I was eight months pregnant and had just gone into labor, but my Alpha mate, Damien, locked me in a silver cage in the basement to delay my labor. When I cried out for help, he just told me to wait. Because his late brother's mate, Victoria, was also giving birth that day. The Pack Seer had foretold that only the firstborn pup would be blessed by the Moon Goddess and become the future Alpha. "The title belongs to Victoria's child," he said. "She lost Marcus. She has nothing. You already have all my love, Elena. The silver cage will make sure you deliver after her." The contractions were torture. I begged him to take me to the clinic. He grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him. "Stop pretending. I should've known you never loved me. All you've ever cared about is wealth and status!" "To force your labor early, just to steal what belongs to my nephew… You're truly wicked." Pale and trembling, I whispered: "The pup is coming, I can't stop it. Please, I'll make a blood oath. I don't care about the inheritance. I only love you!" He scoffed."If you loved me, you wouldn’t have forced Victoria into that contract to give up her pup’s birthright. I'll come back for you after she delivers. After all, that's my pup in there, too." He stood guard outside Victoria's delivery room. Only after he saw the newborn pup in her arms did he remember me. He ordered his Beta to release me. But the Beta's voice trembled. "Luna… and the pup… they're dead." And in that moment, Damien went feral.

Zayn Ulrich and I have dated for seven years. However, when he's prosecuted and sent to prison, I leave him without hesitation. I turn to his best friend instead. Now, Zayn is out of prison. He rises from the ashes and uses every means possible to force me into marrying him. Everyone says he truly loves me, but no one knows the truth. Every night after our wedding, he brings different women into our bed, not even sparing my own sister. This is his punishment for my so-called betrayal. What he doesn't know is that I risked my life to clear his name—I willingly walked into a mafia hideout and traded one kidney and half my liver for the key evidence that saved him. Unfortunately, my time is running out.

The day I decided to donate my body to science, my family gathered around my adopted sister, Hailey, celebrating her acceptance into a cutting-edge experimental treatment program. The one with brain cancer was supposed to be me. But Hailey used my husband Zane's position at the hospital to swap her healthy medical records with my terminal diagnosis, stealing the one chance I had to survive. And the worst part? Everyone cheered her on. The pain became too much. I fought to stay present, only to overhear the nurses whispering, "It's a good thing Dr. Zane secured that spot for Hailey. They said she only had three days left." So, in the last 72 hours of my life, I quietly let go of everything. When I gave Hailey the original manuscripts of my novels I had poured my heart and soul into, my father and brother gave me a satisfied smile. When Zane decided to grant Hailey her dying wish by marrying her, he handed me the divorce papers. I signed without a moment's hesitation. He sighed and praised me for finally being "so reasonable." And when I was the one who coaxed our daughter, Olivia, into calling Hailey "Mommy," Olivia gushed that her new mom was the best. "Don't worry," Zane soothed. "We're just keeping it safe for now. Once she's gone, it'll all come back to you." I gave Hailey everything I had, just like they wanted. So why, when they find out this was all Hailey's vicious lie, do they come crying, saying I'm the one they wanted all along?

Setelah hamil, tiap malam suami pergi lari malam. Hari ini dia buru-buru keluar, hanya pakai smartwatch, lupa bawa handphone. Aku tanpa sengaja melihat beberapa pesan yang dia kirimkan kepada rekan wanita. [Datang numpang makan nggak?

Kalau nggak salah, dia barusan kenalin rekan wanita ini ke adikku.

After I got pregnant, my husband started driving for Uber after work to help with household expenses. He wouldn't return home until the early hours of the morning. Then, on Valentine's Day, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my belly. I called an ambulance to take me to the hospital. When I arrived, I saw my husband entangled with another woman. Both of them were being wheeled into the emergency room. "Tsk, these two really have no shame, going at it right out in public," someone muttered. "They probably wrecked the car in the process, don't you think?" another chimed in. "What's even worse," a voice added with a hint of horror, "is that guy has a wife!" The bystanders gasped in unison. "His wife must be devastated." Whether his wife is devastated or not, I don't know. But one thing is certain—he'll be going straight to hell for this!

I’ve always felt the child that I’ve cared for the past three years was not mine. My mother-in-law told me I was overthinking and was just tired. However, I remember it clearly. My child had a birthmark on their left arm.   Even my husband said it was nothing more than a dream I had after passing out during labor.   Still, I began to suspect that my in-laws swapped my child at birth.  

Ma meilleure amie, qui insistait pour ne pas se marier, a enlevé le sperme que j'avais choisi lorsqu'elle m'a accompagnée à la FIV, et je savais alors qu'elle était née de nouveau elle aussi. Dans ma vie précédente, je voulais avoir un enfant métis, alors j'ai eu recours à la FIV. A l'époque, mon amie se moquait de moi, me considérant comme complètement idiote d'élever un enfant pour un étranger, mais elle ne s'attendait pas à ce qu'un demi-mois plus tard, je sois emmenée chez la famille royale à Dubaï. Il s'est avéré que le sperme que j'avais choisi appartenait au prince métis de huit nations de Dubaï. Non seulement il voulait m'épouser, mais il promettait aussi que notre enfant hériterait du trône. Mon enfant et moi avons été valorisés par toute la famille royale, et j'étais parée de bijoux qui brillaient de mille feux. Ma meilleure amie, en revanche, a été licenciée de son entreprise et exclue de l'industrie en raison de son féminisme excessif, qui a suscité la colère de ses collaborateurs. Lors de la fête du 100e jour de mon fils, elle a utilisé toutes ses économies pour acheter un billet d'avion afin de venir me rejoindre. Lorsque je l'ai accueillie, elle a tué mon fils en le jetant par terre et a versé sur moi de l'acide sulfurique concentré. « Qu'est-ce qui te rend si chanceuse ? Tu ne le mérites pas, sal*pe ! » En rouvrant les yeux, je suis revenue au jour où j'ai demandé à ma meilleure amie de m'accompagner à la FIV...
