After Rebirth, My Sister Took Away My Prince Partner
Short stories In my previous life, on the day my sister and I were selecting partners from the snake clan, I rescued the distressed Dragon Crown Prince.
In gratitude, upon returning to his clan, the Dragon Prince immediately made me his dragon consort.
A year later, I hatched a golden egg, giving birth to a dragon child.
The prince was overjoyed and, on the day of his coronation, he declared me the Dragon Queen, gaining the respect of all clans.
My sister chose to marry a strong wild bear, only to become the least favored wife among them.
Her jealousy towards me drove her mad, and during a snake clan celebration, she pushed me off a cliff, leading to my tragic death.
When I opened my eyes again, it was the day we were to choose mates, and I saw my sister running towards the direction where the Dragon Prince was in distress. I realized she had been reborn too.
However, she did not know that while saving the Dragon Prince was straightforward, bearing a dragon child was a near impossible feat. My Husband Dug Out My Kidney
Short stories My husband, the judge, still didn't know that I was lying cold and stiff in the morgue.
After a night of drinking, he lazily sent me a voice message, "Where did you disappear to? I've won the case, and tonight, I'll celebrate with you."
Seeing I didn't reply immediately, he sent two more messages, "Not answering me? What's with the act?"
"Just because I didn't help you with your case, you're holding a grudge?"
I still didn't respond.
Frustrated, he blocked me.
It wasn't until the third day, when he hadn't heard from me, that he thought to check the hospital. There, he ran into a nurse.
When the nurse recognized him, she scoffed. "What? Just now remembering to look for your wife who died on the operating table?"
My husband stopped in his tracks, staring at the nurse in disbelief. "What did you say? Who died?"
The nurse gave him a look that seemed to question his intelligence. "Your wife, of course. I really don't know how you were her husband. She had kidney failure, and you still made her donate a kidney. You were just asking for her life."
Upon hearing this, he completely lost it, desperately trying to reach me.
"Alright, I won't yell at you anymore. Just say something, okay?"
"Don't do this to me, I'll go crazy!"
"Where on earth did you go?"
"You're joking with me, right?"
"Please, just reply."
But my phone would never connect again.
We were meant to live happily ever after, but as a judge, he decided to save his beloved, who was suffering from kidney disease, by unilaterally deciding to give her one of my kidneys.
I explained to him that I had kidney failure and that another transplant would surely kill me.
But he roared at me with disdain, "She was so gravely ill, you're still here, jealous and fighting for attention! Do you have a heart at all?"
Under his forceful decision, I was sent to the hospital for the transplant.
In the end, my condition worsened, and I died tragically in a deserted corner of the hospital. My Husband Forces Me To Divorce
Short stories Derek's mistress was causing trouble again.
He slid the divorce papers in front of me. "Just sign it for appearances and to keep everyone content."
I clutched the hem of my dress, nodding silently.
Then, I swiftly signed my name.
As I was leaving, I overheard his brother teasing, "Your wife is so easygoing. Is there anything she won't do if you ask?"
Derek took a graceful sip of his fine wine. "Wanna bet on it?"
They wagered that in twenty days, at the city hall, no matter how teary-eyed I got, I would obediently complete the divorce proceedings.
When the marriage certificate was exchanged for a divorce certificate, I held my phone tightly and calmly replied to the message I had just received, "After all this, will you marry me?"
"Yes." My Mother's Revenge Book
Short stories My mother kept a notebook of grievances.
On one side, it listed the costs of raising me, while on the other, it recorded all my acts of defiance against her.
In her notebook, I had all sorts of names. Burden, ungrateful wretch, ungrateful daughter...
She hoped for my repayment, yet at the same time, she wished I were dead.
Eventually, I did die.
I left her with a hollow shell, my heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys all hollowed out, along with a bank card holding eight hundred thousand.
"Mother, I've given you back everything, my money and my life. Does this make you happy?" You might like
The Billionaire Who Lost His Sun
Gavin I was arranging lilies for my engagement party when the hospital called. A dog bite, they said.
My fiancé, Salvatore Moretti, was supposed to be in Chicago on business. But he answered my frantic call from a ski slope in Aspen, with the sound of my best friend, Sofia, laughing in the background.
