Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn Is it possible for an eight-year-old girl to bear the memory of her previous life? What will you do if one day, after waking up in bed, you find yourself eight again and you are reminded of all the pain and humiliations you have suffered at the hands of those you once deemed close? In her previous life, the royal princess, Yun Shang, was traumatized both mentally, and physically. She was a wife betrayed by her husband, a mother who had witnessed the tragic death of her only child, and a sister who had experienced the cruelty of her royal elder sister. Now back to the age of eight, knowing what she knows about those people, how will she avenge herself? See for yourself! *************** In the Princess' Mansion in the Imperial City of the State of Ning, a woman knelt on the ground in front of the highest turret. She didn't feel the cold the night brought nor the harsh drizzle that fell mercilessly. She was beautiful, with her pale complexion and silken black hair. But her eyes seemed hollow. She clutched a baby in her arms. She seemed worried about his bruised face and his shallow breathing. Every breath seemed to be his last. "Please go back, Princess Yun Shang. The Emperor's Son-in-law will not see you." Lian Xin was guarding the turret's entrance. She had been Princess Yun Shang's most trustworthy court maid since her childhood. The sky tore open as Yun Shang's heart broke; drenching her and everything around her. Clenching her teeth, she pulled at the cloak. She wanted to protect the baby from getting wet. When did it start? Yun S...

***Book 1 in Children of the Sun & Moon Series*** What was made to be a safe haven... turned into her prison... Only a moment later, did Warren find something of a dark velvet-like hue, lying amidst a bushel of broken sticks and patchy grass, only slightly covered in the light snow. The alpha edged closer to the near violet fabric when he noticed it to be a blanket. Still, however, there was no movement, not even a cry. Warren cursed under his breath, as he came upon the blanket, thinking that something or someone had gotten to it before he had. It was only when he took a step closer, that he saw the small hand that reached out from the soft velvet violet blanket with a gold K embroidered upon each side of it. He bent down to get a closer look, relieved that the infant was alright, but still hesitant in making a decision of what he should do with the little human...... Kazmiyah always watched from afar, careful not to stand too close to the window as she didn't want to be spotted by any of the kid bystanders that left the school. Watching them leave brought a feeling that she could only describe as bittersweet, knowing that these kids are relieved to be away from their seven-hour day of school while she is forced to call this place her home. Then one fateful night when the town is under attack by ferals Kazmiyah is found by Falcon Alvaro, the last living Lycan Alpha and chosen mate of her guardian's daughter. At first, where she imagined that it'd be great to be officially part of the Crescent family, Kazmiyah soon realizes that the dream was just silly fantasy as things quickly spiral out of control. *************** She watched from her realm, Muñyirah was tucked away, asleep as she sat and watched the grave where her granddaughter lie in sleep. The Moon Flowers had begun to bloom profusely around the plot of her burial. She could not help the smile that appeared upon her face as she watched the most beautiful s……

He Only Married Me To Show Her That He Already Moved On He has all the traits that you wished for your dream man to have. Power, money, perfection, handsomeness and a body like a Greek God. But he's inlove. He's inlove with her. For him, she was the completion of his dream, a perfect wife and a mother to be with his children. He would give her everything including his own life. He would sacrifice his world for her. But she left him. She betrayed him. She broke his heart into pieces.

He blurted out and i almost stumbled on where i am standing. I just gripped the backrest of the couch to support my weight. The pain creeping in my heart is unbearable but i managed to stay calm. "Wow! Congratulations!" I said faking my excitement as i remembered him saying... -cheating would not be the reason to break our marriage- of course i couldn't accuse him of this as 'cheating' because she was the real reason why we are pretending as a couple. He still love her. He's still inlove with her. And that's when i made the biggest decision in my life. Taking all my strength and a piece of my heart that still hanging on a thin rope... I left him. Taking also my biggest secret in me... that i've already fallen inlove with him. And somehow i learned a lesson; 'Loving someone who doesn't love you back isn't as hard as loving someone who still inlove with his ex and who only uses you to get her back again into his life..' *************** -'Rude!'- My everyday line in my head every time he didn't comment anything. No 'thank you' or whatsoever after giving his orders. I told you, he doesn't know the word thank you. It doesn't exist in his vocabulary. *************************************************** Madi's POV: "Tell me Madi, why do you have to apply for another job? You already have your own fine dining restaurants. Three big freaking restaurants in the City. And you're not lacking out of money, in fact you almost give the half of them to your charities. God!

