A mean-spirited and demanding billionaire named Edward lives in a huge mansion with his staff. One of his staff members is a kind-hearted woman named Anna, who does her best to ignore his bullying. But then, one day, Edward gets injured and ends up needing Anna's help. As they spend more time together, Edward starts to see Anna in a new light. He begins to realize that she's a kind, caring, and genuine person.
One day, Edward is feeling particularly grouchy, and he takes it out on Anna. He's rude and demanding, and he makes her feel terrible. But then, as he's going to bed that night, he starts to feel guilty about the way he treated her. He can't stop thinking about how upset she looked. He wonders if he's been too harsh on her, and he starts to wonder if he's been too harsh on everyone in his life.
The next day, Edward apologizes to Anna. He tells her that he's sorry for being so demanding and rude.
To his surprise, Anna smiles and tells him that she forgives him. She tells him that everyone has bad days, and that she understands. Edward is taken aback by her kindness. He's not used to people being so understanding of him. But as the days go by, he finds himself looking forward to seeing Anna every day. He finds himself wanting to be a better person, just so he can be worthy of her friendship.
One day, Anna tells Edward that she's leaving her job. She says that she's getting married and moving away. Edward is shocked. He never expected to feel so sad about her leaving.
Edward can't believe how upset he is about Anna leaving. He wonders if it's because he's going to miss her friendship, or if it's because he's starting to have feelings for her. He thinks about the way she always smiles at him, and how she always listens to him when he talks. He realizes that he's been falling in love with her, without even realizing it.
That night, Edward couldn't sleep. He keeps thinking about Anna, and how much he'll miss her. He finally decides that he has to tell her how he feels. The next day, he goes to find her and confess his feelings.
But when he gets to her office, he finds out that she's already left. He feels like he's lost his chance to tell her how he feels. He goes home, feeling dejected and disappointed. But then, there's a knock on his door. He opens it, and there's Anna, with a suitcase in her hand. She tells him that she couldn't leave without saying goodbye. She tells him that she knows how he feels about her, and she feels the same way. They share a long embrace, and then she leaves.
But then, a few days later, Anna returns. She tells Edward that she
She tells him that she called off her wedding. She tells him that she realized that she didn't love her fiancé the way that she loves him. Edward is speechless. He never imagined that Anna would feel the same way about him. He tells her that he wants to be with her, and she tells him that she wants to be with him too.
They decide to get married, and they plan a beautiful wedding. The day of the wedding arrives, and Anna is getting ready in her dressing room. Everything is going perfectly, until the door opens and the mysterious woman from the car walks in.
So, when the mysterious woman walks into the dressing room, Anna is shocked. The woman looks at her with a cold smile and says, "I'm not here to hurt you, but I need to talk to you." Anna is frozen with fear, but she manages to ask, "What do you want?" The woman replies, "I need to tell you something, and then I'll leave." Anna nervously asks, "What is it?" The woman says, "It's about Edward. I need to tell you the truth about him."
Anna's heart is pounding, and she's not sure what to do. She doesn't want to hear anything bad about Edward, but she's curious about what the woman has to say. Finally, she nods and says, "Okay, tell me." The woman takes a deep breath and says, "I'm Edward's ex-wife." Anna's eyes widen in shock, and she asks, "What?" The woman continues, "I know this is a lot to take in, but I need to tell you the truth about what happened between us."
The woman tells Anna about her marriage to Edward, and how it ended in a bitter divorce. She says that Edward was never honest with her, and that he was always secretive and evasive. Anna is stunned, and she asks, "But why are you telling me this now?" The woman replies, "Because I don't want you to make the same mistake I did. I don't want you to get hurt like I did."
Anna still has so many questions, and she doesn't know what to believe. She asks the woman, "How do I know you're telling the truth?" The woman says, "I can't give you proof, but I can tell you that I have no reason to lie to you. I just want you to be happy, and I don't want you to get hurt like I did." Anna is still skeptical, but she feels a little bit of sympathy for the woman. She asks, "If everything you're saying is true, why did you come to my wedding?"
