Paradise Lost Paradise Lost

My mate, Leonardo Salvatore, is the next Alpha of the Silverpine Pack. We've been together for five years, and yet he never agrees to hold our mating ceremony. But on the day I show up on his doorstep to confront him, I discover a pair of pantyhose and a bra that don't belong to me on his bed. Leonardo doesn't look ashamed and guilty in the slightest despite getting caught red-handed. Instead, he just shoots me a flippant smile. "Remember to tell the maids to clean up my room, Bella." His friends start a bet on whether or not I'll sever our mate bond because of Leonardo's affair. The wolf in question merely props his chin with a hand while saying airily, "Bella loves me far too much to leave me. Besides, she's a docile one. She'll definitely forgive me in less than two days." Leonardo is right. I do love him with all my heart. Whenever we got into fights in the past, I was the one who'd beg him not to leave me with tears running down my cheeks. But what Leonardo doesn't know is that he's already tainted. It's only natural for a goody-two-shoes like me to care about my mate's purity the most, so I can never accept a playboy like Leonardo as my mate. While he's waiting for me to return to his side, I muster all of my courage to ask the Alpha King, "I heard that you don't have a mate yet. In that case, may I become your Luna Queen?"

"I want a divorce," Cheryl said, placing the printed documents on his desk. Brian did not even hesitate. He signed his name at the bottom of the page and pushed the papers back across the table. "Take whatever money you think you deserve. Just make sure I never have to see you again." That was four years ago. Cheryl had spent three years in an arranged marriage, punished daily by her husband for vicious rumors she never actually committed. When Brian chose to pamper her manipulative stepsister while treating Cheryl with absolute cruelty, she finally walked away. She also chose to hide the fact that she was pregnant with his child. Today, Cheryl returns to the United States as the highly successful executive of Caldwell Biotech. She is solely focused on dominating the medical industry and raising her intelligent four-year-old daughter, Mira. When a massive business deal forces Brian and Cheryl into the same boardroom, Brian is shocked. He expects to easily intimidate the wife he discarded, but he is met by a powerful businesswoman who effortlessly blocks his every move. The corporate rivalry is difficult enough, but Brian soon crosses paths with the young girl standing by Cheryl's side. The child shares his exact features, prompting Brian to aggressively investigate the years Cheryl spent away from him. He is determined to uncover the truth, but he is about to learn that his wealth cannot buy back the family he deliberately destroyed.

After my daughter, Mia Powell, was declared brain-dead, my husband, Liam Powell, urged me to sign the organ donation consent form. I was drowning in grief and my mind was on the verge of collapse. That was when I accidentally discovered that her attending doctor, Blair Lincoln, was Liam’s old flame. They had lied about Mia’s brain death, just to trick me into signing the form and steal her heart to save Blair’s daughter, Sophia. I watched as Liam picked Sophia up from the hospital. The three of them smiled together, like a perfect, happy family. When I confronted them, they pushed me off a building, and I died from the fall. Given a second chance, I had returned to the day I was supposed to sign the organ donation form. As I stared at Mia lying in that hospital bed, I silently vowed. This time, that scumbag and that wretch would pay with their lives for what they did to Mia.

لطالما كانت إيريس تحلم بحياة هادئة؛ رجلٌ يحبها بصدق، يمدّ لها يد الخلاص من هذا المصير الخانق، وتشيخ إلى جانبه في سلامٍ .. لكن الحياة… كان لها رأي آخر ... "أرجوك… سيدي غابرييل… كفى… دعني أرحل…" ارتجف صوتها داخل الغرفة المغلقة، تتخللها شهقاتها الباكية. لا باب يُفتح، ولا نافذة تمنحها حتى وهما بالهروب. محاصرة داخل مساحة فاخرة… لكنها أشبه بقفصٍ ذهبي. وحيدة، في رفاهية لم تكن ضمن أحلامها قط . لم يتبقَّ لها سوى الانتظار… انتظار عودته. وعندما دخل، تبدّل الصمت في الغرفة إلى ثِقلٍ خانق.. عيناه كانت تبتسمان لها .. لكن بمجرد أن رأى الدموع تلطخ مظهرها الملائكي عبس بشدة . اقترب منها، ورفع وجهها برفق رغم مقاومتها . مسح دموعها بإبهامه و همس بحنان "إيريس… أخبريني فقط ماذا تريدين… وسأمنحك إياه." صمتت . كيف تخبره أن رغبتها الوحيدة الآن هي أن تختفي من هذا العالم كله؟ ثم تغيّر شيء في عينيها. لمع فيهما شيء حاد، غضبًا متأخرًا، متراكمًا . وفي لحظة اندفاع، عضّت يده بعنف وهي تحاول دفعه بعيدًا. "ابتعد عني…!" لكن ردّ فعلها لم يزده سوى بهجة . تراجعت سريعًا، ودموعها تنهمر رغمًا عنها ابتسم ابتسامة خفيفة… بدى و كأنه سيجن في أي لحظة. "طفل… أليس هذا ما كنتِ تتحدثين عنه من قبل؟" اقترب أكثر، صوته منخفض، هادئ . ارتجفت إيريس و أشاحت بوجهها الباكي. "قوليها مجددًا… وسأحقق لك رغبتك… فقط ابقي معي." أغلق شفتيها بشفتيه مانعا إياها من قول كلام جارح. تجمدت الكلمات في حلقها. اقترب منها، وحملها كما يفعل دائمًا، يخلع ملابسها لبدأ نشاط مرهق آخر . لم تعد تقاوم كما في البداية. لأنه ببساطة .... لا فائدة منه. كانت خائفة ، ....أن تخطئ في الكلام ... خطأ ستندم عليه حتما .. وهي بين ذراعيه، لم تجد في ملامحه ذلك الرجل الذي تخيلته يومًا. بل وجدت شيئًا آخر… لم يكن حبًا عاديًا كما ظنت . أدركت الحقيقة كاملة و لو كانت متأخرة. لم يكن هذا حبًا. ولا تعلقًا بسيطًا. كان شيئًا أعمق… أكثر التواءً من كل ما عرفته. هوس!!

