Lose Yourself The Voice

On our fifth wedding anniversary, my husband, Damian Pyke, once again left me for his first love. He said, "Taking care of a child alone isn't easy for Waverly. You're both women—can't you show her some understanding?" Not only was I willing to understand Waverly Benson, but I was also ready to step aside entirely so they could raise her child together. So, I packed my bags and applied for an overseas architecture program through my workplace. However, he eventually regretted it, crying and begging me not to go.

After four years of agony and longing, Jace and Arianne finally caught a glimpse of each other. Will they still hold on to their promise to love, understand and wait till the end? Or will they let go of their love and let those who wants to break them apart? Can a one night of being with each other help them to find a way to be together for the rest of their lives? Or will it make them disappear in each other's lives for good? Let's find out how Jace and Arianne find love, happiness and peace from all the bitterness and pains they both suffered from.

"Gale Warm, what the Warm family owes me is for you to pay!" Shawn Wood threw Gale Warm into a mental hospital, tortured and humiliated. Two years later, he married her. "Don't be delusional, you are just here to atone for your family sins." He hated her, and only wanted to bully her.Gale Warm endured it while searching for the truth, and proved her family's innocence. Later, Gale Warm threw the evidence on Shawn Wood's face. "I never owed you." Later, Shawn  Wood turned pale overnight. He whispered in her ear day and night. "Gale, don't leave me. Otherwise, I won’t be able to live..." "Shawn Wood, how dare you threaten me!" "How dare I? You wouldn’t want our children to have no father, would you?"

On the day my love fades away for good, I've finally learned something about my mate, Ethan Langley. He's not hopeless when it comes to directions—he just can't remember which path it is that leads to me. Ethan is the Alpha of the pack, whereas I'm his mate. We've been mates for ten years. But whenever I need him, he always gets lost. On the day of our marking ceremony, Ethan got lost in the pack territory. Because of that, the ceremony was delayed for another three days. Every year on the marking anniversary, Ethan would always get lost. The food in the evening banquet I always prepared would always go stone cold. When I was eight months pregnant with my pup, I sent an SOS message to him through the mind-link after I suffered from a bad fall. While Ethan screamed at me that he'd be there through the mind-link, he was physically lost in the pack territory for five hours. By the time our packmates came to my rescue, my pup was already dead. As I lay on the stone bed in the healing center, my packmates came over to comfort me. "Ethan can't navigate at all to save his life. He didn't do this on purpose. Don't get mad at him, okay? You two will still have pups in the future." I could only nod in a daze. But on the day we were supposed to attend our pup's funeral, I realized that Ethan was familiar with the road when he was behind the wheel in the SUV. He even took a detour just to drop by the residence of Lyria Jeffries, a female Beta. "Elena, there's still some time before the funeral starts. I'm going to send Lyria home first so that she can visit her family." Before I could object, the car had already stopped right outside Lyria's residence. Lyria got into the front passenger seat as though it was the most natural thing to do in the world. She wore a bright smile as she said, "Look at how well I've groomed you, Ethan! If you ever forget the way to my place, I'll make sure to skin you alive!" Only then did Lyria notice me, who sat in the backseat. She pretended to be bashful as she stuck out her tongue. "I was just kidding, Elena." I endured Lyria's "harmless" quips with a stony expression. But right after Ethan dropped Lyria off, he forgot the way to the funeral immediately. Because of that, the funeral was delayed by half an hour. As I held my pup's tiny urn, I felt my heart sinking into the pits of my stomach. It turns out that there exists someone who can be exempted from Ethan's hopeless sense of direction. It's just that… my pup and I are never the exception.

Vor einem Monat vergiftete ich mich ungewollt mit dem tödlichen Wolfsbane-Gift – unheilbar. Mein Körper begann Tag für Tag zu versagen. Bis heute wurde meine Wölfin endgültig getötet, und mein Leben zählte nun nur noch drei Tage. Am Tag vor meinem Tod willigte ich ein, meiner Schwester eine Niere zu transplantieren. Mein Gefährte war überglücklich und versprach, das später wieder gutzumachen. Nachdem meine Schwester meine Forschungsarbeit über den Belladonna-Trank plagiiert hatte und daraufhin im Schulforum beschimpft wurde, bekannte ich mich freiwillig als die eigentliche Plagiatorin. Meine Eltern waren zufrieden und sagten, ich sei endlich vernünftig geworden. Endlich war ich die ideale Gefährtin, die perfekte Tochter, wie sie es sich immer gewünscht hatten. Aber warum weinten sie alle, als ich nur noch eine kalte Leiche war?

