Who Is The Father Of Modern Criminology

I'd been home for half a month, but I still couldn't shake the feeling that Mom wasn't quite herself anymore. She looked and sounded like she always had, but something felt different. Then, one day, I got a message from her that sent a chill down my spine. "Lily, hide! There's a ghost in the house!" At first, I thought she was pulling a prank on me—or maybe her account got hacked. Then, there was a knock on my bedroom door. Mom, who had just finished cooking, called out to tell me the meal was ready. I was still hesitating when another message popped up. It was a voice message. "Trust me, Lily. I'm your real mom! The one out there is a ghost! Run!" It sounded just like Mom's voice from outside. My mind was racing in panic. Not hearing me respond, Mom giggled from the other side of the door and said, "I'm coming in."

Lucas needed a pretend girlfriend para patahimikin ang media, at si Moon—she badly needed the money para sa pamilya niya. Sa simula, malinaw ang kasunduan. Walang selosan, walang expectations. Pero kahit gaano nila tangkaing panatilihing peke, hindi nila mapigilan ang spark na unti-unting nabubuo. Late-night talks. Unexpected kilig. Lingering stares. Halos. Pero sa kasagsagan ng paglalim ng nararamdaman ni Moon, biglang nawala si Lucas. Walang paalam. Walang mensahe. Ghosted. Left hanging. Pitong taon ang lumipas. Si Moon, mas matatag na ngayon. Mas kampante, mas kumpleto. Sa pagbabalik niya sa corporate world, nag-apply siya sa isang sikat na kumpanya—hindi niya alam, doon din siya muling masasaktan. Lucas Madrigal is back. Pero ngayong CEO na siya, at si Moon ang magiging sekretarya niya, tables have turned. Lucas acts cold, pero may halong pag-aalalang hindi niya maitagong lubos. Moon, on the other hand, pretends she's fine. But the tension? It's there. Unspoken. Unfinished. Undeniable. As they spend more time together, lumalabas ang mga lihim—kung bakit bigla siyang nawala. Kung anong nangyari sa pagitan nila noon. At kung totoo nga bang wala siyang naramdaman. Pero ang mas mabigat: May bagong plano si Moon. At hindi ito para muling magmahal. It’s to make him fall—this time, without catching him. Matutuloy ba ang plano ni Moon? O hahayaan na lang nya ang nakaraan at sasabay sa agos ng pag-iibigang mabubuo muli

"I knew; I married you on condition!" He hugged her behind, wrapping his hands around her waist. "BUT YOU ARE SOMETHING." He turned her back and pressed her against the mirror, placing his hands on either of her sides and caging her in his arms. "I AM ADDICTED TO YOU!" He looked down at her lips before pressing her lower lip between his fingers. A pleasurable moan escaped from her mouth and she closed her eyes, while making him groan "I thought I'd never love anyone again in my life, but you changed me." He lifted her head, taking her chin in his calloused hand. She shivered in response, and her heart started pounding into her ears. His eyes are darkened with a mixture of feelings. She can't help but notice him. He is 190 cm tall with broad shoulders and a muscular body and his flat abs are touching her body, which is giving her goosebumps. The lean angle of his cheekbones and his strong jaw looked like they could have been sculpted by an artist. She is placing her hand on his chiseled chest, feeling his abs and the warmth of his body spreading through her body as he is standing between her legs. "Your scent makes me crazy!" He bent down, whispering in her ear while biting her earlobe before her cheeks in his hands. It's been a couple of months since they got married, even though she feels shy under him—her fingers are tracing down on his biceps. He grabbed her hair, taking her lips into a chaste kiss. Jenny was a babysitter of the twins of Williams, but one day her boss proposed to her for the marriage to became the mother of his kids. How will she fulfill her husband's desires and journey with twins?

His eyes darkened as he leaned closer, placing a finger on my mouth. “Uh-uh, what did I say you call me when we're alone?” My body tingled with heat. “Daddy?” “Urgh…” A guttural groan tore from his chest. “Yes, baby?” My mind spaced for a second and Andre took advantage of that, tucking his hands under my legs and carrying me bridal style. “Andre, what are you doing?!” I shriek, dangling my legs in the air. “Finishing what we started, baby.” he chuckled, heading straight for the front door. I shook my head in bemusement. His daughter just found out about us and his brain goes straight to sex? Men… I wasn't any better though as I just waited for him to cross that threshold and pounce on me, instead of dissuading him. He strode over to the loveseat couch, sliding me down his body before pushing me back to the couch. Propped up on my elbows, I looked up at him with hooded eyes, only for the the door knob to flip. My eyes widened and instantly, I jerked up to my feet, coming to stand behind Andre. I had no idea who it was as Claire would have just barged right in. The door opening seemed to take several minutes but in reality, it was only seconds. It swung inwards to reveal Leila, the last person I was expecting to see. She took one look at us and wasn't in the least bit surprised. “So it's true?” Those cold grey eyes moved over to me. “You're the whore that's fucking my husband?”