That's why I also took a business degree to fulfil my bucket list of dreams." I tried to reason out with her but still she couldn't understand my point. It's been a month since I started working as a PA at Wilsons Electronics Corporation under the management of Mr. Gabriel W

You may think you understand, but you don't" *Rian* ~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~ *************** Sophia's POV: A long and deep sigh escaped through my lips as I checked my wristwatch for I don't know how many times. I've been sitting inside the coffee shop for almost forty-five minutes, but I still can't see even a glimpse of the person who texted me yesterday. Mr. Daniel Kelley, the CEO of Kelley International Corporation, my 'so-called' fiance and a husband to be three weeks from now. He said he wants us to meet and to see me personally before they announce our engagement party next week. I agreed, so I cancelled my first practice appointment just to meet him. Maybe you're confused about the engagement party. How can be two people get engaged without knowing each other, or without even seeing each other? Well, this is just a contractual marriage, so to be intimate with each other is not necessary. We only need to be in this marriage for one year and after that, we're going to go in our separate ways again. "Ten minutes. No, five minutes. Five more minutes and if he still don't show up himself, I'm gonna leave and I won't also show myself until the engagement party." I muttered lowly while roaming my eyes inside the restaurant. And to make myself busy while waiting for another minute, I put my earphones back and listen to my new downloaded dance music from my phone, as I continued to create new dance steps in my head. I was already indulged with the music and enjoying the beat when I noticed tha

And me? I've got hearts in my eyes and a letter that's burning a hole in my coat pocket. As we're putting on our shoes, Kitty's still trying to weasel her way out of wearing a hanbok to Aunt Carrie and Uncle Victor's. "Look at the sleeves! They're three-quarter length on me!" Unconvincingly Daddy says, "They're supposed to be that way." Kitty points to me and Margot. "Then why do theirs fit?" she demands. Our grandma bought the hanboks for us the last time she was in Korea. Margot's hanbok has a yellow jacket and apple-green skirt. Mine is hot pink with an ivory-white jacket and a long hot-pink bow with flowers embroidered down the front. The skirt is voluminous, full like a bell, and it falls all the way to the floor. Unlike Kitty's, which hits right at her ankles. "It's not our fault you grow like a weed," I say, fussing with my bow. The bow is the hardest thing to get right. I had to watch a YouTube video multiple times to figure it out, and it still looks lopsided and sad. "My skirt's too short too," she grumps, lifting the bottom. The real truth is, Kitty hates wearing a hanbok because you have to walk delicately in it and hold the skirt closed with one hand or the whole thing comes open. "All of the other cousins will be wearing them, and it will make Grandma happy," Daddy says, rubbing his temples. "Case closed." In the car Kitty keeps saying "I hate New Year's Day," and it puts everyone but me in a sour mood. Margot is already in a semi-sour mood because she had to wake up at the crack of dawn to get home from her friend's cabin in time. There's also the matter of that maybe hangover. Nothing could sour my mood, though, because I'm not even in this car. I'm somewhere else entirely, thinking about my letter to Peter, wondering if it was heartfelt enough, and how and when I'm going to give it to him, and what he'll say, and what it will mean. Should I drop it in his mailbox? Leave it in his locker? When I see him again, will he smile at me, make a joke of it to lighten the mood? Or will he pretend he never saw it, to spare us both? I think that would be worse. I have to keep reminding myself that, despite everything, Peter is kind and he is easygoing and he won't be cruel no matter what. Of tha

Lord Of Martial Arts In Lothlann Continent, talent in martial arts won cultivators respect. Darren Chu, a mediocre talent in martial arts, was deemed a loser by everyone. His status changed when a fireball fell from the sky and hit him on the head. He cheated death. Empowered with the ability to assimilate other creatures' talent, Darren sought to better himself and seek vengeance against those who had wronged his family, including his little sister. "You will kneel in front of me one day," swore the future lord of martial arts. *************** Great significance was given to martial arts cultivation in the Lothlann Continent. It was, thus, natural that the higher a person's innate talent in martial arts, the more respect they earned. According to one's talent for martial arts, people could be graded at the Heaven Degree, the Earth Degree, the Black Degree, and the Yellow Degree. In each of these degrees, people were ranked from level one to level nine based on their aptitude level. It was said that if someone reached the Heaven Degree, centuries of cultivation would turn him or her into the lord of martial arts, the legendary being. But the fact was that ninety-nine percent of people in this continent only had the talent of the Ordinary Degree, which was inferior to level one of the Yellow Degree. In Valmar, Doriath. "Have you heard the news? The chief...

