All works

On the eve of our wedding, my fiancée snuck off to a wild bachelorette party without telling me. I stayed up waiting for her past midnight. Instead of her coming home, I received a video call from her first love. On the screen, Rowan was curled up delicately in Tristan's arms. He suddenly looked down at her and asked, "Rowan, if I crash the wedding tomorrow and take you away, will you leave with me?" Without a second of hesitation, she answered, "In a heartbeat!" A chorus of drunken cheers

1 Ugh, the week before the SATs, my freakin' sister posed as me and wrote a love letter to the star quarterback. He called me out, cold. "Seriously? Gross." I was the laughingstock of the whole damn school, bullied for a solid month. And on the day of the SATs, my right hand got slammed in a door �C on "accident," of course. I sat there in the exam hall, trying to write with my left hand, barely even finished half the sections. Then I got pushed down the stairs after school �C and died. On

1 My fiancée, Lynnea Sinclair, ended up in the emergency room at midnight with severe food poisoning from wild mushrooms. In her delirium, she blurted out, "Preston, I am so sorry. If I hadn't been broke back then, I never would have stayed with Heath." Heath was me. Preston Crawford was the unattainable first love she never got over. Eight years ago, when the Sinclair family stood on the brink of bankruptcy, Preston abandoned her and fled overseas without looking back. I was the one who wo

Chapter 1 During a game of Truth or Dare, my boyfriend's childhood friend lost a round. Her penalty was to pick a guy in the room and date him for a month. Without hesitation, she chose my boyfriend. Zach didn't even flinch. He just smiled at me casually and said, "It is just a game, Hadley. Don't be a buzzkill." The entire VIP room erupted in cheers. "What is the first thing a new couple does?" someone shouted. "Make out!" "Kiss her!" "At least five minutes!" I didn't scream or make a

I fell in love with my therapist. Everyone warned me she was a player who toyed with men's hearts and never caught real feelings. Yet she treated me differently, cooking meals in an apron and whispering sweet comforts into the dead of night. Recently, she even told me she wanted to have a baby with me. I genuinely believed I was her one exception. That was until I found the hidden medical chart in her bookshelf. The photograph attached showed a boy who looked uncannily like me. Only then

At the welcome-back gala for her first love, the high-society heiress wanted nothing more than to make him smile. To please him, she forced me―fresh off the operating table―to down an entire glass of hard liquor. Agonizing pain tore through my lower abdomen. Yet, surrounded by the drunken cheers of her elite friends, she was too busy feeding her first love mouth-to-mouth. As darkness pulled me under, I heard her cold, disdainful scoff. "Don't mind him. He is just a pet songbird I keep aroun

My boyfriend's twisted little game forced me to commute to work without any panties on. On the crowded subway, a complete stranger groped me, and the sickest part was that my body actually reacted. I never imagined that when I walked into the office, that pervert would turn out to be my new boss. The moment his burning gaze locked onto mine, I knew my life was over. 1. My name is Raine, and I just graduated from college. Thanks to my decent looks, I landed an assistant job at a massive cor

1 I'd begged my husband, Alex Qin, for six months to take me to this concert. I waited at the airport until they announced the final boarding call, but Alex was nowhere to be seen. I called him countless times; no answer. Then I saw a post from Sarah Shen on my social media feed. The caption read, "Thanks to someone who stayed up two nights in a row and still came to watch the esports tournament with me!" The picture showed her and Alex embracing and giving the peace sign at the esports aren

It was New Year’s Eve. I let the entire company off three hours early today so I could get home before our celebratory dinner and decorate our little place with my fiancé. As I was packing up my things, my assistant leaned over my desk with a bright grin. “Wait, Ms. Ward is actually leaving early today?” “I thought I’d be stuck in meetings with you all night and have to cancel my date.” I slipped on my wool coat and teased back, “Got a special guy waiting for you?” Her eyes lit up, and she

On the night of our engagement party, my fiancée was passionately kissing her childhood sweetheart under the maple tree we had planted together. I looked down at my paralyzed legs in the wheelchair, quietly slipped off the engagement ring, and wished them a lifetime of happiness. Yet she thought I was just making an unreasonable scene. "I only stopped to pick up Zachary and was a few hours late. What are you throwing a tantrum for?" "Who was the one begging on their knees for this engagement

