All works

I was kidnapped. For two months, I was tortured inhumanly. I called the man I had loved for ten years, the man I was about to walk down the aisle with. I called my fiancé for help. But all he said were three cold words. "Stop pretending." But when I was marrying another man, he came to me, crying, saying he regretted everything. When they found me, my face and body were a bloody mess. You could hardly tell what I used to look like. I was covered in filth, reeking of sweat and grime. At

My sister-in-law, Melanie, was a fanatic when it came to calorie counting. Even when my little niece was still on formula, Melanie would only feed her half the recommended amount. As a professional child development specialist, I used to advise her on the importance of balanced nutrition―neither overfeeding nor starving. Following my advice in my past life, my niece, Chloe, grew up healthy and strong. But every time Chloe faced a minor setback, Melanie would brainwash her. "You were me

My stepbrother is a sociopath. The day before my SATs, he poisoned my milk with a potent herbicide. I collapsed during the exam, vomiting uncontrollably. The doctors said if they rushed me to the ICU and pumped my stomach immediately, I might have a chance. My father said I was being dramatic. My stepmother said it was a waste of money. And my grandmother, she just lied through her teeth. “She’s faking it because she doesn’t want to take the test!” “I saw her myself, fooling around with som

1 My best friend, Chloe, was nursing a broken heart, and her remedy? A night at a male escort club. I was there for moral support, mostly to stop her from doing anything too crazy. The door across the hall was ajar. I saw my boyfriend, Ethan, wrapped around a girl, lost in a passionate kiss. The girl looked up, and her features… they were eerily similar to my own, years ago. Later, people would laugh at Ethan. "Sarah's having her second kid, and he's still not over her." …… "The faster I re

On the day Vanessa remarried her ex-husband, they just happened to hail my taxi. She sat in the back, speaking gently to her ex-husband, "Let's not announce our remarriage just yet. Wait until I break up with Luke." I had been with her for seven years. Just a few days ago, she had agreed to marry me by the end of the year. I didn't make a scene. I just silently gave up on saving money for our wedding, went back to my hometown, and married the girl who actually loved me. Later, when she heard

I pursued Nina for seven years, and I finally thought she was mine. But while I stood alone at our engagement party, she was jetting off to another country with her celebrity ex to get him treatment. To protect him from a media scandal, Nina cut off all contact with everyone we knew. I searched for her, country after country. Finally, on a romantic island getaway, I found her, lying in the arms of that same celebrity, Kai Steele, whispering sweet nothings to each other. When I tried to conf

On the day of my birthday, my husband was at a winery, opening a million-dollar bottle of vintage wine to celebrate his beautiful assistant's promotion. He even posted about it, with the caption: "After this toast, you're my person now." I commented "congrats," and the post was immediately deleted. My husband, Kael, called me, furious. "Can you stop being so dramatic?" "I was just rewarding an employee! You're such a buzzkill!" A moment later, the assistant's profile picture changed to a ph

On our wedding anniversary, my wife's assistant went viral for a series of paintings titled "Willow." The internet exploded with congratulations. At the same time, the assistant updated his social media with a new post. The caption read: "You are the best gift." I looked at the picture. It was my wife, wrapped up like a present. I calmly replied to her last text: "Divorce." In the five years we'd been married, Willow had never once agreed to be my model. She never planned any surprises for

The year I turned sixty, my daughter and my wife took my pension, falsely claimed I was insane, and had me committed to a psych ward. My daughter said, "Don't blame me for being cruel. Mom doesn't have much time left. I have to make her dream of being with her first love come true." My wife said, "Finally, I'm free of you. I've waited forty years for this day." After they left, the despair broke me. I died less than a year later. When I opened my eyes again, I was back, one month before my w

At a temple outside the capital, I spent five years as Hayden Thorne's secret lover, waiting for the day he would renounce his vows and marry me. But at the feast celebrating his return to secular life, another woman appeared. People whispered that she was Princess Coralia, the woman who had once rejected Hayden's proposal to be married off for a political alliance. Hayden kissed me in front of everyone. "What are you," he sneered at her, "that you dare to show your face in front of my Elara?

