Gut Health Artinya

My Alpha's ex-girlfriend finds an excuse to move in with us. Whenever she sees me and my pup, she clutches her chest and acts like she's devastated. My Alpha is sure that I'm deliberately showing off our pup to upset her. "I can't believe you keep flaunting our pup to get on Cissy's nerves! I have to teach you a lesson!" He orders his men to have our pup and me thrown into the basement. No one is allowed to bring me food. I try to escape, and I beg for mercy. I tell him our pup is weak because I wasn't in the best of health when carrying it. I also tell him a healer has advised me to be hospitalized for further treatment. He sounds like he's heard the world's biggest joke, and his tone is cold as he says, "How can you be weak when you made it out of being ambushed in the forest? Stop trying to make yourself seem pitiful! Stay in the basement and repent! This is what you get for making things hard for Cissy!" What he doesn't know is that, when I save him from the attack, I lose my wolf because I am injected with wolfsbane. During my pregnancy, I am also hospitalized many times in order to prevent miscarriage due to the fact that my body is too weak. The pup is in poor health and has been receiving treatment since birth. In the basement, I slash my wrists to feed my pup with my blood, but he still dies in my arms. My devastated howls reverberate in the space. Losing my wolf means I no longer have the ability to heal myself. I lie in a puddle of my blood as I hold my pup's cold body close. Three days later, my Alpha decides he wants me back when he drinks a cup of coffee that isn't to his liking. He says, "Let my Luna out so she can make me coffee and apologize to Cissy. She and the pup can be taken to the hospital if she's sincere enough." No one dares obey his orders—my blood is already flowing out of the basement.

Meine Stiefschwester schob mir die Schuld für ihre Allergie in die Schuhe. Also sperrten mich meine drei Brüder in einen engen, stickigen Keller und verriegelten die Tür mit einer Kette. Ich schlug mit aller Kraft gegen die Kellertür und flehte sie an, mich rauszulassen. Der älteste Bruder, ein erfolgreicher Geschäftsmann, funkelte mich nur kalt an, bevor er ging: „Du schikanierst Lilli sonst schon genug! Und lässt du sie noch absichtlich Meeresfrüchte essen, obwohl du genau weißt, dass sie allergisch ist? Willst du sie umbringen? Denk hier drinnen gut darüber nach, was du getan hast! ” Der zweite Bruder, inzwischen ein berühmter Sänger, und der dritte, ein genialer Maler, spotteten nur: „So böse wie du bist, tust du auch noch so, als wärst du unschuldig. Bleib schön hier drin und leid ein bisschen! “ Dann nahmen sie die zitternde Lilli in den Arm und fuhren mit ihr ins Krankenhaus. Die Luft wurde immer knapper, jeder Atemzug tat weh. Ich spüre, wie mir langsam schwarz vor Augen wird. Irgendwann blieb mir keine Luft mehr – und ich starb dort unten. Drei Tage später kamen meine Brüder mit Lilli aus dem Krankenhaus zurück. Da dachten sie plötzlich wieder an mich. Aber da war ich längst tot–erstickt in diesem engen Keller.

„Alles ist gut, Schatz.“ Das ist es, was Steven ihr seit Monaten sagt. Aber heute Abend, auf der Feier zu ihrem Hochzeitstag, wird Shirley das Gefühl einfach nicht los, dass etwas ganz und gar nicht stimmt. Ihr Ehemann, einst so aufmerksam und präsent, wirkt jetzt fern und unnahbar. Seine ausweichenden Blicke, sein gezwungenes Lächeln ... und diese eine SMS, die er so krampfhaft zu verbergen versuchte. „Wir können so nicht weitermachen. Du musst ihr die Wahrheit sagen.“ Die Nachricht leuchtet auf seinem Handy auf und Shirley spürt, wie ihre Welt aus den Fugen gerät. Sieben Jahre Ehe, ein Leben wie aus dem Bilderbuch: ein perfektes Zuhause, eine wundervolle Tochter, ein liebender Ehemann ... das dachte sie zumindest. Doch hinter den verschlossenen Türen ihres Heims türmen sich die Lügen. Und Shirley, das einstige Wunderkind, das ihre glänzende Karriere für die Familie aufgegeben hat, steht kurz davor, mit einer Wahrheit konfrontiert zu werden, die alles zu zerstören droht. Verrat, vergrabene Geheimnisse und unmögliche Entscheidungen – Shirley wird in ein Labyrinth der Täuschung gestoßen, in dem jede neue Enthüllung sie einer herzzerreißenden Entscheidung näherbringt: Bleiben und verzeihen ... oder alles aufs Spiel setzen, um sich selbst und ihr Leben zurückzuerobern? „Manchmal befreit dich die Wahrheit nicht. Sie zerreißt dich.“

