Fra Luca Pacioli

Claire Sterling landete im Gefängnis. Der Grund? Ihre eigene Familie hatte entschieden, dass sie im Weg war. Ihr Mann, Nathan Sterling, brauchte freie Bahn. Die Frau, die ihren Platz einnehmen sollte, stand schon bereit. Ihr eigener Sohn sagte ohne zu zögern gegen sie aus. Als sie aus der Haft entlassen wurde, machte Nathan ihr ein Angebot, das er für eine „vernünftige Lösung“ hielt: Sie solle sich entschuldigen, unauffällig an seine Seite zurückkehren und dem Namen nach Madame Sterling bleiben. Nichts weiter. Ihr Sohn verbarg seine Ablehnung nicht einmal. Claire lehnte ab. Die Scheidung wurde zu einem öffentlichen Desaster für Nathan. Claire ging mit dem Großteil des Vermögens, während ihr Ex-Mann weit mehr als nur Geld verlor: seine Glaubwürdigkeit, seine wichtigsten Verbündeten und die unumstößliche Kontrolle, an die er immer geglaubt hatte. Befreit von einer Ehe, die sie fast zerstört hätte, baute Claire ihre Karriere nach ihren eigenen Regeln wieder auf. Ihre Arbeit fand schnell Anerkennung, und ihr Name gewann wieder an Wert – unabhängig von den Sterlings. Zur gleichen Zeit zerfiel Nathans Leben, Stück für Stück. Die Frau, für die er alles riskiert hatte, zeigte ihre wahren, habgierigen Züge. Der Sohn, der seine Mutter verstoßen hatte, verstand zu spät, von wem er wirklich geliebt worden war. Die Familie, die Claire geopfert hatte, zerbrach von innen heraus. Als Nathan und sein Sohn schließlich an ihrer Tür erschienen, war von ihrer einstigen Arroganz nur noch Bedauern übrig. Sie baten sie, zurückzukommen, als wäre Vergebung eine Selbstverständlichkeit. Claire hörte ihnen zu. Dann traf sie ihre Entscheidung. Sie war nicht mehr die Frau, die darauf wartete, auserwählt zu werden. Von nun an entschied sie allein, wer einen Platz in ihrem Leben verdiente – und sie hatte es absolut nicht eilig.

On the day of the state-wide exam, the Johanson family's real daughter accused me of cheating. Two perfect-score papers lay side by side, identical in every detail. No matter how I argued, I could not clear my name. Everyone sided with her. They branded me a cheater and cast me out of the Johanson family in front of everyone. To appease her, the Johansons went even further. They used their influence to blacklist me across every industry within their reach. I ended up sleeping on the streets. One hardship followed another until my thoughts dulled and a car struck me with such force that it sent me airborne. Even at the end, one question haunted me: "Why did my paper match hers?" Then I opened my eyes and found myself back in the exam room. This time, I turned in a blank sheet. I wanted to see for myself how someone who scored zero could possibly copy anyone.

Celeste Winters was born chosen, marked by the Moon Goddess, destined for power, and tied to a future she never fully wanted. But when a cursed moonstone dagger strikes her down, it doesn’t just nearly kill her; it erases her. Her memories vanish, her bond to her mate is severed, and the power that once defined her is ripped away, leaving behind someone unrecognizable, even to herself. In a desperate attempt to save her, those closest to her turn to the Moonwell, an ancient force said to heal what cannot be fixed. The water answers, but not with mercy. Instead of restoring Celeste, it changes her. What the moonstone stole, it replaced, twisting something inside her into its opposite. Now, Celeste is caught in a battle she cannot control. One moment, she seems almost like herself, quiet, distant, but there. The next, something darker takes over. The air around her grows heavy, her presence sharp and unfamiliar, and the world itself begins to react to her in ways it never has before. She knows something is wrong, but trying to remember only causes pain, forcing her further into the unknown version of herself she’s becoming. As the truth unfolds, it becomes clear that the moonstone obeyed an ancient balance, stripping her of her light and replacing it with darkness. And now, that darkness is winning. With time running out, Silas must find a way to reach the girl he lost before she’s gone for good. Because if Celeste fully becomes what the moonstone made her… There may be nothing left to save.

On the day I'm supposed to get promoted as the deputy director, I pick up a 40-pound barbell before breaking my right arm with it. Because of the injury, I missed the only title-evaluating surgery available in five years. Everyone feels sorry for me, seeing as I've practically ruined my own future with my own hands. But I, on the other hand, am so excited about it that I've downed two bottles of vintage wine in one go. Because in my past life, I spent ten hours in surgery and pulled the patient back from the brink of death. But my wife, Megan Reese, immediately accused me of abusing my power as a doctor just to resolve a personal vendetta by killing her first love, Pierre Hopkins, on purpose. She bribed the nurses who were in the same surgery as me. They were adamant that I used the wrong medication purposefully, which led to the patient dying from a rupture. Not only was my career destroyed, but I also became a public enemy, hated by everyone. My mom tried to seek justice on my behalf, only to get cyberbullied by the Internet users, who knew nothing about the truth, to the point that she broke down. In the end, she accidentally fell into the river and drowned. When I received the tragic news, I chose to end my life by jumping off the hospital's rooftop. After I died, Megan spent my assets however she wanted. She also lived happily ever after with Pierre, who apparently "came back to life". When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day I'm supposed to perform a surgery on Pierre.
