Emma stood at the edge of her office window, the city skyline unfolding before her like a canvas of endless possibilities. The sun was setting, casting a golden glow over the concrete jungle, and for a moment, she felt like she was on top of the world. At twenty-eight, she had built a life she could be proud of-a thriving business, a beautiful home, and a sense of independence that was both empowering and isolating. As she gazed out at the view, her mind began to wander.
It was a habit she had developed over the years, a way of escaping the present and revisiting memories she thought she had left behind. Her thoughts drifted to Alex, her ex-husband, and the life they had shared. It had been a year since their divorce, and while the pain had dulled, the memories still lingered, a bittersweet reminder of what could have been.
Emma's phone buzzed, breaking the spell. It was a text from Rachel, her best friend since high school.
"Hey, girl! How's it going? We need to catch up soon," Rachel wrote.
Emma smiled, feeling a warmth in her chest. Rachel had been her rock through the divorce, always there to offer advice or just listen. She typed out a quick reply.
"I'm good, Rach. Let's plan something for this weekend," Emma said, already looking forward to their next meetup.
As she turned away from the window, her gaze fell on a framed photo on her desk. It was an old picture of her and Alex, taken during happier times. Emma's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't let the emotions overwhelm her. She had moved on, or so she told herself. The photo was a reminder of what they once had, but it was also a reminder of how far she had come since then.
Emma's office was a reflection of her personality-modern, sleek, and efficient. The walls were adorned with awards and certificates, testaments to her success. Her desk was cluttered with papers and files, evidence of her busy schedule. Despite the chaos, Emma knew exactly where everything was, a trait that had served her well in her career.
Just then, her assistant, Mark, knocked on the door. "Emma, you have a visitor. It's your lawyer, Mr. Thompson."
Emma's curiosity was piqued. What could her lawyer want? She hadn't been expecting any legal issues. She nodded, and Mark ushered Mr. Thompson into the room.
Mr. Thompson was a tall, imposing figure with a kind face. He had been Emma's lawyer since the beginning of her business, and she trusted him implicitly.
"Emma, I have some news," he began, his voice serious. "It's about Alex. He's getting remarried."
Emma felt a slight jolt, but she kept her composure. "That's not surprising," she said calmly. "I wish him well."
Mr. Thompson hesitated before continuing, "There's more. You've been invited to the wedding."
Emma raised an eyebrow. "Why would I be invited?" she asked, genuinely puzzled. She hadn't spoken to Alex in months, and their parting hadn't been amicable.
"I'm not entirely sure," Mr. Thompson admitted. "But it seems Alex wants you there. He's been quite insistent."
Emma's mind raced. Why would Alex want her at his wedding? Was it some kind of gesture of goodwill, or was there something more to it? She hadn't thought about Alex much lately, focusing instead on her business and rebuilding her life.
"I'll think about it," she said finally, though she knew she wouldn't attend. The past was best left in the past. Besides, she had no desire to watch Alex marry someone else.
As Mr. Thompson left, Emma couldn't shake off the feeling that her life was about to get a lot more complicated. She decided to push the thoughts aside and focus on her work. She had a meeting with a potential investor later that day, and she needed to prepare.
The rest of the morning flew by in a blur of meetings and phone calls. Emma was in her element, discussing business strategies and negotiating deals. It was what she did best, and it gave her a sense of fulfillment that she hadn't found in her personal life.
At lunchtime, Emma decided to take a walk outside. The fresh air and sunshine did her good, clearing her head and refreshing her spirit. She walked through the park, enjoying the scenery and the sound of children laughing.
As she walked, Emma's thoughts drifted back to her past. She wondered what her life would be like if she and Alex had worked out. Would they have children by now? Would they be happy together? The questions swirled in her mind, but she pushed them aside. She had made her peace with the past, and she was determined to focus on the future.
After her walk, Emma returned to her office, feeling more centered. She spent the afternoon reviewing documents and preparing for her meeting with the investor. It was going to be a crucial meeting, one that could secure funding for her company's next big project.
As the day drew to a close, Emma felt a sense of satisfaction. She had accomplished a lot, and she was proud of herself. She packed up her things and headed home, looking forward to a quiet evening.
The drive home was uneventful, giving Emma time to reflect on her day. She thought about the meeting with Mr. Thompson and the news about Alex's wedding. It was strange, but she felt a sense of detachment from it all. She had moved on, and she was happy with her life as it was.
When she arrived home, Emma was greeted by her cat, Luna, who was lounging on the couch. Emma smiled, feeling a warmth in her heart. Luna was her constant companion, always there to greet her with a purr.
Emma spent the evening reading a book and watching TV. It was a peaceful night, one that she needed after a busy day. As she drifted off to sleep, she felt content, knowing that she was exactly where she was meant to be.
Little did she know, her life was about to take a dramatic turn, one that would challenge everything she thought she knew about herself and her past.

"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself.

"And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
P-please, I beg you. Come let's go tell Christian I had no hand in whatever happened, p-please." I clutched the lapel of his jacket desperately. "Let's go. You need to tell my husband you were paid."
