As each finger was cruelly broken, the agony that surged through her body revealed the truth—her nanny and maids had betrayed her long ago. When her sister confessed to carrying her husband's child, Miranda realized that their prior kindness had been nothing but an act in a sinister play. When her gentle husband, a man she had once loved, directed his new lover to claim her life, she understood she had been nothing more than a stepping stone to his ascent to power... Twenty years in this mortal world, and she was merely a puppet manipulated by others. Yet, fate, in its mercy, offered her a second chance. This time, it was her turn to consign those deceivers to hell! Although she returned only to exact vengeance, how did she unwittingly capture the interest of a powerful magnate this time around? Watching the delicate yet resilient girl, the Duke turned to his subordinate and said “Remove the filth that marred her eyes. Feed it to the dogs."

Mon compagnon Éthan, un Oméga sans loup, que personne ne veut embaucher comme employé régulier, nous fait vivre dans la pauvreté, mais je suis convaincue que notre amour nous permettra de surmonter toutes les difficultés. La septième année après mon accouplement avec Éthan, en raison de la faim, mon fils Théo et moi passons la nuit à chercher de la nourriture dans les poubelles. Théo fouille une poubelle rapidement et doucement, il trouve habilement de la nourriture et me dit joyeusement : « Maman, cette poubelle appartient à un restaurant Michelin, la nourriture qui s'y trouve est fraîche et délicieuse, ramenons-la à papa pour qu'il la goûte ! » Le lendemain, je mets mes vêtements les plus décents, qui ont été décolorés par trop de lavages, et j'essaie de postuler pour un poste de nettoyage dans ce restaurant. Si je réussis l'entretien, je pourrais au moins ramener les restes de nourriture à la maison avant qu'ils ne soient jetés à la poubelle. Mais quand je lève les yeux, je vois Éthan sortir d'une limousine de dizaines de millions d'euros, suivi d'une mère et d'un fils luxueusement vêtus. Je reconnais la femme comme étant Miranda, l'amie d'enfance d'Éthan. Le patron s'excuse : « Je suis désolé, Madame Chantal, Alpha Éthan a réservé tout le restaurant pour Miranda aujourd'hui, j'ai dû me concentrer sur le service et je n'ai pas le temps de faire un entretien avec vous. Vous pourrez revenir une autre fois. » A ce moment-là, mon fils et moi nous figeons sur place tous les deux.

My daughter, Wendy Lawson, was a rising star in the piano world. But on the day of the piano competition grand finals, someone locked her in a restroom. She was so shaken she missed her chance at the championship. I checked the CCTV footage and found out exactly who was behind it. I was ready to file a formal complaint for malicious sabotage. But my husband stepped in and shut me down cold. “It was just a squabble between two kids. If you report Theresa’s sister, I’ll make sure Wendy doesn’t even get second place!” I was so furious my whole body trembled. I never imagined Phillip would go this far to bully his own daughter to protect his secretary’s sister! Just then, Wendy held onto my hand as she fought back tears. “Mom, I don’t want the championship anymore… and I don’t want Dad either.” I tightened my grip around her small hand. “All right. If you do not want him, then I do not want him either!”

On Teacher's Day, my wife, Hera, was promoted to associate professor. Even for our marriage we simply registered without a proper ceremony, yet this time, she specifically prepared a feast at home to celebrate. During the dinner, she took out the flowers a male student had given her and was about to put them in a vase. Without warning, I knocked the flowers out of her hand, flipped over the vase, and, under the bewildered gazes of the whole family, calmly said, "Let's get a divorce." Hera was stunned at first, then angrily snapped, "Stanley Lawson, what's gotten into you? I’m just putting some flowers my student gave me in a vase. What's the big deal?" My mother-in-law, Sarah Swift, chimed in, "Hera just got promoted to associate professor, and it's Teacher's Day. What's wrong with a student giving her flowers? Are you seriously getting jealous over that?" I glanced at the scattered petals on the floor and slowly said, "Yes, it's because of these flowers that I want a divorce."

Fia Lawson had been in love with Conrad Maxwell for years. She knew that he had a childhood friend whom he loved, so she hid her feelings for him in the deepest part of herself. She never had any expectations about it. Then one day, his beloved suddenly left the country and she was forced to become the sacrificial lamb for their families’ alliance. After their marriage, he was the perfect husband. Even when he knew that she was infertile, he protected her. Three years later, while she was still drowning in bliss, he asked for a divorce and wanted her to set him free.“I’m pregnant.”“You’re lying. You’re infertile.”She finally had a child after being on medication for two years. She wanted to keep their marriage from falling apart.“Our marriage is a mistake. If we’re going to separate, we should cut each other off completely!”The only thing that could match the level of anguish she felt was how deep her love was for him.

In my tenth year of marriage, my old childhood friend, Joshua Sears, posts a photo on social media. Both Joshua and my wife, Sabrina Lawson, are hugging his son, Andy Sears, and my daughter, Tiana Jenkins, in it. The four of them look very close to each other. The caption accompanying the post says, "Blessed to have the perfect son and daughter." I leave a comment below the post, saying, "Looking good together." A few seconds later, the post is deleted. The next morning, Sabrina rushes home and yells at me. "Ashton Jenkins! Joshua was finally feeling better for once. Why did you have to trigger him again?" Tiana shoves me hard and snaps in an accusatory tone, "It's all your fault that Andy's crying now!" I take out a copy of the divorce agreement and slam it down before them. "Yes, it's all my fault. That's why I'm stepping out of the picture now. Then, the four of you can form the wholesome family you've always wanted."

Sasha Miranda almost had it all—the family that loves her more than anything in this world, loyal friends that always got her back, the fame and the riches that every woman envied, desired and would only dreamed of, except for one thing—William Saavedra’s affection. *** Sasha thought that finally, her dreams is finally coming true to life when the love of her life, William proposed a marriage to her but little did she know, it was only for business—a marriage of convenience. She did every good wife would do—she cooks for him, she irons his clothes, she cleans the house, she does the household chores, and be the understanding, patient and kind wife he will ever want but none of those worked as her husband kept on cheating with her with Olivia Vanderhurst, his ex-girlfriend. Witness a woman, a daughter and a wife fight for her right and for the love she ever wanted, but until when the love would be enough? Until when would she be a martyr wife? When the respect is lost? When the love is gone? Or when a life is forever lost?
