Who Created Among Us

In a car, Matteo Gallagher kisses Evelyn Walsh until she's breathless and entranced. She's been stripped, but he's still fully clothed. The stark contrast makes her blush. Matteo wraps an arm around Evelyn's waist and pulls her close. He chuckles and whispers, "The soundproof divider is up, so the driver can't hear you. He wouldn't dare listen in, anyway. Why are you so shy?" She watches as he intensifies his ministrations on her and throws her arms around him. Love fills her eyes, and she's about to reach her climax. Just then, a phone rings, interrupting them.

My wife and I were both liars. She lied to me 99 times. "I'll forget all about him, I swear." That man was her first love. She never did forget about him. I only lied to her one time. To get her to sign the divorce papers. Time came to the final day of the cooling-off period. Three hours before it was up, I packed up all my stuff and bought a flight ticket to another country. Two hours before it was up, I cut up all my photos that had her in it, leaving only myself. One hour before it was up, I placed the divorce papers on the table. When she saw the papers, they drove her mad.

Everyone in the city knows Lena Moore award-winning investigative journalist, fearless, sharp-tongued, and impossible to intimidate. She’s built a career exposing powerful men and tearing down corrupt empires. What she doesn’t know is that the quiet man she keeps running into at her neighborhood café Eli Carter, the one who listens more than he talks, who fixes broken chairs for free and always smells faintly of ink and rain is one of those men. Eli isn’t just rich. He’s the silent owner of multiple companies, operating behind shell boards and faceless executives after his family was destroyed by public attention years ago. He chose anonymity over dominance. Their connection grows slowly. Conversations about ethics, loneliness, and truth. Late-night walks. Shared silences. Real intimacy. Then Lena is assigned a career-defining investigation. She’s hunting a mysterious billionaire whose companies are quietly reshaping the country. She’s hunting him.

Ang kuwentong ito ay tumatalakay kung paano nabuo ang "wagas na pag- ibig" sa pagitan ng dalawang puso na pinagtagpo at itinadhana sa maling panahon at maling pagkakataon. Dalawang puso na parehong nakatali sa mga sinumpaang pangako, ngunit pilit pa ring ipinaglalapit ng pag- ibig. Ngunit, paano na ang dalawang puso na nagmamahalan kung makakalaban nila ang Tadhana na hahadlang sa kanilang pag-iibigan na hindi maaaring sumibol sa lupa, sapagkat sa ibang panahon at pagkakataon sila nakatakdang magsama hanggang sa dulo ng walang hanggan? Hindi ito tipikal na istorya ng pag- ibig na kung saan "kapag mahal mo, ipaglalaban mo", bagkus sa kuwentong ito tuturuan ka ng hangganan kung hanggang saan ka lang dapat makipagbuno sa ngalan ng pag- ibig. Sa kabilang banda, hindi lamang umiikot sa pag- iibigan ng dalawang pangunahing karakter ang matutunghayan sa nobelang ito, dahil nakapaloob rin sa kathang ito ang pinakamataas na antas ng pag- ibig- ang pag-ibig sa Diyos, gayundin ang pagyakap sa sariling kasalanan, pagtanggap sa sariling kahinaan, kapatawaran sa kapuwa at sarili, at higit sa lahat, pagtuklas sa tunay na misyon o papel kung bakit ka naririto at nabubuhay pa sa mundo.

This story was about my bitter and sweet love story. My bitter-sweet love story began when I was twelve years old. I had a huge crush on my neighbor, Dean Samaniego. He's tall, handsome, and smart but a little bit aloof, especially to me. He always ignored me though we were just neighbors. After six long years of having a crush on Dean, I finally decided to give up my feelings for him. The fact finally hits on me, that no matter what I did he's not going to like me back. We moved to another city after a tragedy falls on my family. Since then, Dean and I have never met again. But after ten long years, we finally meet each other. He is now a lawyer, a well-known and successful public defender while I'm just a small coffee shop owner. After I met him again I realized that I still liked him a lot, but I found out that he's already engaged to someone else. Is this a second chance that God gave me to pursue Dean again or a second chance for me to feel the heartache that I once was felt before?
