Kang Chi The Beginning Novels & Stories

Eight months into my pregnancy, my husband finally makes time from his police duties to go to a prenatal checkup with me for the first time. The moment we step into the hospital, his satellite-encrypted phone buzzes urgently. The caller ID flashes briefly, and just like that, the man who's always calm and collected panics. "Honey, it's a red alert. Another international fugitive just crossed the border. I… I'm sorry…" He's clearly anxious, yet his tone is firm, leaving no room for argument. After apologizing, he rushes off. As I watch his SUV speed out of sight, my fist clenches tightly, crumpling the prenatal checkup sheet. I flag down a cab, slide into the car, and swiftly instruct the driver, "Follow that car. Don't lose it." A Red Notice for a fugitive? What a joke. My father, who works at the National Security Agency, barely catches wind of a notice like that. Yet, somehow, a mere police chief who only assists with cases is suddenly tasked with catching a high-priority criminal. Fine, then. I can't wait to meet the superior who's given him such an urgent assignment.

Selene was just eighteen when her life was rewritten. Pregnant, abandoned, and forced into a marriage of convenience, she carried another man’s child down the aisle—without the man she married ever knowing the truth. Years later, her marriage to Tom Harold is a cage of cold words and hollow promises. Doctors insist she’s infertile, his obsession with an heir grows, and the woman who once left him now wants her place back. Then Rowland returns. The only man Selene has ever loved. The father of her child. The one whose touch still ignites a fire she thought she’d buried. Now, every glance, every touch, every word between them becomes a battle of desire and restraint. Tom’s power and possessiveness clash with Rowland’s passion and memory of love, and Selene is trapped in a dangerous game where her heart and her daughter’s future hang in the balance. She must choose: protect the secret that shields her child—or risk everything for a love that never truly let her go. In a marriage built on lies, the most dangerous thing isn’t betrayal. It’s the truth.

Pour empêcher le massacre du peuple sirène, j'ai décidé de monter à terre pour séduire mon ami d'enfance Cyrus, devenu Alpha. Il m'aimait encore et a fait l'amour avec moi passionnément pendant trois jours. Quand je me suis réveillée du plaisir, je n'ai même pas eu le temps de me réjouir qu'on m'a jeté un liquide corrosif au visage. J'ai poussé un cri de douleur, mais Cyrus a souri froidement à côté. « Alors, même une sirène immortelle peut ressentir la douleur ? » « Ce n'est que le début. Tant que tu ne révèles pas où sont mes parents, tu ne vivras pas en paix ! » Il a accusé le peuple sirène d'être responsable de la disparition de ses parents. Depuis ce jour, j'ai été forcée de le regarder flirter exprès avec sa maîtresse Emily. J'ai été obligée de retirer la Perle Sirène de mon cœur pour soigner le corps d'Emily. J'ai dû danser pieds nus en supportant une douleur atroce pour endormir Emily… Il m'a détestée jusqu'à la moelle, mais chaque fois que j'étais proche de la mort, c'est lui qui m'a prise dans ses bras pour me donner des médicaments. Parfois, il était cruel, « Tu crois que je t'aime donc je ne peux rien contre toi ? Qu'on continue de la torturer ! » Parfois, il était tendre, « Sois sage. Dis-moi où sont mes parents. » J'ai ressenti en silence son amour contradictoire. Bientôt, je n'ai plus eu besoin de garder le secret sur ses parents. Parce qu'une sirène qui restait trois ans sur la terre sans retourner à la mer finirait inévitablement par se transformer en écume. Il ne me restait plus que trois jours avant de mourir.

The impoverished student I had sponsored, Jacob Murphy, had accumulated a massive gambling debt. When the debt collectors had kicked the door open, my childhood sweetheart, Renee Austin, had shoved me forward instead. Her voice was cold and distant. “He’s Jacob Murphy. Take him away.” In the darkness of an underground casino, they tore out my fingernails, then smashed my ribs one by one with an iron rod. When the searing pain arrived, I groveled on the floor like a dog. I was weeping and screaming, without a shred of dignity. Then, they “mercifully” gave me one chance to call for help. Clinging to the last sliver of hope, I called Renee. Her voice on the other end sounded very cruel. “If you hadn’t set him up, how would Jacob have ended up buried in gambling debt? Even if you die at their hands, you deserve it.” The dial tone after she hung up became the last sound in my world. Later, I really did die, just as she had said. However, there was not the slightest trace of a smile on Renee’s face. It was as if she had gone mad. Her eyes were bloodshot as she searched every underground gambling den in the city. ‘Renee, why were you crying for me?’ I wondered.

In the delivery room, my wife, Ashley Chase, is now fully dilated, but she refuses to go through with the delivery. She insists that I have to agree to accept her betrayal first. "Henry Madden, I want you to swear that you'll treat this baby as if it were your own. Or else, I refuse to give birth today. The baby and I will both die in this delivery room!" The medical staff joins in, trying to convince me that life matters more than anything else—that all Ashley has done is make a mistake, and I should just live with it. Ashley's mother even slaps me when she sees that I haven't agreed yet. "You're just a loser who married into our family! You should feel honored that we're letting you be the father in name. Don't be such an ingrate!" Sneering, I grab the delivery consent form and write the words "do not agree". "Since Ashley is so keen to end both her own life and the life of her love child, I'll let her have her way."
