REBORN AS A PLUS-SIZE GIRL

Amora’s POV “Can I help you, Ma’am?”“No need, I’ll do it myself,” I replied without taking my eyes off what I was doing.Well, I was baking a birthday cake. I know I could buy a nice, expensive cake. But I chose to make it with my own hands.Today is my wedding anniversary with David, the man I love so dearly. The man who has become the sole center of my world.We’ve been married for five years, and for five years I’ve been trying to be a good and perfect wife for him.I willingly gave up my promising career. I willingly gave him my entire inheritance.People say I’m foolish, but I don’t care. As long as David is by my side, as long as David doesn’t leave me, I’ll do anything he likes.I used to be a spoiled child who couldn’t cook, but now I’ve become a wife who’s a great cook.In fact, I’ve even learned the things that please him in bed.I’m embarrassed to talk about it, but I want to satisfy him every time we have sex.“I pray that you and Mr. David will always live happily and b

My body froze at those words. Even if I survived, I would surely be severely disabled.“Why? Are you scared, Amora?” Lidia asked with a condescending laugh.I held my ground, even though I was actually afraid. Given what she’d already done to me, I was sure she was capable of anything. And pushing me off this floor… she would definitely do it.“No! Because I won’t die. Even if I die, I’ll come back! I’ll make you suffer. I’ll make you forget that I’m Amora—the one who can do anything!”David and Lidia burst out laughing, as if what I’d said was nothing but a joke.Then they exchanged glances, as if signaling each other.After that, David came closer and pulled my hand forcefully toward the window. I tried to hold on, but his pull was so strong that we ended up outside—on the balcony. The place I’d once built to gaze at the view when I felt exhausted from all the work.And this, my most comfortable place, would bear witness to how my husband and his mistress would kill me.“Don’t you w

“Don’t talk like that, Elena. After all, Bella is your older sister; you have to respect her.”“Ugh, Mom’s stepsister! I’m embarrassed to have a sister like her. Did Mom forget that back in school she embarrassed us by almost failing to graduate? And to top it off, she actually asked to marry Alvaro. That’s crazy, right?”I just stayed silent, listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter. From that, I pieced together one fact: the middle-aged woman named Mira was Bella’s stepmother, and Elena was her stepsister. No wonder her gaze toward Bella was anything but sincere.“Don’t be like that. After all, she’s my daughter; I’m still proud of Bella. As for marrying Alvaro, I’ll discuss this with her father. Hopefully, I can arrange for you to marry Alvaro,” she said, looking in my direction. “You still want to marry Alvaro, right, Bella?”I stayed silent, unsure of what to say. I also didn’t know what Alvaro looked like. Was he a fat guy too, or…?Ah, I didn’t want to thin

“What’s going on here?”I turned around as Mira walked in. Behind her was Elena, following with a curious look on her face.“Wow, what is it this time? You never stop causing controversy, Bella!” she exclaimed. Her arms were crossed over her chest, and she glared at me with an annoyed expression. I completely ignored her, turning to look at Mira, who was shocked by what she saw. “Bella, what’s wrong, sweetie? Why did you throw away all your favorite collectible dolls? They’re still brand new—they were a gift from Mom. You said you loved them so much—why did you throw them away?” Mira asked again.I exhaled softly, rubbing my temples, which ached. “I don’t like any of them, so I threw them away.”“You don’t like them? Why? Didn’t you want to be a Barbie? Didn’t you want to be beautiful and graceful so Varo would like you?”I shook my head slowly. I felt like this Bella was becoming a fool because of the people in this house. How could someone who’s twenty years old still be playing w

No sooner had Grandpa Filipe left my room than Mira burst right in. And yet, at that very moment, I wanted to take a bath—to cool off my body, which felt so hot.“Bella, what did Grandpa Filipe just say to you?” she asked right away, looking curious.I didn’t answer right away; instead, I looked at her suspiciously. Had Bella really believed her stepmother all this time? Had Bella all this time thought of this woman as a fairy godmother? If that were true, Bella was truly foolish!Ah, I forgot that I, too, had been foolish for five years, deceived by David and Lidia. I was foolish enough to walk away from a career on the rise; I was foolish to entrust the company to them. It ended with me being murdered, but I won’t let them live happily at the expense of my suffering.“Why are you so quiet? What was Grandpa talking about? You’ve already asked to marry Alvaro right away, haven’t you? You should have, Bella. Because if you marry him, you’ll be the only daughter-in-law, you’ll become Mr
