[ NOW ONGOING. ] ‘I can’t wait to make you mine, Lorelei.’ I read the text with a naughty smile. That’s Leo. The man I fell in love with via chat. I thought it was dumb to love someone you’ve never met, but look at me now. ‘I can’t wait for you to rip off my underwear.’ I texted and sent. Shivers ran down my spine while waiting for his response. Sexting through casual texts has become a thing I enjoy with him now. I bit my lips as I stared at our chat, anticipating. Just then, someone barged into my room. I put my phone down like I was doing something wrong. It was my mother. She has a worried look on her face. My father and stepmother walked in holding an envelope. I stared at them confused. “Pack your things and leave. You will get married on Thursday.” My father said cruelly. My brows creased and I tried to object but he held out the papers. “You don’t have a say in this Lorelei. I already sold you out.” What is he talking about? How can he arrange my own wedding? I knew I wasn’t my father’s favourite child, but this is next level hate. “Go and live with your husband. He bought you. And darling, there’s no turning back.” My stepmom added with a smile and threw the document on my bed. I picked it up and read the first page. ‘This contract seals the marriage between Ace Salvatore and Lorelei Stanley.’ Ace Salvatore? The man rumoured to be the devil himself.... My phone made a gentle ding and I looked at it. It was Leo. Tears cascaded my eyelids. How can I marry someone when I’m in love withsomeoneelse?

My boyfriend, Simon Hepworth, gets down on one knee for the 66th time. Moved by his persistence, I finally say yes. But on the eve of our wedding, he drops a bombshell on me. He tells me he wants to have a child with his stepsister, Fiona Hepworth. I find it ridiculous and get into a huge fight with him. But I never could've imagined what would come next. On our wedding day, I wait at the altar for three hours, bouquet in my hands, only for him to dismissively tell me that the wedding is postponed. All because he and Fiona have an IVF appointment that very day. "Fiona was abused by her father growing up. She'll never be able to marry," he explains. "I just want to help her fulfill her dream of being a mother. It's just IVF. It's not like we're actually sleeping together. Stop being so sensitive." He then hangs up, leaving me alone at the wedding under the gaze of countless guests and flashing media cameras. The shock sends my father into the ICU. Standing by his bedside, I make a vow. "Dad, you were right. I won't marry Simon. Next week, I'll come home and take over the family business."

Before the wedding, my fiancé, Alpha Jay, stood in front of me. Hesitation flickered in his eyes, but so did hope. “Can you give me a month?” he asked, his voice softer than I’d ever heard it. A month. Time to see if he could patch things up with Linda Manwaring—his ex-girlfriend. His fated mate. “If it works out,” he continued, the words deliberate, like he was convincing himself as much as me, “then it’s the Moon Goddess’s blessing. But if it doesn’t… I’ll come back. I’ll marry you. And I’ll leave her behind—forever.” He meant it. He truly believed this was the honorable thing to do. I didn’t argue. I didn’t cry. Instead, I let a small, knowing smile tug at my lips. “Go ahead,” I said, my voice calm and steady. “Give it a try. Life’s too short for regrets, right?” Relief broke over his face like a wave, as though I’d just untangled him from a chain he hadn’t known how to break. That night, he drove off, lighter than I’d seen him in months. Meanwhile, I packed my bags in silence. No hesitation. No second thoughts. Once I was done, I picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number. “Mom,” I said, my voice even and unwavering. “The wedding’s off. I’m coming home to help you handle the Shadowfang Pack.”

أحببتُ خطيبي الجرّاح أندرو سبع سنوات، وأقمنا ستةً وستين حفل زفاف، لكنه كان في كل مرة يختار إلغاءه بسبب سيلينا. في المرة الأولى، أخطأت سيلينا حين حقنت مريضًا بدواء خاطئ، فطلب مني أن أنتظره حتى يعود، فانتظرت يومًا كاملًا. وفي المرة الثانية، انزلقت سيلينا في الحمّام، وكنا على وشك تبادل خواتم الزواج، فإذا به يتركني بلا تردّد، غير آبه بسخرية الضيوف مني. هكذا واصلتُ إقامة خمسةٍ وستين حفلًا، وفي كل مرة كانت سيلينا تنجح في ابتكار ذريعة لاستدعاء أندرو. وفي المرة الخامسة والستين، قالت إن كلبها يحتضر، وإنها لا تريد العيش وستقفز من السطح. عندها أصيبت أمي بنوبة قلبية من شدّة الغضب، ومع ذلك لم نستطع أن نُبقي أندرو إلى جانبي. بعدها، ركع أندرو أمام عائلتي طالبًا الصفح، مؤكدًا أنه كان يشفق على سيلينا لأنها يتيمة، وأنني كنتُ وسأظل دائمًا حبيبته الوحيدة. منحتُه آخر فرصة... لكنه خيّب أملي مجددًا. وهكذا أغلقت قلبي تمامًا، واخترتُ الانفصال عنه، وانضممتُ إلى منظمة أطباء بلا حدود الدولية. ومنذ ذلك اليوم، لم يعد ثمة داعٍ لأن أراه مرة أخرى.

