Nelson Ball Bubble Pendant

Mom has extreme mania. Dad was murdered when I was eight, and I went blind while trying to save Mom. I became her only family and weakness. Anyone who makes fun of me for being blind has their eyes gouged out; anyone who disrespects me is sliced and diced before being fed to the dogs. Later, Mom turns into a she-devil with a hundred-billion-dollar net worth. Everyone in Gristport fears her, but she treats me like a princess. The whole city knows not to offend Eleanor Heinrich's daughter. She scours the world for the best optometrists to treat my eyes. On the day I regain my vision, I hear about Mom finding her birth daughter. She says, "You'll soon have a sister who loves you very much, Sienna." I hear that my sister has been through a lot since childhood and is introverted. I prepare many gifts for her, even wanting to give her the pendant Dad gave me. Yet she instructs her people to take me to a deserted roof. "You're nothing but a faker who stole my place in life! I'm going to slice your tongue—let's see how you can continue lying to Mom when you can't speak!" She shatters the pendant, gouges my eyeballs out, slashes my tongue, and has several men torment me to death. Lastly, she includes my eyeballs as decorations in a bouquet and brings it to Mom. "This is a gift I've prepared for your birthday, Mom. Do you like it?"

While working with the search and rescue team to save people trapped in an earthquake, an aftershock suddenly struck. Without hesitation, I pushed a hospital intern, Serena, out of the way. However, the force of the movement sent me to the ground, where a steel rod pierced my back, leaving me unable to move. When the aftershock ended, my husband, Derrick, came down with the others. Yet, instead of coming to me, he rushed to cradle Serena, who only had a few scrapes. Then he turned to glare at me. “What are you still sitting there for? Are you dead? Serena’s hurt, and you can’t even help her up?!” I was in so much pain I could barely speak, only able to force out a faint sound. “Honey, I… I’ve got a steel rod in my back… Please… help me.” Serena suddenly burst into tears in fear. “Mr. Nelson, I was so scared. Just now, Ms. Jones pushed me forward. If I hadn’t shifted direction, that huge rock would’ve crushed me!” Derrick, furious, shouted at me. “Gwen! You’re a doctor! What about your ethics? Your humanity?” Tears streamed down my face as I shook my head. “I didn’t. Please, just save me. I really can’t move…” One of the medical team members who came down with him checked my condition and looked worried. “Director Nelson, the steel rod seems to have pierced her spine. If we don’t treat her now, there’s a risk of paraplegia!” However, Derrick yanked him aside. “Save her? Let her walk herself! Gwen, we’re saving lives right now. If you want to act, I’ll put on a show with you when we get home! “Serena’s injured. Since there’s only one stretcher, we’re taking her up. You can walk up on your own.” His cold, departing back left me in utter despair.

J’ai été laissée à l’orphelinat Sainte-Agnès à l’âge de quatre ans, sans rien d’autre qu’un nom cousu à l’intérieur de mon manteau : Reina Calloway. J’ai construit ma vie à partir de rien. Puis Damien Holt est entré dans ma vie, avec son sourire lent et ses gestes attentionnés, et pour la première fois de ma vie, j’ai pensé que peut-être Dieu avait décidé d’être bon envers moi. Nous nous sommes mariés. Je lui ai tout donné : mon corps, ma loyauté et trois années de ma vie. Puis j’ai découvert l’acte de naissance d’un petit garçon, le fils de Damien, né sept mois après notre mariage. Et la mère était Claire Sutton, sa secrétaire, sa véritable épouse. Notre mariage n’a été qu’une mise en scène. Et le rapport de fertilité qu’il m’avait montré, celui qui prouvait que mon ventre était défaillant, la raison pour laquelle nous devions adopter ? Tout était falsifié. Il voulait que j’élève son fils pendant que sa véritable femme observait depuis l’autre côté du bureau. J’ai pleuré pendant une seule nuit. Et le lendemain matin, un avocat est arrivé avec une lettre scellée de ce père dont j’ignorais l’existence, et un héritage valant plus que tout ce que Damien Holt touchera jamais. Mais il n’y a qu’une seule condition. Je dois épouser l’héritier de la famille Harrington, la dynastie la plus riche d’Amérique. Très bien. J’ai joué un rôle pendant trois ans. Qu’est-ce qu’un rôle de plus ? Seulement cette fois… c’est moi qui écris le scénario.

