Introduction
In the previous life, she disliked him and avoided him. This time around, Adelaide wants to kiss, cuddle, and hug Sebastian every day.
"Bullying my husband? I'll poke your eyes out."
"My husband isn't handsome?"
Believe it or not, I'll blind you. Save you from having a pair of useless eyes.
Rumors have it that Sebastian, the heir of the Manners family, is physically and mentally weak, with his life hanging by a thread.
Adelaide, the sixth wife to marry into the family, is a fool?
No, who started this rumor? Isn't this rumor too exaggerated?
Is Adelaide a top doctor or a national goddess? Who knows?
Those strikingly handsome long legs belong to Sebastian?
Alright!
It's one thing for Sebastian to be wealthy, but to be both wealthy and handsome, that's just too much!
Adelaide being pretty is one thing, but being pretty with a sparkling and intelligent brain is just excessive."
Chapter 1
Adelaide Montagu was killed by her most trusted friend, Saskia Davis, and a man.
The two strangled her with a rope and hung her from a tall tree deep in the forest, leaving her to be devoured by insects and ants.
A week later, Adelaide's nominal husband, Sebastian Manners, found her disfigured body while leaning on a cane and cried out in despair as he held her corpse.
Adelaide realized that the person who loved her the most was Sebastian.
Her soul followed Sebastian, to witness he took revenge on the murderer.
Afterward, Sebastian changed into clean clothes and went to the ice room where Adelaide's body was kept.
Lying down beside Adelaide, Sebastian looked at her affectionately and said, "Adelaide, I have avenged you. Wait for me, I'll be with you soon."
With those words, a relieved smile appeared on Sebastian's face.
It was only then that Adelaide noticed Sebastian had slit his wrist, and blood quickly stained the sheets red.
She never expected Sebastian to die for her.
Adelaide was shaken to her core.
She wanted to cry, but ghosts have no tears.
Adelaide tried to grasp his wrist to stop the bleeding, but she couldn't do anything and could only shout helplessly, "Sebastian, no! Go to find a doctor!"
In his daze, Sebastian seemed to see Adelaide.
The curve of his lips widened, "Adelaide, I'm here to be with you."
"Sebastian!"
With Adelaide's heart-wrenching scream, she felt a strong force pulling her soul.
A wave of dizziness hit her, and Adelaide lost consciousness.
"No." Adelaide suddenly woke up.
Sweat covered her forehead, her body was cold, and she opened her eyes to see a familiar yet strange environment.
Wasn't she dead? Where was this?
The surrounding voices quickly brought Adelaide back to her senses.
"Finally awake, otherwise we wouldn't know how to explain to Mr. Manners."
"Ms. Montagu, since you're awake, get up quickly. Mr. Manners will be here soon. Be careful when serving Mr. Manners, he has a bad temper and doesn't like being touched casually."
"And also..."
Hearing the servants' instructions, Adelaide finally realized.
She had been reborn.
Reborn to the day she married Sebastian.
In her previous life, Adelaide had been drugged and knocked out by her malicious stepmother and sent to the Manners Villa.
Sebastian had been in a car accident three years ago, leaving his legs paralyzed and his health deteriorating day by day, not knowing when he might die.
Marcus Manners, believing a fortune teller's words, had arranged for Sebastian to marry to bring good luck.
But the previous five brides had all been scared away by Sebastian's cruelty.
Adelaide was the sixth bride chosen.
"Where's Sebastian? Hasn't he arrived yet?" Adelaide impatiently interrupted the servants.
She was still wearing a cheap dress and jumped off the bed, looking around.
When Sebastian appeared, the servants looked at her with disdain and were about to say something.
Adelaide immediately saw the cold man in the wheelchair.
Seeing Sebastian's handsome face again, Adelaide's pupils trembled slightly, and her eyes instantly reddened.
She excitedly walked up to Sebastian, "Sebastian."
Before Adelaide could get closer, Sebastian's cold gaze stopped her in her tracks.
Sebastian's voice was icy, "You can leave now."
"I'm not leaving." Adelaide anxiously tried to get closer to Sebastian, "Sebastian, I'm not leaving."
