"I'll make sure that you will regret marrying me and you will suffer because of what your family did to my girlfriend." — Valerian Fernsby, leader of the England Mafia. ——— Bilang isang taong lumaki sa tahanan na itinuturing siyang black sheep ng pamilya, hindi kailanman nawawalan ng pagkakataon si Alice Hermione Dawson na tanungin ang kanyang sarili kung ano ang mali sa kanya at kung bakit siya mali ang pagtrato sa kaniya. Isang bagay lamang ang nais niya, ang tratuhin siya ng kanyang pamilya bilang bahagi nila. Pero ang ibinigay sa kanya ay pakasalan ang isang lalaking hindi niya man lang kilala. At sa pinakamasamang bahagi, ang lalaking pakakasalan niya ay ang lider ng isang Mafia Group sa England. Valerian Fernsby, isang malamig at walang awang tao. Isang bagay lang ang gusto niya, ang makamit ang katarungan para sa kanyang kasintahan, na namatay dahil sa pamilya ng dalaga. Kaya pinakasalan niya si Alice dahil ito ang magbabayad para sa ginawa ng pamilya nito sa kanyang yumaong kasintahan. Pero magtatagumpay ba si Valerian na makamit ang katarungan para sa kanyang kasintahan kung malalaman niyang wala namang alam si Alice tungkol sa mga maling ginagawa ng kanyang pamilya? O mas pipiliin niyang hindi ito pakinggan dahil maaring nagsisinungaling lang ito? Magtatagumpay ba si Valerian sa kaniyang plano kung unti-unti nang nahuhulog ang loob niya sa anak ng pumatay sa kaniyang yumaong kasintahan?

J'ai grandi aux côtés de l'alpha Griffith de la meute Avalora, et tout le monde disait que j'étais la femme la plus chanceuse de Merville. Pour moi, Griffith a refusé de conclure le lien sacré avec la compagne destinée que la Déesse de la Lune lui avait choisie. Il a proclamé au monde entier que j'étais son unique amour. Mais après que j'avais fait une fausse couche, j'ai surpris Griffith en train de parler à la guérisseuse : « Trouve une occasion pour droguer Luna, enlève-lui l'utérus, qu'elle ne puisse plus jamais tomber enceinte. » Puis, il a caressé le ventre d'une autre femme en disant : « Donne-lui les meilleurs remèdes pour protéger sa grossesse, je veux qu'elle donne naissance à l'enfant le plus fort et le plus intelligent. » Je connaissais cette femme : c'était Gisèle, la compagne que la Déesse de la Lune avait destinée à Griffith. J'ai entendu Griffith ajouter d'un ton grave à l'attention des autres : « Ne dites rien à Luna, prenez soin de sa santé de toutes vos forces, ou vous en paierez le prix. » Mon cœur était transpercé : je n'aurais jamais cru que l'homme qui m'aimait à la folie puisse me trahir. Plus tard, je suis partie sans dire un mot, leur laissant la voie libre. Et pourtant, il m'a dit qu'il avait perdu la capacité d'aimer.

When my son was born, I noticed a small, round birthmark on his arm. But the weird thing? By the time I opened my eyes again after giving birth, it was gone. I figured maybe I'd imagined it. That is, until the baby shower. My brother-in-law's son, born the same day as mine, had the exact same birthmark. Clear as day. That's when it hit me. I didn't say a word, though. Not then. I waited. Eighteen years later, at my son's college acceptance party, my brother-in-law stood up and dropped the truth bomb: the "amazing" kid I'd raised was theirs. I just smiled and invited him and his wife to take their "rightful" seats at the table.
