Shattered Love
My boyfriend is a forensic doctor. I've been abducted and tied to a bomb—there's only ten minutes to detonation.
The abductors force me to call my boyfriend, but all I get is a scolding. "What the hell do you want, Michelle? What are you playing at, using your life as an excuse just because you're jealous?
"Vi's cat has already been stuck in a tree for three days. She loves it like it's her life! If you delay me from saving it, you'll be a murderer!"
I hear a coquettish voice ring out on the other end of the line. "Thank you for this, Kev. You're amazing!"
I recognize that voice—it belongs to my boyfriend's childhood friend.
I text my boyfriend when the bomb is about to explode. "Farewell forever. I pray we won't meet each other again in another life."

At that moment, Dennis Malcolm, the most eligible and admired bachelor in Blington City's elite circle, stepped forward and confessed his love for me immediately after my childhood sweetheart's proposal was accepted.
For five years after our marriage, Dennis showered me with devotion, treating me with such tenderness that it felt as though I were the center of his world.
But everything shattered the day I overheard a conversation between him and his close friend.
"Dennis, now that Camille's on top, are you really going to keep pretending with Tracy?"
"It doesn't matter. I'll never have Camille. Besides, as long as I'm here, she'll never disrupt Camille's happiness," he answered.
The paper notes he held dear, each one carefully preserved, revealed a harsh truth. Each one carried her name, accompanied by heartfelt wishes:
"May Camille be released from her burdens. May she find peace within herself."
"May Camille achieve all she dreams of, and may her heart love freely."
"Camille, we were never meant to be together in this life. I can only hope that in another, we will walk side by side."
…
Five years of devotion shattered in a single moment of clarity.
I crafted a false identity and planned an elaborate drowning to vanish without a trace.
From this day forward, in this life and all others, we shall never cross paths again.

Never Coming Back
On my wedding day, my fiancé and my younger sister Rachel were caught doing the dirty in the private lounge.
I immediately became a laughing stock, until my childhood friend Jason Law publicly proposed to me, defending my honor.
After we got married, he was the perfect husband… except for his performance in the bedroom. It was like his heart was never in it.
I only managed to get pregnant after going for IVF this year. After that, he became even more protective of me.
I once believed he was my sanctuary… until I overheard his conversation with his friend.
“You’re ruthless, Jason. Nina’s so good to you. How could you swap out her egg with Rachel’s just because Rachel is too afraid of the pain to give birth?
“The baby’s due in two months. What do you plan to do then?”
Jason was silent for a bit, then he sighed. “I’ll give Rachel the baby once it’s born. It’s one of her greatest wishes, after all.
“As for Nina, I’ll tell her the baby died.
“I’ll make it up to her by staying with her for the rest of her life.”
So that was how it was. He only protected me so gently for her sake.
I turned around and immediately made a surgery appointment.
I was throwing away this filthy baby… and this false marriage.

It turned out my sister was the one he'd always loved. He never returned home because he didn't want to see me.
