Selama tiga tahun terakhir, Ariana Ari Harlow telah memberikan segalanya untuk suaminya.

Ari mencintai Noah sejak usia 16 tahun, ia pikir ini adalah mimpi yang menjadi kenyataan. Namun, dia tidak tahu bahwa saudara perempuannya telah menggali perangkap untuknya, dan ini bukan awal kehidupan baru, melainkan neraka baru baginya. Ia terpaksa menghentikan pendidikannya sebagai dokter karena Nyonya Nelson yang terhormat tidak bisa memiliki tangannya tertutupi darah. Ari menyetujuinya. Untuk Noah, ia menjadi istri yang sempurna yang merawat mertua dan suaminya. Namun, yang menanti dia tidak lain hanyalah penghinaan, suaminya malu padanya dan ibu mertuanya berpikir bahwa saudara perempuannya, Ariel, lebih cocok untuk anaknya. Namun, Ari bertahan. Dia berpikir suatu hari dia akan dapat menghangatkan hati suaminya. Namun dia memergokinya berciuman dengan saudara perempuannya! Patah hati, Ariana memutuskan untuk bercerai dengan suaminya, tapi entah bagaimana dia malah terlibat dengan Nicolai. Musuh dan saingan suaminya. Mereka tidak ditakdirkan untuk bersama. Namun Nicolai tampaknya tidak peduli dengan rintangan yang menumpuk di hadapan mereka. Bahkan, dia bertekad untuk masuk ke dalam kehidupan Ari dan membakarnya. Dalam keadaan mabuk, suatu kali dia memegang lehernya mendekat ke dinding pub kumuh, “Kau boleh menyangkal sebanyak yang kau mau, putri, tapi kau menginginkanku.” Matanya melirik dada Ari yang naik turun dan matanya semakin gelap, merahnya tampak tak terkendali, posesif seolah dia ingin mencabik jiwa dari tubuhnya dan menyematkannya ke dalamnya sendiri. “Taruhan jika kupandang, kamu akan basah untukku.” Panas membara di pipi Ariana saat dia mendengus, “Diam.” “Buat aku,” kata Nicolai saat dia menumbukkan bibirnya di bibirnya. Ciumannya membakar jiwa Ariana, dan kehangatannya menyengat kulitnya setiap kali mereka bersentuhan. Ia berpikir bahwa kesalahan terbesarnya adalah terlibat dengan Nicolai. Namun, Ari segera menyadari dengan cara yang sulit, Secara harfiah, diinginkan oleh mimpi buruk seindah itu jauh lebih buruk daripada sebuah kesalahan. Dan situasi menjadi rumit ketika suaminya menemukan kebenaran tentang segalanya. “Temak hatiku, Ari,” kata Noah saat dia menempatkan moncong pistol di mana hatinya berada. “Karena hidup tanpa kamu adalah hidup yang tidak kuinginkan, jadi tembaklah aku atau kembalilah. Aku memohon padamu.” Sekarang Nicolai telah memberinya pilihan, akankah Ari jatuh cinta dengan dia dan melompat ke dalam kehidupan yang penuh dengan bahaya? Atau akankah dia kembali ke suaminya, Noah, yang telah ia cintai sejak ia berumur 16 tahun? Dan akankah Ariana menghindari bahaya yang mengintai dalam kegelapan, menunggu dia untuk melakukan kesalahan dan kehilangan segala sesuatu yang berharga baginya? Akankah dia menemukan kunci dari semua rahasia yang mengikat dirinya dengan Noah dan Nicolai serta takdirnya yang rumit? ******* Potongan: “Ini semua tentang uang, bukan? Ambil itu dan hilang,” Dia berteriak sambil melemparkan kartu hitam ke wajah Ariana. Ariana tidak percaya dengan telinganya ketika dia mendengar suaminya atau calon mantan suaminya menghina dia seperti ini. Tiga tahun.

