My Birthday Mission
Unsweetened Cream
After twenty-five years of trying to win over Gus Harding, I failed and died by his hand.
But he didn't know that. He kept threatening, demanding I show myself immediately.
The real heiress slapped him hard. "Genevieve is dead, and you didn't even care enough to see her one last time."
Gus scoffed, claiming it was just another one of my tricks.
Only when he saw my cold, lifeless body did he finally understand. I was gone for good.
And this time, it drove him mad.

Exposing My Fiancé’s Absurd Niece
My fiancé’s pampered niece, Jenna Quinn, had just returned from abroad.
The moment she got back, she caused a scene at our engagement party, throwing out so-called “evidence” of my alleged affair in front of the media.
Zac Quinn had no choice but to leave me with the mess, clutching his hysterical niece as they left. His parting words? “This is just an engagement party. Jenna’s well-being is far more important.”
After I painstakingly managed to control the public narrative and was waiting for Jenna to make a public clarification to settle the matter, she instead curled up in Zac’s arms, crying softly.
Zac’s expression turned cold. “Jenna only has me, while you have so many people who love you. Why must you target her?”
At first, I thought Zac was just being overly protective of his niece, who had lost her parents at a young age—until I saw the two of them kissing.
“You’re the precious girl I’ve raised with my own hands. From now on, Nina will be your aunt, and she’ll shower you with love, too,” he said.
I clenched the ultrasound report in my hand and, without hesitation, tossed it into the trash.
Love that can’t be held onto isn’t worth keeping.
I decided to return home, accept my family’s marriage alliance, and fully embrace my role as the heiress of the Walker Corporation.
The Birthday That Buried Us
Fleur Petit
On my birthday, the dining table was loaded with all my favorites. My mom had been cooking and baking the entire afternoon, insisting everything be perfect for when Mike got home from work so we could celebrate together.
But then, he called and said his first love had been drugged at a bar, and he had to go help her.
I stopped him and begged him not to go.
Mike snapped at me. "Jesus, Em, don’t pull this jealous wife crap. She’s alone, defenseless, and unconscious—I can't let some random dude take advantage of her!"
My mother heard those words and was so enraged that she had a heart attack. She died on the spot.
Just like that, my mom died on my birthday.
I called Mike, asking him to attend my mom's funeral. But before he could reply, I saw Cathy Miller's latest Instagram post, captioned: [Mikey… after all these years, it was always you.]
Mike had liked it.
My thumb moved before my brain caught up, typing out the only words that mattered: [A homewrecker and a lying bastard. Hope you rot together.]
A Birthday and a Burial
As my murderer's claws tear into my abdomen inch by inch, my father and brother are seated in our family's banquet hall. They're celebrating Carly's 18th birthday and coming-of-age.
"You'll always be my little girl."
"Happy birthday, Carly."
They light 18 pink candles for her. On top of the exquisite red velvet cake is a wolf figurine that they carved for her, and there are well wishes and laughter all around.
Meanwhile, I'm curled up in a sewer filled with liquid silver as I bleed to death. My phone has been crushed, and I can't get out. I can only cry for help.
A few days later, my father and brother show up together at the autopsy room.
My brother stands by the operating table with a scalpel. He slices open the body and sews it back up like it's nothing. My father just covers his nose as he shoots a disgusted glance at my body. He urges my brother to hurry up with the autopsy report.
"The victim is a young female wolf presumed to be of pure lineage. Before her death, she was subjected to prolonged captivity and torture. Her throat is nearly severed, her cervical spine is dislocated, and her chest cavity has collapsed. She was also injected with liquid silver before death."
Hearing the report, my father looks so calm that it's just like a case study of no consequence.
Neither of them can recognize that the body belongs to me—their daughter and sister!
