Medusa's Son

Elena Brooklyn dreamed of a simple life: marrying an ordinary man and living happily ever after. But fate had other plans. After a whirlwind encounter with Alex Baron, the enigmatic billionaire playboy, her quiet dreams were shattered forever. She only agreed to marry him because of his son, one of her beloved students, who begged her to become his stepmother—and because the boy’s fragile health left her no room to refuse. Now, carrying Alex’s twins, Elena finds herself tangled in a web of love and betrayal. Just when she starts to believe in their future, Alex’s ex-wife—the woman who vanished from his life seven years ago—returns, determined to reclaim her place in his heart. Caught between loyalty and doubt, Alex makes a devastating choice, one that leaves Elena heartbroken and questioning everything. Two years later, a shocking revelation shakes Alex’s world. “Boss! Madam is in Australia—with your twins!” Can Alex win back the woman he let slip away? Or will Elena finally close the chapter on the man who couldn’t see the truth when it mattered most?

Ella believed her marriage was happy—until the night of her son’s birthday. Her husband didn’t come home, staying with his brother’s wife all night. So Ella took her son and left the country. Only then did her husband begin begging for them to come back. It was too late, wasn’t it?

My in-laws, who have flown back to the country for the Christmas holidays, visit my home on Christmas Eve for dinner. But Selena Collins, the housekeeper, has only prepared two plates of cold shrimp ravioli despite the fact that I've specifically reminded her about my mother-in-law, Lora Fischer's allergy to shrimps. Selena just tells me in a stoic manner, "Mrs. Peterson, I know that you country bumpkins love taking advantage of everything. So, I completely understand that your parents want to mooch off a meal from the Peterson family during the holidays. "But as Mr. Peterson's most caring housekeeper, I have the right to protect the Petersons' assets from getting leeched by outsiders. Yes, this includes a regular meal. "Then again, I have a heart of gold, you see. I won't starve the elders at all. These are leftover shrimp ravioli from last year. Your parents should hurry up and leave after polishing the ravioli off. "Mr. Peterson is very busy with his work. I can't let him deal with your impoverished parents after getting home from a stressful day at work." I'm stunned at first, but I soon realize that Selena has mistaken my in-laws for my parents. She's purposefully causing me trouble as always. I'm about to explain the truth to Selena when I see my enraged in-laws turning to leave. But Selena wastes no time in calling the bodyguards over to stop them. "I completely understand that country bumpkins like you two have poor character, but wasting food is a really bad trait. "Since the shrimp ravioli is already prepared for you, please finish them all before leaving."

My six-year-old son, Zac Quest, deliberately fed me almond cake, which I was allergic to, to make me miscarry. Standing in front of the hospital bed, he hid behind my husband, Sterling Quest, with a long face and refused to admit his mistakes, "Grandma said you won't ever divorce Dad once you give birth to my sister. I don't want you as my mom anymore. I prefer Ms. White!" Sterling said indifferently, "We'll have other children. Winona... is indeed more fit to raise Zac than you." Hearing those words, I gave up completely. The day I was discharged from the hospital, I went back home and cleared out all my belongings. All I left behind was a divorce agreement and a letter disowning Zac.

Je suis revenue à la vie. Cette fois, je n'ai plus empêché mon compagnon de ramener son amie d'enfance enceinte à la maison pour s'occuper d'elle. J'ai même proposé de rompre notre lien d'union, afin de lui laisser librement choisir Élise Richard, celle qu'il a toujours préférée. Je créais volontairement chaque occasion pour qu'ils soient seuls ensemble, tandis que je me retirais en silence. Tout cela parce que, dans ma vie précédente, au moment de mourir, Marc Sien m'en voulait encore d'avoir refusé que son amie d'enfance vienne habiter chez nous pour sa grossesse. Sur le chemin du départ, elle avait perdu son enfant et n'a plus jamais pu avoir d'enfant. Il m'avait dit que, quand je serais morte, il se mettrait avec Élise, qu'il prendrait soin d'elle et réparerait le tort qu'il lui avait causé. Alors, dans cette nouvelle vie, je ne m'y suis plus opposée. J'ai choisi de partir, pour les aider à combler leurs regrets… Mais pourquoi, après mon départ, Marc s'est-il mis à me chercher partout comme un fou, en suppliant mon retour ?

I slaved away for my husband and son. But what did I get in return? Cold shoulders, cutting words, and distance. Then one day, my husband suggested a “fake divorce” so my stepsister could adopt a child. Fine. Fake divorce it is. Except… if it’s just fake, why are the two of them heating up the sheets behind my back? Then, Fake divorce just turned real. My ex-husband thought I’d beg to come back. My stepsister thought I’d envy her for stealing my husband and son. They both thought I’d shatter. Wrong. I’ve got my career, my revenge, and oh—did I mention? I’m dating a drop-dead gorgeous man who actually knows my worth. And suddenly, life tasted sweeter than I ever imagined.

To get rid of our pup and date with his assistant on Valentine's Day, my mate Marcus forced our injured pup to go rock climbing and poisoned him. When I rushed my dying pup to the hospital, I unexpectedly saw my mate accompanying his assistant for a prenatal checkup. Our terrified pup lay convulsing from the poison, but Marcus didn’t even care about him. "He's just an Omega. If he was a proper wolf, he'd heal instantly!" I clutched the $100 million Moonlight Blessing herb in my pocket. I accidentally found it in the forest this morning. I was planning to tell him the good news today. But now? It was time to break this five-year mate bond.

My new husband always acted like a child. Before our son turned two, he would grab the boy’s food bowls every single day and refuse to let go. When our son turned four, he had developed an obsession with planting seeds and watering the little garden in our backyard. When our son turned five, I ran into my Christian ex-boyfriend after six years apart at a business event. He looked the same as before and narrowed his eyes at me with cold disdain. “Didn’t we agree never to see each other again after the breakup? “How are you still this pathetic after six years? You chased me all the way here?” In an instant, everyone turned to watch and whispered among themselves, wondering whether I would shamelessly beg him to get back together with me. After all, back then, I had used every trick I had just to win over William. It was how I had managed to get hold of a man who seemed aloof and almost otherworldly. No one knew that every time William slept with me, he would go to church and repent in secret before a photo of his foster sister. He even kicked me out of the Wells family for her sake. He forced me to donate over a quart of blood to his foster sister when I was hospitalized after a miscarriage. From that moment on, my heart was numb. I returned to my hometown and married my devoted husband. I never expected that six years later, I would see him again. William watched me in silence, then pulled an old diamond ring from his pocket and tossed it at my feet. “Pick it up, and put it on. I’ll marry you.”
