Elaine Monroe never meant to fall in love with him. She never meant for her heart to betray her like this. But as she watches him stand beside another, hand resting on the waist of the woman he’s meant to be with, she wonders if she was always destined to be the outsider. "You knew," she says, voice barely above a whisper. "You knew how I felt." His jaw tightens, but he doesn’t deny it. He never does. "It wouldn’t have changed anything," he finally says. She laughs bitterly. "I know." Loving him was always impossible. He belonged to someone else. To his family’s expectations. To a future where Elaine had no place. "Forget whatever you think you feel," he tells her, voice firm, but there’s something unspoken in his eyes—something that makes it hurt even more. "It will never happen." And yet, his gaze lingers, just for a second too long. Then there’s her best friend—the one who stands beside her when the world turns its back. The one who sees her pain without asking. "You don’t have to do this to yourself," he says, handing her his jacket on a cold night. "You deserve more than waiting for someone who will never be yours." She wants to believe him. She wants to move forward. But some loves are impossible to forget. Some wounds never truly heal. And some desires, no matter how forbidden, refuse to die. _____ "loving him best decision i ever made" Elaine "you are my world"

Waking up crushed under a man, Ella nearly screamed—until she realized who it was. Adrian. Her cold, obsessive husband. The man she’d spent a lifetime running from. In her previous life, she loathed his control. He despised her rebellion. They were like oil and fire. Eventually, she trusted the wrong people, pushed away the only man who ever protected her, and ended up betrayed, ruined… and dead. In this new life, she’d play the game her way. Stay mysterious, act sweet and pit every schemer against each other. Her downfall? Ha! Dream on, snakes! As for her tyrant husband, she would tackle him differently this time except—wait… WAIT!! “He is sulking because I didn’t hold his hand?“ “He is deathly allergic to strawberries? But he devoured one from my hand like it’s a Michelin-star dessert.” “He has sleeping disorders? But he hugged me and passed out like a lazy cat!” When Adrian saw Ella hugging her female best friend? He lost his mind. Yanked her into his arms and growled, “Mine,” like a deranged villain in love. Ella finally understood: no one else ever stood a chance. She was his only obsession.

I let out a bitter laugh. “It’s ironic, isn’t it? You spent years making my life a living hell, and now you look at me like I’m the very air you breathe.” Lennox’s face fell. “Olivia, it wasn’t supposed to be like this—” I cut him off, my eyes blazing with anger. “Oh, but it was. You wanted me broken. You wanted me to suffer. And I did.” I paused, my voice trembling. “But not anymore.” Louis, who had been silent, spoke softly. “Olivia, we—” I shook my head and took a step back, putting distance between us. “No. Whatever you think you feel, it doesn’t matter. It’s too late. You had a choice. And every single time, you chose her. Over and over again, you chose Anita.” Levi shook his head. “We were wrong.” I met their gazes. “Yes, you were. And now, you’ll have to live with it.” With that, I turned away, refusing to let them see the tears burning in my eyes. •••••••• Olivia Parker was once the cherished daughter of a respected Gamma—until betrayal shattered her world.

When she was ten, she said, "When I grow up, I want to be the President!" "It's impossible, but you can be the President's wife," he replied. He gazed at her tenderly. His youthful eyes filled with deep affection, as if he wanted to give her the whole world. When she was thirty-three, due to a leak of military secrets, she was imprisoned for treason, and she saw his signature on the death sentence document. She finally understood that the so-called undying love was fake, and that power and status were the true goals. Love is just like a ghost—more talked about than seen. ... Reborn and back to the age of twenty, she opened her eyes and shouted, "I must be the President!" "But, Madam... Your husband is already the President," someone said. She was stunned for only a second, then viciously replied, "Then I'll take him down first, and I'll become the President!" A man gently pushed open the half-closed door, chuckling softly, "Did I hear wrong? Sweetie, you want to... take me down?"

At the age of ten, he shyly called out "Sister Jiang," a slender, small boy obedient like a little milk dog. She imitated the adults, kissing his forehead to comfort him. When they met again, he was dressed in a sharp suit with gold-rimmed glasses, his every move as noble and pure as glimmering frost and snow, unapproachably lofty. Tearing off that scholar's disguise, he finally revealed his fangs in the darkness. "Isn't this what you taught me?" he whispered, encircling her slim waist from behind and seeking a kiss, his voice seductive, nearly playful as he called out those two words, "Sister Jiang." Jiang Jiu only then realized that the other party had long since become an obsessive and scheming mad dog, in a place she knew not of.

Jiang Wei stood by his black limousine, Jiang Yue by the sports car, and Jiang Cheng by the roofless sedan. Fang Ruoye and Luo Xianxian stared at the three luxurious cars, one more impressive than the other. Jiang Wei frowned at his brothers. “Obviously, Ruoye and Xianxian are coming with me. You two can follow us in your cars.” Jiang Yue and Jiang Cheng both clicked their tongues in displeasure. “But Big Brother, we all miss Ruoye and Xianxian dearly. You must not monopolize them just because you are older!” Jiang Yue exclaimed. “That’s right!” Jiang Cheng readily agreed.
