Steel Wind Strike 5e

While I'm waiting for my wife, Anna Fulton, I happen to come across a popular post on social media that's posted by someone who lives in the same city as I do. "What should I do if my husband clings to me too much?" Among the comments that make fun of the original poster for flaunting her happy marriage on the Internet, the lengthy comment left by a masculine ID attracts my attention. "You gotta pretend to be ditzy and dumb. My childhood friend was forced to marry the man she doesn't love, so I suggested to her that she should pretend to be a directionally-challenged idiot. She kept up that facade for five years so far. "After that, her mother-in-law kept urging her to give birth to a baby. So, she secretly coated the stairs with grease, leading to her husband falling down the stairs. When she drove him to the hospital, she pretended to lose her way and drove a few laps around the suburban area. In the end, her husband could never get his manhood up ever again because the treatment got delayed. "Her mother-in-law thought it was an accident. She was afraid that my childhood friend might abandon her husband, so she bought her a house and a car. You have no idea how much that mother-in-law sucked up to her! "Today is her husband's professor selection day. She even suggested to him that she'd drive him to the campus. But the truth is, she plans on pretending to lose her way in the traffic just to drag the time out so that I can replace him in the selection. "Once her husband fails the selection, she'll use the opportunity to convince him to resign from his job. He's already a loser, to begin with. Once he loses his job, she'll have a valid reason to divorce him once and for all." The familiar experience makes my heart skip a beat. Before I can ruminate about the details, I hear Anna's guilt-ridden voice drifting into my ear. "I think I'm lost, Claude. Surely you can make it to the selection on time, right?"

She gave him her heart and he crushed it to pieces. If chasing love was a crime, she'd spend countless years in jail. Haley gave her whole to William Nash, sacrificing everything she had, with his happiness her only goal. His indifference never bothered her, until one night, he told her the coldest words. “Haley Nash, don't overstep your limits. I'll never have children with you. Don't forget how you plotted to marry me in the first place!” To him, all her action was a pretentious lie. Stuck in his past relationship with his Ex, he'd rather be with a woman who resembled his Ex than cherish his wife. His betrayal was the last straw. Haley let go, gathering the broken pieces of her heart. However, When she disappeared from his life, his once vibrant home, boasting of love, turned into a graveyard, and a deep scar he never knew existed opened up in his heart. Damnit! Did he mess up?

“Sign it. We’re done. I want you out with your things before the end of the day.” That’s what Sebastian told Rylee when he came home after a business trip. In his arms was Maya Hastings—his first love who dumped him for being poor. Rylee gave up everything for this man and defied her parents, and it was all for nothing. Their relationship lasted only two years, and he threw her away like trash after everything she helped him with. She secretly supported him to build something for himself and made his business successful. Now, she had no choice but to return to her family home and marry the man her parents had arranged for her—Julian Gray, who treated her as if she were invisible. They were only getting married because of the agreement between their families. She didn’t expect to fall in love with him along the way.

They say the happiest moment in a Lycan’s life is when they finally meet their fated mate. But what happens when you reject your fated mate just to be with your chosen one—only to realize you made the biggest mistake of your life when the one you chose abandons you and picks someone else? That was exactly what happened to Amelia Blake. After discovering she was pregnant with the child of her boyfriend and chosen mate, Lucas West, she was cruelly rejected by him. Instead of staying by her side, he chose her stepsister, Olivia Blake. What Amelia didn’t know was that everything had been planned from the start by her stepsister and stepmother. They wanted Lucas—the Alpha of their The Crescent Moon Pack—for themselves. Ever since her mother died and her father left the empire, her stepmother had been slowly poisoning her, leading to the loss of her unborn child… and eventually, her own death. Before she drew her last breath, the truth was finally revealed to her. “Even with your dying breath, you’re still a fool, Amelia. You’re too kind, just like your mother. That’s why you’ll die without even putting up a fight.” With her final breath, she vowed she would seek vengeance. She swore she would make every single person who hurt, used, and belittled her pay the price. And when she opened her eyes again, she found herself back in the past one year before her death. There, she met again the fated mate she once rejected and decided she would use Lorcan Ashford—Lucas West step-brother, as her weapon in her revenge.

