He grew up without knowing how food tastes like, but a dish changed his life forever. As the flavor of her cooking spread in his mouth, his heart started to beat for her as well. He had secretly harbored feelings for this lady, and for the past three years, had watched her bloom into a wonderful actress. However, he just watched silently as the woman he adored, fell in love with another man. In a twist of fate, an agreement bound them together. Was this pure coincidence, or was this written in the stars? As their paths inevitably intertwined, would she turn a blind eye to his love, or would she realize that her heart longed for his?

Chapter 1 Marriage Agreement

"Miss Si, did you know that Adrian Nie has gone public about his love for you?"

"Did you really write and direct this show? I heard that a new TV show of yours is about to be released. Is that just another publicity stunt?"

Melody Si, the star actress, was surrounded by reporters just when she was about to leave the studio. She was very tall. Dressed in a casual T-shirt and a pair of skinny jeans, she looked sexy. In fact, her clothes were so tight that they barely covered her breasts and butt. She was wearing large sunglasses, which covered most of her face, except for her plump lips and furrowed thick brows.

Although the reporters tried to get closer to her, her bodyguards kept them at least a meter away from her. One reporter got a little bit closer and said, "Miss Si, are you accepting that you are in a relationship with Adrian?"

His words made her stop in her tracks. She had never planned on getting into a relationship with someone like Adrian Nie, who was just a rich guy. She had become the youngest actress in history to have won the Academy Award, and she couldn't afford to let people assume untrue things about her. She was a well-educated woman, and a very remarkable actress.

However, she had to do whatever the studio demanded. Melody Si cleared her throat and bit her lower lip as she said, "Don't trust that information; it is nothing but a rumor. When Adrian confessed his feelings for me, I was already taken by another man, whom I love dearly. I hope you can bless us for our future."

Those words caused an uproar among the reporters. It was breaking news!

At the same time, a brand-new black Audi A4 passed by. The man sitting in the driver's seat was wearing large sunglasses. He stepped on the accelerator when he neared the entrance. By then, Melody Si had already walked out of the building through the back door, accompanied by her bodyguards. Suddenly, the car came speeding towards her.

Crash! Her sunglasses fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Melody Si, who was hit by the car, struggled to stand up. She had bruises all over her bod. She pointed to the car and furrowed her brows as she asked, "What do you think..." However, before she could finish her words, she was taken by surprise.

The door of the car opened and a handsome man stepped out. Without any hesitation, he gallantly walked to her side and took her arm. He then escorted her to the car and seated her in the passenger seat.

"Ryan? What the hell are you doing?" Melody Si asked, glaring at him. However, to her surprise, he grabbed her injured wrist in one hand and fastened the seat belt for her before he stepped on the accelerator, driving away.

"Hey! Where are you taking me?" she protested, trying to shake his hand off.

"Someplace you need to go to," Ryan Yan replied calmly.

Looking at the studio, which was getting farther and farther away, Melody Si asked, "Are you taking me to meet Mr. Meng? In that case, I have to let you know that you're going the wrong way."

"Hush!" Ryan silenced her. He then took off his sunglasses, revealing his handsome face. He had thick eyebrows, perfect hair, a sharp-defined nose, thin lips that were slightly parted in a sexy way, and a chiseled jaw, which made him look like a renaissance sculpture. He had deep set dark eyes, which gleamed in a way that made people want to drown in them.

Ryan was the CEO of YN Entertainment, a perfect gentleman who wasn't involved in any gossip or scandals. In fact, many famous actresses adored him for that very quality of his. Melody Si has maintained a very good working relationship with him, and they hadn't had any awkwardness between them until now.

The car came to a screeching halt outside the Civil Affairs Bureau. Without any explanation, Ryan Yan got out of the car and dragged her into an empty office in the building. On the desk was a document titled "Marriage Agreement."

Melody's forehead creased as she tucked her hair behind her ear and asked, "What's this?"

"This is a marriage agreement. It has all the necessary details in it. You don't have to worry about it, just sign it," Ryan Yan said. He then pushed it towards her, grabbed a black pen from his pocket, and handed it to her.

"Are you kidding me? You want me to sign a marriage agreement? I don't even have a boyfriend. Who would I be marrying?"

"You would be marrying me."