"ماكسيمس… أرجوك، دعني أذهب، ايها المجنون… أنا أكرهك." ابتسم بهدوء، وعيناه تلمعان بهوسٍ مرعب، بينما مرر أصابعه على وجنتها برفق يناقض طبيعته. "إن وافقتِ على عقد قراننا السحري… سأدعك ترحلين. وإلا… كيف أضمن أنكِ لن تختفي مجددًا ها؟ أخبريني… ألستُ أنا كافيًا لكِ؟ إلى أين ستذهبين يا بجعتي؟" اقترب وهمس: "اصرخي كما تشائين.....فيما بعد سيصبح اسمي الوحيد الذي يخرج من بين شفتيك الجميلتين ." كان وسيما بشكل لا يصدق لطالما اعتاد ان يلعب بالنساء، لم تكن كلمة حب موجودة في قاموسه. لكن خلف ذلك الجمال، وحش لا يُروّض. في زمنٍ مُنع فيه اتحاد النور والظلام،خوفا من ولادة ما لا يحمد عقباه... تحدى ماكسيمس كل القوانين،ووقع في حبها.او بالاحرى… هوسها. من كان يعتقد ان وحشا مخيفا مثله لا يهمه سوى القتل و القوة ان يقع في شيء محرم كهذا مع انقى الارواح: "ليا"، التي عاشت في العالم الخفي داخل "شجرة العوالم – سيلينا"،ثمرة اتحاد روح الشجرة و اقوى طائر عنقاء منذ فجر التاريخ، وجدت نفسها حبيسة لديه منذ أول لقاء. وعندما حان وقت رحيلها… حبسها. مسخرا جم قوته المظلمة للابقاء عليها جسدا وروحا كان كل يوم يهمس،وهو غارق في حضنها: "لن يكون لكِ في جميع حيواتكِ سوى رجل واحد… و انا ذلك الرجل." ثم يضيف بنبرة لا تقبل النقاش: "حتى الموت… لن يفرّق بيننا." "ظنّت كلماته مجرد نزوة عابرة… لكنها كانت مخطئة." عندما حاولت الهرب… حتى على حساب حياتها. وفي لحظتها الأخيرة، احتضنها… مدمرًا نفسه معها، متوعدًا لها بليلة قاسية بعد أن يُعاد تناسخهما، وأنه حتمًا سيجدها مرة أخرى. … بعد ملايير السنين— وُلدت طفلة في أضعف الممالك، بشعرٍ أحمر وعينين خضراوين، وعلى فخذها وشم عنقاء. عندها، أدركت العوالم أنها عادت… تلك العنقاء الساحرة. وكان القرار واضحًا: إخفاؤها. بعيدًا عن أعين الإمبراطور الذي لم يُهزم… حتى من الآلهة. … "هل عادت حلوتي؟" رنّ صوت رجولي أجش، عميقًا ومخيفًا. "طال غيابكِ…" ثم ابتسم: "حان وقت تنفيذ وعدي… يا بجعتي الجميلة،كوني مستعدة"

"If it's destiny... I would rather choose to die... than to not have you love me back." ........... "Why him...?", Anna shook Mia's shoulder. "It only has to be him.", Mia firmly replied. "Are you aware of what you are doing...? Are you sure what you are throwing yourself into...?", Anna shouted. "I'm willing though.", her words left her lips. ................. "Now...are you still willing...?", Anna questioned. "I...I...though I can make him love me...for the whole 3 years...h...he...", Mia's voice trembled as she couldn't speak anymore. "Mia...you are not that helpless 20 years girl anymore...you have right to choose your happiness...leave that damn family of yours too...I will be your family.", Anna hugged her. ................ "Why do you want a divorce now...?", He was still the same...unbothered. His handsome face and heavenly features just remained as distant as he was before. His hair was combed perfectly taking her breath to see the view in front of her...but her heart was broken beyond to admire the view in front. Memories jolted her... Been 3 years...never once he cared for her...but on their wedding anniversary...he came back late...as she was waiting for him like she always did...but before she could realize...He scooped her in his arms as she walked upstairs to the bedroom she never dared to enter. The butler and his wife were left speechless seeing what just happened. Upstairs. He pinned her to the door, he stared at the sparkling eyes that stared at him...her beautiful fairy face was in shock. His throat felt dry...as his right thumb moved recklessly on her trembling lips. He gulped down the saliva after a sigh...he leaned towards her as his lips touched her collarbone... which made her tremble... ..........
