On their third wedding anniversary, Clark Summer gifted his wife a diamond necklace named "Love Nyla," broadcasting his devotion to the world. But while the public swooned, Nyla sat alone in their empty home, staring at a photo sent by a stranger: her husband’s new secretary, Jordyn, wearing that same necklace, tangled in Clark’s arms. For three years, Nyla had been the perfect, submissive wife. In return, she received betrayal, humiliation from her mother-in-law, and Clark’s sickening justification that his affair was merely a "physical necessity" while he still loved her. He believed Nyla was trapped, tethered to him by her father’s astronomical medical bills. He thought she would swallow the insults and raise his mistress's child. He was wrong. Selling their mansion, gathering evidence, and delivering irrefutable proof of her infidelity… Nera turned and left, donning a white lab coat instead of an apron, transforming overnight into a top-tier pharmaceutical researcher who had astonished the industry. When Clark, with belated repentance and red-eyed pleading for her return, saw his icy ex-wife being gently embraced by his uncle Damon, he saw the aloof man before him. The superior man coldly glanced at his nephew, his voice low and dangerous: "What are you calling 'wife'? Call her 'auntie'."

HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back)

“Let me be your real wife for just one month, Daven.” It was a simple request—one that sounded like the last plea of a heartbroken woman. But to Althea Grayson, it was her pride. The price she asked for the love she had given, yet never once received in return. She had known from the start: their marriage was never about love. Daven Callister had married her out of duty, pressured by his grandmother. There were no tender embraces, no loving glances—only cold silence and an empty house that never felt like home. Still, Althea held on. She tried to be a good wife, clinging to the hope that one day, Daven’s heart might soften. But her hope was shattered by betrayal—Daven wanted to marry someone else. The woman he truly loved. With or without Althea’s consent. And his entire family stood behind his decision. Heartbroken and disillusioned, Althea made one final request: one month of being loved like a real wife. One month... before she walked away forever. Daven thought it was a desperate move—pathetic, even. But that single month changed everything. The way Althea smiled, the way she loved so fully. Even the way she left—left something behind that lingered in Daven’s heart. And now, Daven was lost. When the love he had never once recognized finally revealed itself... was it already too late? Or should he fight against everything—just for one more chance?

REBORN: My Second Life. I Became The Villianess

They say history repeats itself, but they didn’t count on the fact that I’ve already lived this life and I’m the only one who knows how it ends. I was the Vexari family’s little secret, the girl they shipped off the second I was a burden. They spent twelve years pretending I didn't exist while they groomed my older sister Nysa to be the perfect heiress, never dreaming that their discarded daughter was actually a woman with eighteen years of memories and a brain wired for cold-blooded revenge. While they were busy playing billionaire dress-up, I was busy becoming a triple-threat: I built a shadow company that owned half their tech, I can fight like I’ve got nothing to lose, and I’ve got enough digital dirt to burn the entire empire to the ground. Now, I was walking back through those doors at eighteen, looking like the same quiet, pathetic mouse they abandoned. They think they’re bringing me home to be a pawn, but they’re dead wrong. I’m not here for their love or their inheritance; I’m here to dismantle their perfect lives from the inside out. Nysa is desperate to marry the untouchable Dario Valteri to keep her secrets buried, but she doesn’t realize that the moment he laid eyes on me, her carefully laid plans started to fracture. He doesn't want the perfect heiress anymore; he’s fixated on the "forgotten" sister, and he has no idea that the girl he's hunting is the one holding the match to burn his world down too. The game is finally rigged in my favor, and watching them realize they’ve been outplayed by their own "little sister" is going to be the sweetest part of the show.

Into the Night Without You

By the time Ethan Tanner returned from Harbor City, my father had already been dead for two days. He looked like he hadn't slept all night. His black shirt was badly wrinkled, and his eyes were bloodshot. The moment he saw me, he stopped short and reached out to pull me into his arms. I instinctively stepped away. His hand froze in midair. "Why didn't you tell me you were in a car accident?" I lowered my head and continued sorting through Dad's belongings. "My phone was smashed in the crash. And after I woke up, I didn't think there was any reason to tell you." He went still. That night had been his college sweetheart Chloe Lawson's first official performance as the lead in Harbor City. Someone had posted a photo on social media. Ethan was sitting on the backstage stairs of the theater. Chloe had his jacket draped over her shoulders, her head bowed as she cried. The caption read: 'Thank God that when things were at their worst, someone from the past was still there.' By the time that photo was posted, I had just woken up in the ER. My right hand had needed twelve stitches, and blood was still seeping through the gauze. The doctor asked if there was any other family member they could call. I was silent for a long time. Then I shook my head. Ethan's expression changed instantly. "Chloe had an accident before her performance that night. She completely broke down, so I stayed with her at the hospital the whole time—" I didn't look up. I simply pushed the papers on the coffee table toward him. "It's over now. The funeral arrangements are already being handled, and my injuries have been treated." I paused. "Since you're back, there's one more thing we can take care of." He looked down. Three words were printed across the front page. 'Divorce Settlement Agreement.' I gave him a small smile. "Sign it."

After a Year of Silence

A friend asked why I wasn’t willing to give him another chance. I couldn’t help complaining. “Right now, he and I are practically strangers. “When we’re together, we have nothing to say to each other. It’s so awkward I could dig a whole house out of the floor.” My friend’s expression suddenly changed. Her eyes darted toward someone in the distance. I turned and saw Adrian standing frozen, his face pale. I felt even more awkward. Great. Now I could dig out a whole magic castle.
