Grand Saber Fgo

When I opened my eyes, I found myself supposedly transmigrated to some ancient era. Every morning, before light touched the sky, someone would yank me out of bed to haul trash, chop wood, and do whatever filthiest job needed doing. Somehow, I'd become the lowest-ranked servant in the entire estate. The estate lord's son would climb onto my back and ride me around the courtyard like some pet he was proud to show off. Anyone in the household could hit me, kick me, or shove me aside, and not a single soul would speak up. Five years passed like that, so awful that I almost lost my mind, as if I were living in hell. Then one day, a group of servants cornered me. They didn't bother hiding their intention. The moment I saw their faces, I knew I was in trouble. Fists flew, boots landed, and everything blurred. Just before I passed out, I heard them whispering, "We're going to kill him if we keep this up." "Come on. This place only looks like some old noble estate. It's not an actual one. If he dies here, we're the ones who'll get dragged to court!" "Relax. Ms. Shaw will handle it. The idiot pissed off her childhood sweetheart. Getting tricked into this place is exactly what he deserves." Fear swallowed everything, and the world went dark. When I woke again, the lady of the house had conveniently "returned from visiting her family." The lord threw a grand celebration with tables full of food, wine flowing, and musicians playing like nothing had happened. I carried dishes into the banquet hall and lifted my head. Her face was the same as my wife's, Melissa Shaw. I set the final dish down, stepped closer, and in a voice only she could hear, asked, "Ma'am… are you enjoying your little game?"

New York. Cassandre Read est journaliste et mène une vie ordinaire. Mais tout bascule lorsqu’elle reçoit une lettre l’encourageant à régler la succession de son tuteur, Henry Black en se rendant à l'autre bout du pays. Propulsée dans une petite ville de Californie du nord, elle découvre un monde dont elle ignorait jusqu’à l’existence : des loups-garous vivant dans l’ombre des hommes, une prophétie oubliée et un Alpha puissant, Logan Black, qui prétend être lié à elle par un destin qu’elle refuse de croire. Mais Cassy n’est pas qu’une étrangère débarquée par hasard dans cet univers surnaturel. Elle est la clé d’une ancienne légende qui pourrait sceller le retour d’un dieu déchu ou l’anéantir à jamais. Entre les griffes d’une meute qui l’attire autant qu’elle l’effraie et les murmures d’un inconnu qui l’obsède, elle comprend vite que sa simple existence est une menace. Convoitée par des forces dont elle ignore tout, poursuivie par des ennemis tapis dans l’ombre, elle devra faire un choix : fuir, ou embrasser l’héritage qui coule dans ses veines. Mais le danger ne vient pas toujours de là où on l’attend, et dans cette guerre où le désir se mêle au sang, il se pourrait bien que son cœur soit son plus grand ennemi…

Estou grávida de oito meses. Meu marido, policial federal, finalmente conseguiu arranjar tempo para me acompanhar ao hospital pela primeira vez para uma consulta de pré-natal. Assim que entramos no hospital, o telefone via satélite criptografado dele começou a tocar de forma insistente. O nome do contato apareceu na tela por apenas um instante. Sempre tão calmo e controlado, ele claramente se desestabilizou naquele segundo. — Amor, alerta máximo. Um criminoso internacional procurado acabou de entrar no país... Preciso ir agora. Desculpa. Ele falava às pressas, com um tom firme que não admitia recusa. Antes mesmo de terminar a frase, saiu apressado. Fiquei parada, vendo sua caminhonete se afastar em alta velocidade. A guia do pré-natal em minhas mãos já estava amassada, marcada pelas unhas, até rasgada sem que eu percebesse. Com a barriga pesada, parei um táxi na beira da rua e disse rapidamente: — Senhor, siga aquele carro. "Criminoso internacional procurado? Essa desculpa era simplesmente ridícula." Nem mesmo a agência de inteligência onde meu pai trabalha havia recebido qualquer notificação. Ele não passa de um policial federal da linha de frente, responsável por dar apoio às operações. Como poderia, de repente, surgir uma missão tão urgente assim? Eu queria mesmo era saber que "superior" estava tão apressado para lhe dar essa ordem.

