Karma

Setelah diselingkuhi di pesta pertunangannya, Milla berbalik untuk melawan dan mempermalukan tunangannya. Tak disangka, bos besar yang hendak membalas dendam datang menghampirinya .... Yang lebih mengejutkan lagi, Milla bahkan pernah tidur dengan pria itu?! Milla awalnya mengira hidupnya setelah ini hanya akan diisi dengan perjuangan melawan musuh dan bangkit dari keterpurukan, tapi siapa sangka dia malah hidup seperti tokoh utama dalam cerita cinta yang penuh kasih sayang. "Chris, orang-orang bilang kamu itu cacat. Kamu yakin, orang yang aku tiduri malam itu kamu?" "Kalau kamu nggak percaya, aku bisa bantu kamu mengingatnya lagi sekarang." "Chris, apa kamu lupa dengan rencana balas dendammu?" "Mana mungkin lupa? Aku menjalankannya setiap malam dengan tindakan nyata!"

In my last life, my brother Leo—the heir to the Moretti crime family—stripped our estate bare of every last soldier, all for a Vegas jaunt. All because his new flame, Scarlett, had a jones for the high-roller tables. The Volkovs—our rivals, the very ones Leo had just pissed off—saw their opening and stormed our gates. My mother, Sofia, took a bullet meant for me. Died protecting me. I blew up Leo’s phone, my pleas turning to screams. He didn't answer. He waltzed back in after the shooting stopped, bringing our men home, but far too late for it to matter. Then, the news from Vegas. Scarlett was gone. A suicide note left behind. In it, she painted me as the monster. The one who’d leaked our weaknesses to the Volkovs. The one who'd orchestrated a fake kidnapping and torture plot, all to drive her to despair and lure Leo home. A perfect, tragic lie. Leo read the letter calmly. Then he burned the letter and told me, "Forget it. It's handled." Father tore into Leo for abandoning his post, for leaving his family to die. And me? I was named the new Consigliere. But after the celebration, Leo cornered me in the wine cellar. His face was a mask of cold fury as he pressed the barrel of his gun to my forehead. "This is for family traitors," he hissed, his voice pure venom. "The throne is my birthright, not some backstabbing bitch's prize!" When I opened my eyes again, I was back. Right in the middle of the fire and the blood. This time, I shoved my mother behind me, dragging her toward the panic room. And the bastards who were too blind to believe me? They’ll regret it.

During a critical heart transplant, my doctor husband insisted his intern assist despite her garish nail art compromising the sterile field. When I called her out, he abandoned the patient mid-surgery to comfort her. I begged him to return, but he snapped, "Giselle is upset. Can't you wait? This is nothing compared to her feelings." 40 minutes later, the patient bled out and died. Later, they discovered that he was our highly respected mayor and placed the blame on me. "If it weren't for you causing a scene and kicking us out of the operating room, the mayor wouldn't have bled to death. This is all your fault!" Defenseless, I was sentenced to life in prison, tortured, and died in agony. My husband and his intern walked down the aisle, enjoying their happy life. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of that fateful surgery.

When my boyfriend, Mark Jamison, gets in a car accident that leaves him paralyzed, I pawn the ring my mother left to me before she died to help him. With hands that have never been used to do any work or a single household chore in my life, I start lugging around delivery bags. In the middle of a rainstorm, I get assigned to deliver a food order worth 10,000 dollars, with a 100-dollar tip. Just as I happily celebrate my luck, I overhear the raucous laughter coming from inside the villa. "She actually believes you got paralyzed in a car accident? She now spends all day doing deliveries just to support you financially? She even sold off her dead mom's ring?" "She'd probably cry her heart out if she ever finds you're actually a wealthy scion worth tens of billions of dollars, who's just pretending to be poor!" Mark twirls the wineglass he's holding and says, "A lowly woman like her was born to wait on others. She brought it upon herself by always being better than Rosie back in school. Messing with her is the punishment she deserves." I continue to stand in the rain, tears rolling down my cheeks. This is how I find out Mark has spent the last two years faking his condition just to help his childhood sweetheart get back at me. His so-called paralyzed legs, deceased parents, and helpless tears are all just part of a meticulously executed lie. I haven't talked to my father, the richest man in town, for years. But now, I have finally decided to call him. "I lost, Dad. I'll accept the marriage alliance and marry the guy you picked for me."

