All works

1 The day I went into labor, my husband abandoned me to celebrate his first love's birthday. My water broke in the middle of the night, and I called him over and over, desperate for help. He didn't pick up until dawn. "Aria is still sleeping. Stop being so dramatic and making a scene, okay?" I touched my empty stomach and replied calmly, "Come and sign the divorce papers. No one will ever make a scene for you again." ...... I suffered a severe hemorrhage during delivery. The hospital issu

Four years into our marriage, my husband’s flight was reported missing after a horrific crash. I braved the torrential rain, following the search and rescue teams, digging through the wreckage with my bare hands until they bled. But in the end, I found him in a hotel bed. He was tangled up with his first love, Elowen, their bodies pressed together in a heat that had nothing to do with a plane crash. When he saw me standing there, soaked and trembling, he didn't even look guilty. “Elowen has

1 Six years after I supposedly cheated on him with a wealthy heir, my ex-boyfriend Caleb Thorne finally returned from abroad. The poor boy who once couldn't even afford a single rose had transformed into a world-renowned Wall Street titan. He came back for one reason: to see me, the gold-digging girl who lacked vision, groveling at his feet in bitter regret. But what he didn't know was that six years ago, I had already died of leukemia. The seed money he used to start his empire was actuall

The R&D for the X-45 nuclear fusion project was finally over. I was heading back home to Skyfall City on the earliest flight, clutching the classified fission reaction model. Before I could even deliver it to the base, I collided with a slender figure. The prototype shattered into a million pieces. The reaction files―years of my life―were kicked into a filthy sewer by her. I demanded an apology, but Silas Sterling's cousin just spat at my feet. "Look at my limited-edition heels. They're cove

1. My marriage to Julian Harrison had been dead for three years. For three years, he paraded a string of young girls at every charity gala and high-end party, making me the laughingstock of the East Coast elite. But I never fought with him, never paid any mind to the gossip. Then came another wedding anniversary. The budding actress he brought this time was as stunning as all the others. But one look at her face, and I finally snapped. I lunged at her, my nails digging into her skin until sh

1 My childhood sweetheart got a do-over. The first thing he did in this new life? He ignored me, bleeding out in a totaled car, and ran to my stepsister, cowering in the distance. Last time around, Ashley, my stepsister, engineered that car crash to steal my inheritance. I ended up a vegetable for three years. Jake, my childhood best friend, hated her for it. He swore revenge at my bedside. And for three years, I watched him torture her. His favorite method? Using his body to punish her e

Chapter 1 My twin brother and I shared the exact same face, yet my parents treated me like trash. When my brother stole cash and framed me, Dad slapped me so hard I lost hearing in my left ear without even asking for my side of the story. When my brother demanded seafood chowder, Mom gripped my throat and forced it down my esophagus, fully aware of my lethal shellfish allergy. I lost count of how many times I ended up in the emergency room while my entire family stood by, laughing at my agon

1. They took me. Two men. Zip ties. A warehouse. My husband, the sheriff, sent every deputy he had to save his first love. She'd swallowed a bottle of pills. She was dying. I didn't call him. I let them hurt me. Last time, I called. He came. His team took the kidnappers down. I walked out alive. The next morning, Hannah Brooks was dead. She'd called him seventeen times while he was saving me. He never answered. He told me he didn't regret it. I was his wife. I was carrying his child. Savi

Chapter 1 I spent ten years trying to make Hayden Cross fall in love with me. Yet, in the end, he still divorced me for his first love. Even when I was dying in the hospital after a brutal car crash, he was busy celebrating her birthday. The System declared my mission a total failure and announced my impending erasure. Right before I slipped away, I texted him, begging him to come see me one last time. His reply was cold and filled with disgust. "Trying to use death to get my attention aga

It was our fifth wedding anniversary. I came home early, planning to surprise my husband with a gourmet feast. Instead, I caught him carrying his little assistant into our bedroom. They were tangled together, lost in their own world. I heard the girl whisper. "When are you going to give me her uterus?" Sterling's voice was ice cold. "I'll have her do a check-up tomorrow. I've already arranged for a doctor to tell her she has cervical cancer. We'll just take it during the surgery." "But liste

