Karma

Sebuah kecelakaan membuatku buta. Karena merasa bersalah, Hanni pindah ke rumahku, ingin merawatku. Namun, sejak dia pindah ke rumahku, ketika aku dan suamiku, Erwin, berhubungan, entah kenapa ritmenya selalu terputus-putus. Setiap kali kami melakukannya, aku bisa mendengar napas orang ketiga di sekitarku. Hingga aku terjatuh dan secara tidak sengaja mendapatkan kembali penglihatanku, aku melihat Erwin berbaring di sampingku, dengan Hanni dalam pelukannya. Hanni melihatku yang 'buta' dengan provokatif, lalu berbisik di telingaku. "Carikan dia satu pria. Dia nggak bisa lihat, jadi kalau main berempat bakal lebih menantang."

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?”

Tekanan dari seorang mertua yang egois membuat menantunya terjerat skandal. Karena selama 5 tahun menikah, Anna tak kunjung hamil. Hal itu membuat suami Anna mengambil jalan pintas yang sangat di luar logika. Jalan pintas seperti apa ya? yuk baca! :)

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."

In my previous cycle, when I graduated from university, my cousin Laura gave me a gramophone. But after I received the gramophone, accidents kept befalling my family. In the end, even my boyfriend betrayed me to be with her. It was only then that I learned that all of this was my cousin’s scheme. After I got to the current cycle, I pretended to accept my cousin’s present but never used the gramophone. It led to the curse delivering such a vicious backlash to my cousin and her entire family that they died.

Assim que engravidei, fui aclamada como a mulher mais preciosa do submundo. Meu marido, o novo Don da família Jenkins, fechou uma ala inteira de um hospital particular para meus exames, enquanto meu pai, o Don dos Collins, convocou todos os chefs com estrelas Michelin de Nova York para a mansão, apenas para que eu pudesse escolher o que desejasse comer. O bebê que eu carregava estava destinado a ser o único herdeiro das duas mais poderosas famílias mafiosas. Mas no dia em que iríamos assinar os papéis garantindo a herança do meu filho, os dois desapareceram. — Surgiu um assunto familiar urgente. — Disse meu marido, Vincent, beijando minha testa. — Podemos finalizar a herança da criança quando voltarmos. Não há pressa. Pouco depois que eles partiram, recebi um link para uma transmissão ao vivo anônima. A voz do meu pai veio do vídeo, mais fria do que eu jamais tinha ouvido. — Você está dizendo que seu contrato de casamento com Evangeline nunca foi válido. Isso não torna a criança uma bastarda? Vincent, relaxado em um clube, soltou um anel de fumaça. Acomodada em seus braços estava minha meia-irmã, Sarah. — Evangeline sempre teve todo o amor e carinho. Seu filho nunca vai precisar de nada. — Sarah foi ridicularizada por seu status durante anos. Preciso consertar as coisas para ela, dar ao nosso filho um nome legítimo. Naquele momento, meu coração se apertou, e eu mal conseguia respirar. Então meu celular vibrou novamente. Era uma mensagem de texto: [Bem-vinda ao lar da família Gallo, minha rainha.] [Só me confirme, e a criança que carrega terá o nome Gallo e se tornará o herdeiro mais poderoso do submundo americano.]
