Zuko's Uncle Name

"From now on, you're mine, Zamara." Paulit-ulit na umalingawngaw sa isipan ni Zamara Lopez ang mga salitang ito, mula pagkabata hanggang sa siya ay maging ganap na dalaga. Anak siya ng isang simpleng magsasaka, namuhay nang payak, ngunit isang lalaki ang nagpabago sa takbo ng kanyang kapalaran—si Davis Santillian. Dating itinuring niyang tiyuhin, ngayon ay tinatawag niyang "ex-uncle." Ngunit bakit? Ano ang nangyari sa pagitan nila na nagpabago sa kanilang relasyon? Sa edad na 30, si Davis ay isang makapangyarihang negosyante na may madilim na nakaraan, at si Zamara, na ngayo’y 22, ay isang babaeng pilit iniiwasan ang anino ng kanyang nakaraan. Ngunit sa muli nilang pagtatagpo, hindi na siya bibitawan ni Davis. Isang kwento ng pag-ibig, pag-aari, at mga lihim na pilit itinatago ng nakaraan. Totoo bang may kalayaan si Zamara, o sadyang hindi niya matatakasan ang lalaking minsan niyang itinuring na pamilya?

"I can't marry Nathan, kailangan kong makalayo dito ngayon kasama si Milo. I should not marry him because his brother is Grey!" nanginginig na ani ni Samantha na ikinakunot-noo ng kaniyang bestfriend na si Shaina. "What do you mean? Sam, ilang oras nalang ikakasal ka na kay Nathan tapos bigla kang uurong because of Grey?! Can you explain to me why kasi naguguluhan ako, parang okay pa naman ikaw being with Grey sa family dinner last night ah." "Sh-Shaina, this marriage is a mistake. Hindi puwedeng malaman ni Nathan, lalo na ni Grey na anak niya si Milo." lumuluhang pag-amin ni Samantha na ikinalaki ng mga mata ni Shaina sa gulat. "Ano?! Yo-you mean, si Grey ang naka one night stand mo seven years ago?! Siya ang ama ni Milo?!"

“I’ll pay you as much as you want, layuan mo lang ang pamangkin ko," alok ni Ibrahim sa babaeng kinababaliwan ng pamangkin niyang si Khaleb. Halos hindi naman makagalaw si Loraine sa narinig. Hindi niya maintindihan kung paano mag-re-react sa sinabing iyon ng Uncle ni Khaleb. At napagkamalan pa yata siyang girlfriend nito. “Huh! Nakakatawa ha. Hindi magandang paratang.” Sa inis niya, nahawakan niya ang booklet na nasa ibabaw ng side table at saka ibinato rito. “Gago ka! Anong palagay mo sa akin sugar mommy? Ang kapal ng mukha mo!” “Hey! Stop! Stop! Stop!” Nagawa ni Ibrahim na umiwas, saka hinagilap ang bewang at braso nito. Hindi inaasahang nagdikit ang kanilang mukha. Her eyes met his, and it feels like searching him deeply in his bones. Aminado siyang nakuryente siya sa init ng hininga nito na amoy coffee latte. It makes his manhood alive, lalo na nang masalat niya ang mala-artistic na kurba ng bewang nito. Same as Loraine, kakaibang kilig ang hatid ng maaamo at mapupunagy nitong mga mata. Ang ilong nitong parang goddess ang hugis maging ang mga labing mapupula at magandang korte. Parang magnet na humuhila patungo sa kanyang mga labi. “Is this how you seduce my nephew. Because if it is, you’re doing a great job,” bulong ni Ibrahim. Hindi mawari ni Loraine kung papuri ba iyon o insulto. Mas pinili niya ang pangalawang statement ng kanyang isipan kaya buong lakas niya itong itinulak. Walong taon na ang lumipas nang muling magtagpo ang landas nina Ibrahim at Loraine. Wala silang kaalam-alam na minsan na nilang nakatagpo ang isat-isa sa isang malagim na pangyayari. No print, no clues, only fate will let them know who they really are and what would they be in the future.

