LOGINI was an extremely selfish person. I drained my parents’ life savings, abused my young nephew, and extorted my husband’s premarital assets. My family could no longer endure it and took me to court. If the charges were proven, I would be flayed alive, my tendons torn out, tortured until death.
View MoreAfter my brother’s family sold their house to compensate the woman passenger, he and his wife spent their days in a rented apartment, arguing and hitting each other.My nephew, on the other hand, was more than happy to be left alone while they fought, spending all his time online.Then, chasing some idea of giving her son a better future, my sister-in-law listened to the wrong people. She pulled him out of school and paid a hefty sum to send him to a so-called internet addiction camp.He had once relied on being a minor to act without consequence, never imagining he would soon run into people even more ruthless than he was.To pay for his tuition, my brother and his wife followed an illegal recruiter overseas, supposedly to make big money. I never saw either of them again.But by then, I no longer cared much about what happened to them. The only thing that mattered to me was that Megan’s heart surgery was a success.The doctor said winter would put extra strain on her heart.If she ma
More than twenty years of being overlooked had left me starved for love. Even though I knew right from wrong, I still couldn’t help trying to please my parents and my husband, hoping to get from them the sense of security I had missed in childhood.But no matter how sincerely I treated them, they never gave me that same sincerity in return.And that wasn’t because I had done something wrong; it was because they weren’t worth it.It was time for me to make a firmer choice.The doors to the operating room opened, and the doctor stepped out with a reassuring smile.“Don’t worry, your daughter made it.”Fortunately, it wasn’t too late.When my mother called again, asking me to support my brother’s family, I cut her off without hesitation.“Mom, if you want to help him, use your own money. You’re not a child; I’m not managing your finances anymore. “If you want to spend it all on livestream virtual gifts, go ahead. If you want to give it all to my brother, that’s your choice. But when you
I forced myself to ignore the voices in my ear and tightened my grip on Megan’s cold hand.“Tell me, sweetheart, why would you think that?”“Because…”Megan broke into sobs.“Because I heard the neighbors talking about us.“They said you work so hard just to save money for my treatment… that I’m just a bottomless pit.“They said you’re always busy because of me, that’s why you couldn’t keep Dad… that I ruined our family.“They also said… if I died, you’d finally be free…”It felt like a knife twisting in my chest.“That’s not true.”I wiped the tears from her face.“When someone does something wrong, it comes from who they are; not from the person they hurt. The blame doesn’t belong to the one who was betrayed.“And the reason I want to treat your illness is simple. It’s because I love you.“A good parent doesn’t weigh what they’ll get in return before choosing to love their child.”I stood up, only then realizing the earpiece had gone silent for quite some time.Of course. I had almo
By the time the video reached this point, those who had defended Adrian earlier fell silent.Only Adrian, now reduced to his parasite form, remained defiant, wriggling his way out from beneath the crumpled tissue.“I was just playing along; it was part of the job!“And who knows what you’ve been doing out there with those bosses? You think you’re so innocent?“Let’s be honest, you’re the one with double standards. You expect me to slave away while you sit back. You’re the real parasite here!”The bald man beside me, apparently having forgotten the shock from the seat earlier, perked up again and chimed in.“Yeah, let me say something fair. You think those kinds of ‘work dinners’ are easy? You’ve got to make sure the girls keep the boss happy, smile through it all, keep the drinks flowing. By the end of it, it’s more exhausting than overtime!”A mocking smile tugged at my lips as I glanced sideways at him.“Oh?
