Some people come into our lives some will stay and some will leave. Any of that two I believed that we don't meet people accidentally. We meet them with purpose, to teach us something or to simply add value to our life. Sedriano the man who came into my life, the man who made my world upside down. The man who values loves and gives me pain. The man who gives me butterfly kisses on my stomach. We were too young when we fell in love but I was so sure that it will last. With the promise, we made together with his bitter goodbye. This is our story.

To protect the assistant who had been evading taxes, she deliberately gave false testimony in her role as my superior's wife, putting all the blame on me. I protested endlessly, but the law held me accountable. I was imprisoned for two months. Upon release, my colleagues turned against me, ostracizing me and destroying my promotion chances. Seeing that I neither cried nor caused a scene, my wife assumed that I had finally submitted. She even threatened to make amends with a lavish wedding for me. However, during the wedding vows, the assistant, suddenly overtaken by jealousy, ran to the company rooftop and threatened my wife with suicide to force her to cancel the wedding. My wife, who had always been obedient to him, panicked. She abandoned everyone at the ceremony and spent the entire night comforting her assistant. Afterwards, she calmly explained: "Wilson is young and impulsive. I was just afraid he might get hurt. Besides, you were released from prison so early thanks to him. He helped a lot. By right, he's still your lifesaver. I couldn't just abandon him." I looked at the couple rings she had just put on her finger, let out a faint hum, and said nothing. She believed I accepted her excuse and was pleased, even making an unprecedented promise: once she had calmed the assistant, she would take me on a honeymoon. However, she seemed to have forgotten one thing. She had already signed the divorce papers, and I had filed a lawsuit in court to have the case heard. From that moment on, we were no longer husband and wife. We were only plaintiff and defendant.

Before Andrew and I formed our mate bond, I overheard him and his Wolven Clan brothers mocking me: "My Luna must serve my family and dedicate herself to the Blood Moon Pack." "Lina is obedient and devoted—she loves me with all her heart, keeps the pack running smoothly, and takes care of my mother. She works tirelessly, giving her all to my family." "However, Louise? She cherishes her dreams and craves freedom. She's a carefree spirit, meant for the vast open plains, not to be tied down and become a dull housewife." I did not argue or shed tears. Instead, I left the Blood Moon Pack without a word. Andrew assumed I was just sulking nearby, unaware that I had traveled far to the Northland. In the Northland, I not only rekindled my dreams but also found my true mate—the one who truly loves me. Now, I am his Luna Queen.

Inside the tattoo studio, Seth Jones let his fingertips trace the dip of Rita Searle's waist and move slowly up her spine. With a soft rustle, her dress slipped to her ankles. He stood over her, taking in the blood-red rose inked across her chest. They had been married for three years, and this was the anniversary gift he'd be giving her—999 roses tattooed into her skin. A broken sob scraped up Rita's throat. "Seth, it hurts… Please, stop…" Her tears splashed onto the back of his hand, but he only pressed the needle deeper, dragging it along until angry red welts marked her body. "Victor wanted those damn roses so he could give them to another woman, and that led to Tara falling off that cliff and ending up in a vegetative state. I'm just giving him what he wanted. You should be grateful." Lying on the cold tattoo table, Rita felt the chill spreading through her. Her eyes stung, weighed down by grief churning behind them. "Isn't it enough? You bought out Searle Group, you hung Victor over a cliff, and left him for the vultures. What else do you want from us?" Seth grabbed her by the throat and forced her chin up. "And isn't Tara innocent in all this? Rita, you and Victor destroyed her life. Don't you owe her for that?"

That winter, our whole family went skiing in Aespen, Amestia. It was a popular spot for werewolf nobles and the wealthy. Then, the avalanche struck. My father's first instinct was to scoop up Summer—his sleeping adopted daughter—and flee. My mother, panicked, still made sure to grab the stray puppy Summer had found. They returned to the Moonshadow Pack that same night, posting a flood of photos online and rejoicing over their miraculous escape. Not one of them remembered me. Their biological daughter was still buried beneath the snow, waiting for rescue. When I was finally rescued, I did not look back. I took my mentor's offer to study abroad and left the pack behind. I moved to Cascade City to study medicine. No more pleading, no more shrinking myself in hopes of earning back my family's love. Yet they only seemed more disgruntled. "Rose, why aren't you competing with Summer for our attention anymore?"

