The Calm After the Storm
The last time I mentioned my engagement to Walter Reagle, everyone in the room went quiet at first.
However, after seeing Walter's annoyed look, they all started laughing.
"Who still believes in old-fashioned childhood betrothals these days?"
"Is Ms. Lawson feeling insecure?"
I ignored their teasing.
I just looked at Walter, who was lounging on the couch with his shirt collar open, showing off the lovebites on his neck and collarbone.
My heart felt like it was being stabbed.
The pain came slowly.
"We were too young to agree to something so silly," he said.
Walter looked up with a faint, mocking smile.
He gave me a lazy look. "We're grown up now, Emma.
"Let's just forget about the past."
The Calm To His Storm
He slammed me hard against the wall, while his tongue explored every inch of my mouth. His hand snaked around my waist, opening my robe and leaving my body on show. He placed his hand inside my robe, reaching behind me, causing me to arch my back. With one swift movement, he had unfastened my bra. He slowly pulled down my robe from my shoulders, slipping it off me. His kiss was intensifying and I couldn’t help the moan that escaped my lips.

Calm And Ruthless; The CEO Diamond
Juliet daniels
Synopsis:
Not all betrayals should lead you nowhere.
Max, my fiance, abandoned me on the red carpet, approached my claimed younger sister Fiona, and escorted her to the priest right in front of my eyes. In the end, he married her with the blessing of my parents.
It's really hilarious how these people encouraged me to marry him.
If that wasn't tragic enough, Fiona then splashed filthy water all over my beautiful wedding gown. I had no royal roots as the daughter of a prostitute, so I didn't argue or fight since I knew it would never end.
But they all seem to forget one thing: a diamond was just an ordinary stone until a polisher revealed its worth. Life couldn't have treated me better by giving me the name Diamond, and I knew I wasn't destined for a dead end.
I am the diamond, and I am waiting for the lucky one to polish me and reveal my real brightness. Do I need a polisher? Will I find someone to help me get back at those who have betrayed me? Or will I become my own polisher, shaping my own destiny?
The Past Is Like The Wind
I waited for my boyfriend for three hours at his birthday party.
Sean Ziegler was supposed to show up dressed as the star of night. However, his secret lover, Josie Sullivan, called him to the hospital.
She had pretended to sprain her ankle. There, she recorded a video of her and Sean kissing.
In the heat of the moment, Sean stood up and pushed her against the door. But he was supposed to be paralyzed.
“Sean, why haven’t you told Wendy that your legs are fine now?”
“If she knows, she’ll pressure me to marry her. Seriously, who does she think she is? Wendy’s just a free maid. She’s not good enough to be my wife,” Sean said in a muffled voice.
After that, he continued to kiss Josie intensely.
Wearing the wedding dress I had designed, Josie looked provocatively into the camera.
The video then ended with the sounds of them kissing.
It turned out that Sean had been lying to me all along.
I threw the cake that I made for him into the trash.
Then, I texted my mom.
[Mom, I’ll go on that blind date.]
Drowning in the Name of Love
The yacht I'm steering crashes into a huge wave, scaring my husband's junior, who has a heart condition.
So, my husband orders someone to tie me up and dangle me in the ocean by a rope. He even tells the captain to head straight into the waves.
"You know Wren has a heart condition, yet you still scared her! How can you be so evil?"
I beg him to let me go and tell him that I was following a charted path; I didn't mean for anything to happen.
However, he just mocks me. "You've been a yacht driver for so long. Haven't you experienced anything like this before? I'll make you go through what Wren did! Let's see whether you'll pull this again!"
After a day and night of this torment, he relents and decides to pull me back up. It's too bad he doesn't know that the waves have already torn me to shreds.

***
The man was briskly pushing open the door to the restroom, heading to the urinal. Even with such a mundane action, he did it with unparalleled elegance and grace.
Lydia, following him in a daze, saw his fierce lower body and suddenly snapped back to reality. She let out a high-pitched scream, instinctively covering her eyes with her hands, her cheeks flushed, and stood there stiffly, unsure of what to do.
Lambert furrowed his brows slightly but remained calm as he continued to relieve himself.
