Shameless Why Did Fiona Leave

Experiencing a suffocating marriage with the man whom she was arranged to marry made Joanna want to leave him. But it was a failure as she died as the wife of the man who abandoned her and her son before they divorced. On the verge of her death, she made a wish to not encounter him again if there was a next life. She wished for the end of their fate only in this lifetime. She wanted to forget everything about him. However, when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the room of the mansion of the man she just married. She was awakened by a dream that seemed to be a nightmare of her past life. She didn’t remember completely everything that had occurred in her past life and the dream was fragmented. But deep inside her heart, she only felt one thing. She was adamant about leaving him, to be far away from him. Therefore, she left his mansion just before she met him in person in the present lifetime. However, what she didn’t expect was that the so-called husband pursued her, not allowing her to leave him. Would Joanna be successful in leaving the man in this lifetime? Would fate play the same tragedy as her past life? --- As he pulled his finger away from her soft, warm lips, he said, “It is good you stopped winding up, Joanna. Otherwise, I would have used the other method to make you stop blabbering over the same, boring topic endlessly.” When he noticed the stubborn woman was about to prove herself to be stubborn, the man leaned forward in a swift movement, facing the woman’s stupefied face which was an inch away from his. “Continue to blabbering, don’t blame me if I apply my other method right now,” the man murmured above her breath, trailing his gaze from her quivering eyes to her lips before moving it back to her now widened eyes. --- *Cover doesn’t belong to the author.

So, I did what I thought was right—I pushed them all away. I convinced myself that being alone was better, and for a long time, I didn’t hate it. But as much as I loved being alone, I didn't want to be lonely. I also wanted someone and something special—a real bond with someone I could call my Best Friend.

It was my biggest mistake. I was the only one who cared. I gave it my all only for it to be thrown away. In the end, I was left standing in the same lonely place. But this time, it hurt...

There will be about 2 to 3 chapters per weeks starting on Monday or Tuesday. Theos Martin is a young man with a unique charm, both open-minded and socially accomplished. To those around him, he embodies a rare combination of strength, intelligence, and authenticity, qualities he hides beneath more ordinary talents: a surprising mastery of video games and an extensive knowledge of anime. But behind this facade of an ordinary boy lies a soul marked by the extraordinary. His life changes forever the day a goddess appears, revealing a truth beyond understanding: he is the destined hero chosen to confront the Demon King, a malevolent entity whose threat looms over another world. To save this mysterious universe, Theos must leave the comfort of his daily life and plunge into the unknown, leaving behind everything he knows. However, the journey to this new world does not go as planned. Theos finds himself deprived of some of his strength, in a strange and hostile environment, where reality follows none of the orderly rules of a game. He quickly realizes that this quest is about more than defeating an enemy; it will push him to discover himself and make choices that could change not only his own destiny but also that of the world he left behind. Notes : The upcoming chapters will be corrected. I'm only publishing them because it's been a while since my last update. Don't worry, the changes won't significantly impact the story.

A boy believed his life held no worth because he couldn’t understand people—their friendships, bonds, or even the purpose of their existence. He saw things beyond what humans were meant to perceive, but always dismissed them, thinking his mind was playing tricks on him. Though gifted in many ways, he lived in solitude, waiting for his life to quietly end. That was, until he met an unusual girl at school. She promised to show him life’s hidden worth, and for the first time, he found himself wanting to believe her. But just as he began to embrace her words, an accident stole his life. Or so he thought. The next morning, he woke in his bed, memories of his death vivid and unsettling. A strange piece of dark metal ring wrapped around his right middle finger, and a mysterious to-do list filled his mind—a series of tasks with curious rewards for each one completed. Now, with newfound power and cryptic objectives, he faces a choice: continue to follow the tasks, or use this second chance to live knowing the worth of his life.

"Brother Merai, you are finally mine, right? I don't have to hold back since you are going to become mine. My wife." The child emperor looked delighted before he nibbled at Merai's neck to mark him.

If I am to make it out of here alive I can not wake the man who I choose to go home with. Of all nights to get pushed over the edge, why did I have to go home with someone. But I needed to get my mind off the fact my boyfriend of 3 years just dumped me after graduation. So here I am. Trying to pull my panties out from under Jacob? Jackson? Crap. If there was ever a story to judge me it’s this one. ‘Andrea Fray, if u don’t come down I’m leaving’ a text flashed on my phone. Great my best friend was leaving me to walk or hail a cab. Who needs underwater, right. It’s been 6 weeks since my drunken one night stand and I’m sitting here in the bathroom of the apartment Denise ‘Nessi’ and I share as she hugs me. “‘it’s ok, we can figure it out, we don’t have to return to the pack next week, I’m sure we can tell ur dad something to get out of the pairing ceremony.” The pairing ceremony was a chance for all packs to join and a few from over seas, to come together and find their mates, it goes on for 2 weeks for maximum pairing. But I know if I find my mate there is no chance he will be able to accept another and child. I’m daughter to the most powerful pack of North America, the Blood Rain pack. I cannot return carrying a child when I am not claimed. Being pregnant and unclaimed was very bad, usually females who got pregnant with another males pup who wasn’t their mate, were killed because her mate didn’t want to raise another wolfs pup. I don’t think my father could protect me seeing as how it was one of the laws he introduced when he rose to power. It was the first night of the pairing ceremony and alphas rolled in with their unmated pack members and usually a few warriors from their packs. There was well over 10,000 by now. I was headed to the kitchen to sneak a little snack when a delicious smell took me to the front door. The smell of fresh rain and mint, just mouthwatering. There he stood, 6’4” black wavy hair, muscles straining his white button up was showing off the outline of an 8 pack. MATE! Crap….
