Elena From Ben 10

私は学生の頃から付き合っていた久保直樹（くぼ なおき）と、卒業と同時に籍を入れた。 一から直樹が会社を立ち上げるのを、ずっと隣で支えてきた日々は、本当に大変だった。 私たちの子供が白血病にかかった時でさえ、お金が無かった私たちは、ただ見ていることしかできなかった。 それから5年後、私は再び新しい命を授かった。 その時には、直樹も若手実業家として成功していた。 人生これからだと思った矢先、あるメッセージが2通、私の元に届いた。【直樹さんのこと好きになっちゃった】 【いくら欲しい？直樹さんと別れてくれるなら、言い値で払うからさ】 メッセージの送り主は、山田家の甘やかされて育った娘、山田佳奈（やまだ かな）だった。パーティーで直樹に一目惚れしたらしい。 一晩考えた私は、翌日佳奈から送られてきた小切手に金額を書き込んだ。「10億円。これで私と直樹の10年を買い取ってください」

結婚七年目。御堂蒼真は平穏すぎる日々に退屈し、外で倉田結衣という女子大生を囲っていた。 か弱く儚げな結衣は、その身体で彼を骨抜きにし、一ヶ月もの間家に帰らせなかった。私がいくら呼び戻そうとしても、全くの無駄だった。 息子の三歳の誕生日。私は高熱で火のように熱くなった我が子を抱きしめ、別荘の外にひざまずいて蒼真に帰ってきてほしいと泣き叫んだ。 だが蒼真は、ガラス窓の向こう側で、狂ったように何度も結衣の身体を求めていた。 息子は、彼らの甘い嬌声が響く中、私の腕の中で静かに息を引き取ったのだ。 葬儀の日、蒼真は私を抱きしめて号泣し、家庭に戻って私だけを愛し抜くと誓った。 私はそれを受け入れた。 息子の最期の願いが、パパとママに仲直りしてほしいというものだったからだ。 四年後。息子が通うはずだった幼稚園が、ある動画を公開した。 動画の中では、蒼真が美しく着飾った結衣の肩を抱き、その腕には三歳くらいの男の子が抱かれていた。 男の子は満面の笑みでカメラに向かってトロフィーを掲げている。 「パパ、ママ、僕たちって世界で一番幸せな家族だね！」

On the day of her wedding, Elena Bianchi was left standing alone in a church. For the nineteenth time, Don Giovanni Rossi failed to appear. His excuse was the same as always—Lina was 'dying' again. This time, the humiliation went further. While Elena waited in her wedding dress, a video call arrived. On the screen, the lace veil her mother had left her—the one promise Elena had sworn to keep—was being torn apart by Lina’s dog as Lina laughed and urged it on. Giovanni followed with a careless apology. He promised to buy her a better one. That veil had been the last thing her mother ever gave her. Elena did not cry. She did not argue. Instead, she made a call no one in the Italian underworld dared to make. Seven years later, the Rossi family had fallen. Their power was gone. Their allies had turned away. And Giovanni—once untouchable—stood among the defeated, waiting to receive the Donna of the most powerful Mafia family. He never expected it to be Elena. Now married to Rafael Bellini, Elena was no longer the woman abandoned at the altar. She was Bellini’s Donna—calm, ruthless, and beyond his reach. The veil that had once been fed to a dog had become a crown. And the man who had destroyed her was now her enemy. In a world ruled by bloodlines, loyalty, and vengeance, Elena proved one unbreakable truth: A woman cast aside by a Mafia king did not disappear—she rose, and she returned as his reckoning.

First thing Leah Labelle did after Andrew Fillion's funeral? Ask her husband Ian for a divorce. Why? Because Ian's entire family thought the perfect way to honor his dead brother was to knock up the widow. Naturally. "My parents are threatening to hang themselves or starve, Leah. What was I supposed to do? It's just IVF with Cecilia—we're not even doing anything. Why are you making this a divorce thing?" Leah shut her eyes. Her chest cracked open, and the tears she'd been holding finally broke free. "Ian, we're MARRIED. You seriously don't think this is next-level insane?" Her husband was about to have a baby with someone else. But sure—she was the crazy one.

On my birthday, my mother-in-law had just been wheeled out of surgery, only to be sent straight back into the ER. In a video newly posted by an intern, he was shown holding a scalpel and cutting my mother-in-law open, while the lead surgeon, who was my wife, was nowhere in sight. “Who says interns aren’t qualified to operate? No worries. My Dr. Lover dotes on me.” Colleagues flooded the comment section, saying the couple was sweet and that they were shipping them. I forwarded the video straight to the hospital director. Not long after, my wife called me. Her breath ragged and voice fragmented. “So I forgot your birthday. Is that reason enough for you to go to the director and accuse me of violating hospital rules? “I’m so done with your unreasonable behavior! Even if my mother sides with you this time, I’m still getting a divorce…” She hung up before I could respond. What she didn’t know was that her mother wouldn’t be taking my side anymore. Because the patient who went into massive postoperative hemorrhage and died during resuscitation, under the lead of an intern, was her mother.

When an unexpected attack headed by Seraphine Wildfrost's best friend resulted to her mate's death and the destruction of Silvercrest Pack, Seraphine was left utterly devastated. Overwhelmed by the betrayal, hatred, grief and loss of her other half, she was driven to her own demise. But when she awoke, it wasn't the afterlife she saw. The Moon Goddess offered her a chance to alter the future events, to prevent the destruction caused by Maximus' dangerous obsession with her. The only rule she must remember is to never let anyone know she's from the future, or things might get worse if the knowledge fell into the wrong hands. Seraphine set out to devise a plan, recalling the root of the future destruction and trying her best to alter it. It seemed easy at first. Yet, just like what happened most of the time, things didn't go as planned. How will Seraphine cope with the consequences of her decisions? How will she face the man who betrayed her from the future? And how could she have forgotten how utterly annoying her mate and future husband was when they first met, just because he was the perfect husband to her in her future? Seraphine soon realizes that a thorough plan didn't guarantee a smooth sailing.

Married three years. Stood up three years. Today was the last time I bothered showing up. Surprise—he bailed again. Still clinging to hope like a total idiot, I called. One last shot. "A-Aurora, I'm busy. Just wait," he muttered. And then her voice cut in. All breathy and smug: "That old woman can't satisfy you, huh? Paolo, be gentle." Click. Right on cue, Marco Medici—loyal, patient, saint-like Marco—sent his 99th proposal. This time, I didn't leave him hanging. [Want to come over for bollito misto?]
