Bago pirmahan ni Calyx ang divorce papers, hiniling niya sa asawa na may mangyari sa kanila ng gabing iyon. Pumayag naman si Athena at sa gabing ‘yon ay ipinagkaloob niya ang sarili sa asawa ng paulit-ulit. Ngunit makalipas ang apat na taon, muling nag-krus ang landas nina Athena at Calyx. Pilit na umiiwas si Athena kay Calyx pero laging gumagawa ng paraan ang lalaki para mapalapit sa kaniya. Ngunit kahit anong iwas ni Athena, natatagpuan na lang niya ang sarili na pumapayag sa gusto ni Calyx. Ngunit isang sitwasyon ang ikinabahala niya. Nakita si Athena ni Calyx na may buhat na bata. Ano ang sasabihin niya? Aamin ba siya na ang dating asawa ang ama ng anak o magsisinungaling na nabuntis siya ng iba? O hahaplusin ang puso niya na sabihin ang totoo para sa bata?

I gave him everything a woman blindly in love can offer: my first time, my career, my loyalty—and what did he do? He cast it away for pleasure. Now he wants me back, as if I would go back to a cheating man who spent his whole life craving the attention he never received from his father, which was given to me freely. If revenge were art, I would choose the masterpiece. I wouldn't just be his ex-wife; I would become his stepmother, the woman his cold, ruthless father is obsessed with.

I was chosen to be the fiancée of Lorenzo, the Mafia’s heir. But at a family gala, Lorenzo was openly pursued by Chiara, the daughter of an arms dealer. Chiara wasn’t like the other rule-abiding debutantes.She tore through the streets in a modified sports car, used a military-grade combat knife to cut her cigars, and drank the harshest whiskey neat.There was an untamed wildness about her, a fire Lorenzo couldn’t look away from. He complained to the family elders, “How can a woman like that possibly be our Madre and run this entire family?” His words dripped with disdain for her recklessness, yet his eyes were glued to her, tracking her every move as she raised her glass. Then, on Lorenzo’s birthday, he announced his intention to make Chiara his mistress. Chiara refused.”The women of my family are wives, never mistresses.And my husband’s heart must belong only to me.” Lorenzo came to me, his voice hesitant.”Alessia, it’s just a title.I need you to give it to Chiara.Please? She doesn’t understand our family’s traditions, and she’s making a scene about marrying me.We just need to pacify her for now.Even if she marries me, you will still be the one to manage the family’s affairs.” As I stood trying on my wedding gown, a sharp crystal bead on the bodice pierced my finger.A single drop of blood bloomed against the pure white satin. The dress was ruined, but the wedding would go on. Since he chose someone else to be his wife, I will become his Madre.

Minha sogra me odiava tanto porque eu não podia ter um filho para seu filho, embora meu marido e eu estivéssemos casados por seis anos. Ela quer desesperadamente que meu marido se divorcie de mim, então ela e minha melhor amiga armaram para que eu fosse fodida por um estranho. Quando meu marido soube disso, ele zombou de mim e se divorciou de mim. Enquanto arrastava dolorosamente minha bagagem para fora de sua casa, vi minha melhor amiga grávida carregando sua bagagem para dentro da casa de meu marido. Acontece que meu marido engravidou minha melhor amiga. Chorei sangue e deixei a cidade. Sete anos depois, tornei-me um cirurgião geral popular e agora tenho lindos trigêmeos ao meu lado. Mas fui enviado de volta à minha cidade porque minha habilidade médica era mais necessária. Por uma reviravolta do destino, casei-me com um belo soldado. Só depois que retomei o trabalho descobri que o soldado com quem acabei de me casar é o general cinco estrelas, líder de todas as unidades militares do país, além de ser de longe o homem mais rico do país. Sou apenas uma mãe solteira tentando criar uma vida melhor para meus três filhos, agora que me encontrei enredada em seu mundo frio e implacável, como vou sobreviver? E como vou explicar a ele que não sei como meus trigêmeos tinham a mesma semelhança com ele?

