All works

At the engagement party, my fiancée held hands with a young pretty boy and broke off our engagement in front of everyone. Rosalyn Lockwood sneered, "Landon, being with you suffocates me." "Only when I am with a young guy like Kayden do I truly feel my heart beating." I laughed. Everything she had―was there a single thing not given to her by my family? Suffocating? Then stop breathing. Cannot feel your heart beat? Then let it stop! My younger sister: "Anyone who dares to sign with the Lock

I had been married to Seraphina Sinclair, the CEO of the world's most prestigious e-sports club, for three years under a private contract. To prove I was worthy of her, I endured constant bullying from my teammates and single-handedly carried the entire squad to the Global Finals. But the night before the championship, the very men who had tormented me were in my wife's bed. Seraphina forced me to hold the camera and record her having her way with them. "I'm just rewarding your teammates for

The fertility clinic called to notify me that the embryo culture was successful. They asked when I could come in for the transfer. I touched my lower abdomen, where the numbness from the anesthesia was just starting to fade. I had just undergone egg retrieval this morning. Even with the most advanced medical technology, things couldn't possibly move this fast. I was about to call them back to get some answers, but my husband stopped me. "My mother is pressuring us, so I pulled some strings

Woken up by the sound of our baby boy crying from hunger, I gently nudged my sleeping wife. "It is time to feed the baby," I whispered. Roxanne rolled over, her voice dripping with irritation. "My milk supply is low. Go mix him a bottle of formula." I carried our son into the living room to soothe him, holding him in one arm while shaking the formula bottle with the other. As little Leo gulped down the milk, a sudden realization hit me. Roxanne had not nursed him in weeks. Yet just last nig

Ten years into our marriage, my wife's assistant, Chase, posted a screenshot on social media showing a fifty-two thousand dollar transfer. His caption read: 【Best boss in the world, love you forever!】 Without overthinking, I left a calm comment under his post: "Keep working hard. You earned every penny." Barely thirty seconds later, my wife called and screamed at me through the speaker. "Are you out of your mind? That was Chase's legitimate year-end bonus! Why are you threatening him?" "Nei

On the day our massive bid was won, my girlfriend wanted to pad her first love's resume. She ordered me to put his name on the project I had bled for over the past six months, claiming she was just "lightening my load." Instead of getting mad, I laughed and handed over the entire proposal to him. "Why stop at adding your name? From now on, you are the sole lead on this project!" Everyone in the office thought I had completely lost my mind. None of them knew that I was the only person who he

1 Five years of marriage to Caleb Sterling, and he still hated my guts. He didn't just hate me. At the behest of his precious Lucia Rossi, he had me beaten until I was hospitalized. Then, he forced me into that cold operating room to end my pregnancy. He did it because he loathed the idea of a child carrying my genes. Even my own brother, Xavier Vance, turned against me because of Lucia's lies. To top it all off, they framed me for Lucia's crime and threw me into a cage. I endured

On my twentieth birthday, my parents laid out photos of the most elite socialites in the country. They wanted me to pick a wife to secure our family's legacy. In my past life, I chose Joelle Jones without a second thought. I had been head over heels for her since we were kids. But after the wedding, I realized I had walked into a nightmare. Her true love, Kian Vance, had been so devastated by our marriage that he went on a bender at a dive bar. He got into a fight, and a thug sliced the tendon

As New Year's Eve approached, my new boyfriend, Gavin, suggested we spend the holidays in a remote town in Mexico. "I've heard that area is pretty dangerous lately. Maybe we should pick somewhere else？" I tried to reason with him. He didn't seem to care at all. "Don't worry, that's just talk. If anything happens, I'll protect you！" Watching him excitedly plan the itinerary, I kept my mouth shut. I never imagined that the moment we arrived, he would shove me into the back of a van. "Boss, I

On the eve of our engagement party, Chelsea finally agreed to wear my grandmother's heirloom silk gown after six months of begging. Yet hours into the banquet, she still had not shown up. While desperately dialing her number, I stumbled upon a post from her childhood best friend: "Someone worked days of overtime on a business trip, but still came to the pool with me just because I asked." Attached was a selfie of him and Chelsea in the pool. The fabric of her swimsuit looked sickeningly fam

