Ma'am

After being severely hurt by my husband once again, a reporter comes to me. "Ma'am, wasn't your husband one of the 'Top Ten Most Touching People' ten years ago after he saved you during the earthquake and ended up paralyzed on one side?" I nodded silently. "Ma'am, we're from the TV station, and we're preparing to do a program on the earthquake." I secretly rub my bruised arm and stare at him. "Alright, but could you film it covertly? My husband isn't comfortable with so many cameras around." But to my surprise, on the first day of filming, I end up getting wildly cursed at online.

Addison wakes up thinking this day is going to be like any other, but soon she finds out her uncle has other plans: she is going to marry King Gregory Dominis, the most handsome yet intimidating man she has ever met and the ruler of a far away kingdom. Now she is going to be the wife of a man that terrifies her and the queen of a place she knows nothing about. ******* excerpt ******* “I have great news for you, Addison,” he announced. “You are to be married today!” At first, his words made no sense, how could I be getting married today if wasn’t even engaged? I didn’t even have a suitor! “Ma… married?” I babbled. “Yes, don’t you know what married means? I don’t understand why you look so baffled, girls your age marry all the time!” He exclaimed. The king was right, it wasn’t unusual for girls my age to get married in Lerene, but they were usually informed in advance, not the very same day of the wedding. “But… today? It is so soon…” I mumbled. “I know, but the groom is a busy man who has no time for a long engagement,” he said. His reply made me realize I hadn’t asked the most basic question. “Who is the groom?” “I am glad you asked, Addison, because that is the best part,” he said smirking. “You are to be married to King Gregory Dominis of Dranda.” My heart sinked into my stomach. I felt like I was going to get sick. Did he just say I was going to marry King Gregory Dominis? How could I marry a man I have never met? And he was not just any man but a king!

I was anonymously reported for fraudulent credit card use and arrested. The victim turned out to be my own husband. I pulled out my phone to show them our marriage certificate to prove my innocence, but the police officer frowned as he looked at me. "Ma'am, the Lucas Richardson on this certificate is not your husband. You're still unmarried." I could not believe it and asked the officer to check again immediately. He looked at me with sympathy, but quickly spoke again, "Our records show that Lucas Richardson's spouse is Vivian Clarke and that they have a three-year-old child together. Ma'am, if you cannot prove your relationship with him, you will face criminal detention." I felt like I had been struck by lightning. Six years ago, Lucas had a secretary named Vivian who was obsessively in love with him. On the day Lucas and I got married, she caused a scene and threatened suicide. In the end, he had to personally handle the situation for three days before coming home. It turned out that his solution was to marry Vivian instead.

Mon petit ami de dix ans m'a quittée soudainement pour épouser ma petite sœur dans un mariage éclair. Peu après, Jacques Sartre, le plus jeune professeur de l'Université Royale, a publié une déclaration sur le site de l'université, annonçant ouvertement ses fiançailles avec moi. Pendant sept ans, il a été attentionné, dévoué, comme si j'étais l'unique amour de sa vie. Jusqu'au jour où je l'ai entendu parler à un collègue : « Rose est désormais la guérisseuse la plus prometteuse de l'Université Royale. Tu comptes continuer à jouer la famille heureuse avec Amélie ? » « Mais pour que Rose puisse vivre tranquillement, je vais continuer ma relation avec Amélie. Comme ça, Amélie ne menacera pas la famille de Rose. » Silencieuse derrière la porte, j'ai écouté sa voix calme réduire mes sept années d'amour à un « jeu de rôle ». Dans son carnet de recherche, chaque page portait le nom de Rose : « Que les recherches de Rose avancent bien. » « Que mon aimée Rose soit la femme la plus heureuse. » … « Rose, je passerai ma vie avec une femme que je n'aime pas, pour voir ton sourire chaque jour. » Sept ans de vie commune, et tout n'était qu'un rêve. Le jour de notre septième anniversaire, je suis montée dans la cabine de téléphérique que j'avais réservée depuis longtemps. Et à l'aube, à plus de mille mètres d'altitude, j'ai ouvert la porte de la cabine. J'ai coupé ma connexion mentale avec Jacques, avalé la potion qui pouvait dissoudre notre lien, et j'ai sauté. Quand Jacques a appris la nouvelle, il a immédiatement mobilisé l'équipe de recherche la plus professionnelle de l'Université Royale pour mener une opération de sauvetage sans précédent afin de retrouver mon corps. Dans la vallée, il a hurlé mon nom encore et encore, comme si ses remords tardifs pouvaient me ramener à la vie.

Diana, the princess of the Xenon pack also known as the Hidden pack, was accused of attempting to kill the new alpha's, her half-brother's mate and was thrown out of the pack. Her step-mother whom she loved more than her actual mother hired rogues to kill her, but she was saved by a brothel owner and taken as a courtesan. This was where everything in her life went upend. There, she found her mate who loved her and took her out of that hell and also the man whose obsession for her led to a war where he killed her mate, destroyed her pack just to claim her.

