fairly jilted

In the Federal Empire, any woman who had reached twenty years of age must get married, or be randomly assigned a husband by the System. Thus, on her wedding day, the eve of her 20th birthday, Valerie Sullivan waited anxiously for her betrothed, Isaac Holt, to show up—only to find out that he was not coming after all! Trapped in this desperate situation, she grabbed the first handsome stranger she bumped into and got him to be her stand-in groom. It did not hurt that this mysterious Jonny was just her type—young and innocent-looking, with furry ears and a large fluffy tail. So, what if he seemed a little lost and confused? The wedding went on as planned, and Valerie was saved from public humiliation but only for the moment. After all, her marriage to Isaac was supposed to solidify the business partnership between the Sullivans and the Holts. In addition, her sister, Madeline, did not seem too happy that things turned out well for Valerie. Worst of all, Valerie found out that Jonny was an important, influential figure—Jonathan Gunn—the first commander of the Empire and uncle to the current monarch! Who had Valerie actually married—the sensitive, adorable Jonny, or the formidable, impassive Jonathan? Would this last-second pairing end in true love or divorce?

For three years, Rhea Kensington played the perfect nobody. She hid her billionaire heiress identity to marry Julian Thorne — a cold, powerful CEO she'd loved with every reckless corner of her heart. She endured his family's contempt, slept through his indifference, and quietly bled — literally — as a personal donor for his manipulative ward. She gave everything. He gave nothing. So she walked out. Back as the untouchable President of the Apex Group, Rhea doesn't just reclaim her throne — she dismantles every person who dared to mistake her silence for weakness. Chloe. The Thorne family. All of them. One by one. Julian watches it all and finally sees what he threw away. His pursuit is relentless. Her rejection is absolute. But fate keeps throwing them together — a shipwreck, a deserted island, armed pirates, and the earth-shattering truth that they secretly saved each other's lives years before they ever said "I do." The ice around Rhea's heart begins to crack. Then a car bomb explodes, and Julian throws himself in front of the blast. Lying at his bedside, Rhea can no longer pretend. She never stopped loving him. She just finally learned what she was worth. Will she forgive the man who broke her — or is love the one thing she can't win back?

When Dashiell, for the seventh time, feigned amnesia to break off our engagement and travel the world with his little childhood sweetheart, I was exhausted, and weary. In the video, he was passionately kissing his little childhood sweetheart on a cruise ship. I picked up my phone and dialed the number that had been waiting, "Dad, I agree to the arranged marriage." A billion-dollar dowry instantly hit my account. On the day of my wedding, Dashiell happened to call, "Darling, I've regained my memory. Will you marry me?" "This time, I absolutely won't leave you again." I told him to look up, where I stood in a pristine white wedding gown, arm-in-arm with my new groom, smiling down at him.

Before the statue of the Moon Goddess, the bonding ceremony with my fated mate, Alistair, was about to begin. But his adopted sister, Seraphina, sent a life crystal through our mind-link. Inside the crystal was the heartbeat of a newborn pup. Alistair sensed its aura and, without a moment's hesitation, abandoned me and rushed away. He brought Seraphina back to the home we were meant to share. Immediately after, Seraphina posted an intimate photo of herself and Alistair on the central werewolf social feed. The background was our bedroom. Alistair's message followed: "I lost control on the night of the full moon. Seraphina is pregnant with my pup, and I have to take responsibility." "She wanted to hide it from me and raise the pup alone. But she's so young, and such a gifted healer… I can't ruin her, and I can't abandon this innocent life." "Didn't you want a pup soon? She'll leave after she gives birth. You can raise the pup, and it will only ever know you as its mother." Seeing no response from me, he added: "As for our bonding ceremony, we'll talk about it after Seraphina gives birth." I stared at the message, a harsh laugh escaping me, my eyes burning red with unshed tears. Did he really think that I, the heiress of the Silvermoon Pack, had no other choice but him? I immediately called Kaelan's number. "Bonding ceremony. Are you in?"

When I was getting fitted for my suit, Vanessa Yates seemed distracted the whole time. We’d just walked out of the bridal shop when she suddenly called out to me. “Preston, maybe we shouldn’t get married. Not yet.” “Why?” I stared straight at her. “It’s just… I’m not ready for marriage. And we’re only twenty-six, we’re still young. Why rush into the graveyard of marriage so early?” “You mean you’re not done having your fun yet?” I lifted my eyes and glanced at her. “If you insist on seeing it that way, then yeah, sure.” A hint of impatience flickered in her eyes.

Gender doesn't justify SUCCESS. In this vast world now being overtaken by overwhelmingly numerous and rigorous technology, everyone has a fair chance to achieve SUCCESS to its core BLISS...