I beg him to at least save the baby in my womb, but he says to the abductors, "You'd better kill her and her child."

私がは外科医の彼氏アンドリューと七年付き合って、結婚式がもう66回も挙げた。 でも毎回、彼はセレナのために式を中止した。 一回目は、セレナが患者に誤った薬を打った時。 彼は「戻るまで待ってて」と言って、私は一日中待ち続けた。 二回目は、セレナが風呂で転んだ時。 その時ちょうど指輪の交換をしようとしてたのに、彼は一瞬も迷わず私を置いていった。 ゲストたちに笑われても、彼は私のことなんて気にも留めなかった。 私は65回も結婚式を挙げ続けたけど、毎回セレナは理由をつけてアンドリューを呼び出し、彼はその度に私を置いていった。 65回目の式の時、セレナは「犬が死にそうで、私も死にたい。ビルから飛び降りる」と言い出した。 母は怒りで心臓発作を起こしたけど、それでもアンドリューは止まらなかった。 その後、アンドリューは家族全員の前で跪いて謝ってきた。 「セレナは孤児で可哀そうなだけだ。俺が本当に愛してるのはアイビー、君だけだ」って。 私は彼に最後のチャンスをあげた。 でも、やはり彼は私を裏切った。 私は完全にあきらめて、アンドリューと別れることを決めた。 そして国際医療援助チームに参加した。 もう、二度と彼に会う必要なんてない。

I'm already half-blind in my left eye, but Cedric Thompson forces me to donate my right cornea to his childhood sweetheart. Her parents berate me. "She's blind now! It's not like you'll die without one eye's cornea!" Cedric consoles me. "We're only taking the cornea for one eye. It won't affect anything." I'm forcibly placed under anesthesia. I lose all hope in life before my eyes slide shut. I would never have married him if I'd know he would treat me like this. He has no idea I can barely see with my left eye now.

William Parker is a mafia boss. Everyone knows that I'm his weak spot. When I was abducted back in the day, he gave everything he had—including his gun—and ran the risk of being shot to get me back. To keep me from being bullied or mistreated, he's constantly toeing the line between the authorities and the underworld. After I fall pregnant, he's by my side around the clock and doesn't even let my feet touch the ground. Rumor has it that he has a secret lover that he dotes on to no end, but I've never believed it… until she appears before me to challenge me. William slices one of his fingers off to beg for my forgiveness. The very next day, his secret lover throws a pregnancy test in my face. "Will's so desperate to knock me up that he can't keep his hands off me—I can't take it anymore!"

Everyone knew I, Isabella Marino, was Vince Moretti's greatest weakness—the one thing the mafia boss would never tolerate being touched. Years ago, when I was kidnapped, Vince disarmed himself at gunpoint, risking death to get me back, even paying his entire fortune for my ransom. To keep me from harm, he walked a razor's edge, navigating danger at every turn. After I got pregnant, he waited on me hand and foot, barely letting my feet touch the ground. There were rumors that he kept a pampered mistress outside—some woman he spoiled rotten. I never believed them. But then she flaunted herself in front of me. To beg for my forgiveness, Vince cut off his own finger. The next day, that woman slapped her pregnancy test results in my face, sneering, "Vince wanted a baby with me so badly, he just couldn't help himself!" I was already frail. The shock and rage sent me into a miscarriage.

神浜の裏社会では誰もが知っている――黒龍会のトップ、神崎悠人の逆鱗は妻の神崎淑乃であると。 かつて私が誘拐された時、悠人は命を捨てる覚悟で武器を手放し、全財産を投げ出して私を救った。 私を守るために、彼は常に危険の最前線で闘い続けてきた。 妊娠が分かってからはさらに、彼は四六時中私のそばを離れず、私をベッドから降ろすことすら許さなかった。 外では悠人が愛人を囲っているという噂が絶えなかったが、私は決して信じなかった。 しかし、彼が囲っていたその愛人は私の前で騒ぎを起こした。悠人は私の許しを得るために、自らの指を一本切り落とした。 だが翌日、その愛人が悠人との子どもの妊娠検査書を私の顔に突きつけてきた。 「悠人さんがどうしても私との子どもが欲しいって言うから、私も大変なのよ」 元々体の弱かった私は、そのショックで流産してしまったのだ。
