Oliver Harding and I are on our way to get a divorce when a truck rams into our car, making us turn turtle. Before I lose consciousness, I hear him say, "If I get a second chance at life, I'll definitely accept Zara's confession. Living a life of excitement with her is what I truly want." When I open my eyes again, I'm taken back to the day I got engaged. As in my past life, Zara Cox stands before Oliver with a bouquet and asks him whether he wants to be with her. He doesn't even spare me a glance as he drops to one knee before her. He holds out a ring and says, "I love you, Zara. Will you marry me?" Brilliant. He must have been reborn, too. I give them my blessings, and he and Zara live the exciting life he wants. But later, he falls to his knees before me. Tears stream down his face as he asks whether I can marry him again.

While inspecting my company’s cold-chain operations, my wife, Mandy Snow, and the college boy I’d been sponsoring suddenly vanished. As I passed the cabinet storing the research supplies, a stream of floating comments suddenly flashed before my eyes. “That was way too close! Jeff Miller almost caught them. Good thing Mandy reacted fast and dragged her boy toy into the storage cabinet.” “But that cabinet is about to be locked up and shipped to the Antarctic research station. Are those two trying to turn themselves into ice sculptures?” I froze. My wife was cheating on me right under my nose? I was just about to pull open the cabinet door when my wife’s assistant hurried over and forced a smile, blocking my way. “Mr. Miller, the seal on this cabinet was just waxed and hasn’t dried yet. Careful, or you’ll get your hands dirty.” The floating comments appeared again. “That was so close! The assistant’s pretty sharp. Once the female lead gets out, she totally owes him a car.” “No wonder she’s the lucky heroine. She always gets out of trouble. I seriously can’t wait to watch her sweet romance with her boy toy.” Looking at the comments in front of me, I let out a cold laugh. “These are critical supplies for the research team. To make sure nothing goes wrong, seal the cabinet right now.” “Go get a welder. Weld the door shut.” The assistant froze, and so did the floating comments. “What the hell? This evil supporting male character is brutal. The two people inside aren’t wearing a thing.” “Help! If the door gets welded shut, the male and female leads are going to drift at sea for a month and freeze into specimens!”

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.

Dans ma vie précédente, le jour où ma sœur et moi avons participé au rituel de sélection des partenaires de l'Alliance des Sorcières, j'ai sauvé un prince vampire en détresse. Par gratitude, le prince, après son retour au sein de son clan, a immédiatement annoncé que je serais sa future épouse. Un an plus tard, j'ai donné naissance à un descendant sang-pur, l'unique héritier de tout le clan vampire. Le prince était fou de joie. Le jour de son couronnement, il a scellé un pacte de sang avec moi, faisant de moi sa reine éternelle. Dès lors, j'étais vénérée par toutes les races. Ma sœur, quant à elle, a choisi d'épouser un puissant chef loup-garou, devenant l'une de ses nombreuses maîtresses, la moins remarquable de toutes. Elle est devenue follement jalouse de moi et, lors d'une fête de pleine lune des sorcières, elle m'a poussée dans un abîme sans fond, provoquant ma mort. Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux, ma sœur, le jour du rituel de sélection, s'est précipitée vers l'endroit où le prince vampire était en détresse. J'ai su qu'elle aussi avait revécu. Mais elle ignorait qu'il était facile de devenir l'épouse du prince. Gagner son cœur et porter son enfant, en revanche, était aussi difficile que d'atteindre le paradis.

