All works

My father is paralyzed, trapped in a hospital bed. His life's work―an AI model designed to conquer terminal illness―was stolen and published under someone else's name. The humiliation was too much for him. He suffered a massive stroke. Now, he can't speak. He can't even hold a pen to write. I swore to find the thief. My girlfriend, Scarlett, cried as she promised to help me uncover the truth. But tonight, at a fancy dinner, her "golden boy" bragged about being recruited into a prestigious n

I am dead. My son, the child I had with Silas Sterling, was left all alone in the city of Chicago. It happened because I made a complete fool of myself at that high-society gala, screaming and causing a scene. Silas had finally reached his limit and decided to divorce me. What he didn't know was that I was out of time. My clock had run out. 1 At the busy Chicago Greyhound station, little Andy dragged his short legs, struggling to climb onto the bus. I could only watch, a weightless spirit

1 My sister and Logan had been rivals for over a decade. Every time they met, they would snap at each other's throats. He was the Battalion Chief at the fire station, and she was the PR officer for the same department. I was the only one who could make either of them back down. Our friends used to joke about it. They called me the only person capable of taming the two lions. When I was six months pregnant, I was tidying up Logan's gear in our apartment. I happened to find a locked wooden box

At a small gathering with friends, my husband Grant's best friend asked him a question in French. "Your little side piece is two months pregnant. How are you going to handle it?" Grant's lips curled into a smile. He leaned in and tenderly peeled a shrimp for me, placing it on my plate. Then, he replied in effortless French. "Leila doesn't like kids. I'll let Karina have the baby and then send them abroad. I need to keep the family line going, after all." I chewed the shrimp, but tears began

Chapter 1 Right before our wedding, my fiancé's first love was forced into an arranged marriage with Manhattan's most notorious playboy to save her family. Lucas couldn't bear to see her suffer, so he crashed her wedding and stole the bride. They even signed a marriage license that very day in front of everyone. All of high society was waiting to laugh at me and the Mercer family. Yet the next morning, the Mercer family's only heir blocked my office entrance with his Bugatti. "Your fiancé

1 Three hours before my wedding, my fiancé called to say he wasn't coming. He'd just gone and gotten a marriage license with Ashley Miller, of all people. I stood there, feeling the judging stares of our guests, when suddenly the hotel doors swung open. It was my fiancé's uncle, Greg, and he was leading the most insane procession of limousines I'd ever seen. He presented me with a bouquet of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine red roses, telling me he'd been secretly crushing on me for

1 My daughter intentionally flipped the plate I spent an hour preparing onto the floor. She sneered, saying my cooking was trash and couldn't even compare to her father's little mistress. When her father came home, he didn't even ask what happened before he started screaming at me. He accused me of being a bully and picking on a helpless child. Sienna immediately scurried into the mistress's arms, sticking her tongue out at me. "You're so annoying, no wonder Daddy doesn't love you!" she sh

I worked as a blind massage therapist. Because I was good with my hands, I had a lot of regulars who booked private home sessions. The tips were always incredible. People tend to be generous when they think you can't see the life they're living. Then, one day, my sight suddenly returned. It was a miracle I couldn't explain. I thought about telling the world, but then I realized I was making three times more money than a sighted therapist. I decided to keep up the act. But that one choice led

1 To protect his precious childhood sweetheart, my husband forced me to act as her decoy to lure out a psychopathic killer. I told him I didn't want to go. He stroked my face with chilling affection. "If you don't go, I'll pull the plug on your mother's ventilator," he said in a freezing tone. Later, I was stabbed twenty times and left to die in that dark alley. When the police called him to identify my body, he just sneered. "Useless. She couldn't even stop a freak! Stop faking, Lyra. Get

Chapter 1 Gavin Sterling, the man I was currently in a cold war with, just posted on Instagram. "Giving away a breakup cash gift to the first hundred people who like this." In an instant, ninety-nine people had already liked and shared it. I knew exactly what he was doing. He was waiting for me to cave, just like the ten times before, begging him to delete the post. But this time, I didn't cry. I simply hit share and added a comment. "Count me in." Then, I blocked every single one of hi

