Esperanza Mia

On the fifth year of our hidden marriage, I died on the operating table of a hospital belonging to Allen Jones. Before I died, I called him ninety-nine times, begging for help. The last time, he finally answered. His voice was heavy with impatience. "Enough already. First, it's pregnancy, now it's liver cancer. Can you stop making a scene? I'm exhausted from work. "Mia, when did you learn to lie? Do you know how disgusting you are right now? "I'm warning you—if you keep this up, I'll divorce you. Don't even think about coming back home until you admit you're wrong." But this time, I could never go back. Just before the call ended, I heard him comforting Sadie with a gentleness he had never shown me. "Don't be afraid. The surgery will be over soon, and you'll be fine. Once you're out, I'll take you to see your favorite movie and eat at your favorite restaurant. I promised you, and I'll make it all come true." After he hung up, I called him for the hundredth time. He didn't answer. Later, when Allen saw my body on the operating table, he broke down completely.

WARNING: [R18] STORY WITH EXPLICIT CONTENT Sa pagtakas ni Mia mula sa malungkot na buhay na ibinigay sa kaniya ng demonyo niyang kinakasama na si Bernie, isa lang ang hangarin niya. Ang magbagong buhay. Ang maging lubusang masaya. Hanggang sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon ay muli silang nagkita ni Erik. Si Erik ang unang lalaking minahal ni Mia. Isang uri ng pagmamahal na siya at ang hangin lamang ang nakakaalam. Dahil hindi niya iyon naipagtapat sa binata noong mga bata pa sila. Hindi nawala sa puso niya ang pagmamahal na iyon. Dahil sa loob ng mahabang panahon, aminado siya na ito lamang ang lalaking minahal niya. At iyon ang dahilan kaya nagagawa niyang ibigay kay Erik ang sarili niya. Nang paulit-ulit, kahit pa wala silang relasyon, kahit wala itong sinasabi. Masaya siya at totoong nakakalimutan niya si Bernie sa mga pagkakataon na kasama niya ang binata. Alam niyang hindi titigil si Bernie makuha lamang siya nito. Pero wala narin namang silbi sa kaniya ang buhay niya dahil para sa kaniya patapon na iyon. Kaya bago pa man madamay si Erik sa problema niya, mas nanaisin niyang mamatay nalang.

Married for five years, I'm known as the woman with the perfect husband. Alexander Foster is tall, strong, endlessly passionate, and people love to joke that we can't keep our hands off each other. Then he goes on a mission one day and never returns. I fall apart. I try to end my life six times, and six times someone drags me back. On the night of the sixth attempt, I overhear my mother-in-law, Anna Greyson, whispering to the man everyone believes is Alexander's younger brother, Daniel Foster. "Alexander, how long are you going to keep hiding this? Mia has tried to kill herself six times because of you." Alexander's voice stays calm. "Mom, before Daniel died, he asked me to take care of Lily. She's fragile, and now she's pregnant with my child. If she learns the truth, she won't survive it." And that's when the truth hits me. My husband isn't dead at all. He's been pretending to be his own younger brother and plans to have a child with Lily Harper under that lie. After crying until I can barely stand, I contact Margaret Warren at the matchmaking agency. "About that blind date you mentioned. I'll take it. And I want the wedding as soon as possible."

Meine beste Freundin und ich heirateten in eine Top-wohlhabende Familie ein. Ich heiratete den älteren Bruder, einen genialen Arzt, und sie den jüngeren Bruder, einen kühlen CEO. Am Hochzeitstag verschwand Sven Lutz plötzlich, um seiner Traumfrau bei der Suche nach ihrem Hund zu helfen. Meine Großmutter erlitt aufgrund des Schocks einen Herzinfarkt, und ich bat ihn, zurückzukehren und sie zu retten. Er antwortete wütend: „Mia Schmidt, bist du verrückt? Du traust dich, deine einzige Verwandte zu verfluchen, nur um mich zurückzuholen? Quinnys Hund ist verschwunden, ich helfe ihr beim Suchen, und die Hochzeit kann jederzeit nachgeholt werden.“ An diesem Tag fand sie ihren Hund, aber ich verlor für immer meine Großmutter. Ich wurde ohnmächtig vor Weinen und als ich wieder aufwachte, fragte ich meine beste Freundin: „Vivian, ich werde mich scheiden lassen. Und du?“ Meine beste Freundin umarmte mich und weinte: „Ich will mich auch scheiden lassen!“ Die beiden Brüder der Familie Lutz erhielten die Scheidungsvereinbarungen und weinten vor Schmerz.

