All works

Chapter 1 My sister was bullied and humiliated by a local gang, yet there was nowhere to go for justice. My husband, a top-tier attorney in the country and the only person capable of helping her, refused to lift a finger―all because he was busy tending to his high school sweetheart's sprained ankle. In the sweltering July heat, I knelt on the scorching pavement, begging him to intervene. He looked down at me with pure annoyance, helping his precious 'first love' walk away. "It's just a pett

1. I, Avery Sterling, the only daughter of the world's richest man, fell for a penniless boy named Silas Blackwell. When we met, his family business had collapsed, leaving him with over a hundred million dollars in debt. I hid my identity and stayed by his side for three years. Today, he finally paid off every cent and took his new tech company public on the New York Stock Exchange. Seeing his triumphant figure on the big screen, I decided it was time to tell him the truth. I was tired of liv

Chapter 1 On the day I was sentenced to death by lethal injection, my parents were throwing a grand press conference. They were announcing their adopted son, Landon, as the sole heir to the Crawford family enterprise. My sister, Renee, was newly engaged to him, completing their perfect little family portrait. As for me, the biological son who had tried to expose Landon's sick ambition? I was cast out as an ungrateful traitor, disowned and left to rot. Then I died, and the universe gave me a

My in-laws plunged off a cliff during a mountain hike, yet my wife, the captain of the local Search and Rescue squad, refused the dispatch. She chose to take her junior intern up the hills to light fireworks for his birthday instead. By the time my in-laws were located, their bodies were shattered beyond recognition. Only then did my wife bother to call me, her voice dripping with casual disdain. "Have your parents' bodies brought to our station. Austin needs to dissect two more cadavers to

1 I had a mom, but she wouldn't let me call her "Mom." Only "sis" was allowed. I lived with her and her new husband as her little sister. She said I was a curse, that my birth started her downhill slide. My half brother, she claimed, was her lucky charm, the reason for her "good" life. As I grew older, she hated it when people said I looked like her. She wanted me to disappear. If I died, she wouldn't have to worry about anyone figuring out I was her daughter. Finally, I died for her pr

1. Seven years. I gave Jackson Hayes seven whole years of my life. 2,555 days. 87,600 hours. Countless times waking up at 3:00 AM, reaching out just to make sure he was still there. And him? He took one week―just one single week―to climb into the bed of an NYU sophomore. "Sophia, I’m tired." That was his reason for breaking up with me. Just those three words. At the time, I was holding his Tom Ford shirt, freshly picked up from the dry cleaner. The black one. His favorite. I had drive

1. The day Sebastian took his place as Alpha of the Silvermoon Pack, he took two people with him. One was our son, Leo. The other was the woman who saved his life. Elena. Leo inherited Sebastian's pure Alpha blood. There was no way he'd let the boy waste his talents in some human backwater. Elena had saved him. He owed her a debt. A promise he had to keep. And to me, he said this. "Faye. Wait for me. Once I've secured my position in the territory, I'll come back for you." In my first life

Chapter 1 In an online beauty contest, I won first place with a single candid, unedited photo. That victory bruised the fragile ego of Gemma Crawford, an entitled heiress and rising star. That very night, Gemma had my mother kidnapped. Seven days later, the police found my mother in a suburban safehouse. Her limbs were broken, and she had bled to death. Consumed by grief, I dragged the arrogant socialite straight to criminal court. Now, inside the crowded courtroom, the judge adjusted his g

To scrape together enough cash for a train ticket back home for New Year’s Eve, I clicked into a random giveaway livestream while looking for quick gigs. A gorgeous girl in a silk robe rested her chin on her hand, a lavishly decorated mansion sprawling behind her. “I am so bored being cooped up in this mansion,” she pouted. “My sugar daddy gives me way more cash than I can ever spend. Help me burn through some of it, will you?” My hands trembled with excitement as I tapped and claimed several

1 I secretly got a heart transplant, hiding it from Garrett and his "one true love." Everyone thought I was dead, but I was actually lounging on a beach in some tropical paradise, soaking up the sun. Then one day, Garrett discovered my urn was filled with baby formula. Oops. Game over. ... I first learned I was immortal at seven years old. My alcoholic father, drunk as usual, smashed empty liquor bottles on my head, one after another, until shattered glass littered the floor. I felt the b

