The sound of the gurneys almost deafen my ears, and the light from these doctors' torches is blinding me but I keep running towards the scene. It is 12 o' clock. In the midnight, I know even though I don't look at the clock over my head. With sweaty palms and terrific faces, five gurneys are wheeled towards the emergency rooms by the late night doctors. Even though their mouths are shut tight, I can hear millions of inaudible sounds coming out of them. Each of the gurneys are being wheeled by two personnels, and each time they pass me by, i peer into them to see the victims' faces clearly because I can not see them from where I am.
The first face I see is badly disfigured. It's got a big mark from the forehead down to her upper eyelid, her lips are charred and her jaw is almost totally detached from the rest of her face. Hot drops of blood trickle down her head to her chest and her dress is soiled. She looks like she is no longer breathing and just as the ambulance pass by me, I see something in her hands-A red neck piece. She is clutching it tightly like it is her whole life. My red neck piece. Yes, this victim is my only sister, Jamie but I do not cry. I mean, I always want to cry but I can't. So my face is firm and peaceful, but I am screaming inside me. My legs are hitting the air and I'm ripping my hair inside of me, but outside? I am standing tall. Somehow, with all the swiftness as they pass by me, her hands shake and she loses hold of the red neck piece. As thick and shiny as my hair, our hair(hers blonde and mine black). It falls from her hands and drops at my feet just as soon as the second ambulance approaches me. I bend to pick up my red neckpiece-the one thing that binds my sister and I together but whoosh...it is air. I can see it on the cold tiled floor but when I try to pick it up, it is not there. I fall and shiver with the noise in my head but I cannot cry. I get up quickly to take a look at the second victim but I can't see 'its' face-the whole body is wrapped in a blue satin material that looks and smells like death. I wait for the third but it moves so fast I can't get a proper picture of her, but I do know it is a female.
The fourth has blood dropping from his nose and his eyes are shut tight like he is in another world. The fifth body is wheeled upstairs and I hurriedly follow it. As I climb the staircase after them, I see a woman descending it; her countenance looks disheveled but her heart is dancing. She is jumping and laughing inside of her. When I look into her eyes, that's what I see but she does not see me pass. I stop staring at her and follow the ambulance which is now being rolled into the theatre with calculated moves. I want to see who the victim is, but they are so fast that they enter and lock the door before I can catch up.
I sigh and hesitate for three minutes and then I remember the red neckpiece-the one that fell from Jamie's hands. "Jamie!" I scream in my head. Then my feet begin to move very fast down the stairs. I do not have the power to stop them from moving and they only stop at Emergency Ward 1 and I suddenly and supernaturally find myself inside without using the door.
The neck piece still lay there, close to the reception. There on the bed in the emergency Ward lay my sister Jamie with her pale face and bloody body. Her left eyebrow is now gone and her nose and ears are bleeding. Her lips are still charred and a man in white coveralls keep wiping blood off her face and body every now and then. There are three men around her, plus a woman, pushing and pulling some strange machines on the wall and on the floor, to save her.
The woman is placing a stethoscope on Jamie's chest. I watch her from the corner I am standing. She does it three times and then she stops, placing her head on the side of the bed which isn't bloodstained and I see, from her eyes two drops of tears fall into the soft bloodstained bed where Jamie lay. Just then, the three men stop pushing and pulling the machines, they shake their heads from side to side as if on cue and one of them proceeds to cover my sister's body with a long blue satin cloth- the same one the second victim has on his whole body. I shiver, seeing this cloth because I know it is used to wrap corpses in readiness for cremation. Suddenly I find my voice.
"Don't! She's not dead! Don't cover her up!" I scream. My lips shiver as reality dawns on me. My whole body utter a yelp but they do not even look at me
"Hey Doctors! Jamie's my sister, she cannot die! Please save her" I mutter under my breath because raising my voice doesn't help.
"Pack her up quickly, the poor girl has given up" one of the men say to another and I try to cry but tears do not come. My eyes sting badly. I watch one of them roll her body like a burrito and wheel it out of the theatre. My feet scurry after him but it is all hopeless, so I soon stop going after him.
I go up the stairs towards the fifth accident victim like a defeated warrior and lay my head on the door of the ward like a wounded child. For some reason, I do not want to see any more of these gory sights. So I turn to go, but, I hear a voice
"Hello" I hear someone say to me. I turn around swiftly to face a tall man in white coveralls. His head has hair as black as coal and his voice sounds like several elephants trumpeting. I think he is a doctor here but I am shocked because he can see me, hear me. When he opens his mouth, I see that his teeth are very long and that his eyes shine in the dark. Dark red eyes, and with fingers that look like claws.
"Please sir, I need you to save my little sister. Please stop that man from taking her there. I do not want her to go there" my voice is breaking but my eyes are as dry as a tree in summer.
He moves his head from side to side and opens his mouth to talk. "You're a spirit", he says, "I have noticed you roaming about in the past hour and that's why I have come up to you. I am no doctor. I am here to save you" he raises his arms and... 

