(Ongoing Edits). I felt it when he called my eyes the most beautiful in the world. Kissed them like they were his salvation. But they were never really mine. He loved me, yes… But he loved her first. And I was just holding on to what she left behind... Now she's back and demand what's her. What will be left of me if she takes everything?

The day Calista Everhart gets divorced, her divorce papers end up splashed online, becoming hot news in seconds. The reason for divorce was highlighted in red: "Husband impotent, leading to an inability to fulfill wife's essential needs." That very night, her husband, Lucian Northwood, apprehends her in the stairwell. He voice was low as he told her, "Let me prove that I'm not at all impotent …"

Eu me chamo Ângela Guedes. No dia do quinto aniversário do meu filho, nós três fomos assistir a uma chuva de meteoros. No meio do passeio, meu marido atendeu um telefonema e partiu às pressas. No meio da noite, meu filho teve uma crise de asma, e o único remédio estava no carro do meu marido. Eu corria desesperada pelo campo deserto, segurando meu filho nos braços, ligando repetidamente para meu marido, mas recebi apenas uma mensagem fria: [Tenho uma emergência, não perturbe.] No dia seguinte, finalmente consegui falar com ele, mas quem atendeu foi a primeira namorada dele. — O meu cachorrinho morreu repentinamente ontem à noite. O Fidel ficou com medo de que eu ficasse muito triste e passou a noite comigo. Ele acabou de pegar no sono. Se tiver algo a dizer, pode falar para mim. Passei a mão pelo rostinho do meu filho, gelado, e senti o mundo desabar em silêncio. — Diga a ele que quero o divórcio.

For as long as I can remember, my family and I have been living in an underground basement that's completely shut off from the outside world. My parents have told me that the zombie apocalypse is terrorizing the outside world. The air is completely plagued with the zombie virus, and we'll die if we ever leave the basement. In order to save the supplies—which are already dwindling, to begin with—I've starved myself to the point I'm all skin and bones despite being only 18 years old. When I realize that there's only one last can of food left, I leave behind a suicide note. "Mom, Dad, now there's one less mouth to feed. You'll last a few more days." After that, I slit my wrist right away. Once I'm dead, my soul phases through the thick and heavy metal door. Bright sunlight illuminates the entire world. It's a beautiful, peaceful world filled with greenery. I can even hear birds chirping in the distance. Mom, Dad, and a bunch of people are throwing a barbecue party on the lawn. The mouth-watering smell of food being grilled permeates the air. So, it turns out that the zombie apocalypse is just a lie that's designated to trap me inside the fortress. I'm the only one who has died in this sunny, peaceful world.

I was the firm’s star. The one they called for the impossible cases. My latest miracle? The “Titan Project” patent case. I made the firm a billion dollars. My cut was supposed to be a two-million-dollar bonus. But today, a fresh-faced intern waltzed off with it. I thought payroll had made a mistake and stormed straight into the senior partner's office. “Preston. My two-million-dollar bonus. Tell me there’s been a mistake.” Preston didn’t even bother to look up. “Victoria, I’ve looked into it. We won this case because of Chloe’s client management.” “She was schmoozing clients. Late-night golf games. Weekend yacht parties. While you were what, exactly?” “You never showed your face outside the courtroom. Teamwork is everything.” I almost laughed. It was absurd. “She’s a rookie who can’t even recite the rules of discovery.” “Enough!” Preston cut me off. “The firm doesn’t make mistakes. I see what everyone contributes.” “If you're not happy, you can prove your worth somewhere else.” He tossed a severance agreement on the desk. My heart went cold. I signed it on the spot. Before I left, I got the last word. “Preston, next time the firm has a real fight on its hands, you’d better call your social butterfly, Chloe. Don’t bother me.” He blew a perfect smoke ring, smirking right through it. Unfazed. Soon later, my phone blew up. It was him. Begging me to come back and save his ass.

"What if... what if I had gotten pregnant back then? What if we had a child together? What would you do in that situation?" Ms. Julia leaned in, moving close to my ear, and whispered with a chilling intensity, "I would have killed him without a second thought." My eyes widened in shock, but the devil woman nodded with a cold smile. "That's right. Collin's heir can only be born from a woman who is exceptionally beautiful and exudes class, someone worthy of standing beside my handsome son. You, my dear, do not meet our standards. We have high expectations, girls." Marissa Bennett was left reeling from her mother-in-law's chilling words. Her elder sister, Renee, had abandoned her disabled fiancé on their wedding day, leaving Marissa to step in and marry him under the guise of Renee, all to save the family's reputation. The cruel twist? Marissa was forbidden from revealing her true identity to her new husband, Tyler Collins. After Tyler's surgery restored his health, Marissa's world was shattered when Renee returned, demanding her place as the rightful wife. Desperate to tell Tyler the truth, Marissa faced a dire threat from her mother-in-law, who vowed to kill her if she exposed the deception. Now pregnant and determined to protect her unborn child, Marissa must navigate the treacherous waters of the Collins family, seeking a way to escape and start anew, far from the lies and danger that surround her.

