Extract. " Why are you here?" She asked, staring out the window. She has refused to face him since he entered the room, treating him as if he were a ghost. She was a ghost to everyone but not to him and she wondered why. " Came to see you. Did I come at a bad time?" He asked. With a crooked sigh, she finally turned to face him, revealing a tear streaked face. Anger rose in him. Moving towards him, she muttered through gritted teeth. " Every time is a bad time Ray, don't you understand that?" " I understand if you're angry, I can always come see you tomorrow..." She cut him off. " I don't want you to come see me tomorrow or the day after that! I need you to leave me alone! Stop trying to help me Ray, we both know it's not going to work. I wonder why you even bother. Just go away!" " Why do you keep pushing me away?! I want to help you, why won't you let me?" " Because it's of no use. No one can help me Ray, not even you. And you trying is going to hurt the both of us! Even more than we can ever imagine." She spat, tears clouding in her eyes again. She was always crying and frowning. Never smiled. He never thought she knew what it felt like to smile. " But I love you! I freaking do! Why can't you understand and let me stay?" He yelled, shaking her, tears forming in his eyes at the one girl he loved but keeps pushing him away. " Then hate me. If you truly love me Ray... You would hate me." She growled, staring deep into his eyes. Giving him a choice, to hate or love her...

Dos dez aos dezoito anos, meus pais me obrigaram a escrever duzentas e noventa e nove dívidas. Cada centavo que eu pedia a eles era considerado um empréstimo — algo que eu teria que pagar quando me tornasse adulta. Até que sofri um acidente de carro... Na hora de pagar a cirurgia, ainda me faltavam três mil no cartão. Sem saída, fui implorar ajuda aos meus pais. Mas eles apenas sorriram friamente: — Júlia Monforte, você já tem dezoito anos. Não temos mais obrigação nenhuma com você. Escreva uma nova dívida! Com lágrimas nos olhos, escrevi minha tricentésima dívida. Após a cirurgia, abri o Instagram e me deparei com uma publicação da minha irmã adotiva. Na foto, ela estava em um cruzeiro internacional, celebrando seu aniversário de dezoito anos como uma princesa, cercada de gente a bajulando. O presente dos meus pais para ela? Um apartamento de alto padrão no centro de São Paulo... e a chave de um Maserati. Até meu amigo de infância... olhava para ela com olhos cheios de amor. Ela agradecia: "Obrigada às pessoas que eu mais amo, por me darem o melhor que eu poderia ter." E eu, segurando aquela dívida toda amassada nas mãos, simplesmente sorri. Depois que eu quitar essa dívida... uma coisa é certa — não preciso mais de uma família assim.

En nuestro tercer aniversario, descubrí con horror que mi pareja, Ethan Rivers, había estado pasando las noches con su amor de la infancia, y que incluso el certificado de unión que me había dado era falso. Cuando lo encaré, Ethan me acusó con una frialdad brutal de ser una malagradecida. —Hice la ceremonia de unión con Bella para ayudarla con la presión de su familia. ¿Por qué tienes que ser tan egoísta? No es que no te quiera. Solo es un papel, ¿por qué haces tanto escándalo? Tenía planeado hacer la ceremonia de verdad contigo este año, pero nunca me imaginé que fueras tan ambiciosa. Me decepcionas mucho, Aria. Corté toda comunicación con él y, sin perder tiempo, se llevó a Bella de luna de miel. *** Cinco años después, nos volvimos a encontrar en una reunión exclusiva de manadas. Su manada prosperaba y, a su lado, estaba Bella Rose, cubierta de joyas y con una sonrisa impecable. Al verme agachada en el suelo, buscando entre los restos de pastel en la basura, chasqueó la lengua con impaciencia. —Mira nada más en lo que te convertiste por dejarme. Antes despreciabas el certificado falso, ¡y ahora ni regalada te querría nadie! Por los viejos tiempos, si te arrodillas y le pides perdón a Bella, a lo mejor te dejo volver como nuestra sirvienta. No estaba para lidiar con él. Mi hijo, como parte de una travesura, había escondido mi anillo de unión de 80 millones de dólares en un trozo de pastel, y necesitaba encontrarlo rápido. De lo contrario, cuando llegara su papá, el pequeño volvería a meterse en problemas.

Depois de renascer, decidi que não iria mais me apegar obsessivamente a Wagner Rocha. No aniversário dele, ele colocou uma placa dizendo: [Cachorros e Juliana Campos não entram]. Dei meia-volta imediatamente e fui para São Cristóvão, ficando bem longe dele. Ele disse que sentia enjoo ao sentir meu cheiro em casa, então obedeci e me mudei sem questionar. Disse também que, após a formatura, não queria nem respirar o mesmo ar que eu na cidade, então parti rapidamente e nunca mais voltei. Por fim, afirmou que a minha presença poderia fazer Clarinda Prado entender as coisas de forma errada. Eu apenas assenti, e logo comecei a sair com outra pessoa. Fui repetidamente fazendo escolhas opostas às que fiz na minha vida passada. Tudo porque, na vida anterior, depois de finalmente me casar com Wagner, Clarinda se jogou de um penhasco e tirou a própria vida.

Depois, quando segurei a mão do meu novo namorado, Wagner ficou parado no meio do caminho, os olhos injetados de sangue. — Juliana Campos, se você vier comigo agora, eu perdoo a brincadeira que você fez.

“Oh my darling Uncle”. I said while hugging him as he was backing me. “Uncle?”. A different voice asked and it seems to come from the person I'm hugging. He turned around with me in his arms and I stared into his eyes. Dark eyes. Uncle Max's eyes are blue, like mine. I let go of him immediately like I had been burned and blushed furiously. “Uhm, sorry. I thought you… were my uncle”. I told him. A chuckle brought my attention back to his handsome face. “Hello cutie, why do you think your uncle is here?” He said, his voice sending shivers down my body. *** Happiness Matthews, a 19-year-old college freshman, thought she had everything figured out when she left her small Texas town for the bright lights of California.
