unerwiderte sehnsucht

"Schau, Michael! Es ist ein Delphin!" Ich traute meinen Augen nicht, als das schöne Meerestier aus dem Wasser sprang.

Das einzig Gute an dieser Reise ist Michael. Er ist so freundlich, rücksichtsvoll und gutaussehend. Und Shelby glaubt, dass er auch an ihr interessiert sein könnte. Aber... er ist zufällig Laurens Vater. Werden Shelby und Michael sich ihre wahren Gefühle eingestehen, oder wird sie sich immer nach ihrem milliardenschweren Beach-Daddy sehnen?

Im siebten Jahr ihrer Beziehung entdeckte Holly Crowe, dass sie vier Jahre lang betrogen worden war. Sie kündigte entschlossen und löste die Verlobung auf, legte ihr stereotypisches Image ab und wurde atemberaubend schön. Sie dachte, ihr Leben hätte ein neues Kapitel begonnen, aber unerwartet tauchte Beldons berühmter und edler Blake Sinclair immer wieder unbeabsichtigt in ihrer Nähe auf und trat angemessen in ihr Leben ein. Sie wusste nicht, was seine Absichten waren. Genau wie sie nicht wusste, dass er bereits seit zehn Jahren im Fluss der Zeit auf sie gewartet hatte. Blake Sinclair, ein Mitglied der angesehenen Familie Sinclair aus Beldon, war der anständigste und beherrschteste Gentleman in der Geschäftswelt, mit den dreihunderteinundzwanzig Regeln der Familie, die in seine Knochen eingraviert waren. Aber an einem Ort, den niemand kannte, hatte er Holly Crowe seit zehn Jahren still geliebt. Als Zeuge ihrer demütigen Hingabe an einen Mistkerl, hielt Blake Sinclair sich zurück und wagte es nie, die Grenze zu überschreiten, bis sie sich abwandte, und er begann, kalkulierte Schritte zu unternehmen. Jeder Beldonier weiß, dass die Familie Sinclair wie ein Jadebaum ist, raffiniert und anmutig, aber nur Holly Crowe kennt den Wahnsinn, der sich unter seiner Noblesse verbirgt. Später, als ihr Ex-Freund reumütig kam, um eine Versöhnung zu suchen, drückte Blake Sinclair, der seine übliche Zurückhaltung aufgab, sie direkt gegen die Tür und rieb mit seinem Daumen über das rote Muttermal an ihrer Taille, seine Stimme heiser: "Holly, sieh ihn nicht an, ich werde verrückt." "Die Regel Nr. 321 der Familie Sinclair: Nutze niemals die Verletzlichkeit eines anderen aus. Aber wenn es um dich geht, macht es mir nichts aus, ein Sünder zu sein."

Short story

There was no pain. Pain is a biological concept, a warning signal for organisms that can be repaired. What happened to me wasn't an injury; it was a suppression. One moment, I was crossing a rain-slicked street in a city whose name no longer matters, the air thick with the smell of ozone and cheap coffee. The next, reality buckled. It wasn't a truck, or lightning. It was as if the universe had blinked and I were a speck of dust caught in God's eyelid. The blackness that followed wasn't the absence of light. It was a blackness with weight, with texture. A pressurized ocean of nothingness. I don't know how long I floated there, if "time" and "being" were still applicable verbs. Then, the Entity manifested. It had no form. To describe it would be to impose human limitations upon it. It was a consciousness so vast that its mere thought generated gravity. Its voice didn't resonate in my nonexistent ears; It vibrated directly into the core of what remained of my consciousness, like the tolling of a bell the size of a solar system. "A CORRECTION," the Entity said. Its tone wasn't apologetic, but rather a statement of fact. "YOUR THREAD WAS PREMATURELY CUT BY A FLUCTUATION IN MY PACE. A DECIMAL ERROR IN THE COSMIC MATRIX." I was incapable of responding. Fear was too small for this place. "THE LAW OF BALANCE DEMANDS RESTITUTION. YOU CANNOT RETURN TO YOUR BROKEN TIMELINE. THE OPTIONS ARE DISSOLUTION INTO THE ETHER OR REINSERTION INTO A NEW FABRIC." Reincarnation. The choice was instinctive, the last desperate cry of life clinging to existence. "SO BE IT. YOU WILL CHOOSE THE STAGE." BUT YOU MUST ACCEPT THE COST FOR THE MISTAKE. THE UNIVERSE YOU ARE GOING TO IS FRAGILE. YOU WILL NEED WEIGHT TO ANCHOR IT. The Entity didn't give me a list of options. It simply instilled the gifts into my essence. And they felt like molten lead was being poured into my soul. First, the Structure. I felt my ghost pattern thicken, becoming impossibly hard. A biology engineered under a dying red sun, meant to drink the radiation of younger stars and convert it into divine power. But with it came weakness: dependence on that light and vulnerability to the radiation of its lost home, a stone that doesn't exist in the universe I am going to... perhaps. Second, the Archive. It was the most painful. It wasn't a data download. It was the opening of a dam. The complete knowledge of a civilization that had transcended matter and energy. Level 10. Equations for creating baby universes, the music of the spheres, the language of creation itself. My human mind screamed under the pressure. It was like trying to contain an entire ocean in a teacup. I would have to learn to filter, to ignore 99.9% of that cosmic noise just so I could think about how to tie my shoes without accidentally triggering a quantum collapse. Third, the Seed. A genetic promise. The absolute certainty of propagation. The guarantee that any union would result in offspring not only viable, but superior. A forced improvement of the species. In the void, this felt cold, clinical. A tool of biological domination. "FATE IS SET," the Entity boomed, its presence beginning to fade, leaving me alone with my new and terrible burden. "YOU WILL BE INSERTED INTO A POINT OF FRICTION. A LINEAGE ALREADY OVERLOADED WITH DESTINY." NOW IT WILL CARRY TWICE THE WEIGHT. The darkness began to spin. I felt an attraction, a dizzying fall toward a distant, cold point of light.

[Irresistible MC + Farming & Entrepreneurship + Strong Female Lead + Cute Baby + Love Rivalry + Farming System + Male Competition] Deng Yuyuan wakes up to find she has transmigrated into a period novel about a "pampered group darling" — as the biological mother of the vicious female villain. The female villain has a biased grandmother, a mooching uncle and his family, a blindly filial father, and a spineless mother. She was a small-time thief as a child. As an adult, she committed every kind of evil — constantly framing the female lead — and ultimately met a miserable end. The female lead is the only daughter in another family, doted on by her older brothers. The villain targeted her out of pure jealousy. And now, Deng Yuyuan has become that villain's cowardly mother — and the villain herself is currently just an ugly, wrinkly-faced infant. The blindly filial father loves his wife, but gives all the good things to his own mother. He says to his starving wife and daughter: "Xiao Yuan, come drink some water. I specially heated it for you." Deng Yuyuan looks at her own bony frame and her tiny child — and decides to get a divorce. Goodbye, useless husband. She's going to raise this little cub with an abundance of money and love. No way she'll go astray this time. Lost one husband, gained a crowd of suitors. A beautiful sent-down youth coveted by many — she knows some self-defense and burns the midnight oil studying. With the reinstatement of the college entrance exams, she takes her child toward a much wider world. Riding the wave of the times, Deng Yuyuan works her way up to become a gaming tycoon and a cutting-edge scientist... Except — why are so many men fighting to be her cub's stepfather?