17 years ago, Hera Youngworth was switched at birth. 17 years later, her biological family, the Everetts, manages to track her down. To her dismay, her father is scornful of her, and her grandmother dislikes her. Even her so-called fiancé has nothing but contempt for her.Her father, James Everett, tells her, "There's no way the Gaskell family will accept a country bumpkin as their daughter-in-law. For the sake of both our families, we'll make a public announcement about you being our adoptive daughter."Her grandmother, Mildred Barker, snaps, "Your grades are abysmal; you don't deserve to sleep in a room meant for members of the Everett family. A guest bedroom is all you deserve!"Her fiancé, Zyler Gaskell, says, "Giselle is the true daughter of the Everetts, and she's the only one worthy of me. Get lost, you country bumpkin!"Hera's reaction to all of this? She couldn't care less.Later, her name frequently makes headlines.Secret No. 1: Hera's the mysterious genius who got perfect scores on her SATs!Secret No. 2: Hera is actually Raven, the infamous hacker!Secret No. 3: Hera is at the top of the Divine Forum's list!Secret No. 4: Hera is the one who holds Mr. Killian's heart!The list goes on.This plot twist humiliates those who previously looked down on Hera. They get on their knees before her and beg her for help, but a certain someone teaches them a lesson and turns them down without hesitation.Bernard Killian gives them an arrogant look and dominantly announces, "Hera is mine and mine only."Then, he turns to Hera and says pitifully, "Look at how incredible you are, Mrs. Killian. I hope you'll take me under your wing in the future."Hera gives him a cold look. "Drop the act, Mr. Killian. Your secrets have long been laid bare." 

For some girls, age eighteen is the magical age of freedom and independence. For Aerys, turning eighteen means an arranged marriage to a man she's never met before, leaving the only home she's ever known, and accidentally discovering things she never knew about the world, about her family, and about herself, things that have been lurking beneath the surface all along. However, each new discovery brings new questions with it, and the answers could lead in some very dangerous directions. She and her fiancé, Dmitri, must decide whether or not to find the answers to these questions and what to do with the knowledge they gain. To change the game instead of living by others' rules, they must look beyond what they see. 







In his past life, Hayden Sterling only remembers growing up in an orphanage. He is adopted at five and given the warmth of family. Then, his biological parents find him when he is 15 and brings him back to the Sterling residence.
He is desperate for his family's love, so he endures whatever mud is thrown in his face and tries to please his parents and three sisters. However, they ignore him and continue doting on the fake heir.
One day, the fake heir orchestrates an accident, killing him. Hayden's soul floats in mid-air as he watches his parents and sisters cooing over the fake heir, who's only gotten a scratch from the accident. They ignore Hayden, who lies dead in a pool of blood.
It's then that the realization dawns on Hayden—he never should've dreamed of reuniting with his family.
Later, Hayden is reborn. In this life, he swears to live only for himself and the people who genuinely love him.
However, when he decides to sever ties with the Sterling family, his parents and sisters start to regret their actions. They remember the things he's done for them and want to patch things up.
It's too bad their love is too little, too late! 



