Si tú y el primer amor de tu esposo sufren un accidente al mismo tiempo, ¿a quién rescataría él? Alejandro García alzó a su primer amor en brazos y se marchó. La vida se desvaneció: el hijo se había perdido y, con él, murió por dentro Sofía Herrera. Un acuerdo le había dado a Sofía la oportunidad de casarse con el hombre al que más quería. Todos sabían que había conseguido ese matrimonio luego de romper la relación entre Alejandro y su primer amor. Todo para quedárselo. Ella creyó que el tiempo lo haría valorarla, que eventualmente llegaría el momento en que él la mirara de verdad. Hasta el día en que tuvo que enterrar con sus propias manos los restos del bebé de tres meses que nunca llegó a nacer. Fue entonces cuando finalmente abrió los ojos. —Divorciémonos. Un acuerdo sencillo, para quedar a mano. Tres meses más tarde, bajo las luces brillantes y entre el murmullo de la multitud, ella subió al escenario a recibir un reconocimiento. Él la miró con sorpresa por algunos segundos antes de voltearse hacia los presentes con calma y decir: —Así es, ella es mi esposa. —¿Esposa? Sofía dibujó una sonrisa en sus labios mientras le pasaba el acuerdo de divorcio. —Disculpe, señor García, ahora soy su exesposa. Ese hombre siempre tan sereno y frío perdió el control en ese instante. Con los ojos inyectados en sangre y la voz quebrada, gritó: —¿Exesposa? ¡Yo jamás acepté eso!

After being chosen by a horror game, I took over a food stall in a small town. A ghoul tried to eat me, his huge, bloody mouth a gaping maw, but I quickly shoved a focaccia sandwich into it. He chewed and then said, “Oh, forget it. With food to eat, I’ll kill her tomorrow.” The next day, I made delicious pierogies, then skewers and stews. All the ghouls who stopped by gave up on trying to kill me, focusing on eating instead. The audience watching me was shocked that I could survive all the way to the end with just my cooking.

Ao despertar de um pesadelo fatal, Liliana percebe que a vida lhe deu uma segunda chance. Ela retornou exatamente ao mês anterior ao seu casamento, no momento em que seu pai, Joaquim, a pressionava para ceder seu noivo, Pedro, à Renata. Na vida passada, ela sofreu em silêncio. Nesta vida, ela acordou para a verdade. Diante da hipocrisia do pai, Liliana não derramou uma única lágrima. Em vez disso, um sorriso frígido curvou seus lábios e ela propôs um acordo chocante. — Eu aceito. — Declarou Liliana, com a voz rouca e fria, cortando o discurso dele pela raiz. — Quero um bilhão. Além disso, quero o rompimento oficial e definitivo de nossa relação de pai e filha. Se o afeto familiar é uma mercadoria barata, ela prefere trocá-lo por ouro. Vendendo um casamento arranjado e renegando uma família tóxica, Liliana inicia sua jornada de vingança e liberdade, não mais como a filha obediente, mas como uma rainha bilionária e indomável.

Studying abroad can be incredibly lonely at times. That night, I was in my room, indulging in a little treat for myself, when my best friend suddenly burst through the door. "Doing it yourself is no fun. Come on. There's a super cool cabaret show going on. Let's go see it together!" On stage, my friend was reclining in a chair behind the curtain, with two strong-looking men on top of her. "Come on. Join us for a group dance..."

In the third year of our marriage, my wife’s ex-boyfriend of eight years suddenly posted a picture on social media showing off a multi-million-dollar wedding house. His caption read: “Wow, got myself a huge villa, I’m the master of charming women!” I stared in shock at the picture, which showed my wife swiping her card at a sales office, and left a single comment: "?" A second later, my wife called to scold me. “I was just fulfilling a promise I made to him back when we were dating, buying him a house. Why are you getting mad at him?” “What? Are you really going to be so vicious as to force me to break my word?” That evening, her ex showed off another lavish post, this time flaunting a renovation bill worth hundreds of thousands. I knew it was a gift from my wife to please him. But by then, I no longer cared.

Life is unfair, that's what Helga Novalie thought, living in poverty and torture from her drunk and gambler father. The girl had to sacrifice everything, her job and her future. Even the hope of getting out of that hell felt impossible. However, one night Helga accidentally witnessed a car accident where the female driver tried to save Helga but in vain. Who would have thought that it was the beginning of how Helga got out of the hell created by her father? However, Helga never knew that a new, colder, and more thrilling hell was waiting for her when Zean Wilder made Helga his replacement wife. A famous billionaire like Zean could not possibly be involved in the dark mafia world. Helga, who was trying to get out of that cold and dark hell, learned that the woman she had saved and given the necklace to was Helga's older sister who had long since left with their mother. Feelings of anger and revenge burned in Helga's heart and she swore to find whoever killed her older sister. However, Helga's existence is threatened because of a secret hidden in her necklace. Can Helga find her happiness amidst the hell that always surrounds her, and conquer Zean's cold and empty heart? Who would have thought that something big was waiting for them both?

To save his mother’s life as she lay critically ill in the operating room, Dante had no choice. The hospital bills kept piling up. Every door he knocked on for help closed, one by one. Until an offer came—dirty, dangerous, and binding. To become a mafia boss’s kept man. Leonard Virelli was not just a wealthy man. He was the shadow ruler of the city—ambitious, manipulative, and accustomed to getting whatever he wanted. Including Dante. Dante knew this was not simply a “relationship.” It was an unspoken contract of ownership. Of a body paid for. Of a life slowly brought under control. He had never imagined himself stepping into a world like that. But for the cost of the surgery, for the only family he had left, Dante was willing to swallow his pride. What he did not expect was how dangerous Leonard truly was. The man did not only want Dante’s presence at his side—he wanted obedience. Loyalty. Perhaps even… his heart. Behind the expensive suits and cold smiles, Leonard harbored an unhealthy obsession. He was not used to being rejected. Not used to losing. And the more Dante tried to keep his emotional distance, the tighter Leonard’s grip became. Trapped between guilt, desperation, and feelings that began to grow without permission, Dante found himself asking a question he was afraid to answer: Did he sell himself to save his mother? Or had he unknowingly surrendered himself to a man who would never let him go? In the mafia world filled with blood and betrayal, love is not tenderness. Love is possession. And Dante has just signed a contract with the most dangerous man in the city.

My girlfriend keeps saying that she comes from a poor family, but she gives her childhood sweetheart a yacht on our anniversary. I text her to ask about this, but all she does is berate me. "Who do you think you are? How dare you stick your nose into my business! I'll give anyone whatever I want. My money, my call. Get lost!" Unbeknownst to her, I'm covered in blood on the other end of the line.
