18th Birthday Program Flow

As my murderer's claws tear into my abdomen inch by inch, my father and brother are seated in our family's banquet hall. They're celebrating Carly's 18th birthday and coming-of-age. "You'll always be my little girl." "Happy birthday, Carly." They light 18 pink candles for her. On top of the exquisite red velvet cake is a wolf figurine that they carved for her, and there are well wishes and laughter all around. Meanwhile, I'm curled up in a sewer filled with liquid silver as I bleed to death. My phone has been crushed, and I can't get out. I can only cry for help. A few days later, my father and brother show up together at the autopsy room. My brother stands by the operating table with a scalpel. He slices open the body and sews it back up like it's nothing. My father just covers his nose as he shoots a disgusted glance at my body. He urges my brother to hurry up with the autopsy report. "The victim is a young female wolf presumed to be of pure lineage. Before her death, she was subjected to prolonged captivity and torture. Her throat is nearly severed, her cervical spine is dislocated, and her chest cavity has collapsed. She was also injected with liquid silver before death." Hearing the report, my father looks so calm that it's just like a case study of no consequence. Neither of them can recognize that the body belongs to me—their daughter and sister!

On my 16th birthday, I treat myself to the most delicious cake I can find. On that day, before I can even take a bite, my parents, who are always at odds with each other, sign their divorce papers right in front of me. So, on my wedding day, I tell my wife, Keira Jarrett, "If you ever want a divorce, just get me a birthday cake." She hugs me tightly and promises me."Don't worry. 'Birthday' won't even be a word in our home anymore." Seven years later, on Keira's birthday, her assistant, Jackson Price, throws her a surprise party. She slaps him across his handsome, gentle face and kicks him out of Jarrett Group. That day, I am convinced I have chosen the right woman for life. But three months later, on my birthday, I find out the supposedly fired Jackson has been promoted to Keira's personal secretary. He personally delivers a custom-made birthday cake to me. I call Keira to demand an explanation, but her voice on the other end is cold and distant. "Jack meant well. Don't be a spoilsport." I freeze for a moment, then hang up. It turns out my parents are right all along. The only way a birthday cake tastes right is when it's served with divorce papers.

Setelah lulus dari program pelatihan sosialita, adikku bersumpah akan menikah dengan orang kaya. Demi merekayasa pertemuan yang tidak disengajakan, dia mengemudikan mobil baruku dan ingin menabrak bagian belakang mobil Hayden Stewart, seorang sosok berpengaruh di komunitas kalangan atas Kota Gatrea. Aku menginjak rem tepat waktu dan memberitahunya bahwa anggota Keluarga Stewart tidaklah bodoh. Keluarga kami juga tidak mungkin sanggup membayar ganti rugi mobil Hayden. Setelahnya, Hayden mengadakan resepsi pernikahan mewah nan megah yang menggemparkan seluruh negeri. Adikku merasa sangat cemburu dan mengatakan bahwa jika aku tidak mencegahnya waktu itu, dia pasti bisa menjadi pengantin Hayden. Berhubung menaruh dendam terhadapku, dia pun menabrakku dan membiarkanku mati.  Pada saat aku membuka mata lagi, aku sedang duduk di kursi penumpang depan. Adikku tersenyum penuh percaya diri sambil menatap lekat-lekat mobil mewah di depan. “Begitu melihatku, Hayden pasti akan sepenuhnya terpesona. Nanti, aku nggak usah kemudikan mobil bobrok ini lagi.” Kali ini, aku tidak mencegahnya. Dia pun menginjak gas dan menabrak mobil sport bernilai 100 miliar itu.

My daughter hid inside the cabinet, her trembling hands dialing her father—James, the Alpha of our pack. "Mommy's bleeding a lot. Please, come back and save her," she pleaded. "I'm busy. Don't bother me," James said coldly. "If she's going to die, make sure she does it far away." As he wished, I never bothered him again. Because I really did die, right in front of our wedding photo. When he found out, he went mad, completely mad.

On my birthday, my husband of five years accompanied his childhood sweetheart to celebrate her dog's birthday. Avery Simpson published a loving post: [The happiest baby in the world. Mom and Dad will be with you. I hope you're always happy.] Seeing the words "Mom and Dad", I commented a question mark with confusion. The next moment, I found myself blocked. Charles Logan called me and lashed out at me. "Why do you always have to mess things up at the worse possible time? You're worse than a dog. How despicable!" Shortly after, Avery changed her profile picture to one of her and Charles, hands intertwined. When I saw the obvious provocation, I didn't get angry like before. That's because I had already made up my mind to get a divorce.

When Emma called her father for help,He sneered coldly, his voice indifferent. "Isabella, using such a small child, are you worthy of being Luna?" "You are a little liar born of your mother, let her die if she wants to, don't bother me." He doesn't know that I'm really about to die.