— Preciso da sua ajuda para forjar a queda de um jato particular — eu disse calmamente. — É a única maneira de eu conseguir deixar Luca Moretti. As pessoas diziam que ele havia renunciado ao trono da Máfia por minha causa. Chamavam ele do homem que trocou o poder pelo amor, o herdeiro que abandonou sangue e ouro apenas para se casar com uma garçonete das favelas. Durante anos, ele fez o mundo acreditar em nós. Ele construiu impérios sob o meu nome. Ele me enviava rosas toda segunda-feira. Ele dizia à imprensa que eu era a sua salvação. Mas amor nem sempre significa lealdade. Enquanto eu estava ocupada acreditando no para sempre, ele estava construindo um segundo lar pelas minhas costas. Um lar cheio de risadas, brinquedos, e filhos gêmeos que tinham os seus olhos. Na noite em que desapareci, o império dele queimou. Ele devastou cidades, subornou governos, e enterrou homens vivos apenas para me encontrar. Mas, quando ele fez isso eu já tinha partido. E a mulher por quem ele um dia morreria não o amava mais o suficiente para permanecer viva.

Meu noivo era o principal neurocientista do país. A primeira namorada dele foi diagnosticada com câncer, e só lhe restava um mês de vida. Para acompanhá-la em sua última jornada. Ele me forçou a engolir um novo soro da amnésia que havia desenvolvido, para que eu o esquecesse por um mês. Durante esse mês, ele ficou ao lado da primeira namorada para organizar o casamento, passar a lua de mel, e prometer um reencontro em outra vida, no meio de um mar de flores. Um mês depois, ele, em prantos de sangue, ajoelhou-se sob a chuva e, com a voz rouca, me perguntou: — O efeito do remédio é só de um mês. Por que você me esqueceu para sempre?

Langit hanya seorang lelaki biasa yang dipecat karena memperjuangkan nasibnya sebagai guru swasta. Sudah jatuh tertimpa tangga--di tengah-tengah perjalanan pulang, ia mengalami kecelakaan tunggal yang meremukkan seluruh tulangnya. Saat ia berpikir bahwa dirinya sudah mati, ia justru mendapati dirinya terlahir kembali di dunia lain, di Valandria; sebuah dunia di mana fantasi adalah kenyataan yang dapat ditemukan di setiap sudutnya. Sayangnya, Langit tidak terlahir kembali di kalangan orang-orang berkuasa, tidak pula sebagai seorang terpilih dengan bakat luar biasa yang mampu menaklukkan segala tantangan. Ia bahkan tidak terlahir kembali sebagai makhluk hidup. Ya, dia terlahir kembali sebagai seorang undead (mayat hidup), tepatnya sebagai seorang skeleton (monster rangka); salah satu bagian dari makhluk kegelapan yang menjadi musuh bebuyutan umat manusia di Valandria. Eits, berita buruk belum selesai. Langit tersadar di sebuah katakomba di Kota Magna, sebuah kota mati yang terkutuk dan kini telah menjadi hunian mayat-mayat hidup, makhluk kegelapan, dan kutukan. Parahnya, makhluk-makhluk kegelapan di Kota Magna ingin menghabisinya karena sebuah alasan yang belum diketahui. Harapannya untuk menikmati petualangan seru dan menakjubkan di Valandria akhirnya harus ia sisihkan di sudut sampai ia berhasil keluar dari tempat tertukut itu. Untuk itu, tentu saja, ia harus menjadi lebih kuat untuk dapat mengalahkan musuh-musuh yang berdatangan tanpa henti. Selain itu, rintangan yang dihadapi Langit rupanya bukan hanya makhluk-makhluk kegelapan, tetapi juga misteri pekat yang menyelubungi Kota Magna itu sendiri. Setidaknya, Langit memiliki sebuah sistem pemandu yang dipanggilnya dengan sebutan Narator. Dengan bantuan Narator, Langit menapaki jalan menuju puncak evolusi meski hanya sejengkal demi sejengkal karena, yah, Narator ternyata bukan sistem yang sempurna… Di kehidupan kedua ini, Langit memutuskan untuk menanggalkan identitas lamanya. Langit yang dulu sudah mati, sekarang nama barunya adalah O. Ya, O. Hanya satu huruf, O. Sebuah huruf yang mirip dengan angka nol; sebuah filosofi bahwa ia akan mengulangi kehidupannya kembali dari titik nol.

A amiga de infância do meu marido engravidou. Eu também. Para proteger a reputação dela, ele inventou que o filho dela era dele. E o meu... Era um bastardo, fruto de uma escapada. Quando entrei em pânico e o confrontei, ele só disse na maior frieza: — Paula Sousa é de uma família supertradicional. — Ela não aguenta fofoca assim. Naquele dia, olhei para o homem que amei por sete anos. Eu decidi que não o amaria mais.
