"Get in the kitchen and cook. Don't be an eyesore here," Jake sulked.

To get my bracelet, I swallowed my pain and started cooking.

Dinner was barely done when a scream came from the living room. I rushed out and found Sarah sitting on the floor. Beside her was a shattered vase.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it," she whimpered.

Jake came out of the bathroom and scooped her up. Turning to me, he snapped, "What is wrong with you? Sarah is weak, and you let her place a vase?"

Before I could explain, Sarah sniffled, "It was my fault. Don't blame her."

Jake's face darkened. "She doesn't deserve your kindness. She's just a cheating nobody. Probably knocked up by some random guy. You're too nice, and she's taking advantage."

His words hit like a punch. I thought he'd loved me once. Turned out, he always saw me as trash.

Turning away, he carried Sarah to the bed and made me pick up the glass shards by hand. He even banned me from eating.

My hands trembled as I bandaged them.

Then the kids spiked their fever. Their faces were flushed, and they wailed nonstop. I grabbed medicine and wet towels to cool them down, barely able to get a breath.

Sarah watched me, crying fake tears. When Jake came to her, she threw herself into his arms.

"I failed the kids," she sobbed.

He slapped me. "You couldn't save your kid, so you hurt Sarah's? You're insane!"

My face stung, but it was nothing compared to the pain in my heart. I bit my lip and said, "I lost my child because you insisted on divorcing me. You're the cruel one."

"Enough!" he snapped. "Divorce or not, you're hurting people now."

He was right about one thing. In my past life, even without a divorce, he killed our newborn. He threw us into the sea for sharks to tear apart.

The kids' cries grew louder, but Jake kept berating me.

To calm things, I focused on getting their fever down. After hours, their temperatures finally dropped.

But Jake wasn't done. "You're sleeping on the living room floor from now on. Screw up again, and you'll regret it."

He stormed off with Sarah, leaving me alone. I grabbed two old blankets from the storage room and collapsed on the floor.

Soon, their flirty giggles echoed from the bedroom, each sound like a knife in my chest.

Pain and hatred overwhelmed me. I passed out in tears.

...

The next morning, I woke up aching, weaker than ever.

Jake took Sarah out, laughing. Neither of them paid me any attention.

After breakfast, Jake left for work.

In the afternoon, I got the kids to nap and was about to rest when the doorbell rang.

I opened the door and saw a group of sketchy guys. Their expressions screamed trouble.

Married To The Wolf: My Ruthless Revenge

7.4

My fiancé Javen sent me to a yacht in the middle of a New York storm to finalize a high-stakes merger with Alfonse Wolfe, a billionaire rumored to have ice water in his veins. I did it for "us," shivering in a soaked evening gown and cutting my hand on broken glass just to get the signature that would save Javen’s company. But when I rushed back to the Doyle estate, the manor was blazing with lights for an unannounced engagement party. Javen wasn't waiting for me with open arms; he was standing on the dance floor with Blossom Vega, the daughter of his biggest competitor, announcing their union to the elite of New York. When I stepped forward, dripping blood and water onto the marble floor, Javen didn't try to protect me. He looked at me with pure disgust and told the gathered press that I was a "charity case" suffering from mental delusions. His mother laughed while calling me a cockroach, and his father claimed my family’s lost fortune was a hallucination. To ensure my silence, Javen leaned in and whispered that he would pull the plug on my disabled brother’s life-saving medical care if I didn't disappear. I was hauled away by security and locked in a dark storage room like a stain on his perfect evening. I lay there in the dust, unable to process how twelve years of love could be a calculated lie. How could the man I was supposed to marry use my brother’s breath as a bargaining chip after I had just sacrificed everything to save him? I escaped through a second-story window and went straight to the only predator powerful enough to tear the Doyles apart: Alfonse Wolfe. I didn't just ask for sanctuary; I demanded a marriage license to unlock my mother’s secret trust and protect my brother. Standing in a high-security vault as the new Mrs. Wolfe, I discovered a truth that changed the game. I didn’t just have the money to ruin Javen; the deed in my hand proved I now owned the very land beneath Alfonse’s mansion. "I’m not the prey anymore," I whispered, watching the Doyle stock plummet on my phone. "I'm the hunter."

The Broken Luna's Revenge: Alpha's Regret

9.4

I was the anomaly. The Glover heiress who never shifted. To my fated mate, Alpha Bryant, I was lower than an Omega—I was his servant. When his mistress, Kalia, pushed me into the freezing lake, I screamed for him. I felt the mate bond pull, begging him to save me. But Bryant looked right at my flailing body, turned his back, and swam to save the woman who had pushed me. He didn't stop there. To "teach me submission," he locked me in a silver-coated cell that burned my skin like acid, all because Kalia lied about a stomach ache. He watched her burn my dead mother's journals. He let her slap me until I bled. He told me I was a genetic dead end, a defect that needed to be erased. I lay in the dark, my bones broken and my heart shattered, wondering why the Moon Goddess hated me. But she didn't hate me. She was preparing me. Bryant thought he had broken me. He didn't know that the man who pulled me from the water wasn't a rogue, but the Lycan King. And he certainly didn't expect me to walk into his gala, hand in hand with the King, and unleash the power of the White Wolf to burn his entire dynasty to the ground.
