Seven lives and all with you Chapter 1 1

Leonardo feels distressed, his wife Emily is pregnant and very sad, not for the baby. This baby, whose sex they still don't know, was very much desired by the couple, who waited a long three years for Emily to be blessed. It happened at the right time, but it didn't happen. When they wanted it to happen.

But now that Emily has isolated herself at home, she no longer goes out for walks and thinks she is ugly and fat, while Leonardo thinks she is beautiful. In his opinion, Emily has more beautiful skin, hair, and for him, his wife hasn't gained that much weight, but after completing five months of pregnancy, she isolated herself and lives a sad life, crying in the corners. She has a distorted vision, distorted of herself, and this worries her husband, who fears that if he continues like this, his wife will become depressed.

Emily, who attended prenatal appointments, was excited and smiling, at the last appointment they went to together, she tried to wear a cape and hood, but he didn't let her say she looked beautiful.

She didn't hide, however, she wore a frown and didn't speak to Leonardo on the way there, much less on the way back.

Not knowing what to do to please his wife, Leonardo leaves the house without direction. He has just arrived home from work tired, but the atmosphere at home is not good, as he saw that his wife Emily has a frown on her face as if to accuse him of something wrong that he didn't do.

"God, if it continues like this, I won't be able to bear giving myself direction. Sir, sir, I can see that my marriage is on the rocks, and I love my wife, I don't want to separate."

Lost in his thoughts, Leonardo walks along the sidewalk and doesn't notice a cardboard box. He ends up tripping over it and angrily kicking it away.

He continues walking along the sidewalk, and when he passes the box that he has just kicked, he hears a little sound that sounds like a faint moan. He approaches the box and looks inside, a striped kitten.

Leonardo feels bad about kicking the box away, he worries about his sad wife and ends up taking out his concern on a box on the street in which there is an innocent being, and he didn't know.

The poor kitten is approximately forty-five days old.

Leonardo picks him up carefully and finds himself wondering who would commit such a great evil while being so defenseless.

He carefully supports the kitten in his arm and decides to take it home, but first he stops by the clinic of a friend who is a veterinarian to find out how he should guide his wife to treat such a tiny being that needs love, care and attention.

"Leonardo, my friend, how long will good winds bring you?"

"Ah, Igor, this kitten that is resting on my arm is the wind that directed me here; I found him on the street. I feel guilty because, due to personal problems, I ended up taking out my concern on the box he was in, and I kicked it away, I didn't know he was inside."

"Don't blame yourself, my friend, you made up for your mistake by bringing him here. Do you intend to keep him?"

"Yes, I'm going to take him home, who knows, maybe his presence will bring joy to my wife, who is sad and has isolated herself from the world."

Igor notices the anguish on his friend's face, and like a good friend, he asks if Leonardo wants to share what is happening.

Seeking relief from the weight he carries on his back, he talks about what he has been going through since his wife got pregnant and her belly started to appear.

"I have done everything to please you, but my efforts have been useless, Igor."

"I feel like my marriage is on the rocks, and I don't want to separate. Even though I'm facing this complicated situation, I love Emily."

Igor examines the kitten and confirms that it is in perfect health, despite the "accident" it suffered when Leonardo kicked the box it was in away.

"The cat is my last hope, Igor, if it doesn't work out, I'll separate from Emily."

"Friend, your wife needs understanding. I think the brindle kitten will help. Yes, maybe because you work all day she feels alone, and an empty head is the devil's workshop."

Leonardo heard this saying a lot from his father, a retired army soldier, especially when he didn't want to study to watch television and his father wouldn't let him.

"Go study, Leonardo, an empty head is the devil's workshop," remembers Leonardo.

Igor tucks the kitten into a small medicine box and gives it to Leonardo with the vaccination card and a recipe for milk suitable for cats.

"Whoever abandoned this kitten, separated it from its mother, and left it to die-cats normally wean their kittens after three months."

"I don't accept so much cruelty, Igor, but this kitten will find love in Emily's care."

The friends say goodbye, and Leonardo returns home excited. When he enters he calls Emily, who leaves her refuge with her eyes swollen from crying.

"Leonardo, I thought you left me."

"Don't be silly, Emily; I love you."

"Even though I'm fat and ugly?"

"You're not ugly, Emily is beautiful to the fullest.

Emily was about to antagonize Leonardo when she noticed the small box in his hands.

"What is this, Leo? What's in that box."

"Oh, it's a long story, Emily."

Leonardo tells his wife the story and she gets angry with him:

"How can Leonardo kick a box away, you tyrant?"

