All works

The medication on my nightstand had been swapped for vitamins. It caused a sudden heart attack that nearly took my life. After the stent surgery, I asked my husband to look into it. I wanted justice for what had happened to me. He didn't even look up at me. He just gave me a cold, flat refusal. "Carly made a mistake with the pills. She bought those for me," he said. "Stop digging into it. She has asthma, and she can't handle the stress of being blamed." I froze as a sharp pain bloomed in my

I smelled the sharp, stinging scent of formalin coming from the one room my girlfriend never let me enter. Driven by a dark curiosity, I pushed the door open. Inside, I found a cold, stiff corpse. I was certain it belonged to her husband. Right at that moment, my phone buzzed. A voice as cold as a grave spoke from the other end. "Does my wife's body feel good, Silas? " 1 After dinner, I put in some serious work and went for two more rounds. I was completely exhausted after that. I fell

Three days before our wedding anniversary, Silas changed his phone password for the sixth time. I watched the unnatural twitch at the corner of his mouth―his classic tell whenever he lied. I didn't start a fight. Instead, I spent the afternoon pulling every hotel record and bank transfer from the past six months. He had spent two hundred and eighty-three thousand dollars on a college student named Lexi. On the night of our anniversary, I didn't wait for him to come home. I spread twenty-one pag

To experience a hundred different lovers from all walks of life. During our five years of secret marriage, Scarlett Sterling brought a revolving door of men into her bed. Every time she brought a lover home, I was banished to the study for the night. Once she was done, she would make me clean up the filthy "battlefield." "He has no shame. This is the only use he has now." The little assistant who had run over my sister had just climbed out of Scarlett's bed. He looked at me with an arrogan

I stayed by Kendra Tate's side for three years, managing every single detail of her life. Yet whenever she stepped out with her new boy toy, she never bothered to hide it from me. Everyone mocked me behind my back for being so generous, laughing that I was willing to share my woman. What they didn't know was that our relationship had been a business transaction from the start. On the final day of our three-year contract, Kendra wrapped her arm around Ashton Bailey and made a lavish announcem

I only poured half a cup of water for my Oscar-winning husband's female "bro." Because of that, he yelled at me for being disrespectful and handed the lead role I had fought months for straight to her. Under the excuse of filming a dramatic scene, his "bro" slapped me repeatedly and shoved me down the stairs, causing severe internal bleeding. While I fought for my life on the operating table, he was enjoying a romantic dinner with her. When the doctor finally reached him to sign the emergenc

I used to be a low-level clerk at the Water Management Bureau. On the night the Stillwater dam was about to burst, my fiancée, Willow Townsend, insisted on going to the Moonlight Festival with her childhood sweetheart, Neil Yardley. In my past life, I dragged her to her parents' estate to save them, only to later hear that Neil had been killed. He was caught in a riot during the festival, and his body was carried away, never to be found. "If you hadn't kept me away from him, he wouldn't have

Chapter 1 "Hey Seraphina, that guy you wanted to set me up with... is the offer still on the table? I want to meet him." On the other end of the line, my sister sounded shocked. "What changed your mind? Just a few days ago, you were swearing up and down that it was Clint Harrison or no one..." I thought back to my grand declarations from last week. Now, they just felt like the punchline of a cruel joke. "Just consider it a wake-up call," I said quietly. "Alright. He's actually flying back t

1 My mom's always been a pushover. Before my SATs, she secretly canceled my guaranteed admission to Stanford, just because our neighbor's daughter was one spot away from getting in. I ended up taking the SATs with a raging fever, passed out during the test, and my score was only good enough for community college. I somehow managed to pick myself up and decided to move out and work. Eventually, I had my own little apartment and a cat who loved me. But then my mom barged into my place one day

1 My fiancé wanted to leave an heir for his best buddy. Exactly a month before our wedding, he insisted on having a baby with his friend's wife. I hysterically asked him why he had to do this. "Can't they just adopt a child?" I cried. But my fiancé simply brushed it off. "Seth was my best buddy, and he passed away so suddenly. Grace can't take it and has already tried to end it all several times," he argued. "Could you please stop being so sensitive? I am the only person Grace knows in thi