Après la grande guerre entre les trois clans, les Humains, les Dragons et les Loups, les clans des Dragons et des Loups ont été frappés par une malédiction. Les descendants de sang pur des deux clans ne pouvaient plus hériter de la totalité de leur puissance. Afin de transmettre le pouvoir de leur lignée, les rois de chaque génération du clan des Dragons et des Loups devaient s'unir à une femme humaine possédant des Bénédictions. Le clan qui donnait naissance en premier à un enfant de sang mêlé obtenait le droit de gouverner les trois clans pendant cent ans. Dans ma vie passée, j'ai épousé le roi des Loups d'Argent, Silas Hector, un homme connu pour son allure de parfait gentleman. Un an après notre mariage, j'ai donné naissance à un enfant à moitié loup. Il a hérité de toute la puissance de sa lignée, et Silas est devenu le souverain des trois clans. Les Loups ont régné sur le monde pendant cent ans. Ma sœur, Lucia, s'est éprise du somptueux Dragon d'Argent. Elle a épousé leur roi, mais les Dragons étaient arrogants et imprévisibles. Dans un accès de rage insensée, son mari a blessé son ventre et provoqué une fausse couche. Lucia est devenue stérile à partir de ce jour. Dévorée par la jalousie à mon égard, Lucia a fini par perdre la raison, et elle m'a poignardée à mort lors d'une réunion familiale. Lorsque j'ai rouvert les yeux, j'étais revenue à la veille du mariage organisé par les trois clans. Lucia s'est empressée d'entrer dans la chambre du roi des Loups d'Argent, Silas, et de coucher avec lui. Elle aussi avait renaît. Cependant, elle ignorait une chose essentielle : Silas était un loup au sang froid, qui prenait plaisir à torturer les Humains faibles.

My husband worked overtime in the studio and suffered from an explosion. His body was blown to pieces. When my bestie frantically told me the news, I just nodded calmly. She called and texted me nonstop. She urged me to go to the site to recognize my husband's body. I blacklisted her and bought a ticket to go abroad. In my previous life, when I heard the news, I stopped at nothing and rushed to my husband's studio. However, I only saw my husband's cold ashes. My bestie said that my husband had poured out his troubles to her once. My husband said that I had run up a mountainous debt for gambling. He wanted a divorce, but I threatened him that he would have a sky-high debt if he divorced me. Even my mother cried and accused me of often going to the casino and taking men home at midnight. But none of this was true. I treated my husband very well; just a few days ago, I gave him a million-dollar watch as a gift. And I had never done anything related to gambling. Facing their accusation, I chose to call the police to prove my innocence. However, the police discovered my diamond necklace at the explosion site, where forensic experts also found my fingerprints. I failed to prove my innocence and became the heinous murderer who killed my husband. My mother took me to court for justice and took over my business empire. In jail, I was retaliated and died. When I opened my eyes again, I regained my life on the day when my husband suffered from the explosion.

Luna Baxter and Simon Fulmer have been married for five years. One day, she receives a provocative voice message and intimate photos from Simon's first love. They're sent from his phone, too. "I've only been back in the country for half a year, but he took the bait as soon as I laid it. He's prepared blue fireworks for me tonight, but I don't like the color blue. To avoid wastage, you can have them on your wedding anniversary." Luna and Simon's fifth wedding anniversary comes a month later. She looks out the window at the blue fireworks lighting up the sky. Then, her gaze lands on the empty seat across from her. Simon's first love challenges her again. She sends her a photo of them having a candlelight dinner. Luna doesn't cry or kick up a fuss. She silently signs a divorce agreement and asks Simon's secretary to prepare for a wedding. "What are the bride's and groom's names, Mrs. Fulmer?" "Simon Fulmer and Sophie Sutherland." Seven days later, she flies to Naavi to give them her blessings. She throws them a wedding.

El día que papá asistió a una fiesta con su ex y se volvió tendencia, todos se burlaban de mi mamá. Decían que había dejado atrás una gran carrera para entrar en una familia rica, pero después de treinta años seguía sin nombre ni lugar, sin siquiera el valor de reclamarle a la amante. Después de tanto llorar, mamá me miró cansada. —Él me falló primero, así que yo tampoco lo quiero. —Amanda, ¿te vas conmigo? Justo entonces sonó mi celular. Era un mensaje de mi novio de siete años: "Amanda, solo es un acta de matrimonio. ¿No podemos seguir como novios?" Guardé silencio unos segundos antes de asentir. Así fue que, el mismo día de su boda, mamá y yo desaparecimos entre las llamas de la mansión.

Dua hari sebelum tahun baru, pacarku, Dylan Stevens, malah bawa asistennya ke pantai untuk merayakan tahun baru. Aku tidak marah, aku bahkan dengan tulus bantu dia berkemas. Namun, Dylan malah mengejekku. Dia bilang, aku jadi lebih tahu diri setelah hamil. Begitu dia pergi, aku langsung melakukan operasi aborsi. Karena di kehidupan sebelumnya, setelah aku mencoba menahannya dengan anak kami, asisten itu justru tewas secara tragis di pantai. Di luar, Dylan tampak tenang dan tidak peduli, tapi saat aku hendak melahirkan, dia belah perutku dan bunuh anakku dengan kejam. Saat itulah aku tersadar, dia menyimpan dendam padaku selama ini. Di kesempatan kedua ini, aku akan membuatnya kehilangan segalanya.

Larut malam, aku berbaring di kursi taman dan membuka lebar kakiku dan memuaskan diriku, sambil memandang pria berotot setinggi dua meter. Aku tahu dia sedang melihatku dan juga tahu aku sedang melakukan hal yang sangat gila. Namun, sensasi ini malah membuatku tertantang. Membuatku kehilangan kemampuan untuk berpikir. Semakin aku menikmatinya, semakin haus rasanya dan semakin sulit untuk berhenti.
