Emma Blanton twists her ankle, and my fiance, Matthew Harrison, insists on becoming her personal chauffeur. When I voice my disapproval, he makes an even more outrageous decision. He moves Emma into my apartment at Bellemont District—the apartment I bought with my own money. He argues like he's the victim, "You're being selfish. She's injured, and living alone is too dangerous for her right now. I'm just being a decent human being. "And that place is sitting empty anyway. Having someone there helps with security." On the morning we were supposed to get our marriage certificate, he doesn't show up. I call, expecting apologies. Instead, I hear, "Emma had a fever this morning—101 Fahrenheit. I had to take her to urgent care. We can postpone getting the marriage certificate. Her health can't wait." To hell with postponing! I grab my phone and call David Rockefeller. "Do you want to marry me? Then get to City Hall. I'm serious—right now."

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.

I stare at the email on my screen, unable to move my fingers. Tomorrow is our company's crucial product launch, and I just learn that the patent for the algorithm I spent three years developing is now filed under Matthew Ashford's new assistant, Sophie Bennett. I storm into Matthew's office to confront him. Sophie sits on his desk with her legs crossed, looking completely innocent. She claims that she filled out the form by mistake. "It's just a clerical error. The patent still belongs to the company. What's the big deal?" Matthew stands up from his chair, positioning himself in front of Sophie. I can't believe what I am hearing. "Matthew, this is my research!" "Emma, you're thirty-five. Why are you picking a fight with a twenty-three-year-old intern?" He frowns. Then, he turns to Sophie. "Starting tomorrow, you're the new CTO. Emma needs… some time off." I'm utterly stunned. A decade of marriage and five years dedicated to building a company together have been shattered by a few casual words from him. Thirty minutes later, Sophie posts a photo on social media of herself sitting on Matthew's lap. They are both clinking champagne glasses. "So lucky to have the best boss ever. I'll make sure to be his loyal kitten." Below that, Matthew leaves a comment—three red heart emojis. I shut my laptop and pick up my phone. "Hello. Is this Mr. David Langley from Novara Group of Sundale Valley? This is Emma Whitmore. I've changed my mind. I'm ready to join you." I pause. "And by the way, about that unreleased algorithm upgrade, I have the complete technical blueprint. Make me an offer." Later, I fly to Tallisport with an eight-figure check in hand, while Matthew goes frantic trying to find me.

⚠️ Novos capítulos todos os dias!! :D⚠️ Nicole Stanton, a mulher mais rica do mundo, apareceu discretamente no aeroporto, mas foi imediatamente atacada por repórteres. Repórter: "Sra. Stanton, por que seu casamento com o Sr. Ferguson chegou ao fim?" Ela sorriu e disse: "Porque eu tenho uma fortuna de bilhão de dólares me esperando como herdeira dos Stanton..." Repórter: "São verdadeiros os rumores de que você saiu com uma dúzia de homens só neste mês?" Antes que a herdeira bilionária pudesse falar, uma voz gelada veio de não muito longe. "Não, isso é notícia falsa". Eric Ferguson se destacou na multidão. "Eu também tenho um patrimônio de um bilhão de dólares. Por que você não herda a fortuna da minha família?"

When Alexander Smith stands in front of me and says he's going to marry someone else, that's when I realize he's been reborn too. I remember our 20 years of love in our past life. A plane crash. And then, rebirth. "This is to save Sophia," he says. "In our past life, she was sold to a Vostmark oligarch after her father's political scandal. Not long after, she took her own life due to abuse. I can't let that tragedy happen again, so I need to get engaged to her." As he speaks, he hands me an orange prescription bottle. "If you take this, you'll forget me for a little while. You won't feel the pain. It's just seven days. Once her father's scandal blows over, you'll stop the medication and your memory will return. Then I'll end the engagement and officially propose to you." I stare at the bottle, knowing it's a lie. Not the part about Sophia's suicide. The lie is about the drug. He thinks it only causes temporary memory loss. But I know better. The suppressant causes permanent damage to emotional memory. The seven-day countdown isn't the time it takes for my memories to return. It's the time it takes for my love for him to die.

« Le jour de la cérémonie de marquage, mon compagnon a été surpris en train de s'accoupler avec ma sœur Rosé dans la cabine des demoiselles d'honneur. Je suis devenue la risée de toute la meute. Alors que je brûlais de honte, l'Alpha Nate est intervenu. Devant tous, il m'a marquée. Après notre union, il a été aux petits soins pour moi. Pourtant, nous n'arrivions pas à concevoir un enfant… jusqu'à ce que j'aie recours à la fécondation in vitro. Enfin enceinte, j'ai reçu encore plus d'attention : même dans son sommeil, il murmurait « mon trésor ». Je croyais que c'était un bonheur offert par la Déesse Lunaire. Jusqu'au jour où je l'ai entendu parler avec le Bêta Julien de la meute : « Nate, tu es cruel. Diana t'est si dévouée, et pourtant… juste parce que Rosé a peur de l'accouchement, tu as secrètement substitué les ovocytes pour que Diana porte son enfant ? Il naît dans deux mois… Comment comptes-tu gérer ça ? » Un silence, puis un soupir : « Dès la naissance, je le donnerai à Rosé. Elle mérite d'être mère. Pour Diana… Je dirai que le bébé est mort-né. Elle n'est qu'une Oméga rejetée par tous. L'épouser était déjà une charité. » À cet instant, j'ai compris : sa tendresse n'était qu'un mensonge. Je suis partie et ai pris rendez-vous pour une interruption volontaire. Cet « enfant souillé » ? Je n'en veux pas. Ce mariage hypocrite ? Encore moins. J'étais une Oméga, oui. Mais pas un jouet !

Alguém poderia explicar por que aquele homem sempre de cara fechada, era tão difícil de lidar?!

Revenge. Sweeter than a kiss laced with honey. Hotter than the deepest depths of hell. And, it hits harder than a f*cking train… I want all of it. I need it more than the air filtering through my lungs. And the constant, unsteady but racy beat of my heart when I’m around them. Darius. Jace. Hunter. It took them five minutes to destroy my life. Faster than it took the eighteen years of my existence for my father–the alpha of the Black Syndicate–to ruin me. I was neglected. Abandoned. Rejected. Pushed around and outcasted by my pack. Now I have to prove myself so my father’s gang won’t kill me. All because of them and by the hands of my father. Want to know the worst part? They are working together. What they don’t know is, once I get released from the juvenile detention center for werewolves I was sent to because of them–I will tear them to shreds. One by one. I, Elise Cartwright, will get my revenge. NOTE: This is an enemies to lovers dark/mafia/werewolf romance where the girl will end up with multiple love interests. (Reverse Harem)
