Pada hari pernikahan, pacarku terang-terangan kabur dari pernikahan demi menemani sahabat masa kecilnya yang hamil di luar nikah, melahirkan. Seiring dengan tatapan mengejek para tamu undangan, aku melepas tudung pengantin dan pergi ke rumah sakit, menuntut penjelasan darinya. Namun aku justru melihatnya menggendong bayi yang baru dilahirkan sahabatnya itu, dengan penuh kasih di matanya. Sahabatnya sengaja bertanya, “Kak Candra, hari ini kan hari pernikahanmu. Kamu datang menemani aku melahirkan, bagaimana kalau Feli marah?” Kemudian Candra menjawab, “Pernikahan bisa diadakan kapan saja. Tapi soal kamu melahirkan, aku tidak bisa tenang kalau kamu sendirian di rumah sakit.” “Mulai sekarang aku adalah ayah dari anak ini, aku tidak akan biarkan siapa pun mengganggu kalian berdua.” Beberapa waktu kemudian, ketika aku memilih menikah dengan orang lain, Candra justru menerobos masuk ke pernikahanku seperti orang gila, memohon agar aku memberinya satu kesempatan lagi...

I had been married to Lucius Martin for three years, and in all that time, there was never a shortage of women around him. Each time he brought another woman home, he would give me a necklace worth a fortune. In just three short years, I had accumulated ninety-nine necklaces. When Lucius fastened the hundredth necklace around my neck, I no longer cried or made a scene. Because this time, the woman he cheated with was my own older sister, the one who had beaten and scolded me since we were children. The man I loved most joined hands with the person I hated most to torment me together. At that moment, my heart finally died. This time, I took the initiative and walked up to Lucius, placing a house purchase contract into his hands. "As long as you sign this," I said, "you can do whatever you want with her." A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, but in the end, he signed without hesitation. For the first time ever, he even leaned down and gently kissed my cheek. "Good girl," he murmured. "You've finally learned to behave." I personally opened the car door for him and watched as he hurried off toward my sister. When the car disappeared completely from sight, I let out a long breath. Then I reached beneath the documents and pulled out the paper hidden there—a divorce agreement.

After Charlotte was thrown out by her father along with her mother from the Enfield's family, Charlotte struggles to take care of her sick mother's medical bills. On the day her mother collapses in the hospital, she is threatened by her father with her mother's life to replace and marry her step-sister's fiancé who turns out to be the scarred and crippled son of the Moore family so that they could get money to finance their family's business. In exchange, her mother's bills will be paid. Charlotte married him and decided to make their marriage work and stay away from her family, but her stepmother and step-sister would not leave her alone. This time around, she is ready to fight them with her new identity as Mrs. Moore.

My name is Christian Thompson, and once upon a time, I was the best striker in European football. That was until he came along—Ashford Ryder, young and carefree, 10 years my junior and the new shining star. I hate him. At least that's what I tell myself. Not just because he's taken my spot, but because he's everything I've struggled all my life to be, and not to be. He's vibrant, he's happy, and the worst of all, he's openly gay. I'm not homophobic, quite the opposite—I've lived in the closet all my life. All my life, I've had to hide who I am to please the people around me. European football hasn't always been this accepting of gay men, and I'd squeezed myself into a box to fit in with what they wanted of me. It isn’t that hard when you think about my family who'd rather disown me than have an openly gay son. So imagine how I feel when the world decides to be more accommodating to people like Ashford Ryder when they shoved me in a box. It's not so easy to hate the happy-go-lucky striker, when he does everything to get close to me, despite my insistent hatred for him. He's like a thorn in my side—a hot, sexy, blonde, 5ft9 thorn I can't stop thinking about. But when one day I lose my cool around the popular striker and land myself in bad press, I end up needing his help. It's supposed to be easy. Spend some time with Ashford Ryder, and show our fans that we can work together—it's what I need to do to save my career. But no one tells you how hard it is to hate someone you spend every waking hour dreaming about.

A quince días de la boda, Santiago Velasco y yo tuvimos una pelea feroz. La razón no era otra: él quería tener un hijo con la hija de su profesor. —Solo iremos a hacer una fertilización in vitro, no hay nada entre nosotros —dijo con una calma que me heló hasta los huesos—. El profesor está muy enfermo, lo único que desea es ver a Valeria con alguien que la apoye en el futuro. —¿Y tú? —le reproché—. Nos casamos en quince días y tú vas a tener un hijo con otra mujer. ¿No te parece absurdo? Vi cómo Santiago cerraba la puerta de un portazo y, sin pensarlo, publiqué en mis redes: "Boda en quince días, busco un novio nuevo, ¿alguien se apunta?"

Meu marido sempre amou outra mulher. Quando descobri que ela era soropositiva, quebrei o sigilo médico e contei a ele. Ele não apenas me acusou de mentir, como também me culpou pela morte de um paciente, levando-me à prisão. Mais tarde, ele colocou abortivos no meu leite. Grávida de oito semanas, sofri uma hemorragia. Implorei por ajuda, mas ele apenas me empurrou e disse: — Finalmente, ninguém mais entre mim e Glei. Quando abri os olhos novamente, voltei ao dia em que a amante dele recebeu o diagnóstico. Desta vez, não contei nada. Apenas pedi o divórcio. Afinal, ele a amava demais. Achei melhor não atrapalhar.

Tenía cuatro meses de embarazo del heredero del Alfa cuando mi mejor amiga, Ariana, se estrelló contra mí. Dijo que fue un accidente. Pero su supuesto accidente me hizo perder a mi cachorro. Mi hermano, Liam, intentó delatarla ante los sabios de la manada, pero lo acusaron injustamente de traición, le quitaron su título de Beta y lo encerraron en los calabozos. Corrí a suplicarle ayuda a mi pareja, el Alfa Byron. Me abrazó con fuerza y juró que salvaría a Liam. Al día siguiente, encontré a Liam en los calabozos, encadenado con plata, apenas con vida. Devastada, volví a buscar a Byron, intentando encontrar una manera de demostrar la inocencia de Liam. Fue entonces cuando lo escuché hablar con su mano derecha. —Si su Luna se entera de que usted permitió que le tendieran una trampa a Liam... lo va a odiar. La voz de Byron sonaba agotada y con un dolor que intentaba ocultar. —Sé cómo es. Era la única forma de que perdonara a Ariana en la Ceremonia de la Luna de Sangre. Ariana me salvó la vida. No voy a permitir que esto la destruya. Hizo una pausa y su voz se tornó seria. —En cuanto a Sandra... ya veré cómo compensarla. Nunca sabrá la verdad. Jamás. Por ahora, solo tiene que... obedecer. Mi pareja, en quien confié ciegamente... Destruyó a mi familia. Todo para proteger a la loba que mató a nuestro cachorro. El dolor me desgarró el alma. Temblando de una furia que jamás había sentido, llamé al único con el que no había hablado en siete años: mi padre, el Alfa Caden. “Padre, acepto la alianza estratégica. El matrimonio que mencionaste. Pero tengo una condición. Quiero que destruyas a la Manada Blackwood.”
