Locked in Marriage: The Wife He Wronged Is Pregnant Again

In the year Damian Fairchild was at his poorest, Seraphina Quinn proposed a divorce and kicked him out the door. On the day of their divorce, news broke that he had died in a plane crash. Five years later, when Seraphina Quinn's family had fallen from grace and she was at her wits' end, the supposedly dead Damian Fairchild returned to the country with great fanfare. At that time, he was the all-powerful young master of a financial conglomerate, with a suitable woman already by his side. At that time, she was so destitute she couldn't even afford her son's medicine. On the day of his return, he pinned her down before the large bed, “Miss Quinn, I'm not dead. Are you very disappointed?” Her eyes reddened, her voice choked with sobs, “No… I've always missed you. I'm so happy you're not dead…” The man leaned down to kiss her lips, coaxing her in a low voice, “How happy? Prove it to me.” She hugged him back, offering her own kiss. After a night of passion, he threw a contract in her face, “My fiancée has liver failure and needs a caregiver. You're a perfect fit.” Her tears rolled out of her eyes: “Mr. Fairchild, one night as a married couple is worth a hundred days of kindness. I am your ex-wife, you can't treat me like this.” The man's face was devoid of expression: “Miss Quinn, with you, it's all lust and no love. Don't be unappreciative!” Months later, driven into a corner by him, she begged bitterly: “Mr. Fairchild, I admit I wronged you back then, but I'm pregnant now. Can you please give me a way out?” The man gently caressed her cheek and pronounced her sentence heartlessly: “The Fairchild Family will not acknowledge an illegitimate child. Get rid of it.” Later, when the truth was revealed, she fled with her son, and he went mad, launching a global manhunt for her. Finally, one day, he cornered her at her wedding, roaring in anger: “You can't get married, I am the child's biological father!” Seraphina Quinn narrowed her eyes and smiled faintly, “I'm sorry, who are you?”

Five Years After My Death, the Mad Emperor Still Summons My Spirit

In her past life, Ming Lingyi married Li Yun in accordance with her parents' wishes. In the eyes of the world, she and Li Yun were considered childhood sweethearts. Many people envied her good fortune, for she had become Li Yun's wife even before the Li family founded the state. Not long after the founding of the Dayan Dynasty, in the first year of Jing'an, she became the noble and esteemed Empress. But in the second year of Jing'an, after giving birth to a prince, the Empress fell into a coma for two days before passing away. When Ming Lingyi awoke again, she discovered she had become Ming Yao, the daughter of a merchant. Great men have always been prone to faithlessness; she could no longer hold any affection for the cold-hearted man in the palace, but she unexpectedly heard a rumor circulating among the people— Empress Hui Ming had been deceased for five years, but Emperor Jing'an had never allowed the people to speak of the Empress's passing. There were even whispers that the Empress's body was never interred in the Imperial Mausoleum, but was instead placed by Emperor Jing'an on a Kunshan Cold Jade Bed in the palace, where he used his blood for soul summoning. Ming Lingyi: "???" Was this the Li Yun she knew? Later on, when a noble guest in a black cloak entered her small shop, Ming Lingyi was caught off guard as she met a pair of eyes that had suddenly turned crimson. "Yuan Niang…" A low murmur, as if afraid to startle her, fell lingeringly into her ear.

Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

They say seven is the number of perfection. For Luna Seraphine, it was the number that ended her silence. Six times, she tore the divorce papers apart, choosing love over pride, endurance over dignity, surrendering to the cruel demands of the mate who never cherished her. The seventh time, she signed her name without trembling. Alpha Ravyn panicked. His mistress, Daisy, the daughter of Seraphine’s former nanny, laughed it off. She’s only throwing a tantrum, they said. She’ll crawl back. They were wrong. The truth shattered what little remained of her heart: the child she had loved and raised for six years was never hers. That revelation became her breaking point. This time, Luna Seraphine walked away without looking back. As her power rose, so did Ravyn’s regret. The Alpha who once discarded her now slept outside her door, desperate for a single glance. But the woman who opened that door was no longer the Luna he broke. Cold, untouchable, unforgiving. Ravyn fell to his knees, begging for her hand, only to realize he was no longer the only one. Men of influence and power now competed for her attention because Luna Seraphine was no longer just a Luna. She was a world-renowned business mogul, a shadowed philanthropist. The most sought-after surgeon of her time, and a cyber genius. Then, a powerful, cold Alpha, one infamous for hating women, just shook the entire werewolf world and the North American billionaire elite, the Sovereign Circle, with a single tweet. “Sera is mine. I’ll pluck out the eyes of anyone who dares to look at her.” The internet exploded. The pack world went silent, and Ravyn… lost his mind. But the real question is this, will he dare challenge the richest, most powerful Alpha in the world… for the ex-wife he let go?
