Grand Xing Imperial Hotel

My dormmate invites me to a college mate's engagement party. I choose an expensive tailor-made gown for the occasion. When I arrive at the hotel, I see several of my former classmates are already there. Everyone looks like they're doing well—they're wearing expensive clothing. Someone is even wearing something from a luxury brand. As soon as I enter the private room, a familiar classmate rolls her eyes at me. "Look at who it is—the woman who was once the most outstanding student in our class. You're dressed so plainly for such an important occasion." Everyone is circled around the classmate who's wearing something from a luxury brand. They ignore me. Only our former class monitor clinks glasses with me and consoles me softly. "It's good enough that you're here. You're dressed plainly, but don't give up. You'll succeed one day." I sip my wine and smile. "My outfit may not be too opulent, but it's an expensive, tailor-made piece. It's 100% handcrafted by a master designer."

Après que la jeune femme humaine s'est accidentellement vendue à un milliardaire, ce dernier fut stupéfait de découvrir qu'elle était la clé d'un secret qui pourrait bouleverser son empire ! Le jour avant mon mariage, j'ai surpris mon fiancé au lit avec ma meilleure amie. Le choc et la trahison étaient insupportables. Alors, dans un moment d'impulsivité et de désespoir, j'ai pris une décision insensée : je suis allée voir le patron de mon fiancé, le mystérieux et puissant milliardaire Alexander Storm, et je me suis vendue à lui. Ce que je ne savais pas, c'est que cet homme incroyablement riche et influent n'était pas seulement un tycoon froid et distant, mais qu'il cachait des secrets bien plus sombres. Pourquoi Alexander semble-t-il obsédé par moi depuis notre rencontre ? Que signifient les murmures de ses employés sur « l'élue » ? Et surtout, que va-t-il se passer maintenant que je porte en moi le futur héritier de son empire ? J'ai essayé de m'échapper, mais Alexander est venu me retrouver. Chaque fois que je pensais pouvoir m'éloigner, il revenait, plus déterminé que jamais à me garder près de lui. Pourquoi me considère-t-il comme une pièce indispensable dans ses projets ? Suis-je un pion dans un jeu plus grand, ou y a-t-il une part de vérité dans ses mots lorsqu'il murmure que je suis « sa destinée » ? « Lana, ma chère élue, sois ma reine. » Attends… Élue ? Ai-je bien entendu ? Mais je ne suis qu'une femme ordinaire ! Alors pourquoi un homme comme Alexander, connu pour être impitoyable et inaccessible, semble-t-il prêt à tout pour me garder à ses côtés ? Quels secrets se cachent derrière son regard intense et son empire colossal ? Et surtout, que m'attend-il au-delà de cette nuit fatidique où j'ai signé un pacte qui pourrait changer ma vie à jamais ?

I'm having a mental breakdown as I face a clogged drain with my feverish and fussing daughter in my arms. Meanwhile, my husband has reserved a hotel to celebrate another woman's birthday. My mother-in-law spits on the floor. "This is what you deserve. You can't even capture a man's heart!" I clench a fist around the winning lottery ticket in my pocket. I want to get a divorce.

Setelah menagih utang dari keponakan tunangannya, keesokan harinya tunangannya memberikan sebuah buku catatan utang yang tidak pernah dilihat oleh Lisa Garta sebelumnya. Buku itu mencatat setiap pengeluaran mereka selama lima tahun berpacaran. Dimulai dari es krim seharga empat ribu hingga tas-tas mewah yang diberikan olehnya. Bahkan biaya kamar hotel dan kondom pun tercatat di dalamnya. "Aku akan menanggung separuh biaya kamar hotel. Setelah dikurangi 200 juta yang kamu pinjamkan untuk Kelly, kamu masih berutang 4,16 miliar padaku. Kukasih kamu waktu satu bulan untuk mentransfer uang ini ke rekeningku."

The Bloodfang Pack’s Alpha has declared a grand warrior match. A test of strength, cunning, and dominance. The werewolf who emerges victorious will not only earn the title of champion but will also claim his most beautiful daughter as a mate. But everyone knows this is just a formality. No matter who wins, I should be the one to marry Harken Shadowfang. He and I grew up together, our wolves intertwined by years of shared hunts and whispered promises beneath the full moon. He has always been my destined mate—or so I thought. The match begins, and Harken deliberately loses. I watch as he kneels in the dirt, breathing heavily, his sharp golden eyes flicking toward me with something cruel, something mocking. A chill runs down my spine. Why? Why would he do this? The victor stands tall, his fur still bristling from the heat of battle. Alaric Jaggedmane. A warrior through and through, his aura is heavy with the weight of a true Alpha—something Harken never had. Without hesitation, I step forward, lifting the warrior’s wreath. "Congratulations," I say, my voice steady. "You're now my husband." A furious snarl rips through the air. Harken storms toward me like a rabid beast, his fangs bared, his hands trembling as he snatches the wreath from my grasp. "Why didn't you pick me?" he demands, his voice bordering on madness. I meet his gaze without fear. Because in my past life, I did. I chose him. I thought he loved me. I thought we would be happy. But I was a fool. After my father’s death, Harken locked me away, keeping me weak with silver-laced drugs while he took his true mate, Ravyn Evermoon, to public events at his side. I was nothing but a tool. A stepping stone for his ambitions. A title to secure his rule. It was only then that I learned of his betrayal— of the three children he had already fathered with her. And so now, with this second chance granted to me by the Moon Goddess herself, I do not waver. I will not be Harken’s pawn again.
