Swap Sans

My sister-in-law and I have always been close, and we happened to be pregnant at the same time. However, during a routine check-up, she was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. I urged her to have surgery as soon as possible, but she refused and instead claimed her sallow complexion was a sign she was carrying a "child of fortune." She then retreated to the countryside to rest and nurture her pregnancy. Nine months later, while I grieved the loss of my stillborn child, she came back from the countryside with a baby girl in her arms. Consumed by the suspicion that the child was rightfully mine, I demanded a DNA test. That same night, my own mother and brother conspired to take my life. After my death, I discovered it was all a conspiracy. My family had orchestrated everything to swap my child for hers. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back to the moment before I took her for that fateful check-up.

After I came back to life, the first thing I did was hand that five-carat diamond ring—yes, the one my husband gave me—to his mother. The very woman who spent years picking me apart like it was her favorite pastime. In my last life, that ring was a custom New Year's gift. He paid a ridiculous amount for it. I actually thought it meant something. One afternoon, I was out shopping when I walked right into a bridal party taking pictures. The bride glanced at my hand, saw the ring, and her entire expression changed. She stormed over and slapped me, accusing me of being a shameless mistress trying to steal her man. I stood there, completely stunned. She was wearing the exact same ring. Before I could explain, her friends grabbed me. They dragged me aside, tore my clothes, hit me, and stomped on my hand until I couldn't move my fingers. They carved the word "mistress" into my face and paraded me through the street like some kind of public disgrace. I died there on the pavement. When my husband finally appeared, he didn't fight for me. He just signed off on a settlement, as if my life were nothing more than a piece of paperwork. Widowed that morning, married to the bride by nightfall. His mother instantly welcomed the new woman, all because she was pregnant. And then I opened my eyes again… back on the very day he first placed that diamond ring in my hand.

I get sent away to the countryside because my parents fear that I'll use my privileged background to lord over others. In turn, they're taking in Tina from that family to the city for her upbringing and schooling. In the countryside, I get up at 4:00 am daily to feed the pigs, then it's a grueling three-hour trek through the mountains to school. I'm also barely surviving due to constant malnutrition. I reach out to my parents for a mere 300 dollars for tuition, only for them to accuse me of spending recklessly. In the meantime, they're donating an entire building just to secure a spot for Tina at her preferred school. I finally make it into Tina's high school and earn a guaranteed university admission spot, only for my parents to order me to hand it over to her as they unleash their fury on me, yelling, "You're clearly bad to the bone, always trying to take things that belong to Tina." "Tina almost gave up on life because of what you did. You're indebted to her for the rest of your life." They, using their parental rights, forfeit my guaranteed university admission spot to fulfill Tina's wish. They then transfer all company shares and real estate to her for her future security, while the whole family makes arrangements to move abroad together. I take in everything before me, no longer feeling hurt. I calmly pack my belongings and walk away from the place where I don't belong.

The night before our wedding, Jason Scott receives the cancer diagnosis of my adopted younger sister, Helena Sanderson. His expression falters, and he says indignantly, "We'll cancel the wedding tomorrow, Victoria. Helena is very fragile now. I can't risk upsetting her at this point in time." I reply, "I don't agree with it! Why would my wedding upset her?" Jason doesn't show any displeasure after my rejection. He even thoughtfully prepares a glass of milk for me. … When I wake up the next morning, I realize the house that should be full of excitement is eerily quiet. Anxious, I dial Jason's number 99 times. He only picks up the call on my 100th try. "Where did my wedding dress and shoes go?" I ask. Jason falls silent for a moment. His tone is apologetic when he replies, "I'm sorry, Victoria. Helena wants to experience being a bride once. I can't let her leave with regrets. Please bear with this for now. I'll make it up to you once she passes away peacefully." As the line goes dead, I sit frozen on the bed, unable to recover for some time. … A month later, while Jason is on his honeymoon, I send the livestream of my wedding announcement with his rival, Frank Lawrent, directly onto his phone. Jason regrets it bitterly.

Heads up! This story includes mature themes, strong language, and steamy scenes. Readers discretion is advised. Warm lips pressed against the sensitive skin of my neck, just below my ear, sending waves of shock down my spine. “After promising me a hot fuck, you decided to ditch me, huh Clara?” a low, male voice murmured into my hair as his hands slid down, palms flattening against my stomach, pulling me flush against a hard, solid body. I wanted to push him away, probably punch him in the face also but I'm Clara. He thinks I'm her and I have to be her. I took a deep breath, a wide smile on my face as I turned in his arms, finally looking at him. To my surprise, he was handsome, dark hair, strong jawline and I could see the confidence in his eyes. He knew Clara...maybe intimately. "I thought she has Jeremy, does she just fuck around now", I thought. “I got held up, I'm sorry,” I managed, forcing Clara’s sly smile onto my face, praying it looked convincing. “Uh-huh,” he said, his voice a low rumble. He didn’t believe me, but he didn’t care. His hand came up, his thumb brushing my lower lip. “You owe me, Clara. Big time.” ****************************************** Jenna has always had the perfect life, Her mate, Damon...the Alpha of the pack who accepted her, a pack that wanted her as their Luna.....

Ava Summers always thought the man she would marry would be her loving, one-and-only boyfriend, Cole Parker. But that dream shattered the moment her father announced she’d be marrying the cold and emotionless Devlin Frost… in her twin sister’s place. Desperate to escape her fate, she ran to Cole… only to have her heart broken into pieces. Humiliated, heartbroken, and with nowhere left to run, Ava finally gave in and agreed to the marriage. Then came the second blow; she wouldn’t be walking down the aisle as Ava Summers, but as Eva Summers. That meant she’d have to fool everyone, including Devlin Frost himself. Then came the third blow; Devlin Frost wasn’t just blind… he was also crippled. And then came the final blow… one she never saw coming. Now what could it possibly be? Go on... take a wild guess.

