Pada tahun kelima pernikahan, Julia Trevon merasa vitamin C yang dibeli suaminya terlalu pahit. Jadi, dia membawa botol obat itu ke rumah sakit. Dokter memeriksanya, lalu mengatakan bahwa isi botol itu bukanlah vitamin C. "Dokter, bisakah kamu mengulanginya sekali lagi?" tanya Julia. "Berapa kali pun aku mengulanginya, hasilnya akan sama." Dokter menunjuk botol obat itu sambil berkata, "Ini isinya mifepristone. Kalau diminum terlalu banyak, bukan hanya bisa menyebabkan kemandulan, tapi juga akan merusak tubuhmu." Tenggorokan Julia seakan tercekat sesuatu. Tangannya yang mencengkeram botol obat itu menjadi pucat. "Nggak mungkin. Ini adalah obat yang disiapkan suamiku untukku. Namanya Victor Camden.

I'm famous in the rich wives' society for having an ostrich-like personality—cowardly and often loves escaping from reality. In my three-year marriage, I've personally conducted cosmetic surgeries on 99 substitutes of Callum Holden's first love, Alice Teller. Veronica Dane, the 99th substitute, stares at her reflection in the mirror in delight. There's a trace of mockery in her eyes at the same time. "Mrs. Holden, I heard that you've been alone throughout your marriage. What a shame… To think that the nation's best plastic surgeon can't work on altering her own face. "In order to thank you for your efforts, I'll give you a glimpse of Callum's bedroom performance when the time comes. How about that?" I tune out Veronica's mocking words. After all, I've gone through similar situations 98 times in the past, and I have fought back before. But all Callum said to me was, "You owe me this much, Talia. You can never finish atoning for your sins, even if it takes you your entire life!" The thing is, he has forgotten that I've given him 99 substitutes, just as I had promised. Now, I will never go looking for the love that is never mine, to begin with.

My mom often makes an example out of someone when it comes to parenting. Unfortunately, I'm that someone, while my little brother, Raymond Nelson, benefits from it. Ever since I was four years old, my mom had been using this method. If Raymond breaks a bowl, I'm the one kneeling on the floor to pick up the pieces. If Raymond destroys something belonging to someone else, I'm the one writing the reflection report on his behalf. Mom tells me, "You're the older sister here. Since you can't keep your brother in line, you're the one at fault." But Raymond can never get rid of his bad habit of stealing and lying. When Franklin Harris, the owner of a grocery store, comes knocking on our door, Raymond points at me once again. "She was the one who stole your money!" In order to help Raymond get rid of this problematic habit of his, Mom decides to hand me over to the owner. "Sorry, Franklin. It's my fault for not raising my child well. I'll give my daughter to you. You can do whatever you want to her, be it scolding her or beating her up." Little does she know that I will never go home after Mr. Harris takes me away.

Set against the backdrop of Rome’s elite underworld, Blood & Dynasty follows Leonardo and Xena DeMarcus, two rulers who build an empire through calculated strategy, ruthless ambition, and an unbreakable partnership. From the moment they take control of Rome’s power structure, they face relentless opposition—from whispered betrayals to direct threats, including the relentless pursuit of their downfall by Elena Vasquez and later Dominic Renaud, a Geneva-based strategist who attempts to dismantle their empire from afar. Through violence, precision, and unwavering control, Leonardo and Xena eliminate every obstacle, ensuring Rome bends to their reign and never rises against them again. But their legacy is more than just dominance—it is permanence, and that permanence is solidified through the birth of their heir, Orion DeMarcus. Faced with the impossible balance between war and family, they fortify their estate, strengthen their dynasty, and raise Orion to be a ruler as fierce and tactical as they are, ensuring the DeMarcus name will never fade. As years pass, Orion rises, taking command of the empire, expanding beyond his parents’ reign, proving that everything Leonardo and Xena built was meant to last long beyond their rule. And in the final reflection, as Xena looks back on their time together, she understands one undeniable truth: Power may shift. Empires may evolve. But the love between her and Leonardo—the fire that shaped their dynasty—will never burn out.

The air in the Parisian haute couture salon smelled like money and fear. I’d waited six months for my wedding dress. Now, it was draped over the shoulders of Sofia Ross—the trending influencer, and my mafia fiancé Vincent Cassio’s god-sister. The salon manager was sweating bullets, his eyes darting between me and the man lounging on the velvet sofa. Vincent Cassio stood up. He adjusted a fold of the diamond-encrusted train on Sofia with a casual flick of his wrist. “Her premiere next week needs a statement piece. She’s borrowing it. Pick something off the rack and stop making a scene.” His tone was flat, final. Under the crystal chandeliers, Sofia admired herself in the full-length mirror, a triumphant smile on her lips. I looked at my reflection in the same mirror, wearing jeans and a soaked trench coat. I looked like a lost tourist. Suddenly, the entire past year of planning felt like a sick joke. I didn’t yell. I just felt cold. Numb. I slipped the five-carat engagement ring off my finger. It hit the glass coffee table with a sharp, final click. “You’re right, Vincent. I don’t need this wedding dress. This wedding… I don’t need it either.”
