My ex-boyfriend, Jason Bell, still hasn't let go of me, even though I've been married to Cedric Mosley for two years now.
He sends blood-red dancing heels to me and threatens to destroy my current "peaceful life".
Terrified and trembling, I'm about to call the cops when a hand in latex gloves rests on my shoulder.
"Don't be afraid."
My forensic doctor husband, having just returned from an autopsy, carries a faint scent of formaldehyde with him.
He takes off his glasses. With the same hands he uses to handle scalpels, he slowly helps me open the threatening letter inside the package.
"The handwriting is sloppy, with uneven pressure applied. It's typical of an anxious personality type."
Then, as if he's reviewing an autopsy report, he comments mildly, "This type of person usually has brittle bones that snap easily."
*
There are 206 bones in an adult body.
When Cedric placed a “rib” ring on my finger, he whispered, “You are the bone I lost long ago—the one that makes me whole.”
That is the origin of this title. 

Katherine Wright has a two-faced boyfriend. During the day, he is thoughtful, sweet, and a complete gentleman. However, once the sun sets, he turns into a completely different man. At night, he behaves like a feral beast, pursuing his desires in ever-changing ways.
Everyone calls her a lucky woman. She is deaf, but her boyfriend has never shunned her because of her disability. On top of that, he's even trying to help her find a cure.
Katherine thinks she is lucky to have him too. But one day, a robber steals the specially made medicine her boyfriend had given her to treat her deafness. Because of this, she stops taking the medicine.
Just as she is about to break the news to her boyfriend, she overhears his friend say, "You and your brother sure know how to have fun! One of you plays with her heart during the day, while the other toys with her body at night. It's been three years—I can't believe that deaf woman is still completely unaware of this!"
Hearing this, Katherine's blood runs cold. 
When my stepsister, Lucy Sloven, frames me for triggering her allergic reaction, my three brothers force me into a cramped, airless cellar and seal the door with chains.
I slam my fists against the cellar door, pleading with them to let me out.
My eldest brother, Aaron Caldwell, a powerful figure in the business world, snaps coldly, "I usually turn a blind eye when you bully Luce, but you knew she was allergic to seafood and still made her eat it. Are you trying to kill her? Stay in there and reflect on your actions!"
My second brother, Bruce Caldwell, a rising pop star, and my third brother, Clark Caldwell, a genius painter, scoff in unison. "Someone as vicious as you still dares to play the victim. Stay in there and suffer!"
With that, they scoop up the trembling Lucy and rush her to the hospital.
As time drags on, the oxygen dwindles. Every breath becomes a struggle until I suffocate to death inside.
Three days later, when my brothers return from the hospital with Lucy, they finally remember me.
They have no idea that I have already died from oxygen deprivation in that narrow cellar. 
On my birthday, Grandpa asks me, Harper Levinson, which man from the Zink family I wish to marry. I choose the fifth and youngest son without hesitation, and the elders are thrown into shock.
After all, everyone in our circle knows that I, the eldest daughter and future heiress to the Levinson Group, am deeply in love with their eldest son, Jonathan Zink. I've always insisted on marrying no one but him.
In my previous life, I did marry Jonathan. However, in our third month, I discovered that he was cheating on me with my illegitimate younger sister, Ruth.
That day, his eyes were filled with tears as he knelt before me. "Please forgive me. It was just an accident, I swear!"
I gave in but, ultimately, Grandpa found out and sent Ruth abroad. Jonathan believed it was all my doing, and from that moment on, he hated me to the bone.
Over the next few years, the elders in the family passed away one after another. We were always beaten to the punch in the market, and our company's confidential files were stolen.
On the very day I found out about my pregnancy, I was killed in a staged car accident.
Now, reborn into this life, I choose to let them fulfill their love instead. What I don't expect is when news of my engagement is announced, he storms into the engagement party and begs me to marry him. 
"Carroll Brown is dead! But you have to marry him in your sister's name." My mother said to me in a cold tone. My sister was engaged to the hottest billionaire. It should have been a perfect marriage. Unexpectedly, Carroll was dead in an accident. My sister didn't want to become a widow, so she forced me to marry her dead fiance. And I had no right to refuse her.Actually, I was the biological daughter of the Smith family. My sister was an adoptive one. My sister and I had been swapped at the hospital when we were just born. My parents had already had a deep relationship with her. So they chose to sacrifice me. On the wedding day, I was taken to the mourning hall."Ma'am, please keep Master company and let him feel warm." The housekeeper said with a cold expression. I couldn't help but look up at the portrait above the coffin, and my heart skipped a beat at this glance. The man in the portrait was more handsome than the superstars in Hollywood.Carroll Brown? My dead husband? Wow, he was really handsome!I didn't know how long had passed when my stomach began to rebel. After one glance at the coffin, I swallowed my saliva and then begged with my fingers crossed. "Mr. Carroll, I'm starving! May I eat your pastries? You don't mind, do you?" "I do.""Ah!" Scared, I broke out in a cold sweat. My legs went limp, and I fell to the ground. I shouted, "Ghost!"Carroll curled his lips, leaned over, and touched the black coffin. "Mr. Carroll has risen from the dead. What do you think of this headline tomorrow?" 
Margareth was shocked after she found out that her chosen mate, Xavier, flirted with his mistress at their party. However when she confronted him, Xavier refused to admit it! He also didn't want to reject Margareth as his mate. Frustrated and hurt, Margareth didn't know what to do until Alpha Bastian, the renowned and intimidating leader of the Red Iris Pack, stepped in. He proposed a bet: if Xavier's mistress was pregnant within a month, Xavier would be forced to reject Margareth as his mate. The stakes were high, but Margareth, desperate to escape the humiliation, agreed. Even though, she need her pack to join Bastian's! 
"Ms. Keane, the test results are not very favorable. You've been diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer. If you refuse treatment, you'll likely only have several weeks left to live—not even a month. Are you sure you wish to proceed without treatment? Does your husband agree to this?"
The doctor asks me over the phone.
"I'm sure… Yes, he agrees to this as well," I reply.
I gaze around the empty room after I end the call, feeling unbearably upset. I used to think the pain was just my recurring gastritis, but it's actually because of a tumor.
Sighing, I turn to gaze at the photo on the desk.
Silas Huntington, who's 18 in the photo, stares right back at me.
Even after all these years, I can still remember the day we took that photo. Snow had dusted our hair white, which made Silas ask whether this counted as us growing old together. 

