Até que ponto meu marido já me amou um dia? Naquela época, para poder se casar comigo, ele me pediu em casamento noventa e nove vezes. Somente na centésima vez, fui finalmente tocada por sua tenacidade. Tornei-me a Sra. Menezes, invejada por todos em Cidade Solmar. No dia do nosso casamento, dei a ele noventa e nove cupons de perdão. Combinamos que, enquanto esses cupons de perdão não fossem todos usados, eu permaneceria sempre ao seu lado. Em cinco anos de casamento, cada vez que ele saía para encontrar seu antigo amor, um cupom de perdão era usado. Quando ele usou o 97º cupom, ele de repente percebeu que eu havia mudado. Eu não chorava mais, nem implorava para que ele ficasse. Só quando ele perdia a cabeça por sua secretária, encantadora e ingênua, eu perguntava baixinho: — Se você vai ficar com ela, posso usar um cupom de perdão? O homem hesitou por um momento, e uma rara brandura surgiu em seu coração: — Tudo bem, de qualquer forma, só usei uns sessenta e poucos. Pode usar se quiser. Eu assenti com um murmúrio e o deixei ir. Ele não sabia que aquele era o 97º cupom de perdão que usava. Restavam apenas dois dos nossos cupons de perdão.

"The cold-hearted CEO who scares everyone is afraid of losing me?" Grace uttered, her gaze lingering on Evelyn's lips. "Yes, I'm. You don't need to continue your job, you can join my company, Grace." Evelyn cupped her cheeks, slowly taking her lips into a sensual and passionate kiss, pouring all her feelings and love into that kiss. Grace shortly responded to her kiss. "Pearl... That's what they... call me," she moaned loudly when Evelyn unfastened the hook of her bra and caressed her breasts while showering hot kisses all over her shoulders and breasts. "You're my Grace, only mine," Evelyn said between the kisses and pulled that little black panty off her body which was hardly covering her ass. Grace couldn't protest the desires and gave in. The tiny pieces of clothes were the costume of Grace, she was a hot and sexy pole dancer who was famous as 'Pearl'. The way she moved around the pole so skillfully, always made Evelyn feel wet and hot. Until this night, she never dared to come to Grace's room but tonight she was drunk and she wanted nothing but Grace. Maybe after one night with this pole dancer, she would be able to pull her off her mind. It was just a one-night stand for Evelyn but what will happen when she'll offer a job to Grace to become her private dancer?

Elle avait tout pour briller : un talent rare, un avenir prometteur, une lumière que personne ne pouvait ignorer. Mais par amour, elle a tout sacrifié. Pour lui, elle s'est effacée. Pour lui, elle a renoncé à ses rêves. Pendant cinq ans, elle est devenue l'épouse silencieuse, discrète, transparente. Celle qui attend patiemment un regard, un geste, un mot tendre qui ne vient jamais. Il ne l'a jamais vraiment aimée. Elle n'était qu'un réconfort, un visage familier en attendant le retour de l'autre. Quand son ex-petite amie refait surface, il la rejette sans hésitation. « Divorçons. Tu n'as jamais été qu'un substitut. » Mais la douleur lui révèle l'horreur : les « vitamines » qu'il lui donnait chaque jour n'étaient que des pilules contraceptives. Il lui a volé bien plus que son temps. Il lui a volé son choix. Elle part sans un cri, sans une larme. Et des années plus tard, elle renaît. Brillante. Libre. Accomplie. Lui ? Il regrette. Il la cherche. Il veut la reconquérir. Mais comment rattraper celle qu'on a laissée partir… quand elle n'a plus aucune raison de revenir ?

On the day of my wedding anniversary, I was cleaning my house when I found a picture album. As it turned out, my husband had been religiously taking pictures with the girl of his dreams every year on this precise date. He had been doing it since he was forty years old and he was now sixty years old. His hair had progressed from a jet black to a faded white and yet, he kept up the tradition. There was a written message in his handwriting at the back of the picture that read, “Eternal Love.” Since he doesn't love me, I will no longer bother washing his clothes and cooking for him. I will no longer care for his children and grandchildren. I may have foolishly wasted half of my life, but it was not too late to make a change.

With eviction days away and his sister dying, he takes a job at Luna Noir, a secret underground club that pays dancers a fortune. But the moment he steps on stage, Edric realizes Luna Noir is not human and neither are the hungry eyes watching him. His dance awakens something ancient, drawing predators to him… especially Alpha Leon Blackthorn, the cold, ruthless owner of the underground club and Alpha of the Blackthorn Wolves whose wolf reacts violently the instant he sees Edric. Leon sets the rules: Edric dances only for him. No touching. No flirting. No escape. Because Edric belongs to him, whether he understands it or not. But Edric refuses to be controlled. Until rival Alpha Luka Drazan discovers Edric’s dormant power and tries to claim him for a deadly ritual. Leon saves him brutally, then forces Edric into a contract marriage to protect him... and to keep him close. Soon Edric learns the truth: his bloodline carries magic that can break curses or crown kings, and every time Leon touches him, that magic awakens: hot, wild, and dangerously seductive. When Luka uses Edric's ex to kidnaps him to steal that power, Edric finally unleashes the force inside him. He is not prey. He is destiny. Now, with an ancient threat rising and a prophecy whispering his name, Edric must choose: Run from the supernatural world… or rule beside the Alpha willing to burn it down for him. But what he knows is that his power sings every time Leon touches him.

When Jeremiah Jenner, an academician from a research lab, has bombs strapped to him by a malicious criminal, I know that I can save his life by cutting the right wire. But my husband, Callum Johnson, keeps pinning my hand down with all his might. He tells me that I should wait for his crush, Shirley Gibson, to arrive so that she can save the day for once. This was what happened in my previous life. Thanks to Shirley's mistakes, the timer's countdown decreased from ten minutes all the way down to ten seconds. I was the one who had to shove her away and cut the triggering wire based on my experience. That was how I saved Jeremiah's life. Shirley, on the other hand, was so frightened that she passed out on the spot. She became the laughingstock of the entire squad, which led to her leaving the squad due to depression. Callum didn't say a single word. Instead, he dispatched me to the border as a spy. On the day my mission was supposed to be wrapped up, Callum got in contact with me via a secretive channel. Then, he leaked my coordinates to my enemies on purpose. "Couldn't you just let Shirley play the hero for once? Since you like showing off that much, then you might as well stay as a heroine forever in this place!" The next thing I knew, I felt a bullet piercing through my chest. My enemies had me surrounded immediately before burning me alive, resulting in my death. As I breathed my last breath, I saw Callum embracing Shirley while watching me being licked hungrily by the flames from a long distance away. There was nothing but satisfaction in his eyes. When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the scene where the bombs are set to be removed. Slowly, I put down the pliers in my hand. Fine. I won't steal Shirley's thunder this time. I'd like to see how the golden couple can maintain their bombastic, passionate relationship in a place that's about to be blown apart.
