"You wanna leave?" I stared at him as he sat on the edge of the bed, his face buried in his palms. The hopeful side of my brain anticipated a denial, but the more sensible part of me knew he believed what happened between us was a huge mistake.

"I should."

He should? Did I ever tell him he shouldn't be here?

That's all he said while he sat on my bed, hunched over, sighing about something that seemed to be bothering him a great deal. His voice sounded gruff and full of regret.

It hurt more than the thought of him thinking I'm the type of girl who prefers one-night stands. It actually hurt. Actual physical pain. I couldn't even breathe properly anymore; my throat and chest ached and felt too tight for air to pass through.

"So you're leaving now."

"I gotta go. I'm on night shift." He got up from the bed and put on his wrinkled shirt.

"Okay," I murmured while holding back tears he obviously didn't wanna see.

The jerk wouldn't even look at my face now.

As my insides coiled, I grabbed my robe to cover myself up. The moment I shut the bathroom door behind me, the tears just streamed down my cheeks. Shit. Everything hurt.

While my eyes and chest ached, I bit on my lip and muffled my sobs with my palm.

It's not like I could say anything to stop him. He wanted to leave now. Meaning, he didn't want this. At all. He didn't want a relationship. He didn't want me.

Just another girl he met...

It's all clear now: I was nothing to him.

Chapter 1

- EILYN -

Traffic.

What a waste of time...

These days, I had to deal with traffic everywhere I went. And crowds. Just flocks and flocks of strangers rushing in every direction. Going about their daily lives.

Granted my affinity for privacy and solitude, being stuck with strangers almost always got on my nerve, which was why I chose to leave this dirty city and live my own life in another country.

Every single day in this place, traffic followed you wherever, whenever. Even here in the country's biggest airport. Now I had to waste my entire morning dealing with air traffic, too.

"First time for everything, Ei," I murmured with a sigh. My butt and legs just felt dead. Painfully numb like my brain now. For hours, I'd been sitting in this claustrophobic corner, just waiting to get out. If my pancake butt had eyes, the thick cushion would've been drenched in tears by now.

First time a Seoul-Manila flight took almost five hours! "There's still traffic in the air. Kindly sit tight until the weather clears up," the pilot announced earlier.

Luckily for me I was the only one on this flight who could afford a VIP seat. At least I had some semblance of privacy.

The plane was stuck in the corner of the runway. Heavy rainfall tapped against the windows while my arms and face felt close to freezing.

Why today? Of all days!

Our private jet couldn't fetch me since my uncles were using it, probably closing another big deal. I would've asked my dad to buy a brand new plane, but he's too busy at the moment.

Maybe I'd ask him for a smaller plane for my birthday. Or after my possibly suicidal brother got out of the hospital. "Hang in there, bro." I sighed at my last text to him.

-

Sent to: Kuya J

"Are you out of the OR now?"

Today 08:07AM

-

It's been hours.

Still no replies. Maybe the pain medications knocked him out. But Dad assured me that Kuya Jeihral safely got out of surgery this morning. One good news for today.

It could mean his injuries weren't fatal. Thank God. I'd been praying all night. I hadn't slept yet; now my temperature felt feverish and my joints were starting to ache.

Darn it. It's almost lunch time and we're still stuck in this plane.

"Ugh! I don't have all day!" I wanted to shout at the skies for this dreary weather, but the cabin crew might think I'm being such a Karen.

"Patience goes a long way, Eilyn," my dad used to say to me whenever I behaved like a drama queen. That was years ago, though, and I liked to think living on my own in another country had changed me for the better. "If your mom's too busy to be here, fine. Just be here tomorrow. Go see your brother," Daddy Eugene requested last night over the phone.

Of course I couldn't say no. Thinking about Kuya Jeihral and the culprits behind his unfortunate situation now just made my blood boil with frustration. Although I didn't want to see my only sibling all weak and injured, it's not like I had a choice.

"Tan's guys kidnapped Ken, so we had to find the idiot. The cops wouldn't do shit 'cause it hasn't been 24 hours yet," my cousin Daniel explained hours ago.

To relieve the numbness in my backside, I got up and walked around the first class section. The other seats remained empty as I waited for the ringing to end. "Pick up, D."

