All works

While I was working myself to the bone to save money for Caden, he was busy renting out an entire theme park to propose to some college girl. I was being paid fifty bucks to play a background actor just to set the mood, while he was lighting up the whole city with fireworks for her. I watched the romantic confession written across the sky, then silently walked away and packed my bags. He thought I was just throwing a tantrum, confidently telling his friends that I would be on his knees beggin

My mother-in-law suffered a massive heart attack on her birthday right after answering a phone call. My husband, the chief of cardiology, was the only surgeon skilled enough to save her life. But he was nowhere to be found. Staring at the operating room doors where she clung to life, I frantically dialed his number. When the line connected, it was his first love who answered. “Hello? Declan is in the shower right now. Can I take a message?” Rage surged through my veins. “Put him on the phon

After being slandered by my professor's wife as an academic seductress, I was cornered in my dorm by a mob of self-righteous students. "She's nothing but a high-end escort. She's a disgrace to this university!" one girl screamed. "Instead of studying, you thought you could sell your body to get ahead? In your dreams, honey," another mocked. They shouted insults while trashing my room, smashing everything in sight. I calmly dialed my father's executive secretary. "Tell my father to find the

As the Quality Control Director for Horizon Imports, my last task before the Thanksgiving break was to oversee the final shipment of King Crabs into the warehouse. The moment I stepped into the deep-freeze vault, set to a bone-chilling eighteen degrees below zero, the heavy steel door slammed shut. I heard the electronic lock engage, and the emergency alarm system went dead. I felt the onset of hypothermia almost immediately. Shivering, I reached into my emergency kit for my chemical heat pads

My father was a highly respected lead detective, and my mother was the head of the Emergency Department, saving lives every day. I, on the other hand, was a regular at the local precinct, known for brawls and petty theft. In the eyes of our neighbors, I was the "worthless child" who would never amount to anything. The first time, I publicly insulted my cousin who had just transferred to my school. My father dragged me to the station in front of all the teachers and students, locking me in a ce

Everyone in the Dragon Shifter clan knew that Baxon, the third prince, loved me more than life itself. When my Ascendance trials came, he shielded me from three lethal bolts of celestial lightning. It cost him a thousand years of his cultivation. To care for his broken body, I gave up my own chance to leap through the Dragon's Gate. I thought we were the ultimate romance. That was until his older brother came to visit him. He sighed and looked at Baxon with pity. "Do you really love that

My boyfriend of ten years, Jaxen, promised he would marry me once he won the world championship. But when he finally stood on that podium, he got down on one knee for another woman. I stood there, eyes burning, asking him why. He didn't even look guilty. "Liana's only dream since we were kids was to have a grand proposal. I'm her brother―what's wrong with making her dream come true? Don't be so selfish, Lyra." I couldn't let it go. That night, I posted the entire ten-year history of our

Silas Sterling―the man who once gave me a world of warmth. Now, because of Bianca White's schemes and lies, he looks at me like I am his greatest enemy. He truly believes the child in my womb is a bastard. "Get out! Get the hell out of here! I don't ever want to see your filthy face again!" Silas's voice was as cold as ice, cutting through me as he held Bianca in his arms. I stumbled toward the door in utter despair. As I collapsed at the top of the stairs, I felt a sharp, tearing pain. I

1. The silver dagger pierced my heart as I watched my sister, Serena, grin like a madwoman. “Don’t blame me, Elena. You stole my title, and then you had the nerve to go after my Alpha” My blood pooled on the pristine marble floor. I collapsed at my own wedding―a lavish ceremony Kaelan had thrown for me on his private island. In the distance, helicopters were still circling, filming the whole thing. How ridiculous. Her so-called Alpha, Kaelan, was the heir to the monstrous Bloodmoon Conglomer

When I was three, my parents cheated on each other over a petty misunderstanding. From that moment on, they became the most notoriously toxic couple in our social circle. To get back at one another, they hurt me without hesitation, using my pain as a weapon to wound each other. Over the next five years, my mother broke my bones three separate times. My father deliberately abandoned me in crowded streets five times, and once, during a screaming match, they even threw me into the ocean. Eventua

