Vivre Card

When I go home for the holidays, I find out that my dad has installed a facial recognition machine at the front door. "You'll have to pay an entry fee of 50 thousand dollars. Will you be paying by card or payment code?" I thought my dad was joking at first. As I laugh, I attempt to walk through the front door while pushing my luggage forward. But my mom passes me a price list with an icy look. "That'll be 200 dollars for dragging stuff across the floor. You'll also be charged 1,000 dollars per hour for using up the air." I'm stunned by her words. "Mom, stop messing around already!" But when I walk into the house, I realize that the air inside has disappeared. Unable to breathe, my face soon turns bright red out of suffocation as I kneel down on the floor. My mom huffs coldly again. "If you want to live, then pay up!" With great difficulty, I dig out my phone and pay the fees. Once the transaction is done, I can feel air rushing through my nostrils and into my lungs. For a few moments, I pant heavily. As I stare at my cold-looking parents, I finally feel that something is off. So, I scramble up to my feet and rush for the door. But that's when I find out that the front door is already welded shut. There's a payment code pasted on the door as well as a message. "Exit fee. One million dollars."

On the first day I reunite with the wealthy Holloways, as soon as I step into the villa, I'm instantly whisked into a car with tinted windows. The fake heiress, Kate Holloway, cuts my ID and bank card with a pair of scissors right in front of my biological parents. She grins smugly at me the whole time. "You see, Rosalie, I've offended that one person who must not be offended at all costs in Ravenfield. You should go kneel in his estate for a few days. Think of this as your way to repay the Hollways for giving birth to you in this world." My heartless parents even tell the driver, "Make sure that she doesn't escape. It all depends on her whether or not our family will be able to survive this crisis." The journey to the mysterious man's estate is bumpy. But the scenery outside the window becomes more familiar as time passes. Finally, the driver stops right outside a well-guarded estate. He reports in a frightened tone, "W-We are here to deliver the girl to Mr. Whitethorn." Mr. Whitethorn? As in the powerful man who is prone to mood swings and can easily make families such as the Holloways go into bankruptcy with just a twitch of his finger? Wait, isn't that Dominic Whitethorn, my adoptive father who has doted on me since I was a little girl? The Holloways have chosen to make me the scapegoat in order to protect Kate. They probably never would've thought that the fearsome Mr. Whitethorn, who's capable of determining their survival, has scoured the entire city for me because I didn't come home last night.

“I Marcus Brennon of Shadowmoon, hereby reject you as my mate,” he declared with finality. “Not only are you a disgrace to me, but you are a curse to this entire pack. I do not wish to be associated with such bad luck.” Marcus stood before me, his voice extremely cold as if we didn't just share a special bond a few hours back. As Marcus turned to leave, the pain of his rejection sliced deeply through me. I stumbled to my feet, my limbs feeling weak under the weight of the broken bond. *** Bella had it all, a face card that never declined and curves in all the right places, excellent college grades, and a lovely, peaceful home.

O ano em que renasci foi o ano em que a guerra contra os vampiros começou. A primeira coisa que fiz foi me livrar do filhote. O filhote do meu companheiro. Do Alfa Lucas. Na minha vida passada, ele encobriu sua amiga de infância, Sarah, quando ela se acasalou com um vampiro. Ele pegou meu filhote de sangue puro e o trocou pelo bastardo mestiço dela. Eles me rotularam como traidora. Torturaram-me até a morte em uma masmorra de prata. E meu próprio filho, que sofreu lavagem cerebral por Sarah, ficou sobre meu cadáver e me disse para apodrecer no inferno. Quando abri meus olhos novamente, estava grávida de três meses. Não hesitei. Caminhei direto até a cabana da bruxa e bebi o veneno que ela me deu. Mas, enquanto a vida se esvaía, abri outra garrafa: uma cara Poção Mímica. Ela simula os batimentos cardíacos de um filhote. Ela exala o cheiro de uma mãe à espera. Lucas quer uma criança para levar a culpa pelo crime de Sarah. Certo. Eu darei um show a ele. Desta vez, não tenho fraquezas.

Title: Married Again Genre: Steamy Romance | Age Gap | Heir/Heiress Sebastian Wolfe had it all—money, power, and a last name that commanded respect. As the CEO of Wolfe Enterprises and a widowed father in his forties, he wasn't looking for love. His first marriage had been a cold arrangement built on duty, not desire. But when a whirlwind scandal threatens his empire, he does the unthinkable: marries again. This time, it’s different. This time, it’s Aria Sinclair—twenty-two, dazzling, and dangerously off-limits. The daughter of a powerful rival, Aria is everything Sebastian shouldn't want: impulsive, rebellious, and young enough to be his daughter. But her beauty is blinding, her tongue is sharp, and her presence ignites a fire he thought long dead. What starts as a strategic alliance quickly spirals into something darker, deeper, and much more dangerous. Their chemistry is undeniable—raw, electric, forbidden. Every stolen glance, every heated touch threatens to unravel the strict control Sebastian has clung to for years. But Aria isn’t just a trophy wife or a pawn in his business game—she's the wild card that could destroy everything… or save him from himself. As secrets rise and the past claws its way into their present, Sebastian must face the hardest truth of all: marrying Aria might have been his greatest risk—but losing her could be his ultimate downfall. Married Again is a seductive tale of age-gap obsession, power plays, and a man learning that sometimes, love doesn’t come in the form you expect—it comes in the fire you never saw coming.

The day I dissolved the mate bond, I called my childhood friend to pick me up. I had a bank card with barely any balance left, my phone, and the same clothes I had worn the day I moved into this house. That was everything I owned after all those years living in the pack. My mate, Derek Anderson, called to say I had left a few things behind. "Forget it. Just throw them away." He seemed reluctant to give up. "Your son keeps saying he wants to see you." I dragged my suitcase behind me and walked away without looking back. "Tell him he'll have a new mom soon. The one he's always wanted." Like father, like son. They even fell for the same woman. In the past, I would have asked myself, 'Why won't they even look at me? I've given them so much.' Now, I felt nothing. If they didn't love me, then so be it. I would let them go and let myself go in the process too. My childhood best friend, Eric Keaton, helped me with my luggage and opened the door of his Maybach. I said one last thing to my mate. "I won't ever disturb you and your son again." After a long time, he found me. He grabbed my arm like a madman and stared at me in despair. "Leah Sullivan, why don't you care about us anymore?"
