Two Truths

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 go along with my family's plan and leave 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."

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…

On the same day we were registering our marriage, my boyfriend, Levi Salfolk, had someone throw me out of the clerk's office while he led his childhood sweetheart inside. He looked at me nonchalantly. "Rosalie's child can't be illegitimate. I'll marry you once we get divorced." Everyone thought that the lovestruck me would wait for him for another month. After all, I had already waited for him for seven years. However, I went overseas that night, accepting the arranged marriage my family had set up for me and disappearing from his world. Three years later, I accompanied my husband back home to pay our respects to his ancestors. Something came up, and my husband sent someone from the local branch office to pick me up. Unexpectedly, I met Levi, whom I had not seen since I left. "Enough with the fooling around. Come back. Rosalie's child is starting preschool soon. You're in charge of picking up and dropping off the child."

My mother was dying. Her only wish before she passed was to see me married. For 27 days, I begged my girlfriend, Monica Teller, and she finally agreed to register for marriage with me on the 27th day. I waited at the courthouse until closing, but she never came. That same day, her childhood sweetheart, Gurney Barnes, posted their marriage certificate on social media. [Time sure flies. Three more days, and we'll have been married for a month.] It was then I finally realized that she had married her childhood sweetheart since the first day I started begging her. Not long after, an apology text from Monica buzzed on my phone. [I'm so sorry, Lincoln. Gurney's family was forcing him into marriage. I couldn't stand by and watch him get shackled to a stranger. Just give it three days. We'll file for divorce. Three days later, I'll marry you." Three days later, she showed up at the courthouse in a wedding gown, But the only thing waiting for her was my message. [Goodbye, Monica. May we never meet again.]

I'm a dance major who's preparing for her exams. Everyone thinks I'm a good girl, but there's one thing they don't know about me—I've fantasized about being violated more than once…

I crave excitement in my life. To do that, I send my deskmate a video of me pleasing myself with a toy. Bit by bit, it awakens his desires…

A business trip took an unexpected turn when our plane ran into disaster. While everyone else was penning their last words, I, an orphan with nothing to lose, decided to have a little fun with my miserly boss. “Boss, let’s keep this short—I like you.” “I really, really like you.” “Boss, this is a final goodbye.” Just when all hope seemed lost, the captain pulled off a miracle with his years of experience, saving us from the brink of catastrophe. By the time we landed safely, I was still in a daze until I saw my boss, eyes bloodshot, storming toward me, flanked by a wall of black-suited bodyguards.

I had just become an adult when my neighbor, Connor Grayson, started flirting with me. We kept our relationship a secret year after year. After a wild night of intimacy, Connor whispered into my ear that he loved me over and over again. The next morning, I could barely stand as I got out of bed. Then I saw Connor bring another woman home. "Selena, this is my fiancée. We're getting married." I thought Connor would let me go. I didn't want to ruin anyone's relationship. However, he wouldn't leave me alone despite my shameful predicament. "Yes, I'm getting married, but did I say you could go? It took a lot of effort to make you fall for me."

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 ?
