost purrs. He shifts his weight to the thigh between mine, brushing against my clit and I tremble as agonizing pleasure spirals through me. His nostrils flare with his next breath and the purr is a low sensual growl. “The better to see to every pleasurable need you have.”Big bad devilishly sexy wolf. Oh shit.

In the third year of our marriage, Adrian Jones made me play a game of truth or dare—and when I lost, he told me to take the place of a nightclub hostess and perform a striptease. "Macie's too timid," he said. "You dance for her." Laughter erupted around us. "Adrian's a real sport—letting us watch his wife put on a show!" "Liliana's got a body to die for. I'm burning up just looking at her." Drenched in humiliation, surrounded by crude stares and filth, I finally cracked. My voice shook. "Adrian… I want a divorce." Before I could say more, a glass of red wine hit me square in the face. Adrian scoffed, "The Shaw family's already bankrupt. Where exactly do you think you'll go without me?" However, this time, I meant it. I was done.
