하룻밤 no! 한평생 yes

“Lila,” I began softly, choosing my words. “About last night...” She stood abruptly, cutting me off. “Don’t. There’s nothing to apologize for. It happened.” I frowned, trying to gauge her. “So, what are you saying?” She crossed her arms, steadying herself. “I’m saying I have a deal for you.” “A deal?” “We keep seeing each other—secretly. No one has to know. No strings attached.” I stared at her, wondering if she was serious. But from the look in her eyes, I knew she was. ********** Lila Frost, a brilliant bio-genetics student and the fiercely protected sister of Alpha King Ronan, returns to Silver Lake for a quiet summer focused on her research.

She was in panic and try to reach out to her husband, but she failed. He was unreachable.

To add things worse, her sister pushed her to have a miscarriage, leading her to death and a second chance to fix everything. Will she take revenge or escape from her husband who watched her dying to avoid her son's death?

Upon learning the news of her elder twin sister's accidental pregnancy, eighteen-year-old Skye Valiant was forced to face an unexpected marriage contract between their family and the Alpha of the strongest pack in their country. Realizing it would now fall upon her, to deal with the agreement for the sake of her family's protection, all hell broke loose, not for her but for her future husband. With her dreams of world traveling becoming unfulfillable, Skye's unexpected personality kept the Alpha on his toes, proving that she was not just someone that he could simply consider as his subordinate or his follower. She had defied his every wish whilst also lashing out at the Alpha, at every possible moment, testing the Alpha's patience and control. Alpha Hakan Knox was a twenty-year-old dominant Alpha. Unlike the norms, he had earned his position upon challenging his father at the age of eighteen, leading his more than 500+ pack members ever since. His possessive and protective nature continued to be challenged as he spent his every waking moment with a disputatious wife, as they both learn how to respect each other in their arranged marriage.

결혼한 지 5년, 남편의 첫사랑이 인스타그램에 등기권리증을 찍은 사진을 올렸다. 그리고 이런 글을 남겼다. [강진 오빠, 집 선물해 주셔서 고마워요.] 나는 그 등기권리증에 적힌 주소를 보고 깜짝 놀랐다. 그리고 댓글에 물음표를 하나 남겼다. 그러자 조강진에게서 바로 전화가 걸려왔다. [가연이가 혼자서 애 키우느라 얼마나 고생인지 너도 잘 알잖아. 우리 집을 잠시 넘겨준 것뿐이야. 우리가 사는 덴 아무 영향도 없을 거야.] [너는 사람이 왜 그렇게 차가워? 정말 동정심도 없는 거야?] 핸드폰 너머로 강진의 첫사랑, 조가연의 울음소리가 들려왔다. 30분 후, 가연은 다시 인스타그램에 글을 올렸고, 이번엔 나를 태그 했다. 그녀는 2억이 넘는 고급 벤츠 사진을 올렸다. [일시불로 샀어요. 남자는 역시 사랑하는 사람한테 돈 쓰는 걸 아까워하지 않네요.] 이건 분명 가연을 달래주기 위해 산 선물일 것이다. 이걸 본 나는 마음속으로 강진과 이혼하기로 결심했다.

If I know one thing, it is that I know nothing for sure. I know nothing about my existence, who I am and the one I love. My name is Baela Rossi and although I am a really smart girl, I make really poor choices. I agreed to be mated to this worldly guy I barely knew, who was a wanderer without a pack. My reason? - He intrigued me...he was rebellious, arrogant, wickedly handsome and he saved my life!  I fell hard for him but I felt something was wrong because he acted cold towards me. I was too innocent and naive to believe someone as cold would be my mate after he had the world at his feet. It took him becoming the alpha of my pack and I losing my place for me to realise the bitter truth of my existence - it was all built on deceptive honesty and now my life was worthless! In my deepest grieve, I turned to him as my Alpha and my future mate but instantly nothing was the same. He changed towards me to my surprise...the one who had my heart and he rejected me! I could see the hell in his eyes...the hell he wanted to put me through. He wanted to erase his very memory from my mind...but our fate was already sealed, a fate I could never have imagined...

결혼식을 하루 앞둔 날, 호텔에서 전화 한 통이 걸려 왔다. “고객님, 안녕하세요. 누군가 고객님의 결혼식 현장을 엉망으로 만들었습니다.” 무슨 소린지 이해도 안 된 채 서둘러 호텔로 달려갔다. 도착하자마자 보인 건 한 여자가 내 예비 신랑과 함께 찍은 결혼사진을 들고 소리를 지르는 모습이었다. “이게 뻔뻔한 불륜녀 아니야? 우리 남편을 유혹하더니 그 돈으로 이렇게 호화로운 결혼식을 준비했다고?” 그 말에 순식간에 사람들 사이에 분노가 퍼졌다. 호텔 매니저조차 비난을 멈추지 않았다. “그러게요. 결혼식 준비 내내 신랑 얼굴 한 번 못 본 게 이상하다 했는데 원래 와이프가 따로 있었군요.” 결국 더 많은 구경꾼이 몰려들었고 분위기는 격앙되어 나를 마구잡이로 몰아세웠다. 그 과정에서 난 결국 아이를 잃고 말았다. 분노에 치를 떨며 난 웃음이 나왔다. 곧장 비서에게 메시지를 보냈다. “내일 결혼식 취소하고 진상혁한테 회사에서 당장 꺼지라고 전해!” 내 돈으로 다른 여자를 챙기고도 이렇게까지 뻔뻔할 줄이야! 좋아. 내가 어떻게 너희를 박살 내는지 한번 두고 보자고.

Five years had gone by since my death. The cops called my mom and told her they got news about me. My mother and brother marched to my grandmother's home and kicked her door down. "Where's Charlie? That shameless woman has been hiding from us far too long. Her brother needs her cornea, and she's giving it to him!" "Charlie's dead," said my grandmother, sobbing. My mother sneered. "As if. The cops called us. They said they had her news. Hand her over or get out of the house, you hag." My grandmother looked at her daughter, tears streaming down her cheeks. With trembling hands, she took my photo out. "I wonder if you've ever regretted saving your brother, Charlie."
