No Woman Left Behind

So, Mrs. Knight,” he said, voice dripping with mockery, “do we have a deal?” I stared at his hand. Then at his face. Then at the empty shot glasses. I slapped my palm into his. “It’s not Mrs. Knight anymore,” I said, squeezing hard. “And you, Mr. Arrogant, just hired the most vindictive assistant you’ll ever have.” His fingers tightened around mine, warm and strong and promising all kinds of chaos. “Welcome to the dark side, Isabella.” Behind us, Kayla whispered to herself and few people in the coffee shop, “Y’all, I’m literally witnessing the start of a mafia romance…” Lucian’s eyes never left mine. Something electric and dangerous crackled between us. And in that moment, drunk off tequila and vengeance, I signed my soul with the Devil. I said no to Alexander Knight at the altar. Then I said yes to Lucian Voss in the rain, still wearing my wedding dress... Because my fiancee betrayed me twenty minutes before we tied the knots. With Lucian, it was a fake relationship stringed with mind-blowing nights. Until I found out the man warming my bed is the “dead” heir Alexander tried to kill, and the baby I’m carrying could destroy them both.

I find myself losing my mind when I learn that my wife, Meredith Snow, is flirting with her professor. I rush to her school, wanting to cause a scene. My father-in-law, Liam Snow, tells me that it's my fault for not being able to keep Meredith in check. Matthew Snow, my brother-in-law, says that I deserve all that is happening to me. I tell Meredith I want a divorce, but she uses our son, Elias Fairfield, to threaten me. I have no choice but to endure her despicable behavior for Elias' sake. I never thought that I would have to endure it for the rest of my life. Meredith lives a fantastic life while I wait on her hand and foot. She's eventually promoted to the position of professor and is guaranteed a comfortable life. As for me, I work hard all my life only for Elias to call me a loser. I end up dying alone on my sickbed in a rented house. Taking pity on me, God gives me another chance. He sends me back in time to the day I asked for a divorce.

Si Jhai ay ang pinuno ng isang lihim na samahan na tinatawag na Lion Warrior, isang grupo na nagtutuwid ng mga maling katarungan. Maaga siyang naulila matapos mapatay ang kanyang mga magulang sa isang madugong insidente. Bitbit ang pangakong tutuparin ang pangarap ng mga ito, pinili niyang maging high school teacher. Upang mapanatili ang kanyang lihim na pagkakakilanlan, nagpakilala siya bilang si Zhaine, isang weird at old-fashioned na guro. Sa hindi inaasahan, siya ang itinalagang class adviser ng section 12-D—isang klase ng mga outcasts, pasaway, at mga estudyanteng tila wala nang pangarap sa buhay. Isa sa mga estudyante ay si Kenn Singson, anak ng school director. Masungit, matalino, at mailap—katulad ni Zhaine pagdating sa mga taong mahal nila. Bagama’t malamig at puno ng tensyon ang kanilang unang pagkikita, unti-unting nahulog ang loob ni Kenn sa kanyang adviser. At sa pagdaan ng panahon, kahit labag sa patakaran ng paaralan at sa sariling prinsipyo, natutunan ding ibigin ni Zhaine ang binata. Ngunit sa gitna ng unti-unting namumuong pag-ibig, patuloy pa rin ang misyon ni Jhai para makamit ang hustisya para sa kanyang mga magulang. Hanggang sa isang araw, natuklasan niya ang isang nakakagulat na katotohanan: ang taong pumatay sa kanyang ama ay walang iba kundi ang kanyang bagong kaibigan—isang private police inspector na lingid sa lahat ay may itinatagong lihim bilang kalaban ng Lion Warrior. Gumuho ang mundo ni Jhai. Ang paghahangad ng hustisya, sa pagkamatay ng kanyang magulang ang-siyang nagdulot sa kanya, upang siya'y mapahamak at mag-agaw buhay. Makakaligtas kaya si Zhaine sa bingit ng kamatayan? Isusuko ba niya ang Lion Warrior sa kanyang kaaway? handa ba nyang tanggapin ang alok ni Blue magpakasal kapalit ng kaniyang kaligtasan? At paano haharapin ni Kenn ang sakit ng mawalan ng babaeng unang nagturo sa kanyang magmahal—sa paraang kailanma’y hindi niya malilimutan?

Eight years after I married that award-winning actor, he publicly declared he was dating the top starlet, Celine James. He even posted a picture of the two of them celebrating their adopted “baby’s” birthday. I did not call him to interrogate him as usual. Instead, he hurriedly explained, “It’s just a pet we adopted. As its ‘dad’, I have to be there for its birthday.” I said calmly, “Rather than adopting a furbaby, why don’t we get a divorce? Then you can have an actual baby with her.”

On the day I died, my boyfriend was with another woman. He was a man I had rescued from the clutches of rich women. My condition was for him to be my boyfriend for three years, and he agreed. I showered him with money, resources, and connections, single-handedly making him famous. Yet, while he told me we could not date publicly, he casually engaged in fake romance rumors with others for publicity. One of his rumored girlfriends even came to me with a voice message. "If it weren’t for using her as a stepping stone, who would bother with someone so dull and boring?" But after I died, why did he go mad?

I’d thought Christmas would end on a sad note. December 25th, which started with my husband’s fraud discovery, caught him with our supposed maid in the afternoon… I wasn’t expecting anything for the evening. “Take me anywhere. Somewhere loud, mad, anything just anywhere from these disgusting humans.” The driver really took my request seriously. He took me away from humans to the dangerous and lustful world of the shape-shifters. I’d doubted, thinking the fangs were for Halloween until THEY appeared. They offered me what my husband and I make in a year for a night. I thought I was painting December Detty for just one night by accetping thier offer. But they said no. "We're the Alphas of the Dynera pack, a woman once ours, is forever ours"

Brenda thought her life was perfect, but her love story did not end up the way she wanted to. Her turned into a nightmare when her lover, Pablo, had an affair with a younger woman because she cannot conceive a child.

I was reborn back to 1975, when the child in my womb was three months old. I did not tell anyone and quietly had an abortion. However, I still wrapped cotton around my belly every day, pretending the baby was still there. In my past life, my husband Declan Huxley's childhood sweetheart Jane Patton and I gave birth on the same day. She had a healthy, ordinary baby boy. But my child looked nothing like us—he was mixed-race, with features of the Valorian people. Declan and I were both locals, so there was no way our son could look like this. Enraged, Declan scolded me in front of everyone, accusing me of cheating on him and having a disgraceful affair with a Valorian. No matter how many times I explained, no one believed me, and I became the shameful woman everyone pointed at. Worse still, Declan reported me and handed in some foreign letters he found at home, which led to me being taken by federal agents and sentenced as a spy. I spent ten years in prison, and when I finally walked out, I was nothing but skin and bones. Meanwhile, Declan had climbed the ranks for his so-called loyalty to the country. He held Jane's hand and brought along my real son, Seth Huxley, then threw 500 dollars at me like it was charity. He said, "Back then, Jane was accidentally deceived by someone else and gave birth to that brat. Unlike you, she has a gentle nature and couldn't endure hardship, so I had no choice but to switch your children. "This money is payment for your ten years and your reputation. You have a criminal record, and I already filed for divorce long ago to be with Jane. Seth also thinks you're not worthy of me, so you better take care of yourself." Seth also looked at me with disgust. "Mommy Jane treats me very well, and she's not like you; she's never been to prison. I don't want a mother like you!" When I learned the truth, the fury was so overwhelming that I had a stroke and died in despair. In this new life, I want to see how they plan to scheme against me when the child is already gone.
