And Many More

“I never betrayed you!” Cassandra’s voice trembled as she spoke. “Not once—not ever—” “Then whose child did you give birth to?” The Alpha, Alaric Drayden, cut in coldly, each word heavy with condemnation. The woman lying weak on the hospital bed flinched at the cruelty in his tone. “Enough. I don’t need your excuses, Cassandra.” Tears streamed down her cheeks, unstoppable. “No, my Alpha. I swear—I never betrayed you—” “I, Alaric Drayden, Alpha of the SilverFang Pack, hereby sever the bond between us. From this moment forward, no tie of fate binds us, Cassandra. I reject you as my Luna for the treachery you’ve committed.” Cassandra shook her head in disbelief, her voice breaking. “No! No! You can’t do this to me, my Alpha!” *** Betrayed by her husband. Stolen from by her own half-sister. Cast out by her pack. That was the fate everyone had wished upon Cassandra Vale, the fallen Luna of SilverFang. But a true wolf never truly dies. Five years later, Cassandra returned—stronger, sharper, her elder blood awakened and ready to shake the entire werewolf world. With the Alpha who once saved her—Orion Caldrex—at her side, she would face the conspiracies of her family, the battle for the Luna throne, and a war between packs that threatened to shatter the balance of power. Betrayal had remade her. Fate demanded her rise. And this time… nothing would stop Cassandra Vale. Not even destroying those who once cast her aside—including Alaric Drayden, her former Alpha. But when every truth finally comes to light…would Alaric still be standing at her side?

On the day they're scheduled for a pre-marriage medical checkup, she waits for him at the hospital from day to night. Yet, he's busy throwing a celebration for his new secretary. The secretary shares a social media update and tags Yvonne in it. The update comes with a photo of a diamond ring from Jared and a suggestive caption. Yvonne doesn't cause a fuss. She likes the update, quits her job, and goes home for a blind date. Jared is unfazed. He's sure she won't actually leave him. "I'll just give her the cold shoulder for a few days to teach her a lesson. She'll be back soon enough." However, the days pass, and Yvonne doesn't return. Jared loses his cool. For the first time ever, he submits to Yvonne. "Have you had enough of this tantrum? Come back if you still want to marry me. This is your last chance!" "Mr. Ford, Ms. Jamison has already met someone else on a blind date." Later, Yvonne shares a photo of her marriage certificate on her social media. Jared, who has always been arrogant and aloof, loses his mind. He kneels outside her house in the rain for three days and nights. "Please come back to me, Yvonne!" The door opens, and a man clad in nothing but a towel around his waist emerges. He says hoarsely, "My wife has fallen asleep from her exhaustion. Please leave, Mr. Ford."

Tahu rasanya bertahun dalam ikatan halal tapi tak dicintai? Dia menikahiku karena pelarian, kemudian meninggalkanku begitu saja saat kekasihnya telah menjanda, pun saat bertahun diri ini menunggu cintanya. Aku Mentari, istri seorang dokter jenius dan ternama, Mas Rian. Kalau ada yang bertanya siapa yang dicintai Mas Rian? Jawabannya sudah pasti, tentu bukan aku. Dia menikahiku karena kekasihnya yang seprofesi memilih meninggalkannya demi karir dan lelaki lain. Setelah enam bulan pernikahan, Mas Rian baru menyentuhku, itupun sambil menyebut nama wanita pujaannya. Dan mulai dari situ, setiap dia mendatatangiku nama Dokter Juwita tanpa pernah absen diejanya. Sungguh sesak luar biasa. Meski demikian, aku tetap menyimpan harap untuknya. Karena selain Mas Rian memenuhi semua kebutuhanku secara berlebih, juga ada anak yang membuat kian subur rasa ini. "Ini bukan salahku, tapi takdir yang memang harus berlaku," ucap Mas Rian tanpa dosa apalagi meminta maaf sebagai kata perpisahan. Duh ... Ada yang patah tapi bukan ranting. Ada yang merembes tapi bukan darah. Sebegitu sakitnya mencintai dalam pengabaian? Sebegitu perihnya berharap dalam ketidak perdulian? Namun, tak mampu untuk berpaling. Hiks .... Belum genap sebulan kepergian Mas Rian, Bapak menghadap ke Ilahi karena stres mengetahui kehancuran rumah tanggaku. Lengkaplah sudah penderitaan ini. Entah kenapa suatu hari, Mas Rian memaksa mengambil putra semata wayang kami, Abram. Padahal dia tahu pasti hanya anak itu penemang sepi dan pengobat laraku. Aku seperti sedang menyaksikan drama korea perpisahan antara ibu dan anak, tersebab kalah di persidangan dalam perebutan hak asuh. Cuman bedanya, di sini aku tak jadi penonton atau penikmat, melainkan pemeran utama. Ternyata berdobel-dobel sesak yang ditimbulkannya. Andai tak punya malu, mungkin aku akan histeris juga selayak sang aktris menghayati skenario. Melihat air mata tanpa dosa putraku berjatuhan akibat keegoisan papanya, perlindungan seorang ibu berontak di jiwaku. Ya, aku harus berjuang, meski sampai titik darah penghabisan dan berakhir tumbang tak dikenang.

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.

After I, Rosalie Ricci, was stood up 17 times, the mafia don, Daniel Marino, finally holds the perfect engagement banquet for me. In our second year together, we are ready to get married. But every single time, he has an excuse to hold our engagement off. He says he's busy with work, the timing isn't right yet, or that he isn't quite ready. I never blame him because I love him.