1. The wedding was set to take place at The Plaza Hotel in Manhattan. I was standing alone in the bridal suite, dressed in a custom Vera Wang gown, clutching a bouquet I’d painstakingly chosen. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, I watched the bright afternoon sky fade into a glittering night. The guest seats were long empty. Our glamorous friends and business partners had all trickled out, their whispers turning from excitement to awkward pity. The wedding planner had already called three t

1 The fire alarm blared, a shriek that ripped through my skull. Smoke, thick and acrid, choked the air. My husband, Mark, ignoring my desperate cries, bolted from the inferno, cradling his childhood sweetheart in his arms. I was left for dead. My brother, Dave, livid, called Mark, his voice a thunderclap of fury. "She's your WIFE, Mark! You left her in there for THAT? You couldn't even bother to check on her?" Mark just scoffed, a cold, dismissive sound that cut through the phone line. "Let

During our high school ski trip, my weight caused me to take a nasty fall. Everyone laughed at how fat and pathetic I looked, and not a single person offered to help me up. Only Farrah walked over, pulled me to my feet, and said, "You're not fat or ugly at all. You look handsome even when you wipe out. My heart's honestly skipping a beat." I foolishly believed she meant every word. It was not until her birthday party, when I finally gathered the courage to confess my feelings, that the truth

1 The mission was over. Cade, the man who used to shower me with nothing but love, suddenly turned ice cold. He stopped coming home. He started picking fights over the tiniest things. One night, while looking for him, I overheard him talking to his friends. "I only married her because the System forced me to," he sneered. "My heart only belongs to Mila." Later, I left the divorce papers and vanished from his life. That was when he finally lost his mind. ... Every word from that room s

At sixty, my son and husband snatched my retirement fund. They framed me as mentally unstable and forced me into a psychiatric ward. My son looked at me with cold eyes. He said, "Don't blame me for being heartless, Mom. Dad doesn't have much time left, and I have to help him fulfill his dream of being with his first love." My husband sneered, "I'm finally free of you. I've waited forty years for this day." After they left, I suffered a total mental breakdown. I died in that cold, sterile room

1 On the day of the bone marrow transplant, my mother called me. "Why are you faking another illness?" she snapped. "It's just a bone marrow donation. Who are you putting on this pathetic show for?" My younger brother chimed in from the background. "How can you be so vicious? You owe her your life! Even if she asked you to die, you'd deserve it." Even my boyfriend could not hide his rage. "It's just bone marrow, Yara. She isn't asking you to die. How can you be so damn selfish?" None of th

Chapter 1 My daughter treated me like her worst enemy. When I paid for her piano lessons, she accused me of trying to parade her on stage for other people's entertainment. When she wanted to run off with an older guy she met online, I stopped her, and she claimed I was stripping away her human rights. After winning the gold medal at the national piano competition, she had a bright future ahead of her. Yet during a live interview, she told the world I only treated her as a cash cow. Later, w

1 My boyfriend, Liam, was this super-genius, a real cold fish, and absolutely hated being touched. We'd been together for years, but we'd never done anything remotely couple-y. No holding hands, no pecks, nada. I just figured he was wired that way, and I'd resigned myself to a totally platonic relationship. Then, on his birthday, I took a forty-hour Greyhound bus ride to see him. And I saw him under a streetlight, smiling, lightly tugging on some girl's ponytail, and then, get this, holding

For three years of marriage, my wife always refused to let me touch her. Her excuse was always the same: she was nervous and not ready yet. Before my birthday, she promised she would prepare a huge surprise for me. Thinking she was finally ready, I booked a five-star luxury hotel suite and painstakingly decorated it just the way she liked. Yet, as night fell, she never showed up. Instead, I saw a post on her childhood best friend’s social media. “In this vast world, the greatest happiness i

I was a gifted musician. After graduation, I got into the elite Crestview Conservatory with honors. At the same time, I gained a small following online for my song covers. But when I posted my first original song, the comments were filled with accusations of plagiarism. Even my classmates looked at me with judging eyes, telling me I should apologize. When I listened to the song they mentioned, my heart dropped. The melody was exactly the same as mine, but it had been posted just one day earlie
