Where Was El Filibusterismo Published

This is a story about a young woman who fell in love with her classmate but, he is clueless about it and she tried everything to avoid him and he did the opposite thing and she will face lots of struggles not just in love but also in school, friends, and family. Let's find out how will she handle them all.

To "fix" Leonard Rinehart's oh-so-tragic depression, Naomi Gaffron—yeah, the same girl who once swore she'd only ever marry me—secretly tied the knot with him. So I gave in. Played along with the family's little matchmaking stunt. Married Aurelia Spencer—Brieton City's golden girl who'd been obsessed with me since forever. For seven years, she clung to me like I was oxygen. Every night, curled up like she'd break if I moved. I thought that was happiness. Then one night, I caught her whispering to her best friend: "Leonard's already got international awards. When are you dumping Leone?" "Whatever—I'm stuck with someone I don't love anyway. Doesn't matter who I married. Someone's gotta keep an eye on Leone so he doesn't screw up everything Leonard built." I checked her study. Found a hidden folder—over 100,000 photos of Leonard. A hundred unsent love letters. Even I couldn't fake it anymore. Bought a silicone dummy. Laid out the plan. The fire would be step one. Dead or alive—we're done.

I'd been "married" to Zachary for two years—until I tried applying for a loan and the bank's system flagged someone else as his legal wife. Our wedding? Just a private show. The real marriage license had his name next to hers. So yeah. I wasn't the wife. I was the other woman. Crushed, I went home—only to hear Zachary talking to his friend, Ethan, by the door. "Man, watching you stress is exhausting," Ethan said. "You clearly love Sierra. So why marry Cathryn?" Zachary looked torn. "At first, she was just a stand-in. But when she left, I couldn't stop thinking about her. So I brought her back—as my assistant." He paused, then muttered, "I can't live without Sierra. But I can't let go of Cathryn either. So I gave Sierra my love in public and kept Cathryn hidden with the title. That's fair, right?" I stood frozen, heart splitting open. He loved us both. Me—his childhood sweetheart. Her—the hidden wife. I thought I was the one. Turns out, I was just the game. He didn't break my heart. He shattered my whole world. But I didn't cry. I didn't scream. I walked away. And started planning two things.

My husband's first love gets engaged. To make her regret it, he abandons me, his newlywed wife, and joins a research project down at the southern tip of the earth. I've made 999 attempts across several years to visit him, with each one ending in failure. After five years, I stopped going. During a lively birthday party, he suddenly shows up. When he sees my slightly bulging belly, he howls in anger. "I spent five years at the research base, and not once did you care about how I was doing! Who's the father of the bastard child you're pregnant with?" "It's none of your business," I calmly reply.

When my mother-in-law gets hospitalized due to cancer, I'm about to pay the hospital bills when I find out that my wife, Lilibeth Saunders, has used our savings to pay off a male escort's debt. That's when I finally explode in rage. "Mom has gotten hospitalized because of her illness, and yet you use our money to pay off the debt of a useless piece of trash who relies on his manhood for survival! You really are an evil bitch, Lilibeth Saunders!" As Lilibeth grips the lingerie, she remains stone-faced. "How am I the one at fault here? I'm just trying to give my future child a father who still has a future with me! You can always earn money to treat your own mother's illness! Meanwhile, Carl can't do the same thing about his debt! If he doesn't pay off his debt, his life will be ruined! "You only have yourself to blame, Josiah! After all, you're a good-for-nothing impotent man!" The entire room falls eerily silent. My friend, who's there to help patch things up between us, looks at me with sympathy in his eyes. All the criticism surrounding me flashes through my mind at that moment. That's when I realize that it's time for me to end things with Lilibeth once and for all. What she doesn't know is that she's the infertile one based on the doctor's diagnosis. Also, her mother is the one being hospitalized, not mine.

On our wedding night, my wife led my younger brother onto our marital bed. He was wearing nothing but his underwear. She expected him to consummate our marriage in my place. "Sweetheart, I feel awful about your legs and what the doctors said about your infertility," she said softly. "Elliot will just have to help us for one night." My face hardened as I stepped forward. I was ready to throw Elliot Charlton out of the bedroom. However, my parents immediately sided against me. "You're the one who can't fulfill your role as a husband," they said sharply. "Elliot is willing to sacrifice himself so that you can have a child. What's wrong with that?" Even my brother laughed at me. He said I was not a real man and told me to accept things while I still could. According to him, I should be thankful to gain a son without doing anything. They even suggested that I stay and watch, claiming it would prove the two were only trying to conceive a child and nothing else. I clenched my teeth until my jaw ached, then turned and called my wife's greatest rival. "You win," I said quietly. "The Wallace family's investment will be transferred to your account tomorrow." After ending the call, I raised my eyes and looked at Janet Wallace. "You share his bed tonight," I said. "Tomorrow, we get divorced."

