Design of Love

As the legendary Queen of Cloudridge, my wife’s vast wealth is unmatched, yet our five-year marriage is built on transactions. Every time she visits her first love, she compensates me with a new property deed. Now, with ninety-nine homes in my name, I have stopped pleading for her affection. When I present the hundredth document, she signs it carelessly, offering a rare moment of warmth. Little does she know, this isn't another estate; it is our divorce agreement.

Amelia’s life crumbles when she learns Damian Westbrook is actually mated to Hazel, leaving their bond a lie. Worse, a hidden birth-block ring has stolen her chance at motherhood. Desperate to escape Damian’s manipulation and her pack's treachery, she seeks refuge with Adrian of the Lowe pack. His kindness offers a chance to heal, but Amelia must still navigate dangerous obsession and betrayal to finally claim a future defined by true love and her own freedom.

After six long years, my boyfriend finally agreed to take our relationship to the next level by introducing me to his parents. However, our milestone celebration is instantly derailed when his long-absent childhood friend makes a sudden, unwelcome return. After she intentionally ruins my dress by spilling food all over it, I refuse to play the victim. Instead of backing down, I immediately stand my ground and confront her toxic provocation head-on.

When I treated myself to a fresh durian, I politely offered the largest piece to our nanny, Eleanor Lambert. She snubbed my gesture with a harsh insult, only to throw a massive tantrum once I finished the fruit myself. Screaming that I was selfish for not sharing with my husband Murray or the non-existent family elders, Eleanor cursed me to choke. But Murray hates durian, and his parents passed away years ago. Having worked here just one year longer than me, Eleanor has somehow decided she is the boss of this house.

She upheld every duty as Luna of the Blackwood Pack, honoring a deathbed promise to secure her Alpha's throne. But once his power was absolute, he paraded his affair with a rival pack's actress across tabloids, forcing her to feel every betrayal through their fated bond. For three years, she suffered his coldness and public humiliation, dismissed as a stray he was forced to keep. When she finally confronted him, he merely offered a larger charity budget to silence her. Unbeknownst to him, she had been preparing her revenge. After legally claiming sixty percent of his secret corporate acquisition, she walked into his office with a severance agreement and a chilling choice: reject her cleanly, or watch his kingdom crumble.

For five years, she waited through Ciro's underground fights, dreading the night he wouldn't come home. Then a video arrives: he is bleeding in a clinic after paying for a blood-diamond purse and an armored car for Mafia Princess Lucia, using their wedding fund. When confronted, he dismisses her pain as a debt of honor and laughs at her threats to leave, convinced she is too soft to walk away. But her patience has turned to ash. Refusing to remain collateral in a dangerous underworld game, she goes to the Syndicate clinic not to nurse his wounds, but to reclaim her passport. She signs papers for a high-security black site in Iceland and disappears without looking back, finally done with the soldier who fought for everyone except the woman waiting for him in the dark.
