1st Peter Niv

Mi hermana y yo teníamos una fertilidad excepcional, un don especial que nos permitía concebir con facilidad. Ella se casó con un campesino pobre de la aldea y dio a luz cinco hijos varones. La familia prosperó y salió de la miseria. Yo me casé con el hijo del jefe de la aldea, Diego Suárez, pero solo tuve hijas. Atrapado en las ideas feudales que valoran más a los hijos varones, mi esposo me consideró una vergüenza y me mató a golpes junto a mis niñas. Al abrir los ojos de nuevo, había renacido en el día en que la casamentera vino a proponer los matrimonios. Al ver que Diego, contra todo pronóstico, eligió a mi hermana Lucía García, quien tenía una discapacidad en la pierna, entendí: él también había renacido. Creía que al casarse con ella tendría hijos varones, sin saber que él padecía un trastorno genético que le impedía engendrarlos. Señalé al joven estudiante pobre, delgado y silencioso en el rincón, y declaré sin rodeos: —¡Yo me casaré con él!

Five years after we married, Reuben Slade wants to send me to his superior's bed. The first time, he says, "Lissy, I'll get the project once you have a few drinks with him." The second time, he says, "Sleep with him just once, Lissy. I'll be free of debt once you do." He guarantees it won't happen again, but he goes back on his word. "Maybe you should give him a child, Lissy. He'll promote me to general manager once you do." The day Reuben is promoted to general manager, I divorce him and marry his superior.

Lagi akong ikinukunsidera ng pamilya ko na tagapagdala ng kamalasan. Dahil ito sa nakikita ko ang countdown bago mamatay ang mga kamag-anak ko. Sinabi ko sa kanila kung kailan mamamatay si lolo, ama, at ina. Nagkakatotoo ito dahil sa iba’t ibang mga aksidente. Ang tatlong mga kapatid ko ay kinamumuhian ako mula sa kaibuturan nila dahil sa tingin nila isinumpa ko ang mga magulang ko at lolo. Ang nanay ko ay namatay matapos iluwal ang nakababata kong kapatid na babae, pero ang mga kapatid ko ay walang tigil siyang iniispoil. Sinasabi nila na siya ang suwerte nila dahil nagiging okay ang lahat para sa pamilya sa oras na iluwal siya. Pero hindi ba’t namatay si Ina noong iniluwal siya? Sa ika-18th kong kaarawan, nakikita ko ang death countdown kapag tinitignan ko ang sarili ko sa salamin. Bumili ako ng urn at naghanda ng pagkain. Gusto ko kumain ng huling beses kasama ang mga kapatid ko, pero walang nagpakita sa kanila noong nag zero na ang timer...

My family has always considered me a harbinger of misfortune. It's all because I can see a countdown to my relatives' deaths. I tell them when my grandfather, father, and mother will die. It all comes true due to various accidents. My three brothers hate me to the core because they think I cursed my parents and grandfather. My mother actually dies after giving birth to my younger sister, but my brothers dote on her to no end. They say she's their lucky star because everything goes well for the family after she's born. But didn't Mom die while giving birth to her? On my 18th birthday, I see my death countdown when I look at myself in the mirror. I buy an urn I like and prepare a meal. I want to have one last meal with my brothers, but none of them show up even when the timer hits zero…

The programme is a wormhole to another reality and Peter is forced to go back there and bring home its creator, his brilliant scientist father John, so Trans-Port's teleportation system can work successfully.

He meets another ‘Claire’, now English. She helps him find his ‘parents’ who informed his doppelganger (Other Peter) is a successful scientist, married to Amelia and working for Kilgore Industries in ‘Cambridge’. They are also building a teleportation device. Realising 'his' John might have gone there, Peter follows. At Kilgore he finds another ‘James’, now ‘Other Peter’s’ Project Manager. He pretends to be his doppleganger's non-existent brother to find out about an 'accident' on the site. That night a dream shows ‘Other Peter’ involved in a metaphysical reaction to the accident. John asks Peter to help him find out more about it. They force Amelia to take them to ‘Other Peter’ at Kilgore. They find him trapped between two states of reality just like Peter’s dream. Peter forces John to return to Capistrano but Carver appears telling him neither realty actually exists. The accident killed Peter and he is now purely cyber intelligence. But is this true? Can Peter’s REAL life still be saved?

By the third year of my mate bond with Caesar, the reigning Alpha, the she-wolf who had once abandoned him returned. For the thousand-and-first time, I launched into my well-rehearsed performance—the devoted, desperate mate. "Do you still love me?" I asked. And for the thousand-and-first time, Caesar turned away without a word, his silence a colder rejection than any shout. On the surface, I was the picture of heartbreak. Behind closed doors, I went straight to Caesar's uncle to collect a hefty payment for my performance. "Three years of this acting," I said. "Can I leave now?"

Deandra selalu punya satu aturan sederhana dalam hidupnya: jangan pernah jatuh cinta. Di usia 24 tahun, ia sudah terlalu sering melihat bagaimana cinta menghancurkan orang. Jadi ia memilih aman-bertato, bersikap dingin, menjaga jarak. Semua orang boleh dekat, tapi tak boleh terlalu dalam. Sayangnya, hati tidak pernah benar-benar patuh pada logika. Di tengah terapi yang ia jalani untuk menyembuhkan trauma masa kecilnya, Deandra justru dipaksa menghadapi satu hal yang paling ia hindari: perasaan yang tumbuh tanpa izin. Tatapan yang terlalu lama. Kepedulian yang terasa berbeda. Seseorang yang tak pergi meski ia berkali-kali menyuruhnya menjauh. Ia tahu risikonya. Ia tahu bagaimana akhirnya nanti. Tapi bagaimana kalau untuk pertama kalinya, ada seseorang yang tidak ingin menyelamatkannya, melainkan memilih tinggal dan berjalan bersamanya? Di antara luka yang belum sembuh dan masa lalu yang terus mengejar, Deandra harus memilih: tetap memeluk ketakutannya... atau mencoba mempercayai cinta, meski itu berarti membuka kemungkinan untuk hancur lagi. Karena terkadang, yang paling menakutkan bukanlah patah hati- melainkan bahagia, dan tidak tahu cara mempertahankannya. Esensi Cinta adalah cerita tentang trauma yang tidak selesai, tentang keluarga yang tidak sempurna, dan tentang keberanian paling sulit: membiarkan diri sendiri bahagia.