"You?" Melody Si asked, her mouth wide open with shock.

Ryan Yan took a step closer and looked into her eyes. "You are in the eye of the storm now. Use the marriage to stop Adrian. He is capable of doing anything. You saw it for yourself when he confessed his love for you in public. He might do something worse next time, and it could affect you greatly. A marriage is the best solution for you right now."

The moment Adrian Nie's name was mentioned, Melody Si couldn't help but think of his cynicism. He was the only son of Odell Nie, who was a very wealthy and influential man. Almost every successful actress wanted to pursue him. A few days ago, after Melody Si had won her first Academy Award, she was invited to a mysterious after party. During the party, Adrian Nie had proposed to her, but when she politely declined his proposal, he got angry and warned her that he would pursue her more violently, even if she was against it. Melody Si hadn't taken his threat seriously, but then, the very next day, Adrian Nie had held a press conference where he announced to the world that he was in love with her. In front of all the reporters, he had gone down on one knee and confessed his love, which had impacted her life greatly.

Melody Si shuddered at the thought. Although she couldn't guess what might happen to her in the future, she was certain that getting married wasn't the solution. "Isn't there any other solution to the problem?" Melody Si asked and looked Ryan Yan in the eye. "I want to do things my own way. I have never offended anyone, including you. Moreover, I have also brought in great profit to the company. I can handle Adrian without your help, so I won't be signing your agreement."

"You need to," Ryan Yan insisted.

"And why is that?"

"It's very simple. It's because I have something you need." Ryan Yan raised an eyebrow, placed one hand into his pocket, and cocked his head to one side. Knowing that she couldn't win an argument with him, Melody Si pushed the chair aside and was about to leave. But then, Ryan Yan said, "The marriage term is for just one year, after which you would get half of my assets and holdings as my wife. It is all mentioned in the document."

"That's not all that interesting," she replied, rolling her eyes at him. She didn't want to get married for money, so she continued to walk towards the door.

Ryan Yan turned around and threw another document on the table. "Are you sure that you want to leave? Before you came to work for the company, you signed a contract where you promised that you would cooperate with all of the company's plans and activities unconditionally, no matter the circumstances. I hope you still remember that."

Melody Si felt her heart in her throat as she looked at him. "That didn't mean that I would agree to marry you."

"This marriage is just a part of the plan. You need to cooperate," Ryan Yan said in a cold voice.

"No, I refuse." Melody Si was unwilling to stand down or compromise on this matter.

"All right, then. In that case, please prepare yourself to pay for the liquidated damages, and be ready to quit your job as an actress before tomorrow. I will email every other company and you'll be banned by the whole industry," he said with a smile.

"You jerk! You're threatening me, aren't you? I don't have that kind of money!" Melody Si argued, clenching her fists so hard that blood started dripping from her palms.

"You don't have a choice here, I know about your dreams, Melody. I know you won't give up your career as an actress that easily. Besides, you've already achieved fame and fortune. What harm could more wealth do? I know you can't refuse this; it's such a great deal," Ryan Yan said as he walked to her and handed her a tissue. Then, he gave her a pen and flipped to the last page of the document. After that, he pointed to the field where she was supposed to sign her name.

Gritting her teeth, Melody Si snatched the pen from him and looked at the document. She thought, 'Should I give up on my dream? The cost for the damages would be a lot. How long would it take for me to settle that amount? Besides, the marriage term is only one year, and it could solve everything. Should I really be resisting?'

That moment, Ryan Yan slowly came from behind her and guided her hand to the paper. The black ink touched the white paper.