Bella’s life takes a dark turn when her father’s debt to the Jacksons falls on her shoulders, and the price is paid in blood. Lucas, one of the Jackson brothers, steps in, claiming her as his wife to save her. But before the wedding, Bella finds herself drawn to Damon, Lucas’s enigmatic brother. The ceremony shatters when gunfire erupts, leaving Lucas critically wounded. As he lies in a coma, Bella and Damon grow closer, crossing a line they can’t undo. When Lucas finally wakes up, shaken by his brush with death, he pleads for a chance to make their marriage work. Damon, however, drops the bomb about their affair. Lucas whisks Bella away, determined to salvage what’s left, but secrets and unfinished business loom. Will Damon fight for her, or will Lucas prove he’s the one who can truly win her heart? While traveling through Europe, Lucas discovers Bella is pregnant, with Damon’s child. It’s a gut punch, but he decides he’s got to step up if he’s going to keep her. Just as things start looking up for them, life throws another curveball. A freak accident sends them tumbling down a flight of stairs, Bella breaks her leg, and Lucas fractures his spine, leaving him wheelchair bound. Determined to see him recover, Bella throws herself into rehabilitating him while secretly using her father’s hidden Swiss funds to build a company. Back in America, the family drama kicks into high gear. Bella’s accused of shoving Lucas down the stairs to get rid of him, because, of course, she’d risk breaking her own leg for that. Damon’s met with a version of Bella he doesn’t recognize, convinced she’s only staying with Lucas out of pity.

Aku meninggal di hari aku memenangkan Penghargaan Doktor Medis Global. Tiga jam setelah kematianku, orang tua, kakak laki-laki, dan tunanganku baru saja pulang dari pesta ulang tahun ke-16 adik perempuanku. Ketika adikku mengunggah foto keluarga kami saat merayakan ulang tahunnya di media sosial, aku sedang terbaring di ruang bawah tanah yang tertutup rapat dan berlumuran darah. Aku mencoba menggunakan lidahku untuk menggeser layar ponsel dan meminta bantuan. Di antara kontak darurat, hanya tunanganku yang menjawab panggilanku. Artinya orang tua dan kakakku telah memblokir nomorku. Begitu telepon diangkat, tunanganku hanya mengucapkan satu kalimat, “Karin, pesta ulang tahun Lina yang ke-16 itu sangat penting. Jangan pakai alasan nggak masuk akal untuk cari perhatian kami dan bersikap manja lagi!” Dia menutup telepon dan memutus harapan terakhirku untuk bertahan hidup. Jantungku berhenti berdetak karena nada sibuk telepon. Ini adalah ke-100 kalinya mereka memilih adikku, ke-100 kalinya mereka mengabaikanku, mengecewakanku, dan ini juga yang terakhir. Aku terbaring di dalam genangan darahku sendiri, merasakan napasku perlahan berhenti. Mereka mengira aku kabur dari rumah lagi sebagai alasan untuk melampiaskan ketidakpuasanku. Mereka pikir bahwa selama mereka memberiku pelajaran, aku akan kembali dengan patuh seperti 99 kali sebelumnya. Sayangnya, itu tidak akan terjadi kali ini. Karena aku tidak pernah meninggalkan rumah, aku terus terbaring di ruang bawah tanah rumahku.

Nachdem meine Zwillingsschwester Harper gestorben war, hasste mich mein Alpha-Gefährte zehn lange Jahre. Ein ganzes Jahrzehnt lang war ich seine Luna, und ich versuchte auf jede erdenkliche Weise, gut zu ihm zu sein. Eines Tages sagte er zu mir: „Wenn du mich wirklich um jeden Preis zufriedenstellen willst, dann stirb doch einfach.“ Als also ein Lastwagen auf mich zuraste, rührte ich mich keinen Zentimeter. Ich hätte niemals erwartet, dass Noah mich im letzten Moment zur Seite stoßen würde, um mich zu retten. Er wurde dabei schwer verletzt. Kurz bevor er starb, sah er mich an und flüsterte: „Charlotte, wenn ich dir nie begegnet wäre, wäre alles besser gewesen.“ Zu Noahs Beerdigung kamen alle Ältesten und sämtliche Mitglieder des Rudels. „Ich hätte Noah Harper als seine Luna wählen lassen sollen. Ich bereue es, ihn damals gezwungen zu haben, dich zu nehmen. Du hast ihn getötet!“ Noahs Mutter war von Trauer überwältigt. Auch Noahs Vater sagte: „Weißt du eigentlich, dass Noah dir dreimal das Leben gerettet hat? Er war ein so gutherziger Alpha. Warum bist nicht du gestorben?“ Alle auf der Beerdigung starrten mich voller Vorwürfe an. Am Ende wurde ich von der Trauerfeier hinausgeworfen, verloren und völlig verzweifelt. Drei Jahre später kehrte ich mithilfe einer Hexe durch ihren Zauber in die Vergangenheit zurück. Dieses Mal hatte ich eine Entscheidung getroffen. Ganz gleich, was passiert: Ich würde niemals wieder Noahs Luna werden.