"Are you okay, did I hurt you?" he whispers, gently running his thumb on my flushed cheek. His eyes are so tender and the way they stare down at me, makes my heart swell with immense joy. I can't believe I just did it, and it was amazing. "No" I shake my head leaning into his touch. Fuck! I love him so much. I want this man to myself all days of my life. "Thank you for trusting me, baby. I..I...i" he quickly looks away when he couldn't complete his sentence, and I know why. "You don't have to tell me anything" I whisper pulling his head to my lips. "It doesn't matter to me, Rico. You are all I want, with your every flaw and the darkness that surrounds you" "But you deserve so much better sweetheart, you deserve the world" "Then be my world. I don't want to exist in a place you aren't " I sincerely murmur and it silences him. For the first time since I met rico, his eyes hold a different emotion other than the obvious ones. Determination. They are both lonely with troubling pasts, they both have walls built up so high and won't allow anyone to notice the pain behind their eyes. Can Mia Vulcan and Rico Moreno help each other overcome the demons hunting them? Find out.

When I was 18 years old, I stepped between Eric Ludlow and a silver arrow loosed by another contender so I could help him win the Alpha Trials. The silver sank deep into my wolf. Ever since then, I've lived as a broken werewolf without a mind-link and unable to conceive. Drowning in guilt, Eric decided to mark me. He pulled me close and vowed, "I'll love you for the rest of my life, Evelyn. I'll never see you as less." I really did believe him back then. At 25, he wins the pack war again and emerges as the strongest Alpha. But he turns our mate bond into a joke. At the celebration dinner, during a thoughtless game of Truth or Dare with his secretary, Mia Sadler, he speaks across the mind-link to everyone. "Evelyn, you're painfully dull. You're not the least bit appealing, your scent is thin, and you can't even bear a pup. You're just dead weight. I wish you'd never been saved back then. I wish you'd died." I clutch the medical report that says my wolf is about to be gone for good, staying silent. He assumes I can't hear anything since I don't have a mind-link. I beg the pack healer for a brutal, life-draining potion, just to know what a mate bond with him feels like. It's fine. I'll be dead soon, just the way Eric wants.

The Falcon Ridge Series Book 6 Her Choice To Make This book runs parallel and in the background of the year between book 4 and book 5. Set in Falcon Ridge and the Old Growth Forest. Grey Andrews: I’m a catch, right? I’m easy on the eyes. I’m fun and love life. I wasn’t looking for my fated, but when I found her I was so stunned by her, I could barely think. I thought, this will be the best mate story, finding my fated during a pack war. I can brag like all these other guys do about their mates. But then she does something I never expected. She ran away. Leaving me with an unfulfilled mate bond. I’m a ticking time bomb. I have to find her soon before I literally go insane and die. Mia Masters: I was just fulfilling my duties to my Alpha when the fighter stood in front of me. I didn’t know what he wanted or why I was feeling the way did. So I ran away. I can’t bring Grey into my world. I’m an obligation to the Alpha and if he ever found Grey, he’d kill him. I want Grey safe in my dreams where I can feel him while outside my mind is being broken and tortured for the Alphas amusement. I know Grey could possibly save me from my nightmare, but I’m doing this for my pack. The pack comes first before my happiness.

