Romance I woke up in a hospital bed, the lingering scent of antiseptic and the rhythmic beep of machines my first reality after a car crash.
But the real shock wasn't the physical pain; it was the vivid nightmares, clearer than memories, of a future where I was dead, my husband Michael married my sister Jessica, and my entire identity was systematically erased.
My own mother, Karen, greeted me not with relief, but with sharp impatience, blaming me for the "trouble" my coma caused, while Jessica, feigning concern, subtly tried to steal my dream journalism grant and clung possessively to Michael. Michael, my supposed husband, stood by, his weakness paving the way for their manipulations, even as I recalled divorce papers hidden in his desk, signed by him weeks before my accident.
The town gossiped, portraying me as unstable, while Jessica was painted a saint, and my mother chillingly confessed I was "bad luck" from birth.
How could my own family conspire to erase my existence, and why did they always favor my sister, wishing I hadn't woken up at all? This wasn't merely betrayal; it was an active plot to dismantle my life, and I was trapped, expected to silently accept my fate while they openly flaunt their wicked intentions.
But the chilling clarity of those "premonitions" became my armor, showing me every deception, and as Michael stood there, oblivious, I knew the accommodating Sarah was gone; I would reclaim my life, sign those divorce papers, and secure my future, no apologies. He Chose Power, She Found Love
Modern Five years after my ex, Clay, traded me for power, we met again at an exclusive summit. He and his new fiancée, Destany, publicly humiliated me, calling me a trespasser and a thief for looking for my son's lost locket.
Then, my three-year-old son, Justus, ran to me, crying "Mama!"
In a horrifying move, Destany snatched him from my arms.
She shrieked to the powerful crowd that I was a low-born commoner who had kidnapped a child of noble blood. The room erupted, calling for my arrest.

He repaid me by bringing his mistress, Billie, to frame me for plagiarism and destroy my reputation.
When my father suffered a massive heart attack, Billie used her influence to block his life-saving surgery.
Alec held my dying father' s life hostage, forcing me to my knees in front of the woman who ruined me.
"Apologize to her, Cydney," he commanded, "or I pull the plug."
I begged. I scraped my dignity off the floor. But they let my father die anyway.
Discarded and humiliated, I vanished in a plane crash, leaving only a wedding ring in a landfill.
Years later, at a global summit, Alec watched his company crumble under the attacks of a ruthless new rival.

"Cydney? You're alive?"
I smiled, cold as ice.

Mafia For years, I was known as Killian Emerson’s only weakness, the anchor for the ruthless crime boss while he built an empire. I thought it was for us, a life he was building to protect me.
But then I found out the truth. My high school bully, Dallas, was his mistress. He paraded her around at galas, bought her penthouses, and funded her multi-million-dollar cat sanctuary.
He bought her a sanctuary for stray cats while my brother was dying. I begged him for money for a life-saving treatment, but he told me he was busy and hung up. My brother died alone. Killian didn’t even come to the funeral.
When he finally called, he sounded bored. "Sorry to hear about your brother," he said casually, while I could hear Dallas in the background asking him to go ring shopping.
In that moment, the last bit of love I had for him simply died. He had forgotten every promise, even the one he made to ruin Dallas for carving "Worthless" into my wrist years ago.
Now, he protects her. He even let her crush the last memento my brother ever made for me, then broke my wrist when I lunged at her. After a car crash he caused, he left me bleeding in the wreckage to save Dallas, without a single look back.
But the biggest secret was yet to come. Lying in a hospital bed, a call from the county clerk revealed the truth. Killian and I were never legally married. The entire foundation of my life was a lie designed to control me.

Romance My marriage had been a cold, empty room for five years. I was reeling from a devastating loss, sitting in the ER breakroom, when a familiar voice shattered what little peace I had left.
"Mark, are you really going to die for her? For Emily Davis?" David Chase's voice, raw with anger, cut through the hospital air outside my husband' s room.
His next words felt like a physical blow: "All these years, every overtime shift, every missed holiday, every time you let Sarah and Lily down... wasn't it all just so you could hear her voice on the dispatch? Just to hear Emily say, 'Engine 32, you're cleared to return to base'?"
My world tilted. It wasn' t about his job, not his heroism. It was about Emily Davis, his ex-girlfriend. He had covered for her when her family went bankrupt, joining the fire academy to be near her, while I, Sarah, picked up the pieces, paying his debts, loving him for 16 years, waiting for a new beginning.
Then, Lily, our daughter, died. The fever spiked viciously, taking her life in my arms within hours. Mark never knew. He never answered my desperate calls. He was always on duty, always chasing the next emergency-which now I knew was always about Emily.
Why was I just a placeholder? Why was our daughter a casualty of his obsession? I didn't understand. I couldn't understand how everything I believed was a lie. How could I have been so blind?
Something inside me, something that had been dying for five years, finally broke. I pulled out my phone, not to call a lawyer, but my old professor. "Dr. Reed," I said, my voice shockingly steady. "You once told me about a flight nurse program. Is it too late to apply?" His Secret Daughter, My Public Downfall

