Lima tahun lalu saat mengalami kecelakaan di pegunungan bersalju, aku menggendong Nathan yang demam tinggi dan tak sadarkan diri sejauh 30 kilometer. Lututku remuk karena berlutut, suaraku rusak karena terus berteriak minta tolong. Lima tahun kemudian, dia telah menjadi bangsawan berkuasa di lingkar elite ibu kota. Namun, dia malah memanjakan Althea yang dulu mengklaim jasaku, sementara aku tidak digubris sama sekali. Pada hari aku didiagnosis kanker lambung stadium akhir, Althea mencibirku karena bau kemiskinan. Demi menyenangkannya, Nathan melemparkan selembar cek dan menyuruhku pergi. "Ivory, ambil uangnya dan menghilang. Jangan kotori mata Althea." Aku menatapnya sambil menelan rasa amis di tenggorokan, lalu mengambil uang itu dan berbalik melangkah ke dalam badai salju. Nathan, seperti yang kamu inginkan. Tak lama lagi aku akan mati.

My husband's true love had kidney cancer 30 years ago. He gave up his fortune so she could participate in a cryogenic freezing experiment. He even tricked me into signing an organ donation consent form. "You're contributing to the country's scientific research!" Today, technology is much more advanced. My husband decides to revive his true love and treat her cancer. He also asks me to have my kidney transplanted in her body. After I say no, my son frowns. "How can you be so selfish? It's just a kidney." My husband is furious. "You're already dying, but her life will restart once she's revived from the cryogenic freezing!" My family forces me into the operation theater. My husband's even the one who handles the surgery. What he doesn't know is that I've already donated a kidney for the sake of his career. He loses his mind once he slices my abdomen open.

Ketika aku mengetahui bahwa Navish lebih memilih untuk mengantar obat flu untuk asistennya, sementara aku terjebak di lift dengan klaustrofobia, aku memutuskan untuk mengajukan cerai. Navish dengan cepat menandatangani dokumen itu. Dia bahkan tertawa santai kepada temannya dan berkata, "Dia cuma ngambek. Lagian, orang tuanya sudah meninggal, dia nggak mungkin benar-benar menceraikan aku." "Selain itu, bukankah ada masa tunggu 30 hari untuk perceraian? Kalau dia menyesal, aku bisa bermurah hati memaafkannya dan dia pasti akan kembali padaku," tambahnya sambil tersenyum percaya diri. Keesokan harinya, dia memposting foto pasangan dengan asistennya di media sosial, lengkap dengan caption. [ Merekam setiap momen malumu yang manis. ] Aku menghitung hari-hari dengan tenang. Setelah memastikan semuanya sesuai rencana, aku mulai membereskan barang-barangku dan menelepon seseorang. "Paman, tolong belikan aku tiket pesawat ke Nu York," kataku dengan suara tegas.

Mom always said my entire life ran on luck. When I ranked first in my class, she said, "You just guessed really well." When I won a gold medal, she said, "The judges must've been blind." When I got into Westridge University, she told everyone, "This kid has no real ability, just good luck!" So on my first day of college, she tossed me a book of scratch cards. "Since your luck's so good anyway, might as well let it handle your living expenses too. "You get one book per semester. However much you scratch off is all you get. "And just so you can't come crying to me about being broke, I'm blocking you now. I'll add you back next semester." With that, she ignored every one of my desperate pleas and blocked me on every single platform. I wanted to cry but could not even manage tears. All I could do was scratch two cards every day. On good days, I would win 20 to 50 dollars. Most days, I won absolutely nothing. I survived by sneaking expired cookies out of my roommates' trash. By the last week of the semester, I had developed severe anemia. As I used every ounce of strength to scratch the final card, I laughed. Mom was right. My luck really was incredible.

My boyfriend thought I was too fat at 121 pounds. I signed up for a gym and started working out like crazy, but the more I tried to lose weight, the more I gained. Meanwhile, my best friend, Chloe Woods, was doing late-night eating streams every single day, stuffing herself with steaks, seafood, and greasy takeout. Not only did she not gain weight, she dropped from 154 pounds to 143. When my boyfriend started tearing into me even worse than before, I suddenly heard the tabby cat’s voice in my head. “You idiot. Chloe’s got you trapped in a weight-swap system. “No matter how hard you try to lose weight, she’s the one getting thinner. Every pound you lose is a pound she drops. She’s trying to ruin you.” I froze and turned to look at my best friend, Chloe. She was staring at my boyfriend without even trying to hide it, her eyes full of admiration. Then the tabby’s voice exploded in my ears again. “Chloe is obsessed with that trashy loser. Once she gets skinny, the two of them will hook up. Then they'll team up to get you killed and spend your settlement money living a happy life.” The moment I learned the truth, I smiled. Since my so-called best friend wanted to be skinny that badly, if I made her whole body weigh less than 50 pounds, she’d probably be very grateful to me, right?

During Black Friday, the intelligent system I develop helps the company run highly targeted ads and brings in 30 million dollars in revenue. But when I apply for the project bonus, the director rejects it. "The system is just an auxiliary tool. The performance belongs to the sales department." I hold back my frustration and pull up the system logs. "88% of the orders come from the system's targeted pushes. According to company policy, I should receive a 0.5% commission." The director glances at me, twirling his pen. "If the sales commission doesn't go to the sales department, should it go to you? And your lousy system exceeds the API limit and racks up extra fees. You still owe us a hundred thousand dollars. We'll deduct that from your salary." Three days before Christmas sales are set to begin, the system completely shuts down because of API restrictions. Late at night, the director calls me. I stare at my computer screen. "Since the system is just an auxiliary tool, why don't you start with manual targeting?"
