Ai Oshi No Ko

Au moment où Léa Laurent a fait une fausse couche, Mathis Bernard célébrait le retour de son premier amour. Malgré trois années de dévouement et de présence à ses côtés, il les a réduits à dire qu’elle n’était que la domestique et la cuisinière de la maison. Léa a perdu tout espoir et a décidé de divorcer. Tous les amis du milieu savaient que Léa était connue pour être collante, impossible de s’en débarrasser. « Je parie qu’en une journée, Léa reviendra sagement. » Mathis a répondu : « Un jour ? Trop long, au plus une demi-journée et elle reviendra d’elle-même. » Au moment du divorce, Léa a décidé de ne plus revenir en arrière ; elle s’est lancée dans une nouvelle vie, a repris sa carrière abandonnée et a commencé à rencontrer de nouvelles personnes. Les jours ont passé, et Mathis n’a plus jamais revu Léa à la maison. Mathis a soudain paniqué. Mais lors d’un sommet professionnel, il a enfin vu Léa entourée par une foule. Il s’est précipité vers elle sans hésiter, « Léa, tu n’as pas encore fini de faire la tête ? » Arthur Perrot s’est brusquement interposé devant Léa, l’a repoussé d’une main, dégageant une aura glaciale et intimidante, « Ne touche pas à ta belle-sœur. » Mathis ne l’avait jamais aimée ; mais quand il est tombé amoureux d’elle, elle n’avait déjà plus de place pour lui à ses côtés.

Depuis que j'étais petite, je savais que mon futur compagnon serait l'un des deux candidats à l'Alpha : Michaud ou Rivière. Même avec toute leur fierté d'Alpha, je n'ai jamais douté de cet avenir. Les anciens de la meute disaient toujours qu'il était naturel pour les candidats à l'Alpha de se concentrer sur la force et le contrôle de la meute. Ma mère, Lydia, m'a même dit qu'ils se battaient pour être les vainqueurs de chaque bataille brutale, afin de pouvoir me donner, à moi, leur Luna, l'honneur ultime... Jusqu'à ce que moi et Yasmine, cette Oméga errante qu'ils avaient recueillie, tombions dans une embuscade et soyons capturées par nos vieux ennemis : la meute d'Ombre de Nuit. Michaud et Rivière n'avaient assez d'Herbe de Pétale de Lune pour l'une d'entre nous. Et ils ont tous deux choisi de la donner à Yasmine. Pour me sauver dans cet incendie, j'ai forcé une transformation. La poussée d'énergie a été trop forte, la chaleur m'a tordu la pommette, et juste comme ça, j'ai été défigurée. Ils m'ont sortie de là comme s'ils ne se souvenaient de moi qu'après coup, puis j'ai regardé ces deux futurs Alphas pleurer sur Yasmine, qui n'avait pas une égratignure sur elle. « Grâce à la Déesse de la Lune, Yasmine, tu es vivante. » « Une fois que nous aurons déterminé qui sera le nouvel Alpha de Bois Noir, on te donnera la place la plus honorable, juste en dessous de la Luna, Yasmine, ne t'inquiète pas, nous te donnerons le meilleur de tout ce que notre meute a, et nous nous assurerons que tu ne souffres plus jamais. » « Yasmine, tu es la vraie Luna dans nos cœurs. » Quand j'ai repris mes esprits, j'ai rompu pour de bon ce ridicule lien de compagnon. Des promesses vides et un destin piétiné ? J'en avais assez. Mais après mon départ, ils sont restés près de ma grotte tous les jours, me suppliant de revenir.

When I went to the hospital for a checkup to see if my fourth IVF attempt had succeeded, I saw Daniel Cooper, who was supposed to be on a business trip. He was carefully supporting a young, beautiful woman as they walked out of the obstetrics and gynecology department. Her belly was unmistakably round, and she looked like she was ready to give birth at any moment. Daniel froze for just a second before stepping in front of her, shielding her from me. He explained, "Abby, the Cooper family needs an heir to carry on the lineage. Once the baby is born, everything will go back to the way it was." I heard the certainty in his words. So I smiled, nodded, and quietly tucked my test results away as he stared at me in surprise. On the day she gave birth, I left the divorce papers on the kitchen table and walked out of his life for good.

