私は学生の頃から付き合っていた久保直樹（くぼ なおき）と、卒業と同時に籍を入れた。 一から直樹が会社を立ち上げるのを、ずっと隣で支えてきた日々は、本当に大変だった。 私たちの子供が白血病にかかった時でさえ、お金が無かった私たちは、ただ見ていることしかできなかった。 それから5年後、私は再び新しい命を授かった。 その時には、直樹も若手実業家として成功していた。 人生これからだと思った矢先、あるメッセージが2通、私の元に届いた。【直樹さんのこと好きになっちゃった】 【いくら欲しい？直樹さんと別れてくれるなら、言い値で払うからさ】 メッセージの送り主は、山田家の甘やかされて育った娘、山田佳奈（やまだ かな）だった。パーティーで直樹に一目惚れしたらしい。 一晩考えた私は、翌日佳奈から送られてきた小切手に金額を書き込んだ。「10億円。これで私と直樹の10年を買い取ってください」

結婚七年目。御堂蒼真は平穏すぎる日々に退屈し、外で倉田結衣という女子大生を囲っていた。 か弱く儚げな結衣は、その身体で彼を骨抜きにし、一ヶ月もの間家に帰らせなかった。私がいくら呼び戻そうとしても、全くの無駄だった。 息子の三歳の誕生日。私は高熱で火のように熱くなった我が子を抱きしめ、別荘の外にひざまずいて蒼真に帰ってきてほしいと泣き叫んだ。 だが蒼真は、ガラス窓の向こう側で、狂ったように何度も結衣の身体を求めていた。 息子は、彼らの甘い嬌声が響く中、私の腕の中で静かに息を引き取ったのだ。 葬儀の日、蒼真は私を抱きしめて号泣し、家庭に戻って私だけを愛し抜くと誓った。 私はそれを受け入れた。 息子の最期の願いが、パパとママに仲直りしてほしいというものだったからだ。 四年後。息子が通うはずだった幼稚園が、ある動画を公開した。 動画の中では、蒼真が美しく着飾った結衣の肩を抱き、その腕には三歳くらいの男の子が抱かれていた。 男の子は満面の笑みでカメラに向かってトロフィーを掲げている。 「パパ、ママ、僕たちって世界で一番幸せな家族だね！」

When I was waiting for Theodore at City Hall from dawn to dusk, he was accompanying his first love on a hike. I called him dozens of times, but he rejected my calls instantly each time. He finally picked up on the twentieth call. "Why are you blowing up my phone when you simply didn't see me for a day? Why are you acting so desperate? Sammy's feeling unwell because of her heart and I still need to take care of her at the hospital. We'll talk later about registering our marriage." Ten years of love. This was the 100th time Theodore had left me alone in front of City Hall for his first love. I hung up and calmly tossed the wedding ring away. This marriage? I was done with it.

Mia Klein war seit drei Jahren mit Philipp Huber verheiratet. Sie hatte geglaubt, dass sie sein kaltes Herz irgendwann erwärmen könnte. Doch das Schicksal zeigte ihr eine andere Seite, als sie eines Tages ein Foto von ihm und ihrer eigenen Zwillingsschwester im Bett in den Händen hielt! Mia war gebrochen. Endlich war sie bereit, ihn loszulassen, und sich selbst ebenfalls. Doch als sie Philipp die Scheidungspapiere reichte, zerriss er sie vor ihren Augen und drängte sie an die Wand. Seine Stimme war voller Zorn: „Mia Klein, wenn du dich scheiden lassen willst, dann nur über meine Leiche!“ Mia blickte ihm mit kaltem, gleichgültigem Ausdruck in die Augen. „Philipp, zwischen mir und Sophie Klein kannst du nur eine wählen.“ Am Ende wählte Philipp Sophie. Doch als Mia tatsächlich aus seinem Leben verschwand, erkannte er, dass sein Herz längst ihr gehört hatte...

Lena Clermont fell hard for her dad's friend, Andrew Rohan—twelve years older. The first time she saw him, he was all sharp suits and broad shoulders, effortlessly standing out. He smiled, patted her head, and handed her a princess dress. Fast forward to twenty. He got drugged at a banquet. She wore that same dress, offering herself as the cure.

“Are you crying?" She shook her head and wiped at her face as more tears were falling. “I’m so stupid.” she groaned. "Now I am truly and utterly alone. If I had just said yes to marrying him, none of this would’ve happened. I wouldn’t have dragged you into this mess.” Without warning, I turned sharp to the side, putting the car to a sudden stop close to the curb. “Don’t ever say that again. You think marrying a man you don’t love, a man who doesn’t care if he hurts you, just to please your family is the right thing to do?” I turned to her slowly. “That would’ve ruined you.” “But I would’ve had a home to go to, I would’ve been taken care of. Now I have nothing,” she looked away. I reached over and gently took her bruised hand in mine. “You did the hardest thing anyone in your position could have done. You saved yourself. That takes more guts than standing there and pretending to be happy.” I tucked a hair behind her ear. “You think you are alone? You’re not… you have me.” ___ Alina Etienne has always lived a life dictated by her parents. She is groomed to be an obedient daughter, a perfect public image, and now, a bride to a man she doesn’t know or love. On her wedding day, crushed by the weight of expectations, Alina does the unthinkable... she says “I don’t” and flees the altar. On the run and scared with nowhere to go, she crosses paths with Mikhail Antonov. A cold, guarded man with a past he doesn’t talk about. What began as a reluctant act of kindness turned into something neither of them expected.

All my life, I have been trapped in the shadow of my sister, Selene. She was the Silver Moon Pack's Daughter of Moonlight, blessed by the Moon Goddess, the prize every Alpha coveted. What she didn't know was that this time, I had been blessed as well. I was reborn on the night of my mating ceremony. Just as in my past life, she smiled that harmless smile, insisting on giving me the first choice of a mate, maintaining her perfect facade of a generous and doting sister in front of everyone. This time, however, I wouldn't give her the chance. In my last life, I genuinely believed she had my best interests at heart. I foolishly gave her the first choice and chose Alpha Damien of the Black Forest Pack, a man who suffered from Moon Sickness, sending him into frequent, uncontrollable rages. I gave up my birthright within the pack and became the balm for his violent wolf, staying by his side every moment like a full-time caretaker, even though he never offered me a single ounce of a mate's affection. It was not until a Rogue wolf attacked during the celebration for Selene's heir that he attempted to use dark magic to steal her unborn pup's spirit. In that instant, the Alpha who everyone believed had been lost to madness for years was suddenly lucid. He lunged forward to protect Selene, but in his haste, he accidentally pulled me into the path of the dark magic. The spell struck me instead, crippling my wolf spirit. Only then did I finally understand. He had never truly suffered from Moon Sickness. His pack had never seen him as a discarded monster. He had feigned madness only because he knew he could never have Selene's love and refused to bond with anyone but her. In my final moments, he apologized to me. "Forgive me, Elara." "I could never let anything happen to Selene. I'll repay you in my next life." When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the night our father ordered us to choose our destined mates. This time, they were the ones begging for my love.
