Saat seluruh keluarga merayakan ulang tahun adikku, aku dikunci di pabrik terbengkalai, dengan darah yang terus mengalir. Adikku menyewa empat preman, menyiksaku hingga nyaris mati. Dengan sisa tenaga, aku merangkak sedikit demi sedikit mengambil ponsel, lalu menelepon suamiku. "Laurent, aku terluka parah, cepatlah datang selamatkan aku ... di pabrik yang nggak jauh, nggak akan menyita banyak waktumu." Mendengar suaraku yang rendah hati dan lemah, suamiku mencibir, "Elena, menangis nggak mempan, sekarang mulai jual kasihan, ya?" "Kamu sampai tak segan melakukan apa pun demi merusak pesta ulang tahun adikmu. Cepat bawa hadiah dan pulang untuk minta maaf padanya. Kalau nggak, kali ini kamu nggak akan kuampuni!" Belum sempat aku berbicara, dari seberang telepon sudah terdengar suara adikku memanggilnya. Suamiku tidak tahu, pada detik telepon itu ditutup, aku sudah tidak membutuhkan pengampunannya lagi. Dia juga tidak tahu siapa mayat berbau busuk yang membuatnya, seorang ahli forensik senior, mengernyit dan menghindar. Itu adalah istrinya sendiri yang telah dia benci selama bertahun-tahun.

Aku dan sahabat terbaik kakakku, Revano, sudah berpacaran tiga tahun, tetapi dia tidak pernah mau mengumumkan hubungan kami. Namun, aku tidak pernah meragukan cintanya padaku. Bagaimanapun, dia pernah punya 99 pacar, tetapi dia tidak lagi melirik perempuan lain sejak bersamaku. Bahkan ketika aku hanya sedikit masuk angin, dia akan langsung meninggalkan proyek bernilai puluhan miliaran dan terbang pulang. Sampai hari ulang tahunku, aku hendak memberi tahu Revano bahwa aku hamil. Namun, untuk pertama kalinya dia lupa hari ulang tahunku dan menghilang tanpa jejak. Pembantu memberitahuku bahwa dia pergi menjemput seseorang yang sangat penting dari luar negeri. Aku bergegas ke bandara dan melihat dia memegang sebuket bunga. Wajahnya penuh rasa gugup karena menunggu seorang gadis, gadis yang wajahnya sangat mirip denganku. Belakangan, kakakku memberitahuku bahwa dia adalah cinta pertama Revano, seseorang yang tak bisa dia lupakan seumur hidup. Revano pernah memutus hubungan dengan orang tuanya demi perempuan itu. Setelah dirinya dicampakkan, Revano hancur, hampir gila, dan mencari 99 pengganti yang mirip dengan wanita itu untuk menghabiskan hari-harinya. Saat kakakku berkata begitu, nada suaranya penuh kekaguman pada besarnya cinta Revano. Dia tidak tahu bahwa adik perempuan yang dia sayangi setengah mati, adalah salah satu dari pengganti itu. Aku menatap pasangan itu sangat lama, lalu tanpa ragu kembali ke rumah sakit. "Dokter, anak ini ... aku nggak menginginkannya lagi."

I had been married for eight years when I inherited a fortune worth hundreds of millions that my grandfather left to me and my mafia boss husband. However, just as the lawyer was finalizing the transfer, we discovered my marriage certificate was fake. That meant the entire inheritance could only go to me. “Ms. Rivers, according to the system, you were divorced a year ago. Your husband, Zayn Levine, is legally married to… Whitney Sanders. According to the papers, you're single. In other words, Mr. Levine has no right to claim the inheritance.” Whitney, the woman Zayn had once loved before she went abroad, the one he never forgot. I stared at the lawyer’s message, unable to accept it. All of Zayn’s affection and tenderness over the years had been nothing but a lie. I had planned to tell him on our anniversary that after eight long years of marriage, I was pregnant. It was the miracle we had both been waiting for. Yet it seemed like he had never really been looking forward to it at all. As I gently rested my hand on my belly, I told myself that even if my twins grew up without a father, they would be just fine. In this place built on nothing but lies, the only thing left for me to do was run away.

