In my previous life, no one loved me except my Alpha mate, Grayson. My parents and brothers treated me like a mobile wolf essence bank for my sister Victoria. But Grayson remembered I was afraid of the dark and quietly left a nightlight after my essence transfusions; he kept my casual mention of "wanting to find a quiet place to paint" in his heart, and casually gave me $5 billion to buy my favorite forest. When I confessed my feelings to him, though he was shocked, he still accepted my confession and promised he would definitely mark me. God knows how happy I was then—the person I liked actually liked me too. I only realized when I was dying that his kindness towards me was predicated on my continued donations of wolf essence to Victoria. After my rebirth, the first thing I did was spend five billion dollars to buy an isolated forest. "Miss Ember, are you sure you want to purchase this forest? If you buy it and move in, it'll be nearly impossible to contact the outside world." I nodded, my voice carrying a hint of relief. "That's exactly what I want—somewhere no one can reach me." But when I really left, why did my family and Grayson go crazy and beg me to come back?

There stand the triples. A look of surprise spreads across everyone's face. "What the hell did you do to your hair and are those tattoos?" Poseidon asks. "We dyed it, and yes they are tattoos and we also got a few body piercings" Kylani answers. "We will not stay hidden away or kept locked up. We have no interest in this life. We are going to walk on the earth with the supernatural and humans. They accept us more than you do." Mykenzie announces. The girls vanish at that moment. Chris stands there with a look of regret in his eyes. He knew this was coming. They wanted sweet, innocent goddesses like their mother and aunts.

결혼한지 5년째 되던 해, 이혼을 제안했더니 남편의 반응은 싸늘하기만 했다. 정말 나 없이 살 수 있겠냐는 남자의 삐딱한 반응에 진리은은 쓴웃음만 나왔다. 리은에 대한 해성시 사람들의 평가는 온갖 수단 방법을 가리지 않고, 약까지 써서 주씨 가문과 허씨 가문의 혼약을 깨뜨린 나쁜 여자다. 주유한이 허씨 가문 딸을 사랑하기 전, 리은과 몰래 연애했다는 걸 아는 사람은 아무도 없었다. 남자의 사랑은 정말 한순간이었다. 사랑하지 않는다고 바로 돌아서 버렸다. 결혼하고 나서는 쌀쌀맞게 대하고 온갖 비난과 조롱을 해대는가 하면, 아무렇지 않게 다른 여자와 썸을 타고 데이트했다. 리은은 5년의 결혼생활 끝에 드디어 알아차렸다. 사랑은 모래알과 같아서, 한번 손아귀에서 벗어나면 다시 잡을 수 없다는 것을. 깨달음을 얻고 난 뒤, 두 사람을 응원해주기로 했다. 하지만 모든 것을 내려놓고 포기했더니 차갑기만 했던 남편이 집착하면서 마음을 되돌리려고 애를 썼다. 배가 불룩 나온 리은을 보자, 유한은 눈에 시뻘겋게 핏발이 서서 따져 물었다. “그 아이 누구 아이야?” 리은은 덤덤하게 남자를 바라봤다. “당신 아이는 아니야.”

After the school cafeteria for elementary school kids shut down, I decided to offer meals for all the kids in our building at my home. At the end of the month, when it came time to settle the bill, one of the neighbors wasn’t happy. “The new caterer downstairs only charges $2.50 per meal, but you’re charging us $5! That’s an extra $75 per kid per month. Do you have no shame?” she accused me. I calmly explained that I only used free-range meat and organic vegetables in my meals. But no matter how patiently I tried to reason with them, the parents insisted I refund the difference and demanded I charge no more than $2.50 per meal moving forward. When I lowered my costs to meet their demands, they started accusing me of mistreating their children. They went online to expose me and even reported me to the authorities. The online attacks were relentless. I was fined, and my husband lost his job because of the controversy surrounding me. The stress pushed me into depression, and in the end, I jumped off a building to end it all. When I opened my eyes again, I saw those same parents being swayed by others in the neighborhood to send their kids to the new daycare service that only charged $2.50 a day. What they didn’t know was that the lunch caterer next door did serve meat every day—but it was frozen, diseased pork that had been sitting in storage for two years.
