grant ward marvel

On my husband's birthday, I poured my heart into preparing a feast and selecting the perfect gift. Yet, he didn't come home. Instead, I received a picture message—a snapshot of him at the hospital, standing outside the OB-GYN ward, his hand resting tenderly on his childhood crush's belly. Beneath the photo, a message read: [The best birthday gift and a symbol of our decade-long bond.] Furious, I called her. "Don't you know he's married?" Before I could say more, my husband snatched the phone and lashed out at me. "Yvonne just wanted to share the joy of becoming a mother. Why are you overreacting? "Yvonne and I have been best friends for over a decade. Your petty jealousy is disgusting!" I once believed his busyness was for our future, but now I knew—he had been busy supporting the girl of his dreams through her pregnancy. Clutching my own stomach, I bit my lip to stop the tears from falling. Ten years of love had drained away. It was time to let go.

First, it was my mom leaving when I was just eight, to my dad getting killed on my seventeenth birthday. When kids my age were busy studying in school, I was busy working. Just so I could survive. As if that wasn't enough, I was accused of signing a $50,000 loan grant for my boyfriend in a day-old relationship. Furious, I left my workplace, just to stumble into a tattooed man in my room claiming I was his. Just what exactly have I done to deserve all this? * "Who are you?" I asked. He let out a silly chuckle, then mumbled, "Your owner!" "My owner? Am I some sort of goods?" My eyes widened. ** What happens when Sarah realizes that the abductor is actually her long lost lover? Will she accept the new him or run away like she did years back? find it!

Everyone thought Stellar Rivers was a fraud—a fake heiress thrown out by the powerful Harlow family. They believed her real parents were supposedly poor nobodies from the countryside. With nowhere else to go, she clung to Percy Moore, the youngest heir of the illustrious Moore family. Try as they might, no one could drive her away. But when Stellar overheard that Percy planned to marry the Harlow family’s true heiress, her lifelong rival, everything changed. Fine, he could have his perfect match. Stellar wasn’t going to waste another moment on someone who didn’t value her. Instead, she turned her back on him and reclaimed the life that had always been hers. A country bumpkin? Hardly. It turned out Stellar’s real family was wealthier and more powerful than anyone could imagine. With four influential uncles showering her with love and protection, she was ready to take the world by storm. And while she believed in playing fair, she also knew one thing: revenge was best served by her own hand. Meanwhile, Percy’s perfect world began to unravel. Without Stellar, his life was a mess—his business floundered, his fiancée’s reputation crumbled, and his carefully constructed future came crashing down. Desperate and full of regret, he showed up at Stellar’s doorstep, begging her to come back. But Stellar only smirked, casually leaning onto the tall, devastatingly handsome man at her side. “Sorry, Percy. I don’t take back what I’ve already let go.” As if that wasn’t enough, Stellar even dismissed the powerful man standing beside her, leaving him in the dust. “I said it before, and I’ll say it again—I don’t go back to what’s already behind me.” Even Stephen Ward, who broken off their engagement before they ever met, found himself on his knees, pleading, “Honey, I was wrong. Please, give me another chance!”

**Excerpt** “Can't sleep?” I ask. She shrugs and turns back to the TV, while I study her side profile. It's as if I'm seeing her in a new light. Her long red hair is pulled into a high bun, showing off her slim neck and I feel the sudden urge to lick it. I move forward slowly, my eyes trained on the pulse beating below her ear. I'm so focused on her neck that I don't even see her hand coming until it connects with my face, sending my head snapping to the side. “What the hell is wrong with you?” She snaps. My ears ring as I rear back, smirking mildly. “Fuck, that was wild I knew you had a naughty side to you, Audrey Watson.” *** Living with her mortal savior proved to be a challenge for Audrey Watson, but since the day she was born, life had always thrown her challenges so what was one more? Little did she know that this particular challenge came with a twist. She didn't expect to fall in love with him and when she finally realized, he was getting ready for his wedding. She had lost him forever or so she thought, but again, life comes with a twist and she realizes that her whole life had been a lie. The weight of everything comes crumbling on her and she's tempted to just disappear. And she did, but not exactly the way she planned. She also found out that she was going to be killed my her half-sister and her tormentor. Will fate finally grant her a happy ending or would she need to fight for her own happiness?