Willow never imagined that she would be reborn as a gluttonous, lazy woman who consorted with a deceitful man. Her husband was serving in the military, leaving behind a young brother of six or seven years old, who was abused by the original owner of her body to the point of being bedridden!Facing the mockery and insults of the crowd, Willow decided to prove herself through her actions! She was not a worthless woman, nor was she a pushover! She confronted her mother-in-law, battled her sisters-in-law, stood up to her aunt, and along with her little brother, she struck out on her own, taking control of her life!Just when things were getting on track, her husband suddenly returned... 

My childhood sweetheart, who once promised to marry me after graduation, proposes to the fake heiress, May Rivera, at my college graduation ceremony.And just when I think I've lost everything, Randell Gunther—the capital's admired "Mr. Zen"—steps forward and publicly declares his love for me.We get married. For five years, he treats me with unwavering tenderness and spoils me like I'm his world.Then, one day, I overhear him talking to a friend."Randell, May’s famous now. Are you really going to keep pretending with Julia?""I can't have May anyway. It doesn't matter anymore. Besides, as long as I'm with Julia, May can live peacefully and without distractions."Every prayer he makes is for May."I pray that May will be freed from obsessions and find peace in body and soul.""I pray that May receives everything she wishes for and loves without worry.""May, though we are not fated for this lifetime, I yearn that I'll be able to hold your hand all through the next."Five years of love are shattered in an instant.I create a fake identity and plan a staged drowning.From now on, in this life and the next, we never have to meet again. 


To obey his grandfather’s order, the playboy tycoon Seth Cohen had to marry the socialite and sole heiress Evonne Largent. They tied the knot and lived together under a loveless matrimony. She was obliged to marry the hottest CEO Seth Cohen to save their fallen business empire after her father fell into compulsive gambling, driving them to the verge of bankruptcy. Seth had no plan of getting entangled with his stunning and sexy wife, but every time he glanced at her, his body throbs, and he was drawn away. Evonne will do everything to stay away from him and pretend she’s not affected by the oozing sex appeal of her hot billionaire husband; however, her heart beats faster every time he is around. ****She saw the muscles move in his jaw, and she knew he was pissed.“Care to explain? Make sure it’s believable.”Seth’s voice carried a hot temper.There was a picture of her dancing on the tabletop, and Toby beside her was shirtless while Sally poured beer bottoms up straight to their mouths.“What’s there to explain?” “You’re married now,” He growled at her, throwing sharp glances.“Miss me with that bullshit.” She stood up and barely contained her anger.“There is a certain public image that needs to be maintained. You need to understand that.” He muttered sternly.“Oh please, I’m not going to stand here drinking the dirty water you give me as you indulge yourself in the purest of wines.” 



Alex Thompson, the most popular guy on campus, finds my alternate Instagram account. He starts bragging in the dormitory.
"You know that ice queen from the history department? She's not that hard to pursue after all. All I did was invite her to watch a few games, and she agreed to be with me.
"Aren't you guys curious about her alternate Instagram account? Check it out."
Xavier Chapman, one of Alex's roommates and the captain of the ice hockey team, rushes over rowdily. "Alex, isn't it obvious? She's definitely into you."
Illya Armstrong, Alex's other roommate and a robotics genius who has just won the dean's scholarship, snorts in disdain and continues reading his book.
Alex checks the first post.
"To get closer to him, I agreed to go out with that dumb, muscular quarterback."
He looks at the second post.
"Of all people, why does he have to be Alex's roommate?"
Finally, he reads the third post.
"I can't stand Alex anymore. I'm going to confess to his roommate in three days."
The three campus heartthrobs who live together go quiet. 

