Catelyn Stark

On the eve of my wedding, I catch my boyfriend of seven years, Eddy Stark, and my best friend, Jane Holman, going at it in the company break room. All my coworkers crowd outside the glass door, watching the spectacle. "My gosh! That's your boyfriend, right? It turns out…" At the most humiliating moment in my life, Rylen Huff, the CEO who never got along with me, walks over and drapes his coat over my shoulders. Before everyone present, he makes an announcement. "She is my fiancée. Save your nonsense." From that day on, I go from being the company's joke to the CEO's wife who everyone envies. After we get married, Rylen treats me very well. He gives me everything from jewelry and mansion to power. But only one thing never goes as planned—we don't have a child. To give him an heir, I go through injections and egg retrieval again and again. After 99 IVF attempts, I finally get pregnant. But on the day of my prenatal checkup, I overhear his conversation with the doctor. "Mr. Huff, the IVF procedure has already severely damaged her health and body. If she finds out that this embryo is actually Jane's, I fear she may have a mental meltdown." Rylen falls silent for a moment. Then, he says evenly, "I've already given her a life most people could never have. She should feel contented. When she gives birth, I'll tell her that her body was too weak, and the baby didn't make it. "Jane cannot handle the pain and hardship of childbirth. We are childhood friends who grew up together, after all. Of course, I should handle a minor matter like this for her." So the timely rescue and unconditional favor from Rylen were nothing but lies. I immediately schedule an abortion, as I don't intend to give birth to a child that isn't mine. In addition, I won't stay with a man who has never loved me.

Drei Geschichten in einer. Lesen Sie über die Warner-Schwestern Sutton, Blair und Keira. Mit ihrem arroganten Chef im Bett – Als sie nach Hause kommt und ihren Verlobten mit ihrer Cousine im Bett vorfindet, hätte das sie eigentlich fertigmachen müssen, aber Blair weigert sich, zusammenzubrechen. Sie ist stark, kompetent und entschlossen, weiterzumachen. Was sie nicht geplant hat, ist, ihren Kummer in zu viel Scotch ihres Chefs zu ertränken ... oder im Bett mit ihrem skrupellosen, gefährlich charmanten Chef Roman zu landen. Eine Nacht. Das sollte alles gewesen sein. Aber im kalten Licht des Tages ist es gar nicht so einfach, einfach wegzugehen. Roman ist kein Mann, der loslässt – vor allem nicht, wenn er sich einmal entschlossen hat, dass er mehr will. Er will Blair nicht nur für eine Nacht. Er will sie, Punkt. Und er hat nicht die Absicht, sie gehen zu lassen. CEO's Runaway Mistress – Als das Model „Audrey“ entdeckt, dass sie ein Kind von dem Milliardär Luca De Santis erwartet, hat sie Angst, es ihm zu sagen. Ihre elfmonatige Affäre war leidenschaftlich, aber unverbindlich. Bevor sie den richtigen Moment finden kann, beendet Luca ihre Beziehung brutal, indem er ihr offenbart, dass er mit einer jugendlichen Erbin verlobt ist, und Audrey grausam vorwirft, ihn in die Falle locken zu wollen, als sie ihm von ihrer Schwangerschaft erzählt. Mit gebrochenem Herzen und allein verschwindet Audrey und kehrt zu ihrer wahren Identität als Sutton Warner zurück. Monate später führt sie eine Wendung des Schicksals wieder zusammen, als Luca das Technologieunternehmen übernimmt, in dem Sutton arbeitet. Er ist fassungslos, als er die Wahrheit entdeckt: Nicht nur, dass sie sein Kind erwartet, „Audrey“ hat nie existiert. Sie ist in Wirklichkeit Sutton, eine begabte Programmiererin, deren Verstand ebenso schön ist wie ihr Gesicht.

When my best friend and I realized we had been reborn and traveled back several decades, we locked eyes, collapsed into each other's arms, and sobbed, shouting that we wanted to break off our engagements. The entire neighborhood whispered that we had lost our minds. But only we knew the truth. In our past lives, this was the day everything was sealed: she married a battalion commander, Ned Stark, and I became the wife of a high school teacher, Robbie Stark. My husband betrayed me. For the sake of that pretentious whore, Scarlett Wheaton, he stole my university admission letter and let her take my place on campus. The world mocked me as a failure, and Robbie stood by in silence. After we married, every time he touched me, he would immediately write another love letter to Scarlett—atoning for his supposed guilt. "Scarlett, even if I can't be with you in this life, my soul will always belong to you alone." Even my own child despised me, calling me an ignorant village woman, urging me again and again to divorce so that his father could be with his "true love," Scarlett. And my best friend, Rachel Croft—born the daughter of a factory director—was tricked by her husband, Ned, under the pretense of buying a house. He drained her savings and her wages for twenty long years. It wasn't until she fell gravely ill and went to sell the house that she discovered the deed he had given her was a forgery. The real house—the one paid in full—was in Scarlett's name. One of Scarlett's dresses cost more than my friend's entire monthly salary. When Rachel begged to reclaim what rightfully belonged to her, she was met only with contempt from Ned and her child. "All you ever care about is money. You're nothing like Scarlett, who isn't materialistic at all. Your illness is retribution," Ned had said. "Exactly. Only someone as noble and kind as Scarlett deserves to be my mother!" her child had said. Rachel and I both spent our lives working ourselves to the bone, only to end with nothing—dying bitter and broken from the injustice. But this time, fate has given us another chance. I will go to university. Rachel will become a wealthy woman. This time, without us paving the way, those shameless men and that wretched woman think they can still live happily ever after? Dream on.
