Olivia · Ongoing · 296.3k Words
Introduction
For Martin's sake, Victoria used everything she had to pave his way and scheme for his success.
When Martin finally climbed to a high position as she had wished, the first thing he did was remove his mask and cast Victoria into hell: using emotional abuse to force Victoria into divorce, trampling on her pride and dignity, cursing her to meet a bad end...
As he wished, Victoria, who feared the cold most, died in the snow.
But Martin went mad. The cold and handsome CEO's hair turned white overnight, calling out to Victoria with deep affection, begging her to wake up and come home with him...
Chapter 1
In the doctor's office.
"Ms. Victoria Gonzalez, your cancer has spread to your liver. There's nothing we can do. Eat whatever you want, do whatever you want - don't leave any regrets."
"How long do I have?"
"Less than a month, I'd say."
Victoria walked out of the hospital, her face showing neither sadness nor joy as she pulled out her phone to call her husband, Martin Collins. She thought that even though they weren't in love, she should tell him she was dying.
The phone rang a few times, then was cut off.
She called again - she'd been blocked.
Victoria tried WhatsApp - also blocked.
Her heart grew more bitter. For a marriage to come to this - how sad, how pathetic.
Unwilling to give up, she bought a new SIM card and called Martin again.
This time, he answered quickly, "Who is this?"
"It's me." Victoria gripped her phone, biting her lip as the harsh wind cut across her face like a knife.
Martin's voice instantly turned cold and impatient, "To get my attention, you're even pulling tricks like changing numbers? Victoria, are you sick?"
Is this what a husband says to his dying wife?
Her eyes stung. Victoria's fingers gripping the phone turned white, her nose tingled, her eyes instantly moistened, "Martin, come home tonight. I need to tell you some—"
She thought she should tell Martin about her condition.
"Sign the divorce papers and I'll come back!"
But before Victoria could finish, Martin impatiently cut her off. His tone was so annoyed, as if they weren't husband and wife, but enemies!
Her throat tightened. Victoria wondered - if he knew right now that she had terminal cancer, would he be just a little bit nicer to her?
She was about to speak.
A woman's coquettish voice came through the phone, "Martin, come on, the wedding photographer is asking again."
Wedding photos?
They weren't even divorced yet, and Martin couldn't wait to take wedding photos with her best friend?
Did he think she was already dead?
She was indeed dying, but she was being killed by anger at this cheating couple.
Victoria's tears desperately welled up.
Anger, unwillingness, bitterness, madness churned in her throat. Victoria forced back her tears and threatened, "Midnight tonight. I want to see you."
"Getting bold, are we? You dare threaten me?" Martin's disdainful laugh came through the phone.
"It's not a threat. It's reasonable for me to ask my own husband to come home. Of course, you can choose to burn all bridges. But I'll drag Mia Wilson down with me." Victoria laughed bitterly in her rage.
"Victoria, don't regret this."
Martin threw out those words and coldly hung up.
Walking down the street, Victoria's tears finally broke free, sliding down from her eyes and streaming down her cheeks.
Passersby looked back at her like she was some kind of freak.
Thinking of the past, Victoria couldn't stop herself from breaking down and crying.
Martin had been an orphan from deep in the mountains. Victoria's father, Hayden Gonzalez, took pity on him and brought him back to the Gonzalez family to be Victoria's personal bodyguard.
The Gonzalez family paid for his education, taught him how to behave, gave him opportunities at the Gonzalez Group to pursue his ambitions.
They even married Victoria, the Gonzalez family's only precious daughter, to him.
After the marriage, Hayden's health declined and he developed dementia. The entire Gonzalez family fell completely into Martin's hands.
The first thing Martin did after taking over the Gonzalez family was ask for a divorce. The divorce agreement had extremely harsh terms - Victoria would leave with nothing.
Maybe she still had feelings for Martin, or maybe she couldn't accept how Martin suddenly turned on her after being so good to her. Victoria endured a whole year of cold treatment, stubbornly refusing to sign the divorce papers.
Before today, she had all the time in the world to wait for him to come around, to see his attitude change.
But now, diagnosed with terminal liver cancer with only a month to live, Victoria had to figure out the real reason for Martin's heartless betrayal.
Back home.
Victoria splashed cold water on her face. Her phone rang.
She picked it up and opened it - a photo popped up.
Sent by her best friend Mia.
A selfie from a hotel room. Mia's eyes were smiling, looking at the camera provocatively, wrapped in a bathrobe that - whether intentionally or not - revealed her ample cleavage.
Did they go have sex after taking wedding photos?
"Victoria, can you tell me your husband's size? He asked me to buy condoms and I don't know what size to get." Mia's WhatsApp voice message popped up. When Victoria played it, she heard this shameless question.

Cursed Beauty and her Three Alpha Mates
Cast out by her pack for being wolfless and plagued by uncontrollable heat, Maya has spent her life surviving humiliation in silence.
Fate drags her into the path of Kael Draven, the ruthless Lycan King who claims her… only to reject her.
But Kael is not the only Alpha bound to her.

One cursed destiny.
They called her wolfless. They thought she was weak. But she is done hiding, and this time, she's rewriting the rules.
Vengeance of the Forsaken Luna
"Bella." Ethan's tone shifted, taking on that warning edge I knew too well. "Faye is vulnerable right now. She's terrified you'll resent her, that this will divide the pack. The last thing she wants is for this baby to come between us."
"Then you shouldn't have done it." I met his eyes squarely, letting him see the ice in mine. "Go back to your son."
"For fuck's sake." He dragged a hand through his hair. "How many times—it was artificial insemination. They used my sperm, yes, but Faye and I never—"
Bella let out a cold snort. Such brazen lies. Her mate had an affair with his brother's partner, and his entire family helped force her out with nothing, all to make way for the mistress to take her rightful position. Poor fool—he thought she was just an unwanted adopted daughter, easy to dismiss and control. He never knew the computer genius he'd been searching for was his own Luna.
Since he'd tainted himself, Bella was done. She rejected him and reclaimed what was hers, rising to the top with help from Victor, who'd been secretly in love with her for years.
When Ethan tried winning her back: "You don't want our child growing up fatherless."
Bella smiled mockingly. "The child's father isn't you."
Aphrodite and the Cursed Mate Bond
She finds truth.
Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate.
The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all.
As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path.
Love does not come in one form. Neither does power.
In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected.
Not a queen.
But the axis upon which the world turns.

Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