At 16 years old, I witness my mother be driven to suicide by my father's mistress. With nowhere else to go, the Lambert family takes me in.I then tell a teenage Jasper Lambert about how horrible my father's mistress and his illegitimate daughter, Isabella Stone, are. Jasper's eyes are bloodshot as he raises his fist, looking angrier than I myself felt. "You can rest assured that when I see that mother-daughter duo, I'll make them pay, Madison!"However, when Jasper eventually meets Isabella, he sleeps with her and loses himself to her in a passionate embrace. He completely forgets the anger he had felt on my behalf back in his teenage years. He calmly fixes his disheveled clothes and stares at my bloodshot eyes. "Your sister looks a lot like you, but she's way more of a flirt. You could stand to learn from her."It is then that I realize that, without me noticing, the teenager who had always been by my side has become corrupt.It is only during my wedding to his uncle, Christian Lambert, that a teary-eyed Jasper pulls me aside and demands, "You're my fiancée, Madison! You belong to me! Why are you marrying someone else?" 



She stole my wedding. I stole her future.
On the morning of my wedding, I caught my fiancé Kellan tangled in the sheets with my stepsister. The betrayal should have shattered me. Instead, it lit a fire in my veins.
So I did what any woman scorned would do.
I pointed to the most dangerous man in the room—Drexon Moreaux, Kellan’s ruthless billionaire uncle—and declared, “Him. I’ll marry him instead.”
Drexon could have laughed in my face. The Moreaux empire’s heir apparent, a man forged in boardroom battles and whispered about in elite circles, had no reason to entertain my reckless demand.
But he said, “I do.”
Now, my stepsister’s smug smile is crumbling. My ex-fiancé is forced to call me Auntie. And Drexon? He watches me with dark, calculating eyes, as if I’m a puzzle he’s determined to solve.
This marriage was supposed to be my revenge. But with every lingering touch and midnight confession, Drexon is turning it into something far more dangerous—something that feels like love.
Too bad the Moreaux family doesn’t believe in happy endings… 



I'm a photographer who has been specifically invited by Native Geographic to hike up Mount Morac in order to take a cover photo for the next issue.
Halfway up the mountain, I feel short of breath, and my heart keeps hammering in my chest. At the same time, I can feel my temples pulsing rapidly.
Realizing that these are the symptoms of altitude sickness, I quickly dig out an oxygen canister and inhale from it sharply.
But as soon as the gas hits my lungs, I realize that something is wrong. Immediately, I turn to look at my fiance, Julian Gray.
"What the hell is this?"
Strangely enough, my voice comes out shrill and high-pitched. I sound just like a cartoon character.
As soon as Julian and his junior colleague, Bianca Reed, hear my voice, they burst out in laughter.
"Ahahaha! Oh my god, you're too funny! Hahahah!"
Both of them holler in laughter. Bianca even starts hammering the snowy ground in a dramatic fashion.
I instantly realize that Julian and Bianca have secretly swapped out the life-saving oxygen canister to a helium canister instead just so they can pull a prank on me.
Once they finally have their fill of laughing at me, I manage to hiss out, "Give… Give me… the oxygen… canister…"
After Julian wipes his tears of laughter away, he waves a hand at me casually.
"Oh, Bianca's physically weak, so I've given her the oxygen canister. You're a strong one—just hang in there, and it'll pass soon enough."
I don't bother wasting my breath arguing with Julian. With trembling hands, I dig out a satellite phone.
"Mr. Perez, someone has maliciously switched out my oxygen canister to something else. I'm suffering from a severe case of altitude sickness right now. Please arrange for a rescue team to pick me up as soon as possible." 

Shhh don't raise your voice at me dollface",he says and fists my hair pulling it tightly."your family ours is too much, your brother will substitute for Federico",.
" That will never happen over my dead body,you bastard, you're out of you mind if you think I'll let that bat shit crazy mother of yours raise my brother",I say despite feeling my skull painful burn from him pulling my hair.
"I don't like this smart mouth of yours,a woman should never speak unnecessarily and should agree with her husband but you are one disobedient little bitch",he says and pushes me to the ground.
" I never asked to be your wife you forced me, I'm not the one the killed your brother,I was never there!",I yell as tears stream down my face,they can't take away my brothers I won't let them. 



