What Is The Sorcerer'S Stone In 'Harry Potter And The Sorcerer'S Stone'?

S시의 최고 재벌 강지혁의 약혼녀가 하루아침에 교통사고로 죽게 되면서 임유진은 음주운전 가해자라는 죄명을 안고 3년 형을 선고받는다. 지옥 같았던 3년간의 복역 생활을 어렵사리 버텨낸 그녀, 겨우 출소하여 자유를 찾는가 싶었는데 소문의 그 강지혁을 건드리게 됐을 줄이야? 남자의 정체를 알게 된 그녀는 그의 앞에 무릎 꿇고 애원했다. “강지혁, 제발 나 좀 놔줘.” 이에 강지혁은 입꼬리를 씩 말아 올렸다. “난 누나 절대 안 놔줘.” 모두 말한다. 강지혁은 피도 눈물도 없는 냉혈한이라고. 하지만 그는 옥살이하고 나온 환경미화원을 위해 간이고 쓸개고 모두 빼줄 것처럼 사랑을 속삭였다. 하지만 교통사고가 나던 날의 진실이 밝혀지면서 둘의 사랑은 산산이 조각나 버린다. 그렇게 두 사람의 사랑은 그녀의 도망으로 그렇게 끝나는 듯했으나……. 몇 년 후의 어느 날, 남자가 그녀의 앞에 무릎 꿇고 애원했다. “유진, 너만 나한테 돌아온다면 나 뭐든 할게.” 그런 남자의 눈빛을 지그시 바라보던 여자의 입에서 이윽고 한마디가 툭 튀어나왔다. “그러면 죽어.”

“나리야, 너 어릴 때 집안끼리 정혼해 둔 상대가 있단다. 이제 네 건강도 많이 회복됐으니, S 시로 돌아와 결혼하는 게 어떠니?” “네가 정말 원하지 않는다면, 너희 아버지와 다시 상의해서 이 결혼을 없던 일로 해도 괜찮단다.” 어두운 방 안, 송나리는 조용히 앉아 아무 말도 하지 않았다. 전화기 너머에서 어머니 장혜정은 또다시 딸에게 거절당할 것을 예감하며 깊은 한숨을 내쉬려 했다. 그때, 나리가 입을 열었다. “...엄마, 엄마 말씀대로 돌아가서 결혼할게요.” 장혜정은 순간 말을 잃었다. 예상치 못한 딸의 대답이었다. “네가... 정말 동의한다고?” 나리는 평온한 목소리로 대답했다. “네, 동의해요. 하지만 H 시에서 처리해야 할 일이 조금 남아 있어요. 다 정리하고 나서 보름 안에 돌아갈게요. 엄마, 그동안 결혼 준비 부탁드려요.” 그녀는 몇 마디를 더 남긴 후 전화를 끊었다.

One night of boldness leads to a marriage of convenience. Just a plain agreement. No commitment but a lot of sex. She is liking the setup until the 'right one' came back. Without a fuss, she left, bringing the memories and another heartbeat. ********** Dumped by her two-year relationship for the reason of her being prude and frigid, Alexzia Montes proves she was otherwise. With four glasses of wine in her system, she delved into a passionate night with a stranger she randomly picked. "Do I need to pay you? How much?" she outrightly asked. "Can you afford me?" he snickers. "Just tell me how much" she stubbornly retorted. She is getting pissed by his arrogance. "500 billion dollars" he briefly replies with raised challenging brows. "What?" she mumbles in disbelief. "My present net worth is more or less 500 billion dollars" he unconcernedly replied. Stunned, she becomes quiet. "That's why you look familiar..." she frustratedly whispers, facepalming herself. The man she often sees on tv and in newspapers but hasn't met in person. The only person in the country who has a five hundred billion net worth. "CEO Lucien Wright..." she whispers in despair, almost indistinct. Of all people, she had chosen the cold and ruthless CEO of Wright Group of Companies. How could she afford him? He could even buy her, body and soul. "I need a wife, a bait for my girlfriend to come back. Name your price" he casually announced, handing her the documents. "Once she is back, you will sign the divorce paper and peacefully leave. I will pay you, just name the amount" he added. The offer is tempting Alexzia. She needs ten million dollars and it's an impossible plight but she has an easy way out, being a Ten Million Dollar Wife to CEO Wright.

I’m trapped, trapped in a mate bond I hate. Will I ever escape its hold on me? “I, Than Sable, Alpha of the Amber Desert Pack, reject you Kaia Glace as my Luna.” I remember his cruel cutting words as if they were only yesterday. Our mate bond is non-existent. That’s a lie, it exists but Than doesn’t allow himself to get close to me…to be alone in a room with me. It’s as if I disgust him. He has reduced me to nothing. A shadow of a mate and I hate him for it. I can’t keep living like this, waiting… I am Kaia Glace, the rightful Luna of the Amber Desert pack. Yet my mate, Alpha Than, refuses to let me rule by his side. I feel cheated by the mate bond, unwanted by my own mate. Years I’ve spent trying to get him to love me…to see me…but how can I? When he has another…. I can’t stay, it isn’t safe for me anymore or my unborn child. A child created by force. I have to leave…to runaway and find my Father. He is the only lifeline I have. However, he was last seen at the enemy pack, the Dark Phantom pack. A notorious pack with a cold and scheming Alpha, who doesn’t take kindly to outsiders. It is said, those who enter the pack are never seen again. But I have no choice…into the enemy pack I must go to rid myself of my mate bond. Only, I myself find another. Another that dooms me to the same trickery of the mate bond.