1. My Alpha mate, Kayden, promised he would only visit his unstable childhood sweetheart, Clara, ninety-nine times. But when I had finally placed the ninety-ninth bean in the jar, I saw him holding Clara in a tight embrace. I stopped crying and begging him not to go to her after that. I simply asked him for a guardian sigil for a wolf pup, a gift for our coming child. The mention of our child softened his expression. “Wait for me to get back. I’ll go with you to the pack infirmary for the p

For ten years, I lived with Vanessa Sterling. Despite a decade together, she still refused to acknowledge our relationship to the world. During those years, I took care of her every need. Everyone in our circle assumed we were a solid couple. At a friend's wedding, I caught the bouquet. Amidst the cheers and teasing of the crowd, I hesitated before finally dropping to one knee in front of her. She laughed right in my face, looking completely unbothered. "Caleb Reed, I see you as a brother, an

On our wedding anniversary, my wife's male assistant posted a photo sitting in my Ferrari on his Instagram. The caption boasted, "Big sister's love!" I simply gave it a like. Seconds later, my wife called me, screaming through the phone. "Weston! Why are you so damn petty?" "What's wrong with letting an employee borrow my car for a couple of days? Did you really have to hire internet trolls to cyberbully him?" From the other end of the line came Sawyer's pitiful, whimpering voice. Nadine'

1. My best friend, Chloe, and I married into the illustrious Harrison family of Boston together. I married my eldest son, Nathaniel, a celebrated genius surgeon at Mass General. She married the younger son, Caleb, a Hollywood A-lister. On our third wedding anniversary, I was pregnant and fell down the stairs. My husband, Nathaniel, was with his college flame, Ava, helping her purebred cat give birth. I called him, begging him to come home. He said, "Can you not be so dramatic? Ava's cat is h

I was working late at the office when I stumbled upon a bathroom selfie my wife, Natalie, had just posted. In the reflection of the steamed glass, I noticed the faint outline of a man standing behind the shower door. My blood ran cold. Had an intruder broken into our house? Panicked, I immediately dialed her number, but nobody answered. A few minutes later, she called back. Her voice sounded breathless and drowsy. "Babe, what is it? I was already half-asleep. Don't work too late, okay?" He

The day I found out I was pregnant, Julian was so excited that he bought out every baby boutique in the city. He even acquired a private hospital specifically for my delivery. He held me tightly and whispered, "I want to give our child the very best of everything. Their birth will be the perfect ending to our love story." But that was also the day I found two bottles of medicine in his study. One was to support a pregnancy, and the other was to end it. I also saw the chat logs with his fema

1 I left the Sterling mansion in a torrential downpour on my son's birthday. My little boy pushed me toward the door with all his might. "I hate you! I want Aunt Rosalie to be my mommy!" My husband, Quentin, didn't stop him. He shared a smile with his childhood sweetheart, Rosalie, before looking at me coldly. "Look at how he treats you. You don't deserve to be a mother. Don't stay here and ruin the party tonight." Half my body was already soaked by the rain. I looked at him and made a d

1. In my past life, on the day my sister and I attended the coven's Pairing Ritual, I saved a fallen vampire prince. To repay my kindness, the moment he returned to his clan, he announced I would be his future bride. A year later, I gave birth to a pureblood heir, the only one in the entire vampire kingdom. The prince was ecstatic. On the day he was crowned High Prince, he sealed a Blood Bond with me, making me his eternal mate and Queen. I was admired by all. My sister, however, chose to m

They say when danger strikes, your gut reaction never lies. When the chandelier came crashing down, Harrison Sterling shielded Lulu Monroe without a heartbeat's hesitation. That was the moment I realized our five years together was nothing but a bad joke. I broke up with him on the spot and moved out of our apartment. His friends all placed bets on how long I'd last before crawling back. Harrison just smirked and said, "Give her a week, tops." Later, when we crossed paths at a high-end gala, I

The luxury postpartum retreat called me this morning. The concierge asked if I was satisfied with their service during the first few days of my stay. I stood there, frozen in my kitchen. I was only eight months pregnant. I hadn't even given birth yet, let alone checked into a recovery suite. I immediately confronted my husband, Caleb, who had been the one handling all the arrangements with the center. Caleb looked at me with a face full of fake sympathy. "Honey, that place costs a hundre
