오철준은 여섯 살이 되던 해에 100원을 훔쳤다. 전남편이 벨트를 꺼낼 때면 사람을 때려죽이려 하곤 했다. 난 철준을 내 몸 뒤로 감싸고 모든 매를 대신 맞았다. 그 후 전남편은 예상치 못한 사고로 사망했고 나와 철준은 서로 의지하며 살아갔다. 옆집 이웃이 나를 남편 잡아먹은 년이라고 욕하자 철준은 그 집 개를 독살해 버렸다. 어떤 고객이 나를 괴롭히려 할 때 철준은 그 사람을 하반신 불구로 만들어 버렸다. 철준은 평생 장가 가지 않고 나를 지켜주겠다고 했다. 난 철준이 너무 고집스럽다고 생각했다. 난 철준이 자신만의 생활을 되찾을 수 있기를 바랬다. 출국한 지 3년, 마침내 철준이 인생의 진정한 사랑을 찾았다는 소식을 들었다. 난 흥분된 마음으로 귀국했지만 예비 며느리에게 불륜녀로 오해를 받았다. 주민정은 사람들을 데리고 공항에서 나를 가로 막았다. “나이를 이렇게 처먹고 불륜녀 짓거리를 하다니! 쪽팔린 줄도 모르는 건가?” 민정은 사람들 앞에서 내 옷을 벗겼다. 그리고 나에게 황산을 먹여 내 목과 얼굴을 망가뜨렸다. 숨이 거의 끊어질 무렵 난 민정에게 말했다. “나는 철준의 어머니야.” 하지만 민정은 친자 확인서를 내 앞에 뿌렸다. “사람 잘못 해칠까 봐 난 이미 똑똑히 조사도 해봤어.” 하지만 민정은 내가 철준의 새 엄마라는 걸 몰랐다.

2년 동안 부강현의 아내로 살았다. 그 시간 동안 소윤슬에게 ‘사랑’은 없었다. 가사도우미처럼 묵묵히 살아가던 어느 날, 강현의 첫사랑 한신아가 돌아왔고, 둘의 계약 같은 결혼은 허무하게 끝나버렸다. “부강현, 사랑이라는 콩깍지가 벗겨진 너를... 내가 왜 다시 돌아봐야 하지?” 강현은 아무런 망설임 없이 이혼 서류에 사인했다. ‘소윤슬은 절대 날 잊지 못할 거야.’ 그렇게 믿었다. 하지만 이번엔 달랐다. 윤슬은 정말로 돌아보지 않았다. 시간이 흐르며 하나둘 드러난 진실들. 상처 위에 덧씌워졌던 오해가 걷히고 나서야, 강현은 모든 잘못이 결국 자신에게 있었음을 깨달았다. 그러나 후회도, 사과도, 눈물도 더 이상 윤슬의 마음을 되돌릴 수 없었다. 그리고 어느 날, 윤슬이 SNS에 올린 한 마디. “진심으로 날 사랑해 줄 사람을 찾습니다.” 그제야 강현은 미칠 듯한 질투와 집착 속에서 진짜 사랑이 무엇인지 깨달았다. 하지만 이번엔, 그 사랑을 붙잡을 자격조차 그에게 남아있지 않았다.

My sister had struggled with severe depression for years, and the only thing that seemed to ease her pain was her dog, Toto, who had become her constant companion. But when her illness flared up again, Toto was nowhere to be found. Then, my husband, Lionel Cress's childhood sweetheart posted a picture of Toto on social media. [With her, it feels like you're here with me.] I lost it. I called Lionel in a frenzy, but despite being my sister's psychologist, he was completely indifferent. "Your sister has been sick for so long. How could she suddenly relapse just because Toto's gone for a few days?" When I rushed back home, I found my sister in the bathroom, her wrists cut. Later, Toto's body was discovered outside our building, with Lionel's gift to his childhood sweetheart—a ring—lying next to her. I buried both my sister and Toto, and left behind nothing but a divorce agreement. Lionel went crazy, desperately trying to find me.

A story about a strong woman (you won't regret, she isn't like other female leads) A story about an innocent girl, a girl who only knew how to spread love. She has the eyes of innocence, the face of an angel and a personality of a dreamer but her smile....her smile is so beautiful but what people don't see, is a smile that hides more pain than you can ever imagine. A story about a boy, a boy who was forced to grow up into a cold heartless monster. Every girl wanted to be with him and there wasn't a single girl in the campus who had not slept with him except for those who were the outcasts. He was a playboy, not caring about anyone's feelings except his friends and his sister. His sister was his world, he would destroy anyone who even dared hurt his beloved sister. What will happen when he gets trapped in misunderstandings, vowing to take revenge from the girl who caused his sister pain? What will happen when he breaks her beyond repair? What will happen when she loses her purpose in life and becomes lifeless? What will happen when he finds out the truth and regrets immensely for what he did to the girl he madly fell in love with? What will happen when he gets separated from her? What will happen when he goes insane in her love, yearning and craving for her attention....for her that he abused for something that she never did but rather saved? Will she forgive him or will he lose her forever? After all, the things he had done to her were unforgivable and beyond words..... "P...please don't leave me. Come back to me.... P...please...please Eyshana.... I... I love you" I pleaded and cried as I cradled her lifeless body.

In the fifth year of our bland marriage, I receive a message that my husband has booked a hotel room with a woman. Within the next second, seductive pictures of me show up in the work group chat. In the pictures, I seduced my husband but failed. My colleagues in the group chat mock me by saying, "She gave Mr. Reed an ultimatum and forced him to marry her. He was forced to break up with the woman he loves." "Mr. Reed put up with her for five years. It only makes sense that he could no longer resist and decide to reunite with his lover." My sick father dies out of shock, yet my husband does not show up to his funeral. That night, I inform Belinda that I wish to divorce her son. "Back then, you told me that I'm Caleb's blessing in life. You said that he'd have endless success if we were to marry. "As long as I married Caleb for five years, you promised to pay for my father's medical fees. Now that the time is up, you should let me go too."

It's often said "If you love something, let it go. If it comes back, it was meant to be." When you lose someone, sometimes they will find their way back to you. They'll find their way back into your life because maybe they have something else to teach you. Maybe they'll come back into your life at a time where they felt you need them the most. When they do, though, you will both no longer be the same people you once were. You won't understand each other in the same way. But, if they do find their way back, allow yourself to understand how beautiful your new bond with them could be and the new memories that can be made.

I spent five years as Dominic Santoro’s wife in name only. Five years hidden behind closed doors, buried under his sheets, erased from his world. When he finally agreed to take me back to Chicago—to stand beside him, to be seen—I thought I had won. I bought a new dress. Soft. Elegant. Worthy of a Don’s woman. The night before we left, he looked at me through the mirror and said calmly, “Take the makeup off. Change into pants.” I asked why. He adjusted his cufflinks like I was nothing more than background noise. “Juliana Lancaster is back. Tonight is our engagement.” Russian Bratva. Lancaster blood. A marriage alliance. Seeing my silence, he laughed—careless, cruel. “What’s with that look? Didn’t we agree on this when we married? Brotherhood. Loyalty. No love.” Then he turned, eyes sharp and mocking. “Victoria Miller… you didn’t actually fall in love with me, did you?” I stood there, frozen. Because inside the inner pocket of his tailored suit— was my pregnancy report. And the Don of Chicago had no idea the woman he was about to sacrifice was carrying his heir.
