Y'all Got Good Writing

The night I find out I'm pregnant, my family's villa suddenly goes up in flames. I endure the suffocating smoke and run the risk of being disfigured as I run to my son's bedroom. However, it's empty. Just then, I hear his excited exclamations outside the window. "Monica, you look so cool when putting out fires! I bet you'll get first place in this upcoming Firefighter Challenge!" I'm about to head downstairs to lecture him when a wall collapses and crushes me. As I drift in and out of consciousness, I hear my stern, stoic husband praise Monica Sloan for her courage. If I'm guessing correctly, my husband and son have started this fire to please her. I stare at the door, which is so close and yet so far. I send out one final text before dying of asphyxiation.

El día que se cumplían tres años del matrimonio de Camila y Lucas, él invitó a todos sus amigos para celebrarlo. Pero, cuando ella llegó al lugar, lo vio de rodillas, proponiéndole matrimonio a Renata, su amiga de la infancia. Camila lo confrontó con la voz contenida, pero él, con fastidio, simplemente dijo que era parte de un juego de «verdad o reto». No fue sino hasta que, por proteger a Renata, Lucas empujó a Camila por las escaleras, provocándole un aborto, que ella finalmente despertó del engaño. Ella le había dicho que le daría cinco oportunidades. Y ahora… las cinco se habían acabado. —Lucas, quiero el divorcio.

The Clan Healer told me that without the vial of Progenitor's Blood, the Blood Blight afflicting me meant I had only seventy-two hours to live. But my husband, Miles, the new Duke of our world, gave the only vial of the precious cure to my adopted sister, Vivienne, the woman I had turned three years ago. "She's in agony from the rejection, Isolde. It's a pain you can't possibly understand." His tone was self-righteous, devoid of any concern for the patch of skin on my collarbone already turning to stone. I nodded, watching as the life-saving, dark red liquid slid down another woman's throat. I accomplished a great deal in the time I had left. As I signed the documents, the lawyer's hand trembled. "Are you certain you want to transfer everything, Your Grace? The territorial rights of a thousand-year-old clan..." I didn't hesitate. "Yes. To Vivienne." My adopted daughter, Lily, the girl I had risked everything to save, who was now forever frozen at the age of eight, cowered in Vivienne's arms, pointing at me and screaming, "Aunt Vivienne is my real mommy! You're the witch who turned us into monsters!" I offered no defense. "Yes, that's right. Be a good girl and listen to your new mother now." The Progenitor's Ring, the symbol of the clan's supreme authority, now rested on Vivienne's hand. "Oh, sister, you're too kind," she sobbed, her sobs a practiced performance. "I'll be sure to protect the family in your stead." I nodded. "You'll run things better than I ever did." I even signed away my control over the Elder Council, a council sustained by my own blood. For the first time in a century, a shadow of complex emotion crossed Miles's face. He stared at me,"Isolde, stop fighting. It's better this way. You need to rest." Yes. On my deathbed, I had finally become the perfect, submissive Isolde they always wanted. An Isolde who was about to turn to dust. The seventy-two-hour countdown had begun. I wondered, when I finally turned to ash,

Como la compañera destinada de Loki Whalen, Alfa de la manada Darkshadow, una vez creí que sería su única Luna de por vida. Hoy, esa mentira se hace añicos. En el registro de la manada, mi nombre ha sido tachado como compañero de Loki. En su lugar está Maya Hemmings, su verdadero amor, quien, según él, había abandonado la manada hacía años. La verdad es cruel. En ese instante, el dolor insoportable del rechazo de mi vínculo me desgarra el alma. Es entonces cuando finalmente comprendo que mi debilidad del año pasado no se debe a la angustia de no haber podido concebir, sino a las consecuencias de la ruptura de nuestro vínculo de compañeros. Lo que él no sabe es que ayer el sanador me dijo que estoy embarazada de los cachorros gemelos con los que siempre ha soñado. Como su amor es una mentira, no tengo motivos para quedarme. Ahora me iré y me llevaré conmigo a sus verdaderos herederos.

