Sneered

"There's no escaping from me, child. You must think you're so clever, huh? A st*pid omega like yourself getting into medical school. You're never going to become a doctor." She sneered, and for the second time in a month, my world fell apart. Amy's life has been miserable growing up with a gambler mother, Amy’s mother has always antagonized her throughout her life. As if her life was not miserable enough, she got cheated on by her longtime boyfriend, which led her to have a one-night stand with the most feared and wealthiest Alpha, Liam Arlington. What will Amy do when she realizes she has been sold to her one-night stand by her mother?

My usually cold and distant wife shared a bowl of soup with her newly joined colleague. Surprisingly, I felt calm, even as I brought up divorce. She sneered at me, "Don't be ridiculous. I'm exhausted. He's just a colleague of mine." "Even if we're married, you have no right to interfere with what I do with my colleagues." "If that's what you think, then I can't help you." When I actually put the divorce papers in front of her, she flew into a rage. "Ryan, do you think the Wagners were still what they used to be? You're nothing without me!"

I was Lonnie Vaughn's fiancée, yet he treated me with disdain, looking at me as though I was nothing more than a bothersome obligation. To outsiders, I was just a caged songbird he kept for amusement—disposable when he tired of me. I refused to believe it. In my eyes, Lonnie loved me, too; he was just terrible at expressing it. But that illusion shattered when I became the victim of face-swapping. When those filthy videos were played in front of Lonnie, he refused to listen to my desperate explanations. When I was kidnapped, he refused to pay the ransom. All because his maid sneered, "Olivia's tainted. She needs to be taught a lesson." Lonnie responded, "I never want to see you again in this lifetime." Those words fueled the captors' cruelty. For three months, they tortured me. By the end, I truly was tainted, and my love for Lonnie was buried beneath layers of ash and despair. Then Lonnie appeared before me while sobbing in regret, begging me to love him again.

Vincenzo Moretti was Stonehaven’s youngest financial titan— a tech mogul commanding a multibillion-dollar empire, gracing the covers of business magazines as a modern legend. But only a select few knew the truth: he was also the ruthless Don controlling the East Coast mafia. To him, wealth and power were mere chips in a game. And I? I was just another pawn used to stabilize a fragile family alliance. In our ten-year marriage, he slept with my friends, my coworkers… every single person I once trusted. Then one morning, as I took our one-month-old baby for a routine checkup, Sienna Newton, his latest mistress, ran me down with her car. The baby screamed endlessly. I begged her to take us to the hospital, and when Vincenzo arrived, he looked at me with cold disdain. “Isabella,” he sneered, “when did you learn to stage accidents? “Even if you died here, I wouldn’t bat an eye.” Then he took Sienna’s hand and walked away without a backward glance. By the time I was rushed to the hospital, the child in my arms had suffocated. Upon hearing the news, my mother suffered a heart attack. She didn’t survive. I slipped into a coma for two days. When I finally woke up, I found out that Vincenzo never visited. Instead, his father, Renato Moretti, the true king of the Moretti empire, stood by my bedside. I looked at him calmly and said, “Let me go. Whatever I owed your family, I’ve repaid in full with two lives.” Later, that same Don who had once looked down on me knelt before me, begging me to come home. But I was no longer the woman who waited, silent and broken, for his change of heart. I was the Don’s wife who turned away and never looked back.

"How dare you,” Alpha Loeka sneered, putting his foot over my hand. Blood trickled down her cheek. My skin was splintered, but I was done talking. His nostrils flared. “You will do as commanded!” he growled. His alpha's tone was commanding and powerful, clearly drawing the line between those who gave the orders and who followed. “Wha…t about the academy?” I stammered. The words felt fragile in my mouth, as if they would shatter if I let them out again. “I will let the council know you're no longer interested in the admission,” Father answered, his voice laced with disdain. My brow rose in surprise—and, well, surprise. “Father…!” I protested. My heart shattered. This was betrayal. I brushed off a tear that had slipped free. There was no use crying. Father didn't deserve it. But the pain I felt was numbing; it was slowly killing me. “You've always wanted to do something great for the pack, right?” he said, grinning slyly. He was using my words against me. If cruelty were a person, it would be my father. **** Camille Loeka, hunter and daughter of Alpha Loeka, had lost her father's interest—or whatever love he had once shown her—after the night of her disgraceful shifting What had begun as a bitter disappointment from Alpha Loeka had transformed into an outright disdain for her very existence. Determined to build her life beyond the hatred that surrounded her, Camille had just gained admission to Aston-Lakenheath Academy—a golden opportunity to rebuild her future and perhaps, earn her father's trust. But that hope was shattered when the contract marriage offer was signed, forever altering the course of her life. What fate awaits Camille as she learns not only that the cursed son is her destined mate but also the truth about her biological parent.
