Young Jeremy Sumpter

"Ouch, that hurts!" Underneath the bright lights, the man makes me lie facedown on the bed. Then, he pushes my waist down from behind, seemingly looking for the best spot. I feel something odd press against me and cry out, telling him to stop. He doesn't, though. In fact, he grabs hold of my belt.

I'm at the amusement park with my husband and our daughter when my blouse—still damp from breastfeeding—catches the eye of a father from my daughter's kindergarten class. He secretly takes pictures of me and starts blackmailing me, demanding a taste. My husband and our daughter are close by, but he grows bolder by the minute and orders me to undo his belt.

"Please, stop pushing. I can't take this anymore." The concert venue is packed tight. A man behind me keeps pressing into my backside. I'm wearing a mini skirt today with a thong underneath, and it only makes the situation worse. He lifts my skirt and presses himself against my hips. As the atmosphere heats up, someone in front of me slams into me, and I stumble back a step. My body stiffens as I feel like something just slid inside me.

My mom, Allison Ramsey, runs an adult store. One day, I'm so tired that I doze off inside, only to end up accidentally trapped in one of those pleasure beds. When Mr. Palmer from next door walks in, he mistakes me for the store's latest doll and proceeds to pull down my hot pants.

Agar anakku, Edy Sudrian bisa masuk sekolah internasional yang terunggul, aku sudah mempersiapkan semua berkas selama setahun. Di hari terakhir pengecekan berkas masuk sekolah, semua berkas sudah disiapkan kecuali akta nikahku bersama suamiku, Eric Sudrian. Namun, begitu tiba di ruang pendaftaran, Eric justru menuduhku karena bertindak sepihak. Saat aku hendak membela diri, staf sekolah berkata dengan wajah aneh, "Nyonya Anida Kusuma, sistem mencatat bahwa pasangan sah Tuan Eric bukan Anda." Dalam seketika, aku langsung terdiam. Darah dalam tubuhku seakan membeku. Sebelum aku sadar kembali, Viona Hakana yang berdiri diam di belakang Eric langsung menyerahkan akta nikahnya. Usai memeriksa, staf sekolah pun mengangguk sambil berbicara, "Pak Eric dan Bu Viona telah menikah di bulan Juni empat tahun lalu, sehingga bisa diproses sekarang." Di bulan Juni empat tahun yang lalu. Hari itu adalah hari pertunanganku bersama Eric. Eric menggenggam tanganku di depan para tamu, kemudian bersumpah bahwa aku adalah satu-satunya cinta sejatinya. Namun, kalimat itu ternyata menipuku selama tujuh tahun.

In the bedroom, I am being manipulated into various positions. A strange man reaches out toward me and fondles my body roughly with his callused hands. He leans in closer and tells me to relax because it will help release the milk quickly. The man before me is my husband's best friend. He was hired to be my lactation therapist. His hands roam across my waist slowly and pause right at my chest. I can hear him saying in a hoarse voice, "I'm going to start massaging here." I can't help but shudder before closing my eyes tightly.

The bedroom was dark, and I was holding my wife's hand, feeling like I wanted to do something a little daring. But as I moved her hand, she suddenly stopped me, her hand trembling slightly. When the movie ended and the lights came on, I was shocked to realize that the person beside me wasn't my wife, but our neighbor, Lesley Mendoza...

My sister-in-law, Maeve Cohen, floored my luxury car and blew past traffic at about 125 mph, killing a family of three. She pretended to be me and acted as if nothing could touch her. "Those idiots walked into my path! It's not my fault they got hit!" she snapped. "I'm the Lincoln Enterprise heiress. Even if I ran, who would dare catch me?" In my last life, Maeve said her husband wasn't home and she needed a car to visit her parents, so she borrowed mine. She ended up racing down the road, plowing into a family crossing the street, and driving back over them to make sure they were dead. The couple had just bought a house. The baby was only a month old. When the victims' family demanded an explanation, she hid behind my reputation and spat venom. "They're just three worthless people! I'm the Lincoln Enterprise heiress; why should I explain myself? Tell them to come to me for funeral expenses!" The grieving family couldn't take it and came to my in-laws' place. "Three worthless people, huh? Today, we'll end you so you can apologize to them in person!" My husband had died the year before. With no one to protect me, the victims' family turned on me, and I was stabbed to death. The valuable wedding gifts my family had given to me became Maeve's overnight. My family tried to appeal for me, but trolls who hated the rich maliciously reported tax problems about my father's company. My father was driven to exhaustion. One night, he fell asleep at the wheel, and the car plunged off a cliff, killing him. Only after I died did I discover it had all been Maeve's plan to ruin us out of spite. Then I opened my eyes. I was back on the day Maeve took my car and ran into those people.

"Dalam persepsi kuno laki-laki dan perempuan tak bisa bersahabat. Jika keduanya bersahabat biasanya ujung-ujungnya akan melibatkan perasaan pada salah satu pihak." Bagi Serena, quote itu hanyalah sebuah bualan belaka. Buktinya ia sudah bersahabat dengan Jeremy selama sepuluh tahun. Tetapi baik dirinya maupun Jeremy tidak memiliki perasaan khusus untuk satu sama lain. Namun apakah yang dikatakan oleh Serena sama dengan apa yang dikatakan hatinya?

Ako si John. Dalawampu't dalawang taong gulang. Kasalukuyan akong nagtratrabaho bilang isang Nurse. Isang taon pa lamang akong naninirahan dito mula nang kunin ako ni Uncle Robert. Siya ang nagpa-aral sa akin mula Highschool hanggang Kolehiyo ko kaya malaki ang utang na loob ko sa aking Uncle. Ang mga magulang ko kasi ay isang hamak na magsasaka lamang sa aming probinsya. Kaya naman ang kapatid ng Papa ko na si Uncle Robert ang nag-alok na pag-aralin ako dahil nakakaluwag naman ito sa buhay. Isang Pulis si Uncle dito sa Maynila. Mayroon siyang asawa na si Auntie Mabeth at mayroon na rin silang anak. Aaminin ko, isa akong bakla. At alam iyon ni Uncle dahil noong bata palang ay nakitaan na nila ako ng pagiging mahinhin. Hindi naging handlang iyon kay Uncle para hindi ako pagtapusin ng pag-aaral. Nasa edad trenta'y singko na si Uncle Robert. Pero makikita mo parin ang kakisigan nito kahit na nasa ganoong edad na siya. Matipuno si Uncle. Ang baitang nito ay nasa 5'10" kumpara sa akin na nasa 5'5" lamang. Malaki ang katawan nito dahil kailangan niya iyon dahil sa uri ng kanyang propesyon. Aaminin kong may pagtingin ako sa aking Uncle. Alam kong mali ito, pero hindi ko lang talaga maiwasan na pagnasaan siya sa tuwing makikita itong hubad kapag inaayos ang kanyang sasakyan. O, kapag nakasuot ito ng kanyang uniporme at bumabakat ang batutang tinatago nito. Pero nitong mga nakaraang araw, nag-iba lalo ang tingin ko sa kanya nang umalis si Auntie Mabeth para mangibang-bansa. Mas lalo akong nagkaroon ng pagnanasa sa Uncle ko. Mas naging malawak at mapusok ang imahinasyong binubuo ko sa tuwing makikita ko si Uncle. Sa mga sandaling ito, hindi ko alam kung hanggang saan aabot ang pagnanasa ko sa aking Tiyuhin.
