Dylan Moore Audiobook

Als ich einen akuten Blinddarmdurchbruch hatte, waren meine Eltern, mein Bruder und sogar mein Verlobter nur damit beschäftigt, Maries Geburtstag zu feiern. Vor dem OP-Saal rief ich sie unzählige Male an, um jemanden für die Unterschrift unter die Einverständniserklärung zu erreichen. Doch sie lehnten alle brüsk ab. Mein Verlobter Lukas schickte mir nach dem Auflegen eine Nachricht: „Sophie, stell dich nicht so an. Heute ist Maries großer Tag. Alles andere regeln wir, wenn die Feier vorbei ist.“ Ich legte das Handy weg und unterschrieb ruhig selbst die Einverständniserklärung. Das war das neunundneunzigste Mal, dass sie mich wegen Marie im Stich gelassen hatten. Also würde ich sie auch nicht mehr brauchen. Ihre Bevorzugung machte mich nicht mehr traurig. Stattdessen erfüllte ich ihnen jeden Wunsch. Sie dachten alle, ich sei endlich vernünftig geworden. Aber sie ahnten nicht, dass ich für immer gehen würde

As the full moon hangs above the masquerade, Apollo Cadwell shows up with Bella Lohart. One is my Beta mate, the other his childhood sweetheart. Since she doesn't have a gown for the ball, he gives her my dress instead. It's a one-of-a-kind piece I've handmade myself—priceless, even—that I'm supposed to wear for our mating ceremony. "Bella has never been to a masquerade before," he says. "A beautiful dress will help her feel more confident." I calmly hand the dress over and watch Bella slip into the gown I've designed stitch by stitch. She clings to Apollo's arm, acting sweet. "You're the best, Apollo. Can I borrow the ring on your hand as well? That moonstone is too dazzling to miss." One of our friends can no longer stand it and speaks up. "Nora spent an entire month making that ring by hand. Are you just going to give it away like that? Have you even considered Nora's feelings?" He patiently slides the ring onto Bella's finger, then replies casually, "I'm just letting her wear it for a night. Nora won't mind. I'll just soothe her afterward, and she'll be fine." He's right about one thing. I will be fine. Slowly, I began erasing myself from his world. Before leaving, I keep my promise to the Elder that I'll personally travel to The Spine of the World on the Faron Continent to continue my research on the Moonshadow Herb Alchemy Research. From that night on, Apollo and I might never cross paths again.

Vor einem Monat vergiftete ich mich ungewollt mit dem tödlichen Wolfsbane-Gift – unheilbar. Mein Körper begann Tag für Tag zu versagen. Bis heute wurde meine Wölfin endgültig getötet, und mein Leben zählte nun nur noch drei Tage. Am Tag vor meinem Tod willigte ich ein, meiner Schwester eine Niere zu transplantieren. Mein Gefährte war überglücklich und versprach, das später wieder gutzumachen. Nachdem meine Schwester meine Forschungsarbeit über den Belladonna-Trank plagiiert hatte und daraufhin im Schulforum beschimpft wurde, bekannte ich mich freiwillig als die eigentliche Plagiatorin. Meine Eltern waren zufrieden und sagten, ich sei endlich vernünftig geworden. Endlich war ich die ideale Gefährtin, die perfekte Tochter, wie sie es sich immer gewünscht hatten. Aber warum weinten sie alle, als ich nur noch eine kalte Leiche war?

Tiga hari sebelum pernikahan, Arven didatangi oleh sahabat masa kecilnya yang kembali ke tanah air bersama ibunya yang mengidap penyakit mematikan. Dia ingin menikah dengan Arven demi menunaikan wasiat terakhir ibunya. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, aku menentang keras. Pada akhirnya, Arven menolak permintaan sahabat kecilnya, Nyra. Sesuai rencana, Arven melangkah ke pelaminan bersamaku. Namun, Nyra muncul di lokasi pernikahan sambil memeluk foto mendiang ibunya dan menuduh Arven tak berperasaan. Arven menyuruh para pengawal mengusirnya dan pernikahan kami pun tetap berlangsung. Akan tetapi pada malam pertama pernikahan, dia tidak pulang semalaman. Setelah itu, setiap malam kami tidur terpisah. Dia lebih memilih mabuk berat daripada menyentuhku. Ketika aku bertanya alasannya, dia berkata dengan sorot mata yang tampak buram karena alkohol. "Aeris, setiap kali melihatmu, aku selalu teringat tatapan putus asa Nyra, juga wajah mendiang ibunya .... Aku menyesal!" Aku pun jatuh sakit karena kesedihan dan meninggal dunia. Saat membuka mata kembali, aku kembali ke hari ketika Arven mengatakan ingin mengadakan pernikahan untuk Nyra. Di kehidupan ini, aku langsung menyetujui permintaannya. Menatap punggungnya yang pergi dengan wajah penuh kebahagiaan, aku menelpon rumah dan berkata, "Kak, aku setuju dengan perjodohan keluarga. Atur saja pernikahannya tiga hari lagi."

I, Elena Rossi, was diagnosed with acute kidney injury a year ago. I need a kidney transplant to survive. My fiance, Dario Ajello, is the Don of the mafia family, and he looks everywhere to find a suitable kidney donor for me. As it turns out, my younger stepsister, Lucia Rossi, is the only person who is eligible to be my kidney donor. However, she refuses to take the five million dollars Dario offers her as compensation. Instead, she makes a ridiculous demand—that Dario pretend to be her boyfriend for an entire month. I am all against it. I would rather die than agree to her conditions in order to receive her kidney. Dario promises me that he won't fulfill her demands, but I soon find out that he still has agreed to be Lucia's boyfriend for a month. After learning the truth, I decide to give up on my treatment and silently make arrangements for my passing. That is because I know that Lucia will never donate her kidney to me, even if Dario fulfills his side of the obligations.

