Solo Project Haechan

Before the company Ruby Lane and I built finally landed a multimillion-dollar funding, she had agreed that we would get married once the deal closed. But when I rushed to the celebration party that night, I saw Ruby kissing the investor, Jack Hunter, in front of everyone. Then, she proudly held up their marriage certificate. Jack took the microphone and said, "To prove I'm serious, I didn't just invest money into the company, I gave myself too! My wife will lead this company to even greater heights!" My colleagues all looked at me, expecting me to cause a scene. Instead, all I did was smile as I clapped. "That's great news! I wish both of you a happy life from now on and hope that the company goes public soon!" The entire room went into an uproar. After the party, Ruby pulled me aside to explain what happened. "Jack throws money at this project like it's nothing to him. He just wants to know what marriage feels like, that's all. Did you really have to act that childishly just now? "Once the company goes public, I'll divorce him. Then, I'll make it up to you by doubling the amount of shares you'll get. You can see the big picture, right?" I smiled and stepped back. "Don't bother. The share price would have crashed. We're done, Ruby."

I lose my memory and wander the streets, surviving on scraps and the kindness of strangers. Then, Miles Blackwood from the Institute of Medical Research finds me and takes me in. He tells me that I'm his long-lost fiancee who ran away years ago, and that he's spent every ounce of energy searching for me ever since. As I'm frail and riddled with illness, he watches over me as I take my medication every day, tracing the scar on my lower back with a strange, tender affection. But everything shatters the day I regain my memory. I accidentally overhear Miles speaking to a friend. "Miles, you forcibly removed Cassidy's kidney for Claudia back then. That was what caused her to lose her memories. And in the end, you let Claudia take all the credit for the research. "Now, after Cassidy's been suffering out there for years, you're bringing her back just to use her for the artificial kidney project? Aren't you worried that she'll regain her memories?" Miles scoffs. "She's incredibly grateful to me now. Besides, she's just a sickly woman. So what if she finds out? As long as we succeed in the research on artificial kidneys, Claudia will become the star of the medical world. As for Cassidy? She'll have made her contribution to the medical field." A cold chill rushes through me in an instant—I am Cassidy.

My husband, Liam, got his terminally ill ex-girlfriend, Chloe, pregnant. He said it was to grant her dying wish of becoming a mother. On the day she gave birth, Liam's sister, Isabella, hired a security firm to guard the hospital, claiming it was to prevent me from causing a scene. Isabella stood by Chloe's bedside. "Don't worry, I have people posted at the entrance. If Ava dares to show up and make trouble, we'll have her thrown out immediately." Liam, seeing I hadn't come, breathed a sigh of relief. "Chloe, just focus on delivering our baby safely. Don't worry about anything else." He truly believed that since he was only fulfilling his dying ex's last wish, I would never be so unreasonable as to make a fuss. Looking at the tiny, rosy infant in his arms, he sent me a text: "Darling, I did this for you. I had her carry a child for us, so you could finally be a mother." He thought that as long as I accepted it all, this child was my ultimate reward. But what he didn't know was that I had just surrendered my residency. In one week, I would be in Kenya, working as a volunteer on a project of biomedical research. It was meant to be a final goodbye—a world away from Liam, forever. But he was searching for me like a madman, pleading for me to return.

Mi nombre es Arabella. Vendí 20 años de mi vida para convertirme en la asistente de un vampiro después de la muerte de mi padre para ayudar a mi familia. Debería haber tenido miedo de la sangre y los colmillos, pero en cambio, anhelo los toques de mi maestro. Lo que no sabía era que mi deseo por él solo me traería destrucción. *** "Sabes deliciosa." Él lame sus labios, acercándome más a él. El calor de su piel contra la mía y el ritmo calmante de su corazón latiendo me calman un poco. Relajo mis hombros y yago allí con mi cabeza en su pecho. "Ara, soy tu maestro y es mi responsabilidad mantenerte segura, pero hoy fallé." Sus palabras suenan sinceras, y realmente desearía poder creerle. Pero todos los vampiros son monstruos. Él solo resulta ser el monstruo en el que desearía poder confiar. «Mi amo vampiro: Un contrato de sangre y lujuria» es una creación de Angeline Hartwood, una autora de eGlobal Creative Publishing.

La noche en que la banda rival de mi familia irrumpió en el baile de la mafia, me tomaron como moneda de cambio. Mi novio, Nolan, y mi mejor amigo, Riven, estaban a solo unos pasos de distancia. Sin embargo, prefirieron proteger a mi prima, Anna, en mi lugar. Horas después, un hombre misterioso me rescató; estaba llena de moretones, conmocionada y ya todos me habían olvidado. Nadie preguntó qué me habían hecho. —Anna estaba asustada —se limitó a decir Nolan—. Ella nos necesitaba más. Días después, Anna me invitó a su fiesta de cumpleaños. Fui por cortesía, solo para ver cómo me convertía en la villana de su historia. Nolan y Riven se quedaron a su lado, protegiéndola una vez más. Esa noche acepté la alianza matrimonial que mi familia había preparado años atrás. Cuando me fui de la ciudad, Nolan me envió un mensaje; estaba enojado, herido y ofendido. “¿En serio te vas?” Le respondí con una sola frase: “Eres más que bienvenido a mi boda”.