On our fiftieth wedding anniversary, my husband bought me a mini bundt cake. My daughter-in-law saw it and made a snide remark. "You tell me you have no money when I want a Birkin bag, but you suddenly have cash for a cake." My son frowned and sided with his wife to criticize us. "Keep eating! When you get diabetes, no one will take care of you!" My grandchildren bluntly said they would throw us back to the countryside if we got sick. "They are just burdens to our family anyway." My heart

I held the exclusive state college recommendation letter in my hand and bowed deeply to the admissions director. "Thank you, Mr. Henderson. I will report on time next week!" In my past life, I gave up this rare opportunity just to marry Derek Mitchell. It was only after we got married that I found out he had already secretly pledged his life to Amber Collins. He only married me because of pressure from his family. From then on, he treated me as the culprit who ruined their happiness. When

Right after I gave birth, I didn't even get a chance to look at my baby. Jasper Sterling snatched him from my arms and handed him to his childhood sweetheart. "Liana's body is too weak to conceive. Just give the child to her," he said coldly. "It's not a big deal. You can just have another one later." I lunged forward to grab my son back, but Jasper's men dragged me out and threw me onto the street in front of the hospital. I was so weak I could barely stand, yet I was left to survive on my

On Valentine’s night, I received an urgent call from the ER. A man and a woman had gotten carried away during an intense session and were stuck together in a critical medical emergency. I sped twenty miles through the night to get there. Just outside the trauma bay, I heard my wife sobbing from behind the curtain. “Are we going to die?” A man’s voice comforted her with sickening tenderness. Through the thin surgical drape, the sound of them passionately kissing echoed in the room. I didn't

Jake Callahan was always one for the grand gestures. I mean, all I did was meet the girl, and the next thing I know, he's trying to run me over with his damn car. I couldn't help but ask, "So, you're that into her?" Jake just gave me this icy stare and said, "She'd take a bullet for me. Would you?" I just laughed, a short, bitter sound.

Three days before our wedding, I found out Ethan Sterling moved the venue. He changed it from my late Nana's garden in Georgia to a luxury castle in Spain. It wasn't for me, but because his childhood friend, Layla Thorne, loved it. I went to confront him, but I heard him complaining to his friends in his office. "Thank God Layla has some taste," he said. "Otherwise, I'd be the laughingstock of the city for the rest of my life." His friend reminded him, "Didn't you promise Willow you'd

1. I gave Jack Callahan ten years of my life. From twenty to thirty, I spent the best decade of my life as his shadow. I picked out his suits for promotion dinners, planned the key points for every one of his briefings, and managed his entire messy social network. I even gave up three opportunities to advance my own career at the Pentagon for him. Everyone in our circle said that I, Grace Miller, was lucky to be marrying Jack, the youngest and most legendary Captain in Delta Force. But I ne

1. When my asthma attack hit, Julian was in the center of the ballroom, slow-dancing with his blonde secretary. My chest tightened, and I struggled to breathe. I fumbled for my inhaler, my vision blurring from the lack of oxygen. Yet, that man didn't even glance my way. He kept his arm wrapped around her waist, whispering something into her ear that made her giggle. It was as if I didn't exist. On the ride home, I opened the glove compartment and found a Tiffany diamond ring box. Before I

Childhood sweethearts, shattered by a shiny newcomer. On our eighth wedding anniversary, she promised to fly overseas with me to see a world-renowned ear specialist. She knew it was my last shot at restoring my hearing. Yet the moment Landon called, she dumped me without hesitation. Later, I saw Landon's post on social media: 【Best boss ever. Thanks for keeping me warm in this unfamiliar city.】 The attached picture showed my wife, Valerie, holding hands with him, their fingers tightly inter

1. They call Sebastian Sterling the cold-blooded shark of Wall Street, which explains why he postponed our wedding nine fucking times, always using some merger or acquisition as an excuse. He didn't care that I was the laughingstock of every charity gala in the Hamptons. Even when it was my mother's last wish from her hospice bed, his answer was always the same. "Nora, the market's insane right now. I can't get away." Only after my mother passed away, full of regret, did Sebastian finally s
