Dry Flower Lyrics Novels & Stories

كانت تظن أن الزواج من الملياردير صاحب النفوذ هو تذكرتها الأخيرة للفرار من سياج الفقر والمهانة... لم تكن تعلم أنها تُقايض جوع المعدة بجوع الروح. في ليلة الزفاف، وتحت أضواء افخم قصور أبوظبي برودة، تلطخ فستانها الأبيض النقي بقطرات الكحول؛ فلم تجد مواساة من كفّ أمها، بل دفعة غليظة وكلمات مسمومة اهتزت لها الجدران: "لا تفسدي الصفقة اللعينة التي ستنتشلنا من الوحل!" أنقذ الموقف بابتسامته الساحرة وثباته الأنيق أمام عدسات الصحافة والمارة... إنه شاهين عز الدين، صقر الإعلام والوجاهة ذو الخمسة والأربعين عاماً. ألبسها قناع النجاة الزائف، ولكن... ما إن أُغلق خلفهما باب الجناح الملكي المعزول، حتى تبخر الوقار وسقط القناع الثعلبي كلياً. حدجها بعينين مظلمتين، باردتين كالمقابر، وهبط بقامته الفارهة ليتأمل ارتعاد جسدها الضئيل، ثم سألها بهدوء يقطر سادية وتشفي: "وأنتِ ترتدين هذا الكعب العالي... أخبريني يا حناني، إلى أي مدى تظنين أنكِ تستطيعين الهرب مني؟" عندها فقط، أدركت حنان —ابنة الاثنين والعشرين ربيعاً— أن القفص الذهبي لم يكن مغلقاً بالقفل والمزلاج؛ بل كان مفتوحاً على مصراعيه لأن السجان يعلم يقيناً أن طريدته وهنت، وأن أنصال الوحدة والشك كفيلة بتمزيق أجنحتها قبل أن تخطو خطوة واحدة نحو الخلاص.

I was slowly dying from Silverthorn Wolfsbane, and there was only one cure—the Miracle Elixir. But my mate, Leo Ashford, bought it and gave it to my adoptive sister, Jane Smith. He did it because he thought I was faking my illness. I gave up on the treatment and swallowed a potent painkiller instead. It would kill me in three days by shutting down my organs. In those three days, I gave up everything. I handed over the fur manufacturing business I built from the ground up to Jane, and my parents praised me for caring about my sister. I offered to sever our mate bond, and Leo praised me for finally being sensible. When I told my son he could call Jane "mommy", he happily said that his new mommy was the best! I transferred all my savings to Jane, and no one seemed to notice anything out of the ordinary. They were just pleased with my "better behavior". "Viola is finally not so bad." I wondered—would they regret it after I was gone?

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.

Ziva, seorang dokter muda yang selalu tampil glamor dan penuh gaya, maniak kebersihan dan disiplin, bahkan debu 1 inci saja langsung jadi sasaran tangan seribu Ziva. Namun segalanya berubah kacau saat dia dijodohkan dengan Reza, pria tampan tapi super santai, pecinta tidur siang, dan punya kucing galak bernama Binggo.

Di antara gaya hidup bertabrakan, dua karakter yang bertolak belakang itu justru perlahan mulai memahami makna cinta yang nyata—bukan yang didandani bunga dan lilin, tapi yang dibungkus kompromi dan kejujuran.

On the day of my twenty-first birthday, I posted online: [I want a lollipop.] My childhood rival, who was overseas, dropped everything there and flew back. He showered and showed up at my doorstep. I vowed to savor lollipops more carefully from then on—they were simply too sweet. From that moment, even after I was exposed as a fake heiress, everyone in high society knew: Jonathan Chase wanted to marry me. When the Sterling family carried out their harsh punishment, the hundred lashes meant for me were almost entirely taken by him—ninety-nine of them, borne by his own body. When they locked me in the basement, with darkness closing in from all sides, his shouts each day became my only light. "Chloe, don't be afraid. I'll get you out," he promised. And he did. He really saved me. He also made me witness, with my own eyes, his magnificent wedding to the true heiress. The man who once couldn't bear to make me wait had, "for my sake", told me to wait three times. The first time was on his wedding day. Pain was etched into every line of his face. "Chloe, if I don't marry Eleanor, they'll never let you go. Wait for me for three years. Three years from now, I'll marry you." The second time was three years later. He looked at Eleanor's rounded belly, hesitation written all over his face. "Chloe… she's carrying my child. You'll have to wait a little longer." The third time was just yesterday. I was just a step away from his kid. He pushed me violently to the floor, his face tight with warning. "Chloe, can't you just wait? Why do you have to take it out on a kid?" Sunlight fell across the face that once loved me, now stripped of all its former warmth. "If that's how it is… then maybe it's time for me to leave too." I said inwardly.

There was only one week left until my marking ceremony with Alpha Mason Wright. And this time, he was asking to postpone it yet again, all because his puphood sweetheart, Eira Padmore, the she-wolf who once saved his life, had another episode. She was in tears, begging to go to Bhador to see the snow, just like every time before, claiming she wouldn't be able to breathe otherwise. The ceremony had already been pushed back three times. All the wolves of the north had been waiting for us to complete it. But I was done waiting, and so was the pup growing inside me. If Mason refused to mark me, then I'd walk away and build my own future. But what I couldn't understand was... Why was it that the moment I left, Mason went mad searching for me, and suddenly insisted on marking me after all?

On Couples' Day, I received a last-minute urgent request from a client to help feed her dog at her residence. The client's home is located in the same residential area as Zachary Yandon's and my marital home. Even the passcode to her home is very similar to ours, with the last four digits being Zachary's birthday. When I open the door, it feels as though I've walked into my own home. The furnishings in my client's home are surprisingly the same as the furnishings in my own home. Even the Itorian men's loafers placed at the doorway are the exact same pair as I bought for Zachary last month. I stand at the doorway hesitantly without entering the home. It's then that a golden retriever dashes out of one of the rooms and runs into my arms. The force is so strong that I stumble backward, hitting my back on the door. I know I'm not imagining things at all. It turns out the client's dog is Bingo, my furbaby who went missing three years ago!