My wedding day was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, a celebration of Mark and me, successful professionals building our dream home. But the nightmare began the moment his mother, Eleanor, stopped us with a prenuptial agreement none of us had ever discussed. This wasn't just about assets; it was a contract of enslavement: unconditional obedience to her, living under her "guidance," every penny of Mark's income going to her, and his loyalty to her always, always coming before me. I looked at Mark, expecting him to laugh, to tear up the papers, to tell her she was insane, but he just stood there, weak and pleading, signing away our entire future. The joy of the day evaporated, replaced by a cold, heavy dread. Our honeymoon was miserable, and when we returned, the reality hit me: Eleanor had taken over my master bedroom, the one I designed, and announced she was giving us a measly allowance for our "little expenses." The mortgage on my house, the one I fully paid for, was over three thousand dollars a month. That was it. "You will not control my life. You will not control my finances. And you are not the head of this household," I declared, walking out the door. I returned to constant oppression, her early morning demands, her judgments about my career, her attempts to control my meals. Mark, the man I married, just withered under her shadow, a pathetic puppet on his mother's strings. He didn't defend me, he didn't take a side; he only ever chose her. The final straw came when Eleanor, in a deranged attempt to secure her grandson' s future (which meant MY house), demanded Mark and I legally adopt my destructive nephew. She wanted to erase me completely and hand over my future, my property, my identity. "No," I said, my voice dangerously quiet. Her face contorted with rage. "I am the head of this family! My son will do as I say, and as his wife, you will too! We are doing this! I've already told Brenda!" That was the unforgivable line. I pulled out the divorce petition from my briefcase. "Here," I said, my voice ringing with authority, "Read this." Mark's face went pale as he read "PETITION FOR DISSOLUTION OF MARRIAGE." "Divorce?" he whispered. "Yes, Mark." I looked at him, at Eleanor, at Brenda. "I am divorcing you. I am done with this family. I am done with your mother's insanity. And I want all of you out of my house. Now." I walked out of my house, the feeling of liberation washing over me, ready to fight for my freedom.

For sixteen years, I was a phantom in the Miller house, my entire existence centered on raising Caleb. My destiny was sealed: on his 21st birthday, I was to become his wife, a debt my family couldn't pay. In my first agonizing life, that wedding day led to a decade of imprisonment in their dark basement, then a horrific sale to the depraved Scrap Yard Joe, who brutally murdered me and my two young daughters. But then, a miracle: I jolted awake, it was Caleb' s 21st birthday party again. I was back. This time, I vowed to escape, coldly telling Caleb the "deal was off." His fury, fueled by his new girlfriend Chloe, erupted. They dragged me to their root cellar, where Chloe actively tried to crush me with cinder blocks. Escaping a terrifying encounter with Scrap Yard Joe, Chloe's eerie accomplice from my past, I returned to the party only to be publicly framed. A panicked confrontation led to the tragic, accidental death of Caleb' s mother-a death later revealed to be orchestrated by Chloe' s slow poison. I was beaten, battered, and finally, locked in the basement again as Chloe set it on fire, intending to burn me alive. Lying amidst the flames, every fiber of my being screamed. Why had my attempt at freedom only resulted in such a brutal, fiery trap? Was this wretched family, and the ghosts of my past, truly inescapable? Yet, fate had a cruel twist. I miraculously survived, forcing Caleb to believe me dead, consumed by guilt. He began a meticulous, horrifying revenge on Chloe, mirroring the torment I endured. Then, in the climax of his depravity, just as he raised a hunting knife over Chloe' s pregnant belly, a scarred, living ghost walked into the room: Me. And his world shattered.

Sci-fi

5.0

My wedding was just around the corner. Instead, I was in a hospital watching my mother, Eleanor, fight for her life. She'd suffered a massive heart attack, triggered when she found my fiancé and best friend, Sarah, together in my bed. Doctors said she needed a new heart; I, a perfect match, gave mine without a second thought. But my mother died, despite my sacrifice. I woke up with a state-of-the-art artificial heart, enduring a dull, persistent ache that became my constant shadow for seven agonizing years. Julian, the renowned cardiothoracic surgeon who performed the transplant, became my 'savior' and then my husband, showering me with concern. Then, a whispered conversation cut through the silence of his study, turning my world upside down. I overheard Julian confessing everything: he orchestrated my mother's illness and death to steal my healthy heart, not for her, but for his beloved stepsister, Chloe. He even admitted he saw me as a mere 'vessel,' a backup plan for Chloe's well-being. The woman now living with my original heart, Chloe, later gleefully admitted she was the one who engineered my mother's heart attack. The realization was a punch to the gut, a burning injustice that consumed me. My seven years of suffering, my mother's death, my shattered life – all for a manipulative scheme. My body was failing, but my spirit, fueled by rage and a cold, clear determination, ignited. I would not just survive; I would expose them, reclaim my life, and ensure they paid for every single beat of pain they had inflicted.
