Chapter 1

The sound of water splashing came from the bathroom. Through the door, the silhouette of the man inside could be vaguely seen. That was my husband, Jack Clarke. I sat in the living room, tidying up my clothes.

Every time he came home from work, he would take a shower first. Perhaps it was a doctor's habit to be overly concerned with hygiene. Even after more than two years of marriage, he hadn't changed this habit.

The phone on the coffee table rang with a "ding ding ding," and a message appeared on the screen. I couldn't help but glance at it.

"I'll meet you at the usual place tomorrow."

Looking at the message, I felt a pang of guilt, but I was also puzzled. Who could it be? I couldn't shake the feeling it was from a woman.

Just then, the sound of water stopped abruptly. I quickly put the phone back as if nothing had happened, trying to calm my unease.

He walked out, already dressed neatly.

He said in a flat tone, "I'm leaving."

We had an unspoken rule not to stay over, even though we were married, we both adhered to the rules.

"Could you... not leave tonight?" My voice trembled, my anxiety evident.

For the past two years, my love felt like walking on thin ice, afraid of the slightest disturbance.

"Is there something you need?" he asked, expressionless.

"I have..." Just then, his phone rang, interrupting what I wanted to say. He answered the call and left as he spoke.

That night felt especially long.

The next day, I went to work with dark circles under my eyes. As a hospital front desk clerk, my job was to greet patients and guide them on where to go and what procedures to follow.

My phone rang, it was Josh Blake, the thoracic surgeon.

"Come to the office quickly, your medical exam results are out."

My heart raced as I hurried to the office.

Josh handed me a thick stack of medical reports.

"I told you to get your check-ups on time every year, but you didn't listen. Now it's stage four breast cancer, it's advanced..."

Holding the report, my face turned pale, and I stood there speechless, dumbfounded.

"While the cancer cells haven't spread, you should have a mastectomy as soon as possible. There's a better chance that way."

"Surgery... will it completely cure me?"

"We're doctors, who can guarantee anything one hundred percent?"

"Then I won't do it. I don't want to be incomplete."

I walked to the hospital garden and sat down, looking up at a window on the right. It was Jack's office. I wanted to go to him, but I couldn't.

My phone rang; it was him calling. I felt a flicker of happiness.

"What's up?" I tried to speak in a calm tone.

"Let's get a divorce."

A buzzing sound filled my ears, and I couldn't hear anything else.

"What did you say...?" I couldn't believe my ears and wanted to confirm.

he didn't repeat what he had just said, "I will pack up my things from home and take them when I have time."

"Why? You owe me an explanation," my voice trembled.

"I just don't think we're right for each other anymore. I don't feel anything." He hung up impatiently.

Just those few words, "we're not right for each other," dismissed the years of our relationship. Looking at the report in my hand, I chuckled softly. When it rained, it poured, didn't it?

I muddled through the afternoon at work, unable to focus. To prevent any mistakes, I took leave from the hospital and went home. I needed to calm down as this wasn't a small matter.

Back home, I collapsed onto the sofa, looking at his belongings around the room, reminiscing about our past. He was a highly regarded neurosurgeon, while I was just a humble hospital front desk staff. In this relationship, I always put myself second, but I never complained.

After much thought, I decided to call him. After all those years, why should he be the one to decide on divorce?

MY MASTERS

Mercy Kay

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
