After Marrying My Boss

My body drifted in the river for five years before a fishing enthusiast reeled it in. Even though the forensic pathologist managed to reconstruct my face from when I was alive through craniofacial reconstruction technology, the hatred my brother had for me remained as strong as ever. "That better be her body! She has been on the run for five years! Even in death, she doesn't deserve pity! In fact, it simply is a disgrace to have a murderer like her as the daughter of the Clarke family!" he hissed. Everyone thought he despised me with every fiber of his being. Yet, as he spoke, his entire body trembled. Who would have guessed that the distress call I made to him five years ago would end up becoming the main factor that hastened my death?

Walang muwang na dumalo si Klaire Limson sa isang bachelorette party kasama ang kanyang stepsister at mga kaibigan; isang huling gabi ng saya bago siya tuluyang magpakasal sa kanyang nobyo. Ngunit ang dapat sanang maging masayang alaala ay nauwi sa isang pagkakamaling hindi niya inaasahan. Nagising na lamang siya sa isang hotel room, wala ni anino ng alaala kung paano siya nakarating doon—at higit sa lahat, kasama ang isang lalaking hindi niya kilala. Mabilis siyang tumakas, umaasang maililigtas pa ang lahat. Pero huli na ang lahat. Pagsapit niya sa kanilang tahanan, naghihintay na ang galit ng kanyang ama. Kanselado ang kasal. Tinakwil siya ng pamilya. At ang dating hinaharap na puno ng pangarap... tuluyan nang naglaho, lalo pa’t dumating ang isang hindi inaasahang souvenir nang gabing ‘yon. Buntis siya… Sa hindi inaasahang pangyayari, nakilala ni Klaire ang lalaking nakasama niya nang gabing ‘yon. Walang iba kung hindi ang Tito ng kanyang ex-fiancee. Si Rage De Silva. Ano na lang ang gagawin niya kung ninanais nitong panagutan ang batang nasa sinapupunan niya? Paano kung ang lalaking kinamumuhian niya ay yayain siyang magpakasal?

The third year after I got diagnosed with intermittent amnesia, I happened to overhear my husband, Lucien Rook, chatting with his friends. “Lucien, Anneliese loses her memories every couple of months, and you keep making us impersonate you to live with her. Aren’t you afraid that one of us might take it all the way one day?” “What’s there to be afraid of?” Lucien laughed uninhibitedly, swishing the alcohol in his glass. “Annie is cold and distant. As long as you guys don’t tempt her, she won’t have any such desires. “But I’m warning you now. You can act all you want, but you can’t ever sleep with her. Once I’ve had my fun, I will be going home to her.” For three years, every time I lost my memories, Lucien was not the one who would hold my hand and embrace me, or even sleep with me in the same bed. In three years, I had lost my memories nine times, and nine men had pretended to be my husband. What they did not know was that my amnesia had been cured two years ago.

Lahat ay kayang gawin ni Chartlotte Fuentes, na kahit sariling katawan ay kaya n'yang ibenta, para lamang gumaling ang kanyang inang may sakit na leukemia. Kasama na roon ang alok ni Alexaiver Martinez. Nagkrus ang landas nila ni Alexaiver Martinez sa kinuha n'yang raket na stag party ng kaibigan ni Alexaiver na ikakasal. Inalok siya ng binata maging personal assistant at sa condo ni Alexaiver siya titira. Purely lust, no string attached. No love. Bawal din malaman ng ibang tao. Kahit magulang pa ng binata at magulang ni Chartlotte. In short, lihim na relasyon lamang ang gusto ng binata. Subalit sa tagal nilang nagsama ni Alexaiver, hindi napigilan ni Chartlotte mahulog at umibig sa binata. Sino nga ba ang hindi maiinlove rito? Siya lang naman si Alexaiver Martinez, the elusive and most handsome in showbiz entertainment industry. Isa sa anak ng business tycoon na nagmamay-ari ng isa sa sikat na TV station ng bansa. Kaya nagpasya si Chartlotte na iwanan ang binata kahit na ito ang magiging dahilan ng kabiguan niya.

In the three years since I became Zander's mate, I've tried to kill myself ninety-nine times. Kidnapped by a rival pack in my youth, years of torture nearly destroyed me. I clawed my way back to the Crescent Moon Pack, only to find my place had been taken by an adopted daughter, Vivian. My Beta parents doted on her, and my fated mate—the Alpha himself—had eyes only for her. I begged them, told them my kidnapping and my suicide attempts weren't accidents, but all I ever heard was: "Ember, you're delusional. You just wandered off and got lost." "You tried to drown yourself in the river." The people closest to me, and not one of them believed me. Until the ninety-ninth time. Another "suicide." When I woke up three days later, I rubbed my aching head. My eyes were vacant, my own gaze foreign to me. I had forgotten who I was, forgotten the humiliation I'd endured, forgotten the desperate girl who had thrown away her dignity for a scrap of her Alpha's affection. At the pack ceremony, while everyone waited for me to fawn pathetically over Zander, a single tear slid down my cheek for reasons I couldn't comprehend. I wiped it away and, under the shocked stares of the entire pack, announced calmly: "Zander," my voice was steady. "I don't love you anymore. So I, Ember of the Crescent Moon Pack, hereby reject you as my mate." "This little act again?" Zander sneered, his eyes glinting with the same casual contempt they always held for me. But he didn't know. This time, I was leaving him for good. It wasn't until I vanished completely that the ones who'd never believed me were the ones who truly went mad.

The ninety-ninth time my Alpha mate blocked our mind-link, I was in the final stages of Wolf Spirit Decay. I dragged my broken body into the Council Hall. The cold marble steps grated against the soles of my feet, and with every step, a tearing pain ripped through my chest. "I am here to petition to leave the pack." The council official studied my pale, thin form with a pitying gaze and asked softly, "Are you certain, Miss? You would be giving up the pack's protection." Since childhood, my wolf has been unstable, making me frail. Ever since my father brought home my adopted sister, Lydia, when I was ten, my parents have treated me like a disgrace to the family. Despite being his marked mate for years, Caleb never promised me a Luna ceremony. He rarely even took me to pack gatherings. As a result, hardly anyone in the pack knew who I was. "It doesn't matter," I said, my voice calm despite the effort. "I will be dead in three days."

I'm going to die. In the eyes of the underworld, I was a sinner. My death would be a final, cursed dishonor. But even with the Ricci family in ruins, I was still the noble Principessa. The Ricci pride in my blood would not allow my body to fall into the hands of a rival Family. Humiliation. Desecration. Photographs flaunted for all to see. I didn't much care if my body became a trophy to celebrate their victory. But if the world knew the last of the Ricci bloodline had become a plaything for our enemies, it would be a disgrace to the entire Family. After weighing my options, I dragged my broken body to the turf of my ex-boyfriend, the man I'd left seven years ago, now the Don of the Falcone family. "After I die, I need you to handle my body." He was silent for a long moment, then let out a cold laugh. "Of course. I'll sink you in the Hudson River with a tombstone tied to your feet, engraved with the name of your filthy family."

"We can't be together, Carter." I sighed deeply as I tried to talk some sense into him, "You of all people should know that" "Says who?" He argued "Me. Everyone. And even the contract we signed" I countered and when I realized he wasn't taking my words seriously, I parted my lips to speak but he beat me to it. "Fuck the contract, Hailey. Fuck it all" He said in a breath and pulled me in for a maddening kiss. ******** After getting betrayed and killed by her mate and step sister, Hailey is fortunately reborn.