Malcolm Quan drove through the neighborhood, passing through all the other familiar trees and houses. Finally, he arrived at his apartment. Getting off the car, Malcolm went up to the door and pressed his finger on the scanner. The door then opened with a slight beep and click. Much to his disappointment, he saw the bright hall was empty. "Poppi?" he called out. There was no answer. 'Where did you go?' After closing the door behind him, he put the documents in his hand on the sofa and went upstairs to the bedroom. "Poppi?" he shouted once more. "Where are you?" When Malcolm Quan had reached the bedroom, he saw that there were clothes of a woman strewn across the bed, and heard the sound of running water in the bathroom. Splish, splash!...

His Insane Lust Suri was being set up and accidentally had sex with Shawn— A man that was allegedly never having an affair with a woman!

Let's join in their adventure! *************** Rocky Bai woke up in a sweat, confusion filling his wide eyes. It felt like he had just woken up from a nightmare. Gasping for air, he soon noticed something was amiss. His arms held him up at once. The scene coming into his eyes knocked him down like a feather. He was greeted with the sight of a luxurious and splendid room decked with classic decoration. There were no lamps or lights in here, but it was as bright as day. He was lying in a comfortable bed with a golden silk quilt, white tulle encircling it on all sides. Rocky Bai felt like he was lying on an imperial bed. Through the white tulle, Rocky Bai could see plenty of gold and jade objects on a cabinet. He could tell that each of them was worth at least a million. Everything Rocky Bai saw caught him by surprise, and then a sudden thought popped into his head: 'Where am I?" What he last remembered was being on the way to a meeting. He had been invited by the International Animal Genome Center to deliver a keynote speech. Rocky Bai, a young and talented scholar in the field of gene study, ranked number one among his peers. No one in the whole world could surpass him in the field of gene study until now. While he was on the flight heading for the venue, an aircraft accident occurred right before he passed out. Now, he was in a strange room. It was impossible that this was hell. But if this was heaven, how could everything around him feel so real? Wasn't it said that only the soul could go to heaven when someone died? Souls couldn't feel anything physically, right? But his senses were so real and substantial. He could feel not only the softness and comfort of the bed, but also the warmth coming from someone under the quilt next to him. Rocky was shocked to find someone lying next to him. Cautiously, he slowly opened the quilt, hoping not t...

A Ruthless Proposition Book Online The last thing Cleopatra Knight expects on her business trip to Tokyo is to fall into bed with her arrogant, irresistibly hot boss, Dante Damaso. It’s a mistake—a steamy, mind-blowingly satisfying mistake. But a few nights of passion with the superwealthy bad boy prove to have long-term effects when Cleo’s world is unexpectedly turned upside down. Dante has cultivated an enviable, jet-setting lifestyle: beautiful women, exotic destinations, and luxury without limits. He’s not looking to be domesticated, and certainly not by his assistant—even though he can’t get her out of his mind. Still, he knows he has both the responsibility and the financial means to help Cleo. Though Cleo has no interest in Dante’s money, her lack of prospects gives her little choice but to accept his help. But living under the same roof, Dante discovers he wants more, and if Cleo lets down her guard, she just might find what her heart’s wanted all along. *************** CHAPTER ONE "Freshen up, Miss Knight, and meet me back in the living room in forty-five minutes. We'll have to work through dinner," Dante Damaso commanded as he tugged off his tie with one hand and poured himself a brandy with the other. Cleopatra Pandora Knight stared at her boss with a simmering resentment that she hid behind a mask of impassivity. She was exhausted. They had landed at Narita airport that afternoon and had hit the ground running, with one meeting after the next, as they attempted to deal with the bureaucratic red tape that had delayed the start of construction on Dante's new hotel. All she wanted was a hot shower and a good night's sleep since she knew that she had to face more of the same frenetic pace tomorrow. Sadly, that was not to be; the boss wasn't done working, and that meant no sleep for Cleo until he said so. "Yes, Mr. Damaso," she said demurely, keeping her voice low and emotionless. He didn't acknowledge her response, picking up a newspaper and perusing the headlines with the intense focus he gave whatever activity he happened to be engaged in at any given moment. Recognizing the dismissal, Cleo turned and headed for her room. When Cleo realized that she would be sharing the penthouse suite of one of the most exclusive hotels in Tokyo with her boss, she had a moment of panic. Until she'd seen the suite. Her entire apartment back in Cape Town could fit into this place several times over. It had three huge bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a living room. Nothing but the best for Dante Damaso. Until his hotel was built, he would stay in what would soon be the second best hotel in Tokyo. Cleo rolled her head on her shoulders and listened to her neck creak with the movement. God, she felt like she could sleep for a week, whereas the boss barely looked winded. It was a little infuriating how indefatigable he was, especially since it impacted Cleo directly. She sighed and allowed herself a moment of self-pity before rummaging through her su

