Kursi 99 Gaya

Pendant cinq ans, mon compagnon destiné, l'Alpha Kaël, et moi avons vécu 98 cérémonies de marquage. Et chaque fois, ses crocs s'arrêtaient juste avant de m'atteindre le cou. Tout ça parce que l'Oméga qu'il disait considérer « comme une sœur » s'évanouissait toujours au moment parfaitement choisi. Lors de la 99ᵉ cérémonie, cette Oméga s'est de nouveau « blessée ». « Je te jure que je terminerai le marquage la prochaine fois », a dit Kaël en soulevant l'autre louve dans ses bras, sans même me jeter un regard. J'ai alors brûlé la robe de Luna que j'avais portée 99 fois, puis j'ai remis ma robe royale de princesse du Royaume d'Ombrelune. Ensuite, j'ai brisé le lien du destin et je suis partie sans me retourner. Ce n'est qu'au moment où Kaël a été frappé par une douleur brûlante et qu'il m'a suppliée de revenir que le Chaman lui a dit froidement : « Elle est une vraie princesse. Et toi, tu n'as jamais été digne d'elle. »

I've been in love for six years, but my wedding has been called off 99 times by the man who claims to love me most, the mafia boss, Daniel Reed. The first time is on a private island off the coast of Sorellia. He promises me a secret wedding. But an hour before the ceremony, he gets a call saying that his new assistant, Emily Jennings, has been taken by a rival family. Without a word, he leaves me behind and sails off into the night. The second time, we're standing at the altar, exchanging vows. His underboss then leans in and whispers, "Emily's in trouble." Daniel tears off his boutonniere and walks out without looking back. Emily has been kidnapped again—this time, near the border district. He leads an armed raid that very night while I'm left behind, becoming the laughingstock in the mafia's VIP lounges. No matter when I schedule the wedding, Emily always ends up in danger. And Daniel always runs to her without hesitation. Eventually, I realize I will never win against the reckless Gen Z assistant who constantly drags him into chaos. After the 99th cancellation, I decide to break up with him and disappear from Valemont. I move out overnight, erase every trace of myself, leaving nothing behind. But I never expect him to go completely mad. He shuts down the ports, searches every villa, and unleashes his entire family's intelligence network just to find me. His eyes burn red like a wild animal on the edge of collapse. "Elara," he growls, "just give me one more chance."

私の名は桐原司紗（きりはら つかさ）。結婚式の当日、妹の桐原瑠月（きりはら りづき）が一時帰国した。 私の両親、兄の桐原遼（きりはら りょう）、そして婚約者の橘川悠真（きっかわ ゆうま）は、皆私を置いて、瑠月を迎えに空港へ向かった。 瑠月が大勢に愛されていることを自慢げにSNSで投稿する中、私は何度も電話をかけたが、冷たく切られるばかりだった。 唯一電話に出た悠真は、「わがままを言うな。式はまた挙げられる」とだけ言った。 彼らは、私が最も楽しみにしていた結婚式で、私を笑い者にしてしまった。周囲から指さされ、嘲笑の的にされた。 私は冷静に一人で全てを片付け、日記に新たな数字を記した――99。 これで99回目の失望。もう彼らの愛など期待するまい。 留学の申請書を書き上げ、荷物をまとめた。 皆は私が大人しくなったと思っているだろうが、実は去る準備をしているのだ。

離婚して半年、元夫が突然SNSでトレンド入りしていた。 その理由は……「今の奥さんが飛び降り自殺した」から。 しかも、自殺する時に握りしめていたのは、長々とした98ページの「家訓」のプリントアウト。 飛び降りた理由？ 「割引で1本200円になっていた醤油を買えなかったから」だそうだ。 そして記者が押し寄せてきた。 「この家訓、暗記してました？」