Four rings.

Five rings.

Eight...

Nine...

-

Surely my dad didn't have the time to pick me up today. He couldn't even text me back. Like my brother and Daniel.

Where the heck's Daniel? I called him again but he totally forgot about me. Were they stuck in another board meeting?

I flumped back down in my seat. Some nervousness still bothered my peace of mind, and I wasn't sure when my brother would be sent home.

"J's out of surgery." It was Daniel's last text before he stopped answering my messages and calls.

Bored to tears, I let my thoughts roam again. I had time to waste. This flight's taking forever.

More importantly, I didn't expect to hear that my own brother got shot by Tan's criminals and got knocked unconscious by a freakin' bomb explosion.

Shit. It's all Kenji's fault.

We're all used to hearing about Kenji getting in trouble but not to the extent of almost getting my brother killed. His own cousin. The heck...

Really, I thought Kenji's the only one we should worry about after he got kidnapped by that ruthless drug lord, Armond Tan. That guy deserved a death sentence. Multiple sentences, the better.

But Tan had enough dirty money to bribe lots of people in this city.

Sighing loudly, I raked my cold fingers through my messy hair. I probably looked like I just got out of bed, but, whatever. My patience was running out. I just wanted to go home.

If I took a cab and my dad found out, he would definitely pitch a dozen fits, then lecture me about "necessary security protocols" all day. Like the last time.

I understood his paranoia, though. After what Luke (my spoiled and insane ex) did to me when I tried university life here in Manila, my father often worried about my safety.

I closed my eyes and reclined again. My feverish temperature had already conjured up a migraine plus body pains. Then my phone buzzed.

A new text from my dad.

New message

From: Appa Bear

"J's stable. Transferred to a private room. Daniel can't pick u up. Sec guys waiting for u outside."

Today 10:47 AM

-

"Thanks for being very specific as always, Dad." I sighed before sending a reply.

Maybe he's too busy with something again. Like an emergency board meeting, or something else that needed his undivided attention.

"Fine. Cab, it is." I stretched my aching back while trying to ignore the incessant pounding in my jet lagged head.

Five hours. It had been five hours of traveling and waiting. I just wanted it to end. My feet were already itching to get off this plane.

Before I could mumble an expletive, the pilot's voice spoke through the speakers again. "This is Captain Velasco speaking again. We have received instructions to proceed and deplane. We sincerely apologize for the long wait. Thank you for bearing with us and we hope you'll enjoy the sights Manila has to offer."

-

"Black Trailblazer with customized plates." Daniel said I should look out for the vehicle. Just one. Not a convoy.

Well, I wasn't a filthy rich politician. Or a big-timer like my Daddy Eugene.

"Go see J. I'll drop by later," Daniel mumbled on the other line.

With my handbag, I walked out of the arrival area wearing a face mask. Crowds of passengers wheeled their luggage out of the airport, rushing to get out like me. I stopped near the exit. I looked for someone holding a placard with my name.

Not a single soul. "How many guys?" I asked. Perhaps I could just stroll out of here like everybody else. My mask hid my face enough.

"Three." Daniel yawned. "Told them to drive you home after. J was asleep when I left. Later. I'm beat."

"Fine. See ya." I hung up. I couldn't wait to see my brother. Fortunately he's recovering well in post-op, at least according to Daniel. Collien would visit my brother after work hours.

As the crowds dispersed around the arrival area, I sighed and waited beside my suitcase. I shouldn't even be here. I should be in Brussels, completing my newest collection for finals.

It's all Kenji's fault. "As usual..." I murmured.

We were never close. Growing up, he treated Kuya Jeihral like a big brother. They hung out more often than I did with my brother. But Kenji never really outgrew his "teenage rebel" phase.

Last I heard, he went to rehab again, perhaps his last attempt at cleaning up his act for his family's sake. Then the incident happened. And now my brother's stuck in the hospital, probably enduring a brain injury that could damage his health permanently.

Infuriating, to say the least.

New message

From: SD21B

"Maam Ei. B here. 1D 2B. Black Tblzr rims."

Received 10:49

"Fantastic." I scoffed. No black Trailblazer anywhere. As I stood alongside other passengers, the sky dimmed.

