At three months pregnant, I was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy. My husband, a doctor, was overwhelmed with worry, pulling every string he could to arrange surgery and remove the baby. "As long as you're okay, it doesn’t matter if we don’t have our own child. We can always adopt. I can't lose you, Evelyn!" Heartbroken, I blamed myself for being useless, for failing to carry our child, and for disappointing my husband. But then, I accidentally saw his chat messages with another woman on the phone. "Don’t worry, I already told her she had an ectopic pregnancy." "I’ll have her sign the adoption papers soon, then find a way to bring you into our home." "Asher is my only son. I will make sure he inherits everything I have!" That was when I realized that the husband I loved so deeply had long since built another family behind my back.

Une fois tombée enceinte, on m'a saluée comme la femme la plus précieuse du monde souterrain. Mon mari, le nouveau Parrain de la famille Jenkins, a fermé toute la zone de service d'un hôpital privé pour mes examens, tandis que mon père, le Parrain Collins, a convoqué tous les chefs étoilés Michelin de New York dans le manoir, juste pour que je puisse choisir ce que je voulais. Le bébé que je portais était destiné à être l'unique héritier des deux familles mafieuses les plus puissantes. Mais le jour où nous devions signer les papiers garantissant l'héritage de mon enfant, ils sont tous les deux disparus. « Une affaire familiale urgente est survenue », a dit mon mari, Vincent, en m'embrassant le front. « Nous pourrons finaliser l'héritage de l'enfant à notre retour. » Peu de temps après leur départ, j'ai reçu le lien anonyme vers un live. La voix de mon père est sortie de la vidéo, plus froide que je ne l'avais jamais entendue. « Vous dites que votre contrat de mariage avec Evangeline n'a jamais été valable. Cela ne fait-il pas l'enfant illégitime ? » Vincent, allongé dans une boîte, a soufflé un anneau de fumée. Bercée dans ses bras se trouvait ma demi-sœur, Sarah. « Evangeline a toujours eu tout l'amour et l'affection. Son enfant ne manquera de rien. » « Sarah a été moquée de son statut pendant des années. Je dois arranger les choses pour elle, donner à notre enfant un nom légitime. » À cet instant, mon cœur s'est serré, et j'ai à peine pu respirer. Puis mon téléphone a sonné à nouveau. C'était un texto : « Bienvenue dans la famille Gallo, ma reine. » « Adressez simplement votre parole, et l'enfant que vous portez portera le nom de Gallo et deviendra l'héritier le plus puissant du monde souterrain américain. »

Heartbroken and traumatized Scarlett Cobbs was reminded of the wedding she was bound to have before her twenty-sixth birthday and her world began to crumble again. Her lover mysteriously disappeared a month ago and now she has to get married to someone she hates and also hide her addiction from the public. A vacation was needed.

I suffer from extreme mental illness. My sister, Ava Monroe, became a facial model to earn money for my expensive medical treatment. She was 5’3” tall but was noticed because of her beauty by a wealthy young man by the name of Dominic Pierce with a leg obsession. He imprisoned her. “This is the most beautiful face I’ve ever seen. If only your legs were a bit longer, I’d die with a smile.” Ava was forced to have leg-lengthening surgery. After the operation, her legs began to rot. Dominic found her disgusting and locked her in the basement. He tortured her until she died. I got kicked out of the mental health institute because I could not pay the medical fees. I found Dominic surrounded by beautiful women with long legs. “Those are the prettiest legs I’ve ever seen. If only your face were a little cuter, I’d die with a smile!” I pointed to the painting of Ava and scoffed, “What if I become her?”

First day of school, and my roommate Sharon hits me with a $50k guilt trip over some "limited-edition" suitcase. "You're blind or just too dumb to walk straight?" My boyfriend? Useless. Classmates? Total sheep. The dean? Clown. Then I really looked at Sharon. Wait a sec—wasn't she the same scholarship case my family covered?

Sometimes the strongest promises are the ones we’re afraid to say out loud. Tae Min and Haru have always been inseparable — top students, childhood best friends, and the quiet center of each other’s world. But as their shared birthday approaches, small misunderstandings begin to reveal something deeper beneath their easy laughter. A jealous glance. A stolen phone. A secret rooftop meeting. What starts as playful teasing slowly turns into a confrontation neither of them is prepared for. Tae Min hides his feelings behind irritation, while Haru struggles to understand why his heart races whenever Tae Min looks at him a little too long. As rumors stir at school and emotions grow harder to ignore, both boys must face a difficult question: Is their bond strong enough to survive the truth? Tender, emotional, and filled with slow-burning tension, Unbreakable Bonds is a coming-of-age story about friendship, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to risk everything for someone who already means everything.

When Joy Staton, my adoptive sister, fainted in the freezer on her birthday, William Staton, my brother, checked on the security footage in rage. The moment he saw that I was the one who took Joy into the freezer, he kicked me inside without hesitation. Before shutting the door, he stared at me in disgust. “You’ve been pushing your luck a lot these days, huh? If I’d been a second too late, Joy would’ve died!” I wanted to defend myself, but William refused to listen and slammed the door shut. I heard him talking to the bodyguards outside. “If she doesn’t apologize, don’t let her out!” But he did not know that Joy had set the freezer to –58 °F. I did not even have the strength to complain about the freezer being cold. William did not know that the sister he once loved dearly had stopped breathing in the freezer. He had killed his only blood relative left in the world.

"You lazy fool, what the hell are you still doing sitting down here?" Her stepmother raged, "Are you thinking about Alpha William." She smirked. "You better get him out of your mind because he is way above your league." Jane could feel inside of her cringe at her step mothers words. "I…I.." Jane stuttered, her head downcast "Enough with the stuttering, it's past dinner time, and you are still here." She yelled. "You better behave yourself or face more consequences for your clumsiness." Her father chided. "You must not be reminded of your duties every other day."