1 When my folks finally found me at the hospital, I was a mess. Not a single patch of skin that wasn't bruised or cut. "Who... who are you? Stay away from me!" Seeing me cowering in the corner of the room, Mom finally broke down, tears streaming down her face. "Honey, it's Mom!" I shook my head, fear clawing at my throat. "That's not true! The guys who kidnapped me said my parents would rather watch their adopted daughter dance ballet than believe I was taken. You're not my real parents." "D

I was two months pregnant. My health was failing, so I had no choice but to quit my job to save the baby. Julian, my husband, told me that even during pregnancy, we couldn't abandon our 50/50 split. He insisted I pay $3,000 a month for groceries until the day I gave birth. The very next day, his first lover, Gemma, posted a flashy update on social media. "Six years of knowing each other. Someone bought me this Birkin to make me smile." In the photo, the man’s hand holding the bag was wearing

My sister stole my winning lottery ticket and took her boyfriend on vacation. But that was the money for our mother's life-saving surgery. I begged her to bring it back, but she never answered. Her boyfriend just sent a single, breezy text: "The money's gone." I tried to call again, but they had both blocked my number. A few days later, my mother, having lost all hope, jumped from the roof of the hospital so she wouldn't be a burden to me. As she fell, my sister and her boyfriend were on a

The day before our divorce was finalized, my husband, Jensen, got drunk, fell, and hit his head. He woke up with amnesia. The doctor said he only remembered the past five years. Looking at the man whose eyes were full of nothing but me, I just felt... empty. Five years ago, Jensen would have died for me.

After seven years with Sierra Shen, I got a call from a wedding planner asking about my preferences for the ceremony’s decor. I thought the woman who never believed in marriage had finally changed her mind and was about to propose to me. But when I went to bring her lunch, I found an invitation on her desk. It had her name on it, next to the name of her male secretary. He had even posted about it on social media, gloating, “Thanks to CEO Shen for breaking her own rules for me and making my l

I had spent two whole years playing nursemaid to Caleb Sterling's little sister. Finally, he decided it was time to put a ring on my finger. I was floating on cloud nine as I went to pick out my wedding dress. But when I went to find him after my fitting, I overheard a phone call between him and Mandy Sutton. "I know you're only marrying that bitch Nora Vance because you have to for Cassie's sake, but it still hurts," Mandy whined. She wouldn't stop complaining, but Caleb just listened with

I arrived at the Bvlgari Hotel, flowers in hand, only to be met with a roar of laughter. Sienna Vance smirked, her voice dripping with amusement. "See, girls? I won the bet again." "That makes ninety-nine times I've rejected Nathan Cole's proposal." It was a game to her, a bet with her friends. She was betting I would propose a hundred times without giving up. Her friends called me a pathetic simp, a man with no dignity, all for a woman who treated me like dirt. But this time, they were wr

I never understood why my older sister, Sera, fell so deeply in love with Kaelen. That was until I saw him presiding over the Lycan ritual, bathed in the silver glow of the Full Moon, looking like a god descended to earth. From that moment on, I couldn't tear my eyes away from him. For years, I tried everything to make him break his sacred vow of celibacy and choose me, but he never truly accepted or rejected me. Then, five years later, he returned from the Royal Pack House and suddenly

He came home from the college reunion, but his underwear was missing. When I asked him about it, he just yelled at me not to bother him with petty shit. A second later, a notification popped up on my phone. His old flame had just posted an update. "Reunited and it feels so good. Time to set off some fireworks." The photo showed Jenna, wrapped in a fluffy hotel bathrobe, flashing a peace sign. Behind her, a man stood with his back to the camera, a towel wrapped around his waist, drying his h

My sister-in-law was diagnosed with a severe anxiety disorder. My fiancé, Silas, was the only one who could calm her down. Everyone told me to step aside. So I did. I broke off our engagement and married Julian Croft, the heir to a massive fortune who had been secretly in love with me for years. After five years of a blissful marriage, I thought I had finally found my happy ending. Until I overheard him talking to his friends. "Seraphina is a top supermodel now. Are you going to keep up this