We were immortals. The Forever Knights. I was a shapeshifter. Collared with a special pendant to be summoned by our alpha. She tried to steal it. But the last thing she expected was for me to turn the tables as soon as we were out of view of my party guests. But she was a thief, a liar, and an imposter. The only thing I wanted to steal from her was what remained of her dignity. And perhaps teach her that I'm not a simple man to steal from. With me there's always a consequence. And she'll pay this one with me between her pretty thighs. We'll see who's the thief then, Little Valkyrie...

Pendant dix ans, j'ai accompagné Félix jusqu'au sommet du pouvoir des mafias, devenant la femme en qui il avait le plus confiance. Mais en se cachant de moi, il a nommé une île par le nom de ma meilleure amie, Liliane. Même si c'était l'île que nous avions conquise ensemble grâce à nos sacrifices. Pourquoi ? Parce que Liliane, atteinte d'une maladie incurable, avait pour dernier vœu d'épouser mon petit ami sur une île portant son nom. Félix a tout fait pour me cacher la vérité, interdisant à quiconque de m'en parler. Mais ce qu'il ignorait, c'est que Liliane m'a tout transmis en direct, me faisant assister à la cérémonie de leur mariage. Ce soir-là, j'ai pleuré jusqu'à perdre connaissance. Et Félix ? Il a passé la nuit sur l'île avec Liliane. J'ai eu une crise cardiaque, étendue dans une mare de sang, ayant du mal à respirer. Pendant ce temps, Félix était à l'hôpital avec Liliane. Cinq jours plus tard, j'ai accepté la demande en mariage de Nolan, l'homme le plus puissant des mafias.

Falling in love with the wrong man was her worst mistake… but escaping him could cost her life. When Isabela met Alejandro Moretti on a trip to Greece, she never imagined the man who offered her a fairy-tale romance was hiding an empire built on blood, betrayal, and dark secrets. With his intense gaze and commanding presence, Alejandro won her over effortlessly, becoming her refuge, her devoted husband, and the perfect father to their children… but also her greatest deception. His love wrapped around her like a silk trap—beautiful and lethal. For years, Isabela lived in a bubble of happiness, unaware of the darkness lurking behind closed doors. Until the fire of violence reached her home, and she learned the truth: Alejandro wasn’t just the man she loved—he was the ruthless boss of one of the world’s most powerful and feared mafias. Now, caught in a war she never asked for, with enemies lurking in every shadow, Isabela must make the hardest decision of her life: continue loving the man who condemned her to this hell… or run from him—knowing Moretti never lets go of what belongs to him.

All because of Leo Cullen’s words, I gave up a place at a top-tier university in Ceres and stayed behind to retake the entrance exams with him—three times. By the fourth year, a girl arrived at our cram school, and Leo forgot the promise we made. He started skipping class, picking fights, smoking—doing everything but studying. One day, I stood at the school gate, blocking his path with a textbook in hand as he tried to ditch class. He smirked, unimpressed, and blew a bubble with his gum, letting it stick to the ends of my hair. “Naomi…,” he began, “who still cares about studying these days?” So I stopped caring and avoided him entirely. When he fooled around in the classroom, I went to the library. When he played basketball, I sat in a quiet corner with my books. Even when I craved noodles from my favorite shop, I’d scan the room first to make sure he wasn’t there. “Are you avoiding me, Naomi?” he asked later, his face in a frown. I shook my head. “Why would you think that?”