"Love, I thought I was empty, I'm not to blame for the cruelty of others."

Leonardo delivers the small box with the kitten to his wife, who is delighted to see the beautiful striped kitten.

"I brought him because you're sad, but you have me, love, he doesn't have anyone, but if you don't want him, I'll take him to the veterinary clinic and leave him with Igor."

"Don't even think about it, Leo, I'm going to take care of him and give him love, and this kitten will be my companion, maybe my confidant."

Emily takes the kitten out of the box and caresses it, and without thinking twice, she names it Xano.

Leonardo realizes that his strategy of bringing a cat to cheer up his wife will work.

Xano feels loving hands stroking his fur and thinks with his little puppy head:

"This human is very affectionate; they separated me from my mother early, but I'm not helpless; I'm in the warm lap of a loving human."

"Leonardo, let's get in the car; let's buy some milk for the kitten; he'll be hungry soon and the milk prescribed by the vet should be here at home."

Emily puts the kitten on the sofa and wipes away the tears that insist on falling from her eyes-more of those of happiness.

She approaches Leonardo and kisses him passionately.

"Thank you, Leonardo, for bringing me Xano love, now I won't feel alone.

Leonardo remembers Igor's words:

"Empty heads work the devil"

What his wife felt was loneliness, and because of this loneliness, she acquired a distorted image of, yes, herself.

Together, they go out to buy everything Xano needs.

For seven years, I drank the bitter tonic my fiancé, Alpha Adrian, gave me, believing it would cure my "wolfless" defect. I was wrong. It was poison. He wasn't trying to heal me; he was keeping me weak so he could replace me with my foster sister, Ariel. When the fire consumed the Alpha's Wing, I was trapped under a burning beam, my legs crushed. Adrian kicked down the door. I reached out to him, screaming for help. But he didn't look at me. He looked at Ariel, who was lying on the floor in a silk nightgown. He scooped her up, cradling her like she was the only thing that mattered. I begged him not to leave me. Instead of helping, he used his Alpha Command on me, his voice booming with supernatural weight. "Stay put! I'll be back for you!" It was a lie. He used his power to freeze me in the inferno and left me to burn alive. I survived, only to watch him publicly reject me for her the next day, with my own father's blessing. They called me a "genetic dead end." They thought I would crawl away and die in shame. I didn't. I limped up the mountain to the Neutral Lands to find the one man everyone fears-the exiled Alpha, Garth Morgan. "I have the Gamma Bloodline Scroll," I told the massive figure emerging from the shadows. "I don't want your gratitude," Garth growled, his eyes like storm clouds. "I'm not here for gratitude," I replied, staring him down. "I'm here to make a deal with the devil."

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

One Night With The Wrong Brother

I thought I was waking up in the arms of Arthur, the man I loved. But as the morning light hit the Hamptons estate, the man buttoning his cuffs by the window turned around with eyes like chips of ice. It was Augustus Riddle, Arthur’s cruel younger brother, and I had just spent the night whispering confessions of love into the wrong man's ear. The night I thought was a beautiful beginning turned into a devastating nightmare. Instead of comfort, Gus treated me like a stain on his expensive carpet, scribbling a check for "services rendered" before shoving me into a dark service corridor to hide my existence from his brother. "How much does it cost to buy your silence?" He sneered, before leaving me barefoot in a torrential downpour while he drove away in a luxury Cadillac. Four years later, I am a struggling actress in Los Angeles, working double shifts as a barista just to keep the lights on. My life was finally stable until my roommate dragged me to a high-end dinner to meet her new "influential" boyfriend. The man sitting at the table, looking more arrogant and lethal than ever, was Augustus. He spent the entire night humiliating me, calling me a pathetic amateur and a social climber in front of my only friends. When I fled into the rain and collapsed on the sidewalk, skinning my knee until I bled, he watched from his car. He saw me clutching a plastic baggie containing the taped-together pieces of that four-year-old check—the only proof of my shame. He looked at me like roadkill, rolled up his window, and drove off into the dark. I couldn't understand why he was doing this. Why did he hate me enough to crush me, yet remember that I couldn't handle the smell of cigarette smoke? Why did he leave me bleeding in the street, only to send expensive medical supplies and coffee to my door the very next morning? "I'm moving out." I told my roommates, realizing that Gus Riddle didn't just want to destroy me; he wanted to haunt me. I grabbed my suitcase and walked out with eighty dollars to my name, finally ready to disappear into the city before he could burn the rest of my life to the ground.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. 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." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