1 The day I was supposed to get married, my fiancé, Mark. Right there, in front of everyone, he announced he'd already tied the knot with Sarah. Yeah, Sarah. It was like a bad soap opera, the whole crowd buzzing, pointing, and laughing at me. Just when I thought I'd sink through the floor, Jake, my best friend since kindergarten, got down on one knee. He pulled out this gorgeous ring, all emotional, and asked me to marry him. I was such a mess, I just nodded, tears streaming down my face. I fig

Tonight, my wife was supposedly working late at the office, so I was ready to enjoy some quiet video game time at home. Suddenly, my Tesla app sent an urgent alert to my phone: 【Abnormal vehicle vibration detected. Please check immediately.】 Following the GPS tracker, I drove down to the underground parking garage beneath her office building. Through the shadows, I saw my wife sweating heavily inside the car with her personal fitness trainer. My vision went black with rage, but right then,

On our tenth wedding anniversary, my husband unveiled his newest masterpiece at a high-profile jewelry gala. Amid gasps of awe from the crowd, he slipped the dazzling diamond ring onto the finger of his first love. "Years ago, I owed you a grand wedding," he said into the microphone. "Let this make up for the regrets of our past." The multimillion-dollar ring was named "Endless Devotion," and her initials were engraved right onto the platinum band. Meanwhile, that very morning, the anniversa

When my mother-in-law was admitted to the hospital with advanced cancer, I went to pay for her emergency surgery. That was when I discovered our entire life savings had been wiped out. My wife had handed every last cent to her club-boy lover to pay off his gambling debts. I completely lost my temper. “Your mother is lying in a hospital bed, and you gave our money to a worthless gigolo,” I shouted, my hands shaking. “Have you lost your damn mind, Fiona?” Fiona Shaw sat on the sofa, calmly fol

Five years of dating, and he chooses to propose to his childhood sweetheart. He even had the nerve to suggest we keep our little arrangement going on the side. A cold laugh escaped my lips. If you're so eager to crawl back into the dumpster, I'll be happy to escort you there myself. I cut off every cent of funding I'd been funneling into his life, and he was on his knees begging for my forgiveness within hours. Too bad for him. There's plenty more fish in the sea, and most of them don't ha

1 Last time around, my little sister got snatched by a kidnapper and suddenly, BAM, she unlocks this whole swap-souls system thing. She switches bodies with me. I'm the one stuck in some gross pen, treated like garbage, while she's living it up in my skin, getting double the love from Mom and Dad. Ten years later, they find me, and she pulls the system card again, switching us back. She throws herself into Mom and Dad's arms, crying, claiming I was the reason she got kidnapped. Then, Mom an

I had been the secret wife of Austin Hayes, the crown prince of the city's elite, for three whole years. At tonight’s anniversary gala, I was finally ready to make our marriage public. Then his beloved first love, Savannah Cole, burst into the grand ballroom with her collar torn and tears streaming down her face. “Austin, save me! Lila brought her broke, filthy brother here, and he just cornered me in the VIP lounge and tried to force himself on me!” “He said since he’s your brother-in-law, I

1 The day my fiancée faked amnesia, she dragged me to City Hall and turned our brand-new marriage certificate into a divorce decree. Two days later, the wedding I'd meticulously planned went off without a hitch. The bride was still her, but the groom was her on-again, off-again ex. The next time I saw her, eyes red-rimmed, she grabbed my arm. "Jake, where have you been? Why haven't you called?" I gave her a blank stare, like she was a complete stranger. "Excuse me, do I know you?" ... "Ja

When my family went bankrupt, Pierce Montgomery put me on the high-stakes gambling table as a wager against his greatest rival. He looked at the man across the table and smiled coldly. "My little niece here is accomplished, educated, and used to be New York's most coveted heiress." "If you win this hand, she's yours." Then, right before my eyes, I watched him palm a card and deliberately throw the game. He was my father's sworn brother, my adoptive uncle. I had loved him for ten years, and h

We were married for eight years, yet my wife never let me touch her once. She always claimed she was completely asexual. That was until the day I stumbled upon a hidden folder on her laptop. Inside were dozens of intimate photos of her and another man. They had been secretly meeting up every single month behind my back. When I confronted her, a vicious fight broke out. She shoved me hard, sending me crashing into the corner of the glass coffee table, and I bled out on the floor. When I woke