But then my estranged half-sister, Stella, burst in with a terrifying warning: marry him, and he would destroy me, publicly labeling me insane after his childhood friend, Nicole Fuller, framed me.
I dismissed it as delusion until Nicole actually appeared, bruised and crying, accusing me in front of everyone, and Matthew, without a flicker of hesitation, called off the wedding, declared me mentally unstable, and had me dragged away.
My own father, Robert Anderson, stood by and disowned me, reinforcing Matthew' s claims as Stella bravely took the fall for a crime she didn' t commit, only to be brutally beaten in jail.
Locked away in a notoriously corrupt psychiatric hospital, I faced unspeakable horrors, wondering how my life had spiraled into this nightmare, abandoned by everyone I trusted.
Just as all hope faded, my ex-boyfriend, Ethan, rescued me, and Stella revealed the shocking truth: she' d lived this life before, watching me die in that asylum, and our father' s beloved Nicole was his secret daughter, plotting against me all along.
Now, the naive Jocelyn is dead, and the only thing left is a burning desire for revenge. From Bounty to Beauty: Nyx's Rise

For three years, I was happily partnered with Kael, a Paladin who was secretly Ethan Thorne, my real-life tech CEO boss I loved in-game.
Our peace shattered when Kael grew distant, then appeared with Twitch streamer Seraphina, both wearing the rare gear we'd planned.
She brazenly claimed "Stardust_Angel," my old online identity, a viral photo Ethan had obsessed over.
The gear, meant for 'us,' was for 'her,' his new muse.
This betrayal turned my sanctuary into a battlefield.

The ultimate humiliation: Kael placed a million-gold bounty on Nyx, sparking relentless in-game persecution.
How could three years of loyalty dissolve into nothing?
How could he believe her blatant lies over our shared history?
This public torment, simply for seeking anonymity, felt impossibly cruel and suffocating.
Pushed to the brink by constant abuse and Skyler's career-destroying public doxxing, I broke.
Confronting Ethan, I ripped off my mask.
"Because I' m Nyx," I declared, my stunning real face revealed, "the 'ugly' one. The 'scammer.' The one you put a bounty on."
The truth was out, and my fight for total redemption began. The Unseen Horror
Young Adult My mother's fists and cutting words were a constant, brutal normal.
At 19, I lived under her unpredictable rages, bewilderingly targeted and deeply alone.
Then a mysterious video shattered my fragile peace.
My loving grandparents, concerned about my endless "accidents," visited.
One glance at my mother's phone, and their faces twisted into sickening horror.
"She can't stay here," my grandfather rasped, their eyes silently urging me to vanish.
Weeks later, my boyfriend Mark burst in during another savage beating, ready to call the cops.
But after my mother calmly showed him that same video, his anger drained, replaced by a horrified pity.
"She needs to go," he told her, echoing my grandparents' chilling demand.

My world imploded.
Everyone I trusted, every last hope, had turned on me, convinced by this unseen horror.
What unspeakable secret could be on that video that warped their love into icy rejection, making them agree I "needed to be taken care of"?
Was I losing my mind, or was this betrayal a prelude to something far more sinister?
Desperate for answers, I risked everything, stealing my mother's phone and watching the dreaded file.
What I saw wasn't about me at all; it was a grainy, undeniable horror: my "kind" father, the respected community leader, preying on my older sisters.

As her new hazy IPA celebrated success, she scrolled Instagram, feeling the quiet satisfaction of a life well-lived.
But that peace was instantly shattered by an anonymous direct message: a photo of her husband, Ethan, intimately tangled with another woman – his own junior analyst, Izzy.
The world tilted as Olivia recognized Ethan' s watch, Izzy' s clinging embrace, and the dim, discreet bar.
This wasn't a misunderstanding; it was proof of months of his chilling indifference, his short texts, and his dismissive "work crises."
He had even abandoned her, terrified, during a severe Texas storm, only to be "safe and sound" with Izzy, later offering Olivia beer he explicitly bought for his mistress.
The sting of being gaslighted, manipulated into believing her instincts were "reading too much into things," was almost worse than the betrayal itself.
How could the earnest boy who made her a lopsided pottery vase, promising eternal devotion under the Texas sky, become this cruel stranger who made her feel utterly erased and "unclean"?
But from the wreckage, a flicker ignited – the fierce, brilliant girl her mother reminded her she still was.
Olivia shed her tears, faced Ethan with cold clarity, and dismantled his lies one by one, refusing his desperate, asset-laden pleas to buy her back.
Now, it was time to close that bitter chapter and start fighting for a future entirely her own. The Luck Thief's Game

Jessica was there, her eyes flickering with cruel recognition, and she snatched the Corgi, claiming Chloe’s "luck" and almost immediately securing the K-Corp account I’d previously earned.
Shock gave way to horror as I uncovered the truth: Eleanor Vance's comatose son, Ethan, was part of a terrifying ritual, his spirit needing to inhabit a child conceived by a "pure life essence" – a virgin whose life force would be drained.

It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her.

Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low."

In her past life, the sight of those papers had broken her, leaving her begging for a second chance.