After living with his wife and her parents for four years, Tom eventually figured out who truly loved him. One day, he came back with wealth and power to take vengeance on those making his life a living hell. *************** The Overwhelming Son-In-Law Chapter 1 Tom was washing clothes for the whole family when her mother-in-law, Elizabeth, suddenly threw a piece of clothes on his face and said arrogantly, "Tom, wash my clothes first. " Tom's mouth twitched. He couldn't stand Elizabeth any longer, so he said, "Mom, next time you ask me to do laundry, could you please put your clothes in the basket? Don't throw them on my face. I'm your son-in-law, not your servant. " It was really embarrassing for him to have a piece of clothes on top of his head. Elizabeth slapped him on the head. "Just wash it. One more word, I'll stuff it in your mouth next time. You are trash. How dare you whine about it? Wash all of them, or you don't get to eat today! " To vent her anger, she even slapped Tom on his head again. Tom trembled with anger. Elizabeth then said disdainfully, "What's wrong with you?! Do you want to go against me? Or hit me? Come, hit me here. Try it. I dare say you don't have the gut to do it. Remember, you're nothing but trash! " If possible, Tom really wanted to put everything behind and hit her. Over the past few years, he had lived worse than an animal in the Scott Family. Every day, he had to work like a trojan, but he was always underfed because he was married into the Scott Family. Though they had been married for four years, Tom didn't even get to touch his wife's hand once. He was more a servant than the son-in-law of the Scott Family. "If you are not trash, then what are you? Even if I ask you to beat me, you don't dare. A real man would rather die than living such a life! " said Elizabeth viciously. Tom lowered his head and clenched his fists so hard that his nails were about to get into his flesh, but he did not dare to say a word. "Mom, how many times have I told you not to throw the clothes on Tom's face? He has dignity too. " Hearing this, Tom shuddered and looked up. He saw a gorgeous woman standing at the door with a slight frown. That's his wi...

Running From The Billionaire "I ran. Ran as fast as my legs could go. Away. Away from him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hailey Pritchett loved her job as the secretary of Henry Caldwell, the CEO of the Caldwell Industries. She was a woman who liked safety, and stayed far away from danger. However, the company is bought by a ruthless businessman who is known as the Sniper. Theodore Benson is a ruthless billionaire, and is known as the Sniper in the business world. Because he kills his opponents without letting them know. He bows down to no one, and when he wants something, he does everything - whether legal or not - to possess it. When Hailey and Theodore aka the Sniper, come face to face, Hailey knows that Theodore is dangerous. So Hailey does what she does best in the face of danger. She runs. But will Theodore let her get away? Theodore wants Hailey Pritchett, and won't stop until he has her - in every possible way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *************** Part I straightened my pencil skirt, and walked towards Mr. Caldwell's office. He had called me in his office 10 minutes ago, although I didn't know why. But it was my job as a secretary of the boss, I had to do what he said. I knocked slightly on Mr. Caldwell's office door and entered. Mr. Caldwell was sitting in his usual place, behind the desk. However, there was a man sitting on one of the visiting chairs. He was dressed in a business suit. His hair was styled to perfection. From where I was standing, I couldn't make out his features, but only the sharp cut of his jaw line. Mr. Caldwell turned to look at me and smiled. I smiled back. This was why I liked Mr. Caldwell, he was always smiling, which made me smile for some weird reason. Maybe it was because he had a very genuine and beautiful smile-for a 58 year old man, or maybe it was because his smile always put me at ease, I didn't know why. "Mr. Caldwell you wanted to see me, " I said softly. "Yes Hailey, please come in, " Mr. Caldwell beckoned. I entered and walked over to him. Once I reached his desk, I stopped and waited for Mr. Caldwell to tell me what he needed me to do. Mr. Caldwell looked at the person sitting in the visitor chair strangely. If I didn't know any better, I'd say it was almost as if there was tension between the two gentlemen. "Hailey, I called you here to introduce you to your new boss." he said. To say I was confused would be an understatement. New boss?? What? How? "I'm sorry sir, did you say...New boss?" I asked. "Exactly Hailey, new boss....

