Mag-log inWhen my wife, Melanie Sanders, and I were on our way to undergo IVF treatment, we ended up losing our lives in a car crash. Then, we both get reborn at the same time. She complains to me, "I want nothing more than to become a mother! It's a shame that you can't impregnate me at all!" Hence, she gets married to a wealthy scion. Having lost my hope in Melanie, I decide to let her go. After that, I marry another woman and build a family with her. Soon, we lead a happy and comfortable life together. That is, until I end up meeting Melanie again in the future. As she lays her gaze on my daughter, she comments disdainfully, "Oh? So, you're a stepfather now! I suppose only an impoverished loser like you deserves to raise children who aren't of your own blood!" I gaze back at Melanie's daughter as well, a cold smirk curling on my lips. "I suppose the rich really know how to enjoy themselves. After all, your daughter isn't of your own blood, either." After that, I lead my daughter away while laughing joyously.

Passou rente ao meu rosto e explodiu na parede da cozinha, espalhando cacos brancos pelo chão de pedra. — Olha o que você me obriga a fazer, Elara! — a voz de Selene ecoou pela casa, firme, autoritária, como tudo nela. — Sempre trazendo vergonha para esta família! Ela estava impecável, como sempre. Postura ereta, queixo erguido, o olhar afiado de uma loba que nunca duvidou do próprio lugar. Forte. Altiva. Respeitada na alcateia Luar de Ferro. Eu, ao contrário, estava parada no meio da cozinha, as mãos cerradas, o coração batendo alto demais para um corpo que já tinha aguentado coisa demais. — Vergonha? — perguntei, sentindo minha loba rosnar baixo dentro do peito. — Vergonha é fingir que eu não existo todos os dias. Outro objeto veio. Um jarro de cerâmica. Me abaixei por reflexo. Ele se partiu atrás de mim. — Cala a boca! — Selene gritou. — Você acha que tem o direito de falar comigo nesse tom? — Eu tenho o direito de falar a verdade! Iria tentou se colocar entre nós, os olhos marejados. — Mãe, por favor, para… — Saia da frente — Selene empurrou-a com força. — Isso não é assunto seu. — Não encosta nela! — Kael segurou o braço da mãe, os dentes cerrados. — Já chega! Ela se soltou com um puxão violento. — Esta casa é minha! — rosnou. — E eu não admito ser desrespeitada por uma ômega inútil! Meu sangue ferveu. — Não é sua! — avancei um passo. — Nunca foi só sua. E você sabe disso! O tapa veio rápido. Minha cabeça virou para o lado. O gosto de sangue encheu minha boca. A cozinha ficou em silêncio por um segundo longo demais. Então… eu ri. Não de humor. De ruptura. — Você b**e como vive — cuspi. — Fraca por dentro e cruel por escolha. O rosto de Selene se contorceu de ódio. — Você ousa me chamar de fraca? — ela riu, sem humor. — Você é igual à sua mãe, Elara. Uma ômega quebrada, arrastando vergonha por onde passa. Meu peito apertou violentamente. — Não ouse falar da minha mãe — rosnei. — Você nunca chegou aos pés dela. — Maelis se matou porque era fraca demais para viver! — Selene gritou. — E você vai acabar igual se continuar fingindo que é alguma coisa! Algo dentro de mim explodiu. Empurrei a mesa com força. Ela caiu com estrondo, pratos e talheres se espalhando. — Eu aguentei você a minha vida inteira! — gritei. — Aguentei seus olhares, suas humilhações, você me tratando como um erro todos os dias! — Porque você é! — Selene respondeu, fria. — Você é o erro que Bram cometeu antes de encontrar sua verdadeira companheira! Meus irmãos choravam agora, tentando me puxar para trás. — Elara, por favor… — Chega — disse uma voz dura. Meu pai estava parado à porta. Bram, o Beta da alcateia Luar de Ferro, braços cruzados, expressão fechada. Forte. Respeitado. E completamente distante. — Isso já foi longe demais — ele disse. Olhei para ele, o coração implorando por algo que nunca vinha. — Ela me bateu — falei. — Ela insultou a mamãe. — Você provocou — Bram respondeu, sem hesitar. Foi ali que algo morreu dentro de mim. — Eu provoquei… por existir? Ele suspirou, impaciente, como se eu fosse um problema mal resolvido. — Elara, você tem dezenove anos. Já é adulta. A alcateia pode sustentar você fora daqui sem dificuldade. Engoli em seco. — Está me expulsando? — Estou dizendo que não há mais espaço para você nesta casa — ele disse. — Nem no esquadrão que eu comando. Meu coração afundou. — Nem no seu esquadrão… — Peça transferência — Bram continuou. — Não misturo conflitos pessoais com liderança. Atrás dele, Selene sorriu. Vitória pura. — Pai, não faz isso — Kael implorou. — Ela não fez nada — Iria chorava. — Chega — Bram ordenou. — Elara, arrume suas coisas. Fiquei ali por um segundo, sentindo o peso de cada palavra esmagar meu peito. — Então é isso — murmurei. — Você escolhe ela. Ele não respondeu. E o silêncio foi a resposta. Virei as costas. Cada passo para fora daquela casa arrancava algo de mim… mas também deixava algo para trás. Quando cruzei a porta, ouvi Selene dizer, doce como veneno: — Finalmente. Não chorei. Só quando a noite me engoliu inteira. E, enquanto a Lua subia no céu da Luar de Ferro, eu soube: Eu tinha acabado de perder minha família. E ainda não fazia ideia de que