My CEO husband bribed the doctor to take the heart that was meant for our daughter and give it to his childhood sweetheart’s daughter instead.

He took his childhood sweetheart and her daughter on a trip around the world to celebrate a new life.

Connor's missing first love was found. When he received the police call, he lost his composure and rushed out of the office, forgetting to grab his jacket from the chair. The business partners he was discussing a new collaboration with were stunned, all of them unconsciously looking at Anne. "It's fine, continue," Anne withdrew her gaze from following Connor, offering a poised smile as she smoothly took over his unfinished words. "Regarding the investment in the new project..." An hour later, Anne personally saw off the business partners. She returned to her office, picked up her phone, and saw that there were no messages from Connor. Anne called Connor. After a few rings, the call was answered, but it was a girl's voice on the other end.

I take my daughter, Joy Silver, to the healer for a routine check-up. My Alpha husband, Ethan Silver, who has been away on a business trip for a few days, comes to pick us up. The moment we meet, he possessively pulls Joy and me into his arms. It's as if we are his whole world. But I catch a faint, unfamiliar scent. As Joy snuggles up to her father affectionately, I force a smile, ignoring the sudden tightness in my chest. It isn't until we get in the car that I notice a woman sitting in the back seat. So it's her scent. A thought that has circled in my mind countless times surfaces once more. I want to leave him.

"A great alpha handles pack affairs outside, and chores at home." my mate Luke had posted. I stared at these words. It was a post from my mate, Luke's Instagram. In the picture he was in a vineyard pruning grapes. Chores at home? Luke who would not even help me to clean a table was actually helping someone else. He had left this morning saying he was going on werewolf business, but from these pictures he was at a she-wolf's vineyard in our pack. A bitter smile escaped my lips as I quietly liked the post and put of my phone. Whatever was coming next, I did not know. But I knew it was over.

Everybody is different. May it be with the way you look, your sexual orientation or your beliefs and culture. Tori Kingstein has always thought of herself as someone who’s different. She never liked boys. Yes, she's gay. Tori then was sent to her mum’s old school, an all-girls boarding school in hopes of her not getting herself a boyfriend at a young age. But jokes on her parents, cause she actually swings the other way around. And little did she know that entering Whistler High School for Girls would put her on a mission with other girls, like her who aren’t white, to end the discrimination, inequality, too much use of white privileges and the use of wealth and power to stay on top by some students, especially by the school's student council officers. After knowing this, Tori is set on finishing her mum's past role in this group—and that is to destroy the unfair treatment of the school and the student council to students who what they call “aren’t white and as rich as them”, but Tori has a secret. It’s just that... She might have a tiny bit of crush on the student council's president who's no other than Amelia Harriet Williams. What could go wrong, right?

Fierce is very smart and independent on her own as a child. She is proud of being Fuentebella and will never settle for anything less until her delicate heart's like the adopted boy of the Fuentebella, Lief Patrick Trevor, the green-eyed handsome boy. Mula sapol alam na ni Fierce at Leif ang naramdaman nila sa isa't isa kaya buong akala nila ay sila ang nakatadhana hanggang sa isang gabing kalasingan ay nagising si Lief with Skyee, ang pinsan ni Fierce, ang kanyang adopted sister na harapang inamin na gusto siya hanggang sa nagbuntis ito. Leif choose responsibility over his greatest love for Fierce, so he choose Skyee over Fierce and the latter walked out the door with her heads up high claiming...She is Fierce Valentine Fuentebella, and she will never be an option, she will never beg for love nor cried for it because only the man who truly loves her deserves her. After seventeen long years since Fierce made her graceful exit into Lief and Skyee's life, their path crossed again. This time, Fierce wants to measure if through the years her love for him dies... or just sleeping and waiting for the perfect timing. But this time is desperate and will do anything to get the father of her children back if it means she'll have to forget that she is Fierce Valentine Fuentebella, with no pride but just a woman who falls in love.
