Cordelia Flower

Saat suamiku mengancam akan menceraikanku untuk keseratus kalinya, demi memintaku berkorban demi adikku... Aku tidak menangis atau membuat keributan dan menandatangani surat cerai tanpa banyak bicara. Aku menyerahkan pria yang telah kucintai selama sepuluh tahun kepada adikku. Beberapa hari kemudian, adikku membuat pernyataan keterlaluan di sebuah pesta, dan menyinggung keluarga yang berpengaruh. Aku sekali lagi dengan sukarela memikul tanggung jawab itu, menanggung semua konsekuensinya demi adikku. Bahkan ketika mereka kemudian memintaku menjadi subjek uji coba obat untuk penelitian adikku, aku pun menerimanya tanpa ragu. Ayah dan ibu berkata, akhirnya aku menjadi anak yang penurut dan pengertian. Bahkan suamiku yang biasanya dingin pun berdiri di samping ranjang rumah sakit, dan untuk pertama kalinya setelah sekian lama, membelai pipiku dengan lembut dan berkata, "Jangan takut, eksperimennya tidak akan membahayakan nyawamu. Setelah kamu keluar, akan kubuatkan makanan enak untukmu." Tapi dia tidak tahu, mau eksperimennya berbahaya atau tidak, dia tidak akan pernah bisa menungguku lagi. Karena aku mengidap penyakit mematikan, dan sebentar lagi aku akan mati.

Aku dan sahabat terbaik kakakku, Revano, sudah berpacaran tiga tahun, tetapi dia tidak pernah mau mengumumkan hubungan kami. Namun, aku tidak pernah meragukan cintanya padaku. Bagaimanapun, dia pernah punya 99 pacar, tetapi dia tidak lagi melirik perempuan lain sejak bersamaku. Bahkan ketika aku hanya sedikit masuk angin, dia akan langsung meninggalkan proyek bernilai puluhan miliaran dan terbang pulang. Sampai hari ulang tahunku, aku hendak memberi tahu Revano bahwa aku hamil. Namun, untuk pertama kalinya dia lupa hari ulang tahunku dan menghilang tanpa jejak. Pembantu memberitahuku bahwa dia pergi menjemput seseorang yang sangat penting dari luar negeri. Aku bergegas ke bandara dan melihat dia memegang sebuket bunga. Wajahnya penuh rasa gugup karena menunggu seorang gadis, gadis yang wajahnya sangat mirip denganku. Belakangan, kakakku memberitahuku bahwa dia adalah cinta pertama Revano, seseorang yang tak bisa dia lupakan seumur hidup. Revano pernah memutus hubungan dengan orang tuanya demi perempuan itu. Setelah dirinya dicampakkan, Revano hancur, hampir gila, dan mencari 99 pengganti yang mirip dengan wanita itu untuk menghabiskan hari-harinya. Saat kakakku berkata begitu, nada suaranya penuh kekaguman pada besarnya cinta Revano. Dia tidak tahu bahwa adik perempuan yang dia sayangi setengah mati, adalah salah satu dari pengganti itu. Aku menatap pasangan itu sangat lama, lalu tanpa ragu kembali ke rumah sakit. "Dokter, anak ini ... aku nggak menginginkannya lagi."

Cordelia Jenner married a thug in place of her sister and lived poorly ever after… Or did she? With a snap of the fingers, her husband became a secret billionaire with a ton of power and influence...That was impossible! Cordelia ran back to their quaint little home and right into her husband’s arms.“They claim that you’re Mr. Hamerton. Is it true?”The man stroked her hair. “That guy just looks like me.”Cordelia pouted. “He’s the worst. He insisted that I’m his wife. Beat him up!”The next day, said Mr. Hamerton put on a smile and appeared in public—bruised and battered.“Mr. Hamerton, what happened?”The man grinned. “My wife’s wish came true. I ought to put more effort into it.”

Living in PowerfulHollow Pack has always been nothing but a nightmare to Magnolia. Ever since, she found her omega wolf at the age of ten, her life had been nothing but a living hell but Magnolia had her belief that one day it'll be her turn to be happy and that she would also find her wolf one day. Until she discovered that the mate the moon goddess choose for her was Aldean, the cruel Alpha who always bully her and always follows after Cordelia and as expected Aldean fiercely rejected Magnolia and humiliated her in the presence of everyone But what would Magnolia do when it was revealed to her that she was actually the bride to the useless prince; how did it change, Cordelia is always the bride? But then it occurred to her that she was being made a substitute

A witch and a werewolf should have never been mates. It never happened, and should have never happened. Believing he was cursed by the Moon Goddess herself, Alpha Cain Cadell had the surprise of his life when he found his mate. Cordelia had a troubled life, extremely troubled even for a witch. Scorned by her people, hated by her mother, and wished dead by the council of magic. She really didn't have it easy. And when the Alpha of the biggest of packs wants to claim her as his, Cordelia has to fight spells, nails, and teeth. …. Blurb: “This is all sorts of wrong, alpha. I can't be your mate. Witches and werewolves can't be mates.” I shouted, trying to drill the fact into his mind. “Yet, it happened.” He stepped closer, cornering me to the wall. His eyes drifted between my eyes and my lips and he breathed out, “You are my mate; mine to love, mine to fuck, you're simply mine Cordelia and nothing and no one will stop me from getting you.” The possessiveness in his voice sent shivers down my spine. I itched to kiss him, I wanted him to kiss me, but I knew I shouldn't. But the fight in me was dying down as he leaned closer, his lips almost brushing mine. “Admit it, darling. You want me as much as I want you. Just give in.” His hand on my neck felt hotter, and I let out a shaky breath. It was one hell of a fight that I had to put up with myself. Cain Cadell was all sorts of bad. He's power hungry, his desire for power was almost maddening, and witches were very disposable to him. “I will never.” I couldn't even convince myself with that shaky voice.

