"I stood at the edge of my heart and watched him choose her. In the end, I was not the one he needed. I was simply the one he settled for." - Noelle


I thought I was the one he loved. But a few days before our wedding, I saw him in a way I never had before. His eyes softened as he spoke to her. His first love, and the very woman who had left him in pieces.

Heartbreak was something I knew too well. And as I watched the love he still held for her in his eyes, I realized what I had to do. I couldn't marry a man who wasn't truly mine.

With no means to cancel the wedding and lacking the courage to confront him, I made a desperate choice to leave. I painfully gave his first love my treasured engagement ring thinking it was for the best and the only way to free myself.

But when he saw that ring on her finger, the fragile world I had tried to escape began to shatter. His obsession to find me and bring me back ignited a dangerous game of cat and mouse.

Three weeks into my life's new phase, I discovered I was pregnant. It was something that I couldn't fathom, other girls had sex but didn't get pregnant, why did mine have to be different? I wished the ground would crack open and swallow me.

I was pregnant for a man whose identity I had not even the slightest idea about.


After a one-night stand, she discovers she's pregnant. Not knowing who the father is, she's become the ridicule of all. She flees and starts a new life elsewhere.

But fate brings the kids' father to her years later, a powerful man.

Desperate to keep her children secret and safe from his influence, she hides them from him and refuses to reveal their identities. But as children grow older and their similarities to their father start to emerge, it becomes harder and harder to keep their true nature a secret.

What will happen to Kayla and her romance with the stranger?

"Why did you interrupt my fun?" "Your..." She scoffed.

"Gabriel, why on earth would you decide to bring hookers into our home?" 　

　

"Why? Are you jealous that they are getting all my attention?" He moved even closer.

"You know what you have to do to get it." 　

　

"Get what? Your attention? Oh please. If there is any getting to be considered, it will be getting out of here." 　　

"How dare you?" He was glowering at her, his breath kept fanning her mercilessly.

"How dare you talk to me that way? In case you are forgetting something, your father is the one who gets to suffer if you try anything funny." 　　His huge, rough hand grabbed her by the hair and tugged so hard, she had to give a loud cry. 　　

"Gabriel..." she reached for his hand which kept tightening his hold. "Please... Stop." 　　

He glared at her, his offensive smell hitting her nose even more.

"I need you to understand that a wrong move from you means that it is all over for your father. You don't want to be the reason your father loses everything do you?"

I'm eight months pregnant, throwing up so violently I can taste bile, three "miracles" growing inside me.

Until that night at their celebration dinner, when I leaned against the wall and heard laughter from inside the private room.

I could hear the amusement in my husband Frank's voice: "Let's up the bet—another million. I'm betting two boys, one girl."

His mistress Ava giggled: "You already know the results."

"Of course," he said casually. "They're my children. Of course I know."

Then I heard it.

They talked about my womb like I was some kind of breeding machine.

They clinked glasses, debating "whose eggs were worth more."

They were even betting on "which baby would come out first."

And there I was, outside the door, my swollen feet barely holding up my aching, stretched body.

Inside, they were laughing and celebrating.

Celebrating their perfect little surrogate, carrying my husband's babies with his mistress.

Right then, the nausea just... stopped.

I just felt cold.

And slowly, a plan started forming in my head.

I heard it all on a recorded phone call — my boyfriend telling his friend I was just "fun, not serious," while his first love was the one he truly wanted.
That night, I sat alone in a bar, drowning in cheap cocktails and three years of wasted devotion. A stranger sat next to me — quiet, well-dressed, nothing like the other men who tried to buy me drinks.
I was drunk. Broken. Done caring.
"Hey," I leaned in and asked, "you single?"
He nodded.
"Wanna get married?"
For a second, he just looked at me. Then came the softest "Okay" I've ever heard.
The next morning, I woke up with a hangover, a wedding ring, and no memory of my husband's face.
But here's the thing about hitting rock bottom — the only way left is up. And apparently, my brand-new husband plans to take me all the way to the top.

"My first time was during the last surgery..."
I gave my first time to a cold and sterile operation.
Could there be anything more absurd and ridiculous than that?
His body paused for a moment, and
he whispered in my ear, "Very good, you are still innocent."

When the Contract Expires

Three years of a contract marriage, and I told myself I never fell for him.

Then came the night I packed my bags — and realized my clothes only took up one small corner of the closet, yet I could recite every dish he loved better than my own birthday.

Ethan Thorne. The youngest self-made legend on Wall Street. Our marriage was written into a contract — three years, then a clean break.

Three years are up.

I found out he was back in Manhattan through a financial news alert. I cancelled every plan I had, spent an entire afternoon in the kitchen cooking everything he liked — and what I got in return was a photo my best friend sent from across town. Ethan, sitting in the middle of a crowd, laughing like he owned the room, a woman with long hair settled across his lap, his hand resting on her waist.

I told myself I could walk away without looking back.

Then he pushed open the bedroom door — and every resolution I had started to crack. Not because I still loved him. But because his first words weren't an apology, weren't an explanation —

"Clara, don't forget what you are to me."

I hated how certain he sounded when he said it. Hated that he knew every inch of how my body responded to him. Hated that the next morning he walked out and slammed the door without once turning around.

What I hated most was what I heard afterward: that when his family was choosing a candidate, there were plenty of names on that list — and Ethan was the one who asked for mine.

He never explained himself. Never tried to keep me. Yet the moment the word divorce left my mouth, something shifted in his face — dark, and heavy, like the air before a storm —

"If there's a divorce, it happens when I decide to let you go. No one else gets to call that."

Ethan, what is it that you actually want?

The contract is up. All I want is out.

But some people — you think they're just a signature on a page.

