Vivian X Goombella

Geschieden und wieder verheiratet – ich habe den Überblick verloren, wie oft Aaron und ich in die Ehe ein- und wieder austraten. Er behandelte mich einst wie etwas Kostbares, doch noch kein Jahr nach der Hochzeit beantragte er unsere erste Scheidung. Der Grund war einfach: Vivian kam zurück. „Vivian ist eine Person des öffentlichen Lebens“, erklärte er. „Ich will nicht, dass jemand annimmt, sie würde sich mit einem Verheirateten einlassen.“ Diese Schauspielerin der dritten Garde hatte nichts vorzuweisen außer dem Opfer ihres Vaters. Er hatte für Aaron eine Kugel aufgefangen – ein Leben für ein Leben. Und deshalb glaubte Aaron, er schulde ihr alles. Immer wenn Vivian zurückkehrte, reichte Aaron die Scheidung ein. Und jedes Mal, wenn sie ging, heirateten wir wieder. Beim ersten Mal, als wir uns trennten, ertränkte ich meinen Kummer in Whiskey und torkelte halb betrunken zu seinem Haus. Drinnen warf das Licht einen warmen Schein. Er war bei ihr. Und ich stand draußen und zitterte die ganze Nacht. Beim zweiten Mal verfolgte ich jeden seiner Schritte – Restaurants, Auktionen, Wohltätigkeitsgalas – nur um „zufällig“ wieder auf ihn zu treffen. Mit der Zeit lernte ich dazu. Sobald er das Wort Scheidung erwähnte, packte ich leise meinen Koffer und verschwand aus seiner Villa. Meine Liebe und meine Demütigung hielten mich in diesem endlosen Kreislauf aus Trennung und Wiederzusammenkommen gefangen. Aber diesmal, als Aaron im Standesamt auf mich wartete, um wieder zu heiraten, kam ich nicht.

I am the only daughter of the Alpha King. When I was eight, I rescued a starving rogue pup named Alex from the border. I begged my father to take him in, and we grew up together. At eighteen, I discovered he was my fated mate. My father happily gave me to him in marriage, carved out a stretch of territory, and made him an Alpha. Everyone said we were a perfect match. Until a year ago — while I was pregnant — the boy who had always protected me and adored me fell in love with a Healer named Vivian. He told me that he'd always seen me as a little sister. He got on his knees and begged me to let him go. He was willing to give up the entire territory and his Alpha title. My hands trembled as I signed the Mate Bond dissolution agreement. But before it could take effect, that healer slipped wolfsbane into my medicine. I miscarried. When I finally opened my eyes, Alex rushed to my side with bloodshot eyes, held me tight like he was terrified of losing me, and apologized over and over. He said he was wrong. He swore he would devote himself to me completely. I was consumed by hatred. I ordered Vivian's execution. But Alex grabbed my hand and stopped me. He told me he'd already banished her permanently. For the next year, Alex was perfectly devoted — attentive to my every need. Then, seven months into my second pregnancy, I stumbled upon the woman who should have been long banished — Vivian, quietly settled at the edge of the territory. And Alex, leaning down to kiss her tenderly. If he loves Vivian that much, then I'll take back everything I ever gave him — and let him have his "true love." But if that's what he wanted... then why is he on his knees again, begging me to come back?

Divorciados y vueltos a casar. Ya ni sé cuántas veces Aaron y yo hemos pasado por lo mismo. Antes me trataba como si yo fuera lo más valioso para él, pero no había pasado ni un año de la boda cuando me pidió el divorcio por primera vez. La razón era sencilla: Vivian iba a regresar. —Vivian es una figura pública —me dijo—. No quiero que nadie piense que se está metiendo con un hombre casado. Esa actriz de cuarta no era nadie si no fuera por el sacrificio de su padre. Le dieron un balazo que iba para Aaron. Una vida por otra. Y por eso, Aaron sentía que le debía todo. Cada vez que Vivian volvía al país, Aaron se divorciaba de mí. Y cada vez que se iba, nos volvíamos a casar. La primera vez que terminamos, ahogué mis penas en whisky y volví a su casa a tropezones, medio borracha. Las luces de la casa se veían cálidas. Estaba con ella. Y yo me quedé afuera, temblando de frío, resistiendo la noche entera. La segunda vez, le seguí el rastro a todos lados; restaurantes, subastas, galas de beneficencia, solo para “encontrármelo por accidente” una y otra vez. Con el tiempo, aprendí. En cuanto mencionaba el divorcio, yo hacía mi maleta en silencio y me iba de su mansión sin hacer ruido. Mi amor y la humillación me mantuvieron atrapada en ese ciclo interminable de rupturas y reconciliaciones. Pero esta vez, cuando Aaron me esperó en el registro civil para volver a casarnos, no fui.