結婚式の前日、婚約者は私の本心を試すため、家族全員をクルーズ船に招く。 風が強く波が荒くなる時、彼は突然私の母を海に突き落とし、自らも海に飛び込む。 私は板挟みになり、焦りでいっぱいだ。 母は既にかなり水を飲み込みながらも、弱々しく私を押しのけて叫ぶ。「陽介を先に助けて！彼は泳げないの」 必死で川口陽介（かわぐちようすけ）を岸に引きずり上げ、母の元へ戻ると、彼女は既に息絶えている。 陽介は私が悲しみに泣き崩れるのを冷ややかに見ながら言う。「芝居はやめろ。君の母は若い頃水泳選手だっただろう？死ぬわけがない。 僕を真っ先に助けようとしなかった。佳恵の言う通り、君は僕を愛していない。 結婚式は延期だ。いつ君が反省して、母を連れて謝りに来た時、改めて結婚の話をしよう」 そう言うと、彼は幼なじみの藤原佳恵（ふじはらかえ）を連れて去っていく。 しかし彼は知らない。母が数年前の大病以来、もう水に入れなくなっていたことを。 今の彼の一押しが、直接、母の命を奪うことになったのだ。

In the blink of an eye, Natalie became someone’s wife due to a misunderstanding; and the man that she was married to was a man that she did not dare to provoke nor hide from. Her marriage had been a colossal lie.If she could have had her way, she definitely would not have married this stone-cold and stubborn man.She just simply could not stand the disharmony in this marriage anymore.Plus, they agreed to only be married for 100 days, and he would let her go after he was satisfied with her. However, 99 days later, Madam Winters was crying while clutching her stomach.She was pregnant now, what could she do?

Every time my husband cheated, he gave me a bracelet. I collected 99 bracelets in four years of marriage—I forgave him 99 times. He was away on a business trip for three days lately. When he came back, he brought home a rare bracelet worth Ten Million Dollars. That was when I knew it was time to ask for a divorce.

I see an anonymous poll online after Aidan Spencer returns to me and our family. "Does a man feel guiltier to his wife or mistress after cheating?" 99% of the voters chose "mistress". I turn to Aidan. "Do you agree with this?" He puts down his book, a hint of indescribable fatigue in his cool gaze. "I'm already back with you, Lily. What else do you want from me?"

A woman runs, holding onto her torso as she keeps glancing behind her. Tears spilling from her already wet cheeks. She catches her breath and screams as the hurt in her chest tore her up internally. "Why... why?!" She cries as her clenched fist hits her broken heart. Her lover tried to rid her of their unborn baby. She was hurt. She felt betrayed. She grew to hate him with all of her being. Still, memories of the love they shared still plagued her. How could she possibly still trust him? And yet, despite her anxiousness, she still held onto a small scale sliver of hope. All she could do now, was to leave him and keep their child safe. *** 16 years passed and there stood a young boy with silver hair and bright amethyst coloured eyes. He smiles at the horizon, staring at the capital city of the country of Enoch. Finally, he was old enough to venture out into the great city. Said to be the largest and most prosperous of the kingdom. He holds firmly onto the hope of an exciting journey as he kissed his mother goodbye. Thinking of all the warning she gave him before his journey could begin. Once in the city, his life changed forever and his perilous struggles began.

My mate is the bravest patrol chief of the Sundara Pack. When the rogue straps a bomb laced with wolfsbane to me, I try to reach him through our mind-link. Once, twice... He blocks me 99 times. The rogue forces me to call for help, and when Aiden Campbell finally answers, his first words come blazing with anger. "Lina Rutherford! You're risking your life over jealousy again? Kate's pet snow wolf has been stuck in a tree for three days! "She loves that wolf like her own child—if I'm late to save it, that's on you! You'll be a murderer!" I laugh so hard that tears stream down my face. That so-called "trapped" snow wolf? It's simply climbed onto a slanted pine tree in the yard so it can lazily sunbathe on the branches. No one trapped it—it just doesn't feel like coming down. "Thank you, Aiden. You're amazing!" There comes a soft, delicate voice through the phone. It's Kate Summers—Aiden's late brother's widow and also his childhood sweetheart. The bomb's countdown ticks down to three minutes. With a calm heart, I send my final message. "In the name of the Moon Goddess, I sever our mate bond." And then, I cut the mind-link.
