The seventh time I planned to register for marriage with Piero Conrad, he didn't show up again. I was about to text him and ask when he would arrive when I stumbled upon his childhood friend's post. [Celebrating the 999th day since marrying my dear, from the past to the future, it's always been you.] The video showed a marriage certificate, with Piero's name listed as the husband. The registration date was May 20, three years ago. I realized that was why he never showed up those seven times. He was already married to someone else.

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.

Als meine Eltern meine Gedankenverbindung zum zwanzigsten Mal ignorierten, ging ich zum Werwolfsrat und hielt den Bericht über Silberstaubkorrosion fest in der Hand. „Hallo. Ich möchte meine Rudelidentität sofort aufgeben.“ Zehn Minuten später stürmten meine Eltern herein und zerrten meine adoptierte kleine Schwester Elsa mit sich. Ihre Gesichter waren von Panik gezeichnet. Die Tür flog mit einem lauten Knall auf, und mein Beta-Vater stürmte wie ein Unwetter herein. Er fletschte die Zähne und krümmte die Krallen. „Du bist nichts weiter als eine verzogene Göre, die nur nach Aufmerksamkeit giert! Hör mit diesem erbärmlichen Theater auf. Du bist eine Schande für den Namen eines Betas!“ Meine Mutter, die forensische Spezialistin des Rudels, riss mir sofort den Bericht aus der Hand. Nach einem kurzen Blick verzog sie das Gesicht verächtlich. „Du hast diesen Bericht gefälscht, nur um unsere Aufmerksamkeit zu erlangen? Du lügst schon, seit du ein Welpe warst.“ Elsa klammerte sich an beide, mit tränenerfüllten Augen schluchzte sie: „Es tut mir leid, Jenifer. Ich trage die Schuld, weil ich das Verwandlungsritual durchgeführt habe. Aber bitte ... belüge unsere Eltern nicht, nur um ihnen Schuldgefühle zu machen!“ Noch immer strömte Blut aus meiner Nase, doch ich wischte es gelassen ab und richtete mich erneut aufrecht vor den Werwolfsratsmitgliedern auf. „Ich habe schon lange keine echte Familie mehr. Bitte – entfernt alle meine persönlichen Akten aus dem Rudel. Ich will nur, dass meine Beerdigung, in drei Tagen angesetzt, nicht verschoben wird.“

Mon frère me détestait et souhaitait ma mort. J’ai pleuré et je lui ai demandé : « Ne suis-je pas ta propre sœur ? » Il a ricané : « Je n’ai pas de sœur. » Cette nuit-là, j’ai été renversée par une voiture. Il est devenu fou.

I had just given birth when the country sent me on a secret mission that kept me undercover for seven years. When it finally ended, I came home on leave. I was eager to see my husband and children, whom I had missed every single day. However, the moment my car stopped at the gate, I saw my two children—my most precious treasures—being shoved down the steps by a woman. They tumbled hard, and they were covered in bruises. The next second, three snarling wolfhounds were released from the house, and they pounced on the children with bared teeth. Fury surged through me, and I charged forward. I got the dogs away with a few swift kicks and punches. Amid the animals’ pitiful howls, my ten-year-old son instinctively shielded his sister. His young face was pale with fear. Meanwhile, my eight-year-old daughter snapped out of her daze and trembled as she urged me to leave. “Miss, run! You hurt her dogs, and if Dad finds out, he won’t let you get away with it!” I forced down my anger and gently said, “She set the dogs on you first. Even if your dad were here, he’d protect you just like I did.” I did not expect this to make their eyes instantly fill with tears. Alarmed, I was about to ask what was wrong when a woman’s arrogant voice rang out. “You vagrant! I have a close relationship with Martin Gray, and I’m also the lady of the Gray family! “You and these two brats who dirtied my house aren’t leaving in one piece today!” I froze for a second before I took a deep breath and called my husband. “Martin, who’s this woman proclaiming to be the lady of the Gray family? Where did she come from? You’d better have a good explanation for this. And tell me, when did the house I left for John and Katy get a new owner?”

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."

Una vez que quedé embarazada, fui aclamada como la mujer más preciosa del submundo. Mi esposo, el nuevo Don de la familia Jenkins, cerró toda una ala de un hospital privado para mis chequeos, mientras que mi padre, el Don de los Collins, convocó a todos los chefs con estrellas Michelin de Nueva York a la mansión, solo para que yo pudiera elegir cualquier cosa que se me antojara. El bebé que llevaba en mi vientre estaba destinado a ser el único heredero de las dos familias de la mafia más poderosas. Pero el día en que debíamos firmar los documentos que aseguraban la herencia de mi hijo, ambos desaparecieron. —Surgió un asunto familiar urgente —dijo mi esposo, Vincent, besando mi frente—. Podemos finalizar la herencia del niño cuando regresemos. No hay prisa. Poco después de que se marcharan, recibí un enlace a una transmisión en vivo anónima. La voz de mi padre se escuchaba en el video, más fría de lo que jamás la había sentido. —Estás diciendo que tu contrato de matrimonio con Evangeline nunca fue válido. ¿Eso no convierte al niño en un bastardo? Vincent, relajado en un club, sopló un anillo de humo. Acurrucada en sus brazos estaba mi media hermana, Sarah. —Evangeline siempre ha tenido todo el amor y el afecto. A su hijo no le faltará nada —respondió Vincent—. Sarah ha sido burlada por su estatus durante años. Tengo que hacer las cosas bien para ella, darle a nuestro hijo un nombre legítimo. En ese momento, mi corazón se paralizó y apenas podía respirar. Entonces mi teléfono vibró de nuevo. Era un mensaje de texto: [Bienvenida a casa a la familia Gallo, mi reina.] [Solo di la palabra, y el niño que llevas llevará el apellido Gallo y se convertirá en el heredero más poderoso del submundo estadounidense.]

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.
