Quotes Calm

Natalie Margaretha Cole had never imagined that her life would change in a single night—the night she gave everything to a man who would later destroy her. Marrying Cristian Cooper, a cold-faced and powerful billionaire, initially felt like destiny. However, the love she offered with sincerity was repaid with the cruelest humiliation. When Natalie discovered that she was pregnant, she believed it was her last hope—that the child would soften Cristian’s heart. She was wrong. To that man, Natalie was nothing more than a tool, a womb to produce an heir, not a wife to be loved. That betrayal shattered Natalie to her core. So she chose to leave, disappearing without a trace, carrying her wounds and the greatest secret of her life. Years later, Natalie returned as someone completely different. She was now a respected genius doctor, elegant, calm, and lethal in her intelligence. The past no longer controlled her—she was the one in control now. Ironically, Cristian Cooper, who had once rejected her, now stood before her filled with regret. When love, vengeance, and secrets from the past collide, will Natalie give a second chance… or choose to repay the pain she once endured?

Anna Whitmore dated Lucas Caldwell, a young heir from New York’s old-money circle, for three years.

Eight months into my pregnancy, my husband finally makes time from his police duties to go to a prenatal checkup with me for the first time. The moment we step into the hospital, his satellite-encrypted phone buzzes urgently. The caller ID flashes briefly, and just like that, the man who's always calm and collected panics. "Honey, it's a red alert. Another international fugitive just crossed the border. I… I'm sorry…" He's clearly anxious, yet his tone is firm, leaving no room for argument. After apologizing, he rushes off. As I watch his SUV speed out of sight, my fist clenches tightly, crumpling the prenatal checkup sheet. I flag down a cab, slide into the car, and swiftly instruct the driver, "Follow that car. Don't lose it." A Red Notice for a fugitive? What a joke. My father, who works at the National Security Agency, barely catches wind of a notice like that. Yet, somehow, a mere police chief who only assists with cases is suddenly tasked with catching a high-priority criminal. Fine, then. I can't wait to meet the superior who's given him such an urgent assignment.
