The Beta’s Regret

I am diagnosed with severe systemic lupus erythematosus, and I only have three days left to live. When my husband rejects my 188th plea for help, I take my test results and enter the hospice care center. "Hello, I'd like to schedule my own cremation process and apply for government aid." Ten minutes later, they arrive. Before I can speak, my lawyer husband, Jasper Horton, coldly slaps me across the face. "You're faking a terminal illness just to steal attention from Janice?" My doctor brother, Casey Carter, snatches the medical report from my hand and scoffs at it. "Lupus? If you're going to fake being sick, at least make it believable. Only one in a million people gets this." I endure the pain in my body, return to the counter, and hand in the application form and my medical records once more. The staff member sees the butterfly-shaped rash on my wrist and sympathizes with me. "I have no family left," I say. "I'm requesting cremation in three days, location doesn't matter. I just don't want my death to burden anyone."

Aleena always dreamt of having someone like Alpha Daniel as her mate, hearing all his heroic activities. Before she would have realized her admiration and like toward Alpha Daniel turned into an obsession, and she wanted to be nothing but his Luna. And to make the situation worst, her mother kept initiating her to do all the wrong deeds to achieve her dreamt instead of teaching her right. But her dreams were shattered when he found his mate, who was no other than her own half-sister, whom she hated all over her life. Losing her dream guy to someone whom she considered below her shoes was not less than hurting her ego. All she knew was that Alpha Daniel was hers, and she would claim him by going beyond any limits, whether it included playing with other people's emotions and trust. She would do it. But she had forgotten that Karma was , and she would reap what she had sown.

“You will do as told. After all, you pushed her down the stairs and she is in there because of you. Donating this bone is the price you have to pay.” “But why, Liam.” Her voice sounded broken. “Why did you never believe me? I didn't touch Sophia.” “And how is that my business?” He hissed and grabbed her arm. “For someone who stole another person’s life, you sure do have some mouth on you.” He pushed her roughly into the moving elevator. “Please Liam… believe me.” “Shut the fuck up!” He hissed. “You’re a filthy liar and I’ll never believe a word that comes out from you. Now, move!” *** Three years ago Charlotte Windsor was framed for a crime she didn’t commit. She was thrown into jail by her ex-husband and her entire life went down the drain. Now, three years later, she is freed but an even worse fate awaits her. Will she let her nemesis trample over her again? Or will she fight back? Let’s find out.

Liam n’a jamais su aimer Élise comme elle le méritait. Aveuglé par son orgueil et ses désirs égoïstes, il l’a laissée partir sans un regard en arrière, après trois ans de mariage , convaincu de courir vers celle qu’il croyait vouloir, ignorant que son cœur appartenait déjà à la femme qu’il venait de perdre. Mais le destin a joué son tour cruel : Élise, victime d’un terrible accident, se réveille amnésique , son esprit effacé, ses souvenirs disparus, et avec eux, toute trace de l’homme qui l’a trahie. Dans ce vide, un homme apparaît l’homme le plus riche et le plus influent du pays. Il prétend être son mari, et dans son état de confusion, Elise le croit, fascinée et intriguée par l’assurance et le pouvoir qu’il dégage. Peu à peu, elle découvre en elle une force nouvelle, un pouvoir et une indépendance qu’elle n’avait jamais imaginés, bien au-delà de ce que Liam aurait pu entrevoir. Lorsque Liam croise à nouveau son chemin, il est incapable de détourner le regard. Devant elle, il ne reconnaît plus la femme fragile qu’il a laissée derrière lui. Elle est plus puissante, plus confiante, presque intouchable, et sa beauté mêlée à son aura de pouvoir le fait vaciller. Pour la première fois, c’est lui qui souffre, réduit au silence par le charisme et la force de celle qu’il a autrefois rejetée. C’est l’histoire de regrets amers et de silences brisés, d’un amour perdu qu’on ne peut jamais retrouver et d’une femme qui renaît de ses cendres, plus forte, plus déterminée, et prête à ne plus jamais se laisser posséder par quiconque.

In the seventh year of my relationship with Ruby Carrington, she picks me up from work in the heavy downpour one evening. When I open the door to the front passenger seat, I notice a puddle of water on the seat. A strand of short hair is there as well. Ruby grips the steering wheel without even looking at me. "I just dropped off an intern from the project department at his home. He didn't bring an umbrella with him, so he was drenched." As I sit on the damp seat, I feel my heart slowly going cold as well. "Ruby, you knew very well that I'm severely germaphobic." Ruby just chortles in response. Her tone is filled with impatience and exhaustion. "It's just a seat, isn't it? He's younger and funnier than you, not to mention he's also more handsome than you even when he's drenched in the rain. "I tried having a relationship with him. Being with him is definitely a lot more interesting than with you. But I'll still marry you, though. As long as you pretend not to know anything about my affair, we can keep this relationship going." Rain continues streaking down the window outside, and yet, I find the air inside the car even more suffocating than the rain itself.

"I could've told you about the child when we were still married, but I'd rather see you fall on your knees like how I used to beg for the love I deserve."

In the seventh year of dating Lorenzo Townsend, he still didn't want to marry me. One day, I said to him, "Lorenzo, I'm getting married." He frowned slightly, not even sure if he heard me right. "The company is going public, and we're swamped. This is not the time to discuss such an insignificant topic," he said. I smiled calmly. Maybe to him, it seemed like I was pushing him to marry me. But the truth was, I was getting married, but not to him.