The cool wind tousled my hair. My fever's already giving me chills and my body felt drained. But like everyone else, I had to wait.

Then I got a call from Beck, the only female member of our security detail. "Hi, B. Can you hurry up, please?"

"Copy, Ma'am."

"Bay 10. Pink long sleeves, B."

"Copy. Stand by." She hung up.

I glanced around. The clouds darkened before rain suddenly poured.

Ugh. Great. I tried texting my dad again. Then a shadow and dark combat boots parked in front of my flats.

A security guard? Cop?

When I looked up, a wavy-haired guy with dark eyes stared at me, smirking. He didn't look like a cop or airport security personnel. My nose barely reached his bearded jaw. He reeked of cigarettes. He took a drag before flinging the cig onto the ground to stomp on it.

My blood pressure spiked. "Can't you read? There's DON'T LITTER signs everywhere."

"Axell." He held out his palm, as if telling me to shake his hand.

I frowned, just at a loss. His features reminded me of someone I'd rather not think of right now. "Sorry? Who are you?"

"X." Bearded Guy grinned at me, his dark lashes partly concealing his brown eyes. "Your new escort."

Jessiah is a make-up artist aspiring to break into the modeling and beauty industry. She moves to LA when she lands a job at one of the biggest production companies in Hollywood. On her first week on the job, she meets Jenson Ross, a big-deal actor and director with a dark secret only a privileged few know about. × Genres: Contemporary Romance, Werewolf, Crime, Drama × Rating: PG-15 EXCERPT: EXCERPT from BOOK I _ _ _ "Dollface," he murmured with a little smirk. Now his hand gripped her forearm.  He snickered when she only kept staring, then pulled her closer to hug her. "You're like an antidepressant, in human form." The utter surprise paused her breathing.  She couldn't pull away.  Her heartbeat sped up when he hugged her tighter. His warm face pressed onto the side of her neck, his hand lightly squeezing her hip. His beard scraped her skin, his thighs touched hers, and she felt like he was kissing her neck.  Shit. He was no longer thinking straight.  Perhaps unaware of the consequences of his actions. It was moments like this that worsened her intense attraction to him.   The flirty jokes, the easy conversations, the small smiles, his furtive glances, and his unusually sweet gestures lately just convinced her she was definitely in deep trouble. Amid her loud thoughts, he pulled her closer whenever she pulled away. Her breathing grew shallow while she stared into his eyes. "Dammit," he sighed while he gripped her arms.  Then his thumb traced the curve of her neck and shoulder, his touch both gentle and eager.  "Why are you always so f-cking beautiful?"  "Joss—" "What?" he muttered while stroking her cheek. He wasn't acting drunk or just playing with her.  Otherwise he wouldn't let it get this far. "You want me to stop?" _

Gianna Benton, a woman who came from a great family, a family with ancient history, had always lived a life that's overshadowed by her younger sister, Quinn. After her unfair death with her unborn baby at the hands of the man she loved, Gianna got reborn. Now with the opportunity to live again, Gianna rejects her mate and gives herself to alpha Axel, falling into an unexpected contract marriage. Both plans to use each other, and falling in love isn't part of the deal for them. Gianna plans to get her revenge on her former lover, alpha Nathan, who killed her in the past because of her younger sister, but surprisingly to her, alpha Nathan wants his mate back, and Gianna is determined not to let the past repeat itself. ------------------------------------------------- "Is this hell?" "Gianna, what's wrong with you? I know that you are excited, but you need to stop acting weird." Mom said. I reach out my hands to touch her face, but she slaps my hands away. This is real, I thought. Somehow, I have gone back in time to the day I got married to Alpha Nathan. "I need to take a picture of you, but I can't do it without your sister. Wait here for me while I go get your sister." Mom left the room, leaving me alone with my thoughts. My hands formed a fist in anger as I thought of Quinn and Alpha Nathan. I don't know how I have traveled back to the past, but I'm not going to let myself make the same mistake I did in my past life; I'm not getting married to alpha Nathan. No matter what, I need to put a stop to this wedding.

Trigger/Content Warning: This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised. It includes elements such as BDSM dynamics, explicit sexual content, toxic family relationships, occasional violence and strong language. This is not a fluffy romance. It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
