100 Million

The day my boyfriend, Lucian Farrell, and I, Roxanne Schmidt, decide to register our marriage, the million-dollar diamond ring he'd promised me turns into a can tab. So, I broke things up with him on the spot. In a panic, Lucian fishes out the purchase receipt. "I just forgot to bring the ring. If it bothers you, I can go home and get it right now," he coaxes. My gaze lands on the figure hurrying toward both of us. "There's no need for that. Your 'little shadow' has already brought it over for you," I replied indifferently. Evelyn Wiley rushes up before me with tears in her eyes. A large diamond ring is wedged tightly around her swollen ring finger. "I just wanted to help Ms. Schmidt try the size. But it wouldn't come off no matter how hard I tried…" she explains between sobs. Lucian's face darkens instantly. "Who said you could touch it? The ring was meant for Roxanne!" he snaps. He wrenches at the ring, but it doesn't budge at the slightest. I watch the commotion before me with my arms folded. All of a sudden, a laugh escapes me. "It's simple. If it won't come off, then we can just cut her finger off."

For the sake of her secretary, who was supposedly battling cancer, my wife, Sofia Griffin, made a shocking proposal. She would pay ten million for taking his virginity as an attempt to help him raise the funds needed. I had barely opened my mouth to object when she cut me down with a sharp rebuke. She said, "Chris has always been a proud man. Just giving him the money would seem like a handout and hurt his pride. "Can't you try to be compassionate? Do you really have to be jealous over something this small?" I said nothing. I simply smiled and nodded. What she didn't know was that, as an infectious disease specialist, I had already recognized the signs. It wasn't cancer... It was late-stage AIDS.

While inspecting the hotel owned by my family, I start to feel hungry after ordering some food at the hotel restaurant. Before the food is served, I munch on a small piece of bread roll for the time being. Suddenly, the lobby manager comes up to me and hands me a piece of paper. "Hello, sir. We do not allow outside food here. It has been 8 minutes and 30 seconds since you entered our restaurant. The total cost of your meal is 1,500 dollars. You'll be fined 1.28 million dollars." I am briefly stunned as I look at the piece of paper detailing the amount I should pay. Then, I take a picture of the piece of paper and send it to the group chat that has all the members of the board of directors. I tag my elder sister in the next message I send. "I've received a fine at the hotel owned by my family. Is this how you've increased the hotel's revenue?"

帰りの車は荷物でいっぱいになり、弟しか座る場所がなくなったので、両親は僕に100円を渡し、バスで帰るように言った。 でも、バス代は200円だった。 「どうしてそんなに気が利かないの？『子供だから100円でいい』って言いなよ」 二人はそう言い捨てると、弟だけを連れて行ってしまった。 家に着いたら、母が、弟に新しく買ったおもちゃの箱を開けてあげていた。 そして、父は、彼に新しい服を着せてあげていた。 外がどしゃ降りの雨になって、二人は、ようやく僕のことを思い出した。 「あの子、なんでまだ帰ってこないの。本当にトロいんだから、何にもできやしない！」 だけど、その時、たった100円足りなかったせいで、僕はバスから降ろされ、別の方法で帰るしかなかったんだ。 その後、変わり果てた姿にされた体を引きずって、僕が家にたどり着いた時、みんな、その場に泣き崩れた。

Rodrigo, com quem eu estava em guerra fria, postou no Instagram: "Os cem primeiros que curtirem recebem uma transferência de término" Em minutos, já eram noventa e nove curtidas e compartilhamentos. Eu sabia o que ele estava esperando. Que eu cedesse. Como nas dez vezes anteriores, que eu pedisse para ele apagar o post. Mas dessa vez, compartilhei e comentei. "Me inclui." Depois disso, bloqueei todas as formas de contato dele. Três dias depois, a irmã dele me mandou mensagem: "O espetáculo de formatura do meu irmão ainda tem um ingresso reservado para você. Ele disse que, se você for, ele te perdoa." Olhei para a passagem aérea sobre a mesa e respondi: "Não tenho tempo" Eu realmente não tenho tempo, porque fui aprovada no mestrado de uma universidade da capital e, naquela mesma noite, meu voo vai partir para a matrícula. A partir de agora, ficamos separados por milhares de quilômetros. E não vamos mais nos ver.

100回目となる婚約披露宴。それだというのに、神崎湊（かんざき みなと）はまたしても、迷うことなく私を置き去りにした。 交際して七年。これまでの99回の婚約でも、彼は「幼馴染がまだ結婚していないから、約束を破るわけにはいかない」と言い続けてきた。 私は手の中にある指輪を握りしめ、初めて彼に問いかけた。 「じゃあ、白川琴音（しらかわ ことね）が一生結婚しなかったら、あなたも一生彼女に付き添うつもりなの？ 私はどうなるの？私のことは何だと思っているの？」 湊は瞬く間に顔色を曇らせ、私の手から指輪をひったくると、窓の外へと投げ捨てた。 「琴音とは子供の頃から、一緒に結婚しようって約束してたんだ。彼女を一人残していくなんてできるわけないだろ！ それに、一ノ瀬雫（いちのせ しずく）。お前は紙切れ一枚にそこまでこだわるのか？俺たち、七年も一緒にいるんだ。その紙があろうがなかろうが、同じことじゃないか」

私は杉野芽衣（すぎの めい）、音信不通だった九条一航（くじょう いっこう）が、突然SNSにこんな投稿をした。 【この投稿を100番までに『いいね』した人全員に、別れ祝い金をプレゼント】 瞬く間に、「いいね」は99件まで増えていた。 きっとまた、私が以前の十回のように、折れて謝り、投稿の削除を懇願するのを待っているんだろう。 だが、今回は違った。 私はその投稿をシェアし、一言コメントを添えた。 【私もその一人に入れて】 そして、彼のSNSも電話番号も、すべてブロックした。 三日後、一航の幼馴染からメッセージが届く。 【一航さんの卒業公演、あなたのチケットも取ってあるよ。来てくれたら、今回のことは水に流すってさ】 私は机の上にある航空券に目を落とした。 【用事があるから無理】 用事があるのは本当だ。東山大学の大学院に合格し、今夜の飛行機で東山に向かうところだ。 彼とは、もう二度と会うことはない――そう心に決めていた。