In her previous life, she had hated Sebastian for trapping her, so she had helped Gavin Manners, the illegitimate son, to fight against Sebastian for the Manners family inheritance.
In the end, Adelaide realized she was just a pawn and met a tragedy in the end.
In this new life, Adelaide swore to make Gavin and Saskia pay and protect Sebastian.
Even if it was dangerous, she would not let Gavin's schemes succeed.
Sebastian glanced coldly at Adelaide, "The money given to the Montagu family from the Manners family will not be taken back."
No one would willingly marry a dying man.
Marcus always bought brides with money, and the Montagu family was no exception.
But the money was never given to Adelaide; it was taken by her unscrupulous stepmother.
Adelaide made up her mind and sat on the edge of the bed, "I'm not leaving. If you have the guts, have someone carry me out. I took Marcus's money, so I have to keep my promise to take care of you."
As if thinking of something, Adelaide continued, "Our marriage registration is already done, and the marriage certificate is on its way. If you kick me out, you're a scumbag, abandoning your wife."
"I'll report you for abandoning me on our wedding day. The Manners family has a big reputation to uphold; they can't afford this scandal."
Adelaide glared fiercely at Sebastian, "No matter what, I'm not leaving. From now on, you're my husband, and we're a couple. I'm staying to take care of you."
Everyone around was stunned by Adelaide's shameless words.
Only Sebastian coldly scrutinized her.
The previous five women had either cried about their misfortune or refused to stay after seeing him.
This woman was the first to openly acknowledge their marriage and insist on staying.
Sebastian's deep eyes darkened.
"Give me a reason," Sebastian asked coldly.
Without thinking, Adelaide replied, "I love you. You're so handsome; I fell in love at first sight. I was attracted to your looks and fell in love with you."
"Having a handsome and wealthy husband is a great deal for me. I'm not leaving."
Adelaide's words drew disdainful looks.
But Adelaide didn't care, she smiled at Sebastian.
Sebastian frowned slightly, "Love? Do you think I'll believe that? Even if it's true, I don't love you."
"It doesn't matter. I love you." Adelaide assured, "I believe that one day you'll love me too."
With that, Adelaide got up and approached Sebastian.
She knelt down to look him in the eye, "Sebastian, from now on, I'll take care of you. Give me a chance, and I'll show you my sincerity."
"Since the money has been taken, I have an obligation to stay and take care of you. I'm not leaving," Adelaide said firmly.
She continued, "Please let me stay. If I leave the Manners Villa, I have nowhere to go. If my stepmother finds out I've been sent back, she won't be happy."
"Sebastian, I'm easy to take care of. Just give me a meal, and I'll be fine. I want to stay and take care of you." As she spoke, Adelaide's eyes reddened.
She pinched her thigh, her eyes welling up with tears.
Sebastian frowned at her, noticing her subtle actions.
After a long while, Sebastian slowly looked away.

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.

I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected.

I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.
The War God Alpha's Arranged Bride
Yet Alexander made his decision clear to the world: “Evelyn is the only woman I will ever marry.”
Invisible To Her Bully
My Possessive Alpha Twins For Mate
My drunk stepfather remained indifferent, his weight suffocating, making it hard to breathe as my heart raced.
Suddenly, the door slammed open, and two figures burst in.
"Get off her!" a deafening roar echoed.
I didn't expect the twin brothers who'd bullied me at school to come charging in like gods to save me.
After my grandmother passed, I had to move in with my mom and stepdad, who treated me like a servant. I prayed every day for my 18th birthday to come, so l could leave and escape this broken home.
However, on my first day at my new school, l encountered the legendary twins everyone feared.
To make matters worse, the Moon Goddess revealed they were both my mates!
After helping me out with my stepdad, my twin mate cornered me, played with my hair, and whispered possessively, "You belong to us, our little mate..."
Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.

Delicate.

Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
