St-charles Library Hours

When the SAT scores are out, I've scored 400 out of 1600. That's because I never wrote anything on my exam papers. My mom goes crazy, whereas my younger sister, Melinda Bolton, bursts into tears. But I just laugh at them instead. In my previous life, Melinda had formed a pact with the score-swapping system. That was how she swapped our SAT scores. She became the top scorer that all prestigious universities fought to recruit. I, the valedictorian of my year, not only got into a trade school, but I also got expelled from my previous high school. Melinda had the gall to comfort me. "Didn't you call yourself a genius, Melissa? Trade schools are very popular right now. In the future, you'll secure a job at a factory out there!" In this life, I spend my exam hours sleeping in my seat the whole time. Melinda wants to swap her scores, right? Then, let's do it properly!

He killed their marriage on a stage. She faked her death on the road. Five years ago, Cassian Wolfe—a man who never believed in love—married Leah Quinn to close a deal. On their anniversary, he closed their marriage. Publicly. Brutally. Hours later, she was “dead.” But Leah didn’t die. She vanished—helped by the last person Cassian would ever suspect: his elder brother. Now she’s back. Not as Leah. But as Raven with a new face, a billion-dollar company, and a son Cassian doesn’t know exists. Her mission? Burn down everything with the Wolfe name. When Cassian meets the mysterious new CEO of a fast-rising rival firm, he feels an inexplicable pull. He doesn’t know she’s his late wife. But when the truth slowly unravels—piece by piece—he realizes what he lost… and that he’ll do anything to get her back. Even if she hates him. Even if she’s engaged to his brother.

The night my family’s rival gang stormed the mafia ball, I was taken as leverage. My boyfriend, Nolan, and my closest friend, Riven, stood only steps away. But they chose to shield my cousin, Anna, instead. I was being saved by a secret man hours later—bruised, shaken, and already forgotten. No one asked what had been done to me. Nolan only said, “Anna was scared. She needed us more.” Days later, Anna invited me to her birthday party. I went out of courtesy—only to watch her cast me as the villain of her story. Nolan and Luca stood by her, protecting her again. That night, I said yes to the marriage alliance my family had prepared years ago. When I left the city, Nolan finally texted—angry, wounded, offended. “You’re really leaving?" I replied with just one line. “You’re more than welcome to my wedding.”

I was performing the hundredth "restoration" surgery on my mafia husband's latest mistress when I finally decided to leave him. For five years, I, Isabella Rossi, have lived a double life: the respected wife of a powerful Don, and the personal physician tasked with "purifying" the women he discards. Vincent's twisted religious conviction is his law: only a wife untouched by any other man can bear his legitimate heir. I was that pure wife, yet he treated me as his most unclean possession. My love for him died a slow death. A thousand empty nights. It was killed by the cold steel of my own operating table. By the sounds of other women boasting about his touch. The five-year prenuptial agreement that bound me to this hell was set to expire at midnight. I had already called my grandfather, the only man Vincent truly fears. My escape was hours away. By the time he realized his mistake, it was too late.

While I'm poisoned with wolfsbane, a female Omega named Rita Thorne has accused me of being a traitor of the pack. But my husband, Fenrir Grimm, refuses to listen to my explanation. As he holds Rita in his arms, he tells me icily, "Cynthia Huntley, you're no longer worthy of being my Luna. From today onward, Rita shall replace you as the Luna. You, on the other hand, shall be exiled from the pack." Not only does Rita brand a mark of humiliation on my face, but she also secretly swaps out the antidote for the wolfsbane with something else. She wants me to die as a disfigured she-wolf. I don't want to, nor am I willing to accept this fate. The moment before Death embraces me fully, I pray to the Moon Goddess desperately. When moonlight illuminates the land, I hear the Moon Goddess's loving voice. "Cynthia, you're given 48 more hours to live."

Le Maître de la famille Moreau a été assassiné par une famille rivale, laissant derrière lui sa femme veuve, Irina. Son frère cadet, mon mari Gabriel, a pris sa place en tant que Maître de famille. Ce titre était assorti d'un devoir : assurer la pérennité de la lignée de Moreau en donnant un enfant à la veuve de son frère. « Adrienne est stérile depuis des années, c'est à Irina de faire ce qu'elle n'a pas pu faire, la famille Moreau ne peut pas être sans héritier. » La voix d'Isoline était pleine de mépris. Gabriel m'a serrée contre lui en murmurant des promesses. « Dès qu'Irina sera enceinte, je jure de ne plus jamais la toucher. » « Adrienne, tu es la seule que j'aime. » Trois mois, et il n'a pas mis les pieds dans notre chambre. Après qu'il m'ait ignorée devant tout le monde, choisissant Irina encore et encore, je suis finalement partie. J'ai pris ce qui m'appartenait et j'ai laissé une chose en partant : un test ADN. C'était mon dernier cadeau à Gabriel.

Mit zwanzig legte mir der steinreiche Kriegskamerad meines Großvaters die Fotos aller seiner Enkel vor. „Such dir einen aus“, sagte er. „Einen Mann für dich.“ Ohne eine Sekunde zu zögern zeigte ich auf den sechsten: Dieter Weber. Die Anwesenden waren schockiert. Schließlich wusste jeder, dass ich immer nur den dritten Weber-Enkel, Egon, wollte. In meinem vorherigen Leben hatte ich meinen Willen bekommen: Ich heiratete Egon Weber. Und dank dieser Heirat erbte er den Großteil des Familienvermögens. Doch nach der Hochzeit ging er eine Affäre mit meiner jüngeren Schwester ein. Meine Eltern waren außer sich vor Wut und schickten meine Schwester zum Studium ins Ausland. Doch Egon war überzeugt, ich hätte sie auseinandergebracht. Von da an hasste er mich aus tiefster Seele. Von da an war er ständig von Frauen umgeben, die meiner Schwester ähnlich sahen. Jede Einzelne. Ich verfiel in eine schwere Depression. Anstatt mir zu helfen, wurden meine Medikamente gegen ein langsames Gift ausgetauscht – von ihm. Am Ende starb ich, mit seinem ungeborenen Kind im Leib. Nun, da ich noch einmal leben durfte, würde ich ihnen den Weg freimachen. Doch was ich nicht ahnte: Auch Egon Weber war zurückgekehrt!
