La Llorona Before She Died

They say that the deepest cuts come from the ones you hold closest to your heart. But I never expected my husband to be the one holding the knife while another woman twisted it in deeper.... My name is Ariana Carter. I am deeply in love with my husband Misha, and we have the perfect marriage. Scratch that, HAD the perfect marriage, or so I thought until he changed. His lies and betrayal broke me. Until I woke up. Now it's time for me to retake everything I lost--my life, my career, my family, and my dignity. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's start at the beginning, shall we?

El día en que descubrieron que yo no era la verdadera hija de la familia millonaria, la auténtica heredera irrumpió en la casa y me apuñaló varias veces en el vientre, condenándome a perder para siempre la posibilidad de ser madre. Mi prometido estalló de furia por lo ocurrido y mis padres, desesperados, declararon de inmediato que no volverían a reconocerla. Para calmarme, mi prometido me pidió matrimonio a toda prisa, mientras que mis padres escribieron una carta de ruptura con ella, pidiéndome que me enfocara en recuperarme. Después dijeron que ella había huido al extranjero y que había terminado vendida en otro país, un destino trágico y merecido. Yo lo creí. Hasta que, seis años después de mi matrimonio, vi con mis propios ojos a la supuesta “desaparecida”. La encontré recargada en el pecho de mi esposo, con un vientre abultado, suspirando con fingida melancolía. —Si hace seis años no hubiera perdido la cabeza y cometido aquel error, Liliana jamás habría tenido la oportunidad de casarse contigo. Por suerte tú y mis padres siempre estuvieron de mi lado; de lo contrario, esa impostora me habría mandado directo a la cárcel. Esa maldita… jamás se imaginó que he vivido todo este tiempo bajo sus narices… y ahora llevo en mi vientre a tu hijo. Cuando nazca, busca cualquier excusa para “adoptarlo” y así la tendrás de por vida como mi sirvienta. Gracias por estos años, Mauricio. Su mirada cargada de ternura hizo que el rostro de Mauricio se encendiera. —No digas eso… casarme con ella fue la única manera de mantener tu nombre limpio y que siguieras viviendo en libertad. Todo vale la pena, si tú estás bien. En ese instante lo comprendí: el hombre al que llamaba mi verdadero amor me había engañado todo este tiempo, incluso, mis propios padres. Habían hecho absolutamente todo para proteger a su hija biológica. Bien si así son las cosas… entonces yo ya no los quiero en mi vida.

Diane was the daughter of pack hunters. Her world shattered the night she walked in on her five-month boyfriend and chosen mate in bed with her best friend. He wasn't remorseful and accused her of being the cause. Heartbroken and humiliated, she ran to the one place where the pain might disappear — a nightclub. She got drunk and had a one night stand with a stranger. It was supposed to be one night with no names shared and no consequences. Until the new semester began — and that same stranger walked into her classroom, no longer just a man from her past, but her math teacher. Leo is more than he appears. He is the vampire Prince in disguise and he's come to the Red Moon Pack territory on a mission of revenge — to destroy the wolves who murdered his mother. Vampires and Werewolves are grave enemies so he was supposed to hate Diane and even kill her to protect his identity. But Instead, she became his everything. Fated mates. It was a Forbidden love but it was too late. She was pregnant for him. Diane must choose between her heart and her pack.

My wife cheated on me—with my cousin. The three of us were headed to sign divorce papers when bam—car crash. Next thing I knew, I was back on the day we got our marriage license. This time, no fights, no drama. We both knew it was over. She ditched me for Jason fast and skipped the country with him. I stayed behind, buried in law books and case files. Five years later, she was famous—thanks to Jason pulling strings. Concerts, cash, fans screaming her name. Me? Still grinding at a law firm, backing folks who needed real legal help. Then came the family reunion. She showed up on Jason's arm, smug and shining, throwing shade like it was sport. But when I mentioned I was settling down with someone else? Her face snapped. "I made one dumb mistake! How DARE you move on?!"

"Ms. Stout, please read the requirements carefully. Once you submit your personal profile and sign up, all of your information will be sealed. You must then enter the research institute within 15 working days. Until the research results are made public, you will not be allowed to leave." The response from the National Academy of Sciences Research Institute came quickly, accompanied by a form. Shermaine Stout stared at the screen, but the mouse in her hand suddenly felt as heavy as lead. The door to her room suddenly swung open, and Shermaine blinked, quickly closing the laptop without a trace of emotion.

Le jour du verdict, mon fiancé Alfred Fresnel m'a suppliée de renoncer à plaider non coupable et d'accepter l'aveu de culpabilité. « Je sais que tu es innocente, mais elle porte mon enfant. Je peux pas la laisser croupir en prison », il a serré mes mains en sanglotant, « Ségolène, c'est aussi pour ton bien. » J'ai signé alors l'aveu sans hésiter. Dans ma vie antérieure, j'avais obstinément refusé d'endosser le crime à la place de Romaine Jégou. Résultat : non seulement j'avais écopé de prison, mais Alfred, fou de rage, m'y avait fait torturer jusqu'à la stérilité permanente. Cette fois-ci, j'ai choisi de lui donner satisfaction. Le lendemain, les médias ont déversé des nouvelles sur mon « vol de secrets commerciaux ». La vraie coupable, Romaine, a joué même le témoin oculaire : « C'est bien elle ! Je l'ai vue s'introduire en catimini dans le groupe Thiers ! » Mais l'après-midi même, à l'audience, le plaignant Isaac Thiers a retiré plainte. Sous les regards médusés de l'assistance, il a sorti même une bague de fiançailles et a mis un genou à terre : « Ségolène, cette fois-ci, veux-tu m'épouser ? »

The moment I tasted blood in my mouth, I knew it wasn't mine. It was hers. Again. They said I was weak. An omega. A wife. A shadow. But I burned everything they gave me—and walked away. Now, years later, I am back. Not as his mate. Not as his Luna. But as someone stronger. Someone he can’t control. He looks at me with those green eyes like I’m still his. But he gave me away. To her. Sienna smiles like a queen. But behind those lips, I smell lies. And death. They want me close. They think I’ll break. But I didn’t rise from ashes to fall again. This time, I’m not running. I’m hunting. And they won’t see me coming.

My CEO wife insists on taking a young, fresh intern under her wing. She wants to train him personally. She says to me, "Don't overthink this. I just value his potential." She's always been stern and stoic, but she starts dressing in pink and pulling her hair back in high ponytails. On our third wedding anniversary, she and the intern even willfully disappear for 48 hours. When others are searching for her like mad, she shares photos of her riding a carousel and holding cotton candy. She captions them, "I found the purest of joys in the most joyful of places—all because of you!" Our company loses a huge project because of this, and I lose my wife. I slip a divorce agreement between the pages of the intern's application to become a permanent staff member. My wife signs it without even looking and says, "Knowing what Elliot can do, he's more than capable of carrying out the role of a vice president." I calmly hand her my resignation. "You're right. That's why I'll make way for him."
