Chilled Hearts- Love Unthawed Chapter 1 Prologue

"OH GOD!!!!!" I pressed the brake and stormed out of the car, shouting in frustration as my eyes widened, inspecting the damage where the bullet had struck my vehicle. My muscles tensed with fury at the sight of the damage inflicted upon the car door. This wasn't just any vehicle; it was my only car, that I could afford to buy with every penny I had saved from years of hard work. "What the hell is going on?"

Jiwoo hurriedly stepped out of the car, his expression mirroring my shock. "I... I'm not sure, ma'am." He stammered. "But it looked like there was some kind of encounter or gang activity." My jaw clenched as I looked around, trying to make sense of what Jiwoo had just said. In the distance, the faint sound of sirens signaled the approach of law enforcement in our direction.

"Ma'am, we needed to get out of there," Jiwoo urged, his voice urgent. "It isn't safe here." I was already frustrated from the long day of work, and now the sight of the damage to my car only made me angrier. Yet I couldn't lose my composure, especially not now. It was late at night, and I was with my junior, who looked scared after hearing a gunshot and sirens.

I hummed and turned to hop back into the car, but something caught my eye-a figure, barely visible in the dark alley. "Arghhhh..." With a soft pained groan, the figure collapsed to the ground, slumping against the nearby wall. My heart skipped a beat as I realized someone needed help.

"Wait," I said firmly and took a step towards the alley, but Jiwoo tried to stop me. "There's someone there who needs help. We can't leave like this." I ignored his protest and rushed forward. "Jiwoo, bring the emergency kit with you."

"But, ma'am, It's dangerous..."

"We are doctors. It's our duty," I glared at Jiwoo. He complied and ran to me with the kit. I kneeled beside the injured man and asked, "Are you alright, Sir?" It was really hard to see him properly with no light.

The injured man winced in pain as he attempted to sit up, his hand pressing against a bleeding wound on his side. "Define 'alright'!" He grunted through clenched teeth. "I've been shot."

I tried to assess his condition carefully as it was dark. I roamed my palm on his stomach to search for the wound, but he held my hand tightly with his rough hand and pressed my hand on his chest, where he was shot. I stated bluntly, my tone devoid of any sympathy. "Looks like a clean shot, but you're losing blood."

He chuckled dryly, a hint of bitterness in his voice. "Observant, aren't you?"

Ignoring his sarcasm, I motioned for Jiwoo to bring the emergency kit closer. "We need to stop the bleeding and remove the bullet. Can you lay down?" The man nodded weakly, gritting his teeth against the pain as he struggled to comply. "It's okay. Just try to keep breathing."

"Jiwoo, give me the gloves and prepare the anesthesia injection." Jiwoo nodded his head and handed me the gloves. I tapped the man's face. "Sir, look at me and tell me your name."

"Kim...." He tried to reply, panting heavily, but couldn't. I unbuttoned his shirt and tried to examine the wound.

"It's okay, you're doing good." I kept talking with the man to make sure that he was breathing. Jiwoo gave me the injection, and I wasted no time applying it. Jiwoo was giving me medical supplies according to the requirements, and I started my work.

"Ma'am, there is no light; how will you find the bullet?" Jiwoo's voice was filled with worry, or I would say anxious.

I heard his words but remained silent. Focus... Focus, I just need to focus. Putting a little pressure near the wound, I inserted my index finger where I cut the skin and tried to feel the bullet. According to my experience, the bullet shouldn't penetrate the skin too deeply, and thank God, the wound was far from the heart.

"Found it," I muttered to myself, exhaling a sigh of relief. "Give me the tenaculum, fast." Jiwoo handed me the tool, and I swiftly inserted the tip of the scissors to take out the bullet. As I was pulling the bullet out slowly, I heard some footsteps from behind. "Focus. Focus." I repeated to myself.

"Jiwoo, concentrate here." I yelled, but not too loud, when I noticed that his hands were trembling in fear. As the scissors came out, it had a bullet at its tip. I threw the bullet and passed the scissors to Jiwoo and demanded, "Cotton roll and then needle holder and thread." Jiwoo was shaking badly, but still, he did his best and followed all my commands.

