Pretending Artinya

The Scions rule the world now. Born of celestial light, they turned on their creators and claimed the earth for themselves. But their victory came at a cost—every daughter of their kind has withered into dust, and extinction looms. So they hunt human women to survive. Anwen has always been fragile. Sickly. Ordinary. She was meant to be hidden away in a sanctuary, safe from the monsters who would claim her. Instead, she’s taken by three of the most feared shifters alive. A Dragon, cold and untouchable. A Lycan, lethal and always too close. A Minotaur, silent and watching—like she’s a puzzle he intends to solve. They expect her to die like the others. Another delicate human who won’t survive the bond. But Anwen doesn’t break. She burns. And the longer she remains in their fortress, the more their control begins to unravel. Their magic bends toward her. Their instincts sharpen. Their possessiveness turns feral. Others want her. Their High King demands her. But these three won’t give her up. Because the fragile human they stole? She might be the most dangerous creature in their world. And they’re done pretending she isn’t theirs.

Pretending to be a couple caused Alex and Olivia to come under attack from many people, not only with bad remarks they heard directly but also from the news on their social media.

But the news that morning came out and shocked Olivia, where Alex would soon be holding his wedding with a girl she knew, of course she knew that girl, she had been with Alex for 3 years, the girl who would become his wife was someone who was crazy about the CEO, she's Carol. As more and more news comes out about Alex and Carol's wedding plans, many people sneer at Olivia's presence in their midst. "I'm done with all this Alex!" Olivia said. "Not for me!" Alex said. "It's up to you, for me we're over," Olivia said and Alex grabbed her before Olivia left her. “This is my decision! Get out of this place then you know what will happen to your mother," Alex said and his words were able to make Olivia speechless.

Axel, an eleven-year-old boy, was robbed of his childhood after the brutal assassination of his parents by the Hawthornes - his family’s longtime rivals. His parents had discovered the dark secrets behind the Hawthornes’ wealth, and for that, they paid with their lives. To deceive the media, the Hawthornes took Axel in, pretending to care for him while secretly turning his life into a living nightmare behind their cold, gilded walls.

Will Axel succeed in wiping out the family that destroyed his life, including the one person who once showed him kindness? Stay tuned to find out. You don’t want to miss this.

The day after the new year, during a family gathering, my aunt sneered at me as I worked overtime, reviewing a proposal. "Why are you pretending to be so busy? It’s not like we don’t know you only make three thousand a month. Real money-makers are people like my daughter, a designer so successful she doesn’t even have time to come home!" I ignored her, but she directed her spoiled son to delete all my files while I was in the bathroom. My hands trembled with rage. "This proposal is due in ten minutes—if I don’t submit it, everything is ruined!" She scoffed dismissively. "He’s just a kid. What could he possibly know? Besides, your job isn’t even worth much. If you lose the files, you lose them. Worst case, you get fired." I chuckled coldly but said nothing. She had no idea it was the proposal her daughter had spent an entire month working on. And I was the client who held her daughter’s fate in my hands.

I was different from the others in my pack. My wolf could hear the truths hidden deep in someone’s heart. Whenever someone lied, she would immediately whisper their real thoughts to me. During the two years I was with Jace, my wolf stayed silent. I knew his love for me was real. But on the day before our marking ceremony, my wolf finally spoke. "I need to stall Leah tomorrow. I have to mark Elena." "Elena's pregnant. She has to be marked to be accepted by the pack. Leah loves me too much to blame me." My hand tightened around the pregnancy test tucked deep in my bag. A cold dread swept over me. Jace, I was pregnant too. But I wouldn't tell you. I played along with his plan, pretending I didn't know the truth. I let him make Elena his mate, father to her pup. After their ceremony, all he'd find was the discarded pregnancy test I left behind. His heir and I would be gone from his world—forever.
