In desires we chase, what stakes shall we embrace?


Pinaniniwalaan na ng karamihan na sa gitna ng kasiyahan ay may kaakibat na kalungkutan. Kasunod ng halakhak ay daloy ng kalungkutan, at sa kahuli-hulihang pagkakataon, hiniling ko na sana hanggang doon na lamang iyon. Happiness, bought at the cost of sorrow

Until the final drop of time slipped through my hands, I longed to feel remorse. But the truth is - I never felt a thing.

Dahil ang kapalit ng kasiyahan ay ang aking kamatayan.

What I mistook for the end turned out to be... the very beginning.

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine dying on the day I was born... and worst of all is opening my eyes to a world I no longer recognize. The place I found myself in, the people surrounding me, and even myself - or the body I have, to be exact.

I died as an ordinary, untamed, reckless city girl - wild and free, convinced it would stay that way until my final breath. However, I was wrong, because I came back to life as a princess bound by cold, unforgiving chains. Isang prinsesang pinagkaitan ng kalayaan at nakakulong sa rehas ng nakaraan.

She was deemed to be a cursed princess, and how unfortunate am I, to have that as my second life.All Rights Reserved

Two broken souls entangle in the game of destiny which ended their dream of everlasting love. For one, it was a journey of regret which she has to live for the rest of her life. But why?. For other, he was forced yet he promised to seek revenge for sure., for seeking "Her" place. Who is Amaan referring to as "Her"? Who is this "loved ones" that connects both Asmara and Amaan and why do they hate each other so much without even meeting each other? "Please......." the only word that she could manage to say while trying to get out of his grip and sobbing. "Please......Let..........Me..........Go, " she stammered in between her hiccup, shaking her head with pleading eyes and folded hands. "Don't be afraid honey! I realized my mistake of not accepting you as my wife and to mark the start of our marriage how about I gift you something, " He whispered while leaning close to her ear emphasizing on the word 'gift'. Sensing her fright, he placed his hand on her waist while using the other to stroke her cheek, "how about giving you a baby tonight?". He spoke with an evil smirk. " I know it is your first time and I promise to be gentle with you, My Wife" Note: This is the first draft of the story and since then had not been edited as I'm busy writing my other stories on "Booknet." If you find typos or grammatical mistake or narration is not perfect, kindly ignore since your feedback about it would be of no use as you are reading an unedited story. I would edit it once the sequel to Kabir Hashmi is finished. And yes please be considerate when you comment.

Across Two Worlds: The story of how I became a Hero by AzureFallen

Have you ever wondered if you were meant to be something greater than what you ended up becoming but, life had other plans for you? Could it be something as simple as fate forcing us down whatever predetermined path was set upon our birth? No one can really say for sure what drives our lives in the direction they end up going. Sometimes we wake ourselves up to realize this isn't who I wanted to be and drown ourselves in delusions, convinced its unchangeable, or they are not willing to put the effort in to try to change their life because it may be to hard or painful. Others don't care content with the life they have and just float through life trying to not get caught up in everything. There are also those that blame fate or a higher existence then them for their problems and mistakes never truly taking accountability. This is the stories of several young adults, who by some interesting and what could be seen as cruel or traumatic events come together to fight fate and grow into the people they wish to become. Each has a past that was unfair, cruel, demeaning, or tragic. The defining trait they all share though, they may not realize it themselves is despite it all, they haven't given in. They found through meeting eachother the strength to fight on despite being subjected to some of the worst things that can happen to people. When a young man from our world dies doing something his ideal self would have done, he reflects on his life moments before leaving this world. Finding it Ironic that dying was the catalyst to him realizing he had lived his life all wrong. Surprisingly though he found himself in a place that was unrecognizable. He could never have imagined that this was only the start of what he now sees as a second chance. A chance to keep a promise he made to someone dear, and a new promise to himself that he would become what that person needed most back then, A Hero.