But what forced her to marry a complete stranger? *** "I want you to sign these papers." Christian said in his deep domineering voice, and forwarded the file in Mishka's direction. "What is this?"

"CONTRACT MARRIAGE" Will she sign the papers or her single masterstroke is going to change everything forever? What will happen when their entirely different world will crash? Will these two distinct personalities find their happily ever after with each other? Copyright © Author Anika All Rights Reserved *************** It was a bright sunny day when the giant black metal gates of Knight Mansion opened, and a Red Audi R8 special edition sports car slid in. Christian Knight stepped out from his car in a charcoal grey suit, fuming in anger, and slammed the car door with a loud thud. He started walking towards the gorgeous Italian-styled Knight Mansion crossing the big water fountain. The servant opened the beautiful mahogany door and politely greeted him, but Christian ignored it. “Where are my father and Grandpa?” He asked angrily. “Sir, they are in the living area.” The servant replied, meekly. Chris turned and started taking long strides furiously towards the living area, and when he reached, he saw his father Luke and grandfather Leo sitting together enjoying coffee, and he charged towards them with blazing eyes. “Grandpa, how can you do this to me?” Chris thundered, glaring at him. “How can you take such an important decision of my life without asking me?” He asked in a high pitch and then looked at his father, Luke. “Dad, at least, you say something to him. Why does he want me to get married? And that too with an Indian girl too.” Chris said, fuming in anger, and looked back at his grandfather. “Grandpa, I think you are forgetting that I am already in a relationship with Lia. I introduced you to her a few weeks ago.” “Son, let me get straight to the point. If you want to take over the position of CEO in Knight Inc. then you have to marry the girl I have selected for you. Take it or leave it, the choice is yours.” Leo responded calmly, with a small smile playing on his lips. “I can give the CEO’s position to your cousin, Jake. He is ready for it,” Leo stated, while taking a sip from his coffee. “Even I am ready to take that position, Grandpa, but you are imp

Drugged by her father, Qiao Ning was sent to an old man's bed. Luckily, a hot guy saved her, and she had a wild absurd night with him. She thought it was just a one-nigh-stand, and left without telling her real name. Unexpectedly, they met again at her boyfriend and her sister's wedding. What would Qiao Ning do when she found out the hot guy was Li Chengyan, a billionaire. What would Li Chengyan react when he discovered that his one-night-stand was his nephew's girlfriend? *************** Hello, Mr. Li Chapter 1 Help Me Night. Brilliantly lit lights. Qiao Ning got out of the taxi and hurried into Lidu, the fanciest Club in the city. Her father, Qiao Wenyuan, phoned her. He had drunk too much and asked her to come take him home. Worried about her father, Qiao Ning didn't even get changed after work. The seven-inch high heel, black skirt, and white shirt, however, did not undermine her beauty but showed her perfect body and tempting curves. She is a beauty. No one can doubt that. "Dad, are you okay? " Qiao Ning finally found the VIP room and went in. The atmosphere in the room was a little strange. Besides her father, there was another man-a man in his thirties, tall, handsome. Without a word, he sat on the sofa and squinted at Qiao Ning. Half of his face was hidden in the shadow. Qiao Ning felt uncomfortable as if she was hunted by a venomous snake. Qiao Ning felt her heartbeat quickened as she walked towards her father. There was only one thought in her mind: I must get out of here now. But Qiao Wenyuan unexpectedly picked up a glass of wine and handed it to her, "Qiao Ning, this is my boss, Mr. Hee. Give a toast to him for me. " "Dad, you are drunk. We'd better leave! " "Nonsense, do as I say," Qiao Wenyuan flared up. Qiao Ning bit her lip. She had no choice but to take up the glass and walked towards the man in shadow. "Mr. Hee, cheers, " she finished the whole glass of wine with indecent haste regardless of the cold gleam in the man's eyes. "My dad is drunk. Would you mind that I take him home now? " As a real estate consultant, Qiao Ning can drink a lot. A glass of wine wouldn't make her uncomfortable. However, when she turned around to help her father up, she was beginning to feel nauseous. Her head was spinning uncomfortably, and she was a little unsteady on her feet. More unsteady than usual. She staggered, and luckily, her father held her, preventing her from falling. Qiao Ning breathed in deeply and shook her head t...