Era la prometida de Ian Chávez, conocido como el "Príncipe Cisne", ofreció su posición de Primer Bailarín para casarse conmigo. Él, tan arrogante y solitario, sin embargo, ofreció la más absoluta sumisión en el escenario a mi coreografía de "La Corona Eterna". Tres años de estudio en París después, a mi regreso, descubrí que esa bailarina suplente, cuya espalda se parecía a la mía, ya se había adueñado de nuestro salón de ensayos privado. En la fiesta de bienvenida, Ian abandonó a los patrocinadores para correr detrás de la suplente, que lloraba. Tras el terciopelo del telón, escuché las palabras tiernas que nunca me había dirigido a mí: —Yamina, al principio te elegí porque eras su sombra, solo buscaba un sustituto. —Pero eres tan diferente, tu coreografía me embriaga, incluso más que la suya. —Solo asegurémonos de que ella no lo sepa antes de la función de despedida de “La Corona Eterna”. Desde el salón de ensayos llegaron gemidos sofocados y esa frase: —Te daré incluso mi posición de Primer Bailarín. Y justo allí, donde él una vez tomó mis manos y juró que Yo, Estrella López, sería su única alma gemela para toda la vida. Di la vuelta y me fui. De vuelta en el camerino y llamé al Sr. Díaz, su mayor rival. —Director Díaz, acepto el contrato para cambiar de compañía. Y por favor, prepáreme un regalo. Que la función de despedida de Ian se convierta en el mayor escándalo que el mundo del arte haya visto.

Dans un royaume ravagé par la guerre et la famine, nous n’avons qu’une solution pour survivre : offrir des tributs au Roi Dragon, cette créature mi-homme, mi-dragon, que nous craignons et vénérons. Chaque année, une jeune fille est choisie et envoyée au sommet de la montagne sacrée. On dit qu’aucune d’entre nous n’est jamais revenue. Je m’appelle Ayla, une orpheline rebelle aux yeux d’or, et cette année, c’est moi qui suis désignée comme le prochain tribut. Au lieu d’être dévorée comme je le croyais, je découvre un roi solitaire, tourmenté par une malédiction ancestrale. Le roi dragon ne s’attendait pas à rencontrer une humaine aussi farouche que moi... ni à ce que je devienne l’unique flamme capable de briser sa malédiction.

I had been married to Natasha Bates for ten years, and not once did she ever join me for our family's Independence Day cookout. This year, on the night before the celebration, I finally gathered the courage to ask if she wanted to come. She scoffed and said, "What are you, stuck in the past? Who even celebrates the Fourth with a family dinner anymore?" Yet that very evening, I saw a social media post of Natasha with her male best friend, Stanley Rogers. They were quite intimate in the picture, and the caption read: [True happiness is celebrating Independence Day with your bestie!] I commented back: [Hope you two lovebirds make it official soon.] Stanley did not hold back. He messaged me a bunch of intimate photos of the two of them. Then, he added, [You're just a leech living off his wife. What right do you have to question anything about Nattie?] Everyone always thought I was a gold-digger living off Natasha's success. However, they all forgot that I was the sole major shareholder of the company. This time, I’m done staying silent.

“WAKE UP, DANIELA!” The death warning, yet rather a call that Daniela dreamed about after walking up in the series of chances, greed, sacrifices, and the seven deadly sins, and from an inevitable chance to turn back into time and run into the loop of space and dimension. To her life that was surrounded with lies, blessed fate, but curse destiny she is entwined to save the person who is long dead from the present that she never had in the first place. Now being stunned by the life she never dreams of having, she runs toward the series of miseries behind the hidden books of the reincarnated blood she bares. “Death reincarnated, that is your world and your book.” To the chances that were led by greed, longing or hope, will the past that alters by the son of darkness, will long be able to vanish?

Will the world they are walking that is filled with the unknown they only knew will lead them to the truth of who is the clone from the original? Can she solve the puzzle of the first book in her world that revolves in the mystery of a tarot deck? From the series of reincarnation and dimension can she solve the real mystery of ‘Who is the real dead one?’

Hayden Baxter's sidepiece comes up to me and throws yet another tantrum. "I love Hayden too much. Can't you let me have him?" Hayden sits quietly on one side but texts me, "Just say yes and humor her for a bit." I do as I am told, then wordlessly begin to pack up my stuff so I can move out of the home I share with Hayden. On my way out, I hear his friends jesting, "Elena is surprisingly obedient. Does this mean she'll abort her baby if you ask her to, Hayden?" Hayden raises a brow, looking nonchalant. "Want to place a bet on it? "I bet she'd whine and throw a fit at the hospital entrance in a week, only to give in and do as she's told." I don't argue. Instead, I quietly tap on my conversation with someone else. "Will you marry me?" "Yes."
