Never Mistake My Kindness For Weakness

The day my ex finally made it big, the doctor told me I had less than three months to live.

Probably when I was diagnosed with kidney disease eight years ago, and my ex walked out on me.” “I’m grateful she didn’t marry me. That was the wake-up call I needed.” After the interview, he called. “Amelia Simmons, I made it. Do you regret it now?” I rested a hand on the spot where my kidney used to be and let out a bitter laugh. “I do. And I have cancer now. Happy?” James sounded satisfied. “Serves you right.” He never knew—I got cancer because I gave him my kidney all those years ago.

Pagkatapos ng tatlong taong pagpapakasal, Ryah Zovee realized her husband, Grayson Kai Sandoval, true priorities lay with his first love, Zoe Klein. Hindi maramdaman ni Ryah ang pagpapahalaga sa kaniya ni Grayson kahit sa family gathering o business magmula noong dumating si Zoe. Tanging kay Zoe siya nakatuon. Isang araw ay sinabi ni Grayson na si Zoe ang dapat mamahala sa kumpanya at siya ang may karapat-dapat sa posisyon kaysa kay Ryah. Dahilan iyon para masaktan siya ng lubusan at gumawa ng desisyon na umalis. “Kaya kong buhayin ang anak ko. Our paths have diverged, and it's best if we part ways.” Pagkatapos ng maraming taon, binago ni Ryah ang kaniyang pamumuhay. Mabilis siyang umangat sa kaniyang negosyo at nagkaroon ng koneksiyon sa iba't ibang tao, lalo na sa isang CEO na siyang may-ari ng pinakamalaking kumpanya. Kalaunan, biglang dumating si Grayson na humihingi ng kapatawaran. Bumungad sa kaniya ang nagtatanong na si Ryah. “Para saan pa? Grayson? ” Ngunit hindi inaasahan ay dumating ang CEO, claiming Ryah and their daughter as his own. "You're too late," the CEO declared, his possessiveness unmistakable. "She's mine, and I'll do whatever it takes to keep her and our daughter safe." Mapapatawad nga kaya ni Ryah si Grayson? O mananatili nang sarado ang puso ni Ryah para kay Grayson dahil sa pagkakamaling nagawa nito?

A pack of Rogues holds my mother, Celia Hale, hostage and clutches an iron chest like it's treasure. Lillian Parker, my mate's first love, points at the chest through her tears. "That chest… It's all I have left of my mother." However, the boulder above my mother's head is already loose, and it could crush her at any moment. I desperately beg my mate and the Alpha of the Silvermoon pack, Ares Hamilton. "Save my mom first! Please!" He just glances at me with a frown. "Celia's a strong she-wolf. She'll be fine. Margaret is already gone. That chest matters more." With that, he gestures for most of the fighters to move toward the chest. Only two young werewolves, barely steady on their feet, reluctantly step toward Celia. I stare at him in disbelief. In the end, they recover the chest, but my mother is dead.

Sometimes love finds us in the most unexpected places—through the most unexpected person. At 40, Daniel’s life is a careful balance between raising his three children and running the family business. After losing his wife, he built a cold, impenetrable shell around himself—one he has no intention of breaking. Deanna, on the other hand, is full of dreams. With just one year left before earning her degree in Arts, she’s focused on one thing: making it to the opera stage. But when her best friend Harry begs for her help, her life takes an unforeseen turn. An outdated family rule threatens to keep Harry from marrying his pregnant girlfriend. The only solution? His older brother, Daniel, must marry first. To help him, Deanna and Daniel agree to a fake relationship—a temporary arrangement that should have been simple. But the pull between them is undeniable. She brings warmth into his cold world, while he offers her a love she never expected after a painful breakup. Together, they begin to build something real—something worth fighting for. Yet, not everyone wants to see them happy. Between outside forces determined to tear them apart and their own fears whispering doubts, their love faces an uphill battle. And with a 15-year age gap standing between them, one question remains: Can they defy the odds, or will reason win over the heart?

My wife—Nancy Valente—had been "missing" for three months after some fake skiing accident. I spotted her at a bar. She was draped over Finley Bennett's shoulder, laughing like she hadn't wrecked my life. "Good thing you came up with this plan. I almost forgot what freedom felt like." Her crew kept clinking glasses, asking when she planned to pop back up. She glanced down. "Maybe in a week. I'll show up once he's lost his mind." I stayed in the shadows, watching her bask in her little escape act. Then I grabbed my phone and called a buddy at the Vital Records Office.

So I just stood there and watched another woman take him away from me. I thought I had lost him until three years later. I was standing in front of this huge house, and right in front of me was my mystery man. My fantasy s*x god who appears in my hot dreams every night is my best friend’s dad… I should have looked away immediately, I should have remembered the rules, the consequences, and the hurt.

When I turned 18, my mother married my stepfather, a retired mafia kingpin, and I moved with her into a luxurious mansion. Just when I thought my life was heading toward happiness, my stepbrother, the new mafia boss, stormed into my life. He was like a devil, with delicate eyebrows, a high, sharp nose, and lips that were always tightly pressed together beneath a cold expression. Every time our eyes met, I felt a chill run through me, making it hard to breathe. I tried my best to avoid him, but he had no intention of letting me go. “My stepsister, from the moment I first saw you, I knew I couldn’t let you go. You can’t escape—you’re destined to be mine.” I stared into his possessive eyes as his body pressed down on mine. “No, you're my stepbrother, we can't……"
