O Flame Cleanse Me

She gave up her life, abandoned her family, and chose him over everybody else, all for love. But what did she get in return other than betrayal and heartbreak as the man she did all of these things for didn’t bat a lash before choosing another woman over her? While she was begging for his love, he was married to another woman whom she was showering with love and affection. She felt broken, but no way she was going to be pathetic in front of this scum. She was going to get her revenge and reduce him to nothing for hurting her this much. She was going to regain her lost respect even though her family no longer wanted her. It was going to be difficult now that she had no one by her side, but then he came along. Her childhood sweetheart whom she never dreamt of meeting again in her entire life. Will their old flame rekindle or will she give her scum husband a chance later?

After an earthquake, my boyfriend chooses to save a manipulative woman who's closest to the door. I'm pinned to the floor by a cupboard, but he forgets all about me. I pass out from the pain. When I wake up, I discover that my right hand is now useless. My boyfriend apologizes to me. He tells me he was only thinking about saving a life. Later, my boyfriend is diagnosed with a terminal illness. I'm the only person in the world who can save him. He weeps and begs me for help, but I can't hold a scalpel anymore.

Even though this is my eighth time proposing to Beverly Galvan, she still coldly turns me down again. She says that she isn't ready yet and that she needs more time. Since that's the case, I tell myself I will wait as long as it takes. That's when I see it—her and my brother's marriage certificate, posted for everyone to see on her social media. When I question her about it, she merely says in a calm voice, "Timothy's unwell. He can't get too upset, so you'd better not start anything!" They are wearing wedding rings in that photo, and there is a barely visible bump on her belly. In that moment, the storm within me dissipates. Hitting the like button on the post, I type out a comment. "I wish you both a lifetime of joy. May the two of you grow old together!" A year later, a desperate-looking Beverly shows up in front of me, begging that we get back together. Unfortunately for her, her best friend, who was clearly pregnant, steps in with a smile and pushes her aside. "Give it a rest, will you? My husband already has a wife. We can have kids of our own. There's no need for him to be someone's fallback guy."

A primeira vez que meu amigo de infância, Natan Santos, despertou como lobisomem, nossos amigos me chamaram para ajudá-lo a passar pelo cio. Mas Natan apenas balançou a cabeça. — Eu realmente não quero que ela consiga isso tão facilmente. O amor dos lobisomens é leal acima de tudo, e a primeira pessoa que eu marcar se torna minha companheira para a vida inteira. Quando a Isabela aparecer, eu não vou ceder, nem se ela implorar para me ajudar. Ele esperou e esperou, mas eu nunca apareci. Natan não sabia que o segurança do irmão dele, Luan, já havia lotado meu celular de mensagens. — Srta. Isabela, o Sr. Teodoro já a reivindicou como companheira. Por favor, pode vir e dar um beijo nele? Acontece que eu havia caído enquanto esquiava e morrido cinco anos antes. O irmão dele, Teodoro, me marcou e me deu metade da própria vida, me puxando de volta das garras da morte. Naquela noite, envolvi meus braços ao redor do pescoço de Teodoro e o provoquei: — Teo, para de se segurar. Me conta… há quantos anos você está secretamente apaixonado por mim?

Chuck's beloved ex, Ella, got divorced and showed up with her two-year-old daughter. Without asking me, he let Ella and her kid move into our home. Then Ella posted a photo of Chuck holding the child, captioned: [My husband cheated, so I filed for divorce, gave my baby a new dad, and found myself a new husband.] The comments were full of praise: [Real-life boss woman drama!] I had to laugh—so being a homewrecker is what counts as a strong woman now? Chuck didn't see a problem. He even told the child to call me "Momma." "Ella's husband cheated on her. She's raising a kid alone. As a woman, can't you have a little empathy? I'm just helping her out." Well, I had no empathy to give—not for the mistress, and definitely not for the scumbag.

