La séptima vez que Sofía quedó con Leonardo para ir a firmar el acta de matrimonio, él volvió a dejarla plantada. Cuando ya iba a marcarle para preguntarle dónde estaba, se topó por casualidad con un TikTok de la amiga de la infancia de él. "Hoy celebramos 999 días de casados con mi amado esposo, desde el pasado hasta el futuro, siempre serás tú." En la foto, justo en el centro del librito rojo del matrimonio, aparecía bien claro el nombre de Leonardo Díaz en la parte de esposo. Y la fecha de matrimonio era el 20 de mayo de hace tres años. Así que esta era la verdadera razón por la que él nunca apareció en esas siete citas para casarse. Él ya era el esposo de otra.

Sahabatku yang selalu bersikeras menolak pernikahan, justru saat menemaniku melakukan program bayi tabung malah merebut sperma donor yang sudah kupilih. Saat itu aku langsung tahu, dia juga sudah terlahir kembali. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, aku ingin punya seorang bayi blasteran, jadi aku memilih melakukan bayi tabung. Sahabatku waktu itu bahkan mengejekku, katanya aku hanya sedang membantu orang asing membesarkan anak, benar-benar bodoh. Tapi siapa sangka, setengah bulan kemudian aku justru dijemput ke keluarga Kerajaan Duraya. Ternyata sperma donor yang kupilih adalah milik seorang pangeran Kerajaan Duraya berdarah campuran dari delapan negara. Bukan hanya hendak menikahiku sebagai putri mahkota, dia juga berjanji menjadikan anak kami sebagai pewaris kerajaan. Aku dan anakku mendapat perhatian penuh dari seluruh keluarga kerajaan, perhiasan yang menumpuk di tubuhku bahkan hampir membuatku tidak kuat menahannya. Sebaliknya, sahabatku justru karena terlalu menyanjung feminisme, akhirnya menyinggung mitra kerja, dipecat dari perusahaan, lalu diblokir di seluruh industri. Saat pesta seratus hari putraku, dia menggunakan seluruh tabungannya untuk membeli tiket pesawat dan datang menemuiku. Namun ketika aku menyambutnya, dia malah membunuh putraku dengan menjatuhkannya, lalu menyiramkan asam sulfat ke tubuhku. "Kenapa kamu bisa seberuntung itu? Dasar perempuan jalang, kamu tidak pantas!" Ketika membuka mata lagi, aku sudah kembali ke hari saat aku mengajaknya menemaniku melakukan bayi tabung.

Quand j'ai été encerclée par la meute de renégats loin de notre territoire, j'ai envoyé un lien mental à mon compagnon, Alpha Luke, le suppliant de m'aider. Il m'a refusée quinze fois — et finalement, il a bloqué complètement le lien. À la fin, je me suis effondrée d'épuisement et j'ai perdu connaissance, ma louve hurlant de désespoir. Quand je me suis réveillée à l'infirmerie, Alex, le commandant de la Tribu des Loups-Garous, était assis calmement à mes côtés. C'était lui qui avait reçu mon appel désespéré. Il avait mené ses guerriers, écrasé les renégats et m'avait arrachée à la mort. J'ai pris une grande inspiration et j'ai dit avec une détermination sans faille : « Alex, j'ai pris ma décision. J'irai dans le Territoire du Nord pour l'entraînement. Je pars dans deux jours. » Dix minutes plus tard, Luke a fait irruption dans la pièce avec Kristie — sa soi-disant sœur adoptive — et nos jumeaux qui le suivaient de près. « Tu as monté cette mise en scène juste pour éclipser Kristie ? Tu te rends compte de la force guerrière que tu as gaspillée pour flatter ton ego ? Tu ne mérites pas d'être Luna ! » Mon fils aîné, Chris, m'a lancé un regard perçant et a ricané : « Elle est où, ta blessure, Maman ? Tu as l'air en parfaite santé. Tu as tout simulé juste pour attirer l'attention ? » Mon fils cadet, Colin, m'a regardée avec des yeux pleins de déception. Il a lentement secoué la tête et a murmuré : « Maman, tu nous as encore menti… juste parce qu'on aime davantage Kristie ? » Kristie a serré la main de Luke, sa voix tremblait d'une fausse innocence tandis que des larmes coulaient sur ses joues : « Je suis désolée, Christina… Je ne fêterai plus jamais mon anniversaire. S'il te plaît… arrête de créer des problèmes à Luke et aux jumeaux. » J'ai serré les poings, retenant ma louve furieuse. J'ai regardé les quatre tourner les talons et sortir sans un seul regard en arrière.

