I sense that we are destined to be together, yet he denies it. I leave the city, hurt, and discover I am expecting his child. Noah is my only child, and I keep him secure by myself. Ethan appears years later with secrets in his eyes. In addition to being a boss, he is a werewolf, and I am his mate. We are followed by danger, like evil wolves are after Noah. Ethan is everything my heart desires, but I'm afraid he'll harm me once again. As we battle to keep Noah safe, I discover my own power, and Ethan comes after me. However, there is now a larger mystery lurking in the background, ready to alter everything.

REJECTED BUT CHOSEN Chapter 1 A NEW JOB

**Lila Carter's Point of View**

My pulse pounded as I entered the large, gleaming structure. I started working at Blackwood Enterprises today. I was both anxious and thrilled about my new position as a picture drawer. I clutched my sketchbook and donned my favorite blue outfit. The lobby was crowded with suit-wearing folks and had large windows. Like a mouse in a huge home, I felt little.

The woman behind the desk grinned. "Lila Carter? Seek out the eleventh floor. Blackwood, Mr., is waiting.

With a nod, I entered the elevator. My stomach turned over as it shot upward. I saw a guy standing at a large desk as the doors opened. He was tall, with emerald eyes that stared directly at me, and black hair. Like when I view a beautiful sunset, my heart makes a weird bounce.

With a rich voice, he introduced himself as Ethan Blackwood. "You're the new performer?"

"Yes," I answered quietly, "sir." He only glanced at my hand as I extended it. He didn't grin, but his gaze warmed me.

He pointed to a chair and said, "Show me your drawings."

I opened my sketchbook and took a seat. I showed him my photos of cities and flowers, and my hands trembled a bit. Leaning closer, Ethan examined every page. For a moment, I thought I saw him grin, but then his expression returned to its seriousness.

"Well done," he remarked. "Today is your first day. Come with me.

I rushed to keep up with his rapid pace. We entered a room filled with tables piled high with documents and large screens. People were conversing and painting. Ethan gestured towards a desk. "You own this. By tomorrow, create a poster for our new phone.

I nodded as my stomach twisted. By tomorrow, a poster? I wanted to give it my all. Ethan gave me another glance, his green eyes keen as if he could see right through me. I felt my cheeks heat up and glanced down.

The day flew by. In an attempt to create the ideal poster, I sketched and erased. I neglected to bring lunch, and my pencils made scratches on the paper. I often saw Ethan strolling past and chatting with folks when I glanced up. He once paused to examine my artwork. My pulse pounded once again as his gaze lingered on me for an extended period of time.

I was delighted yet exhausted at the end of the day. I had finished my poster. After packing my things, I made my way to the elevator. There stood Ethan, by himself. It was only the two of us when the doors closed.

He remarked, "Good first day," without glancing at me.

"Thank you," I muttered. My voice became trapped as I tried to speak more. The elevator seems cramped, and I felt lightheaded from his soapy, tree-like scent. His eyes locked with mine as I looked at him. I briefly sensed something significant, like a hidden spark between us.

The doors opened and the elevator dinged. Ethan turned to face me as he went outside. His voice was icy as he urged, "Don't be late tomorrow." After that, he left me standing there with a sorrowful heart. Why did he behave so cruelly after giving me that look?

With my head whirling, I ventured out into the chilly night. There was something about Ethan that made me feel both significant and unwanted. I saw a shadow moving quickly across the street as I boarded the bus. Despite having a large appearance, it had emerald eyes that resembled Ethan's. I gasped and looked, but my breath was gone.

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

Katie Oettgen

As I lay on the floor of our manor, bleeding out from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I used my last ounce of strength to call my husband, Cole. I begged him for help, my vision blurring. But the only thing I heard was the clinking of champagne glasses and his mistress's giggle in the background. "Stop the drama, June," Cole snapped, his voice cold. "We're about to go on stage. Don't call again." He hung up, leaving me to die alone on the Persian rug while he accepted an award with another woman on his arm. I woke up in the hospital days later. My baby was gone. They had removed my fallopian tube. Cole finally arrived, smelling of expensive scotch and his mistress's perfume. He didn't hug me. He didn't cry. Instead, he leaned over my hospital bed, pressing his knee into the mattress until my fresh stitches tore open and bled. "You embarrassed me by calling an ambulance," he hissed. "My mistress, Alycia, says you're faking it. Clean yourself up." He left me bleeding again to go announce a $10 million donation to Alycia's "groundbreaking" medical research. I stared at the TV screen, numb. The research Alycia was taking credit for? It was mine. I wrote that patent years ago under a pseudonym. They thought I was just a poor, orphan housewife who needed Cole's money to survive. They had no idea I was actually a billionaire scientist hiding my identity. I pulled the IV needle out of my arm. A drop of blood fell onto the divorce papers I had been hiding. I didn't wipe it off. I signed my name right over it. Then I walked into the bank, reactivated my dormant account with $128 million, and bought the penthouse directly overlooking Cole's house. The mourning widow is dead. The avenger is born.

Too Late For Regret: My Billionaire Husband

Too Late For Regret: My Billionaire Husband

Chang An

I was twenty-five weeks pregnant, sitting on a cracked plastic chair at the hospital, when my billionaire husband looked me right in the eye and called me "it." Ellsworth didn't recognize his own wife in my tight coat and swollen ankles; he was too busy shielding his mistress, Jolie, from the "messy cleaning lady" in the hallway. "Just ignore it," he told his assistant as I struggled to stand. "Close the doors. We’re running late for the gala." He left me there with a high-risk pregnancy diagnosis and a prescription I couldn't afford, while he drove off in a Maybach with a woman who had meticulously stolen my entire identity. When I returned to our cold mansion, the nightmare continued. His grandmother treated me like a breeding animal, and the housekeeper tried to starve me because Ellsworth said my weight gain was "embarrassing" to the family name. I soon realized the sick truth: Jolie wasn't just his lover; she was a mimic, wearing my old clothes and using my old hair tutorials to play the role of the woman I was before the Banks family broke me. How could a man who once promised to love me now treat me like a stain on his perfect life? Why was he keeping me trapped in a guest room while parading a fake version of me around the city? They thought I was a broken, penniless ghost with nowhere to go, but they forgot I was once the sharpest financial mind of my generation. While Ellsworth was busy playing house with a replica, I was secretly accepting a fully funded PhD and auditing his illegal shell companies from the shadows of his own home. He thinks he can keep me trapped in this marriage just to secure his trust fund. He has no idea that I’m not just leaving—I’m going to burn his empire to the ground before the baby is even born.

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Madel Cerda

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch-a titan of industry and my best friend's father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

SHANA GRAY

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