Ako ang anak na pinapangarap nila, at siya ang lalaking pinalaki para sa akin. Hindi kami magka-apelyido o magkadugo ngunit magkapatid ang turingan namin sa loob ng bahay at sa harap ng mga magulang ko. — Heaven Abellana Bata pa lang ay alam ko kung bakit ako pinalaki. Matagal akong naghintay at walang makakapigil sa kagustuhan kong makuha siya. Dapat lang na kunin ko ang bagay na pinangako nila. — Rigel Skye

(Reverse Harem) I was an outcast. A reject of nature. The one thing no wolf ever wanted to be. All because of the color of my coat. I was a black wolf. An Omega. A bad omen everywhere I went. For years I had kept it secret. Kept it hidden. Until I couldn’t anymore. I was shunned for it. Forced to work as a slave in the pack I lived. Kamari Enoch, former daughter of an Alpha and Luna. Former golden child. How far I had fallen all because some old wolves thought my kind was a blight on this earth. Then the day came when I found my mate. An Alpha. The best thing I had thought would happen to me. My ticket out of this horrible life. But I was sorely mistaken. Arik Knox wanted nothing to do with me. Rejected me in front of the entire pack. It was the worst pain I had ever felt. But my assassin cloaked in shadows would step in soon enough. Break all of them into pieces. Shatter the world around me. For he was just as much of an outcast as I was. Just as broken. But the difference between us? He would burn the entire world down just to see me succeed. That’s what made Zayan Sterling so powerful. His hunger for revenge. And his need to satisfy me.

Depois que a amiga de infância dele morreu, Eduardo Ribeiro me odiou por dez anos inteiros. No segundo dia após o casamento, ele pediu transferência para servir nas fronteiras. Durante esses dez anos, enviei incontáveis cartas, tentando lhe agradar de todas as formas, mas a resposta dele era sempre a mesma: "Se você realmente se sente culpada, então morra logo!" Até que, quando fui sequestrada, ele entrou sozinho no esconderijo dos bandidos e me salvou, levando vários tiros. Antes de morrer, com o último fio de força, ele arrancou a mão dele da minha. — O maior arrependimento da minha vida... foi ter me casado com você... — Se tudo pudesse recomeçar, por favor... não volte a me atormentar... No funeral, Sra. Ana, a mãe dele, soluçava de arrependimento: — Filho, a culpa é da mãe... eu não devia ter te forçado... O pai dele me lançou um olhar cheio de ódio: — Você matou a Jamile, e agora matou também meu filho! Maldita azarada, por que ainda não morre?! Até o coronel que tinha insistido no nosso casamento balançou a cabeça e suspirou: — Foi erro meu separar dois corações. Eu devo um pedido de desculpas ao Eduardo. Todos lamentavam por Eduardo Ribeiro. Inclusive eu. Fui expulsa da organização e, naquela mesma noite, engoli veneno no meio de um campo abandonado. Quando abri os olhos novamente, estava de volta à véspera do casamento. Desta vez, decidi realizar o desejo de todos eles.

Malinaw na nakikita ni Rosie Frey Israel ang magiging kinabukasan niya sa kanyang boyfriend na si Rico. Tanging alok na kasal na lamang ang hinihintay niya mula rito. Ngunit hindi niya inasahang sa pagpunta niya sa night club ay malalaman niyang pinagtataksilan pala siya nito. Sa gabing iyon, hinayaan niya ang sariling uminom at kalimutan ang pagiging guro ngunit mas hindi niya inasahan na sa muling paggising niya sa umaga ay ibang lalaki na ang nasa tabi niya. Hindi niya napaghandaan na isang West Severino pala ang magpapabago sa takbo ng kanyang buhay. Kakayanin niya kayang tumaliwas sa tukso o mas pipiliin niyang sumabay sa agos at magpalunod?

I've spent my life in the lab, researching the cure for the disease that killed my mom. No late nights out, no dates, definitely no boyfriend. Then he breaks into my lab, steals my research, and kidnaps me. He's damaged. Crazy. And definitely not human. He and his friends are on a mission to stop the company that's been torturing shifters, and now I'm a part of it. He promises to protect me. And when he touches me, I feel reborn. But he's hellbent on revenge. He won't give it up. Not even for me. Or can he?