Depois que o irmão mais velho de Leo Carter morreu, a mãe dele propôs que ele se casasse com Ariel Sullivan, a viúva grávida do falecido. Leo recusou. — Fawn é a minha vida. — A voz dele soou fria, e o ar ao redor pareceu mais denso. — Eu preferia abrir mão de herdar o posto do meu irmão como Don a trair a minha esposa. Eu fiquei profundamente comovida com aquela devoção… até o dia em que, por acaso, eu ouvi uma conversa entre Leo e a mãe dele. — A criança na barriga de Ariel é claramente sua. — A mãe dele disparou, cortante. — Então por que você não vai se casar com ela? Leo soltou o ar devagar, e uma nuvem de fumaça escapou. O olhar dele se perdeu em algum ponto distante, indecifrável, como se nada ali o atingisse por completo. — Eu prometi à Ariel que deixaria meu irmão com um herdeiro. — A calma dele foi quase irritante, calculada demais. — Mas isso fica entre nós. Se a Fawn descobrir um dia… eu estou morto. A expressão da mãe dele escureceu, como se a paciência tivesse se partido. — E daí se ela descobrir? Ela nem pode ter filhos. — A voz dela veio carregada de desprezo. — Você vai acabar com a linhagem da família por causa dela? — Se ela descobrir, ela vai me deixar. — A frieza de Leo cortou como lâmina, perigosa. — E eu não sobrevivo sem ela. Se você quer um neto, então cale a boca. Eu me afastei cambaleando, como se tivesse levado um golpe. O sangue nas minhas veias foi esfriando aos poucos, até virar gelo. Leo me conhecia melhor do que qualquer um; ele sabia que, no meu mundo, amor não tolerava traição. Então, no instante em que ele me traiu, eu tomei a minha decisão. Eu iria embora.

I've been in a relationship with my older brother's best friend, Alpha Alexander Parker, for seven years. But there's a twist—this relationship is a secretive one. After having too much moonshine to drink one day, Alexander tells me drunkenly, "Willow, Stella is with pup now. If she doesn't have a mate, she'll get exiled out of the pack by the elders. Is it okay if I give her the Luna position for now?" In a calm and docile tone, I reply, "Okay." In my previous life, I didn't agree to Alexander's suggestion. I also insisted on holding the mating ceremony with him. Meanwhile, Stella Lockhart's belly continued to grow as weeks passed. In the end, she couldn't conceal it anymore. The enraged elders eventually cast her out of the pack. After Stella was gone, Alexander no longer came home, nor did he speak a word to me. I knew that he blamed me for everything. Some time later, I died from overwhelming guilt and depression. When I was about to close my eyes, I saw Alexander rushing into my room in alarm. Stella, who was supposed to be cast out of the pack, trailed behind him with a pup in her arms. That was when I finally realized that while Alexander was Stella's savior, he was never the most suitable mate for me. Now that I'm reborn, I don't turn his suggestion down. Instead, I decide to cut off all ties with him so that he and Stella can live happily ever after.

When my appendix bursts, my parents, my brother, and even my fiancé are all too busy celebrating my sister's birthday. I'm outside the operating room, frantically calling every family member I can think of to sign the consent form, but every call is either ignored or hung up on. After hanging up on me, my fiancé, Joel Graham, texts back. "Sophie, stop being dramatic. It's Yvette's 18th birthday today. Whatever it is can wait until after the party." I quietly set my phone down and sign the consent form myself. It's the ninety-ninth time they've chosen Yvette Norton, my sister, over me. This time, I choose not to care. I'll stop letting their favoritism hurt me. Instead, I'll do everything they ask of me without complaint. They'll all think I've finally learned to be obedient, and they'll never realize that I'm preparing to leave them for good.

At the wedding, just as I was about to exchange rings with my fiancée, her conniving boyfriend intentionally pushed his son toward her. Right in front of everyone, the boy looked up with teary eyes and asked, "Mom, why are you marrying this man? Don't you want me and Dad anymore?" My fiancée, who never lied, smiled, took the child's hand, and said, "I was only pretending with this man earlier. Now I am going to marry your father." The banquet hall buzzed with whispers. Everyone expected me to get jealous and blow up. Instead, I said the child came first and calmly handed the ring to the boyfriend sitting below the stage. Seeing how cooperative I was, my fiancée grinned and promised she would give me a healthy baby boy someday as a thank you. However, she seemed to have forgotten that we had not officially tied the knot yet. Truth be told, I had no intention of ever doing so.

At our wedding, my wife's assistant "accidentally" uploaded the wrong photo. The big screen was supposed to display our wedding portraits. Instead, it was a picture of my wife and him in full wedding attire. Their fingers were laced together, their eyes locked in a soft, intimate gaze, looking every bit like a blissfully happy couple. The entire venue erupted in shocked whispers. The assistant froze in shock, acting like he had no idea why he was in the photo. He started panicking, asking if we should just postpone the ceremony. My wife, however, stayed surprisingly calm. She whispered her solution, “Everyone’s here. Postponing now would be humiliating and, honestly, a bad omen. Beside, most people here don’t even know what the groom looks like. Why don’t we just let him stand in for you?” Our friends were dumbfounded. They all thought I’d explode in anger and jealousy after hearing something so outrageous. Instead, I nodded, saying it was actually a great idea. Seeing how composed I remained, my wife looked pleased with herself. She told me that since we were legally married anyway, she’d make it up to me later with another ceremony. However, she seemed to have forgotten one thing: she had just signed the divorce papers.