It's my wedding day. However, Julian Lancaster shoves me aside when he receives a call from Vivienne Hayes. "I'm sorry, honey. Vivi has an upset stomach—I need to bring her some medication for that."

I chase after Dean Wagner for five years while Graham Ashford chases after me for seven. When Dean marries Emily Caldwell, I finally say yes to being Graham's girlfriend. Graham is over the moon. He treats me like I'm everything to him, like he'd do whatever it takes just to make me happy. But Graham doesn't believe in marriage. Even when our daughter turns four, he still hasn't married me. He won't even let her call him "Dad". One night, I overhear him joking around with his buddies. "Your daughter's already four. You still aren't bringing your wife and kid home to meet your parents?" Graham taps his knuckles on the table and laughs. "You know why I got with Nora and had a kid with her. I just want to make Emily jealous. "Nora's easy to fool. She won't ever leave me, even if I never bring her or the kid home." He thinks he has me all figured out, but he doesn't. I turn and leave without a word, then plan to leave him for good. A man like that doesn't deserve my love. And he sure as well doesn't deserve to be my daughter's father.

"Mom, Dad. I've changed my mind. I'm willing to go back to Bimern and marry Mr. Coleman, even if he's in a coma." I keep it a secret from Frederick Kirby, my boyfriend of seven years. I'm going ahead and arranging a wedding with someone else. Lennon Downey, Frederick and I grew up together. I had fallen in love with Frederick when I was a teenager, while Lennon was always like an older brother to me. We are close, and we've always been that way. That is, until the three of us went on a trip and got caught in a flash flood. Florence Cooper, the fake heiress, stole the credit for saving their lives and even lied that I left them behind to save myself. Since then, they've taken her side in everything. They've even hurt me for her. I cried, fought, and tried to explain over and over again. I thought that they would see her for who she really is one day. However, they never did. All I got in return was betrayal, again and again. I'm done. I just want to leave. I want to disappear from their lives and never, ever see them again.

Sa edad na 32 ay hindi pa naranasan ni Andrea ang magkaroon ng boyfriend. In short, siya ay NBSB o No Boyfriend Since Birth. Hindi naman siya kapangitan ngunit napakailap ng pagkatataon sa kanya. May nagawa ba siyang malaking kasalanan sa kanyang past life? Sa edad niya ay hindi na siya umaasa pa na may lalaki na magmamahal sa kanya ngunit gusto niya na magkaroon ng kahit isang anak man lang. Puwede naman na magkaroon ng anak na walang asawa kaya naisip niya maghanap ng sperm donor. Hindi artificial insemination ang gagawin kundi natural method. Sa kalagitnaan ng paghahanap niya ay nakilala niya si Martin na isang guwapong bilyonaryo. Unang pumasok sa isip niya na perfect match ang binata para sa kanya ngunit ang problema lang ay hindi siya nito gusto. Mapapayag kaya ito ni Andrea sa nais niyang mangyari? Paano kung hindi? Itutuloy pa ba niya ang paghahanap ng sperm donor o ititigil na lang at tatanggapin na lang na kailanma'y hindi siya magkaroon ng asawa't anak?

On my way to the bank, I stumbled across a post: [What's the most shameful thing you've done behind your partner's back?] One comment stood out: [I secretly married my first love, and my girlfriend keeps dumping money into our joint account like an idiot. She actually thinks I'm saving for a house. There's already sixty-seven grand in there. Once she hits eighty, I'm taking it all!] The flood of likes made my stomach twist. I pulled up my account balance. Sixty-seven grand. Not a penny more, not a penny less. So, my boyfriend secretly married his ex.
