Après trois années de mariage, Wendy Stewart était habituée aux remarques sarcastiques de Michael Lucas, ses menaces fréquentes de divorcer et même son indulgence envers une maîtresse. Elle pensait qu'elle pourrait supporter cela toute sa vie, jusqu'à ce qu'elle tombe accidentellement enceinte d'un enfant que Michael ne voulait pas. Finalement désespérée, Wendy signa l'accord de divorce et partit. Elle pensait qu'ils auraient pu se séparer pour toujours, mais Michael refusa de cesser de la chercher après le divorce. Lorsqu'ils se retrouvèrent, elle était la meilleure designer du monde. Souriant doucement à son ex-mari, elle dit : "Mon cher, nous sommes déjà divorcés." Michael la regarda simplement froidement, "Dis-moi, que faudra-t-il pour que nous nous réconciliions?"

A previous affair had left him devastated. “I told no woman is allowed in my room!” he snatched the papers from her hands and hurled them in the air. “Leave this room! Now!” His resentment was clearly showing, he was furious, as he became breathless. Cold and aloof, with distressingly good looks, Yang Xinyu was the most eligible bachelor of City H. The magazines also labeled him as the most handsome demon king devoid of any emotions who was only interested in making money. Being a CEO of a multi-billion software company, he could have girlfriends at the drop of a hat. But after a chance event he was drawn to the pert and beautiful youth of Wu Lina. Was this love or madness to possess her, cage her? A brilliant and demure girl, Wu Lina was tied into a lifetime of sorrows and pain with two extremely binding contracts. Can Yang Xinyu and Wu Lina be happy together? *** He came and stood in front of her and pulled her chin up with one hand. His other hand snaked her tiny waist to pull her closer to him. He pressed her hard as if trying to merge her into his body. “You know how I yearn for you…” he kissed her lightly on her lips. “Please Lina…” he continued brushing against her lips. Her eyes became misty. She tried her best not to show her weakness to him but tears came unbridled. *** You can join me to discuss the story and characters on discord at https://discord.gg/yqKgCvQ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MishakWrites-111759630206886/ Check out my other two novels: Sugar and Spice: The CEO's Feisty Wife - https://www.webnovel.com/book/14070042506289905 Feral Confessions - Adrianna and the Alpha - https://www.webnovel.com/book/13855323005708205/Feral-Confessions

"Lo marah karena omongan gue tadi kan? Jawab gue Sheina." Tanya Vincent sambil terus menatap wajah Sheina.       Sheina memberontak dan hendak menjauhkan tubuhnya dari Vincent namun segera ditahan oleh Vincent. Vincent langsung menarik pinggan Sheina agar semakin mendekat dan kini tubuh mereka sudah saling menempel.     "Lep.. Ahhh lepasin kak. Nanti bibik bisa liat." Ucap Sheina berusaha menurunkan tangan Vincent dari pinggannya.     "Gue ngak peduli, yang penting sekarang lo jujur, lo marah karena ucapan gue yang tadi kan?" Vincent kembali bertanya namun tetap tidak ada jawaban dari Sheina.     "Jawab Sheina." Ucap Vincent kali ini dengan suara yang lebih keras dari yang tadi. Sheina yang sudah mulai kesal melihat sikap Vincent langsung memberanikan diri menatap mata Vincent tajam.     "Mau lo apa sih kak? Lo ngapain sih masih deket- deket gue hah? Lo ngapain masih susul gue ke sini. Lo ngak mau kan kalo gue suka sama lo? Iya kan? Dan satu- satunya cara agar gue ngak suka sama lo ya gue ngak sering- sering lagi ketemu sama lo." Jeda Sheina, lalu melepaskan tangan Vincent dengan sepenuh tenaga.     "Lo ngak usah ketemu gue lagi, gue ngak mau ketemu sama lo lagi kak." Ucap Sheina yang membuat Vincent terdiam sejenak.     "Emang harus ya lo jauhin gue? Gue bukan ngak suka kalo lo cinta sama gue, tapi gue cuman ngak mau lo sakit hati Sheina, dan lo ngak harus jauhin gue. Lo harus selalu ada di samping gue, ngak boleh ada orang lain yang jadi pelindung lo selain gue." Ucap Vincent yang membuat Sheina tertawa.     "HAHAHHAAAHAHA, hebat.. hebat.. hebat banget lo kak. Emang lo siapa gue makanya lo bisa ngatur- ngatur gue sampai gue ngak boleh deket sama orang lain selain lo? Emang lo siapa gue hah? Jawab gue, jawab gue Vincent" Teriak Sheina tanpa memanggil Vincent dengan embel- embel kakak lagi, emosi Sheina semakin menjadi- jadi akibat ucapan Vincent tadi.     "Gue emang bukan siapa- siapa lo, tapi lo penting buat gue, dan gue ngak mau kalau lo harus deket sama orang lain selain gue."     "Munafik, brengsek, egois lo bener- bener egois kak. Lo bukan siapa siapa gue tapi lo ngatur- ngatur hidup gue. Urus aja hidup lo, gue bisa urus hidup gue sendiri kok, lo ngak perlu ikut campur sama hidup gue."     "Gue berhak ikut campur sama hidup lo." Ucap Vincent.

After the crimson meteor streaked across the sky, human civilization stagnated. From that day on, people were no longer able to manufacture a single rocket, nuclear bomb, airplane, or automobile... The pyramid of civilization, built upon modern science, collapsed in an instant, and the disasters were far from over. The gray world descended with the crimson meteor, like a ghostly reflection behind a mirror, gradually dragging the civilized world into the abyss of chaos. In this era, human life was as insignificant as dust; in this era, humanity shone brightly like the stars. As the great edifice was about to collapse, some saw an actor standing tall atop the ruins of civilization, wearing a crimson robe like blood, laughing and weeping at times. The curtain of the era slowly opened behind him, and he spread his arms, whispering softly to the weary multitude— "The great show... begins."

“I’m glad I save you before you could die from your suicide attempt. There’s no need to worry; I’ve given you a second chance in life.” The last thing that a boy named Claudia remembered was jumping off a bridge to end his own life, but now he’s woken up in the world of Serial Slain, his favorite MMORPG. For years, he had been playing the video game, eventually reaching the top five of the North American leaderboards. He had no real-life friends and seldom spoke to his family, so Serial Slain was his only solace in life. But one day, he loses his only in-game friend, he gets betrayed during a dungeon raid, and he loses all his progress, including every level and item. With no other purpose in life, Claudia committed suicide. His attempt was a failure, and it rendered him paralyzed and cognitively deficient. Luckily, a woman named Virgil gave him the chance of a lifetime by hooking up his brain to a fully immersive VRMMORPG, Serial Slain 2.0—a new update to the original game. Now, as a Tester of the new VRMMORPG, Claudia must defeat the final boss or risk returning to the reality that he hated. Just when he thought he was living his ideal reality, he soon realizes that even the video game world has its fair share of sorrow and suffering. . .
