In their 6-year marriage, Nora never succeeded in making Austin fall in love with her. Upon learning of her stage-IV cancer, she only begged for ten months. "After ten months, I will divorce you. Please, don't hate me." "What game are you playing?" "I'm tired and want to be free." Childhood sweethearts grew old as time passed. Nora loved Austin for 13 years, while Austin gave all his love to someone else. Austin decided to divorce Nora, who was suffering great pain from illness. "Austin, can you wait a little longer?" "Nora, don't love me anymore." In Austin's world, Nora was a restraint, but losing her felt like losing his heart. When all memories surfaced, Austin woke up and realized that the person he loved was always Nora. Nora died during surgery on the operating table, leaving behind their child. "I'm tired; I can't love you anymore. In the next life, let's not meet again. We forgive each other. From now on, we owe each other nothing!" Austin regretted not realizing it sooner and closed off his heart, living each day as if it were the last until one day. "Sir, I am Hannah, not Nora."

Chapter 1 Chapter 1: Can't Live Beyond Ten Months

On September 7, 2019, Nora Foster received a thunderbolt of news on what seemed like an ordinary day.

"Mrs. Hayes, your gastric cancer has reached an advanced stage. Without timely treatment, you may not live beyond ten months. Please prepare yourself mentally."

Nora couldn't believe it; a routine check-up had brought her so close to the brink of the afterlife.

She had only ten months left in her life.

She steadied her breath, took out her phone from her pocket, and pressed the speed dial.

"Austin, where are you? Will you come home for dinner tonight? If you do, I'll go buy groceries now. I'll ask the housekeeper to teach me how to make your favorite dish."

For a long time, there was no response.

Nora bit her dry lips, and uncontrollable tears rolled down into her hands.

On the other end, a cold response came, "No, I have a social engagement tonight, and besides, you don't know how to cook."

The phone beeped a few times and then disconnected.

Nora withdrew her disappointment, took a deep breath, and walked out of the hospital.

She shouldn't have expected much of a response from Austin Hayes. In their five years of marriage, she had dutifully played the role of Austin's wife, but his thoughts were not on her.

She should have been content. Even if Austin didn't love her, accompanying her until the end of her life would be without regrets because she was incapable of everything, and Austin had taken care of her for five years.

Returning home, the desolate air made Nora shiver. She still ate alone, watched TV alone, slept alone, in this mansion that belonged to her and Austin. But most of the time, she was alone. She had grown accustomed to this loneliness, and it had become less frightening.

However, at this moment, she felt panicked. She was afraid that after ten months, there would be no one to take care of Austin. She feared that after her death, Austin would marry someone else. There would always be someone to replace her as Mrs. Hayes.

Feeling the bed sink, Nora, in a daze, realized that a cold body was pressed against hers. She knew it was Austin. Immediately, she threw herself into his embrace. Austin held her waist without any caress and entered her body.

She suddenly became clear-headed. Unable to see Austin's face, she could feel his intense presence. If there was one thing they were perfectly matched in, it was sex. They derived intense pleasure from it.

"Austin, I want a child." Nora felt a sense of relief after saying this. At least, when she was not around, there would be a child to accompany Austin.

"You said you didn't want children. Why suddenly change your mind?" Austin said coldly.

Nora turned her head, and what caught her eye was a sharply defined handsome face. The man's profound eyes pierced through the dim light and met hers.

"I like children. Give me one," she said.

Austin immediately lost interest, pulled himself out of her body, wiped himself with a tissue. He didn't have much emotion towards her.

"I married you at your father's suggestion, but I never thought of letting you have my child," he said coldly. "Don't say this again. Just be Mrs. Hayes peacefully and don't make me lose interest in you."

Nora lowered her gaze, as if a crack had opened in her heart. She knew Austin didn't love her, but she had loved him for thirteen years. How was she supposed to conclude this love?

"Is it because of her?" she asked.

Austin paused, his eyes icy.

"Aria," Nora added.

Romance

5.0

A high-society romance where pretense turned into reality.   Van, the heir to a top-tier fortune and a regular on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, had been mocked for being perpetually single, with even rumors swirling about his "dysfunction."   Winnie, a Hollywood superstar desperate to escape her constant barrage of scandals, encountered this billionaire worth tens of billions. To her surprise, Van presented her with an unexpected proposal:   "Pretend to date me for a year. You won't have to do anything else. I'll pay you $100 million after taxes."   She planned to laugh it off but couldn't ignore the man's chiseled features-the way his shadowed face was lit up as he casually raised an eyebrow and lit a cigarette in the glow of firelight, his voice steady and laced with danger.   She remembered their first meeting in a torrential downpour-the man reclining in a silver Maybach, eyes half-closed, exuding charm yet utterly unattainable. She also remembered later, when everyone had believed him to be unshakable and untouchable, he had appeared alone, worn and weary, at her remote desert film set, quietly asking:   "Do you really have to shoot this kiss scene?"   Behind this contract lay something far deeper than money-a fixation, a love that had turned real, or perhaps an irresistible force neither of them had recognized.   $100 million had set the stage for a high-stakes battle of love and hate that would ultimately unravel.

My name is Katia, and I am just trying to survive until my fated mate arrives. Which may be easier said than done. Rejectection is the last straw. Whispering my acceptance of his rejection. I run through the pack house, out across the manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me and have had to suffer everything I have. She whispers," it's not your fault, Katia. We came to a cliff with a waterfall. The hurt keeps pounding at me. I need it to stop. My sweet girl, and I just want peace, I keep running and leap off the cliff. Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you." The Snow Moon pack is having their last barbecue of the summer next to the waterfall on their land. The adults are laughing and joking while watching the pups play. The alpha, beta, and gamma are swimming with some of the older children and playing a game of Marco Polo. Someone yells, "Oh my goddess, someone just jumped over the waterfall!" Everyone is frozen as they watch what looks to be a child falling arms spread wide, no one makes a sound. The small body hits the water like a plane crashing into the side of a mountain. The alpha, beta, and gamma, spring into action, swimming towards the area the person went under. The alpha is screaming his wolf is going crazy repeating, "Find her. Find her...find her!" They dive and the beta surfaces with a small person in his arms. Alpha takes the girl from his beta, laying her on the ground. The men are shocked by what they see. She is covered in scars and injuries. Her body is twisted and broken. The Beta asks, "Who could have done this to someone so defenseless?" Alpha drops to his knees, repeating, "MATE...MATE...MATE!"