"Done." I finished stitching the wound. I gestured for Jiwoo to clean and bandage the area, then stood up to face the men who had approached.

Two figures stood before me, masked and dressed in black. Mafia? Undercover agents? I couldn't be sure. Both were taller than me, but one was slightly shorter than the other. I removed my gloves and addressed them, my tone cold and authoritative. "Are you with him?" The shorter one nodded his head. Maybe it was a wrong idea to ask them what if they were his enemies, but they didn't stop me while I was treating him, so I think I was right. "Who is the senior among you?" The shorter one took a step closer to me.

"He was lucky we came on time," I remarked, not bothering to meet his gaze. "Another few minutes, and he might be dead." I moved a step back and gave a glance to the injured man. "He should be stable for now. But he needs proper medical attention."

"Thanks for the patch-up, Doc." The shorter man gave a curt nod and acknowledged.

"Suit yourself." With that, I turned and saw that Jiwoo had finished his tasks as well. "Let's go," I said curtly, gesturing for Jiwoo to follow. As we drove away from the alley, the distant wail of sirens filled the night air.

"Please don't do this. You will regret it." He cried loudly as I threw him on the bed and hovered above him. He was struggling to free himself from my cage but couldn't as his legs and hands were tied to the ropes. "This beauty is under me; I would love to ruin it." I caressed his cheek with my knuckles and then travelled my fingers to his neck and then to his collarbone. I held his shirt and pulled it with such force that it got torn, and his naked chest was visible to me. I smirked at my sight and attacked his collarbone. "Ahhhh..." He screamed and then cried, "Please leave me." I was biting and licking his collarbone, and he was crying continuously and trying to stop me by moving himself. "Slap". I got irritated, and slapped him, and said angrily, "If you spoil my mood, then someone else will suffer the punishment for your mistake." Hearing me, his eyes widened. He turned his head to one side and pursed his lips to stop his crying sound. I chuckled at my win and then leaned against his chest. ************************************** Alex Kelly (AK) is the smoking hot CEO of a very big company who is ruthless and heartless.

HONEY MULLINS

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I've returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders-the man I was told was a crippled recluse-intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I'd cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent-the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower's security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy-Archibald's secret son-wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald's face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

Landslide

My bank account showed exactly $42.18, and my student loan notifications were flashing red. I lived in a sweltering Queens apartment with my Aunt Lydia, where the air was thick with the smell of stale frying oil and the constant threat of being homeless. Lydia handed me a grainy photo of a man twice my age and told me she had already "sold" me to him. He was a dry cleaner looking for a wife, and in exchange for my hand, he would pay off her credit cards and my debt. If I didn't show up for the date that night, my boxes would be on the curb by midnight. I arrived at the cafe in a state of panic, my selective mutism making it impossible to even breathe. In the crowded room, I accidentally sat at the wrong table. Instead of the man from the photo, I found myself facing Gerhard Holcomb—the cold, terrifyingly handsome billionaire whose family owned the very museum where I worked. He didn't send me away; instead, he studied my trembling hands and offered me a different deal: a two-year contract marriage, a two-million-dollar payout, and a strict clause forbidding any children. I signed the papers and moved into his Park Avenue penthouse, thinking I was finally safe. But when I went back to the old apartment to retrieve the only memento of my dead parents, Lydia lashed out, leaving me bleeding from a head wound. Gerhard’s retaliation was absolute—he had her arrested and her building foreclosed on within hours, claiming he was simply "protecting his assets." As I recovered in his silent, glass-walled home, I saw a call from a famous socialite flash on his phone, and a cold truth settled in my gut. I wasn't just a wife; I was a placeholder, a silent shield used to fend off the women from his past. I looked at the massive pink diamond on my finger and realized the silence I had lived in my whole life was about to become my most expensive prison. I had traded a life of poverty for a high-stakes game of shadows, and now I had to survive the man who claimed to own me.

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

SHANA GRAY

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.

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Madel Cerda

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch-a titan of industry and my best friend's father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

Xiao Xiaosu

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.
