White Lantern Corps

Biglang inatake sa puso ang aking mom, at mabilis na umapaw ang kaniyang medical bills bago pa man ako makahinga nang maayos.   Desperado na ako kaya agad akong humarap sa mayaman kong boyfriend sa pagasa na baka makatulong siya sa akin, o makaisip manlang ng solusyon sa sitwasyon. Pero sa halip na suporta ang aking matanggap, nagpakawala siya ng isang tirada na mas matindi pa sa kahit na anong salitang narinig ko.   “Ito ba ang dahilan kung bakit ka sumama sa akin? Para sa pera ko? Wala kang pinagkaiba sa ibang mga babaeng nagbibigay sa kanilang mga sarili sa akin. Parepareho kayong lahat—kaawa awa at walanghiya kayong mga babae kayo!”   Bago pa man ako makapagreact, agad niya na akong itinulak palabas ng pinto.   At nang maintindihan niya ang buong kwento, binigyan niya ako ng isang bank card nang hindi nagtatanong ng kahit na ano. “Candice”, tahimik nitong sinabi gamit ang nagsisisi niyang boses. “Birthday mo ang password nito.”   Hindi ako nagsabi ng kahit na ano sa kaniya. Hinayaan kong mahulog ang card sa sahig bago ako umalis nang hindi lumilingon sa kaniya.

What makes a hero? They say a hero is someone that has given his life to something bigger than himself. I say a hero is no braver than an ordinary man, he is just braver for five minutes longer. All soldiers are brave, it's what they do with their bravery that makes them heroes. Am I a hero? Clayton Jackson dedicated his life to serving his country. Enlisting in the Marine Corps at the young age of eighteen, he never imagined following any other path. However, fate had other plans for him as a life-altering accident during his last deployment left him disabled and forces him to return home. Hiding in the small town he grew up in, Clayton tries to keep his secret from his loved ones at all costs. One day while seeking refuge from his troubled mind, his path crosses with Isabella Jones. Their connection is instantaneous as if the universe conspired to bring them together. Isabella, a mysterious and enigmatic woman, is haunted by the demons from her own past. As their relationship quickly blossoms, the unspoken truths between them threaten to tear them apart. When Clayton is presented with the opportunity to rejoin the Marine Corps, Isabella is faced with a decision: whether to accompany him or remain behind. Caught in this web of secrets and lies, they try to navigate their love through the murky waters, desperately hoping to find solace in each other's arms. But will love be enough to conquer the shadows that lingered in their hearts? Or would the truth ultimately be their undoing?

Titre : Pas de deux avec le diable Elle s'appelle Graziella Valcourt. Fille d’une couturière et d’un ouvrier, elle n’a que son corps et sa rage pour conquérir la scène. Depuis l’enfance, elle rêve d’être l’étoile, cette ballerine adulée, lumière unique dans l’ombre des autres. Mais à l’Opéra, le talent ne suffit pas. Il faut des appuis. Des noms. Du pouvoir. Quand Élias De Marens, mécène influent, richissime et redouté, lui propose de financer sa carrière en échange d’un contrat... particulier, Graziella hésite. Un marché immoral, inavouable, mais irrésistible. Car il lui promet la scène, la reconnaissance, l’immortalité artistique. À condition de lui appartenir, corps et âme. Graziella accepte. Mais plus elle grimpe, plus elle s’enlise dans un monde de faux-semblants, de jalousies et de pièges. Entre les applaudissements et les nuits volées, entre les projecteurs et les chaînes invisibles, elle vacille. Jusqu’à ce que l’art devienne poison. Et que l’amour, le vrai, vienne tout bouleverser. Jusqu’où ira-t-elle pour danser au sommet ? Et à quel prix ?

Le dos de Lana heurta le mur alors que Lancelot s'avançait vers elle, les yeux remplis de frustration et d'autre chose. Quelque chose de plus dangereux . « Je ne t'appartiens pas », cracha-t-elle en levant le menton. Lance sourit, d'un sourire qui lui donna des frissons dans le dos. Ses mains s'abattirent contre le mur de chaque côté de sa tête, l'emprisonnant. « Ah bon ? » Sa voix était grave. « Alors pourquoi me regardes-tu comme si tu voulais que je te prenne ici même ? » Elle se retrouva soudain incapable de respirer et se maudit pour la façon dont son corps la trahissait. Son regard se posa sur ses lèvres et il se pencha juste assez pour qu'elle sente son souffle, sa chaleur. « Menteuse. » Elle appuya ses paumes contre son torse, avec l'intention de le repousser, mais dès qu'elle le toucha, ses doigts se recroquevillèrent, le rapprochant d'elle au contraire. « Tu vois ? Tu parles comme si tu me détestais, mais ton corps ? » Son genou se glissa entre ses cuisses, les écartant légèrement. « Ton corps raconte une toute autre histoire, ma chérie. » Lana retint son souffle, le cœur battant à tout rompre contre ses côtes. « Tu es un salaud arrogant. » « Et toi, murmura-t-il en effleurant ses lèvres contre sa mâchoire, la taquinant, la ruinant, tu trembles. « Je te déteste », murmura-t-elle, mais sa voix était essoufflée, faible. Il releva enfin la tête, sa bouche à quelques centimètres de la sienne. « Non, ce n'est pas vrai », dit-il avec assurance. « Tu me désires, Lana. Tu m'as toujours désiré. » Son pouls battait dans ses oreilles tandis que ses doigts descendaient le long de son bras, puis plus bas, effleurant à peine la courbe de sa taille.

My mom had a sudden heart attack, and the medical bills were piling up faster than I could breathe. I was desperate, so I turned to my rich boyfriend, hoping he could help, or at least offer some kind of solution. But instead of the support I expected, he unleashed a tirade that hit harder than anything I'd ever heard. "So this is why you're with me? Just for my money? You're no different from those other women throwing themselves at me. You're all the same—pathetic and shameless!" Before I could even react, he shoved me out the door. Later, when he finally understood the full story, he handed me a bank card, no questions asked. "Candice," he said quietly, his tone almost remorseful. "The password is your birthday." I didn't say a word. I just let the card drop onto the floor and walked away without looking back.

Ginny White, tall and curvy, was a graduate from a famous university. She wore a long white dress. I'd fallen for her since I saw her for the first time, but she didn't pay any attention to me. I never expected that just half a day later, Ginny would be on her knees begging me to do such a thing to her, just to get a bite to eat.

Mon fiancé Roch Martin m'a séquestrée dans son sous-sol pendant dix jours pour venger son amie d'enfance. Il m'a tranché les bras, condamnant mon corps, déjà fragile à cause de mon trouble de la coagulation, à une lente hémorragie. Le jour de notre mariage, il a maudit mon « retard », croyant aux calomnies de cette même amie qui m'accusait d'adultère. Ses mensonges ont tué ma mère, morte d'infarctus sous l'outrage. Pourtant, quand il a découvert mon cadavre desséché, c'était lui qui a sombré dans la folie...

After an altercation, Juicy finds herself rescued by this unlikely individual; a white, homeless man that she has thoughtlessly nick-named; ‘Mr. Cracker.’ Out of a sense of loneliness and true friendship the two outcasts try to find something deeper than friendship as they journey to self-discovery. Juicy is created by Pepper Pace, an EGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.