After five years of marriage, I received a wedding invitation from abroad. The groom is my husband, Arnold Willowstream. The bride is my younger sister, Yasmine Cooper. In disbelief, I decide to fly to Ainland and witness the wedding for myself. But the moment I see Arnold holding Yasmine and kissing her deeply, my heart shatters completely. Fireworks explode in the sky, and glowing words appear above—"Happy Marriage, Mr. Willowstream and Ms. Yasmine." In that instant, it feels like a blade piercing straight through my chest. Watching them look so happy together, I feel like I'm the one intruding on someone else's marriage. Love is a game for two—there's no room for a third. If he's already gotten married to someone else, what place do I have left in his life? Rather than waiting to be pushed out, I choose to walk away on my own and at least keep the last shred of dignity.

"You can't run away from them, goddess." Albert's cold voice echoed in her ears, and Myra almost trembled with fear. "Then what should I do? Do you want me dead...! They will kill me" She cried. "They won't..." Albert said and Myra blinked in surprise. How could he be so sure? "They can't kill you, goddess and you don't have to run away from them" Then what do you want me to do? They are so dangerous and strong whereas I am just a human girl..." she cried in frustration. What else could she imagine? "You can never defeat them but you can Tame them..." Albert's words reverberated in Myra's ears as she unconsciously repeated them. "Tame them...!!" Is he serious? "Can you be more serious? We are talking about those two most powerful Alpha's out there not some cats or dogs... Who the hell could tame them??" Albert smiled. "No one else could but you can..." ******** Let's embark on the beautiful yet tough journey of a little human girl, Myra, in which she was introduced to the world of werewolves as the red stone goddess. How would be her life after that? Will she survive? Thank you for choosing my book. We authors need your support. A review, a comment even a like is appreciated. Thank you once again.❤💕

On the day of my marking ceremony, I don't receive flowers or a mate's embrace. Instead, I receive news that my boyfriend, Liam Hagerty, was caught in a snowstorm and his body was never found. I lose the man I love, and the pup in my belly loses its father. The grief nearly destroys me, but everyone keeps saying, "Aurora, stay strong—at least for the pup." On the day of the funeral, Liam's twin brother, Jasper Hagerty, returns from the border patrol with his mate. Every time I see Jasper's face—the exact same face as Liam's—my heart aches all over again. Then one night, I accidentally overhear a conversation between my mother-in-law—the old Luna—and Jasper. "Liam, you have to go through with this. Your brother died saving you, and your sister-in-law's been through so much. Let her give birth and have something to rely on. Then, you can host your marking ceremony with Aurora." Silence follows. Then "Jasper" speaks. "But what about Aurora? She's carrying my pup..." His mother sighs. "Aurora is strong and considerate. She'll understand." Jasper says in resignation, "Alright, Mom. I'll do as you say." That's when I realize Liam never died. The man I thought was my brother-in-law, Jasper, is just Liam putting on an act. Heartbroken beyond words, I call my older brother, Axel Maddox. "Axel, I want to come home. Liam is already dead, so there's no reason for me to stay here anymore."

My boyfriend belonged to the untouchables among the capital's elite, with a family fortune worth tens of billions. To "test" me, he spent seven years never buying me a single gift, never spending a cent on me. Even a stop at a convenience store for condoms had to be split down the middle. Then, my mother fell critically ill. I borrowed from every friend and relative I could, but I was still two thousand short to cover the surgery fees. No matter how much I pleaded, he refused to lend me the money. I arranged my mother's funeral on my own. When I went back to pack my belongings, I accidentally found a list of gifts he had bought for the young woman next door. A private luxury estate. Designer handbags. Jewelry worth hundreds of millions. There was also a voice chat with his friend. "Caleb, is it true Jessica actually humbled herself and begged you for two thousand?" Caleb Brooks let out a low, amused laugh, his tone lazy and indifferent. "Nevaeh wasn't wrong. Anyone who goes around begging over two thousand — what else is she if not a gold digger? "We've only been together seven years and she's already trying to get money out of me." So that was the truth. Seven years of so-called testing, it seemed, had been sparked by nothing more than a few manipulative words from a young woman next door. However, it no longer mattered. The moment my mother passed away, I had already decided to leave him.