Nagpakasal si Cordelia Jenner sa isang sanggano kapalit ng kapatid niya at namuhay siya ng mahirap habangbihay… O 'di nga ba? Sa isang iglap, ang asawa niya ay naging isang lihim na bilyonaryo na may taglay na kapangyarihan at impluwensya… Imposible 'yun! Tumakbo si Cordelia pabalik sa kanilang munting bahay at papunta sa mga bisig ng kanyang asawa. "Sinasabi nila na ikaw daw si Mr. Hamerton. Totoo ba 'yun?" Hinaplos ng lalaki ang kanyang buhok. "Kamukha ko lang yung lalaking 'yun." Sumimangot si Cordelia. "Nakakainis yung lalaking 'yun. Pinipilit niya na ako ang asawa niya. Bugbugin mo siya!" Kinabukasan, ang Mr. Hamerton na 'yun ay ngumiti at nagpakita sa publiko—bugbog at sugatan. "Mr. Hamerton, anong nangyari?" Ngumisi ang lalaki. "Nagkatotoo ang hiling ng asawa ko. Kailangan kong pangatawanan 'to."

As soon as I opened the door, my eyes saw the sight I wish I hadn’t seen. "What is going on here?” I asked through a shaky tone, tears burning my eyes and thankfully, blurring my vision. "Conrad!” the tears in my eyes spilled down when Selene got off him and laid beside him, completely bare. There was no shame or guilt on Conrad’s face even when I have seen him in bed with Selene. "Why? You were the one who told me that I am your mate, you told me th---at you---,” my throat went dry as I tried to finish speaking my heart. "That I love you?” he raised his brow, gently caressing her bare shoulder and running his finger down her chest, “I lied, okay?” the way his lips formed a smirk, I felt a used toy that he tossed aside once he was done with me. "Wh---y. I betrayed my coven for you an---d you betrayed me for her?” my voice broke, my eyes watching the girl pressing her lips against his neck and getting closer to him. "Cordelia! Close the door when you leave,” the tiredness in his voice when talking to me broke me piece by piece. -------------- Magic is forbidden in their world, but to get her blessed powers Cordelia has to perform a ritual for her ancestors’ blessings to come true. Left behind by her coven, she is prisoned and sentenced to death, but is saved by Alpha Prince at the price of her freedom. She is forever bound and chained to Alpha Prince Conrad. Betrayed by her coven and loved ones, will Cordelia be able to fight and survive? .

She gave up, she gave in. She forgot that she was on an airplane that was now accelerating for take-off. She was far more interested in her own personal take-off – one that Hunter was controlling with hard, deep thrusts inside her as his thumb gently stroked her clit. She opened her mouth against his throat, her breath coming out in pants now. As she approached climax, Sully gripped her chin between his fingers, forced her face up to his. Her release was muffled against his mouth and he swallowed her gasps and tiny whimpers; when she relaxed and sighed, he held her close, absorbing the aftershocks into his own body. Cordelia floated next to him, dizzy and breathless. **** Twelve years ago, Hunter Sullivan lost everything that mattered. Since then, his life has been built on distance, discipline, and emotional lockdown. Love was a luxury he failed to protect, and one he doesn’t deserve again. Or so he believes. Until Cordelia Patton walks into his life and dismantles his defenses with a single smile. Cordelia is already carrying too much: a sick child, a demanding job, and a future balanced on a knife’s edge. Her toughest assignment comes when she and Hunter are sent undercover as a married couple to take down a child-kidnapping ring. Pretending to be close to a man who refuses to want her may be the hardest role she’s ever played. Cut off from backup and relying only on each other, lines blur and emotions ignite. But when the case explodes and a criminal escapes, the danger turns personal... and Hunter is forced to face his greatest fear: losing the woman he never meant to love.

I went through 100 hormone shots for him—just to finally get pregnant. Five years begging those shots to work—all for Rafe Morello. The Don with ice in his veins... but also the guy who used to wipe sweat off my forehead in the middle of the night. Everyone thought we were goals. Then I handed over my lab results, and the nurse paused, blinking up at me. "Sorry, what's your relationship to Rafe Morello? There's already a pregnancy under his wife's name." I froze. Carmela Vitale. His dead brother's wife. Spouse listed: Rafe Morello. Breathing? Suddenly optional. No tears. No drama. I just slid off my ring and tucked it into my bag. Then I called the number buried at the bottom of my drawer. My voice? Freakishly calm. "Yeah. Three days. Pick me up." It wasn't about revenge. I left because I finally got it—some people, you gotta cut loose if you ever wanna stop bleeding. Three days later, he walked into a silent bedroom. On the nightstand: my wedding ring, the signed divorce papers, and a copy of the ultrasound. He sat on the floor and just... kept rubbing that ring. Regret doesn't knock. It floods. And that night, it drowned every lie he thought he could get away with. That was when he finally figured it out—love could wreck a person worse than hate ever could.

Minahal ko siya sa kabila nang malamig niyang trato sa akin, ngunit sa huli ay parang basura niya lang kung itapon ako sa pagbabalik ng kaniyang unang pag-ibig. Pero hindi ako papayag na mauwi sa wala ang mga araw na natitira sa akin. Hindi mo na ako maaangking muli, President Riego!