Escaped My Ex, Got Snatched by His Rival

For the past three years, Ariana Ari Harlow has given her all to her husband. The two of them got married because her sister chose to run away on the night of the wedding, as she believed the rumours that the Nelson Corporation was bankrupt. Ari loved Noah since she was sixteen, she thought it was her dream come true. However, she did not know that her sister had dug a trap for her, and it was not the beginning of her new life, rather it was her new hell. She was forced to give up her training as a doctor because the respectful Mrs Nelson could not have her hands covered in blood. Ari agreed. For the sake of Noah, she became a perfect wife who took care of her in-laws and husband. However, what waited for her was nothing but insults, her husband was ashamed of her and her mother-in-law believed that her sister, Ariel was well-matched for her son. However, Ari persisted. She thought that she would warm the heart of her husband one day. But she caught him kissing her sister! Heartbroken, Ariana decided to divorce her husband, but she somehow found herself entangled with Nicolai. The enemy and rival of her husband. They were not meant to be together. But Nicolai doesn’t seem to care about the odds stacked against them. In fact, he was determined to break into Ari’s life and set everything on fire. In his drunken stupor, he once held her by her throat against the wall of a dingy pub, “You can deny it all you want princess, but you want me.” His eyes raked over her heaving chest and his eyes darkened, the red appearing unhinged, possessive as if he wanted to wrench her soul out of her body and embed it in his own. “Bet if I take a peek, you will be dripping wet for me.” Heat flared up Ariana's cheeks as she snarled, “Shut up.” “Make me,” said Nicolai as he smashed his lips on hers. His kisses burned into her soul, and his warmth seared her skin every time they touched. She thought that her biggest mistake was getting entangled with Nicolai. However, Ari soon realised the hard way, Literally, being wanted by such a beautiful nightmare was much worse than a mistake. And things turn complicated when her husband finds the truth about everything. “Shoot me in the heart, Ari,” said Noah as he brought the gun's nozzle where his heart lay. “Because a life without you is one that I don't want, so either kill me or come back. I beg of you.” Now that Nicolai had given her a choice, would Ari fall in love with him and jump into a life of nothing but danger? Or would she go back to her husband, Noah, whom she loved ever since she was sixteen? And would Ariana avoid the danger that lurks in the dark, waiting for her to make a mistake and lose everything dear to her? Would she find the key to all the secrets that tied her to Noah and Nicolai as well as her twisted fate? ******* Excerpt: “It's all about money, isn’t it? Take it and get lost,” He shouted while throwing the black card at Ariana’s face. Ariana couldn’t believe her ears when she heard her husband or her future ex-husband humiliate her like this. Three years. Ariana Harlow gave Noah Nelson, three years and yet when she caught him kissing her elder sister, Ariel—— this was what he said to her. “I am going to divorce you,” Ari declared and left. She left penniless but Ari stumbled into Nicolai. The enemy and rival of her husband, the Mafia prince of the Lonest City, a notorious bastard known for his violent tendencies. The ill-fated meeting placed her in Nicolai’s path, and just like that he set his eyes on her. The first time they met, Nicolai asked her to invite him to dinner. The second time, when they met, he handed her a million dollars. The third time when they met, he declared, “You will look good in my arms, what do you say princess?” ********

