[Warning: Mature Content, R18+] Born with a mark that was never intended… Gifted with intelligence and skills far more advanced than her peers. Elsa Morgan didn’t experience the normal childhood that everyone had. Always been haunted by her nightmares and by unexplainable events since she was young. Elsa became a doctor to find answers. Destined to bear sufferings and do what is right for his people… Chris Jorgensen was bound to the woman he had not met yet and marked without knowing what he had done. In order to lead his kingdom to glory and victory, he must find her first no matter what it takes, even if it means crossing the other world. Two worlds apart that defy what is the norm in their worlds. Brought together by the invisible tie that binds them together. Or is it true love that defies all reasons? When accidents turn out to be fate in disguise, will they be able to reject the strong pull towards the person who turned their whole world and everything they worked hard for upside down? ******** “What the hell! I told you not to move!” Elsa shouted while running back to the man, who lifted his head and smirked at her. Elsa screamed when the naked man abruptly pulled her onto his lap and started sniffing her all over her body, especially on her chest, hair, and neck. She heard her dogs growl and come closer to the man but quickly calmed down when he gave them a quick glance, and it absolutely surprised her. “What are you doing!” Elsa pushed the naked man on the chest for she could feel him hard down there and it was making her really uncomfortable. “Your smell… Mmm… Lavender and blueberry… God, you smell divine…” The man casually said before burying his face in her neck and sniffing her hard. “You pervert!” With all her strength, Elsa pushed him once again and slapped him so hard that she also hurt her palm, making his head turn to the side on impact. She briskly stood up and shouted, “Nile, tackle! Girls guard!” In a swift move, Nile jumped to the naked man tackling and pushing him to the ground while Ciel, Gaia, and Nuri surrounded him, not removing their gaze from him while growling and showing their sharp teeth and fangs. But then a more powerful force is pulling her eyes beyond the man’s buff chest and deep in her mind she convinced herself that she would do this because she is a doctor and he is her patient– an injured patient, she reminded herself. She would look at him only to see the extent of his injuries and nothing more. She is a doctor… A licensed professional for God’s sake! ‘How can I buckle him up if it’s on the way of the strap? Should I move it to the side?’ Elsa was having a battle in her head ultimately muddled about whether she would touch it or not. From the way he looks, she is sure that he is heavy and she must use the straps properly to be able to securely drag him to her car for both their safety. ******** Chris pretended to be sleeping while he let himself heal, or so he thought. The sedative took a while to have an effect on him. But eventually, he dozed off and was unconscious for real this time. He opened his eyes and saw white walls and someone was holding his right hand. He sat up and saw the red-haired woman’s hand on top of his while her wrist was glowing. Chris’ eyes widened, he held his shoulder and shook her up, “Wake up! There’s a glowing mark on your wrist!” But no matter how hard he wakes her up, she’s not opening her eyes. “You are mine, Elsa. And I am yours.” Chris moved his face closer to hers and planted a soft gentle kiss on her lips. “Whoever you are, Elsa, I will protect you. Even if it’s from the man that you call Dad.” Chris whispered as if someone would hear him. Completed Book: CEO's Contract Obsession ********

"Bamby!.." kahit sobrang basa na ako. Nilalamig na dahil kanina pa ako sa ilalim ng malakas na ulan. Nakaya ko pa ring tumayo at harapin ang taong tumawag saking pangalan. Hindi Bamby ang tawag nya sakin eh. Babe!. Bakit biglang nagbago?. Halos hindi ko na sya maaninag. Hapon na kasi kung kaya't madilim na ang paligid. Epekto ng malakas na ulan. Kinuyom ko ang palad nang matanaw kong palapit sya sakin. "Dyan ka lang!.." nanginginig kong sambit. Nag-init muli ang gilid ng mata ko. Hindi ko na kailangan pang magpanggap na hindi umiiyak dahil hindi naman iyon halata sa lakas ng ulan. Para ngang nakikisama sakin ang panahon. Nagdadalamhati rin sa unang pagkabigo ko. Dinadamayan ako. Sinasabing, umiyak ka lang para di masakit. Pero tangina talaga! Kahit anong iyak ko. Masakit pa rin eh. Sobrang sakit ng puso kong makitang unti unting nawawala ang taong pinangarap ko. "Babe?.." basag na rin ang kanyang boses. Isang pulgada pa rin ang agwat naming dalawa. Ngunit sa layo naming iyon, ramdam ko pa rin ang hindi ko maintindihan na presensya nya. Ang gulo. O ako ngayon ang naguguluhan sa lahat. "Di mo naman sinabi sakin na, ang tindi pala ng sikat ng araw sa inyo.." Tumingin ako sa kawalan. Natatawa. Baliw na yata ako. Pinunasan ko ang luhang naglandas saking pisngi. Di pa nga ata luha iyon eh. Kundi tubig ulan. Ganun na ako kalito sa nangyayari. "Ang init nyo masyado.... nakakapaso.." Wala na akong pakialam kung hinde nya maintindihan ang sinabi ko. Ang gusto ko lang ngayon, ay sabihin lahat ng gusto ko... sa huling pagkakataon.. "Babe?.." muli. Gumawa sya ng limang hakbang pero hanggang doon nalang sya dahil ayokong lumapit pa sya. "Dyan ka lang!." mariin kong banta. Natigilan sya. Nagmamakaawa ang kanyang mga mata. Pulang pula na rin ang kanyang ilong. Tanda na umiiyak rin sya. Hell! Wala akong pakialam. "Nangako ka hindi ba?.." suminghot ako. Sa wakas, nagkaroon ng lakas ng loob na tumingin sa kanyang mata. "Nangako ka sa akin?." hindi sya tumango o umiling o kahit na ano. Pinanood nya lang akong humagulgol sa unang pagkakataon. Bumuhos ang luhang kanina ko pa ayaw pakawalan. Hindi ko na kaya. Ang hirap. "Kumapit ako doon.. pinaniwalaan ko..pero anong ginawa mo?.." nanghina ang tuhod ko dahilan para mapaupo ako. At... doon umiyak ng umiyak. "Hindi ko alam..." "Anong hindi mo alam huh?.. Jaden, naniwala ako sa'yo.. bakit mo iyon sinira?.." Hindi sya makapagsalita. Huminga ako ng malaim bago muling tumayo. "Anong pakiramdam huh, masarap ba syang humalik?.." "Bullshit!!." malutong nitong mura. "Hindi ko yun ginusto.." dagdag nya matapos ang ilan pang mura. "Hindi ginusto pero pumayag ka!?.." mahina ngunit madiin ko itong ipinahayag sa kanya. Konting konti nalang, sisigaw na ako. Konting salita pa Jaden. Isa na namang mura ang pinakawalan nya. "Kaya pala hindi mo magawang tugunan ang mga tawag at text ko dahil masyado kang abala.." "Bamby, tama na..." mahinahon nynag himig. Di ko sya pinakinggan. Nagpatuloy lamang ako. "Mas masarap nga naman sya kaysa sakin..." "Sinabi nang tama na!!!.." sa unang pagkakataon. Nakita ko kung paano sya magalit. Ramdam ko ang apoy na nag-aalab galing sa kanyang mata kahit malamig ang bawat patak ng ulan. Galit ang namutawi sa kanya. Wanna read more?.