The day my father passed away, my husband, Chase Miller, was supposedly away on a business trip and couldn't make it back. After the funeral ended, his childhood sweetheart posted a photo on Instagram. "You're finally making all our childhood promises come true." The picture showed her and Chase having a beautiful wedding ceremony. Looking at the two of them looking so perfect together, I left a comment below. "I hope you two grow old and gray together!" When I refreshed the page, the post

As the Holy Maiden of the Sacred City, if I did not marry before turning seventeen, I would be sacrificed to the sky gods. Yet on the eve of our wedding, Harrison Ward suddenly replaced me with Selene, the maidservant who attended to me. He claimed he took pity on her helplessness and wished to give her a home. Harrison looked at me with tender devotion and said, "Do not worry, Lyra. After the wedding, you two will be sisters of equal status, and she will continue to serve you." He was worri

I took our family car in for routine maintenance. The technician reached into the gap beside the passenger seat and pulled out a cat maternity handbook. The cat was named "Rose." The guardian signature was written in my husband's unmistakable handwriting: "Rose's Daddy, Derek Harrison." I froze on the spot. Our family had never owned a cat. Just then, Derek called my phone. I casually brought it up. "I found a pet handbook in the car. Since when do you have a cat?" He let out a light ch

My grandpa was collecting scrap cardboard by the side of the road when he accidentally brushed against the designer skirt of a billionaire's daughter. In retaliation, she tied him to the bumper of her red sports car and dragged him to death. When I finally recovered his body, half of his flesh had been ground away against the pavement. A year later, that billionaire's daughter enrolled at Crestmont University. And I became her roommate. … 1 I returned to the dorm after finishing my shift,

I had been the Shadow King's secret lover for a century in the dark depths of the Night Realm. I waited with a hopeful heart for him to ask for my hand in marriage. But then, I accidentally overheard him drinking and joking with his generals. "The King even managed to seduce the High Priestess of the Sun. When is the wedding feast?" one of them asked. Balthazar took a sip of his dark wine and sneered. "What wedding? I never intended to marry that little flower shifter! She threw herself at

My childhood sweetheart and my biological brother hated my guts. They were convinced I had bullied their precious little angel, Misty. To get revenge, they publicly slandered me at my own promotion gala. Pierce, the man I’d loved since we were kids, pointed a finger at me in front of everyone. “She’s a toxic bully who harassed her classmates. A woman this vile shouldn't be in a position of power!” Under the spotlight, Misty Sterling made her entrance with a fragile smile. “I’ve found peace

I returned from my parents' house only to find the bedroom in a total mess. The sheets were tangled, and clothes were scattered everywhere. My husband, Grant Sterling, was shirtless and had his arms around his sister-in-law, April Sinclair. He was nibbling on her earlobe with sickening intimacy. April's hair was a disaster, and her pale skin was covered in flushed, suggestive marks. She leaned into Grant's chest, her eyes shimmering with fake innocence. "Grant, stop it, that hurts~" she wh

Chapter 1 "Thompson, are you sure you want to join the Fourth Task Force of 'Operation Dark Raven' as a full-fledged combat member?" On the deck of the naval base, the California sun was scorching. The heat was making her scalp tingle, but Maya Thompson looked at the officer in his crisp white uniform and her eyes were firm. "Sir, I'm sure." "Alright. Then I declare that from this day forward, you are officially a member of 'Operation Dark Raven.' You have two weeks to prepare. After that, yo

On the day my father took the throne as the Alpha King, he threw my mother―the woman who had bled for him on the battlefield―into the silver cells. Instead of honoring her, he made the daughter of the High Chancellor his Queen. Even my husband, the Pack's Lead Enforcer, became engaged to a noblewoman. I asked him why my father broke his sacred vow to my mother. Alaric told me, "Zala, the King has just ascended. Your mother is the daughter of a rival pack. Him sparing her life is already an a

For the sake of a mere omega plaything named Caspian, the Alpha Luna proposed at the Blood Moon Gala that she should be allowed to take two mates. I refused to lower my dignity as a high-ranking wolf of the Sterling Pack, so I turned my back on her and married Seraphina Blackwood, who had claimed to love me for years. After our mating ceremony, we lived in what seemed like perfect harmony, our souls supposedly in sync. It wasn't until our sixth year of marriage that I discovered the obsidian
