Leslie Courtney

I am reborn on the day my wife, Courtney Clarke, embezzles company funds to pay off her childhood best friend, Travis Foster's, gambling debts. This time, I, Nathan Turner, don't sell my patents to help her plug her financial hole. Instead, I swiftly file for divorce with the court and cut ties with her. This is all because in my previous life, I had loved her with everything I had for 50 years. I was at her beck and call. She claimed she longed for a platonic marriage, and so I endured a sexless marriage for decades. All this lasted until the day of the shipwreck, when I gave her the last life vest. Yet, after she was saved, she never told the rescue team that I was still trapped inside the cabin. In my final moments, through a crack in the cabin door, I watched her throw herself into Travis' arms. "Trav, I love you. I only love you. From now on, no one will stand in the way of our love." In that moment, I abandoned all will to live, letting the sea swallow me whole. So this time, after being reborn, I choose to step aside and let her pursue her love.

Today happens to be Yvonne Ziegler's birthday. Yvonne is Shawn Jacobson's, my husband's, newly hired personal assistant. Shawn spares no expense in buying her a villa as a birthday present, and Yvonne haughtily takes to social media to show off on the day she moves in. "I'd like everyone to know that I'm married to a wealthy man now." Shawn comments on the post, saying, "Happy birthday, my beloved Yvonne!" In the picture, Shawn's hand rests intimately on Yvonne's slender waist, leaving no doubt about their intimate relationship. In that instant, the company's group chat erupts into a frenzy of notifications, as colleagues declare their envy of Yvonne and heap praise upon her for being young and accomplished. Oscar Jagger, my childhood friend, notices the picture and immediately tags me in the group chat. He then sends me a pointed, teasing message, saying, "Shawn's display of love is so glaring! Congrats on being cheated on, Leslie!" I manage a bitter, wry smile, taking my time to type out the response. "Do you need a villa as well, Oscar? I'm happy to give you a place—a much nicer one than Shawn's, of course."

À quelques minutes de deux cérémonies de mariage prestigieuses à Chicago, deux vies basculent. Emmanuella Johnson, jeune femme d'une beauté fragile et éthérée, et Logan Smith, héritier au charisme sombre, sont lâchement abandonnés à l'autel, laissant derrière eux une humiliation publique et des familles dévastées. Face au désastre, Leslie Johnson, la mère ambitieuse et stratège d'Emmanuella, voit dans leur malheur commun une opportunité. Elle propose une solution radicale à Logan, se marier l'un à l'autre. Un mariage blanc, une bouée de sauvetage mutuelle pour sauver les apparences, éviter le scandale et gagner du temps. Sans se connaître, poussés par le désespoir et la fierté blessée, les deux jeunes gens disent « oui ». Ils deviennent époux devant une assemblée médusée, unissant leurs destins par un pacte né du chaos.

I had been Joey Jensen's mate for six years when I was kidnapped by rogues while trying to protect him. After finally making my way back to the pack, I discovered he already had another she-wolf, Courtney Ogley, by his side. Worse, he even made my son, whom I had almost died giving birth to, call her "Mom". Heartbroken, I went to the Werewolf Council and demanded an explanation from Joey. Under pressure from the entire pack, Joey reluctantly exiled Courtney. But from that moment on, he blamed me for everything. He said it was my fault he lost his beloved, and that I had robbed our son of his mother. Even my own mother resented me, saying I had torn the family apart. Surrounded by coldness and endless accusations, I slowly slipped into despair. Later, when the pack declined and was overrun, I was captured and sentenced to be beheaded. Just as I prepared to face death calmly, Joey stepped forward and fought the wolves alone. I carried him on my back and escaped, but his injuries were too severe. He was already dying. With his last breath, he said, "Consider my life a repayment to you. If there's another life, please don't stand in the way of my happiness with Courtney." I agreed through tears. But in the end, I was beheaded anyway. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the very day I returned to the pack.

The bread knife stuck in Jon doe’s chest had an unusual pattern, I grabbed a camera from the nearest person and clicked a few pictures of the design “Email them to me.” I said as I was handing the camera back to them. It looked ancient and rare, not the usual bread knifes you’d find at our local stores here in Seattle. I looked up to find a detective watching my every move, it seemed that his one side of the face looked sunken in, similarly you only see this in people who don’t have teeth, which prompted me to look into his mouth, to find that all of his teeth had been pulled out. I sighed loudly and said “well, here goes our identification route of checking dental records, this body was left in the hopes that no identification will be made!” Craning my neck to have a look at the coroner who had just arrived on scene, I recalled working with her once before on another case when I first started as a rookie, Dr Leslie Adams is an expert in her field and one of the most professional and efficient woman. She looked down at me, and stated “Detective Rush you do know that the body you are looking at has been dead for more than 3 days, and also looks as if it was stored in a body freezer before being planted at this scene” I shook my head and realised that this is getting more intense by the second, “I hadn’t realised so Doc, that’s the reason we have you here, to help me solve the mystery “- I said whilst walking up to her, I held out my hand and gave her hand a firm handshake.

Naglalaro sila ng isang mapanganib na laro, naglilikot sa isang lugar kung saan madali silang mahuli ngunit sa tingin ko bahagi iyon ng kilig . Isang mainit na gulo. Isang mainit na boss. Isang napakaraming mainit na engkwentro na may pagnanasa na hindi mapaglabanan. Si Leslie ay parang walking ticking bomb hindi lang literal na "kapus-palad" ang ibig sabihin ng kanyang pangalan, ngunit iyon ang kuwento ng kanyang buhay. Pakiramdam niya lahat ng mahawakan niya ay biglang nagiging kalokohan. Lalo na pagkatapos ng hindi magandang pangyayari sa kanyang dating nobyo, lumipat siya sa studio na kanyang ibinahagi sa kanyang dating dahil sa panloloko na nangangahulugang bumalik siya sa bahay kasama ang kanyang teenager na parang mga magulang. Kaya naman kailangan niya ng bagong trabaho bilang personal assistant ni Damien Cameron Romano para makabangon muli. Ang tagapagtatag ng Boyce industries, Tatlong buwan sa trabahong ito at maaari na siyang lumipat at, sana ay magsimulang muli sa bagong tseke mula sa kanyang bagong trabaho. Sa papel, madali ang kanyang trabaho. Mag kape. Mag-book ng mga appointment. Panatilihing maayos ang lahat. Ngayon, wala na dahil hindi nagpapagaan ang kanyang amo sa kanyang seksing katawan at seksing mga mata. Imbes na tumutok sa trabaho niya ay walang tigil ang iniisip niya tungkol sa biglaang nakakapasong paso ng kanilang atraksyon sa isa't isa. Pero boss niya! Alam mo kung ano ang sinasabi nila tungkol sa paghahalo ng trabaho at kasiyahan: Hindi ito nagtatapos ng maayos.