He told me not to worry, that my mother’s injury was just a scratch. But when I got to the hospital, I learned it was Sofia’s unvaccinated Doberman that had attacked my diabetic mother. I texted Sal that her kidneys were failing, that they might have to amputate.
His only reply: “Sofia is hysterical. She feels terrible. Calm her down for me, okay?”
Hours later, Sofia posted a photo of Sal kissing her on a ski lift. The next call I got was from the doctor, telling me my mother’s heart had stopped.
She died alone, while the man who swore to protect me was on a romantic vacation with the woman whose dog killed her. The rage inside me wasn't hot; it turned into a block of ice.
I didn't drive back to the penthouse he gave me. I went to my mother’s empty house and made a call I hadn't made in fifteen years. To my estranged father, a man whose name was a ghost story in Salvatore’s world: Don Matteo Costello.
“I’m coming home,” I told him.
My vendetta wouldn’t be one of blood. It would be one of erasure. I would dismantle my life here and disappear so completely, it would be as if I had never existed. From Abandoned Wife To Powerful Heiress
Gavin My marriage ended at a charity gala I organized. One moment, I was the pregnant, happy wife of tech mogul Gabe Sullivan; the next, a reporter' s phone screen announced to the world that he and his childhood sweetheart, Harper, were expecting a child.
Across the room, I saw them together, his hand resting on her stomach. This wasn't just an affair; it was a public declaration that erased me and our unborn baby.
To protect his company's billion-dollar IPO, Gabe, his mother, and even my own adoptive parents conspired against me. They moved Harper into our home, into my bed, treating her like royalty while I became a prisoner.
They painted me as unstable, a threat to the family's image. They accused me of cheating and claimed my child wasn't his.
The final command was unthinkable: terminate my pregnancy. They locked me in a room and scheduled the procedure, promising to drag me there if I refused.
But they made a mistake. They gave me back my phone to keep me quiet. Feigning surrender, I made one last, desperate call to a number I had kept hidden for years-a number belonging to my biological father, Antony Dean, the head of a family so powerful, they could make my husband's world burn. The Alpha Pact: Love Enslaved, Love Unleashed
Rabbit For my entire life, I believed my Alpha, Kaelen, was my fated mate. A sacred gift from the Moon Goddess.
But on the eve of my eighteenth birthday, he presented another she-wolf, Seraphina, as his chosen Luna, using a borrowed pup in a cruel plot to crush my spirit.
When Rogues attacked our pack, a silver chandelier fell towards us. Kaelen lunged past me without a glance, shielding Seraphina with his own body while I was left to be crushed.
He never even looked back.
Later, after falsely accusing me of hurting her, he dragged my injured body to an ice-cold hydrotherapy pool and shoved me under the water.
As I struggled to breathe, he loomed over me, his voice a roar of command.
"If you ever touch her again, I will strip you of your name and make you Rogue."
Watching the man I loved try to kill me, the last of my hope finally turned to ash.
That night, I accepted an offer to join the Silverwood Pack.
Then, I walked to the forge and tossed every memento he'd ever given me into the flames, watching the girl who loved him burn away forever. When Love Rebuilds From Frozen Hearts
Gavin On the night of my career-defining art exhibition, I stood completely alone. My husband, Dante Sovrano, the most feared man in Chicago, had promised he wouldn’t miss it for the world. Instead, he was on the evening news.
He was shielding another woman—his ruthless business partner—from a downpour, letting his own thousand-dollar suit get soaked just to protect her. The headline flashed below them, calling their new alliance a "power move" that would reshape the city.
The guests at my gallery immediately began to whisper. Their pitying looks turned my greatest triumph into a public spectacle of humiliation. Then his text arrived, a cold, final confirmation of my place in his life: “Something came up. Isabella needed me. You understand. Business.”
For four years, I had been his possession. A quiet, artistic wife kept in a gilded cage on the top floor of his skyscraper. I poured all my loneliness and heartbreak onto my canvases, but he never truly saw my art. He never truly saw me. He just saw another one of his assets.
My heart didn't break that night. It turned to ice. He hadn't just neglected me; he had erased me.
So the next morning, I walked into his office and handed him a stack of gallery contracts.
He barely glanced up, annoyed at the interruption to his empire-building. He snatched the pen and signed on the line I’d marked.
He didn’t know the page tucked directly underneath was our divorce decree.
He had just signed away his wife like she was nothing more than an invoice for art supplies.
