Top Ten Contemporary

"I didn't do anything wrong," I choked out. "You stuck your nose into my private matters," he hissed. "No one can sentence me without proof," I challenged him. He straightened up. Any traces of a smile abruptly disappeared from his face. "You still don't get it, do you? I own this city. It means that if I say you go to jail, that means you go to jail." He leaned over me again, his stare piercing right through me, "And if I say that I want you, that means you are already mine." My jaw tensed as I resisted an urge to talk back. This wasn't a battle I could win, and this wasn't a man I could win against... How did I get myself into all that mess?! *** My name is Cora Bell, and I'm about to marry Aren Lan, New York's most wanted bachelor. A dream come true? I highly doubt that. The guy is an arrogant, wealthy beyond imagination, asshole. Not to mention that our relationship is based solely on a contract, a contract I was forced to sign when I accidentally ruined this guy's engagement... I used to dream of a simple life. I wanted to graduate from university and work as a software programmer, but my fate chose a different path for me to follow. First, I had to give up on my studies to take care of dear Grandma, and now I'm forced to play the role of a manipulative jerk's loving fiancée! The problem is that my husband-to-be is insanely sexy and enjoys teasing me a bit too much. How the hell am I going to survive being close to him throughout the two years of our fake marriage?!

On the day of my marking ceremony, my mate, Alex Burke, and my sister, Rose Roth, are caught mating in the dressing room. This renders me the laughingstock of the entire pack. While I'm drowning in humiliation, the Alpha, Nate Hyland, steps forward and marks me in front of everyone! After we get married, Nate treats me exceptionally well. However, we're never able to conceive a pup. Eventually, I turn to IVF and finally get pregnant. Nate becomes even more attentive to me. He even calls me "Darling" in his sleep. I think this is a blessing from the Moon Goddess. This continues until I hear the conversation between Nate and his Beta one day. "How could you, Nate? Luna Diana adores you and cares for you so much. But just because Rose is scared of pain and doesn't want to go through pregnancy, you secretly switched their eggs and made Luna Diana carry her child? The pup is due in two months! What are you going to do about this?" Nate goes silent for a moment. Then, he sighs softly and replies, "When the pup is born, I'll hand him to Rose and let her live out her dream of being a mother. I'll tell Diana the pup was stillborn. She's just an abandoned Omega. Staying with her for life is compensation enough." So all the love and tenderness he showed me is fake. I immediately schedule an abortion, as I don't want this filthy pup. And I am certainly not holding on to this sham of a marriage either. I may be an Omega, but I am no one's pawn.

Setelah berhasil mendaftar program Dokter Lintas Batas, aku menyerahkan jabatan direktur rumah sakit kepada Jihan. Sahabatku merasa kasihan padaku dan berkata, "Kalau kamu pergi, kamu sendiri yang sepenuhnya memutuskan hubunganmu dengan Ardha." Aku tersenyum lembut. "Aku cuma mengembalikannya kepada orang yang dia dambakan." Di kehidupan sebelumnya, Ardha dan aku adalah pasangan yang terkenal sering berselisih. Dia membenciku karena aku menolak menggantikan posisi Jihan menjadi Dokter Lintas Batas, yang mengakibatkan Jihan terinfeksi virus di tengah perang dan meninggal. Aku benci kemunafikan dan kekonyolannya. Kalau memang dia mencintai Jihan, kenapa dia berjanji kepada orang tuaku bahwa dia akan menjagaku seumur hidupku? Selama tujuh tahun pernikahan kami, doa terindah yang kami ucapkan kepada satu sama lain adalah, "Semoga kamu mati sengsara." Tapi, di tengah hujan peluru medan perang, dia tertembak di jantung, menggunakan napas terakhirnya untuk melindungiku dengan tubuhnya. "Aku sudah mengatur seseorang untuk menjemputmu. Begitu serangan udara ini selesai, cepat pergi. Kamu harus selamat ...." Di tengah kesadarannya yang kabur, dia bergumam. "Aku akan melindungimu di kehidupan ini. Semoga kita nggak ketemu lagi di kehidupan selanjutnya." "Jihan, aku datang." Sayangnya, serangan bom yang dijatuhkan dari langit tidak memberiku kesempatan untuk melarikan diri dan akhirnya menelan kami berdua. Saat aku membuka mata lagi, aku mendapati diriku kembali ke malam sebelum pernikahan kami. Ardha, di kehidupan ini, aku akan mengabulkan keinginanmu.

Eu fui enviada ao interior para auxiliar nas escolas rurais e trabalhar no campo durante as épocas mais pesadas de plantio. Buscando alguma emoção, acabei pondo os olhos num bruto de corpo forte. Numa noite silenciosa, subi pela janela e mergulhei no cobertor impregnado do cheiro dele, puro hormônio. — Matheus, deixa que eu te ajudo... Ele segurou minha cintura e me empurrou com força. — Foi você que procurou isso. Além de trabalhar na roça, o que eu mais fazia era montar na cintura de Matheus e rebolar sem vergonha. Enroscados na montanha, incendiados na vida rural. Nos cantos mais afastados da aldeia, sempre sobravam marcas da nossa paixão.

On the fifth year of their marriage, finding the vitamin C her husband bought tasted too bitter, Jeanne Dotson went to the hospital with the bottle. The doctor took one look and frowned. "This isn't vitamin C." "I-I'm sorry, Doctor?" "I could say it a dozen times and it'd still be the same," the doctor replied, pointing at the bottle. "This is Mifepristone. Taking too much of it doesn't just cause infertility—it can do serious harm to your body." Jeanne felt a lump stuck in her throat, and her fingers turned pale from clenching the bottle. "That's impossible. My husband got this for me. His name is Darren Walsh—he's a doctor here too." The doctor looked up at her, his expression turning strange, tinged with something she couldn't quite read. After a pause, he gave a small smile. "Miss, you might want to visit the psych ward instead. We all know Dr. Walsh's wife—she gave birth just two months ago. Don't let your imagination run wild, all right? There's no point."