Turns out they're the thing you can't walk away from for the rest of your life.

In my third year of marriage to Cassius, I saw his childhood sweetheart Serena post a photo on a luxury yacht with the caption: "My man always knows what I want."

That yacht was supposed to be my birthday gift.

I called the dealer. "Mr. Vitale transferred it to Miss Monte."

Cassius called immediately. "Stop checking up on me. I owed her this. Why are you so insecure?"

That night, he kicked my medication across the floor. "Stop reminding everyone I owe you my life."

Three years ago, I gave him my gas mask during a shootout. The toxins destroyed my lungs.

When he burned my face with an iron, he drove me to the hospital—until Serena called crying about a burst pipe.

He shoved me out into the pouring rain. "You're not going to die. She needs me more."

For the first time in three years, I realized I should stop saving a man who'd already chosen someone else.

In order to revenge, and find out the truth, she to be crazy married the Bryans' young mistress. The first year after marriage, he found that she was offering descendants of the master. In the second year after marriage, he found her strength, unarmed split brick. In the third year after their marriage, he discovered that she was a pianist, a secret investor, and a hacker ... In this way, he tore open her vest one by one. William Bryan felt very aggrieved, 'Wife, how many secrets do you still have?"

"Mrs. Avery Grayson!"
"That's me," I blurted, jumping to my feet, my heart twirling.
The warden held out a plain brown envelope. It had to be something from Chase—a message, a keepsake, something personal to remind me that he hadn't forgotten me.
I tore it open—
Divorce papers.
Beneath them a thick ivory card:
Chase Grayson and Astrid Russell request the honor of your presence.
My sister's name, in gold ink.
After spending three years in prison for a crime I didn't commit, I walked out expecting freedom. Instead, I found betrayal. My husband had not only left me—he married my younger sister.

(AN: Please read The Mafia's Good Girl before this book!)

“Before we get on with our business, there’s a bit of a paperwork you’d need to sign,” Damon said suddenly. He took out a piece of paper and pushed it towards Violet.

“What’s this?” she asked.

“A written agreement for the price of our sale,” Damon replied. He said it so calmly and so nonchalantly, like he wasn’t buying a girl’s virginity for one million dollars.

Violet swallowed hard and her eyes began to glaze over the words on that paper. The agreement was pretty self-explanatory. It basically stated that she’d agree to this sale of her virginity for the aforementioned price and that their signatures would seal the deal. Damon already signed his part and hers was left blank.

Violet looked up to see Damon handing her a pen. She came into this room with the thought of backing out, but after reading the document, Violet had another change of heart. It was one million dollars. This was more money than she could ever see in her lifetime. One night compared to that would be minuscule. One could even argue that it was a bargain. So before she could change her mind again, Violet took the pen from Damon’s hand and signed her name on the dotted line. Right as the clock struck midnight that day, Violet Rose Carvey had just signed a deal with Damon Van Zandt, the devil in the flesh.

I WARNED!


“You will always live in my dead wife’s shadow. I will never love you.”

Those were my husband’s first words to me on our wedding day. Not I love you. Not welcome home. Just a cold promise I would spend the rest of my life paying for a crime I didn’t commit.

And the worst part?

He was right.

I was deaf. Fat. Broken. Betrayed by everyone I had ever trusted. By the time Alexander Miller walked into my life, there wasn’t much of me left to destroy.

I thought marrying him would give me stability, a fresh start.

I didn’t know it would trap me in a house filled with a dead woman’s memories.

Every time he touched me, I felt it. Even when he was buried deep inside me, he whispered her name like I was just a substitute for the wife he lost.

All because I had her face.

And he believed I had taken her life.

He made sure I paid for it every single day.

And when he finally learned the truth…
I was already dead.

The same day that Elizabeth found out that a life starts to grow inside her, Charles asked her to sign papers she never thought that she would ever receive.

“Ellie, sign this,” Charles said and put down the envelope he was holding on top of the glass table.

“What is that?” She asked while looking at the envelope. It was the first time that Charles wanted her to sign something and she doubted if it had something to do with the business.

“Divorce paper,” Charles simply said while looking at her.

Upon hearing the words that came out from Charles, Elizabeth was unable to open her mouth.

She felt like her heart was stabbed by a sharp knife and how she wished that she had just died that day.

“Babe… Charles baby…” Elizabeth heard that endearment, coming from Elaine Imperial. She’s Charles' childhood sweetheart.

She felt a bucket of cold water pour out all over her body. Without a second thought, she immediately signed the divorce paper. Then, she turned back to hide the tears that were flowing down from her eyes.

“You, I chose you to be my seventh wife.”

“C-can you choose another woman?”
“I chose you. No one in this room passed through my taste. It was only you, I will make sure to get you pregnant, Shiloh."

In order to keep his position, he has to do everything to conceive a child within the year.

"Why?" she muttered as tears welled up in her eyes, "Why did you do it?"

He said nothing, and only picked up a document and stretched it to her.

Boldly written on it is ‘Divorce Agreement’.

She raised her eyes to him, studying him through blurry vision, "Why are you doing this to me?"

"Clarissa is back," he said with a straight face.

"Clarissa is back... that’s why you sent me to another man’s bed so that you can have enough evidence to divorce?" she thought to herself, not having enough guts to say it out to his face.

Vanessa never thought that one day she would be sent to another man's bed by her husband.

And the purpose of her husband is just to force her to divorce.

Her heart was so broken that she signed the divorce agreement. However, an accident reminded her of her true identity, Sophia Blake, the heiress of the Blake Family.

What will happen when Sophia Blake came back?

The publication date was tomorrow morning. I thought it was a sick prank.
Then, the bathroom door opened. My husband stood there, loosening his tie.
"You look beautiful tonight," he murmured.