Determined to not repeat the mistakes of her past and become a strong and independent woman, she starts her life once again. This time she wanted to protect not just herself, but her mate and his pack as well. But in her path to strength and independence was the patriarchal society where an unmarried woman wasn't allowed to go out of the pack without her mate or husband. "Kill the intruder!" My father and the alpha of Xenon pack sentenced a handsome young man covered in rugs and dirt. The soldiers were about to take him to the gallows when... "Mate!" I yelled, getting up from my seat and the whole court froze. I had been searching for a powerless man who could be my ticket to independence and I saw one right before me. I walked to him and hugged him. "If you want to live... fake this mate bond with me." I whispered to him.

Pendant les sept années où j'ai été liée à Gérard, mon compagnon, l'héritier de l'Alpha, il a couché avec toutes les amies qui m'entouraient. J'ai fait comme si je n'avais rien vu, j'ai continué à remplir mes devoirs de la future Luna. Jusqu'au jour où j'ai accouché, sa nouvelle maîtresse a conduit des loups sauvages tout droit à m'attaquer. Leurs griffes ont transpercé mon ventre avec une précision cruelle, ma mère a même été tuée par eux alors qu'elle tentait de me sauver. Dans ce moment de désespoir, j'ai utilisé le lien mental pour contacter Gérard et l'ai supplié de nous sauver. « Alina, quand as-tu appris à faire ces tours ? Ne pense pas que ton jeu pathétique m'amènera à m'intéresser à toi. » Après cela, il a coupé le lien mental. Mais il a envoyé une voiture chercher sa nouvelle maîtresse. Lorsque la patrouille m'a trouvée et m'a emmenée à l'hôpital, le bébé dans mon ventre avait été sorti à coups de griffes. Ma mère est morte elle aussi, le poison des loups sauvages s'est répandu dans ses blessures jusqu'à ce que son corps s'effondre. Quand je me suis réveillée, j'ai regardé, hébétée, le grand-père de Gérard, l'actuel Alpha de la meute d'Ombre de Lune. « Laisse-moi partir », ai-je dit froidement, « j'ai payé de ma vie tout ce que je devais à votre meute. »

“Your name?” a woman who’s wearing a dress, has pale lips and short hair asked me. I stuttered. “L-Livia Washington, ma’am,” I answered. “My husband and I can’t produce a child. I need your help and in exchange, I will reward you with money at your price. Just help me…” she said, her face screaming desperation and almost pleading. Without further hesitation, I nodded my head. “Just tell me what you want me to do, Ma’am…” I didn’t know that an offer I would be accepting would ruin the pipe dream I yearned for. Money. I need money. Surrogacy is the only quick way to get a billion dollars just like what they offered. However, things didn’t go the way I liked. “You came out with a woman again?” I busted out in anger after waiting for Archer to come home. He only scoffed, he was supposed to come upstairs yet I held his hand. “Just to remind you, Archer, you still have a wife waiting for you!” His jaw clenched then took his arms roughly. “Then you should have thought of your husband before cheating on me, and bearing someone else’s child, then, Livia!” he backfired, critically narrowing his eyes on mine. Being married to Archer for five years never became easy. I’m tired of it and was tormented with the punishment he had given to me. “A divorce won’t happen, Livia. I won’t give you the freedom you want. This is your punishment,” he narrowed his rough, stoic voice before coming to his room directly.

Dans notre meute, chaque loup avait une seule chance dans sa vie d'utiliser un élixir d'amélioration pour renforcer ses capacités, mais cet élixir ne fonctionnait que s'il était préparé par soi-même. Dans ma vie précédente, même si j'étais une simple Oméga, j'avais passé mes journées et mes nuits à préparer mon propre élixir pour devenir la Gamma de la meute. Mais, le jour de la sélection, dès que je me suis transformée, j'ai totalement perdu le contrôle. Ma louve s'est aussitôt prosternée aux pieds de Victoria, la petite-fille du Bêta actuel. Sous les acclamations de toute la meute, Victoria est devenue la nouvelle Gamma. Moi, on m'a battue et humiliée. Tout le monde disait que j'avais volé l'élixir de Victoria, et c'est pour ça que je ne contrôlais plus ma louve. Ils m'ont coupé les deux mains et m'ont jetée dans une mine d'argent. J'ai souffert d'une douleur insupportable dans cette fosse, mes os rongés par l'argent. Jusqu'à mon dernier souffle, je n'ai pas compris… Comment mon propre élixir avait-il pu faire plier ma louve devant Victoria ? Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux, j'étais revenue une semaine avant la sélection du Gamma. Cette fois, j'ai renoncé à participer et je suis partie seule dans la forêt pour m'entraîner au combat. Le Bêta Richard est resté planté dans l'embrasure de ma maison, me demandant par notre lien mental pourquoi je partais à un moment si important. Pendant ce temps, j'ai retiré mon amulette protectrice, puis je me suis transformée seule en louve pour aller affronter les loups errants sur leur territoire.

"I was supposed to Stay Gone." ...He married me. He gave me a diamond ring with sweet words… and a lie. I thought it was love. But I was just holding her place. The woman whose lies he believed. Now she’s awake. And I don’t know who I am to him anymore. A wife? A stranger? Or just a body keeping what belongs to her  safe? They broke me. But this time, I’m not the same woman they left behind.
