Jarhead Buzz Cut

After being reborn, I quietly cut all ties with my husband, Nathaniel Cole. I go to work alone. I watch movies alone. Even when I cook, I only make enough for one. All because in my last life, I had married him only to be neglected for 40 years. At the very end, he coldly pulled the oxygen tube from me, spitting out words filled with hatred. "If I had a choice, I never would've married you!" I died in pain, filled with resentment. When I open my eyes again, my mother is speaking to me and my sister. "According to the marriage agreement, one of you has to marry Nathaniel. Which one of you will it be?" I'm just about to refuse when my sister, Catherine Brown, steps forward. She shoots me a contemptuous glance and says, "Mom, I'll marry him."

At eight months pregnant, I was hit by a car and gave birth early. But unexpectedly, I regained my hearing. Outside the operating room, my husband was talking to the doctor. “Mr. Griffin, the baby is fully developed and stable. A normal delivery should be possible—” Albert Griffin cut him off immediately, “No, induce the labor now! I promised Summer that I would let our child rightfully join the Griffin family. Paulina is almost a month old. If she gets any older, people will figure out the truth. “If this baby doesn’t make it, that’s fine. She can always have another one. But this is the only way she will truly believe that Paulina is her own child.” I closed my eyes tightly and forced myself to stay calm. He thought his lies were perfect, but he was wrong. I heard everything. And if he could lie and pretend, so could I.

Torn between fear, desire, betrayal and trust, Sienna must fight for her life and the life growing inside her.

“I’m sorry, Donna… the baby didn’t make it.” Those words shattered her world. Her husband’s betrayal finished the job. Once Luna of Ironclad, Donna is cast aside—rejected, beaten, and sold like cattle. The people who once bowed before her now laughed at her humiliation. Even her closest servants turned against her. “Five years without an heir. She has no value left.” But on the auction block, when all hope was lost, a stranger’s voice cut through the crowd. “One million.” The hall fell silent. His presence makes even Alphas bow their heads. And when his eyes meet hers, Donna felt it— the undeniable pull of a bond she thought was lost forever after being rejected. “She is mine,” he declared. “My mate.” Broken. Betrayed. Branded again by fate. Donna’s story is just about to begin.

After a reckless night and a scandal that went viral, her money is cut off. Pampered socialite Eloise Thorne, now stripped of her name, has to survive on her own and lands in the only place willing to hire her: a filthy garage. She expected grease and oil, but she didn't expect the lethal politics of rival gangs, or the chilling secret that their mechanics aren't entirely human.

Every day forces her deeper into their dark world, where a simple mistake means losing more than just her job. As Cane pushes her boundaries and demands her obedience, Eloise finds herself surprisingly drawn to the danger he represents. She came looking for a paycheck. She found a pack, a secret, and an Alpha who might consume her whole.

But all of that changed the day her father adopted her half-sister, Merry. From that moment on, Kelly’s world turned upside down. She lost her father's affection, and worst of all, Leo broke off their relationship without any explanation. But that didn’t stop Kelly from winning Leo back. And just when she thought all hope was lost, Kelly discovered she was pregnant with Leo’s child. Her dream of building a family with Leo was finally coming true. But before she could even say anything, the truth cut even deeper than she could imagine, after finding out the reason why Leo had left her. He left her for her adoptive sister Merry.

Le jour où Jeanne Vidal et Clément Weyland ont fêté leurs cinq ans de mariage, Claire Lefèvre, la femme que Clément n'avait jamais vraiment oubliée, est rentrée de l'étranger. Le soir même, Jeanne a trouvé Clément enfermé dans la salle de bain, en train de se caresser en chuchotant le prénom de Claire. Là, elle a compris pourquoi, en cinq ans, il ne l'avait jamais touchée. « Jeanne, Clio est revenue seule. Elle traverse une période difficile. Je fais juste ce qu'un ami ferait. » Elle : « D'accord. » « Jeanne, j'ai promis à Claire de l'accompagner sur une île pour son anniversaire. Je respecte juste ce que j'ai dit à l'époque. » Elle : « Très bien. » « Jeanne, pour ce gala, j'ai besoin de quelqu'un qui tienne vraiment la route. Et Clio correspond mieux à ce rôle que toi. » Elle : « Vas-y. » Quand Jeanne n'a plus crié, n'a plus pleuré, n'a plus fait le moindre reproche, c'est là que Clément a commencé à s'inquiéter. « Jeanne, pourquoi tu ne te mets plus en colère ? » Pourquoi ? Parce qu'elle allait partir. Fatiguée d'un mariage qui ne menait plus à rien, Jeanne a appris l'anglais en secret, a passé l'IELTS en cachette et a envoyé ses dossiers de candidature pour partir étudier à l'étranger. Le jour où son visa a été validé, elle a posé un dossier de divorce sur la table. « Ne plaisante pas, Jeanne. Sans moi, tu comptes survivre comment ? » Elle n'a rien répondu. Elle a pris son billet d'avion dans la foulée et a disparu de la vie de Clément. La seule nouvelle qu'il a eue d'elle, c'était une vidéo qui faisait le buzz sur les réseaux : Jeanne, en rouge vif, dansant sous le ciel d'un autre pays. Il a serré les dents. « Jeanne, même au bout du monde, je viendrai te récupérer. »

The day Ken Bowen and I finalized the divorce, I walked out wearing only the outfit I had worn on our wedding day. I let Ken keep the house, the cars, the money, and the kids. He looked genuinely surprised, then let out a mocking laugh. "Are you sure about this? You raised the girls yourself, and you're just giving them up? If you really don't want anything, then you won't need to pay child support either. That's fair, right?" I signed the papers without hesitation and said calmly, "Yeah. That's fair." Ken paused, then slowly signed his name. "If you regret this later, you…" I lifted a hand and cut him off. I didn't look back as I walked out. Ken used to say I married him for money and status, that I used our three daughters to tie him down. Whatever. The day he saw my dead body, he would finally understand.

Two men. One was her best friend. The other was her infuriating boss. One is the man she has loved for twelve years. The other is the man she despised with everything in her. Yet on her wedding day, they both stood there, one as the groom, the other as the man who would never let her go. “I tried to bury you. I told myself it was nothing. But watching you love him? That was the first time I understood what hatred really feels like.” One said, his voice filled with resentment sharp enough to cut steel. “I don’t need you to choose me,” the other whispered. “I just need you to know that no matter whose name you take… You will always belong to me.” Forbidden. Addictive. A love so wrong it tastes like sin. A hatred so raw it feels like desire. A twelve-year devotion. A buried obsession. Two brothers. One bride. Some loves are safe. Some loves are reckless. And some are powerful enough to tear a family apart.
