After my eight-year-old twin sister was kidnapped, my dad became the person who wished for my death more than anyone else in the world. He would always say, "Zachary is an ungrateful brat! A good-for-nothing!" So, when the news of my disappearance reached the school, my dad leads everyone in cheers. He even spreads word of my misdeeds everywhere. "Zachary stole a poor student's tuition fees and even made a false police report accusing the teacher of hitting him!" "That's right! He even helped traffickers kidnap children—his own sister was almost sold by him! I hope he dies soon!" Five years later, my memories are extracted and projected onto a large display screen. And yet my dad, who hates me to the core and wishes for my death, falls to his knees and begs for my forgiveness the moment he learns of my death.

Katherine Harrison swore one night with Dorian would be nothing more than a reckless mistake. A secret to bury. But when her father drags her into a summer of forced family bonding with her new stepmother, Katherine finds herself under the same roof as the one man she can’t stand and can’t stop craving. Dorian lives to provoke her. Every smirk, every filthy word, every brush of his body against hers feels like a dare she’s seconds away from losing. He knows exactly how to get under her skin, and the line between hate and desire blurs more with every stolen glance. She tells herself to ignore him. To remember he’s off-limits. To keep her distance. But Dorian has other plans…plans that could expose their darkest secret and burn their world to the ground. This summer, Katherine will have to decide, fight the fire or let it consume her whole.

The day I found out I was pregnant with my second child, the impossible happened: the baby in my womb spoke. "Stupid sister, are you even listening? Mom said that as soon as you graduate, she's selling you off. That money is for my future wedding!" My daughter went still. She didn't say a word, didn't confront me, didn't even cry. She just quietly applied to study abroad. And from that day on, I never heard from her again. My husband, seeing how devastated I was, moved to comfort me. But the baby's voice cut through the silence once more. "Comfort her? You're the biggest fool in this house! When I'm born, I'm not calling you 'Dad.' My real dad is that handsome guy from the bar!" The color drained from Sean's face. Before I could utter a word of explanation, he dragged me straight to the hospital for a paternity test. The results came back quickly—my best friend had pulled some strings to expedite them. And there it was, in cold, clinical print: NO PATERNITY BIOLOGICALLY ESTABLISHED. He didn't let me speak. He filed for divorce immediately. In a panic, the baby's voice cried out from inside me again, "Why is the idiot backing out now? Did he finally figure out Mom tricked him? The one who saved his life all those years ago wasn't her—it was her best friend!" That one sentence shattered my entire world. My husband turned his back on me and married my best friend. As for me… the shock and grief hit me like a physical blow. I felt a hot, sudden gush of blood. Before the doctors could save me, I died on that cold hospital bed, my hands clutching my swollen belly, my mind still reeling, unable to comprehend how my life had unraveled so completely. It wasn't until I was reborn, and once again heard the treacherous little voice inside me, that I finally began to understand the truth.

Mi prometido, Victor Blackwood, es el Don de la mafia que controla el bajo mundo de todo el país con mano de hierro. Para los demás, él es la personificación del poder. Pero para mí… era el amor hecho hombre. Nunca imaginé el precio de amar a un hombre como él. En el Día de San Valentín preparé sus comidas favoritas y lo esperé en casa. Sin embargo, las horas pasaron, el vino se enfrió… y su silla seguía vacía. Con un mal presentimiento, abrí la red social de Queenie Stone, su «hermana adoptiva», quien había publicado: «Solo bastó que le dijera que me sentía sola… para que viniera enseguida. Incluso, aunque derramé vino sobre él, no se enojó. Victor siempre ha sido así… La familia para él es lo primero, aunque eso signifique dejar a su novia esperando. Nunca me falla. Ojalá nada cambie». En la foto, la camisa de Victor estaba empapada a la altura de la cintura, y el pañuelo de Queenie descansaba de manera peligrosa cerca de su entrepierna… Él ni siquiera se había apartado… sino que solo la miraba con ternura. No hice ningún escándalo. Solo le di «me gusta» a su publicación y luego le envié un simple mensaje: «Terminamos.» Pero como siempre… lo ignoró. Después supe que, al ver mi mensaje, él se limitó a comentar: —Vivienne no puede vivir sin mí. Solo está haciendo un berrinche. Si la ignoro un par de días, volverá arrastrándose. Es fácil de contentar. Lo que él no sabía… era que yo solo era fácil porque lo amaba. Pero ahora que decidí irme, no hay vuelta atrás… No importa lo que haga.

