My father's adopted daughter was only locked in the cramped storage closet for around fifteen minutes, yet he punished me by tying me up and throwing me inside. He even sealed off the ventilation with towels. "As Wendy's older sister, if you can't take care of her, then you should also experience how scared she was," he declared coldly. He knew I was claustrophobic, but my desperate pleas for mercy, my terror, were met with nothing but heartless reprimands. "Let this be a lesson on how to be a good sister." As the last sliver of light disappeared, swallowed by the oppressive darkness, I struggled helplessly. A week passed before my father finally remembered my existence and decided it was time to end my punishment. "Let's hope this week served as a good lesson for you, Jennifer. If this happens again, you will no longer be allowed in this house." He would never know that I had already taken my last breath in that suffocating room. My body had begun to rot in the darkness.

For three years, I’d used my family’s connections to bring the company hundreds of millions in revenue. But at the quarterly meeting, the new intern stood before everyone, displaying my attendance and expense reports, and accused me of “unexcused absences” and “squandering company funds.” “These high-end clubs, these restaurants…” she declared, her voice ringing with self-righteousness. “She spends thousands of dollars every time! These are completely unnecessary expenses.” “I strongly advise the CEO to fire her immediately and save the company’s cash flow.” I glanced at Claude, the CEO. My old classmate. He knew exactly how much revenue each of those meetings generated. He also knew that when I wasn't in the office, I was at some bar, negotiating with investors, sometimes drinking until my stomach turned. But he just stared at me coldly. “Caroline, what’s your explanation for the absences and expenses Lia has presented?” I smiled. “I have nothing to explain.” They would all learn, very soon, the consequences of this little stunt.

Seraphina once believed she was the vampire prince Alistair's one true love. Five years ago, he rescued her and declared her his soulmate. But when she was attacked by werewolves while pregnant, he sent all the healers to her stepsister Isabella, who had forged a "life bond" with him, causing her to miscarry. Over five years, he favored Isabella—stealing Seraphina's paintings, giving her the studio key, and planting flowers that Seraphina was allergic to. After the truth came out, she faked her death and escaped under the alias Phoebe Miller. She later became an art restorer, was discovered by gallery owner Julian, and rebuilt her life independently. Isabella died in prison, and Alistair, consumed by regret, became an arbiter. A year later, her Light and Shadow series succeeded, and holding Julian's hand, she finally found a peaceful life.

Three days before my marking ceremony, someone set fire to the bridal shop while I was inside trying on my ceremonial dress. Alpha Marcus threw the arsonist into the pack prison, sentencing them to the harshest punishment our laws allowed. I lay in the hospital bed, my body covered in third-degree burns, refusing to wake fully as the reality of my disfigurement sank in. In my semi-conscious state, I heard Marcus speaking with the pack's healing witch. "Alpha, we can still heal her completely with the ancient magic. If we wait any longer, Sarah will bear these scars for life! You just want Miss Rachel to be your Luna at the marking ceremony. This is cruel beyond measure!" "Let her keep the scars. I'll provide for her for the rest of her life, but if she's healed, she'll definitely cause trouble at the marking ceremony." "I promised Rachel that her pup would be welcomed into the pack with full honors. Only when Sarah is completely disfigured will she be grateful enough to raise Rachel's child as her own. The scars are necessary - at least this way, she won't dare mistreat the pup." In the corner of the room, where no one was watching, a tear slid down my burned cheek. So this was the truth. The marking ceremony I'd dreamed of was nothing but a lie. The mate bond I longed for would be my death sentence. If that's how it had to be, I would give him what he wanted.

Vera is an ordinary girl at Emerald Valley High School who has long suffered from bullying, but she hides a secret that no one knows—her father, Arthur, is a former mob cleaner; her mother, Trice, is a queen of financial short-selling; and her brother, Julian, is a top-tier hacker with a yandere streak. After the bullies are invited to her home as guests, the entire family sets a terrifying trap, and her brother lures the three bullies into an abandoned factory for a "game" of torture, forcing them to tear each other apart and confess their own crimes.

In the end, the bullies kneel and apologize in public, while their families go bankrupt and are imprisoned. But Vera's mysterious journal reveals the truth: every event was meticulously planned by her own hand; her family were merely the blades she wielded. The real game has only just begun.

Every April Fools’ Day, Wilson Hale and Chloe Mercer turned our anniversary into a joke. A fake proposal. A trick ring. A room full of laughter. And every year, Wilson was sure I loved him too much to leave. This year, cake cream slid down my face, my ring hit the marble floor, and he still smiled like I would forgive him by morning.

I had left that world because I wanted to be loved before anyone knew my name. For six years, I thought Wilson was that man. Then I learned even his first confession had been an April Fools’ bet. So I stopped being the joke. I went home.

Durante três anos, usei os contatos da minha família para gerar centenas de milhões em receita para a empresa. Na reunião trimestral, a nova estagiária exibiu meus registros de presença e minhas despesas diante de todos e me acusou de faltar ao trabalho e desperdiçar o dinheiro da empresa. Ela apontou para clubes de luxo e restaurantes e disse que eu gastava milhares de dólares em despesas totalmente desnecessárias. No fim, ainda sugeriu que o CEO me demitisse imediatamente para economizar o caixa da empresa. Olhei para Claude, meu antigo colega de faculdade e atual CEO. Ele sabia exatamente quanto dinheiro cada uma daquelas reuniões rendia para a empresa. Também sabia que, quando eu não estava no escritório, eu estava negociando com investidores, muitas vezes bebendo até passar mal para fechar contratos. Mesmo assim, ele apenas me olhou com frieza. "Caroline, qual é a sua explicação para as ausências e esses gastos que a Lia apresentou?" Eu apenas sorri. "Não tenho nada a explicar." Eles ainda não faziam ideia do preço que pagariam por essa decisão.