Patricia Sampson glanced at the phone in a daze and picked it up from the bedside table. When she saw the name on the caller ID, she pressed the answer button without a moment's hesitation. She was afraid that the call would be cut if she didn't answer it right away. "Hello." Her voice was shaky, betraying how anxious she felt. Whenever she got a call from this number, she would feel inexplicably nervous. Now, although the other party could not see her, she could not help but comb her hair with her fingers. "I am coming home today," said a deep male voice on the other end of the line. Patricia's heart skipped a beat. After being stunned for a few seconds, she hurriedly asked, "Then do you need me to do anything? What do you want to eat? Should I prepare anything else for—""No," he interrupted her coldly, as if he was talking to a stranger and not his wife. He was her husband, but since he had treated her like this from the beginning, she was used to his attitude towards her. "Zac..." Placing her hand on her belly, Patricia bit her lower lip and decided to tell him the news. "I... I might...""I have to go now."He abruptly hung up the phone. Holding the phone in her hand, Patricia smiled bitterly and finished the sentence for her own ears. "I might be pregnant."Patricia and Zac Reynolds had been married for three years. She lived with his family, while he l...

I am still trying to figure out the best way to cut it open for further examination." "Harper, you are a forensic expert.

A Husband's Regret (Unwanted #2) Book Online Tall and thin, twenty-eight-year-old Bronwyn Palmer has become positively gaunt, a ghost of her former self. That self was?and still is?the wife of a rich, handsome executive with an ocean-view house and his own security staff. It was in that house, two years ago, that Bryce Palmer learned Bronwyn was pregnant with their first child. But Bryce's rage over his impending fatherhood touched off a chain reaction of emotional and physical traumas that wounded them both. For Bronwyn, it meant fleeing the perfect marriage to start over with nothing but a precocious daughter named Kayla to care for. For Bryce, it meant a tortuous two years spent blaming his wife for deserting him, and living with the pain of not knowing his child. Now a chance encounter has brought Bronwyn back into Bryce's life, both bearing scars?and neither knowing the whole truth of that fateful night that drove them apart. *************** PROLOGUE CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA What do you mean, you're pregnant? What about your studies? We were going to wait, Bronwyn, remember? Just tell me you're joking?" Bronwyn felt her husband's furious words strike her like boulders. She stared up into his livid face and didn't recognize the man standing in front of her. He was shocked, that was all. He was thrown by her news. Her words would sink in soon enough and he'd go back to being the man she adored, the wonderful man to whom she had entrusted her heart. She just needed to give him time to get over his shock. The more she tried to rationalize his inexplicable reaction to what should have been joyous news, the more the insidious little voice in the back of her mind kept telling her that she was lying to herself. This was a side of Bryce that she had never seen before - one that he had never allowed her to see - and she was terrified of what that said about their two-year marriage. "I know that it's sooner than we'd planned," she said softly, trying to maintain an even tone of voice. "But this is the reality of our situation now, and it can't be changed. We're having a baby . . . a baby, Bryce. Don't you get how wonderful that is?" "I can't believe you did this. I can't believe you would stoop to this," he gritted out bitterly. "This was supposed to be a joint decision. I'm not ready for this, Bronwyn. I don't want a kid, damn it!" "But it's our baby. We made it together," she protested, trying and failing to keep the pain and confusion from her voice. She tried to find a glimmer of her kind and loving Bryce beneath the mask of anger and frustration that he was displaying, but he wasn't there. She wondered if he had ever been there. "Get the hell out," he said before turning to face her. Bronwyn tried not to flinch when she saw his face. There was nothing there - no anger, no regret, just a blank mask. She didn't know this man at all. "Go now." She sobbed, whirled from the room, and did as he had commanded. She fled. CHAPTER ONE TWO YEARS LATER She