When the landslide hit, Chloe and I fell down the mountain together. My boyfriend grabbed Chloe, put her on his back, and walked away right in front of me. He left me there all alone. Everyone rushed to get Chloe to the hospital, completely ignoring me. When someone finally saved me and brought me to the hospital, my boyfriend didn't visit me even once. But when I finally stopped loving him, he cried with red eyes and told me he loved me. Chapter 1 When the landslide happened, I was stand

1 I was a twin, but my parents only favored my sister, Sarah. They said I wasn't as well-behaved or obedient as her, and that the money I earned should be spent on her. They said I was the older sister, so I should always give way to her. Given a second chance at life, I chose to be obedient and give Sarah everything she wanted. This time, I would live only for myself. ... I was reborn, back to the day before my senior year internship interview at Golden Horizon. "Ashley," Dad said, standing

1 On our eighth wedding anniversary, my husband sent me a puppy as a gift. Instead of a thank-you note, I sent him divorce papers the moment I was discharged from the ICU. Sienna, my husband's little plaything, gripped my hand and sobbed. "Mrs. Miller, it was all my idea. Please don't be angry with Jace over such a small thing." Jace Miller gently wiped away her tears, then turned to me with a deep frown. "Don't be so childish, Jane. You're thirty years old. Why are you picking a fight wit

1. Leaving her studio in Manhattan’s SoHo district, Evelyn Reed was surprised to see her husband’s car. He was supposed to be taking his investor's sister to the hospital. But seeing their hands clasped together, Evelyn knew. Her marriage was over. The moment his eyes met hers, Graham Hayes’s body went rigid. He instantly let go of the other woman’s hand. “Done with work? Get in, I’ll take you home.” Evelyn pulled open the passenger door of the Mercedes S-Class and locked eyes with the girl

For the sake of a socialite like Lana, the Crown Prince actually proposed taking two wives during the royal gala. I refused to degrade myself. Instead, I turned around and married Sean Sterling, a man who had been infatuated with me for years. After our wedding, we were the picture of a perfect couple, living in what I thought was harmony. It wasn't until I struggled through a difficult pregnancy that I discovered the truth. The red coral bracelet he gave me wasn't a gift of love. It was

My son's heart transplant was scheduled for tomorrow. But a woman in a custom designer gown blocked the delivery of the donor organ. She held a Golden Retriever on a leash and threw ten thousand dollars in cash at my face. "I'm taking this heart. My fur baby has a cardiac condition, too. Take the money and get lost!" I stared at her, unable to process such insanity. "This heart is for my son. How can you compare a dog's life to a human's?" "Besides, a human heart can't even be transplant

My mother-in-law and I gave birth on the exact same day in the same hospital. Secretly, she swapped her newborn baby girl with mine. Afterward, she subjected my supposed daughter to unimaginable abuse, forcing her to sleep in a muddy barn stall, eat pig slop, and eventually even broke both of her legs. Meanwhile, my husband and I poured every cent we had into raising her biological daughter to become a glamorous Hollywood star. When her daughter landed her first major movie contract worth fi

I am a national-level artifact restorer. To save a one-of-a-kind treasure, the government granted me a top-tier, climate-controlled laboratory. It was for my eyes only. The security system was linked directly to the National Bureau of Cultural Relics. Any breach would trigger a maximum-level alert. After the handover, I left a spare key at my fiancé Hunter Sterling's villa. I wanted him to check the security regularly while I was away. Then, I received an emergency call. The newly unearthed

The night before our wedding, Caleb's inner circle gathered for a wild celebration. His female best friend, Riley, handed me a gift that made my blood run cold. Inside the box was a full set of elaborate kinky toys. Seeing my face pale, Riley let out a loud, boisterous laugh. "Elara, don't you dare go easy on him. Caleb might act like a cold, disciplined surgeon during the day, but he's a total beast in bed." "Back in January, he used just three of these things on me and sent me straight to

It was my first day after giving birth, and I was burning up with a 102-degree fever. My consciousness was fading into a blur of heat and pain. Meanwhile, my husband, Hudson Sterling, was in his late wife's memorial room. He spent the entire night 'grieving' with her twin sister. I used the last of my strength to push open the heavy oak door. I caught them wrapped in each other's arms, their clothes in complete disarray. The sister, Sylvia, looked horrified as she fell to her knees, weeping.