Walang ibang taong naging sandigan si Sapphire mula pagkabata kundi ang kanyang Uncle Ares—ang lalaking kinupkop ng kanyang mga lolo’t lola bilang sariling anak. Tahimik, responsable, at palaging nariyan tuwing kailangan niya ng karamay. Sa tagal ng pagkakasama nila, hindi niya namalayang unti-unti na pala siyang naaakit sa misteryosong tikas nito. Kaya nang mawalan siya ng magulang sa London, agad siyang umuwi sa Pilipinas at nanirahan sa piling ng tanging taong pinaniniwalaan niyang tunay na ligtas siya... kahit pa ang puso niya ay nalilito. Bago pa man siya umalis ng London, pinangako niya sa sarili na ililibing na niya ang damdaming iyon. Hindi sila magkadugo, pero si Ares na lang ang natitirang pamilya niya. Pero paano kung malaman niyang matagal na rin pala siyang pinagnanasaan ng lalaking tinitingala niya? Can she hold on to her morals, or will she give in to the fire—and cross the line she swore never to touch?

On the day the true heiress and I swapped places, my childhood sweetheart, bound to me by a promise made in youth, gripped my hand before our families and declared, "I chose you, not your title." Anna Pedersen, tears brimming in her eyes, enveloped me in a trembling embrace. "Joanne, we'll always be family. I'd never take what's rightfully yours." Everyone assumed I'd turned misfortune into fortune. Though I lost my status as the Pedersen heiress, I gained a steadfast lover and a selfless sister. But three years after fate corrected itself, photos of Calvin Thomas escorting Anna to a prenatal checkup flooded the internet. When I confronted him, he exhaled a plume of smoke and said coolly, "Anna is my true betrothed. This is just setting things right. Why are you so worked up?" He seized my wrist and dragged our engraved engagement ring across the back of my hand, leaving a bloody gash. "This scar will remind you of the twenty years of life you stole. Your life and I belong to their rightful owner."

Quentin Quandt—Shane Fuchner's uncle—killed himself. After he died, someone found a drawer stuffed with unsent love letters. Every single one had my name on it. So when life hit rewind and Mom asked if I wanted to marry Shane, my childhood friend, I said no. I picked Quentin. Here's the thing—I got reborn. Last time, I chose Shane. Huge mistake.

He raised me like a daughter. Fate made me his mate. Rosie spent her life under Alpha Nicolas Hickman’s protection—the cold, powerful man she once called “Uncle.” She never expected the mate bond to tie her to him. She wants him to claim her.

Suot ang wedding gown sa mismong araw ng kanilang kasal, pinili ni Islaine na iwan ang lahat pagkatapos masaksihan ang pagtataksil ng kaniyang fiancé at ang wedding coordinator nila. Sa kagustuhang takasan ang lahat, magtutungo siya sa isla kung saan matagal nang naninirahan ang Uncle Nereus niya, ang step-brother ng mommy niya na piniling talikuran ang marangyang buhay para manirahan sa isang malayo at tagong isla. Sa kaniyang pagdating sa isla, paano kung ang Uncle Nereus ay tila ibang-iba na sa dating pagkakakilala niya? Ang dating bilyonaryong sanay sa syudad, may mestizo na kutis at may matayog na posisyon sa kompanya ay isa nang mangingisdang sunog sa araw. Pero sa kabila ng ilang pagbabago, naroon pa rin ang ilang katangian niyang hinahangaan niya rito. Siya pa rin ang guwapo at maskuladong uncle na pasekreto niyang hinahangaan noon. At sa bawat sulyap, sa bawat pagkilos nito, lalong lumalalim ang pagnanais na matagal na niyang pilit inilibing. Sa ilalim ng araw at mga alon, isang bawal na damdamin ang muling nagising.

The yacht I'm steering crashes into a huge wave, scaring my husband's junior, who has a heart condition. So, my husband orders someone to tie me up and dangle me in the ocean by a rope. He even tells the captain to head straight into the waves. "You know Wren has a heart condition, yet you still scared her! How can you be so evil?" I beg him to let me go and tell him that I was following a charted path; I didn't mean for anything to happen. However, he just mocks me. "You've been a yacht driver for so long. Haven't you experienced anything like this before? I'll make you go through what Wren did! Let's see whether you'll pull this again!" After a day and night of this torment, he relents and decides to pull me back up. It's too bad he doesn't know that the waves have already torn me to shreds.
