I Keep My Exoskeletons To Myself

The day I recovered from my mental illness and got discharged, my parents held me in their arms with tears of happiness. My sister gave me a teddy bear and said she had been waiting for me to come home. I comforted my parents who were crying and accepted the gift from my sister. I slowly got used to ordinary life and became the real daughter of the Schmidt family. To show their preference for me, my parents transferred the family business into my name on my sister’s 18th birthday. But I cruelly murdered the family of three who cherished me on this day.

A tale of reincarnation, royalty, betrayal, and redemption—where love can both heal and destroy. She died betrayed. She woke up reborn… in the body of the princess who was to marry the man she once lived. Lana Alvarez was once a princess turned slave after her kingdom fell to the brutal Moonray pack. She died heartbroken—abandoned by the boy she loved and tormented by his jealous fiancée. But fate gives her a second chance. Reincarnated as Deva Loren, the daughter of a powerful alpha, Lana is to be wed—again—to Aaron Shrova: the man who broke her. Deva walks on a thin line between vengeance and the feelings she thought had died with Lana as she’s determined to expose Sophie and make Aaron pay for breaking her heart. With a manipulative wife clinging to obsession and power, a love triangle laced with betrayal, and a kingdom at the brink of war, Lana—now Deva—must decide: will she fight for justice, or will her heart betray her again?

Adira and Chloe grew up separated by their mother’s love. Chloe got the best of everything from her mother, while Adira was expected to fend for herself. Their Mother’s favoritism has fostered hate, competition and jealousy between the sisters. This caused Chloe to be a spoilt, entitled young woman that has no regard for other people’s feelings. And the one person that suffers the most because of this is Adira. Adira has learned to take care of herself because no one else will. She’s independent and self sufficient. But she still struggles with finding her own place in the world when her sister is at the center of everything. Adira has to carve her own way, find a way to come out from under her sister’s shadow and selfish nature. But Chloe is determined to make her sisters life a living hell.

The third year after I got diagnosed with intermittent amnesia, I happened to overhear my husband, Lucien Rook, chatting with his friends. “Lucien, Anneliese loses her memories every couple of months, and you keep making us impersonate you to live with her. Aren’t you afraid that one of us might take it all the way one day?” “What’s there to be afraid of?” Lucien laughed uninhibitedly, swishing the alcohol in his glass. “Annie is cold and distant. As long as you guys don’t tempt her, she won’t have any such desires. “But I’m warning you now. You can act all you want, but you can’t ever sleep with her. Once I’ve had my fun, I will be going home to her.” For three years, every time I lost my memories, Lucien was not the one who would hold my hand and embrace me, or even sleep with me in the same bed. In three years, I had lost my memories nine times, and nine men had pretended to be my husband. What they did not know was that my amnesia had been cured two years ago.

She had always been a good wife and did every house chore and never for once did she complain even when she was poorly treated by her in-laws. One day her husband comes home with a divorce paper and she signed it after crying and begging. But soon her ex-husband and the whole world were about to know her hidden identity and what would be their reaction?

Everyone loved my older sister. When the novel I wrote shot to popularity, she got jealous and suddenly proclaimed that she wanted to be a popular author too. My older brother, who was the editor-in-chief, immediately announced that I plagiarized my sister's story at my book signing and she ended up becoming the genius author while I got cyberbullied so much that I was too scared to leave the house. After I got married to a young heir from high society and lived a happy life, my sister told me that she had a crush on him for years and wanted to be his bride at least once in her lifetime. He did not even think twice about divorcing me and holding the wedding of the century with my sister. My family was afraid that I would sabotage their relationship, so they made me leave the country. However, my sister did not think that I was miserable enough. She came for me outside the country and pushed me down the stairs. I was lying in a pool of blood when my mother rebuked me, "Did you say something that made your sister unhappy again?" That was how I died in despair. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day my brother accused me of plagiarism.

May isang araw na lang si Iris Celeste Delgado para bayaran ang utang ng kanyang ama—kapag hindi, mareremata ang tanging tahanan nila. Bilang isang utility staff, wala siyang sapat na pera, kaya sa isang desperadong hakbang, pumayag siyang ibenta ang kanyang pagkabirhen sa isang matandang mayamang kliyente. Ngunit nagkamali siya ng silid. Pagkagising, hindi matanda ang nasa tabi niya—kundi si Alexander Corañez Jr.: ang gwapong, tahimik, at misteryosong CEO ng kumpanyang pinagtatrabahuhan niya. At sa halip na kalimutan ang nangyari, inalok siya nito ng isang kasunduan—isang pekeng kasal. Walang emosyon. Walang tanong. Pero may isang kondisyon: Bawal siyang mapalapit sa kahit sinong lalaki... maliban kay Alexander. Habang pinipilit niyang itago ang damdamin, hindi niya alam na ang lalaking ito ay hindi lang basta umaarte. Dahil para kay Alexander—lahat ng ito ay totoo. At sa pagbabalik ng ex nitong si Brigitte, magagawa pa ba ni Iris na panindigan ang kasunduan—kahit posible siyang masaktan?

"I want you... right here... right now." I breathed. His lips hovered over mine, his breath mingling with my own as he spoke. "Once I start, there's no turning back." I swallowed hard and nodded. My gaze dropped to his lips, full and tempting. I watched, craving, as his tongue swept across his bottom lip "How could I possibly want you to stop when my body is aching for your touch?" The words slipped before I could stop them. For a second, I thought he would push me away again, but then something in him snapped. His lips inched closer to mine, and his fingers lightly stroked my cleavage. The touch made my breasts push higher against my dress, my nipples tightening, my chest heaving as my heartbeat raced. It was all getting too intense, and I was tempted to run and pretend this never happened. But the ache between my legs was too strong to ignore. I wasn’t about to let this moment slip away. “Kiss me," I whispered, pressing my body closer to his in a slow, seductive tease. “Make me forget him....” A dark and intense forbidden love story about a good girl gone bad, Clairessa Hartwood thought she had it all—until heartbreak drove her to revenge.

On the day of our engagement, my Alpha mate Kane mistakenly thought that my mom had seduced his dad and almost killed his mom. He canceled our ceremony and forced me, who was eight months pregnant, to jump into the silver pit. Kane hated me for three years, and threatened me with my child to be the most humble slave in his pack, watching him and other women make love. "Aria, you destroyed my family! I will never let you go in this life!" Finally, I accepted my fate and stopped resisting, letting the guards throw me into the silver pit. However, when Kane found out that those things had nothing to do with me, he went completely crazy looking at the pool of blood in the silver pit.

I received a call the day before my wedding. "Miss McPherson, someone has thrashed your venue." I rushed to the hotel in confusion only to meet a woman waving my wedding photo. "You homewrecking skank! You seduced my husband and spent his money on this wedding!" The crowd believed her and went wild. Even the hotel manager piled on me. "I knew something was fishy when the groom never showed up! You're not his real wife!" The crowd turned into a violent mob. In that chaos, I miscarried. At the height of my fury, I texted my secretary: [Cancel the wedding, and kick Matteo Brando out of my company!] How dare he keep a mistress with my fortune! How dare she challenge me! I will destroy them!