aquela seria apenas a primeira queda.After learning the truth, Melanie began to exact her revenge.She first drugged her in-laws' food, rendering them trapped in vegetative states. Then, she pulled a scheme to transfer all the company's assets to herself before kicking Kenneth out of the company. She didn't even show any mercy toward her "daughter".Forced into a corner with no way out, especially while burdened with mountains of debt, Kenneth had no choice but to sell his body so that he could support his daughter. One year later, he had the misfortune of contracting a sexually transmitted disease. He hid in the company's underground parking lot and waited for Melanie. The instant he saw her, he lunged forward and plunged a knife into her belly.As he stabbed her repeatedly, he bellowed, "Did I force you to marry me? You ate my food and spent my money! My parents even sponsored you so you could head overseas and pursue your studies! Everything you have today is because of us!"All I did was cheat on you! You can't
"No, that's impossible!" Melanie's expression was growing increasingly crazed. "My daughter is already seven years old, yet you're claiming that I'm infertile? I know! You're just deliberately agitating me, aren't you? "Well, let me tell you something, Robert Solt! You lost this bet! I will never regret my decision! Never!"I'm just an ordinary, healthy woman. I got together with Kenneth because he could give me the resources I want. Is it wrong of me for wanting to live a better life? "Besides, it's not like I relied completely on his family's influence. I used my own two hands and depended on my own capabilities to make a name for myself internationally. I even started my own company! Who else among our classmates has achieved such a feat?"You can't deny that I'm even more successful in this life than our previous one!"The more she spoke, the more agitated she became, as though she was trying to prove something.I simply sipped at my coffee, not interrupting her tirade.Wh
I answered with absolute certainty, "No way."Melanie just couldn't believe that I would live a better life after leaving her in our previous life. After all, in her eyes, the only reason she had lived such a terrible life was all because of my fault. Thus, it was only right that I paid for my sins in this life by being impoverished. She had also expected that I would forever feel regret for giving up on her.Never could she have imagined that I would be doing even better without her in my life.A slight hint of jealousy peeked through Hermione's tone as she demanded, "Then, what about you? Are you still thinking about her?"Pressing a kiss to the corner of her lips, I replied with fond exasperation, "Of course not, silly."Hermione stopped pressing the matter after that. Hugging me tightly, she deepened the kiss before moving to whisper seductively in my ear, "I love you, darling. You know, Carol has been saying how much she wants a younger brother to play with…"The night passe
Every single person there was stunned, momentarily unable to process Hermione's words.Kenneth questioned in shock, "Your husband? Do you mean… Robert Solt?"Instead of answering, Hermione strode straight toward me and stepped between me and Caroline. She then leaned into my embrace, thereby keeping Caroline apart from me. "What? Are we not a match for each other?"Caroline immediately rolled her eyes."Robert, you actually married Hermione Yowle?" Kenneth's voice had gone shrill with disbelief. "Then, why the heck were you acting poor? Why were you riding a lousy motorcycle?"Caroline's eyes gleamed with excitement as she answered, "Mister, don't you think a motorcycle is super cool?"Ever since she started kindergarten, she had been envious of other parents sending their children to school on motorcycles. Hence, fond exasperation had me borrowing my father's motorcycle that morning.Realizing that they had been making fun of someone leagues richer than them, both Melanie and K
"Ms. Yowle, you might not be aware, but I'm a decent, well-mannered man who doesn't like talking bad about other people. However, some people just don't know their place and insist on humiliating themselves! "He's jealous that Melanie's with me now and feels like he lost out on a good woman, so he
Despite Kenneth's words, I didn't miss the hint of embarrassment lurking in his eyes.It seemed there really was something fishy with his daughter!At that moment, Melanie hurried over to stand in front of Kenneth protectively before giving me a harsh shove.Caught off guard and also because I di
"Congratulations on getting what you've always wished for," I answered blandly, completely unbothered. I didn't even spare a glance at the luxury car key Melanie was waving in my face.After all, I had a drawer full of such keys at home.Apparently, that wasn't the answer she had been expecting, f
The next time I met Melanie Sanders again, it was at my daughter's ballet recital.I sped down the roads on my motorcycle as I brought my daughter, Caroline Solt, to school. Just as I stopped at the gates, I heard a wave of exclamations come from the crowd."Look! That Lamborghini is truly the epi
