“You helped your sister to run away with her boyfriend, right?” Aadil Waziri yelled at his newlyweds wife Inayat and he shook her head. “I didn't know she would run away.” She defended herself. “That means you knew. Then you could have told me about that. I would have backed out. I would never marry her forcefully. Now see what you have gotten yourself into. You spoiled both of our lives. You are stuck with me forever and me with you. But you have to pay for it. I will make your life hell. You are really my wife in papers but I will never claim you as my wife.” Pointing his finger at her he snarled at her. “Then why did you agree to marry me? You could have said no to this marriage.” Now Inayat lost her temper and yelled at him which enraged him more and he grabbed her jaw firmly, looking deadly into her eyes. “Because I want to ruin your life. You have to pay for your sister’s faults all your life. Welcome to my hellhole.” Saying that he let go of her face with a jerk and started laughing like a maniac.

Ma meilleure amie, Maya, est arrivée pour ma semaine d'enterrement de vie de jeune fille. Mes derniers jours de liberté. Elle a insisté pour qu'on fasse une soirée entre filles à la maison pour fêter ça, en commandant tous mes plats préférés. Elle m'a demandé de tenir son téléphone et d'attendre un instant. Puis l'écran s'est allumé. Un message d'un mec. Une photo torse nu. Le texte disait : « J'ai besoin de toi ce soir. » Une autre image est apparue aussitôt. Des sex-toys. Du matériel de bondage, tout droit sorti d'un film. Mon visage s'est embrasé. Mon cœur cognait violemment contre ma poitrine. Je venais de tomber par hasard sur sa vie secrète. Mais l'image suivante a glacé mon sang. Un gros plan sur le torse de l'homme. Une cicatrice irrégulière, profondément marquée. Je la connaissais mieux que mon propre reflet. Elle appartenait à mon fiancé, Luciano Carbone.

I became a payment to my father’s debt. Put into an auction in the black market with a million dollars stashed on my head. And then, he saw me, wanted me, and purchased me.I somehow became his prize possession. His sweet lovely doll he can toy with whenever he wants. Play with my feelings and make me go crazy. I detested him for making my life become a daily living hell.… ….a caged bird robbed of its wings. However, the anger cultivated in me evolved into something I could not ignore. A feeling unknown, yet I always craved. A little touch from him burns me, sending me off my senses, yet in a blissful sensation spiraling down to my soul and to the middle of my desire. He consumed all of me till nothing was left.

C'était censé être une simple punition, mais au final, je suis morte congelée dans la chambre froide. Mon fiancé, héritier de la famille Vesta, Karl Vesta, ne s'est souvenu de moi que trois jours plus tard. Maintenant, je flottais ici, le regardant trembler tandis qu'il me serrait dans ses bras, observant ses yeux brisés, voyant enfin qu'il recomposait toute la vérité. C'était trop tard, Karl. Mais ce n'était pas grave. J'étais là à te regarder. À regarder comment tu allais affronter le fait que c'était toi, de tes propres mains, qui avais enfermé la personne que tu aimais le plus dans une tombe.

Sebuah kapal yang sentiasa berlayar di lautan nan luas, menjadi bualan dongeng di seluruh dunia. Pelbagai rahsia diperkatakan, kewujudannya dipersoalkan.

Jadi, bagaimana jika kamu mendapat peluang meneroka kapal ini sendiri?

My fiancé was drugged at a party and spent the night tangled up with Isabelle Parson, the housekeeper's daughter. Afterward, Isabelle turned up pregnant, and Adrian tore up our engagement right there at our engagement party. "Leah, Isabelle is carrying my child. I have to marry her. I know you still love me. After I marry Isabelle, you can keep being my lover." I agreed to break off the engagement on the spot, then turned around and married Gordon—the man I'd once refused in a family alliance. At my wedding, Adrian stood before the guests and mocked me with an icy smile. "So this is what you've sunk to without me—marrying a pauper on the verge of bankruptcy. I'm the richest man in Jeffolton City. All you have to do is beg, and I'll let you come back to me." I looked at him with a thin, distant smile. He still didn't know—whoever I marry would become the richest man in Jeffolton City.

She spent five years searching for the man who saved her life… She never imagined she’d fall for both brothers instead. Mia Perez has lived with a ghost—an unnamed stranger who once stepped between her and death on a dark, violent night. He disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only a fleeting memory… and a single, unforgettable detail. Since then, Mia has built her life around finding him—the man she believes she owes everything to. But when fate finally brings her back into the orbit of the powerful Carter family, nothing unfolds the way she imagined. Killian Carter is bold, reckless, and dangerously charming. The moment he recognizes Mia as the girl his twin brother once spoke about with quiet reverence, he makes a ruthless decision—to claim her first. What begins as a calculated act of revenge soon spirals into something far more complicated. Kade Carter, the quieter and more controlled twin, has no idea that the woman now entangled with his brother is the very girl he saved years ago. Yet something about Mia pulls at him—something familiar, something he can’t ignore. Caught between two identical men with opposing hearts, Mia finds herself drawn to both—the fire and the storm. But secrets begin to unravel. Lies take root. And as obsession, rivalry, and betrayal collide, Mia is forced to question everything she thought she knew. Who really saved her that night? And more importantly… who will she choose when the truth finally comes to light?

In order to avenge Lily Bauer, an orphan staying with the Frostfang pack, Ethan Hawkins doesn't show up at the agreed time on the day of our betrothal party. He only sends his Beta to my door with a message. "Last time, you injured Lily with wolfsbane pollen, humiliating her at the pack gathering. Today is just a lesson. Apologize to Lily and send over the necklace she likes, and then we'll get betrothed." Overnight, I become the laughingstock of the entire pack. My brother, Ryan Fuller, says, "Lily just lost her parents. Let her vent her anger. Ethan is meant to be your mate anyway. Delaying your betrothal by a few days is no big deal." Really? It isn't a big deal? The Frostfang pack's ancestral token isn't something just anyone can covet. I turn around and grip the wolf-shaped crest offered by the Blackwood pack. "I accept the Blackwood pack's proposal for a mate alliance."