Saving Lily by Amanda7992

Book 1 Lily There's this old saying that every story has a beginning, except I'm not really sure where mine began. My story doesn't consist of sunshine and rainbows. It's about heartbreak, trauma and abuse. But it's also about survival. I lost my mom when I was just five years old. And the Mahoney's made my life a living hell. I suffered years of abuse at their hands. So much so, I prayed everyday that they would hurry up and kill me. That was until Mason made me a promise. Then I prayed that he would keep it. Mason I would say I had good childhood. My parents were well off so naturally I attended the best schools around, always had the best of everything. My dad was the boss in his line of work. He was a debt collector, or so I thought until I turned 15 and realized exactly what kind of debt collector he was. I grew up in a million dollar neighborhood, in a million dollar home. But things aren't always as they appear. My neighbors, the Mahoney's seemed like a nice family on the outside. Truth was they weren't very nice people. I knew this because my dad had to handle some business with them once. So avoided them as much as possible. That was until they adopted Lily. She was like sunshine on a rainy day. And I couldn't keep myself away. We were best friends and told each other everything, well almost.

Maybe This Time (Time Series #1) [Completed] by themistmonarch

TIME SERIES #01 (UNDER REVISION) In the aftermath of a heartbreak that left my spirit shattered, I found myself wandering through the debris of shattered dreams, convinced that love was a distant mirage. Just when the echoes of heartache threatened to drown me, a compelling force emerged-a figure whose presence would redefine my perception of love and resilience. This transformative individual, whose arrival seemed almost serendipitous, became the harbinger of hope in the midst of my emotional wreckage. They navigated the labyrinth of my broken heart with an innate ability to mend the fragments, unveiling the prospect that, against all odds, a personal and profound happy ending was within reach. As their influence seeped into the tapestry of my life, I discovered a reservoir of strength I never knew existed. Together, we embarked on a journey of self-discovery, where the scars of the past became a testament to resilience rather than a harbinger of despair. Through shared moments of vulnerability and understanding, this enigmatic presence became the catalyst for a narrative of renewal and redemption. The unfolding story navigates the complexities of healing and rebuilding, as I grapple with the remnants of my previous heartbreak. The emotional landscape transforms, revealing that love, far from being an elusive dream, can emerge from the ashes of pain stronger and more authentic than ever before. In the embrace of this newfound connection, the possibility of a personal happy ending takes shape-an ending not defined by conventional norms, but one that resonates with the authenticity of genuine emotions and profound growth. The story becomes a testament to the enduring power of love, demonstrating that even in the aftermath of devastation, the heart can find its way back to a place of warmth and fulfillment. *** Photo credits to their rightful owners and is used for entertainment purposes only.

We shall find our own Happy Ending by amey78

'Are you kidding me' That's what I thought as I find out I got reincarnated into so called Romantic Fantasy novel I read which of all the people I could've lived a normal life, I got reincarnated as Elisha Elizondo, a tragic character who dies by the hands of Male Lead's perverted dad after her own father force her became his concubine? Even my own siblings who died and have a horrible fate that ended with death and suicide? Oh, dear God. I'm flipping this forsaking plot. Screw this and my duke for being a fool. I run away with my siblings as disowning my very own 'father' as living secretly with my maternal grandfather, Marquess Valencia. While living few years with Grandpa, I meet the Villainess Rosabella Bardales who was in her weakest state and seems that she run away from her neglectful father and her abusive half-brothers. I felt sympathy for her, and I took her in by knowing her painful past. Seriously, why tragic people like her, and my siblings are always suffering by the same nonsense of our so called 'Families'? Even knowing why OG Elisha was chosen as the Male Lead's dad concubine. "Elisha, no matter what happens, I promised to be by your side...even if the world, calls you a witch or monster" I look back and seeing the Dragon Lord who looks at me gently and showing me some comfort. I smile before I look at him with pink dusts on my pale face. "Thanks, Draco. For being by my side, I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart". We shall find our happiness and have own Happy Ending.
