Barely Legal

I saw a post while scrolling through my social media. [Adult male merman for sale. Hard to tame. Letting go for cheap.] I commented, [I'll take him.] The seller asked for ten thousand dollars and promised doorstep delivery. When I opened the package, the merman was nowhere near 160 pounds. He barely weighed over a hundred. His skin was sallow, his ribs visible beneath it, and his tail fin was rotting at the edges. I messaged the seller, [I want a refund.] The message failed to go through.

My grandfather is hit by a car, and his skull is shattered. I take the driver to court. That's when I find out my husband, Stuart Creed, who was supposedly abroad on a business trip, is suddenly at the hospital. He looks at me coldly and snaps, "Do you have any idea how important Maddy’s valedictorian announcement is? Her future can't be ruined by some car accident! Drop the case right now, or I'll cut off all your credit cards and have your grandfather kicked out of the VIP ward!" He slams the door and storms out. Before that, he snarls, "Come home when you agree. Until then, forget about calling yourself Mrs. Creed!" While I'm out desperately trying to gather money for my grandfather's surgery, a team of lawyers contacts me. Turns out the patent my grandfather once authorized to Creed Group has expired. And now, I'm the new legal owner.

Vivienne Crane was a billionaire and vampire queen looking for a way to make synthetic blood for vampires in the Imperial Colony which had been once an old city where vampires fed on humans for blood. She reversed the state so the city became naturally kind for the humans to live. Love was never in her mind as she was so sure that being a vampire queen meant legal for her to be alone forever, until she met Dr. Lazlo Howard who would help her formulate the synthetic blood for the vampires. A constant temptation was all about him. There was something ancient about the scientist that Vivienne's crystal ball couldn't see what behind his genius brain and drop-dead gorgeous feature was. Curiosity could kill you. But it wouldn't matter if you were the vampire queen. Especially when you found out he was also an incubus, the perfect lover for a vampire queen. Will Vivienne be able to resist falling for her handsome colleague? Or she'll be wondering forever after their one night stand?

– Sra. Moura, após uma análise minuciosa, constatamos que há irregularidades na sua certidão de casamento. O selo está falsificado. A frase dita de maneira leve pelo funcionário deixou Olívia Moura, que viera solicitar uma nova via da certidão, totalmente atônita. – Impossível. Eu e meu marido, Lionel Guedes, nos casamos oficialmente há cinco anos. Por favor, verifique novamente... O funcionário fez nova consulta. – O sistema indica que Lionel Guedes está casado, mas você, de fato, consta como solteira. A voz de Olívia tremia quando perguntou: – Quem é a esposa legal de Lionel? – Mirella Soares. Olívia segurou firmemente nas costas da cadeira, esforçando-se para se manter em pé. A certidão de casamento foi entregue a ela, e Olívia sentiu que aquilo quase a cegava. Se no início Olívia suspeitara de um erro do sistema, ao ouvir o nome de Mirella... Todas as ilusões ruíram naquele instante. O casamento grandioso de cinco anos atrás, os cinco anos de relacionamento exemplar e intenso, o matrimônio do qual tanto se orgulhara — tudo era falso. Com a certidão falsa, sem validade jurídica, Olívia voltou para casa devastada. Estava prestes a abrir a porta quando ouviu vozes lá dentro. Era o advogado da família Guedes: – Sr. Guedes, já se passaram cinco anos. O senhor não pretende conceder à sua esposa o reconhecimento legal? Olívia parou, prendendo a respiração. Depois de um longo silêncio, a voz grave de Lionel ecoou: – Espere um pouco mais. Mirella ainda está batalhando no exterior. Sem o título de Sra. Guedes, como ela se manteria no competitivo mundo dos negócios? O advogado da família advertiu: – Seu casamento com sua esposa é apenas de fachada. Se ela mudar de ideia, pode ir embora a qualquer momento.

She was desperate, it felt like all these secrets she could no longer keep alone. Will Ed Shane admit that she is pregnant with his child? Will Ed Shane stick with his opinion? What will happen to Lilyana if she finds out her husband is having an affair? Will Lilyana forgive Ed Shane?

My sister and I got into a car crash. My heart was ruptured, and I needed immediate surgery if I were to live. My mother, being the director of her hospital, sent all the doctors to my sister instead, all just to check on her. She barely got hurt. I pleaded and begged for my mother to save me, but impatience got the better of her. She roared, "This isn't the time to take any attention away from your sister! She almost had a bone fracture!" And I died. I remember where it was. It was a freezing operating theater.
