Non-fiction That Reads Like Fiction

"I'll accept the hospital's offer. I leave for Italvia in two weeks." Vanessa Jahn stood by the window, pregnancy report in hand. On the other end of the call, Rob Lambert, the hospital director, sounded thrown. "Wait—what? After all this time? I've been trying to get you on board for years." She let out a humorless laugh. "Guess it finally felt like time for a change. Anyway, I've got a lot to wrap up before I go. We'll catch up later." She hung up. The ache in her heart lingered as she glanced back down at the report.

At seventeen, Tiana’s world shatters when a cruel twist of fate forces her into marriage with Nikolai Toriaga — the arrogant heir to a billion-dollar coffee empire and the same boy who made her life hell in high school. For eight long years, she endures the cold silence and lovelessness of the Toriaga household. But in secret, Tiana earns a PhD in Business Administration and quietly becomes a billionaire, investing her allowance in cryptocurrency and major company shares. When Nikolai’s father dies, Tiana assumes the marriage is over. The man who forced it is gone, and so is the reason for Nikolai to stay.

She expects the long-overdue divorce papers, but instead, Nikolai starts coming home… watching her, wanting her. When she finally confronts him, he fiercely responds, “There’s no way we’re getting a divorce, Tiana.”

That same day, she saw Luke at the hospital with his secretary, Helen Jones. He was accompanying her for a pregnancy test.

Après avoir annulé pour la 88 fois notre mariage, j'ai appelé mon associé pour lui annoncer ma décision : « Je me porte volontaire pour le développement du marché en Hériville. » Sa voix stupéfaite a résonné à l'autre bout du fil : « Tu es sûre ? Ce projet nécessite un engagement de dix ans sur place. Tu viens de te marier, ton mari est d'accord pour une séparation immédiate ? Et tes parents ? Ton plus grand rêve n'était-il pas de rester à leurs côtés ? » Fixant l'église vide, j'ai ri amèrement : « Le mariage a encore été annulé, de quel mari parles-tu ? Quant à mes parents, Claudine leur suffit. » Après un silence, l'homme a fini par acquiescer : « D'accord. Prépare-toi, tu pourras partir demain. » Raccrochant, j'ai laissé mes larmes couler sur ma robe de mariée. Oui, en ce jour qui aurait dû être le plus heureux de ma vie, Claudine Sadoul, ma sœur adoptive, avait encore tenté de se suicider à cause de sa dépression. Et une fois de plus, Gauthier Lortis, mon futur époux, avait annulé notre mariage. Je l'avais regardé, épuisée et désespérée : « C'est la 88 fois. » Rempli de remords, il avait baissé la tête pour me cajoler : « Accorde-moi encore un peu de temps, Léone. Tu sais bien que depuis cet accident, Claudine est si fragile… J'ai tellement peur qu'elle fasse une bêtise. Cette fois, je vais avoir une conversation claire avec elle. Ensuite, nous officialiserons notre union, immédiatement. » Mes parents, indifférents à mon chagrin, avaient insisté : « Léone, laisse Gauthier partir. Si Claudine n'avait pas été kidnappée à cause de toi, elle ne souffrirait pas de dépression. L'empêcher d'aller la sauver, c'est vouloir sa mort ? » « Comment peux-tu être aussi égoïste ? Ton mariage est-il plus important que sa vie ? » Ces reproches, je les avais entendus maintes fois. Auparavant, je m'étais défendue. Mais cette fois, j'étais restée silencieuse. Puisque mon fiancé et mes parents me rejetaient et ne me faisaient pas confiance, je disparaîtrais de leur monde !

Pendant trois ans, Élodie Mercier s'est comportée comme le toutou fidèle, se pliant en quatre pour Victor Moreau jusqu'à en perdre toute dignité. Mais pour lui, elle n'a jamais été qu'une option de secours, un plan B, une figurante dans sa vie. Dans tout Clairbois, personne n'ignorait que le cœur de Victor Moreau appartenait à Sophie Laurent, et qu'Élodie n'était qu'un pâle substitut. Le jour de son mariage, la vérité lui a éclaté au visage.

Sous les regards moqueurs des invités, Élodie ne s'est ni effondrée ni mise en colère.

En peu de temps, la nouvelle a fait le tour des réseaux sociaux. Et voilà que ce même homme qui la méprisait tant la plaque contre un mur : « Tu crois que c'est malin de faire ta difficile maintenant, Élodie ? » « Dites-moi, M. Moreau, on ne vous a jamais dit que vous aviez un sacré toupet ? »

My roommate had a peculiar knack for pestering everyone into liking her posts on social media, all so she could collect enough likes to claim some prize or another. It was her way of life—nagging, nudging, and guilting us into clicking that little thumbs-up. One time, the campus beauty queen liked my roommate's ad for a facial mask. Not long after, she was in a horrific car accident. The vehicle caught fire, and her face suffered severe burns, leaving her disfigured beyond recognition. Meanwhile, my roommate seemed to undergo a miraculous transformation, her complexion turning porcelain fair and flawless as though she'd been kissed by the heavens. Then there was the academic prodigy, a shoe-in for graduate school, who liked her tutoring service post. Shortly after, he was exposed for academic fraud, and his once-brilliant reputation was reduced to ashes. Strangely enough, my roommate's research paper suddenly won an award, catapulting her to fame and fortune. And me? I fell into her trap too. I liked her rental agency ad, and before I knew it, my world crumbled. A scandal erupted, revealing that I was the result of a mix-up at birth. It turned out she was the long-lost child of wealth and privilege—a hidden gem cast into the rough, now reclaimed by her rightful family. As for me, I was packed off to the countryside village she had escaped from and forced into a brutal marriage with an old man. My life became a living hell, and eventually, I died there, broken and forgotten. But fate wasn't done with me yet. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day my roommate begged me to like her post in exchange for yet another prize.
