On our tenth wedding anniversary, Song Ming looked at me affectionately.
On our tenth wedding anniversary, Song Ming looked at me affectionately.
Kory and I were college sweethearts, together from school uniforms to wedding vows.
Our tenth wedding anniversary fell on that day, and I always believed our bond was strong.
But he chose that moment to say, "Aria, let's get a divorce."
My eyes widened in disbelief.
A divorce? Now? On our anniversary?
"Kory, why would you want a divorce out of nowhere? Did I do something wrong?"
"No, you've been great. I'm just bored."
Bored? That was his excuse to dismiss me?
I pressed, unwilling to let it go. "Why? You owe me a reason."
He stared at me for a moment, his face hardening as he began to criticize. "All these years, I've covered every expense. In over a decade of marriage, you never once offered to work. I toil all day and just want to come home to rest, but you can't even manage basic housework."
His words stunned me.
He was the one who insisted I shouldn't work, saying he didn't want me to suffer in a job.
And I wasn't truly a stay-at-home wife. Besides caring for my mom, I wrote novels online and earned my own income.
"Kory, I do work. I contribute to this family just like you." I defended myself.
He scoffed. "That pittance you earn from writing? I wouldn't take it if you begged me. Look at yourself. You don't even resemble a refined lady. I'm embarrassed to be seen with you."
I was at a loss for words, but I understood. When a man started nitpicking your appearance, he likely had someone else.
So I asked directly, "Are you seeing someone else?"
Kory seemed ready to lay it all bare and admitted, "Yes, Stella is gentle and caring. She's far better than you. She's a modern woman, independent and graceful, not like you, always asking me for money. Any man would know who to choose. Plus, she's pregnant."
Pregnant?
My chest tightened, and I clenched my fists, barely controlling my voice. "Kory, didn't we agree to be childfree?"
"That was your idea. I've always wanted kids. You just refused to have them. If you won't give me a child successful, plenty of women will."
"But Kory, if you wanted kids, why didn't you talk to me? Couldn't we have discussed it?"
"I've been poking holes in the condoms for years. It's your body that's the problem."
His words left me reeling.
Was this the same charming, considerate husband I remembered?
"Are you sure it's me who can't conceive?" I asked through gritted teeth.
But Kory, impatient, cut me off. "My lawyer will come by tomorrow. Pack your things and leave. Don't worry, I won't leave you with nothing after all these years."
"Kory, you're in that much of a rush?"
"Honestly, I can't stand looking at you anymore."
Without hesitation, I stepped forward and slapped him, my hand stinging from the force.
"Kory, don't regret this!"
"I won't!"
His confidence was unshakable. I grabbed my bag, which held his infertility diagnosis, and left without looking back.

Just as the handcuffs were about to close, the mysterious man reappeared, holding her pregnancy report. "You're pregnant with my child," he said coldly.

Rejected by her mate, who had been her long-time crush, Jasmine felt utterly humiliated. Seeking solace, she headed to a party to drown her sorrows. But things took a turn for the worse when her friends issued a cruel dare: kiss a stranger or beg her mate for forgiveness. With no other choice, Jasmine approached a stranger and kissed him, thinking that would be the end of it. However, the stranger unexpectedly wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear, "You're mine!" He growled, his words sending shivers down her spine. And then, he offered her a solution that would change everything...
She came to survive. He was born to rule. Fate made them mates. And that's where the nightmare began. Evangeline has spent her whole life on the edge, unwanted, unclaimed, and surviving in the shadows of Crescent Moon Pack. A omega by blood and an outcast by choice, she's learned to keep her head down and her scars hidden. But when her dying uncle asks her to enroll at Blackclaw Academy, a school built on bloodlines, brutality, and unforgiving rules..... she agrees. For him, not for herself. She expected whispers. Glares. Even cruelty. What she didn't expect was Ronan Nightbane. The future Alpha. Cold. Untouchable. Worshipped. Feared. And the one the Moon Goddess bound her soul to. Being his mate should've meant protection. Belonging. Destiny. But Ronan wants none of it. He rejects her in front of the entire academy. Mocks her. Marks her as nothing more than a mistake. A threat. A girl born of nothing, who means even less. But Evangeline? She doesn't break. Not for him. Not for anyone. Because the power buried inside her was never meant to be found. The truth behind her blood could burn the entire pack system to the ground. And Ronan, no matter how hard he fights it.... can't stay away. Their bond is poisonous. Addictive. Dangerous. And when war creeps closer and secrets claw their way into the light, he'll have to make a brutal choice: Reject her... or ruin them both.
