Warning: MATURE CONTENT | R-18 | COMPLETED A woman with ambitions, goals, and perseverance-that's Shan Kassidy Alvarez. Wala siyang ibang hiling sa buhay kung hindi ang mapabuti ang lagay ng kaniyang pamilya, kahit pa hindi naman nakikita ng mga ito ang bawat sakripisyong ginagawa niya. Shan never knew she was living a constricted life until she met Zeev Alejandro Arcanghel. Binago nito ang pananaw niya sa buhay. Zeev became her breather and escape. He breathed freedom into her life. He made her feel so many things she never knew she could feel. But little did she know... he would also be her greatest downfall and worst nightmare. Shan got pregnant-and when she's about to confront Zeev about it, she found out that she meant nothing to him. Para sa lalaki, isa lamang siyang laro, side chick, other woman-someone who would sate and satisfy his carnal urges. Shan's world crumbled beneath her feet. She lost herself when all she ever did was love him. Nang malaman ng ama ni Shan na isa na siyang disgrasyada sa edad na disiotso, lahat ng masasakit na salita ay ibinato nito sa kaniya. Tinanggap iyon lahat ni Shan-maski ang pamimisikal nito. She's the one to blame. She gratified the sinner without knowing his real motive. Pero ang nakakatawa, mahal na mahal pa rin niya si Zeev. Lumipas ang taon, gusto lamang ni Shan na palakihin nang maayos ang anak, ngunit paulit-ulit na ibinabalik ng kaniyang ama ang naging kasalanan niya at pilit pang inilalayo sa kaniya ang sarili niyang anak. Paano kung totoong bumalik ang kasalanan ng nakaraan, maging ang taong inakala niya'y nilimot na ng panahon? Paano niya mapu-protektahan ang munting puso ng kaniyang anak na hindi masaktan? Paano siya makakaahon? *** This is a part of Wrecked Reality Series, a collaboration by TheMargauxDy, thexwhys, LegendArie, Lena0209, PrincessThirteen00, Vampiriaxx, and your very own Mayora (Ice_Freeze)! 🥀

[Edited Version ● Alternate Ending] "Colin? I feel so awful lying to you so I have to tell you what happened..today," Frankie blurted out, nervously cracking her knuckles as she stared at her boyfriend from one side of the living room. Colin's bright blue eyes danced. "What is it, sweetheart?" "I...I bumped into my ex-husband in the elevator today." "And?" Frankie exhaled. "And we had sex. In the elevator." There was an interminable silence before Colin smiled. "We'll work through this, honey. Don't worry." "Work through this?" she spluttered in disbelief. "How? How can we, when all I want is for him to do it again? And again, and again, and again, and..." She trailed off, sighing. It pained her to see Colin's hurt expression, but then again, it pained her to know that Konstantin had made her climax in that elevator more times than Colin had in their whole relationship... *cover by @hartlings*