My fated Alpha wanted to indulge his mistress Vivian as Luna for a while. So he pretended he'd lost our connection and wouldn't even admit I was his Luna. Walking past the study, I heard Vivian's sickly sweet voice: "Darling, if I'm acting Luna, can you mark me every night too? But... won't Sophia get suspicious? I mean, you two have been mates for five years." "What's she going to do? She can't leave the pack, and she definitely can't leave me," Ethan scoffed. "Sophia? That idiot. I told her I lost the connection, and she actually believed we didn't have a bond anymore. Even if she found out the truth, she'd just quietly hand over the Luna title and go back to being a healer. The only Luna in my heart is you, sweetheart." I stopped in my tracks. I didn't call him out. A sharp pain shot through me as our mate bond weakened. I turned and left. Let them think their little plan was perfect. They'd find out soon enough what a big surprise this "idiot" had in store for them.

Masipag at matiyaga si Vivian sa pagtatrabaho, kahit mag-isa na lang sa buhay ay kumakayod siya upang may maipang-kain para sa sarili. Marami siyang trabaho at isa na rin dito ang pangingisda. Isang araw, habang siya'y nangingisda, natagpuan niya ang isang lalaking palutang-lutang sa karagatan. Kaniya itong kinupkop at napag-alamang nawalan ito ng alaala. Ito na kaya ang pagkakataon niya para makapag-asawa?

My husband, Damien, loved me deeply—so deeply it felt like I was his whole world. Everyone said he was the perfect husband. Yet, he betrayed me. Not once, not twice, but three times. The first time was three years ago. His closest friend, Aaron, died saving him. Damien kept it from me and secretly married Aaron’s girlfriend, Vivian—on paper. I was heartbroken and ready to leave him. That night, he sent her abroad and fell to his knees, begging me. “Estelle, Aaron gave his life for me. I must take care of his widow. That marriage certificate is just a promise of security for Vivian. Once I’ve avenged Aaron, I’ll divorce her. The only woman I love is you.” I forgave him. The second time came the following year. At a press conference, Damien publicly introduced Vivian as the Mafia leader’s wife. He pulled me aside to explain. “Vivian is the only daughter of the Young family—the Mafia. Our two families joined forces for one reason only: to get revenge for Aaron. I’ve already made arrangements with her. Once we’ve dealt with our enemies, I’ll divorce her and marry you right away.” Once again, I believed him. Then came the third time. Someone drugged Damien at a banquet, and he spent the night with Vivian. He hid it from me until just two weeks ago, when I caught him at the hospital, sitting beside her during a prenatal checkup. That was when I finally learned the truth. He lowered his head, unable to meet my eyes, and spoke in a low voice. “Estelle, it was an accident. Once she gives birth, I’ll send her away. My parents will raise the child, and I swear—neither of them will ever appear in your life again.” In the name of love, Damien pushed me to compromise again and again. Yet now I know. There’s no future left for us. It’s time for me to walk away.

My son, Andy, had a sudden liver failure and needed a liver transplant. The only compatible match was my wife, Vivian Grant. I had begged her for 20 days to give Andy a liver transplant. Finally, she caved in. I waited the entire day in front of the operating theater, but she didn’t appear. On the same day, her first love, Jason Sanderson posted on his social media. [20th day of traveling around the world. Dr. Grant had given up her career to help fulfil my son's dream of traveling the world.] Only then did I find out that Vivian had been travelling the world with Jason and his son, Luke, since day one. That night, I received a call from Vivian. "Charlie, Luke had gotten full marks on his exam. His wish was to have his Daddy and Mommy travel around the world with him. As you know, he doesn't have a Mommy. I couldn't bear to watch him not get his wish. "We'll return in three days. We can have the surgery for Andy then." She had no idea that what awaited her at the hospital was Andy's lifeless body.

Ten years ago, the Harrington family went through a home invasion. My mother, a maid, shielded Liam with her life. Holding my hands tight, Liam promised, "Andrea, don't worry. I'll protect you forever." I believed him. Our bond grew naturally, and we had a beautiful daughter together. Then, she was diagnosed with leukemia. In her last days, all she wanted was to spend one birthday with her dad. I called him, desperate to make it happen. "Millie doesn't have much time left. All she wants is one birthday with you. Can you come?" His voice on the other end went icy. "Really? This your latest stunt? Using your dead mom wasn't enough, now it's our daughter for pity? Disgusting." I tried to deny it, but he cut me off. "Don't mess with her head. Learn from Vivian—she's got a real heart." That night, our daughter passed away. Later, Vivian posted on social media: [Finally taking that couples' trip someone promised me!] I didn't scream. I didn't cry. I just texted Liam: [We're done.]
