I stumbled across an encrypted folder on my husband's phone, filled with photos of a little girl I'd never seen before. From newborn to first steps, sorted by month—two full years' worth. But the child in those photos wasn't our daughter. When I confronted him, he said she was a girl named Rosie from the children's home I sponsored. The director sent growth updates, and he'd been saving them for me. I never imagined that my warm, thoughtful husband would use my charity to spin a lie. Because every single photo was geotagged to the apartment complex next to his office. And the children's home was on the other side of the city. I didn't call him out right then. Because I wanted to know whose child she really was.

Como a companheira predestinada de Loki Whalen, Alfa da alcateia Darkshadow, eu sempre acreditei que seria sua única Luna por toda a vida. Mas hoje, essa mentira se despedaça. No registro oficial da alcateia, meu nome foi riscado como sua companheira. Em seu lugar está Maya Hemmings, a mulher que ele dizia ter deixado a alcateia anos atrás e que, na verdade, sempre foi seu verdadeiro amor. A verdade é cruel. Nesse instante, a dor excruciante de uma rejeição de vínculo dilacera minha alma. É então que percebo que a fraqueza que senti no último ano não vinha da dor de não conseguir engravidar, mas das consequências do nosso vínculo rompido. Loki precisa da minha poderosa linhagem sanguínea para gerar um herdeiro e salvar a alcateia da praga conhecida como Blight. O que ele não sabe é que, ontem, o curandeiro me disse que estou grávida dos gêmeos que ele sempre sonhou em ter. Já que o amor dele é uma mentira, eu não tenho mais motivos para ficar. Agora, partirei levando comigo seus verdadeiros herdeiros.

My Mafia husband, Alessio, was sleeping with his stepsister, Sophia. In the car, the study, the bathroom, even on the dining table, they left evidence of their affair everywhere. "Sophia, don't worry. Once I solidify my position in the family, I'll give you everything." "Blair… she's just a tool to secure my position." In our eight years of marriage, he had whispered the sweetest words in the world to me. Now, his devotion was worthless. I didn't cry or cause a scene. Instead, I made a deal on the black market. In two weeks, Blair Greco would disappear from this world for good.

No dia em que fomos registrar o casamento, meu namorado Eder Leite mandou que me expulsassem do cartório civil e entrou de mãos dadas com sua amiga de infância. Ele olhou para mim com indiferença: — O filho da Rosana precisa ser registrado. Depois que nos divorciarmos, eu me casarei com você. Todos achavam que eu, tão apaixonada, aceitaria esperar por ele mais um mês sem reclamar. Afinal, eu já o esperava há sete anos. Mas naquela mesma noite, aceitei o arranjo da família e fui para o exterior em um casamento combinado. Desapareci do mundo dele. Três anos depois, voltei ao Brasil acompanhando meu marido para visitar a família. Por causa de um compromisso de última hora, meu marido pediu que a filial brasileira da empresa enviasse alguém para me buscar. Jamais imaginei que reencontraria Eder, desaparecido da minha vida há três anos. — Já chega dessa birra, está na hora de voltar... O filho da Rosana vai começar a frequentar o jardim de infância, e você ficará responsável por buscá-lo e levá-lo.

Hace seis años, Noelia Bustos hizo de todo para enamorar al muchacho más guapo de la facultad de Derecho, Marcos Leiva. Después de tres meses de relación, ella lo dejó así nada más. —Me cansé de acostarme contigo —le dijo con total tranquilidad. Seis años después de que terminaron, se volvieron a encontrar. Pero, todo era distinto. Antes, ella era la niña rica y él, el muchacho pobre. Ahora, él era un peso pesado en un bufete de primer nivel, mientras que ella cargaba con deudas, una hija y un pasado de violencia doméstica. Cuando decidió separarse de su marido, Marcos apareció como su abogado para el divorcio. —Todo esto te lo buscaste tú sola —le dijo él, con una sonrisa burlona. Noelia sabía que Marcos la odiaba con toda el alma, e intentó que no volviera a pasar nada entre ellos. Al final, el día que ella se iba, con una sonrisa, le deseó: —Que tengas una feliz boda. Pero él cruzó mar y tierra para buscarla. En el único hostal de un pueblo pequeño, en una habitación a oscuras, Marcos la acorraló y, con los ojos rojos, la abrazó fuerte. —¿En serio fuiste capaz de dejarme otra vez?

Alpha Jakob gave me the grandest bonding ceremony five years ago. I became the world's most envied woman. Five years later, I received a provocative voice message from Jakob's first love, Molly. "I just got back to the pack, and all I needed to do was to play coy with Jakob, and he came right over. Tonight, he originally prepared blue fireworks for me. I don't like blue, but I decided to give it to you since I never liked to waste. You can use it during your anniversary." The day during our fifth mate bond anniversary, I looked at the blue fireworks blooming in the night sky, quietly waiting in my seat as I faced the empty seat opposite me. Molly's provocation came again. A photo of her having a candlelight dinner with Jakob. I didn't cry, and simply submit the application to terminate my mate bond with Jakob to the pack's Elder Council. At this time, my personal assistant told me she saw someone had applied for a grand bonding ceremony. "Luna Cynthia, the bonding ceremony is prepared by Molly for herself and Alpha Jakob. It will take place seven days later. Do you wish to stop it?" "There's no need to. If this is what Jakob wants, I'll make their wish come true." Jakob was still promoting how deep his love for me was, saying that I was the woman he loved the most in his life. But he didn't know that seven days later, I would leave the pack and never return again. That night, he collapsed.

I suffered from a skin condition. I scratched myself in the library, and millions of netizens spammed my private inbox. Only then did I find out that a girl accused me of harassing her. I took out my diagnostic report to defend my innocence, but the girl cried pitifully. “You really know how to make an excuse for yourself! How could someone innocent like me frame you?” Even my elder brother spoke up for her! “Why would she frame you of all people? Can’t you take a look at yourself?” I could not bear the cyberbullying, and I died from a sudden heart attack the day before the court hearing. My grandfather could not accept my death, and he collapsed into a coma. My parents cut off ties with my brother before they committed suicide at home. Meanwhile, the girl did not just successfully make her way into graduate school, but she also dug open my grave and used my ashes to make fireworks. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day when she had asked me to reserve a seat in the library.
