Mother To Son By Langston Hughes

I was born into a regular family in the Moonridge Pack with no status, but through years of training, I fought my way up to become our pack's Gamma. My father was just an Omega and he worked as an ordinary salesman who always claimed he was too busy for family. When he finally took a vacation, I spent $100,000 of my own money to plan a luxury cruise for us all. Then his mistress Sarah and her daughter Emily heard about our trip and suddenly wanted to join. Without even discussing it, my father gave them our luxury suite and relegated Mom and me to the cramped staff quarters below deck. Even my grandmother, a respected elder, supported his decision. My fourteen-year-old brother took their side too, charmed by their fake sweetness. So I changed our plans. I took Mom on a first-class flight to a private island resort instead, where we spent three perfect months. That's when the family started to panic...

Her own son turning against her, demanding she leave, and claiming that he wanted Joey instead of her to be his mother! Cast out with nothing—no money, no safety net—Haley collapses on the streets, broken… until crosses paths with Logan Hartwell, a powerful Billionaire with a guarded heart, and his fragile, enchanting daughter, Lily, who clings to Haley with a desperate hope: "Will you be my mommy?" However, as Haley rebuilds her life, chilling connections emerge—between Logan’s mysterious past and Joey, the woman who destroyed her marriage. "Did you choose me to hurt her?" she demands, but Logan couldn't give her a satisfactory answer.

"Why do I even want you? I don't know Michelle! i don't know why I find it difficult, to think, to breath, to be human when I'm around you! My life ended the day I heard you were kidnapped and killed, I slept by your grave every day and night because that was the only place I could find peace, everyday I begged the heavens to take me instead and bring you back, I will die for you Michelle, and I will live because of you ", he said.I sniffed, "I live for you only", I said and then crashed my lips against his. * * What do you do when you walk into your best friend and your boyfriend having an affair a day to your wedding? What do you do when you get drunk and sleep with an alluring stranger? What do you do when you change town and find out that your new boss was your one night stand?What do you do when you sign a contract to be his fake wife for e year in exchange for help? And what do you do when you end up falling for him and what happens when he halls harder?

I could hear everything, even with my poor vision. I could hear their horrified gasps and the curses they rained on me. ‘She’s a murderer!’ ‘A pack slut and now a murderer! She needs to leave! We can’t live in fear in our own pack!’ Their curses overshadowed my pleas. This isn’t me—I don’t kill. I would never kill one of my own. I staggered toward where Killain stood—he was shocked. He agreed with them. “Please help me, Killain,” I begged, but he only stared. “You have brought shame to this pack, Samantha,” Killain began. “Tonight was an amazing day—a celebration for the Blood Rose Pack. You give me no choice…” “No, no, please don’t do this to me again. I’m hurt, I’m hurt…please help—” “I, Killain Black, Alpha of the Blood Rose Pack, banish you, Samantha Forbes, from the Blood Rose Pack. You have done nothing but bring shame and disgrace to this pack, and from now on, you will not be associated with Blood Rose.” The pain wasn’t torture—my mate rejecting and banishing me on the same night was torture. I fell to the ground and clutched his robe. “Please, don’t chase me away.” The guards dragged me out of the crowd and deeper into the woods. “This is where you belong! Disgrace!” They dropped me roughly and left. I staggered and tried to get up with the little strength I had left. My eyes landed on the red stain flooding the front of my dress. No, please. My stomach twisted, and I screamed in pain. My babies—not my babies, please. I can’t lose them—they’re the only thing I have left. I need to live. I can’t die—after everything.

Blurb: When Elena Carter’s world begins to crumble, she’s forced to make an impossible choice—marry a man she doesn’t love to save the only family she has left. With her brother’s life hanging in the balance, she agrees to a one-year marriage contract with Damian Kingstone, a powerful billionaire whose heart is as cold as the empire he controls. To Damian, marriage is a business transaction—a convenient solution to fulfill the terms of his late father’s will. To Elena, it’s a lifeline. Their rules are simple: one year, no love, no strings attached. But as their worlds collide, the line between obligation and desire begins to blur. Beneath Damian’s ruthless exterior, Elena discovers a man haunted by loss and betrayal, while Damian finds himself drawn to the warmth he thought he’d forgotten how to feel. What begins as a contract soon becomes something dangerously real. But when buried secrets from Damian’s past threaten to destroy the fragile bond between them, Elena must decide whether to walk away with the money she desperately needs—or risk everything for the man who was never supposed to have her heart. In a marriage built on lies, what happens when love becomes the most dangerous truth of all?

When love is repaid with humiliation, pain turns into strength. Aruna came carrying medicine and a slice of birthday cake for the man she loved—Revan. But when she arrived at his house, what she found was not the warm smile she had longed for, but a sight that shattered her heart: Revan kneeling down, proposing to another woman in front of everyone. The medicine she had bought with her hard-earned money was thrown away. The cake she had made with love was crushed underfoot without mercy. And Aruna… was left behind without an explanation—only pain and a pride torn to pieces. On her way home, an accident took not only her strength but also the life of the unborn child she carried within her.

Pour sauver son premier amour atteinte d'insuffisance rénale, mon mari, juge de profession, a décidé de lui attribuer un de mes reins sans mon consentement. Je lui ai expliqué que je souffrais aussi d'une insuffisance rénale, et qu'une greffe m'aurait été fatale. Mais il m'a crié avec haine : « Isabelle est si gravement malade, et toi, tu es encore si jalouse ! Tu es vraiment impitoyable ! » Sous sa décision imposée, on m'a emmenée à l'hôpital pour la transplantation. À la fin, à cause de l'aggravation de mon insuffisance rénale, je suis morte misérablement dans un coin désert de l'hôpital.

Elle a failli mourir sur la table d'opération à cause d'une hémorragie due à une grossesse extra-utérine, tandis que son mari, dans une indifférence glaciale, allumait des bougies d'anniversaire pour sa maîtresse, fêtant l'événement avec ostentation. Mariés depuis quatre ans, elle s'humiliait jusqu'à se nier elle-même, mais le cœur de son mari restait de glace. Jusqu'au jour où elle l'a vu chérir la fille de son ennemi, la couvant du regard comme un trésor : elle a alors perdu tout espoir, a laissé les papiers du divorce et est partie la tête haute. De retour dans le monde du travail, elle s'est investie à fond dans sa carrière, éblouissant toute la ville, et devenant la coqueluche des cercles mondains parisiens, convoitée par les élites. Voyant les prétendants se presser autour d'elle, son mari glacé n'a plus supporté. Dans un accès de possessivité, il a écarté ses rivaux et l'a plaquée contre un mur. « Madame Ravot, je refuse le divorce ! »