I was once the most respected female intelligence officer in the underworld. I controlled black market trade, port lockdowns, and risk assessments for every smuggling route. These were the basics every new recruit learned on their first day in the Mafia. But my intel was never reliable. As time went by, everyone caught on. In this city, whether the ports were locked down or open for business didn't depend on intel. It depended on whether Vincenzo's childhood friend was in a bad mood. I had just sent an order over the family's secure channel: "Level-one lockdown. All shipping routes are closed." A moment later, the ports were thrown wide open. My rival mocked me in front of everyone. "Isabella's supposed to be the queen of underworld intelligence, isn't she? What happened, did she lose her touch?" Other family members twisted the knife without a second thought. "Her husband changes the rules at a word from his precious Amelia. Who's going to listen to her anymore?" "She's on the hook for any losses from this. That route reopening is going to bankrupt her!" I clutched a stack of formal censures from the family. I said nothing. It didn't matter. I was done being a pawn in their games. Soon, I would be gone for good.

At our wedding ceremony, the four-year-old nephew of my fiance, Michael Thompson, suddenly rushes onto the stage. He grabs his uncle's hand and cries, "Daddy, why are you marrying another woman? Don't you want me and Mommy anymore?" Seeing this, Lisa Jenner quickly runs over to intervene. She sounds apologetic, but her words are slightly provocative. "I'm so sorry, Sarah. Danny lost his father when he was little and has always seen Michael as his dad. He didn't mean to cause trouble." Even Michael remains completely calm as he picks up Danny. He explains to me, "Before David passed away, he made me promise to take care of his widow and child. I only let Danny call me 'Daddy' so he could have a normal childhood. You understand, right?" As I look at the three of them, standing there like the perfect family, I laugh coldly and rip off my veil. "This poor child has been through so much. How could I possibly steal his dad away? "You know what? Why don't I just let Lisa take my place up here? Then you can have your happy little family of three."

On the day of my son's one-month celebration, my notoriously stingy sister-in-law surprised me with a branded baby bottle. But instead of accepting it, I turned away and gave it to the neighbor's cruel son who had XYY syndrome. In my previous life, I had accepted that bottle with genuine gratitude, using it day and night to feed my son. I never imagined that a month later, in the dead of night, my son would suddenly suffer a heart attack and die in my arms. Strangely enough, the very next day after my son passed, my sister-in-law's sickly child—who had been confined to the neonatal intensive care unit since birth—was miraculously discharged in perfect health. Losing my son shattered me completely. I spent my days drowning in tears. My husband called me a cursed woman, claimed I brought nothing but disaster, and demanded a divorce. Not only that, but he insisted I leave with nothing. When I refused, he and my sister-in-law joined forces and accidentally beat me to death. It wasn't until after I died that I learned the truth. The woman I had thought was my husband's younger sister wasn't his blood relative at all. She had been adopted by his mother years ago to be raised as his future wife. Together, they had plotted to destroy me. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the very day my sister-in-law handed me that baby bottle.

My husband, once a powerful CEO, had become bankrupt and sank into depression. Overnight, I went from being the wife of a CEO to a lowly worker. To help him pay off his debts and cover the costs of his depression treatment, I took a job as a hostess at an auction house. However, I never expected to see my husband there, who should've been in the hospital undergoing therapy, sitting in the VIP section. Without any hesitation, he bid on an exorbitantly priced necklace and gave it to the woman beside him. That necklace—the one I had pawned to pay off his debts—was my grandmother's heirloom.

My fiancé’s first love and I fell down the stairs at the same time, and he chose to save her instead, leaving me to lie there in a pool of blood as I waited for an ambulance. On the brink of death, I begged him not to abandon me, and he only kicked my hand away, saying, “Elodie, can’t you show a little kindness? Don’t you see that Celeste is unconscious?! “…I’ll make sure you pay for this later!” ‘Later’, as he put it, didn’t come to pass. As he left with his first love in his arms, I died along with the baby inside my womb.