My husband chooses to stay in a honeymoon suite with his secretary during a company teambuilding event. "I'm in poor health, so I need Mr. Lowe by my side to care for me when I'm taking a dip in the hot springs. I'm sure Elaine won't be mad because she's so generous, right?" My husband wraps an arm around her waist, sounding displeased as he says, "Ignore her. I'd have wasted my time on her if she's so petty!" Our colleagues chime in. "Exactly! It's best to get a divorce if your wife gets jealous so easily! Now, Ms. Klein is gentle and considerate. You're a lucky man, Mr. Lowe!" I'm the one who recruited all of these people into the company, yet they all now despise me. Since none of them like me, there's no need for the company to exist anymore. I text my parents. "Don't bother investing in the company anymore. I no longer want it."

“Do you take this woman to be your wife? For richer or poorer, in sickness and health, will you remain faithful to her for the rest of your life?” I looked at Bridget with deep affection and was just about to speak. “Wait!” shouted someone urgently. I turned around in confusion and looked toward the audience. There stood a man holding a baby in his arms. He said pleadingly, “Bridget, our child is hungry… could we pause the wedding for a moment?” Hearing this, everyone erupted in an uproar. It felt like a bolt of lightning had struck me. Only then did I realize that Bridget had a child with another man. Bridget hurried off the stage, then turned to me coldly and said, “I only agreed to marry you out of obligation. But the moment Vernon appeared, I knew it. There’s no one else I want to marry but him.” So, she took off the ring and dragged the man away without looking back. I stood alone at the end of the aisle and clutched the undelivered ring in my hand, as a flood of bitterness crashed through every corner of my heart.

His fingers slid into my hair, tugging just enough to tilt my head back and expose my throat to him. “We shouldn’t be doing this, Mr. Turner,” I breathed, my voice breaking on a gasp as he found a sensitive spot just beneath my ear and sucked lightly. His growl was low and primal, vibrating through my skin as he pressed his body against mine. I felt every hard line of him, his heat bleeding through my clothes. “Why not?” he murmured, his voice rough with restrained need. I swallowed hard. “You’re… you’re my ex-fiancé’s father.” He paused. For a moment, everything stilled… his breath against my throat, the air between us, even the rain outside seemed to hesitate. Then he lifted his head, and our eyes locked. His were a stormy blue, intense and unwavering. “No one has to know, Catherine,” he said quietly, his voice was like a dark promise wrapped in silk. Then he leaned in with his lips brushing the shell of my ear. “I can be your dirty secret.” A shiver ripped down my spine. His words settled deep in my gut, awakening something dangerous. I bit my lip. Every cell in my body screamed for me to walk away but I didn’t. Instead, I gripped the front of his shirt, pulled him down, and kissed him hard. Desperately. He rumbled low in his chest, kissing me back with equal hunger, his hands roaming my body like he already knew every curve. When he finally broke the kiss, I was breathless. Then he dropped to his knees between my legs, with his eyes darker now. “I’m going to show you the world,” he said. “If you’d let me.”

I'm a mafia princess with crippling social anxiety. My fiancé, Rocco Falcone, is our family's consigliere. He’s the exact opposite of me—extroverted, effortlessly charming, a master at reading and bending people. He's supposed to be my protector. My only link to the outside world. Tonight was the charity gala for my late mother. I was hiding in the darkest corner, a mask covering my face. Rocco was supposed to give the speech. My speech. He never showed. [Emergency. Sorry. Skip the speech, I know you hate the attention. Driver will take you home after the auction. Don't wait up.] Then I saw Livia’s new post. It was a picture of Rocco, draping his suit jacket over her shoulders. He was looking down at her, his eyes full of a tenderness he never showed me. The caption was a gut punch: [No prom date, so my big bro saved the day! Couldn't have done it without him! ] The cold hit me. Bone deep. He ditched a memorial for my dead mother... to take his stepsister to a university dance? The guests began whispering and sneering that I, the famously awkward, socially crippled princess, couldn’t even force a word out. I stared at the whiskey I’d ordered for him. The ice in my glass was melting. Just like the hope in my heart. When I got back to our empty penthouse, my screen was lit up with missed calls and texts from Rocco. The last one came in thirty minutes ago: [Aurelia, trouble at Livia's prom. You know how she gets. Couldn't leave her. Your mother's gala means everything. I'll make it up to you, I promise. Next time will be perfect. Trust me.] I didn't reply. An engagement held together by "next time." Was a promise like that even worth keeping?
