Nach dem zweiten Sonnenaufgang

Nach dem zweiten Sonnenaufgang

Ich hatte mein ganzes Leben im Schatten meiner Schwester Juliana verbracht, jener Frau, die im Erbenkreis der Mafia von allen geliebt, bewundert und beschützt wurde. Sie wusste nicht, dass ich wiedergeboren war. Genau wie in meinem früheren Leben lächelte sie sanft und süß und bestand darauf, dass ich meinen Verlobten zuerst auswählte. Nach außen gab sie sich rücksichtsvoll und großzügig. Doch dieses Mal lehnte ich ab. In meinem früheren Leben hatte ich naiv geglaubt, sie meine es gut mit mir. Ich heiratete den Mann, den sie mir empfahl: Chester Kane, einen Erben, von dem es hieß, er sei nach einem Hinterhalt gelähmt worden. Ich verzichtete auf mein Erbrecht und wurde seine Pflegerin, seine Stütze und sein Mittel gegen die Einsamkeit. Doch egal, wie viel Wärme ich ihm gab, sein Herz blieb kalt. Die Wahrheit kam erst bei der Feier zur Schwangerschaft meiner Schwester ans Licht. Als ein Attentäter aus einer rivalisierenden Familie seine Waffe auf ihren Bauch richtete, stand der Mann, der jahrelang nicht hatte gehen können, plötzlich auf. Er stieß mich vor den Lauf der Pistole. Sieben Kugeln rissen meinen Unterleib auf. Während ich zu Boden sank, sah ich, wie er meine Schwester an sich zog, sie mit seinem eigenen Körper schützte und den letzten Schuss für sie abfing. Erst da verstand ich alles. Er war nie gelähmt gewesen. Seine Familie hatte ihn niemals aufgegeben. Er hatte seine Krankheit nur vorgetäuscht, weil Julianas Herz einem anderen Mann gehörte und er sich nicht an mich binden wollte. „Es tut mir leid, Tania“, sagte er. „Ich habe dich belogen. Aber ich konnte nicht zulassen, dass Juliana das Erbenkind verliert, das sie in sich trägt. Was ich dir schulde, bezahle ich im nächsten Leben zurück.“ Als ich die Augen wieder öffnete, war ich zurück an dem Tag, an dem mein Vater uns aufforderte, unsere zukünftigen Ehepartner zu wählen. Dieses Mal wählte ich niemanden. Nun aber waren sie es, die um meine Liebe flehten.

All Against One

All Against One

I took time off work and flew out to be my best friend's maid of honor. The moment my plane landed, she picked me up and took me straight to the hotel. Not long after we got to the room, she handed me a shopping bag. Inside was the newest phone on the market, a bottle of luxury perfume, and a check for ten thousand dollars. She said with a bright, excited smile, "It's your bridesmaid gift. Even if I'm getting married, you're still the most important person in my life." My eyes filled with tears right there. The next morning, I woke up before sunrise. I put on my bridesmaid dress and went to find her. She was sitting in front of the vanity mirror. Stylists were moving around her, busy with her hair and makeup. When she saw me, she turned with a huge smile and waved me over, her face glowing with excitement. But the moment I stepped closer, her expression changed. It was like she had just seen something disgusting. "Get out." Her voice was low, but the disgust in it was clear. "Disappear from my sight. Right now." I froze where I stood.

After the Second Sunrise

After the Second Sunrise

I had spent my whole life living in the shadow of my sister, Juliana, the woman everyone in the mafia's heir circle adored and protected. She had no idea that I had been reborn. Just like in my previous life, she smiled sweetly and gently, insisting that I pick my fiancé first, pretending to be thoughtful and gracious. However, this time, I refused. In my previous life, I naïvely believed she meant well. I married the man she recommended, Chester Kane, an heir who was said to have been paralyzed after an ambush. I gave up my right to inherit the family, becoming his caretaker, his crutch, the medicine he used to fight loneliness. However, no matter how much warmth I gave him, his heart remained frozen. The truth only came out during my sister's pregnancy celebration. When an assassin from a rival family raised his gun toward her belly, the man who had not stood in years suddenly rose to his feet. He shoved me toward the muzzle of the gun. All seven bullets tore into my womb. As I collapsed, I saw him pull my sister into his arms, shielding her with his own body and taking the final shot for her. Only then did I understand. He had never been paralyzed. His family had never abandoned him. He pretended to be sick because Juliana's heart belonged to another man, and he refused to be tied to me. "I'm sorry, Tania," he said. "I lied to you. However, I couldn't let Juliana lose the heir she's carrying. I'll repay what I owe you in our next life." When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my father asked us to choose our marriage partners. This time, I chose no one. Yet back then, they were the ones who begged for my love.

The Hidden Millionaire in My Bed

The Hidden Millionaire in My Bed

I turn down a dream research program at Hefford University just so I can stay and help my debt-ridden boyfriend run a burger stand. This time, he says he's serious. I give him all the money I've saved up over the years, hoping we can build a better future together. A few hours later, I discover he's forgotten two hundred dollars in the drawer. I grab the money and run out, hoping to catch him. What I catch is a scene straight out of a corny movie. The loan sharks who used to beat and threaten him are now bowing and nodding deferentially. "Sir, I guess we don't need to show up at your house anymore, right?" Kurt Saunders rubs his temples and replies, "Yup. Anna gave up her entire future for me. She even turned down an opportunity to study at Hefford just to help me pay off my debts." Before he even finishes, his childhood friend lets out a giggle. "Kurt, that's still not enough. You'll only know if she really doesn't mind being poor if she sticks around through a year of flipping burgers without any complaints." Kurt looks at her sly expression and lets out a helpless laugh. "Alright, we'll do it your way. One more year of pretending. Anna would never leave me anyway." I stand there, listening to the sound of my own heart shatter. Kurt, you think I'm giving up my future for you, but it's still mine, and I can take it back.

I Was Not a Nobody

I Was Not a Nobody

Before my boyfriend, August Cadwell, marked me, we went to register our mate bond at the Pack Affairs Department. Without a word of explanation, he unexpectedly had someone throw me out of the office. Then he walked in with his childhood sweetheart. He didn’t even blink when he saw me sitting there on the ground, shaking with disbelief. "Hailey's pup needs to be part of the Aurelis pack. The best and quickest method is for her to register a mate bond with a werewolf from the Aurelis pack. As soon as we sever the mate bond, I'll form a mate bond with you." Everyone assumed the lovesick version of me would wait just one more month for him. After all, I'd already waited seven long years. But that night, I did something unexpected too. I accepted my parents' arranged mate bond and quietly left for the Lymerian pack, disappearing from his life entirely. Three years later, I returned to my original pack to visit my family. My mate, Ryder Weyland, was now the lycan chairman. Because of an urgent council meeting, he arranged for someone to collect me from the airport. I never imagined that “someone” would be August. The moment he spotted me, his eyes immediately landed on the sparkling bracelet on my wrist. "Isn't this a knockoff of the bracelet Ryder Weyland, the lycan chairman, spent two million dollars on for his mate? Didn't expect you to turn this vain after just a few years. "You've caused enough chaos, haven't you? It's time to return. Hailey's pup is now of school age. You can take on the responsibility of pick-ups and drop-offs." I gently ran my fingers over the bracelet on my wrist. Little did he know that this was the cheapest one Ryder had ever given me.
