Because Im Stupid

My husband died in a fire trying to save me, leaving behind a mountain of debt and a newborn child. I worked hard to pay off the debt while raising the child, only to unintentionally discover that my husband hadn’t died at all. Instead, he was sleeping with my cousin. “Honey, you’re so clever. You transferred all the company funds and faked your death, leaving that stupid wife of yours to shoulder all the debt. “She’s so clueless that she doesn’t even realize the son she’s raising isn’t hers, that I swapped him out. Once she’s done paying off the debts, the three of us can live a great life together.” I silently sneered, pretending I knew nothing, and continued to raise the child. Twenty years later, my son returned home after studying abroad. The company went public in New York. On the day of the IPO, my cousin appeared arm in arm with my husband, holding a paternity test. “Claire, your husband never died. We’ve been together all these years. Alex is my son. Now that you’ve been his mother for so long, isn’t it time to return him to me?” My husband also presented a divorce agreement. “I built this company from scratch. It’s premarital property. Sign the divorce papers, walk away with nothing, and you can leave now.” I smiled and told him, “I’ve prepared a special gift for you too. I wonder if you’ll like it."

In those ten years, as if by fate, Zack and Anna was in the same class every year. Zack grew into a delinquent, bullying everyone, constantly fighting, smoking and receiving bad marks.

Who knew that bumping on to a stranger's car would give someone a one way ticket to a world they so despise and desperately avoid? Sienna Melendez doesn't want to be married, nor fall in love. She had that tattooed across her brain. She doesn't need these things, she can live and be happy just by herself. Plus, she doesn't want the pain that comes with love.

“By all means, do as you please. Run away as far as you can but keep one thing in mind, I'm going to find you. I'll follow you, Jaselyn. I'll stalk you like you're my prey and I'll catch you.” His warm breath brushes against my neck and I realize just then that he'd somehow bridged the distance between us. “I’ll make you mine over and over again till I become embedded in your DNA. You'll never be free of me.” His hand brushes against the side of my face, caressing almost lovingly while he says such chilling words to me. All of this feels like a farce, one big stupid comedy but a sad smile tugs at my lips when I realize this is my life. “I’ll give you everything and then I'll take it away.

One week before our wedding, my fiancé, my father’s own consigliere, sold him out.He set him up for a FBI raid. My father died in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, and the once-great Moretti family collapsed overnight. In my darkest hour, Dominic, the Don of the New York Luciani family, showed up with a crew of mercenaries. He didn't just take care of the rat; he gave me total protection. He obsessed over me for three years, even tattooing my name over his heart. I fell for it. I believed he loved me. I let my guard down and stayed by his side, serving as the lead perfumer for the coldest man in the city. Until today. Outside the wine cellar, I overheard him talking to his rival. "Old man Moretti died never knowing who had leaked his location," Dominic said. "But imagine if that stupid woman, Elena, found out," the rival mocked. "If she knew the man who killed her father was the same husband kissing her forehead every night... would she lose her mind?" My hand froze on the cellar door. The rival’s laughter came through the cracks: "You’re cold-blooded, Dominic! Elena thinks you’re her savior. She even wants to give you an heir. She’d never dream the raid that destroyed her life was actually your offering to Sienna."

"I, Sebastian Knight, reject you, Rose Pecklewood as my mate..." Rose waited to hear these words tumble off his lips. Just a moment ago, they had found each other as mates and his burning gaze told her she was far from being accepted by him. She immediately shook her head no, "I don't want you to reject me. I'm in love with you, Seb." He smirked, the coldness in his eyes stretching. "Deal, but I will make you wish I did," he grabbed her by the neck, yanking her to him until their bodies merged. "You just dug your own grave, sweetheart, but there is no turning back for you now." She held her breath, fighting the urge to break as he continued brutally; "This, every fuckin part of you belongs to me now and I will make sure to ruin them one by one until there is nothing left, until you disappear like Leah. All of you." A tear strolled down her cheek but she quickly wiped it. He hates her but she couldn't bring herself to reciprocate the feeling. She had loved him for nine years, it grew into a habit. He was having fun, she could see the glint in his eyes and she knew it was only the beginning of her misery, but her stupid self was excited that a powerful wolf like Sebastian Knight accepted her as his mate. It was all she ever dreamed of, even though they were the only ones who knew about it.

Alexander Schmidt war betrunken und rief immer wieder den Namen seiner unerreichbaren Liebe. Am nächsten Morgen wachte er auf und erinnerte sich an nichts. Er forderte Theresa Meier auf: „Finde die Frau von letzter Nacht!“ ... Theresa war schließlich verzweifelt und reichte Alexander die Scheidungspapiere ein. Als Grund gab sie an: „Die Frau wünscht sich Kinder, aber die Ehe ist wegen der Unfruchtbarkeit des Ehemanns gescheitert.“ Alexander, der nichts von alldem wusste, wurde wütend, als er die Nachricht erhielt. Er ließ Theresa zurückholen, um ihr zu beweisen, dass er sehr wohl zeugungsfähig war. Eines Abends, als Theresa von der Arbeit nach Hause kam, wurde sie plötzlich im Treppenhaus in eine Ecke gedrängt: „Wer hat dir erlaubt, ohne meine Zustimmung die Scheidung einzureichen?“ Theresa antwortete: „Du bist unfruchtbar, und ich soll keinen anderen Mann suchen dürfen?“ In dieser Nacht wollte Alexander Theresa zeigen, ob er tatsächlich zeugungsfähig war. Doch als Theresa einen Schwangerschaftsbericht aus ihrer Tasche zog, wurde Alexander wütend und fragte: „Wessen Kind ist das?“ Alexander suchte überall nach dem Vater des Kindes. Er schwor, den Mann, der Theresa schwanger gemacht hatte, umzubringen! Doch zu seiner Überraschung stellte sich heraus, dass er derjenige war...