Ethan hand gripped her hip hard enough to leave marks, the other tangled in her hair as he pulled her head back, kissing and biting her neck like he couldn’t get enough. They didn’t even notice me. “She’s downstairs,” Juliana gasped between moans, her voice wicked and breathless. “Pregnant… all round and swollen… looking so ugly… and here you are… fucking me.” Ethan chuckled low and cruel, never slowing his rhythm. “She’s not my wife. She’s just an incubator.” ################ He thought he destroyed her. He was wrong. Serena Harrington trusted three people: her husband. Her best friend. Her mother-in-law. They were all lying. On the night of the grand vow renewal party, she caught them in the act her husband brutally fucking her best friend over their own bed while they laughed and tore her apart with every vicious word. Her mother-in-law watched it all with a satisfied smile. And her husband? He looked at her like she was nothing more than a transaction. Six years of marriage. Six years of lies. Six years of watching her back while they plotted her ruin. They took her money. They destroyed her name. Then they left her for dead. But Serena survived. She disappeared. She rebuilt herself. She became someone unrecognizable. Now, five years later, she’s back. Not as the desperate wife they mocked. Not as the woman they buried. But as their worst nightmare Ethan Cadwell took everything from her. Now she will take everything from him. Piece by piece. Dollar by dollar. Tear by tear. And when he’s finally on his knees… she’ll show him exactly what a Harrington does to those who betray her. They thought they buried her. They should have made sure she stayed dead.

At twenty-eight, I held the dubious honor of being the last unmarried socialite on New York's Upper East Side. Everyone around me was growing increasingly anxious about my single status. In my previous life, my mother arranged a matchmaking cocktail party, where I was told to choose a husband from ten handpicked elite bachelors. I bribed the event planner to place Mark West's profile at the very top—and as I had hoped, I chose him. After we married, Mark treated me with what seemed like tender affection. He even bought me an oceanfront villa in the Hamptons, making me believe I had finally found true love. But that illusion shattered the day I was nine months pregnant, just hours away from giving birth. Mark drove a scalpel straight into my abdomen—then, right in front of me, hurled our newborn onto the floor. "If you hadn't forced me into this marriage with your family's power, Sofia wouldn't have been heartbroken enough to go drinking and get drugged and assaulted. This… this is what you owe her!" He tossed the scalpel aside, then calmly let his private doctor pin down my blood-soaked body. I fought through excruciating pain for six agonizing hours, until I finally bled to death. Afterward, Mark dumped my corpse into the Hudson River. But for Sofia, he hosted a grand funeral—funded with my money, under my name—and paraded himself to the world as a grieving, devoted widower. Given a second chance at life, I refused to step foot in that cursed matchmaking event. Instead, I went straight to my mother with a demand: marry me to Robert Black—the most ruthless, cold-blooded titan of Wall Street, whose scarred face was feared by all. In the end, stripped of my financial backing, Mark's hedge fund collapsed. He became a disgraced fraudster, spat on by everyone on Wall Street.

In the fifth year of my mating to Alpha Tom, his childhood sweetheart, Becky Bell, was splashed across every tabloid in the territory. Pregnant. Unmated. And accused of shattering another couple’s bond. The rumors hit like a rogue’s ambush. But it was his reaction that truly gutted me. “Becky’s father once saved me, she has no pack, no family left. Everything she’s accomplished… she clawed her way to it. Alone.” My fingers clenched tighter around the pregnancy test tucked away in my purse. “And the only way to protect her now,” he continued, not even looking me in the eye, “is for me to marry her. To claim the pup as mine.” “And what about me?” I asked, barely more than a whisper. My voice cracked. The Sunfire Pack and the Golden Fang Pack—my pack—had been allies for over a century. “How do I explain this sudScott rejection to my parents? To my pack? To the elders? They know we're mate bond.” Alpha Tom inhaled sharply. “Just tell them it was always a business arrangement. That there was no real love between us.” My wolf bared her teeth at that. He had the audacity to look away. “Once the media frenzy dies down, I’ll come for you. I’ll bring you back to Sunfire Pack and give you the grand wedding you deserve.” I stared at him. This Alpha—was seriously telling me he was going to marry another she-wolf, claim her pup, let me get torn apart by pack gossip and speculation, and then what? he's offering me his marriage like it’s some kind of charity? My fingers twitched, aching to throw the pregnancy test at him. But I didn’t. I laughed. For three years, I had been the one he discarded—over and over. And now, even my marriage was to be sacrificed for her sake. It hit me then, sharp and cold: It's time for me to leave him