Je n'avais pas vu mon mari mafieux, Lucien Moreau, ni notre fille Théa depuis trois longs mois. Pourquoi ? Parce que sa mère, Fiona, avait décrété que Théa devait rester « un petit moment » chez elle. Et Lucien ? Comme toujours, il est « trop occupé par les affaires ». Alors quand Lucien a enfin appelé pour me dire qu'il venait me chercher pour une réunion de famille à la villa, j'étais folle de joie. J'ai cru que, peut-être, juste peut-être, j'allais enfin pouvoir serrer ma petite fille dans mes bras. J'ai passé la foutue journée à courir dans la ville, achetant ses poupées préférées, des friandises, une nouvelle robe rose, tout ce qui, selon moi, pourrait lui redonner le sourire quand elle me verrait. Mais quand la voiture est arrivée, rien ne s'est passé comme je l'avais imaginé. Avant même que je puisse dire bonjour, Théa a détourné la tête, m'a jeté un simple regard… et a resserré encore plus fort ses bras autour de Maria, la domestique. Elle a enfoui son visage dans son cou comme si je n'existais pas là. Comme si Maria était sa mère. J'ai essayé de m'approcher d'elle, mais Théa m'a carrément dit qu'elle ne voulait pas monter dans la même voiture que moi. Et Maria, avec son sourire poli mais faux, n'arrêtait pas de me répéter doucement qu'il fallait laisser un peu plus de temps à Théa. J'ai levé les yeux vers Lucien, espérant qu'il dise quelque chose. Au lieu de ça, il avait l'air agacé, comme si tout ça l'ennuyait trop pour lever le petit doigt et arranger les choses entre sa fille et moi. Clairement, ils ne voulaient pas de moi. Alors, à quoi bon insister pour monter ? Je me suis reculée de la voiture. Et Lucien s'est contenté de se tourner vers moi pour dire : « Attends ici. J'en ai pas pour longtemps. » Ce qu'il ne comprendra jamais, c'est que… moi, j'en ai fini d'attendre après lui.

She was never meant to be loved—only used. Lorelie Montgomery was the illegitimate daughter of a powerful political dynasty, raised in silence and trained to serve. When her family arranged a marriage between her and Governor Sebastian Kingston, she knew it was just another move in a game she never asked to play. To the public, they were the perfect political couple. Behind closed doors, there were strangers bound by suspicion, secrets and hidden agendas. Sebastian saw her as his pawn to get close to her corrupt family. Lorelie never trusted him and wanted nothing more than to escape from him and her family. Every smile was rehearsed.

Can love save them from the lies that built their world? Or will it be the reason they lose everything?

We’d been together for seven years, but during that entire time, my fiancée rejected the idea of getting married ninety-nine times, all because of a male intern. The first time, she canceled our vacation at the last minute, saying the intern was stuck on a night shift and afraid of the dark. She got on a flight that very night and rushed back to the hospital. The second time, we were already halfway through the doors of the courthouse to get our marriage registered. But just then, she got word that the intern had collapsed from exhaustion. Without a second thought, she left me standing alone in the snow for the entire day. After that, it became a pattern. Every time we were together, the intern would find some excuse to pull her away. Eventually, I made up my mind to let go. I stopped dreaming about a happy marriage with her. However, just when I announced I was transferring to another city, she broke down, begging me, almost hysterically, not to leave.

My first reaction when I encountered the landslide was not to run, but to immediately call Ethan. After all, Ethan always nagged at me, and I can almost hear him saying, "You can't do anything right; I always have to come to help." The phone rang for ages before it finally connected, and by then, the landslide had knocked me to the ground. "Yes? What is with you? Calling eight hundred times a day… Don't you ever get tired of it? I told you I'm working; I don't have time. "Hello? If you're not going to say anything, I'm hanging up. I've got other things to do." Beep, beep! Before I could say a word, Ethan impatiently scolded me. Typical. That had been Ethan Lang's attitude five years into our marriage. He might not have to put up with me anymore after this, though, because I might never see him again......