“You threw divorce papers in my face, humiliated me, and now you’re crawling back saying you love me?” Samantha laughed coldly, her voice dripping with venom. “Do I look like a fool to you, Nathan?” “I made a mistake,” he whispered brokenly. “Please, Samantha… don’t leave me. I still love you.” “Love?” she asked with a mocking smile, dragging a finger slowly down his chest. “You didn’t love me when you threw me out for someone richer. You just want me now… because you have nothing left.” ***** Samantha gave up everything for love—her family, her pride, her identity—just to please a man who saw her as nothing more than a disposable wife. After sacrificing everything for Nathan and his controlling family, all she got in return was betrayal, humiliation, and divorce. But Samantha had a secret. She wasn’t just a scorned ex-wife, she’s the hidden heiress of the most powerful conglomerate in America and she’s done playing nice. When she returns to the world she once left behind, she isn’t the meek woman begging for love anymore. She’s fierce, fearless, and filthy rich. And this time, she’s calling the shots.

On the streets of Milan, our nanny, Fiona, livestreamed my son’s limited-edition sneakers. A few days later, she shockingly transformed into my son’s stepmother. I overheard Anthony telling Fiona, “Once Francesca signs the divorce papers, all her assets will be ours.” Anthony was the man I had loved for ten years and had defied my family to marry. I took a step back, pretending to break down in tears, trembling as I told him I would give him anything as long as he didn’t go through with the divorce. What they didn’t know was that I had just dialed the number I hadn’t called in ten years. In a low voice, I said, “Father, the game is over. Your heiress, the principessa, is coming home.”

Demi Lockheart doesn't believe in love. Her whole life the one man she ever had contact with was her father. A man that treated her as if she was only a hinderance. Abused and feeling useless she would rather never fall in love. Scorned by love she doesn't give her heart to just one person. or any person truthfully. Shaped by her youth she grows up to be a in the entertainment industry, where she meets Porter. A man that was just enough to hide her wild ways, possibly taming her to be a respectable woman. Zaine was the only one that loved and accepted Demi as herself. By her side through it all. It hurt him when she left. He made decisions that weren't for the best, hindering his talent. Fast forward to her birthday party, surrounded by industry friends and her best friend, a gift that brings her past back to her present. Will the past finally win her heart? Will she go back to her wild ways and want it all? Or will she stick with the safe and unhappy path? Only time will tell. "How did it come to this? She looked in the mirror, seeing the grimace on her reflection. Her heart torn in pieces because of what happened. Victoria, her long-time friend came to pat her on the shoulders. There were no words that needed to be exchanged. The two of them had been friends since their elementary school days. They knew what the other was thinking without having to say it. Demi leaned her head against her shoulder staring at their reflection. A decision needed to be made. It had to be made but why was it so hard when all she really wanted to do was love and be loved in return."

In order to save her father and his company from going down, Kiara Smith was arranged to marry the new Alpha of the Reed Hunter Pack. She was happy with it as she assumed her groom to be Derren Vuron, her crush of 5 years to whom she could not confess due to a certain reason. But to her utter shock, the man who reached to marry her was his younger brother, Icarus, who she hated because he was the reason she couldn't be with Darren. At the night of their wedding, she threw a knife at him and said, "I will hate you forever and never forgive you for what you did." The man, instead, grabbed her neck and said, "You have only two options- live with me as my wife or die."

Leo Parker, my fiance, shoved me out the door with his own hands. He used me as bait to buy time for himself and my best friend, Jessica Thorne, to escape. I'd never forget him shutting the door. I'd never forget his last words through the narrow crack. "Thank you for your sacrifice, Chloe." When I open my eyes again, I'm back to the day before the zombie outbreak. Leo is gently urging me to hurry up and transfer 150 thousand dollars for the remodeling. It's the money we set aside for the home we plan to live in after we get married. In my past life, he set a trap and drained every cent of my savings. This time, I smile and agree. The only difference is that the 150 thousand dollars is going to build my doomsday bunker. And I'm also planning something special for them. After all, since I get a second chance at life, I should properly thank them for the "kindness" they showed me last time when they shoved me out to get torn apart by zombies.