Ambelyn did something terrible six years ago. She willingly gave her virginity to the college bully who had been tormenting her because she was forced in an arranged marriage by her family to marry the son of their biggest investor. Now stuck in a loveless marriage, where she watches her husband parade his first love and their second child hurting her and her miracle baby. Her husband hated her after divorcing she wasn't a virgin, which was the main requirement for their marriage and decided to show her how worthless she was. She swallows the insult for the sake of their child, but when her husband refuses to sign the papers for their son to get surgery or loses his life, and their second child bullying her and his elder brother and wishing for a new mummy, she decides to do what she never thought and divorce her husband, granting him slow custody of the second child, while she takes sole custody of the first child. The only issue was, she started working for the Heartless Cruel CEO who returned back home after six years abroad and it was the same man who pinned her against a library shelf and deflowered her. Would Ambelyn be able to survive working under the bully who once made her life a living hell, or would she be able to find her happily ever after in the hands of someone unexpected.

From an awkward, insecure teen to a fully grown woman—she's come a long way. After everything she’s been through, she knows now that the cheap love of her past doesn’t define her worth. Her past may be messy, even painful, but just look at the woman she’s chosen to become: strong, beautiful, and unshakable. It’s hard for her to give love a second chance—especially after building walls so high. And then he said, "I know it’s too much to ask for a second chance. Deep down, I know how badly I hurt you. My heart aches every time I replay what I said, what I did. I wish I could take it all back. I know you're scared and hesitant—but please… let me in again."

Natalia Cantú conoció a Samuel Ximénez al borde de la muerte. Como un caballero gentil, le hizo creer que estarían juntos de por vida. Hasta que, engañada por él para que llevara el caso de divorcio de su primer amor, descubrió por accidente que cinco años de amor eran falsos, que el esposo obsesionado con mimarla era falso, ¡incluso su parálisis de las piernas era falsa! Él sabía engañar y mentir, y ella también. El día que obtuvo el divorcio, Natalia se convirtió en tendencia por las críticas. Ella aprovechó la situación y ganó notoriedad. Un obsesivo magnate que la buscó durante cinco años voló esa misma noche, se arrodilló en un gesto solemne y, sosteniendo un anillo, le suplicó por su amor: —Mi princesa, si ya me salvaste una vez, ¿cómo podrías abandonarme tan fácilmente?

In my previous life, my husband, Lucien Walker, tells me he wants to take care of his widowed sister-in-law, Lina Morgan, and take her as his second wife. After I refuse, Lina throws herself off a cliff while pregnant, killing both herself and the pups. As the Wolf King, Lucien chains me on a clifftop and lets vultures tear at my flesh day after day. He gouges out my eyes and snarls, "You lied about your fertility to trick me, then drove Lina and her unborn pups to their deaths! This is your punishment!" My son, Pierce Walker, whom I pour my life into raising, stabs me 9,999 times. "If Lina were my mother, I would be strong. This is all your fault!" They never know that without my gift for bearing children, Lucien has no heir at all. When I open my eyes again, I'm back on the day Lucien proposes taking Lina as his second wife.

El día de nuestra boda, Leonardo Sánchez me juró que me amaría para toda la vida. Siete años después, hizo que otra mujer quedara embarazada y hasta la instaló en una mansión de maternidad que había preparado con esmero. Cuando lo descubrí, el vientre de ella ya estaba abultado, a punto de dar a luz. Él apenas se sobresaltó un instante, pero enseguida la protegió detrás de su espalda. —Camila, tú siempre tuviste miedo de ser madre. Con este hijo, la familia Sánchez tendrá un heredero y tú ya no tendrás que sufrir. —Seguiremos igual que antes, nada va a cambiar. Yo sostenía en mis manos el examen de embarazo recién confirmado y, entre lágrimas, solté una sonrisa rota. El día en que Valeria dio a luz, yo me sometí a un aborto, dejé el acuerdo de divorcio y tomé un avión rumbo a un país lejano.

Siete años de amor… y Matías Salazar le pagó a Camila Miranda con frialdad, excusas y una “hermanita” adoptiva demasiado pegada a él. Camila aguantó, perdonó una y otra vez. Un día despertó enferma y sola: él volvió a correr a “cuidar” a su hermana, Daniela Lozano. Ahí Camila se hartó. Marcó a Samuel Velasco, aceptó el matrimonio arreglado y se fue sin mirar atrás, retomando su lugar como la heredera Miranda. Matías se burló, seguro de que ella regresaría… hasta que en una gala la vio brillar, tomada del brazo de Samuel, ya como su esposa. Y entonces sí: le cayó el veinte. Pero Samuel no pensaba soltarla… y si Matías se atrevía a tocarla otra vez, se lo iba a cobrar.