"After a messy break-up, police officer Matthew Haldon is fine living in his cabin out in the woods all by himself. He has his dogs to keep him company and his job to keep him busy. He never expects to find love again, especially not with the woman he finds stranded on the side of the road during a blizzard. When Matt realizes that Holly Cook has nowhere to go, he invites her to stay at his cabin for the night. Holly is dangerous, though: with her fiery red hair and her bubbly personality, she tempts Matt like no woman ever has. As the snowstorm rages outside, Matt and Holly share a night that neither will forget. Yet Holly’s past isn’t about to let her go—and now, neither is Matt.

Ten years ago, I was the main culprit of the 715 explosion that shocked the entire country. Everyone believed that I took huge bribes from a corporation and tampered with safety data. In the end, I ended up burning myself to death out of guilt. Today marks the tenth year after my death. My former fiancé, Brody Pierce, extracts my soul from the particle database. However, he isn't doing it to clear my name. Instead, he wants to put my soul on trial in public. The courtroom is in an uproar. "Laura Quinn is a criminal! She is utterly heartless! Every cent of the dirty money she took is stained with our family's blood." "She even betrayed her own fiancé. There is nothing she wouldn't do for money!" "Mr. Pierce is a righteous man. He's personally putting that wicked woman on trial." The crowd rages, wishing they could annihilate my soul particles. Amid the overwhelming curses, the quantum soul analyzer begins to activate. Yet, when the pure white soul that represents absolute goodness appears, everyone is stunned into silence.

Ich wachte auf und war wieder 28 Jahre alt. Ich hatte Santino zwei Erben geboren, Zwillinge. Und mein Mann war Santino Genovese, der gefürchtetste Don der Mafia in Veridia. Er stand an der Spitze der Kommission der Fünf Familien. Sein markantes Profil prangte über mehrere Ausgaben hinweg auf dem Cover des exklusivsten Magazins der Unterwelt. Sogar die ältesten valerianischen Familien standen Schlange, um ihm ihre Töchter anzubieten. Alle Frauen in Altoria beneideten mich um mein Glück. Doch das Erste, was ich nach dem Aufwachen tat, war, die Scheidungspapiere zu nehmen. Die Tinte darauf war noch nicht einmal ganz trocken. Dann legte ich sie Jessy hin, seiner Jugendliebe. „Mein Anwalt kümmert sich um die Scheidung. Die Immobilien und das Vermögen gehören dir. Santino gehört dir. Die Kinder auch.“ Jessy saß mir gegenüber und konnte es nicht fassen. Ihre Augen waren vor Schock weit aufgerissen. „Bist du verrückt, Alessia? Ist das irgendein Trick?“ „Wie kann eine Frau, die seit sechs Jahren Donna ist, das alles so einfach aufgeben?“ Ich senkte den Blick. Meine Stimme blieb ruhig. „Da ohnehin alle dich bevorzugen, fand ich, dass es Zeit war, Platz zu machen.“ „Lass Santino einfach unterschreiben und seinen Siegelring in das Wachs drücken.“ „Sobald die Scheidung rechtskräftig ist, werde ich Veridia für immer verlassen.“ Diesmal würde ich nicht noch einmal denselben Fehler machen. Ich würde nie wieder eine Donna nur im Namen sein.

„Nur eine Regel“, erklärte er. „Freunde mit gewissen Vorzügen. Keine Gefühle, keine Romanze, keine Versprechen. Ich werde nur wegen des Sex so tun, als wäre ich dein Freund.“ Ich dachte darüber nach und lehnte dann ab. „Ich sage dir Bescheid, falls ich meine Meinung ändere.“ Tief in meinem Inneren war ich auch noch nicht bereit für etwas Ernstes. Ein weiteres gebrochenes Herz war das Letzte, was ich verkraften konnte. Eine einzige impulsive Nacht mit einem mysteriösen Fremden stellt Elara Dela Vegas Leben auf den Kopf … bis sie die schockierende Wahrheit erfährt: Er ist Kael Beaumont, der kaltherzige Milliardär und CEO, den alle fürchten. Was als strikte dreimonatige „unverbindliche“ Vereinbarung beginnt, entfacht schnell verborgene Gefahren, verzehrendes Verlangen und Gefühle, die sich nicht unterdrücken lassen. Sie hatte sich geschworen, sich nicht zu verlieben … aber was passiert, wenn der einzige Mann, von dem sie sich nicht lösen kann, genau der ist, vor dem sie fliehen sollte?

Seraphine Hale, a genius musician, announces her return to the country. When a reporter asks whether she's back for her first love, she smiles icily. "Are you talking about that trash? It wouldn't be any of my business even if he were to drop dead tomorrow." What she doesn't know is that I've already been dead for close to a decade.