My wife's young protégé loved to brag about his "sixth sense" for bomb disposal. He claimed he could feel the wires with his eyes closed. But his intuition failed him, and he accidentally triggered the secondary detonation sequence. I stepped in at the last second, using a high-risk cryogenic freezing technique to save the entire skyscraper. Because of his lethal mistake, the kid, Mason, was stripped of his field duties and suspended. My wife tried to argue for him, but I blocked her. "If

On my wedding day, my fiancé was caught in a heated affair with my sister, Lauren, in the dressing room. Everyone saw them. I became the biggest joke in the city. But then, my childhood friend, Liam Lucas, stood up in front of everyone and proposed to me, protecting my dignity with high-profile grace. After we married, he treated me like a queen. He was attentive and obedient in every way. The only downside was our struggle in the bedroom. He seemed to lack the strength, and our intimacy was

After graduation, the school's queen bee forced me into a bet with our grades as the stakes. "Only the girl with the higher score is worthy of being Lucas's girlfriend!" she declared. Lucas Everett heard this and let out a cold laugh. "Cut it out, Macy. You don't get to decide who I love!" After saying that, he confessed his feelings to me in front of everyone. I thought it was the beautiful echo of a secret crush. Amidst the cheers of our classmates, I blushed and said yes. That night, he

Chapter 1 Xavier Blackwood's childhood sweetheart didn't want to be tied down by marriage. The night before their engagement, she ran away. Later, he got engaged to me because I looked seventy percent like her. At the ceremony, he didn't kneel and ask, "Will you marry me?" Instead, he whispered, "When she comes back, you have to give this spot back to her." From that day on, I became a mere shadow of his first love. Everyone looked down on me, laughing behind my back about how I was Xavie

1 Right when I was about to get a lung transplant to save my life, my mother stopped the surgeon. As the Chief of Medicine, she demanded the donor lung be reserved for my younger sister, Chelsea, who only had mild pneumonia. I begged Mom to give it back to me. I had end-stage tuberculosis, and this was my final chance at survival. Mom just looked at me with cold eyes. "You've been infected for years. Waiting a little longer won't kill you!" "What if Chelsea's condition gets worse? Can you t

After three years of marriage, my wife finally got pregnant. I was thrilled and prepared a romantic candlelit dinner to celebrate. That night, I got strangely wasted and forced myself on her, causing her to lose our hard-earned baby. After that tragedy, my wife could never conceive again. Later on, she wanted to adopt a little girl, and I agreed without hesitation. Ever since that fateful night, she never let me touch her again. I thought she was simply traumatized by the loss. But on our a

Everyone knew my husband, Hayes, loved me to his core. After my car accident, he never left my side. He even wrote a will, ready to follow me to the grave when the doctor issued the critical condition notice. But right after I lost our baby in that crash, strange lines of text started floating before my eyes. "The supporting actress is so pathetic. She's still touched by the lead's love." "She has no idea he bribed the doctors to harvest her bone marrow for the real heroine." "Yeah, the

1 The weekend was approaching when my two older brothers left our blind grandfather stranded at the train station. Grandpa panicked when he couldn't find them. He suffered a sudden heart attack and died before I could even reach him for a final goodbye. At the same time, my social media feed was blowing up with news of my brothers getting into a fistfight over a girl. They had abandoned our helpless grandfather just to fight over who would get to take our childhood friend on a weekend trip.

Chapter 1 The Tenth Engagement Party, and My Boyfriend Let Me Down All Over Again He had his dream girl. And this time, I didn't love him anymore. By the time I finally let someone new into my heart, my boyfriend was the one full of regret. At my tenth engagement party, my boyfriend still didn't hand me the ring. Ten years of dating. Ten engagement parties. Every single time we reached the ring exchange, he was waiting for his dream girl to burst through the doors and stop the wedding. He

On our wedding day, my fiancée climbed into her ex-boyfriend's bridal car and made outrageous demands. The entire venue fell dead silent as guests whipped out their phones, waiting to record me becoming the biggest laughingstock in town. Instead, I unpinned the groom's boutonnière from my chest and tossed it straight through the driver's window. "What are you waiting for, groom? Hit the gas! Everyone is waiting for the reception dinner!" 1 "The bride is in the car!" The moment I stepped ou