['Full-Fight'] Jake Paul vs Andre August Live Free Broadcast

Jake Paul vs. Andre August goes down tonight, Dec. 15, live from the Caribe Royale Orlando in Orlando, Florida. The undercard starts at 5:30 p.m. ET | 2:30 p.m. PT, while the main card follows at 7:30 p.m. ET | 4:30 p.m. PT. CLICK HERE TO WATCH LIVE NOW CLICK HERE TO WATCH LIVE NOW It’s a curious match-up, with Paul intentionally picking an unknown opponent, small venue and a basic DAZN broadcast (not PPV). He must be very confident of picking up a quick win and using it to promote what he hopes to do in 2024 (which likely includes matches with the KSIs of this world). Before losing to Tommy Fury in February – in Paul’s first bout against a pro boxer – the YouTube star went 6-0 with wins over ex-UFC champions Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva among others. After losing to Fury, the 26-year-old bounced back with another win over an ex-UFC star in Nate Diaz, but he is back in the ring with a pro boxer on Saturday. Across from the American will be compatriot August, who is 35 years old and has a 10-1-1 record with five knockouts compared to Paul’s four. If he loses to August, though, he can kiss any future marketability bye-bye. The latest chapter in Jake Paul's boxing ring tale comes tonight as Andre August faces the YouTube brawler in Florida. 'The Problem Child' will be confident of ending a reasonably mixed 2023 on a high, having started the year by suffering defeat in Saudi Arabia to Tommy Fury to hand him a first career defeat. The 26-year-old, however, then eased to a points victory over former UFC star Nate Diaz in August to get back on track, and now squares off against a boxer in the form of cruiserweight August. The American is 10-1-1 as a professional, but has fought just once in the last four years and the 35-year-old is yet to make a name for himself in the sport. A win on Friday night would be a big surprise, with Paul a strong favourite to move to 8-1 and set up a rematch with Fury in 2024 or a much-hyped showdown with KSI. Despite his defeat by Fury, and the fact that his wins have come against a succession of MMA fighters, Paul remains adamant that he will one day become a world champion. "I possess the talent, hard work, skill set, all the attributes of a world champion, so I am that already and I'm willing and manifesting the rest into existence to become the world champion," he said. Jake Paul vs Andre August will take place later tonight on Friday December 15, 2023 at the Caribe Royale Orlando in Florida. For fans in the UK, the main event ring walks are set to take place at around 3:30am GMT early on Saturday morning, although that is subject to change depending on the length of the bouts earlier on the card. The undercard should start at around 12:30am.

The Billionaire stripper

" Are you sure you want this?" He asked her, having it at the back of his mind that he wouldn't be able to pull himself away from her body if she said no. The thought alone scared him. " Yes, " her breath fanned his cheek and he dragged his eyes over to her wide eyes " I am" He watched how the vein at the side of her neck moved, loved how her eyes paid so much attention to him, loved how she breathed evenly, loved how soft her body felt under him, loved how her lips pathed slightly. It drove him on edge, turning him on without her needing to try at all. A smile crosses his lips, a smile of satisfaction and he trailed a finger down her hair line, whispering " if you wanna stop me, now's the chance, love, because once I start, I cannot stop and you're officially mine " She loved how he said that, how he marked a territory with just his words and it even turned her on.

Bonds of the Wild

23-year old Meridian turns her life upside down in a series of impulsive choices and daring adventures. After an earth-shattering New Year’s Eve spent with a mysterious figure at a pub, she starts to see people with sharp teeth, folk that look more beast than human, and witnesses the connection between life and the elements that goes far past her previous understanding. Who knew a random hook up could change everything? ---- Preview ---- “Look -” I start, walking closer to whisper, but keeping a close eye on its fingers so that if anything so much as twitches, I can run away safely. “Just about none of that made sense. I have no idea what you are talking about.” “Hmm,” the troll muses, and if it could move more, I wouldn’t be surprised if it would rub its moustache in thought. “You seem to be telling the truth. Youngling...who are you?” “Me?” I ask while pointing to myself. “I’m Meridian.” A cold wind suddenly sweeps under the bridge as the troll’s eyes fog over and turn completely white in color. “Meridian,” the troll’s voice sings to me and a shiver crawls down my spine. “Light and dark. Bloom and rot. Void and prominence. Life and death. Hello, creature of the night. Hello, princess of the light. Hello, clawed beast and blossoming flower. A world cleaved in two, fissures hardened by centuries. You belong to no one as much as you belong to them all.” “I…I don’t understand,” I tell my wicked hallucination. “Then you will bring death to us all.”