But some scars run too deep… and some secrets are too painful to forgive.

Yo, con mi trastorno cognitivo, entré a un juego de terror. Para los demás, lo grotesco y espantoso es puro horror, pero en mi percepción, se transforma en belleza y pureza. Así que, mientras todos luchan por sobrevivir, yo vivo esto como un juego de citas y crianza. Trato al duende con apariencia de niña como una hija, al conde Vampiro de las tinieblas como a un esposo guapo, y a los espectros ancianos como a padres a los que venerar. La primera vez que vi al conde, cubierto de sangre seca y con el rostro desfigurado, se me sonrojaron las mejillas. —¡Qué guapo eres! El conde se quedó desconcertado y preguntó en voz baja: —¿De… de verdad soy guapo?

Ethan, mi cachorro de apenas tres años, se metió por error en territorio errante y lo mataron de forma brutal. Cuando me dieron la noticia, perdí el sentido. Desperté y vi a Alexander, mi pareja Alfa, apretándome la mano con fuerza. Tenía la voz ronca por la tristeza. —Te juro que voy a vengar a Ethan. Voy a despedazar a esos malditos errantes con mis propias manos. Pero tres días después, en el entierro, escuché por casualidad una conversación entre Alexander y Marcus, su Beta. —En serio no entiendo. —Marcus sonaba confundido—. ¿Por qué no dejó que el sanador de la manada ayudara a Ethan? Estaba herido de gravedad, pero vivo. Si hubiéramos actuado a tiempo... —Fue Lucas. Empujó a Ethan hacia territorio errante por accidente. —Alexander sonaba dolorido—. Lucas es solo un niño y no conocía las fronteras. No fue su intención. —Si hubiera dejado que el sanador lo salvara, el niño le habría contado la verdad a todo el mundo. Sophia terminaría en la cárcel y el Consejo condenaría a muerte a Lucas. No podía permitir que eso pasara —continuó Alexander. —¿Qué pasará con el heredero de la manada? —preguntó Marcus, preocupado. —Eso no importa. —El tono de Alexander recuperó una calma—. En cuanto Ivy se tranquilice, traeré a Lucas. Diremos que es un huérfano adoptado y ella misma se encargará de criar al siguiente Alfa. Así que el que mató a mi cachorro fue el bastardo que tuvo con su amante. Mi cachorro pudo haberse salvado, pero Alexander sacrificó a mi Ethan por su bastardo. Marqué un número al que no había llamado en cinco años. —Soy yo. Ivy. —Cambié de opinión. —Yo sonaba firme y no mostraba ninguna emoción—. Voy a regresar para heredar la Manada Imperial. —¿Y qué pasará con la Manada Moonstone? —Quiero que la Manada Moonstone sea destruida.

En mi vida anterior, el día que mi hermana Elsa y yo asistimos a la ceremonia de apareamiento, le salvé la vida a un príncipe de la Sangre que estaba en la ruina: Sebastián de Montoya. Para pagarme el favor, en cuanto regresó a su clan, Sebastián anunció frente a todos que yo sería su esposa. Un año después, traje al mundo a un heredero de sangre pura, el único capaz de reclamar todo el linaje. Ese día, loco de felicidad durante su coronación, selló un pacto de sangre conmigo. Me nombró su reina y su compañera eterna. Desde ese momento, todos los clanes tuvieron que arrodillarse ante mí. Elsa, en cambio, prefirió casarse con el Alfa de una manada de lobos y terminó siendo una más del montón, la amante más insignificante de todas. La envidia la volvió loca: durante un ritual de luna llena, me empujó al abismo, dejándome morir destrozada en la oscuridad. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, me encontré de nuevo en el día del rito. Vi a Elsa correr desesperada hacia donde el príncipe estaba por caer, y ahí lo entendí todo: ella también había renacido. Pobre Elsa... no sabía en lo que se metió. Ser la prometida del príncipe es la parte fácil. El verdadero reto era ganarse su corazón... y sobrevivir para darle un hijo de su propia sangre.