I'm Jax Ryder, heir to the most powerful investment group in Veridian City. I had just returned from studying abroad. My father, worried I might impulsively marry the wrong woman, arranged a marriage for me with Everly, the heiress to the up-and-coming Sinclair Group. It was strictly a business arrangement. But that didn't mean I intended to just go through the motions. At the very least, I had to personally bid on the mansion that would serve as our marital home. And so, I found myself at the annual Starlight Charity Gala. When the legendary prime real estate, the "Siren's Cove Estate," was presented as the final auction item, I raised my paddle. Just as the gavel was about to fall, an arrogant voice cut through the room. "What right does a nobody like you have to bid? Step aside." The grand hall fell silent, the only sound the frantic clicking of camera shutters from all corners. I turned my head. A man in a flashy, sequined suit stood there. He swirled the champagne in his glass, his posture reeking of arrogance. Before I could even speak, the auctioneer brought the gavel down. "Sold! Congratulations to Mr. Brian Vance on winning the 'Siren's Cove Estate'!" I frowned, a flicker of anger rising within me. "The bidding wasn't over." "That's against the rules." Brian sneered. He looked me up and down, his eyes filled with contempt. "The rules?" He curled his lip. "Listen up. I'm Everly Sinclair's favorite stepbrother. In Veridian City, what I say goes." I had to stop myself from laughing out loud. This was interesting. My fiancée's stepbrother. I pulled out my phone and dialed her number. "Everly, your dear brother just snatched the marital home I'd picked out. What are you going to do about it?"

My boyfriend came from a wealthy family. We had been together for seven years, yet he had never given me a single gift. When he proposed, he even asked for the diamond ring back so he could return it for a refund. Later, when we were about to register our marriage, he complained that the paperwork fee was too expensive and said it wasn’t necessary. However, not long after that, he registered his marriage with his childhood sweetheart instead. He even booked the most luxurious hotel in the entire city, eager to throw a grand engagement party. The shock was too much for my grandmother, and she suffered a heart attack. I dropped to my knees and begged my boyfriend to return the salary I had entrusted to him over the years, as I needed the money to pay for my grandmother’s surgery. He simply wrapped his arm around his childhood sweetheart and pretended not to know me. He said he would never help a lazy beggar who only knew how to freeload. Then, he ordered the security guards to throw me out. Later, my grandmother died on New Year’s Eve, her final breaths drowned out by the sound of fireworks outside. While everyone else celebrated the holiday season, I handled my grandmother’s funeral alone. At the same time, I accepted a job offer from a major overseas company. When I returned home to get my passport, the man—who had just finished introducing his sweetheart to his parents and was clearly in a good mood—saw me and assumed I was still throwing a tantrum. For the first time, he spoke generously. “Alright. What could possibly have happened to your grandmother? At worst, I’ll make it up to you with a luxurious wedding.” What he didn’t know was that from the moment my grandmother took her last breath, I no longer wanted to marry him.

Une semaine avant notre mariage, mon fiancé, Julien Valette, m’a laissée sans voix en m’annonçant qu’il devait d’abord épouser son premier amour avant de pouvoir m’épouser. « C’est parce que la mère de Manon est décédée », m’a-t-il expliqué d’un ton presque glacial, comme s’il s’agissait d’une simple formalité, « et elle souhaitait que je sois celui qui l’épouse… Sa mère a toujours rêvé qu’elle trouve un homme bien, et moi, je suis censé accomplir sa dernière volonté. Ne prends pas cela trop au sérieux. » Mais de mon côté, ma société avait déjà tout organisé pour notre grand jour, un événement qu’il avait qualifié de « mariage du siècle ». Elle avait même prévu de nous offrir un bijou exclusif de la collection True Love. D’un ton presque imperceptible d’impatience, il a ajouté : « Ce n’est qu’un milliard d’euros. Vraiment, qu’est-ce que c’est face à la piété filiale de Manon ? Si tu tiens vraiment à cette somme, trouve-toi un autre mari, je t’en prie. » Sous la froideur de ses paroles, mon cœur, lourd de déception, s’est serré. D’un geste mécanique, j’ai saisi mon téléphone pour appeler mon frère : « Noé, il faut que tu me trouves un autre futur époux. »