Tanto mi compañero como mi propio hermano se enamoraron de una omega de clase baja. Mi compañero, Kael, seguía posponiendo nuestra Ceremonia de Emparejamiento. —Elara, naciste para ser la Luna perfecta. Ella… ella no tiene nada. Solo dale tiempo, ¿sí? Mi hermano, Liam, rompió la promesa que le hizo a nuestra madre moribunda. —Dahlia está tan indefensa, Elara. Mi deber de protegerte se extiende a ella. Lo necesita más. En nuestro cumpleaños, Kael eligió consolar a una Dahlia histérica. En el aniversario de la muerte de mi madre, Liam estaba con Dahlia, llevando a su mascota recién adoptada al veterinario. Y cuando se pararon en el escenario con ella en la Cumbre de los Lobos, aceptando el premio de planificación estratégica que era mío… Rompí mi vínculo con la manada y me fui para siempre. Pero cuando finalmente se dieron cuenta de que ya no podían sentir mi presencia… Los dos hombres que me dejaron de lado por una Omega de baja cuna destrozaron el mundo, desesperados por encontrar aunque sea un solo rastro de mí.

Following the success of her two novels, Cela receives an offer for the TV adaptation of her stories but a third story has to be written soon to complete a three-story special. She is not in to the project until she rediscovers the paper bearing the address of the meeting place of her supposed first date with Nate. Now that her mother is no longer around to interfere, she becomes inspired to reunite with him after many years and hopefully write the third novel based on their new story. Unfortunately, he is now about to get married in two months. Disappointed with the turn of events, she decides not to meet him again. She visits their old meeting place and finds it a good place to write but unexpectedly meets him there. They agree not to talk to each other if they meet there again but fate leads them to meet again under different circumstances leaving them no choice but to speak to each other. Suddenly, Nate’s fiancée starts acting weird and suggests that he spend the weekend with Cela while she is away. Although it confuses him, he figures that it is her way of helping him get closure. The two spend one Sunday reminiscing the past expecting a closure in the end but the wonderful moment they share this time only makes it harder to achieve that closure so Cela has to put a stop to it saying, “Please don't think even for a second that there is still something left or something new to explore after everything that happened or did not happen. This is not a novel. This is reality. We don't get sequels or spin-offs in real life. We just continue. We move forward and that's how we get to the ending."

For ten years, my family had called me a jinx. When I was three years old, my dad claimed that he lost a major project because he had to take care of me due to my illness. My mom wanted to buy me sweets, only to end up getting hit by a car in front of a candy store. That was how she hurt her arm. My older sister, Siena Bell, often claimed that she screwed up in her tests simply because I kept breaking her pens. One day, my mom invited a shaman named Mr. Reyes over. After inspecting the house, he contemplated for a while. "This child is affiliated with misfortune by nature. She's a walking jinx who absorbs the entire family's luck." He then added, "But if she has a life of misfortune, you will regain your luck." At first, I felt aggrieved and tried to fight back by throwing tantrums. I tugged at my mom's sleeve while arguing loudly, "I'm not a jinx!" But my mom just looked at me calmly. There was a hint of eerie calmness in her eyes. She said, "Mr. Reyes said that you have to accept your fate. Someone has to bear the sacrifices no matter what." Her icy words doused out the hope in my heart. In a way, this twisted dynamic actually worked. My dad's business went steady, whereas Siena started getting better grades. At one point, I even started thinking that I was a real jinx. But… why was it that my family was haunted by more misfortune after my death?

Para vengar a Lily Bauer, una huérfana que se hospeda con la manada Frostfang, Ethan Hawkins no se presenta a la hora acordada el día de nuestra fiesta de compromiso de apareamiento. Solo envía a su Beta a mi puerta con un mensaje: —La última vez, heriste a Lily con polen de acónito, humillándola en la reunión de la manada. Lo de hoy es solo una lección. Discúlpate con Lily y envíale el collar que a ella le gusta, y entonces nos comprometeremos. De la noche a la mañana, me convierto en el hazmerreír de toda la manada. Mi hermano, Ryan Fuller, dice: —Lily acaba de perder a sus padres. Deja que desahogue su ira. De todos modos, Ethan está destinado a ser tu compañero. Retrasar el compromiso unos días no es para tanto. ¿En serio? ¿No es para tanto? El emblema ancestral de la manada Frostfang no es algo que cualquiera pueda codiciar. Me doy la vuelta y sujeto el escudo en forma de lobo ofrecido por la manada Blackwood. —Acepto la propuesta de alianza de compañeros de la manada Blackwood.

Mi mamá accidentalmente me metió a un chat de grupo llamado “Familia Feliz”. En el grupo solo hay tres personas, mi mamá, mi papá y un chico que no conozco que lleva el apodo de “Tesoro”. Ellos están emocionadísimos organizando una fiesta de cumpleaños para él… y mañana es mi cumpleaños, ese que llevan diez años consecutivos olvidando. En el chat mamá escribe: ‘El lugar debe ser de ensueño, que se sienta como el rey de la fiesta.’ Luego, mi papá le hizo una gran transferencia de dinero, y le dijo: ‘No te preocupes por el dinero, solo no dejes que tu hermano se entere, se molestaría’. Mientras tanto yo, en silencio, tomo capturas de pantalla, esperando el momento perfecto para romper todos los lazos de una vez. En ese momento, mi hermana, siempre tan aplicada y ejemplar, me envía un mensaje al privado con una captura de pantalla de su conversación con mamá: “Mamá, ¿ya organizaste la fiesta sorpresa de cumpleaños para mi hermano? Me prometiste que esta sería la última vez que lo engañaremos”.
