Two Minute Mysteries

When my husband is away on a business trip, I'm left at home with my brother-in-law. One night, he hands me a glass of milk that's been laced. Then, he violates me…

The day before yesterday, my best friend invited me to a date at a bar. I later end up sleeping with a younger man. I never would've expected him to be my son's classmate, though…

On the day we're supposed to register our marriage, my girlfriend Jenny Sutton has me removed from the city hall. She walks in with her childhood sweetheart, Ronald Walsh. She looks at me without a flicker of guilt and says, "Ronald's kid needs his legal status sorted out. Once we divorce, I'll marry you." Everyone assumes I'll wait. I'm the devoted fool who's already waited seven years, so one more month seems trivial. That night, I went along with my family's plan and left the country for a marriage of convenience. I cut myself cleanly out of Jenny's life. Three years later, I return to the country with my wife, Ellie Olsen, who's a CEO, to pay respects at her family's graves. A last-minute issue pulls her away, and she asks the local branch to send someone to pick me up. I didn't expect Jenny, not after three years. "You have dragged this out long enough. Come back. Ronald's kid will be starting kindergarten soon. You can handle the school runs."

"I, Scarlett Monica Hathaway, promise to be nothing but everything to you, and if it is a loving wife you ask for, then a loving wife, I shall be..." Scarlett's life felt like a dream on a random frigid Friday night. It was intended to be a night she spent under her covers, in her warm bed, after getting ditched by her friends at a club she had utterly invited them to. But one minute Scarlett is fleeing a pervert at the clubhouse, and the next minute she's learning about a confusingly cryptic secret, and the next minute she's making a promise that was being dangerously sealed.

That day, my parents and sister who were all working abroad suddenly told me that I was a second-generation rich with trillions of dollars in wealth!Gerald Crawford: I am a second-generation rich?

« Tu ne sais pas ce que tu me fais, Theodota », murmura-t-il, la voix rauque. Mon souffle se bloqua dans ma gorge tandis que ses dents mordillaient doucement ma nuque, puis ma gorge. Je gémis. Mon centre palpitait à la façon dont mon nom roulait sur sa langue comme une adoration. Comme une prière. Comme s'il voulait m'avoir là, à cet instant précis. Il embrassa doucement ma clavicule, et des étincelles jaillirent à travers mon corps. Cela brûlait, de me tenir là et de le désirer. S’il me repoussait contre le mur, que la déesse m'aide, je ne l'arrêterais pas. « Alors montre-le-moi », chuchotai-je. « Montre-moi comment je t'affecte. » Une supplique se fraya un chemin dans ma voix. Je ne pensais même plus clairement. Sa respiration s'accéléra d'un cran, lourde et prometteuse. Cela me faisait l'anticiper encore plus. Au diable la fête de fiançailles. Son visage était tendu et douloureux, alors que ses yeux rencontraient les miens à nouveau. « Je ne peux pas. » Deux mots, et mon estomac se serra. Mais je ne le lâchai pas. Je m'accrochai à son bras, mes jambes devenant un peu faibles. Mon cœur se crispa. « Pourquoi ? » chuchotai-je. « Nous appartenons à des mondes différents, Theodota », dit-il, et il me tourna le dos. Portant la douleur de la trahison et le souvenir du sang, elle jure de ne plus jamais être l'Oméga soumise et obéissante qu'elle était autrefois. Le destin, encore une fois, lui réserve son tour le plus cruel. Au moment où sa vengeance s'allume, elle découvre quelque chose d'inattendu... Avec quelque chose de plus grand que l'amour et le lien de compagnon jeté dans la mêlée, les âmes sœurs survivront-elles ?
