Ibu mertuaku mengalami kecelakaan mobil dan masuk ke ruang gawat darurat. Setelah menelepon suamiku yang merupakan seorang pengacara sebanyak lebih dari 20 kali, barulah dia menjawabnya. "Kamu bikin ulah apa lagi? Stacy lagi ada sedikit masalah, aku lagi bantu dia. Jangan bikin keributan." Aku menahan perasaan tertekan dan memberitahunya bahwa ibu mengalami kecelakaan dan memintanya mentransfer 200 juta. Namun, dia malah percaya pada ucapan mantan kekasihnya, lalu memarahiku. "Apa hubungannya kecelakaan ibumu sama aku? Jangan harap bisa ambil uang dariku untuk keluargamu. Jangan ganggu, aku lagi sibuk!" Telepon ditutup dengan tergesa-gesa. Tak lama kemudian, mertua dinyatakan gagal diselamatkan dan meninggal dunia. Tiga hari kemudian saat persidangan dimulai, aku malah melihat suamiku duduk di kursi pembela. Dengan penuh keyakinan, dia membela mantan kekasihnya yang mabuk dan menabrak orang. Dengan kepandaiannya dalam berbicara, dia berhasil membuat mantan kekasihnya bebas dengan alasan "bukti tidak cukup". Hatiku benar-benar hancur. Setelah sidang selesai, aku langsung mengajukan perceraian. Dia malah panik. "Ibuku baik sekali sama kamu. Kalau kamu cerai sama aku, dia pasti akan sedih!" Aku hanya tertawa sinis dan melemparkan kwitansi biaya rumah sakit dan surat kematian ke wajahnya. Dasar bodoh ... dia bahkan belum tahu, ibunya sudah tidak ada.

She traveled back to the day of her wedding, and has to live through all that pain and torture again. Or so she thinks….. Lachlan was against the marriage to the conniving Alpha Wayne’s niece, fearing he was being trapped and leashed, but he had no grounds to refuse. Elelira was like a temptress from hell, or so he thought. He desired her, but he thought that was just a trick from her uncle.

To correct the mistakes of his past, he sacrificed greatly to get a second chance. What he didn’t expect, though, was for her to come back with all her memories of the future from the past as well.

"You have no idea how badly I want to make love to you," he responds with a shake of his head. "I love you so much," he continues and my heart melts. "I love you," I whisper back. "Okay, I'm going to make love to you now, Angel. It will hurt a little, so let me know if it hurts too much," he says and leans down to kiss me. "I'll be gentle," he tells me. Keeping his eyes locked on mine he shifts his hips forward slightly and enters inside of me. My mouth widens as he enters, and I feel a slight pinch. He was right, it does hurt, but it's not terrible. "Christ! You're the sun!" he calls out. I watch his face crumble. He buries his face in my neck and then he's above me again, his hands on my cheeks again. ... For 20 year old Alison Scott, love was never something she deemed herself worthy of.

I worked super hard during Cyber Monday and pulled in 20 million dollars in sales, only for my wife, Chelsea Abbott, to credit it to her childhood sweetheart, who had just returned from studying overseas. I was so furious that I confronted her, but she clung to Donald Dixon's arm and said righteously, "Donald just got back, and he doesn't have a solid footing yet. What's wrong with my helping him establish some authority? Are you really going to argue with me over this?" I swallowed it. But at the year-end conference, Donald actually pointed right at my face in front of the entire company and yelled, "I produced these results myself. You're just a deadweight living off your wife. You don't even deserve to be here! Keeping parasites like you in the company is a total waste of resources!" My performance was used to build his reputation, and this was how he repaid me? I turned to look at Chelsea, but she didn't even spare me a glance. Instead, she announced to everyone, "Donald's right. The industry's moving fast, and Will really can't keep up anymore. Starting tomorrow, all of his responsibilities will be taken over by Donald!" Faced with everyone's eager, gossipy stares, I didn't make a scene. Last night, the industry leader the company had been desperate to flatter just sent me an offer letter. Since Chelsea was determined to fight side by side with her childhood sweetheart, this was where we would end.

Mis propias empleadas me cancelaron en redes. Dicen que la guardería gratuita que les ofrezco para sus hijos es una cárcel y que lo que yo quiero es obligarlas a quedarse hasta tarde. Pero ellas no tienen ni idea: esa guardería la monté desde cero, trayendo equipo y personal de afuera, con una inversión de alrededor de 800 dólares por niño al mes. Aun así, en redes sociales me están destrozando: que si es puro show, que si soy "capitalista asquerosa", que si es pura pose. Se me fue la cabeza y mandé un comunicado a toda la empresa: "Con el fin de atender la solicitud de mayor flexibilidad en el cuidado infantil, la empresa ha decidido cancelar el beneficio de la guardería gratuita. A partir de hoy, este beneficio se sustituye por un apoyo mensual para el cuidado infantil: las madres que cumplan con los requisitos recibirán 20 dólares al mes." Lo envié y explotó todo. En cuestión de minutos, se desató el caos. Ahora tienen ocupado el pasillo frente a mi oficina. Me están pidiendo, por favor, que no cierre la guardería.

The girl wore a two-piece bikini that perfectly complemented her flawless figure. Her staged slip and fall into the water were executed with perfection. But why did that petite face carry an innocent, naive look, resembling a nymph? She lowered her head, and her long hair clung wetly to her slender shoulders. Each droplet cascaded down, brushing against her delicate collarbone, and just below the collarbone, Richard Harris's gaze couldn't help but shift. If he were to pull down her swimsuit just a bit... the light shining on her glistening skin would only enhance her allure. Richard Harris felt his blood rushing to a certain part of his body, eagerly awaiting stimulation. His eyes momentarily flickered with flames, enough to consume Roxana Nelson. Why did he feel this way towards that girl, even intensely so? Becoming aware of this, his expression grew colder, and a sinister smile crept onto his lips. In the swimming pool, many greedy eyes ogled at Roxana Nelson, her figure no less captivating than a professional model's. It turned out that it wasn't just him salivating over her alluring physique. This realization deepened the somberness of his complexion. Casting a sharp glance at the crowd, without a word, everyone discreetly retreated 20 meters, each one taking it upon themselves to save their own lives! It was her! He wouldn't spare her. If she willingly offered herself at his doorstep, she shouldn't blame him for not refusing!
