Lonzo Hernández por fin aceptó mi propuesta de matrimonio. Me pidió que me arreglara preciosa porque, según él, tenía una sorpresa preparada. Cuando llegué, radiante, a la ceremonia… no había novio. Lonzo se volvió hacia mi hermanastra, Amarissa Jiménez, y le sonrió: —Dices que las bodas son tediosas. Hoy voy a mostrarte una que sí es divertida, ¿va? El maestro de ceremonias ―mi hermano Macerio Jiménez― alzó la voz: —¡La boda queda pausada! Mi amigo de la infancia, Guillermo Mendoza, soltó el globo de agua que tenía listo sobre mi cabeza y me empapó de pies a cabeza. Lonzo arqueó las cejas, burlón: —Alfreda, solo era una broma. ¿De veras creíste que me casaría contigo? Aquella “boda” no era más que una farsa para animar a la deprimida Amarissa. Yo callé; él insistió con una risita: —Si traes tantas ganas de casarte, elige a cualquiera de los invitados y cásate con él. Cuando aparecí del brazo de un verdadero novio… se les borró la sonrisa.

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."

My husband’s childhood sweetheart pushed me off the cruise ship on purpose when she found out I was pregnant. I did not scream for help. Instead, I held onto my mother-in-law, who had fallen in too, and fought to survive. In my last life, I had screamed for help in the sea. My husband jumped in with others and saved both me and his mother. But his beloved ex, stained with blood, attracted a shark and was torn apart in the water. After she died, my husband said she deserved it for pushing me. He treated me with care and guilt, acting like the perfect husband. But when the baby was born, he killed him. "It is your fault, you wretch. I lost the woman I loved because of you. Now it is your turn to feel that pain!” I used everything I had left to drag him to death with me. When I opened my eyes again, I was back in the ocean—right before it all happened.