I'm sold into the underground and turned into an anthropodermic fan, suffering endless days of humiliation. It isn't until my spine shatters from a hammered nail that my brother—Daxon Smyth—and my fiance—Joshua Moore—finally arrive. The two men who've doted on me for 20 years swear to make the guilty pay in blood. And I think my salvation has come. But when I overhear their words, I realize the truth—every torment I've suffered is of their doing, all to make me behave and stop me from competing with the true heiress they've found. When another man carries me away from that place, they lose their minds and scour through all ends of the world, trying to find me.

"Run, Bella Popovski. Run whenever you see me. For in this lifeline, I'll be the one to drive the wedge that will kill you to your heart" he whispered in my ear in a cold voice, making me shudder and recoil. Scared at how serious he sounded and how, before everyone present, he had managed to make me so scared being near him. Would i survive him? Or would I like he claims I did, be the one to stab the wedge into his heart before he does so to me? ********** Bella Maxwell Popovski was born a mistake—an unclaimed daughter raised as a servant in her own father’s house. Weak, wolfless, and unwanted, she dreamed only of escaping Moonstone Pack… until fate cursed her with the cruelest bond of all. Marked by Alpha Jaxon—the man who despised her and loved another—Bella endured three years of cold nights, shared beds that were never hers, and a mate who gave his passion to her stepsister instead. On the night their bond should end, betrayal sharpens into humiliation, lust into hatred and love into blood-soaked revenge. Locked away, sold to rogues, and pushed off a cliff, Bella awakens to a dark truth. Hunted and burning with forbidden desire, Bella must run—because the bond she rejected refuses to break… and the monster calling her name is far more dangerous than the alpha who broke her heart. But who does she run to when the mate bond forces her to choose?

A Royal Affair, A Royal Betrayal, A Royal Revenge Lyrielle lost everything after she was accused of cheating and murder. She was rejected by her husband, and her family was sentenced and brutally murdered by the royal family of Mecianda. They sentenced her to burn alive too, but Arineth, the bastard prince of Mecianda and the fated mate she had rejected, saved her life—not out of love, but revenge against his own family who had betrayed him and exiled him. Together they swore to destroy Mecianda, not as Lyrielle and Arineth, but as the king and queen of Katula Kingdom.

Eu morri no meu aniversário, mas os meus pais e o meu marido não perceberam. Eles estavam ocupados demais, dedicando toda a atenção para planejar a festa de aniversário da minha irmã gêmea, Esme Shaw. Enquanto ela estava cercada por pessoas ajudando-a a escolher um vestido, eu fui amarrada e jogada no porão. Com a pouca força que me restava, forcei meus dedos quebrados a digitar o código—9395. Era um sinal que meu marido, Edwin Grant, e eu tínhamos combinado. Era uma forma direta de pedir ajuda em caso de perigo. Nunca pensei que um dia realmente precisaria dele. Mas quando enviei, ele não acreditou em mim. Sua resposta foi fria: "Claudia, está fazendo um espetáculo só porque não te levei pra comprar um vestido novo?" Você ainda pode usar o vestido do ano passado. Pare de arrumar confusão. Te vejo na festa mais tarde.” O que ele não sabia era que Esme já havia destruído aquele vestido em pedaços. Ele não tinha ideia de que eu parti logo após desligar. A celebração começou e eu não estava presente. Um alvoroço tomou conta da sala quando viram o presente que eu tinha preparado para a Esme com antecedência.

The casino my husband and I ran was about to go through a chaotic police raid. Anyone who got caught would likely end up arrested. We had the time to leave. But we couldn’t all leave. One of us had to stay behind, or the cops would keep chasing us. Elias, my charming husband, didn’t even hesitate. He grabbed Mireille and left me to handle the cops, tossing over his shoulder, “I’ll send a lawyer to you.” Lucky for me, I managed to walk away without any consequences. And then, I saw, Elias, the man who was supposed to have my back, not only did escape without me, he also whisked Mireille away to some fancy resort, like they were on vacation. He looked so carefree, so unbothered. Not a hint of concern for the wife he’d just abandoned. “Think Seraphina’s gonna be mad that we left without her?” Mireille asked, all innocence. Elias laughed, that cold, detached laugh that sent a shiver down my spine. “Please. As if she’d ever get mad at me. She can handle herself.” He didn’t care. But you know what? Neither do I. Not anymore.