She sat up, got dressed, and left the room quietly and quickly. 'What happened last night? I remember I was at home, quarreling with my father and stepmother because they forced me to marry someone I had never met before. How could I be here? ' Inadvertently, Arya looked up, and from the mirror in the corridor, she saw herself like a drowned rat. Just as she was at a loss for what happened and what to do, Harriet and Estella came slowly from the end of the corridor. They didn't look surprised at all. They were even glad to see Arya being like this. 'Why are they here? At this time? ' Immediately, Arya understood what was going on here. They set her up. No wonder that although she was sober, she couldn't push the man away. Three months ago, Estella went to visit her father with Marshal and Harriet, twins who were one year younger than her. Her stepmother Estella claimed that the twins were her father's, and her father didn't deny it. He even said that Arya's biological mother didn't give him a son. In order to prevent the 'bloodline' of the Harrison Family from coming to an end, he got Estella pregnant, while Estella gave birth to a 'precious' boy. Her mother was devastated. Her husband had cheated and betrayed her for nearly ...

" Meredith opened her eyes while the woman shoved her off, "You're lucky. " She slowly put on her only neat clothes and followed the guard. "What happened? " She asked curiously and timidly. "Shut up, and don't ask what you shouldn't! " The guard didn't say anything further but handcuffed her and put a black hood on Meredith. Darkness brought Meredith the unknown fear.

To All the Boys I've Loved Before (To All the Boys I've Loved Before #1) Book Online To All the Boys I've Loved Before is the story of Lara Jean, who has never openly admitted her crushes, but instead wrote each boy a letter about how she felt, sealed it, and hid it in a box under her bed. But one day Lara Jean discovers that somehow her secret box of letters has been mailed, causing all her crushes from her past to confront her about the letters: her first kiss, the boy from summer camp, even her sister's ex-boyfriend, Josh. As she learns to deal with her past loves face to face, Lara Jean discovers that something good may come out of these letters after all. *************** 1 JOSH IS MARGOT'S BOYFRIEND, BUT I guess you could say my whole family is a little in love with him. It's hard to say who most of all. Before he was Margot's boyfriend, he was just Josh. He was always there. I say always, but I guess that's not true. He moved next door five years ago but it feels like always. My dad loves Josh because he's a boy and my dad is surrounded by girls. I mean it: all day long he is surrounded by females. My dad is an ob-gyn, and he also happens to be the father of three daughters, so it's like girls, girls, girls all day. He also likes Josh because Josh likes comics and he'll go fishing with him. My dad tried to take us fishing once, and I cried when my shoes got mud on them, and Margot cried when her book got wet, and Kitty cried because Kitty was still practically a baby. Kitty loves Josh because he'll play cards with her and not get bored. Or at least pretend to not get bored. They make deals with each other - if I win this next hand, you have to make me a toasted crunchy-peanut-butter-sandwich, no crusts. That's Kitty. Inevitably there won't be crunchy peanut butter and Josh will say too bad, pick something else. But then Kitty will wear him down and he'll run out and buy some, because that's Josh. If I had to say why Margot loves him, I think maybe I would say it's because we all do. We are in the living room, Kitty is pasting pictures of dogs to a giant piece of cardboard. There's paper and scraps all around her. Humming to herself, she says, "When Daddy asks me what I want for Christmas, I am just going to say, ‘Pick any one of these breeds and we'll be good.'?" Margot and Josh are on the couch; I'm lying on the floor, watching TV. Josh popped a big bowl of popcorn, and I devote myself to it, handfuls and handfuls of it. A commercial comes on for perfume: a girl is running around the streets of Paris in an orchid-colored halter dress that is thin as tissue paper. What I wouldn't give to be that girl in that tissue-paper dress running around Paris in springtime! I sit up so suddenly I choke on a kernel of popcorn. Between coughs I say, "Margot, let's meet in Paris for my spring break!" I'm already picturing myself twirling with a pistachio macaron in one hand and a raspberry one in the other. Margot's eyes light up. "Do you think D

Upon seeing that Consuela Xia was working towards getting herself dead drunk, Sheryl Xia immediately snatched her glass away from her. What nobody noticed was how she discretely slipped a sinister looking pill into the said glass. "Why are you here?" Consuela Xia asked as she giggled like a little school girl. Her liveliness, however, severely contrasted with the lifelessness behind her eyes. "Look at yourself. How could a woman let herself get this dunk?! Our parents will definitely get mad at you...

(*TN: Cinnabar is a similar color to blood, and cinnabar between the brows symbolizes beauty.