[COMPLETED] She believes in true love. He doesn’t believe in love. But what is love, really? She is the epitome of success—a star people look up to and admire. To him, however, she is merely a business transaction, a partner chosen to enhance his status. To his friends, she is just a fool in love, a pathetic figure begging for affection. Then shocking news emerges: her first true love returns, throwing him off guard. He realizes he has been nothing more than a substitute for her first love. He should be angry, but instead, he finds himself overwhelmed by emotions he can’t express or understand. Is this possessiveness, or is he finally learning to love her? She is determined to return to her first love, but inside, she is torn. Did she really treat him as just a substitute, or did she actually come to love him? What are they supposed to do when love is a question mark?

Among the gods of the heavens, there was a famous laughing stock known throughout the three realms. Legend has it that eight hundred years ago, there was an ancient country within the Central Plains called Xian Le nation. The ancient nation of Xian Le had vast territory, abundant resources and content citizens. The country had four treasures: delicate beauties aplenty, thriving arts & literature, treasures of gold and jewels and last but not least, their renown Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This person, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince....you could say.... was a strange man. The Emperor and Empress considered him to be the apple of their eyes. They doted on him immensely and would often proudly proclaim: “In the future, my son will surely become a wise monarch, leaving a reputable impression for generations to come .” Yet, in the regards of what came with royalty, of riches, power and honor, the Crown Prince had no interest. What he was interested in, quoting the very words he often said to himself, was—— “I want to save the common folks!” The young prince cultivated in earnest. During this time, two short stories became widely circulated. . The first story occurred when he was seventeen years old. That year, the nation of Xian Le held a magnificent Offering to the Gods parade. Although this tradition had already been abandoned for numerous centuries, through surviving ancient texts and verbal stories, one could imagine the grandeur of the event.. Offering to the Gods day, Martial God Main Street. Both sides of the Main Street were overflowing with a sea of people. The aristocrats were seated on top of high buildings as they exchanged friendly chatter; while the imperial guards cleared the way with their impressive armours clinking. Young girls danced gracefully as their snow-white hands scattered flower petals like rain, filling the sky as far as the eye could see. It made people question whether the dancing maidens were more beautiful or the flowers themselves. Melodious notes sounded from within golden carriages and floated throughout the whole Imperial City. Behind honorable guards, sixteen white horses with golden bridles walked side-by-side as they pulled forward a magnificent platform. Located on top of the tall, magnificent platform was the focus of everyone’s attention, there stood the martial artist to perform a show to please the Gods. During the festive heavenly parade, the martial artist would adorn a golden mask, don splendid garments and wield a sword in one hand. He would perform the role of the first military deity in a millennium to have subdued demonic beasts——Martial God Heavenly Emperor Jun Wu. Being selected as the martial artist to perform such a show could be considered equivalent as to receiving the utmost honour, and thus the selection criteria was extremely strict. This year, the one who was chosen was none other than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The entire nation was convinced that he would surely be able to become the most marvellous martial artist to perform such a performance since the beginning of time. However, on that day, something unexpected occurred. During that time, the martial god on the magnificent stage was just about to land a killing blow on a demon. This was the most exciting scene, and thus the people on both sides of the Main Street were fired up with passion. The people on the city walls were also becoming more rowdy as they started outdoing each other in sticking their heads out to see, both struggling and shoving. Right at this moment, a young child fell from the top of the city gate tower. DISCLAIMER: This story is not mine, I did not wrote or own this, I really just want to share it to everybody.
