The Amazing Son-in-law

After my sister died, my parents forced me into a ten-year contract with my Alpha brother-in-law, Ethan Brooks. I became Luna in name only—and stepmother to his ten-year-old son, Daniel. At the Full Moon Festival, they placed on me my dead sister’s crown—her favorite. And in front of the entire pack, Daniel splashed holy water across my face, that cold smirk a mirror of his father’s. "Don’t think becoming Luna means you can replace my mother! You’re just a thief! What gives you the right to host our festival? You should strip naked and get out of me and Dad’s pack!" The holy water was ice-cold. And staring at the child I’d raised for ten years, all I felt was… relief. Fine. The agreement’s over—I’m leaving. But then why, after I walked away, are both Ethan and Daniel suddenly begging me to return?

La jeune héritière d'une famille prestigieuse, Léa Bernard, a défié l'avis de sa famille, a rompu tous les liens avec ses proches et a décidé d'épouser Alex Thomas, un homme célibataire mais déjà père d'un garçon et d'une fille, dont la carrière avait décliné. Ils se sont mariés depuis six ans, et elle a traité les enfants comme les siens tout en ayant soutenu son mari, contribuant à l'essor de sa carrière. Les enfants ont grandi sous ses soins attentifs et obéissants, et la société d'Alex a été introduite en bourse avec succès. Mais lors de la soirée de célébration marquant son accession au rang des élites, la mère biologique des deux enfants est apparue. Alex, habituellement si rationnel, a semblé perdre la raison en tentant de retenir cette femme, au point de ridiculiser Léa aux yeux de toute la ville ! Cette nuit-là, il n'est pas rentré, retrouvant son premier amour avec les enfants pour une réunion familiale. Plus tard, Alex a décidé de divorcer, « Merci pour toutes ces années, mais les enfants ont surtout besoin de leur mère biologique. » La femme a aussi dit : « Merci d'avoir pris soin de mes enfants ces dernières années, mais une belle-mère jamais à la hauteur d'une vraie mère. » L'affection que l'on donnait en élevant un enfant valait-elle moins que celle qui venait de la naissance ? Puisque c'était ainsi, alors elle ne serait plus belle-mère ! Contre toute attente, ces deux enfants ont refusé leur mère biologique et même leur père. Ils ont même déclaré : « Nous n'avons qu'une seule maman dans notre vie, Léa ! Même si vous divorcez et qu'elle se remarie, nous irons vivre avec elle ! »

Elise is once again zapped into another time and place, together with her brother and two friends—and this time, it is in Transylvania, wherein they meet the real Dracula. But this is not their only problem. They also have to face the Jinn, a powerful being that Dracula’s brother has procured by a warlock, and some strigoi—the origin of vampires… How can Elise and her gang be able to destroy their powerful enemies? Will they be able to return to their present time and place just like they did when they journeyed to the Land of Magic?

Je suis revenue à la vie. Cette fois, je n'ai plus empêché mon compagnon de ramener son amie d'enfance enceinte à la maison pour s'occuper d'elle. J'ai même proposé de rompre notre lien d'union, afin de lui laisser librement choisir Élise Richard, celle qu'il a toujours préférée. Je créais volontairement chaque occasion pour qu'ils soient seuls ensemble, tandis que je me retirais en silence. Tout cela parce que, dans ma vie précédente, au moment de mourir, Marc Sien m'en voulait encore d'avoir refusé que son amie d'enfance vienne habiter chez nous pour sa grossesse. Sur le chemin du départ, elle avait perdu son enfant et n'a plus jamais pu avoir d'enfant. Il m'avait dit que, quand je serais morte, il se mettrait avec Élise, qu'il prendrait soin d'elle et réparerait le tort qu'il lui avait causé. Alors, dans cette nouvelle vie, je ne m'y suis plus opposée. J'ai choisi de partir, pour les aider à combler leurs regrets… Mais pourquoi, après mon départ, Marc s'est-il mis à me chercher partout comme un fou, en suppliant mon retour ?

My six-year-old son, Zac Quest, deliberately fed me almond cake, which I was allergic to, to make me miscarry. Standing in front of the hospital bed, he hid behind my husband, Sterling Quest, with a long face and refused to admit his mistakes, "Grandma said you won't ever divorce Dad once you give birth to my sister. I don't want you as my mom anymore. I prefer Ms. White!" Sterling said indifferently, "We'll have other children. Winona... is indeed more fit to raise Zac than you." Hearing those words, I gave up completely. The day I was discharged from the hospital, I went back home and cleared out all my belongings. All I left behind was a divorce agreement and a letter disowning Zac.

I’d just wrapped up a short trip with my daughter, Elara. On the way back, I figured I’d swing by the Hale, our family’s casino, to check in on my son, Cassian. Maybe grab dinner together. I didn’t expect to be mistaken for his latest fling. Correction: not mistaken—accused. Violently. “You think you can just waltz in here like some queen?” she hissed. “I’m the woman Cassian loves! What kind of whore are you? And is this your bastard daughter with him?” She locked us in the basement. No phone. No light. Just concrete walls and the stench of mildew and madness. Then came the fists. She slapped me across the face—again and again—until my skin stung and my ears rang. When that didn’t satisfy her, she pulled a gun and aimed low. The bullet tore through my knee. I bit back a scream, shielding Elara with my body. “You need to die, whore,” she spat. One of her men hesitated, “We should at least tell Mr. Hale first. If we are going to kill these two in his casino.” Lila of course said no. But that man brought Cassian anyway. My son stepped into this dark little room like it was any other Tuesday—until he saw me. His whole body went still. The blood drained from his face. And then, in the smallest, most broken voice I’d ever heard from him, he whispered, “Mom? What are you doing in my basement?”

I discovered two things after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. I was first on what appeared to be a fake marriage certificate with Julian Fitzgerald. I had raised my son for six years, and he was already aware of it. In fact, he wanted his mother to be someone else. It was then that I realised my life was just a hoax. Seven years of not being in touch with my family, keeping myself solitary and making sacrifices but it was all just plain cruel. So, I did three things. The husband and son who had betrayed me, I went missing. In preparation for our seventh wedding anniversary, I called off the romantic dinner reservation made a month ago. Besides my participation in several health-related group discussions, I also left my son's kindergarten parent groups. These groups were all designed to improve the well-being of my husband and son. My second action was to contact my physician and request a stress evaluation. I requested a special prescription to prevent any complications that might arise during my international travel. The third person I contacted was my older sister, whom she had not been in touch with for seven years. My words were, "To marry in a place where I don't belong to my family is just miserable."

Josh, a university student, had known nothing but the harsh embrace of poverty throughout his entire life. Each day, he endured the relentless scorn and derogation from those around him. One day things took a turn for the worst, when he lost his job and his  girlfriend also betrayed him the same day. Josh's heart was shattered into a million pieces, leaving him in a deep state of hopelessness and sadness. Just when he thought things were only going to get worse for him, a sudden revelation changes his life for the better.

I slaved away for my husband and son. But what did I get in return? Cold shoulders, cutting words, and distance. Then one day, my husband suggested a “fake divorce” so my stepsister could adopt a child. Fine. Fake divorce it is. Except… if it’s just fake, why are the two of them heating up the sheets behind my back? Then, Fake divorce just turned real. My ex-husband thought I’d beg to come back. My stepsister thought I’d envy her for stealing my husband and son. They both thought I’d shatter. Wrong. I’ve got my career, my revenge, and oh—did I mention? I’m dating a drop-dead gorgeous man who actually knows my worth. And suddenly, life tasted sweeter than I ever imagined.
