Vitaulium: Hofwyck en Spaansche Wijsheit by Constantijn Huygens
Elck die uw hooft bemickt, treft sijnen Doele niet;
Het is altijds geen lap wanneer de Schutter schiet,
Nochtans, wanneer der[1] prijs met schieten is te winnen,
Sijn s' altemael te been, die roer of boogh beminnen,
En hoopt oock d' alderminst 't geluck van eene schoot,
Door een beleefde pijl of door een gunstigh loodt.
So waegh ick mee een kans, en vlam op het Compeerschap
Meer als op 't beste glas van sulcken braeven Heerschap,
Die met een Fenix-pen, wanneer hy 't sich bepijnt,
De Son beschrijven kan veel schoonder als hy schijnt[2].
Maer weer soo waegh ick 't niet. Hoe raeck ick dat te vort[3] is?
Hoe reyck ick aen een spits, daer mijnen arm te kort is?
Hoe werd een rappen haes gevangen van een Koe?
Hoe vlieght een lamme gans tot aen den Hemel toe?
Wat maeckt een blinderick[4] in winckelen en hoecken,
Daer 't voor een Arentsoogh is duyster om te soecken?
Wat vind Tiresias[5] daer Argus[6] is van noo?
Noch waeg' ick 't evenwel: een vryer al te bloo
Besliep noyt schoone vrouw; die 't gunstigh uyr liet deurgaen
Als sy wel willen souw, moet naemaels voor de deur staen:
"Mijn vrind! ick ken u niet, goen avond en goe nacht,
Ghy hebt het luck versuymt dat u heeft toegelacht".
Dien de Fortuyn verschijnt, die grijpse by de vlechten;
Voor isser vatten aen, 't is naemaels niet te rechten
Soo ghyse glippen laet; want achter isse kael,
Daer heeftse tuyt[7] noch haer; dies, vryers altemael!
Past op het vinck-slagh wel, en laet geen tijd verlooren.
So een geluckigh uyr u heden werd gebooren,
So wacht tot morgen niet; wanneer het visje bijt,
So slaet den[8] hengelaer, of anders is hy 't quijt.
Soo waegh ick dan uw naem, die soo langh sonder naem staet,
Men oordeel of men dus het nut en 't soet te saem raedt:
Een halve kap, een lap van pluys of van fluweel
Bedeckt voor locht en kouw het teere Vrouwen-scheel[9]
Van 't voorhooft tot de kruyn, en wie kan sich beroemen,
Dat hy die kap, die lap, met sijnen naem kan noemen?
Nochtans krijght hy een naem waer aen hem yeder kent,
En echter yeder seyt: "Ick weet niet wat je bent".
Dit is u bey gemeyn; dies segh ick sonder wachten
(Men magh het nemen aen of vryelick verachten):
Die op het uytterlick alleen sijn oogen wend,
Vind tusschen u meer scheels[10] als tusschen Koe en End;
Maer soo men meer op reen als nae 't fatsoen en stof kijck,
Sijt ghy JE-NE-SCAY-QUOY van het Kasteel van HOFWIJCK.

Rumors said that Lucas married an unattractive woman with no background. In the three years they were together, he remained cold and distant to Belinda, who endured in silence.

When Lucas' true love reappeared, Belinda realized that their marriage was a sham from the start, a ploy to save another woman's life. She signed the divorce papers and left.

"There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits. We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours. You will be my wife in every sense and you will not be involved with any other man," he said, arrogance seeping from every word. I watch his mouth move, I'm not ready to fall in love with any man, especially not one as arrogant and egoistic as him. I can handle acting as a loving couple, and as for intimacy once a month. I can agree to that just to satisfy my sexual cravings with no strings attached. "Where can I sign?" I asked since I had nothing to lose. *** Nadine's wedding dreams turned to nightmares when she caught her sister and fiancé cheating! With a secret recording, she's ready for revenge.

Lyric had spent her life being hated. Bullied for her scarred face and hated by everyone-including her own mate-she was always told she was ugly. Her mate only kept her around to gain territory, and the moment he got what he wanted, he rejected her, leaving her broken and alone. Then, she met him. The first man to call her beautiful. The first man to show her what it felt like to be loved. It was only one night, but it changed everything. For Lyric, he was a saint, a savior. For him, she was the only woman that had ever made him cum in bed-a problem he had been battling for years. Lyric thought her life would finally be different, but like everyone else in her life, he lied. And when she found out who he really was, she realized he wasn't just dangerous-he was the kind of man you don't escape from. Lyric wanted to run. She wanted freedom. But she desired to navigate her way and take back her respect, to rise above the ashes. Eventually, she was forced into a dark world she didn't wish to get involved with.
Harlyn thought her life would finally change for the better after a night with the alpha king who marked her, claiming her to be his. If only she knew what awaited her. She was supposed to be a quick lay, to satisfy his urge but it felt so good to be with her that he lost his senses for a moment and sank his fangs into her neck, marking her and accidentally claiming her as his. But he couldn't keep her, she was of no use to him socially, she was a lonely orphan who wasn't able to fully transform after she turned eighteen and therefore had no place in his elite life. He was the alpha king and he could only pick a mate that matched his status. There was only one thing to do. Reject her. That didn't play out like he had imagined. And just like that, a whole new journey begins for the both of them.

She had acted on impulse, realizing too late that her new husband was the notorious rascal, Collin. The public laughed at her, and even her runaway ex offered to reconcile. But Linsey scoffed at him. "My husband and I are very much in love!" Everyone thought she was delusional. Then Collin was revealed to be the richest man in the world. In front of everyone, he got down on one knee and held up a stunning diamond ring. "I look forward to our forever, honey."