Valeria Romano tenía diecinueve años cuando asesinaron a su padre. Durante cinco años entrenó, se sacrificó y derramó sangre... construyendo toda su vida en torno a un nombre: Lorenzo De Luca. El rey de la mafia que ella creía que había dado la orden. Cuando por fin tiene la oportunidad de enfrentarse a él, no huye. La sienta y le muestra una fotografía. El responsable de la muerte de su padre nunca fue Lorenzo. Fue su tío Marco. El hombre que le dio el nombre equivocado la mañana después del asesinato y la vio perseguir al objetivo equivocado durante cinco años mientras reconstruía su imperio sobre la tumba de su padre. Lorenzo le propone un matrimonio por contrato... una alianza estratégica que los pone a ambos a tiro de piedra de Marco antes de que este entierre la verdad para siempre. Valeria acepta. No porque confíe en él. Porque Marco Romano se acaba de convertir en su verdadero objetivo. Lo que sigue es una carrera contrarreloj. Espías dentro de la mansión. Un testigo comprado. Un hombre muerto que resulta estar muy vivo. Dos personas que se unieron como enemigos, construyendo lentamente algo para lo que ninguno tiene nombre. Y una cumbre donde Valeria debe presentarse ante las cinco familias gobernantes con cinco años de verdad... y finalmente hacer que valga la pena. Marco va a una celda. La guerra termina. Pero la guerra deja huellas. La verdadera pregunta que impulsa esta historia nunca es si Valeria puede destruir al hombre que mató a su padre. Es si puede sobrevivir a la persona en la que se convirtió en el proceso... y si el hombre con el que se casó para ganar una guerra es el mismo hombre por el que vale la pena quedarse cuando termine.

My husband did not love me, and he certainly did not love our child. On the day our son was born, he did not even glance at him. He merely tossed him into my arms. Then, his first love came back from overseas. That night, the ever-cold Henry had gotten drunk for the first time. He even smiled as he held our child in his arms. Delighted, our son wrapped his little arms around my husband's neck and asked me in a soft voice, “Mommy, what’s wrong with Uncle?” I crouched down, pulling him into my embrace. My eyes reddened as I explained, “Uncle's favorite person came back, so we shouldn’t bother him anymore. We’re going to find a new home.”

At my best friend's wedding, a girl lunged forward and caught the bouquet—only for it to slip from her hands and land squarely in my arms. My best friend, Lauren Walker, beamed at me. "Madison, looks like you're the next bride." The guests exchanged knowing glances and turned toward my boyfriend of eight years—Mason Ryder, the CEO of the Ryder Group. But he calmly plucked the bouquet from my hands and casually passed it to the girl standing beside me—his secretary, Natalie Carter. "She caught it first." He ruffled my hair, his voice gentle. "Be good. Give it back to Natalie for now. We'll wait for the next time." The spotlight—and the guests' attention—shifted with the bouquet, settling on Natalie. I looked at her startled yet shy expression, then rested a hand on my stomach and forced a bitter smile. Mason didn't know there wouldn't be a next time. Our eight-year promise had already come to an end, and we still hadn't taken the step into marriage. And I had already promised my parents, who were royalty, that next week, I would leave and return to Montelvia to inherit the family legacy.

Jusqu'à mes dix ans j'ai été la fille la plus heureuse du monde. J'étais insouciante. Je prenais du plaisir à aller partout. Les gens que je rencontrai à San Francisco n'avait aucun préjugé sur ma couleur de peau. Que j'ai la peau blanche, des cheveux crépus(enfin plus bouclés que crépus quand même) et blonds, des yeux tirant sur le vert et tout ça avec un père noir, une mère et un frère métissés n'a jamais fait tâche. Jusqu'à ce que j'arrive à Dakar C'est dans la ville où j'aurai dû me sentir plus chez moi où je me suis sentie étrangère et non désirée. Les gens en dehors du cercle familial me regardaient bizarrement. J'ai découvert la méchanceté gratuite et la mise en quarantaine alors que je ne suis porteuse d'aucun virus mortel ni autre maladie grave. Juste parce que je suis albinos je mérite qu'on me traite de la sorte. À la limite je préférai être mise en quarantaine parce que quand on me parle c'est pour me traiter de sorcière, de Djinn, d’être maléfique et je ne sais quoi d’autres. On a même accusé ma famille d'avoir pactisé avec le diable pour être riche et que j'étais le résultat de ce pacte. Devant moi certains parents ne se gênaient pas d’interdire leurs enfants de m’approcher. Au début ça me touchait mais maintenant ça ne me fait plus rien. . Ce qui est bien dans mon cas c’est que j’ai tout ce que je veux. Il suffit juste de demander.
