All works

1 The day before my wedding, Mom walked in on my fiancé, Brad, getting way too cozy with my best friend, Tiffany. It triggered a massive heart attack, and she needed a transplant, pronto. Luckily, we were a match, so I made the call �C I'd give Mom my heart, and I'd get a mechanical one. But here's the kicker: surgery was gonna cost a fortune. I begged Brad for help, but he claimed he was strapped for cash. Then, he turns around and marries Tiffany. Real stand-up guy, huh? Just when I was at

1 They called me a murderer, and my fiancé, the man I thought I'd spend my life with, was the one who'd put me in jail. Today was the day of the live-streamed public trial �C the day they were going to execute me. He was there, of course. My former love, pushing for the harshest sentence. He'd even called for a Memory Extraction �C a brand new tech that can literally read your thoughts, pulling your memories out and displaying them. He wanted to ensure I'd pay for what I'd done. But what they

1 Beckett Thorne forced me to peel mangoes for his precious first love, Vivian Vance, despite knowing I was deathly allergic. Later, my skin broke out in hives, and I struggled to draw a single breath. I grabbed his hem, pleading with every ounce of strength I had left. "Beckett, please... take me to the hospital. I think I'm dying..." But because of a petty joke from Vivian, he intentionally locked me inside the VIP lounge. "Fine. I'll come back tomorrow to see if you're actually dead."

The city of Seattle was in a state of absolute chaos. A serial killer who had been on the run for six years was finally caught. Every reporter in town, including myself, was drawn to this explosive story like a moth to a flame. But besides that monster, there was one other person who held the city’s attention. Lucas Nolan. He was the only survivor who had ever escaped the killer’s blades. 1 Early morning. An explosive news alert hit every phone in the city. Finn Lee, the man who had murd

Chapter 1 At our seventh engagement party, Zackary Taylor was about to abandon me for his childhood sweetheart yet again. We had been together for ten years. This was our seventh attempt at an engagement. Every single time, something happened to his precious Cynthia Young. This time, I couldn't help but try to stop him. "We are seconds away from exchanging rings. It won't take long," I whispered. "She only has a slight fever. Can't it wait an hour?" Zackary's face instantly darkened with

I died in that windowless storage closet. The sound of my skull cracking still echoes deep within my ears. Liam’s fist, Linda’s sneer, Arthur’s back turning as he locked the door―those memories are like rusted nails driven into my mind. I am Elena. In my past life, I emptied my savings to buy a condo in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, putting the title in Liam’s name. I thought that was love. It turned into a sanctuary for his family of six, while I was nothing more than a worker ant tasked with

On my wedding night, my husband's female bestie barged in for the third time, claiming it was just a "wedding prank." I warned him right then and there. If he didn't kick her out and finish our wedding night, I'd consider this marriage null and void. He looked at my half-undone dress and smirked. He was convinced I was just being a brat because I was needy. He didn't take a single word I said to heart. So, when his female bestie used her spare key to unlock the door for the ninth time, she di

1 "Chase, I'm still stuck at the office working late. I'm so sorry I can't spend Valentine's Day with you." My wife hung up the phone, wrapped her arm around the neck of her first love, Luke, and gracefully stepped into an intimate slow dance with him. When the mood peaked, they shared a lingering kiss right on the dance floor. I sat just a few tables away in the dimly lit restaurant, watching the entire betrayal unfold with my own eyes. Sitting right in front of me was a bouquet of red rose

1. My father drove his mistress's daughter to college himself. Boston in September was still clinging to summer, the heat waves making the red brick buildings on campus tremble. The air was a chaotic mix unique to move-in day―sweat, cheap perfume, and anxiety. My dad, Richard Vance, was directing three uniformed movers as they carried a set of pink luggage into the dorm building for Lily. He stood downstairs in a bespoke suit, the watch on his wrist glinting in the sun, looking like a CEO ins

Chapter 1 My husband's young mistress is pregnant with his child. He brought her home on our wedding anniversary. "Chloe is delicate, so you need to clean the house three times a day. There shouldn't be a single speck of dust," he commanded. "She also loves peace and quiet. You'll move out to sleep at night and only come back during the day." After a long silence, I handed him the divorce papers I had prepared. The housekeeper urged me to just endure it, but my husband signed the documents