Ich erwachte in meinem 27-jährigen Körper. Ich hatte Zwillingswelpen, und mein Gefährte war Ethan, der mächtigste Alpha des Nordwestens. Er stand immer an der Spitze der Ranglisten des Wolfsrates. Das „Alpha-Journal“ ernannte ihn sogar zum „Begehrtesten Gefährten des Kontinents“. Sogar das Königliche Rudel wollte ihm seine Prinzessin zur Gemahlin geben. Jeder im Rudel sagte, ich hätte Glück. Doch was tat ich als Erstes? Ich nahm den heiligen Vertrag zur Auflösung unserer Gefährtenbindung und brachte ihn persönlich zu seiner Ex-Geliebten. Ich schob Isabella Swan den Vertrag hin und sagte gelassen: „Ich werde die Mondgöttin bitten, unsere Bindung zu lösen. Ethan gehört dir. Die Welpen auch.“ Isabella starrte mich schockiert an. Sie konnte nicht glauben, dass die Person, die sechs Jahre lang Luna gewesen war, einfach alles aufgeben würde. Ich fügte nur leise hinzu: „Da sie alle deinen Geruch ohnehin lieber mögen, mache ich euch den Weg frei. Sorg einfach dafür, dass Ethan den Vertrag mit seinem Alpha-Zeichen versieht. Sobald das Trennungsritual vorüber ist, vorbei ist, verlasse ich dieses Territorium.“ Dieses Mal würde ich nicht die gleichen Fehler machen. Ich würde nicht länger die Luna sein, die alle ignorierten.

Dies war eine dreiteilige Serie, die an einem Ort spielte. Skylar wollte einfach ein wertvolles Mitglied ihres Rudels sein. Sie war die Tochter des Beta, und ihr Bruder sollte nach dem Abschluss den Titel übernehmen. Ihr Vater wollte nichts mit ihr zu tun haben und verspottete ständig die Dinge, die sie erreicht hatte. Sie war die Beste in ihrer Klasse in der Schule und die beste Kriegerin, aber das wusste niemand, weil sie so viel wie möglich im Schatten blieb. Ihre Mobber quälten sie, aber sie wurden nie erwischt. Sie stellte sich immer wieder gegen sie, um unschuldige Mitglieder ihres Rudels zu beschützen. Ihr Bruder und seine Freunde ignorierten ihre Existenz, und alles, was sie wollte, war, aus einem Rudel zu fliehen, das sie nicht zu wollen schien, und eine Elite-Kriegerin für den Alpha-König zu werden. Sie wollte irgendwo gewollt und akzeptiert werden. Ihre ganze Welt veränderte sich, als ein neues Mädchen auftauchte und sich nach einer intensiven Trainingseinheit entschloss, sich mit Skylar anzufreunden. Sie holte Skylar aus den Schatten und brachte die dunklere Seite der Rudelmitglieder und der Rudelkultur ans Licht. Konnte Skylar ihre Vergangenheit hinter sich lassen und das Leben führen, das sie sich wünschte?

Nach der Wiedergeburt beschloss ich, mich nicht mehr zwanghaft an meinen Jugendfreund Lukas Schmidt zu hängen. Zu seiner Geburtsparty stellte er ein Schild mit der Aufschrift: „Hunde und Mia Fischer dürfen nicht rein.“ Daher flog ich einfach nach Hawaii, um Abstand zu gewinnen. Als er behauptete, mein Geruch im Haus wäre ekelhaft, zog ich folgsam aus. Dann sagte er, nach dem Abschluss wolle er nicht mal dieselbe Stadtluft wie ich atmen. Also machte ich mich zügig davon und kehrte nie zurück. Schließlich sagte er, meine bloße Anwesenheit könnte seine wahre Liebe misstrauisch machen. Ich nickte nur und gab kurz darauf meine neue Beziehung mit einem Partner bekannt. Immer wieder traf ich jetzt die entgegengesetzten Entscheidungen zu denen aus meinem früheren Leben. Denn in meinem früheren Leben, nachdem ich endlich Lukas geheiratet hatte, sprang seine wahre Liebe von einer Klippe in den Tod. Er nannte mich eine Mörderin, folterte und quälte mich, bis ich schließlich in den Fluten der See endete. Diesmal wollte ich nur noch in Frieden leben. Später ging ich Hand in Hand mit meinem neuen Freund. Doch plötzlich blockierte Lukas unseren Weg, mit blutunterlaufenen Augen. „Mia, wenn du jetzt mitkommst, vergebe ich dir deine dummen Späße.“