At death's door, Jennifer Jefferson finds herself back at the age of 27. She's married to Leonard Faron, the world's richest man, who magazines hail as the most desirable husband in the world. Together, they have two children.Everyone around her calls it a life of fortune, but the moment she is aware that she is back in the past, all Jennifer can think of is divorce.So, she takes a divorce agreement to meet Samantha Miller, Leonard's first love. "I'm done, Leonard is yours now, and so are the kids." 




I looked at the child in my arms and heard the growl of the wolf inside me. For the sake of my child, I had to get out of this snow. I felt my heavy legs and aching arms. When I was desperate, I heard the engine of a car behind me.I turned around and looked at it. It was an old black SUV that could probably give me a lift.But as the car drew closer and pulled up in front of me, I knew I was wrong......When I woke up, I heard a roar coming from the stairway and a huge brown wolf hovering over me.He looked at me warmly for three seconds, and the man next to him was scared off. He knocked the bastard to the ground with one punch, "Get off my property today or I'll kill you."He was the Alpha. I could feel the power radiating from the Alpha who was standing only a few feet away from me."Why are you on my turf?" He asked in a cold voice. I flinched slightly from his tone, then straightened up and raised my eyes to look at him."I didn't know this was your territory, and I'm sorry for trespassing. Thank you for saving me, I'll be out of here in a minute." I said truthfully. The Alpha looked at me for a moment, then clasped his hands to his chest and said, "Did I say you could leave?" 
When Andrew Bergman's 99th mistress seeks me out, I'm in the middle of a manicure session.
She tosses me an ultrasound report. "You must be Andrew's wife, right? I'm pregnant with his baby, so you'd better divorce him soon."
I merely shoot her a glance before pulling out a stack of evidence recording her feats of sleeping around with other men and throwing them in her face.
The woman's attitude went through a 180-degree change. She ripped up the report instantly.
"I'll cut off all ties with Andrew right away!"
I admire my freshly done nails, which are painted sanguine red—just like blood. I did spend eight hours on them, after all.
One minute later, I tell the nail tech, "You can get rid of them now."
After all, I have a "ferocious battle" in bed tonight. It'll be difficult for me to put my skills to good use if I still have my fake nails on.
Ever since I got married to Andrew, I've been either dealing with his mistresses or on my way to dealing with them. I've long since become the biggest laughingstock in the upper crust.
Whenever the other socialites see me, they tend to make fun of me by asking me for tips and tricks to discover if their spouses have cheated on them.
Honestly speaking, I don't care about Andrew's flings with other women. What I care about is the fact that those women will fight with me for his wealth.
Besides, whenever I discover a new mistress, Andrew agrees to fulfill one wish for me unconditionally.
This time, I wish to have a child with him. 

The day after Avery Sterling is falsely accused of running over Britney Walker, her husband, Calvin Grant, and their two sons suspend her younger brother above a giant vat of boiling oil, threatening to drop him in alive.Avery panics and rushes forward to save her brother, but the bodyguards block her path and hold her back."Do you admit what you did?" Calvin asks coldly, standing nearby in a sharp, tailored suit. "Will you ever dare hurt Britney again?""I didn't hit her!" Avery cries, struggling against the guards restraining her. "Calvin, please, let Henry go! He's only 18 years old! He just got into Westbridge University!" 

In her past life, she suffered at the hands of a heartless man and a shameless woman, leaving her to die with a vengeful heart. However, the universe gives her a second chance at life, and she emerges with a burning desire for revenge, vowing to make that jerk and his mistress pay for their sins. He, the seemingly idle pleasure-seeker, hides a sinister power, pulling the strings behind the scenes. When he comes across her on his path to success, she claims to be able to help him ruin the Thomas family. He sees her as nothing, but a "burden". Little does he know that the woman, who is useless in his eyes, holds the power to turn his life upside down. ...The man's eyes darken as he challenges her, "Ariana, do you realize there's a line of women who would do anything to bear my child? If you marry me, I won't accept any responsibility.""Rest assured, when the child is born, I will raise it myself!"