As the cold winter wind passed through, the candle that was set on the table flickered before ultimately going out, as it was unable to defend against the strong winds. "Your Highness, you should go rest." A girl in ragged garments came over to help up the woman sitting on the ground. "No matter." A faint trace of melancholy shown through the woman's voice, as she didn't hold the girl's hand but merely said, "Yizhu, you go and rest, I want to sit here alone." After hearing the woman's orders, Yizhu withdrew without turning her head. As she watched Yizhu leave, her lips helplessly burst into a smile. Perhaps, today will be her death anniversary.

Where is my pearl necklace?" Barbara yelled from outside the door. Startled by her voice, I stuffed the pearl necklace back into the wooden box in a hurry, and then stashed the box under the pillow to hide it. I had barely straightened up from the bed when the wooden door of the room was kicked open. Barbara rushed in with a group of werewolves, followed by Luna Debra, whose face was covered with a thick layer of foundation, but unfortunately, it could not hide the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. These two women always dressed up extravagantly, as if they wanted to flaunt all the jewelry they owned in a single outfit. "Luna Debra, Miss Barbara, what can I do for you?" I asked politely, saluting them as usual with a friendly smile on my face. "Jennifer, where's the pearl necklace I usually wear?" Barbara growled, grabbing my collar and glaring at me. "You bitch! You always have sticky fingers. You're the one who cleans my room. Where did my favorite pearl necklace go? I can't find it. Did you steal it?""Miss Barbara, I didn't take anything from your room. You can't accuse me without evidence," I replied patiently in a tone that was neither humble nor pushy. "You shameless bitch! How dare you talk to me like that? You want evidence? Let's find it right now!" Barbara spat, shoving me backward. Then, she turned to the werewolves she had brought along and ordered them to search my room. My small and shabby room was soon turned upside down. The old quilt on the bed was thrown to the floor, and the small wooden table and stool were kicked over with loud thuds. W...

However, before she could give her bank card to the shop assistant, an arrogant female voice came from behind her. "This necklace doesn't look very striking. However, it's unexpectedly a limited edition... I'll take it then!" The woman's voice was sweet and feminine, but it had an arrogant tone to it that was enough to make anyone feel annoyed.

Hearing this, Sherry Xu was stunned for a moment, and wrinkled her nose wit...

Mr. Untouchable (Billionaire #1) Women are born liars. They will suck the life out of you until you don't believe in yourself. That is how the universe revolves. So my rules are simple. One night. No real names. No repeats. Every week, it should be a different woman. She should be blonde, sexy, and preferably not expecting for more... Until one liar changes everything. *** Once upon a time, I had a crush on the intense, smoldering, sexy beast, Lucas Alejandro. I first saw him at my mom and my step-father's wedding. But, I don't think he would ever notice me. Because for Luke, I was off-limits. But after six long years, a twist of fate could be a little playful. *************** LUKE Cambridge was nothing more but a place my father threw me to spend the next six months of living. It was where I lost everything that shined brightly before my eyes. And this was where I built my dreams, but shattered into a thousand pieces. Every friend I had in this dump was now an enemy. This was where "loyalty" and "compassion" was ripped from me. To deal with everything once more, I should at least enjoy myself in every possible way. I'd booked a suite at the Ritz Carlton, where I was leaning on the bed, tangling the hair of a woman devouring my shaft. She was teasingly sliding her tongue around my tip. "Do you want it like this?" She looked up at me. I groaned and didn't answer. I pushed her head down as she pressed her lips to cover my whole. Over the whole three hours, I bent her over the table and fucked her endlessly. It was satisfying, yes, but in the next few days, I had to find someone else. And then she took me in her mouth again. The pleasure was building up through me, my legs stiffened, and my body was telling me to let go. I slightly pushed her head away, but she didn't move. She went down deeper and sucked me harder. I scowled and tried to pull her even more, but it was too late, but I came in her mouth. She looked at me, hungrily, and then she swallowed every last drop. Not bad. When she's finally moving away, I sprang then zipped my pants. "It's my first time swallowing, you know, " she informed. "You shouldn't have, " I said coldly. I need to go. "Shal...

I'm actually going to the office but not for duty." I take my seat and open the cover of my favorite chocolate pancakes on the table. Thank you for this girl for being my breakfast maker. "But for what?" "Guess what?" I shoved the first pancake in my mouth. " Wait--- for higher position?" she's already seated beside me. "No, but for another position. Uhm... additional position."
