Mãe Solteira

I had cancer. And Carl—my boyfriend of seven years—ditched me at the hospital to play fake boyfriend for his so-called best friend, just so she could dodge her parents' marriage pressure. When the results came in, I broke down. Clutching the report, I sobbed as I called him. "Carl, I... I..." My voice cracked. I didn't even know how to say it. I thought he'd comfort me. Instead, his voice came sharp through the phone. "Can you not? Mia's just a friend. What's so wrong about me helping her?—do you have to be so dramatic? I already promised to marry you this month. What more do you want?"

Samantala, sa edad na thirty-three, wala pa ring natitipuhan na babae si Linden kahit na kasal na siya. A man who is ambitious, arrogant, and super strict when it comes to work.

Pero paano kung muling magtagpo ang kanilang landas? Not just as two strangers who shared a one-night stand, but as employee and boss. Masundan pa kaya ang nangyari sa kanila sa gabing iyon?

Ma mère était la Luna élue, celle qui avait autrefois conquis trois puissants Alphas. Une fois sa mission accomplie, elle a disparu de ce monde, ne laissant derrière elle que moi, et les trois Alphas qui l'avaient autrefois aimée de toute leur âme. Mon premier père, l'Alpha Julien Richard, dirigeait la tribu de Lune Argentée, assez riche pour acheter la moitié du continent. Mon deuxième père, l'Alpha Simon Laurent, commandait tous les guerriers de l'Alliance du Nord. Mon troisième père, l'Alpha Lucas Dubois, détenait toutes les ressources médicales dont les loups et les humains dépendaient. Pendant dix-huit ans, j'ai été leur petite princesse chérie. Ils me donnaient tout ce que je voulais, sans poser de questions, sans hésiter. Jusqu'à ce qu'ils ramènent à la maison cette fille, une orpheline fragile nommée Alice Moreau. À partir de ce jour, tout a changé. Elle leur a dit que je l'avais traitée de bâtarde sale, indigne de notre tribu. Elle a dit que j'avais demandé aux jeunes loups de l'école à la harceler. Elle a dit que j'avais saboté son costume de spectacle, que j'avais provoqué son allergie et que je l'avais fait s'évanouir sur scène. Et ils l'ont crue. Ils ont cessé de me croire. Pour la quatre-vingt-dix-neuvième fois, ils l'ont choisie elle plutôt que moi, quand ils ont crié : « Ne reviens plus jamais ! », je n'ai pas protesté. J'ai juste pris mes bagages et je suis partie. Ils ont pensé que je reviendrais à la maison comme avant et que ma disparition n'était qu'une autre façon d'attirer leur attention. Mais quand ils ont découvert que j'avais quitté la meute pour de bon, que mon identité avait été effacée, qu'ils ne pouvaient plus me retrouver, les trois puissants Alphas ont finalement craqué.

When Nathan comes to pick me up on the day of the wedding, he loses his footing and falls down a flight of stairs that's several feet high. He's not badly injured, but he bumps his head on the steps and ends up with jumbled memories. He mistakenly thinks that I am his first love, who had once hurt him. He reacts violently whenever he sees me. At this time, I found out that I am pregnant. The doctor says that the good news might be able to awaken his memories partially. I rush off to find him, holding the medical report. However, I accidentally overhear the conversation between him and his friends. "Nate is always full of ideas. Now he's even claiming that his memories are jumbled up! As long as you don't get bored, Olivia will never be able to force you to get married." "Don't spout nonsense. I do love Liv, and she's the only one that I'll ever love. I'll just have fun for half a month more before I settle down and get married." "Half a month? That isn't even enough time to flirt with all the female models at the club. Can you really be satisfied with that?" Nathan's expression turns cold as he snaps, "I'm not an irresponsible jerk. Liv and I have been together for so many years. "I'm definitely going to marry her. Call someone now! I want the one from yesterday with a tiny waist and a big bottom. It excites me to look at her!" Trembling, I tear up the notice from the hospital and turn to leave.

Dans un monde de trahison, de pouvoir et de vengeance, Olivia doit choisir : protéger son cœur, ou tout risquer pour une seconde chance d’amour avec l’âme sœur qui l’a autrefois brisé ?

After our eighty-eighth canceled wedding, I called my business partner. "I'm taking the Haviana market project." There was a beat of stunned silence. "Seriously? That's ten years overseas. You just got married—well, weren't you? Does your husband even know? What about your parents? You always said staying close to them was everything." I glanced around the empty church and let out a sharp laugh. "There was no wedding. No husband. And my parents? They've got Cindy. That's all they need." Another pause. "Alright. Pack your bags. You leave tomorrow." After the call, I ran a hand down my wedding dress. One last tear slipped out, quiet and pointless. Cindy had another "episode" today. Claimed she'd off herself. Andrew canceled—again. I'd looked at him, drained. "It's the eighty-eighth time." He dropped his head, guilt all over him. "Just a little more time, Viv. She's been off since the accident. I'm scared she'll actually do it. I swear, I'll talk to her. For real this time. Then we'll get married. Promise." My parents didn't hesitate. "Vivian, let Andrew go. If Cindy hadn't gotten kidnapped trying to save you, she wouldn't have these breakdowns. Are you really putting a wedding over your sister's life?" "How could you be so selfish?" I'd heard it all before. Used to fight it. Not this time. If neither my fiancé nor my parents wanted me around, then fine. I'd leave.

La quatre-vingt-dix-neuvième fois où mon fiancé, Draven, a raccroché, je me suis traînée jusqu'à l'église familiale, le diagnostic d'insuffisance rénale terminale serré contre moi. « Père, je veux rompre avec la famille des Roche et rompre mes fiançailles avec Draven Frost. » À ces mots, mes parents sont arrivés en trombe, accompagnés de ma sœur adoptive, Bianca. Mon père, le mastermind de ma famille, n'a pas hésité : il m'a giflée en pleine joue, là, devant le prêtre. « Ton fiancé est un leader respecté dans notre monde et tu oses l'humilier de cette manière ! » « Tu as fait honte à notre famille devant toute l'organisation ! » Ma mère m'a arraché le diagnostic des mains, après un regard rapide, elle a ricané : « Tu as encore joué à la malade pour attirer l'attention, n'est-ce pas ? Qu'est-ce que tu veux faire cette fois ? » Ma sœur adoptive, Bianca, s'est accrochée aux bras de nos parents, sa voix étranglée de larmes : « Je suis tellement désolée. Tu peux prendre ma place au gala. Arrête seulement de tourmenter papa et maman, s'il te plaît ! » J'ai essuyé le sang qui coulait de mon nez et j'ai répété calmement mes paroles au prêtre. « Je ne suis plus la fille de la famille des Roche. Je ne suis pas digne d'une alliance avec les Frost. » « Je vais mourir dans trois jours. Je voulais que ces fiançailles soient rompues avant ce moment. »
