Literature
In Part II, Vol. 2, Of the Rhenish Antiquarius, I once came across a skull that is said - see page 612 to swing, enclosed in a metal casket, from an iron bar in the foundry Of Ehrenbreitstein fortress. Distinction Of this order does not fall to an ordinary mortal. Yon empty shell Of human wisdom once bore the burden of no less than twenty-one mortal sins - the seven originalia trebled. Each crime is noted. The crimi nal confessed to the entire three-times-seven, and yet the death sentence was not passed upon him because Of the twenty-one crimes. His fate was decided by the transgression Of a military regulation.

For three years, Cathryn and her husband Liam lived in a sexless marriage. She believed Liam buried himself in work for their future. But on the day her mother died, she learned the truth: he had been cheating with her stepsister since their wedding night. She dropped every hope and filed for divorce. Sneers followed-she'd crawl back, they said. Instead, they saw Liam on his knees in the rain. When a reporter asked about a reunion, she shrugged. "He has no self-respect, just clings to people who don't love him." A powerful tycoon wrapped an arm around her. "Anyone coveting my wife answers to me."

Gabriela learned her boyfriend had been two-timing her and writing her off as a brainless bimbo, so she drowned her heartache in reckless adventure. One sultry blackout night she tumbled into bed with a stranger, then slunk away at dawn, convinced she'd succumbed to a notorious playboy. She prayed she'd never see him again. Yet the man beneath those sheets was actually Wesley, the decisive, ice-cool, unshakeable CEO who signed her paychecks. Assuming her heart was elsewhere, Wesley returned to the office cloaked in calm, but every polite smile masked a dark surge of possessive jealousy.