I stood in the shadows, the scent of pine and frost heavy in the air, watching my mate, Ethan, smile—truly smile—for the first time in years. But not at me. At her. My cousin, Isla. His first love. She sat beside him, warm and glowing, with our pups, Lucas and Mia, curled up against her like she was their real mother. They were laughing, sharing bites of ice-cream cake, the kind Lucas once said made his stomach hurt. I was never meant to be here. I wasn't his choice. He didn't fall in love with me—he was assigned to me. To him, our bond was never about love. It was a political arrangement—an alliance between two packs: his power, my father’s ambition. A tie forged not by hearts, but by bloodlines and borders. He never touched me unless required. He never looked at me like I was his Luna. In that moment, as their laughter echoed under the full moon, I felt the mate bond falter—thin, fading, like breath in winter. And I knew. I had played my part long enough. So I turned away. It was time to severe the bond that was never truly mine. But when he sensed I was really leaving, when the tether between us began to snap, he broke. Dropped to his knees, clutching the pups like lifelines, his voice raw. "Please," he whispered, "don't leave me." Even the pups cried, reaching for me with shaking hands. "Mom, we’re sorry… We didn't mean it. Please don't go."

Jane’s life took a different turn when she was made to marry a billionaire heir in place of her younger sister, Mia Brookes, who apparently is the family’s favorite. Jane, being an adopted child of the Brookes family, kept wondering why her adoptive parents would pass on an opportunity like this and ask her to marry into the family instead of their own biological child, Mia. “You didn’t want your precious child to get married to a cripple, which is why you shipped me off, right?” Jane said to her mum amidst tears on the evening of the wedding. “You think I would let my only daughter get married to a cripple? There is no way in hell I’m going to let that happen. We need Miller's family if we are going to thrive in this new business, and you seem like the perfect match for the family. Jane, we have served you through all these years since you were abandoned by your biological mother. Now is the time. We need your help. Just marry this boy and let’s get this over with” Mrs. Brookes said unremorseful. She threatened to leave the marriage the next day, but being one of the most prestigious and powerful families in the country, the Millers made that impossible for her. Also, her mother-in-law proposes a contract that includes giving birth to an heir through an IVF procedure, thereby giving her son the reason to live and someone to inherit his father’s empire while she gets whatever she decides. Will she accept this proposal? Will this plan work between Jane and her mother-in-law without Justin himself finding out? Let’s find out in this captivating and intriguing story…………

Vor der Hochzeit stellte ich fest, dass ich im mehr als zwei Monaten schwanger war. Lucas Weber war jedoch leicht betrunken, strich über meinen Bauch und sagte halb im Scherz: „Mia, ich bin noch nicht bereit, Vater zu werden, lass uns dieses Kind erstmal nicht bekommen, okay?“ Ich hatte darauf nicht unruhig reagiert und antwortete leise: „Okay.“ In meinem früheren Leben hatte ich darauf bestanden, dieses Kind zu behalten, aber Sophia Schulz hatte zufällig eine Fehlgeburt, die es ihr schwierig machte, schwanger zu werden. Lucas hegte deshalb einen Groll gegen mich und war nach der Heirat kaltherzig zu mir. Und ich hatte eine schwierige Geburt, einen von Füßen in die Höllenpforte hinein, bevor ich den Sohn zur Welt brachte, aber auch er weinte und wollte Sophia als seine Mutter anerkennen. Später, als ich bei einem Autounfall einen Blutsturz erlitt, gingen Lucas und unser Sohn gleichgültig schnell an mir vorbei. Sie begleiteten nur um Sophia zur Entbindung. Oberhalb verblutete ich. Unter der Decke hielten sie Leuchtstäbe in die Höhe zum Feier der Ankunft des neuen Lebens. In meinem neuen Leben werde ich mich nicht mehr selbst aufgeben und keinen falschen Weg mehr gehen. Ich wählte die Nummer des Dekans und sagte: „Ich bin bereit, an der Polarexpedition teilzunehmen.“