From the start, it is nothing but a mutually beneficial agreement. After the deed is done, Melanie York flees with his baby in her womb when she sees him reuniting with his first love.Eight months later, they meet again. When Derrick Quinton sees and notices her pregnancy, he's utterly furious. "How could you do such a job when you're pregnant? Melanie York, you sure have a strange fetish!"He begins to pressure her harshly, using both threats and temptations to make her submit. That is, until her ex-husband seeks her out one day and requests that they rekindle their marriage.Finally, Derrick loses it. He pins Melanie against the hospital room door and crushes his lips against hers."Melanie, how about I become your secret lover? I'm richer and younger than he is. I'm more suited to you than he is…"Melanie struggles vehemently. "Derrick Quinton, do you think that's fair to your first love?"Much later, Derrick tosses a marriage certificate at her before slowly curling his lips into a smile. "Melanie, my first love is actually you." 

Natalie Schmidt would soon perform a complicated kidney transplant on her own son, Matthew Fletcher—not just because of the complexities involved, but because she was the kidney donor.…The operation went smoothly.She went to share the good news with her husband, Oliver Fletcher, who waited in the room next door. Then, she saw him closely embracing one of her interns, Linda Sawyer, through the door crack."Oliver, what if the surgery isn't successful? What if something happens to our child? It'd be so much better if it were my kidney instead. At least his life wouldn't be at the mercy of others."Natalie froze, thinking about what Linda meant by their child.She was about to storm in and confront him, only to find him gently cradling Linda a second later.Concerned, he advised, "Don't worry. Natalie's treated Matthew as her own child ever since she suffered from memory loss after her accident. She'll give it her all in the surgery. Not to mention, you donated a kidney to save my life, and I compromised to marry her. "It's only fair that she donates her kidney to Matthew."

I prepare a feast for my boyfriend, David Linton, on Thanksgiving, but he stands me up again.I sit in silence for a moment before pulling up the Instagram account of his first love, Selene Whitmore, like I always do."I'd like to praise someone. He abandoned his girlfriend and came to me just because I told him my light went out. I hope he maintains this valuable principle of putting his friend before his girlfriend," she writes.The photo she posts shows David standing on a stool, changing her lightbulb. She steadies his legs with both hands, her face brushing against his private parts. He doesn't dodge, and there's even a faint smile on his face. The image is an utter eyesore, but I don't have a meltdown or make a scene.I simply press the like button on the post and ask David for a breakup. David doesn't believe me at all."She's just throwing a tantrum. I'll just give her the cold shoulder for a few days. I can cheer her up easily with a beckon of my finger after that," he says.But what he doesn't know is that it's only easy for him to cheer me up because I love him.And from today on, there's no way he'll be able to cheer me up anymore.

So she did something that no one in history ever did.She rejected an Alpha."I, Alexis Clark, reject Brandon Sterling, the alpha of Black mist pack, and consider myself a free soul until I decide so."; Were her last words before she left that torturous place and became a rogue.A rogue that everyone was fearing and finding.Why? Because she was the rogue that has become one of the biggest problems of almost all the packs in the country.She was Alexis Clark. A rogue that rejected an Alpha, stealth food, kill other rogues, and more than that was living with humans and studying with them.What will happen when her case is given to the world's most dangerous alpha, Sebastian Sinclair, who has taken it upon himself to punish this rogue.The one who hated rogues and omega to a level that was beyond understanding. Why? Because his mate was an omega, who betrayed him with a rogue before dying.How will Alexis tackle this alpha, in whose College she was studying and living under hiding for almost a year?What will Sebastian do when he finds out the new girl he had been talking to is none other than the rogue omega that he had decided to kill?"To love you with all my might was my only wish, but you were the only one who gave me endless suffering. So today, I promise myself to not fall for anyone."; A simple saying that both Alexis and Sebastian had vowed upon.Will they be able to find their love amidst all these problems?