1 I'm the daughter of a billionaire, back home to take over the family business. But all it took was attending a single gala with my brother. To be mistaken as a homewrecker by my brother's sickly girlfriend, Chloe Summers. In my past life, she cut off my hands, then brought in thugs who tortured me for three days and nights. ""My boyfriend is a high-roller, not some trash you can climb! You belong in the gutter, you lowly bitch!"" Chloe's doctor begged my brother, Ethan Riley, to avenge me

At the Thanksgiving gala, my child-free wife brought a baby. The infant looked exactly like her late high school sweetheart. She claimed it was her deceased friend's child and she was just helping out. I believed her until I woke up at midnight. I saw her holding a breast pump, rocking the baby to sleep. "Don't be afraid, little one," she whispered. "Daddy has left us, but Mommy will always protect you." Everyone thought I would just swallow my pride and stay. But this time, I silently called

The day before the year-end performance bonus settlement, my boss called me in for a chat. He said my commission was way too high and it was ruining our team unity. He suggested I give my commission to the new girl who got her job through family connections. I told him that was perfectly fine with me. As a result, the boss received over three hundred house cancellation requests that very night. He demanded that I quickly go and beg the buyers to stay. I smiled and replied to him right away. "No

The graduation trip I had looked forward to turned into a cold, lonely nightmare. My boyfriend, Trevor Sterling, who usually spent every waking hour in the chemistry lab, suddenly surprised me with a trip to Iceland. He was so attentive, packing my bags and planning every single detail of the itinerary. He had always been the perfect, thoughtful partner. My heart was bursting with happiness, even though he seemed a bit distracted throughout the journey. The morning after we finally saw the No

Eight months into my pregnancy, I knelt for three hours in front of 999 blind boxes. I finally pulled the hidden edition designer figure I wanted. I couldn't wait to show my husband. But when I pushed open the door, a wave of suffocating 125-degree heat hit me. Four space heaters were cranked to the max. Every floor-to-ceiling window was locked tight. As I reached out to turn them off, my husband's assistant blocked my path. "Ma'am, don't touch those. I'm freezing. The doctor said I have a

1 It was the seventh year of my marriage to Silas Hawthorne. After his thirty-second mistress showed up at my door, I finally decided to give up on him. I chose to sign myself over to a top-secret government project and vanish from his world forever. But then he lost his mind, tearing the world apart just to find me. "Lyra, I was wrong. Please, just come home," he pleaded. In the past, a single soft word from him would have made me run back. Unfortunately for him, this time, he was destin

It is the day of the bankruptcy auction for our campus goddess. In my past life, I would have bankrupted myself to save her. I would have signed that humiliating patronage agreement just to protect her dignity. But this time, I am just going to watch. Last time, she blamed me for the rumors that followed the auction. She married me out of spite, but she never let me touch her for eight years. She secretly funneled my company's assets to her first love. She even bore him three children whi

Our house caught on fire unexpectedly, and I was trapped in the bedroom. I instinctively called my firefighter husband. It took over a dozen tries before the call finally connected. His furious voice immediately came through the speaker. "If there's a fire, just put it out with water!" "Amberley got scalded by boiling water, and I'm rushing her to the ER right now. I don't have time for your bullshit!" As I watched the flames grow larger, the thick smoke choked me until I couldn't open my ey

1 Last life, my sister's boy toy wanted to see a meteor shower. So, she took all the bodyguards and drove out to the boonies to make it happen for him. Turns out, the guys she screwed over saw their chance and broke into our house looking for payback. Mom went all mama bear on them, got seriously hurt, hanging on by a thread. I called my sister like a million times, begging her to come home and help. She finally had to ditch her date and bring the muscle back. They caught the bad guys, but

1. "My only crime was opening a window for some fresh air. That tiny bit of breeze supposedly gave my husband's precious childhood friend a cold. In a fit of rage, Callum ordered his men to drag me to the sub-zero meat locker in the basement. And I was five months pregnant. 'Don't think that carrying my heir gives you the right to bully Vivianne,' he spat. 'If she loses so much as a single hair because of you, I'll make you pay a hundred times over!' I was shivering uncontrollably, sobbin