J’aurais dû être la future Alpha Femelle de la Meute du Nord, mais mon compagnon, l’Alpha Roi Adam Bertrand, m’a demandé d’y renoncer. Il insistait pour que je reste collée à lui jour et nuit, affirmant qu’il ne survivrait pas sans le contact de sa compagne. Je l’aimais si profondément que j’ai accepté. Pendant sept ans, j’ai été à la fois sa parfaite Luna et une Bêta compétente, renforçant sa meute jour après jour. Je pensais que tout en valait la peine, tout le monde savait qu’Adam m’aimait à en mourir. Comme j’ai du mal à dormir, il a dépensé 10 millions de dollars pour acheter du précieux « thé de la lune » auprès d’une sorcière afin que je puisse enfin trouver le repos. Mais ils ignorent que, chaque nuit, dès que je m’endors, Adam amène Sarah—l’oméga de notre cuisine—dans notre lit. Le même loup qui m’appelait « Petite lune » la prenait juste à côté de mon corps inconscient. Le jour où le médecin m’a annoncé que j’attendais des jumeaux, j’ai tout découvert. J’ai retenu la brûlure dans mon cœur et ma poitrine, et d’un regard fatigué, j’ai murmuré à la Déesse de la Lune : « Déesse, je veux quitter ce monde. » « Es-tu prête à tout abandonner, mon enfant ? » J’ai doucement caressé mon ventre avant d’acquiescer fermement. La déesse a poussé un soupir et a dit : « Dans trois jours, je viendrai te chercher. »

Cinq ans après leur mariage, Sorrel a évoqué pour la troisième fois son projet d’emmener Héloïse, sa maîtresse, vivre à l’étranger. Maeva a posé les plats qu’elle avait soigneusement préparés, et, lui a demandé d’une voix calme : « Pourquoi veux-tu partir avec elle ? » Sorrel lui a répondu sans détour : « Je ne veux plus te cacher la vérité. Loïse habite à côté, dans le quartier d’en face. Elle m’a accompagné pendant neuf ans. Je lui dois beaucoup. Et cette fois, il faut qu’elle vienne avec nous à l’étranger. » Maeva n’a pas pleuré cette fois. Elle a simplement réservé un billet pour Héloïse. Sorrel a cru qu’elle avait enfin accepté la situation. Le jour du départ, après avoir vu Sorrel et Héloïse embarquer, Maeva a pris un vol pour rejoindre ses parents.

Après avoir été poussée dans les escaliers par la première amour de mon mari, j'ai fait une fausse couche lors de ma seconde grossesse et je suis morte dans un coin d'escalier de l'hôpital privé du Groupe Thomas. Avant de mourir, mon fils de six ans a supplié son père en larmes de me sauver. La première fois, Andrew a seulement ricané : « Ta mère est devenue maligne, elle utilise son enfant pour faire semblant d'être pitoyable et tromper les autres. » Après ces mots, il a repoussé la main de notre fils et il est parti sans aucune pitié. La deuxième fois, notre fils a dit que je saignais sans arrêt. Andrew, avec un air agacé, a répondu : « Quelle exagération ! Ce n'est qu'une fausse couche, rien de grave. Elle est toujours aussi dramatique ! » Après avoir chassé son fils, il a même ordonné aux médecins de ne laisser personne s'occuper de moi. « C'est de ma faute si je l'ai trop gâtée. Tant qu'elle ne souffre pas un peu, elle ne comprendra pas ses erreurs. » La dernière fois, notre fils s'est agenouillé devant la première amour de son père en la suppliant avec désespoir. Andrew est entré dans une rage folle et a ordonné à ses gardes du corps de jeter notre fils blessé hors de la chambre, en le laissant aux moqueries des autres. « Si tu oses encore déranger le repos d'Émilie, je ferai immédiatement expulser ta mère de la famille des Thomas. Elle ne te reverra plus jamais ! » Mon fils a rampé de toutes ses forces jusqu'à moi, traînant une longue traînée de sang derrière lui. Andrew, cette fois, tu as obtenu ce que tu voulais. Nos corps à mon fils et à moi sont devenus froids, et jamais plus nous ne te reverrons.

Le premier amour de mon mari a été brûlée par de l'eau bouillante, et pour me punir, il m'a enfermée dans un cuiseur à vapeur à mi-hauteur, avec le feu réglé au maximum. « Tu dois subir mille fois la douleur que Pauline a endurée ! » J'étais enfermée dans cet espace étroit, je respirais difficilement, mon corps brûlait, et je lui ai crié en pleurant : « Je vais vraiment mourir ! » Mais il est parti sans se retourner, tenant son premier amour dans ses bras. « Ne t'inquiète pas, tu ne mourras pas. C'est la seule façon pour toi de comprendre la souffrance de Pauline ! » J'ai hurlé de désespoir dans le cuiseur, l'eau bouillante sous le panier s'est mise à éclabousser mon corps, et ma voix s'est peu à peu éteinte. Il est tout de suite parti en voyage à l'étranger avec son premier amour, et ce n'était qu'une semaine plus tard, en rentrant, qu'il s'est soudain souvenu de moi. « Cette garce a sûrement compris sa faute, sortez-la de là ! » Mais il ne savait pas que, dans le cuiseur arrêté par le manque d'eau, mon cadavre était déjà couvert de vers.