The woman looks down at the floor and says, "Because I wanted to see if you were really the one for him. I wanted to see if you were the person who could finally make him happy." Anna is even more confused now, and she asks, "So what do you want from me?" The woman looks up and says, "I just want you to be careful. I want you to know the truth about Edward before it's too late."
Sawyer, the world's top arms dealer, stunned everyone by falling for Maren—the worthless girl no one respected. People scoffed. Why chase a useless pretty face? But when powerful elites began gathering around her, jaws dropped. "She's not even married to him yet—already cashing in on his power?" they assumed. Curious eyes dug into Maren's past... only to find she was a scientific genius, a world-renowned medical expert, and heiress to a mafia empire. Later, Sawyer posted online. "My wife treats me like the enemy. Any advice?"
For four years Madelyn had been with Bryson, yet he never once claimed her in public. Barely a month after meeting that other girl, he surged from casual dates to announcing her as his fiancée. He lavished her with gifts and praise, going on about her innocence and simplicity-subtle digs meant for Madelyn's ears alone. She merely smiled, quietly planning her escape from his world. But when the other guy woke up, Bryson came to her doorstep, falling apart entirely. He clutched Madelyn's hand, his voice raw with panic. "Think you can run back to your ex? Dream on-you're mine, now and always."
After seven years in a dungeon for a crime I didn't commit, my fated mate, the Alpha who let them drag me away, finally opened my cell door. He announced I would take my place as his Luna, not out of love, but because the law demanded it. But the moment a frantic mind-link came through that his precious Seraphina-my adopted sister, the one who framed me-was having trouble breathing, he abandoned me without a second glance. That night, huddled in a dusty shack, I overheard my own parents' secret conversation. They were planning to have me exiled. Permanently. My return had upset Seraphina, and her "weak heart" couldn't take the shock. I lay there in the darkness, feeling nothing. Not surprise. Not even pain. Just a profound, empty coldness. They were casting me out. Again. But as they plotted my exile, a secret message arrived for me-an offer of escape. A new life in a sanctuary far to the north, where I could leave the Blackmoon Pack behind forever. They thought they were getting rid of me. Little did they know, I was already gone.
My husband was in the shower, the sound of water a familiar rhythm to our mornings. I was just placing a cup of coffee on his desk, a small ritual in our five years of what I thought was a perfect marriage. Then, an email notification flashed on his laptop: "You're invited to the Christening of Leo Thomas." Our last name. The sender: Hayden Cleveland, a social media influencer. An icy dread settled in. It was an invitation for his son, a son I didn't know existed. I went to the church, hidden in the shadows, and saw him holding a baby, a little boy with his dark hair and eyes. Hayden Cleveland, the mother, leaned on his shoulder, a picture of domestic bliss. They looked like a family. A perfect, happy family. My world crumbled. I remembered him refusing to have a baby with me, citing work pressure. All his business trips, the late nights-were they spent with them? The lie was so easy for him. How could I have been so blind? I called the Zurich Architectural Fellowship, a prestigious program I had deferred for him. "I' d like to accept the fellowship," I said, my voice eerily calm. "I can leave immediately."
Everyone was shocked to the bones when the news of Rupert Benton's engagement broke out. It was surprising because the lucky girl was said to be a plain Jane, who grew up in the countryside and had nothing to her name. One evening, she showed up at a banquet, stunning everyone present.

It wasn't long before her secrets came to light one after the other. The elites couldn't stop talking about her. "Holy smokes! So, her father is the richest man in the world?" "She's also that excellent, but mysterious designer who many people adore! Who would have guessed?" Nonetheless, people thought that Rupert didn't love her. But they were in for another surprise. Rupert released a statement, silencing all the naysayers. "I'm very much in love with my beautiful fiancee. We will be getting married soon." Two questions were on everyone's minds: "Why did she hide her identity? And why was Rupert in love with her all of a sudden?"
