Dokter berkata, aku hanya sisa tiga hari. Gagal hati akut. Satu-satunya harapan adalah uji klinis yang sangat berisiko, peluang terakhir dan paling tipis bagiku untuk bertahan hidup. Namun, suamiku, David, malah memberikan kuota yang tersisa kepada adik perempuan angkatku, Emma, yang juga merupakan ibu baptis putriku. Kondisi penyakitnya masih dalam tahap awal. Dia bilang itu adalah “pilihan yang tepat” karena dia “lebih pantas untuk hidup.” Aku pun menandatangani dokumen untuk menghentikan pengobatan dan meminum obat pereda nyeri berdosis tinggi yang diresepkan oleh dokter. Ganjarannya adalah organ dalamku akan gagal berfungsi dan aku akan kehilangan nyawa. Ketika aku menyerahkan perusahaan perhiasan dan rancangan desain yang telah aku kerjakan dengan susah payah kepada Emma, ayah dan ibu memujiku karena menjadi “kakak perempuan yang baik”.

Ketika aku membiarkan anakku untuk memanggil Emma dengan sebutan ibu, anakku bertepuk tangan dengan gembira dan berkata, “Emma adalah ibu yang lembut dan baik.” Ketika aku memberikan semua hartaku kepada Emma, seluruh keluargaku menganggapnya wajar dan tidak melihat sesuatu yang aneh pada diriku. Aku sangat penasaran, apakah mereka masih bisa tertawa setelah mendengar berita kematianku?

On the third anniversary, which also happens to be Natalie Sherman's birthday, her husband, Lester Garrison, gives her a very special gift—a divorce agreement. Calmly, Lester picks up a pen and drops his signature on the bottom left corner of the agreement. Then, he pushes the document in Natalie's direction.

You should do the same. Don't worry, we're just faking this divorce." Lester's tone is very casual, not to mention he sounds emotionless, too.

I worked for a restaurant, and our boss loved making empty promises about giving us restaurant shares. The boss said we would start with zero shares, but we could earn 0.01% for every two hours of overtime, covering someone else’s work or saving the restaurant 1,000 bucks. I suggested she write this down in an official document and have someone track it properly. She just smiled and told everyone to work harder. She never actually put it in writing. The experienced staff did not believe her, but one prep cook took it seriously. At the end of the year, he went to the boss to claim his shares. The boss said, “Sorry, the head chef told me there’s no official document, so it doesn’t count. You can’t claim any shares.” The prep cook worked hard all year and got nothing for it, so he took his anger out on me. The day before I was going home for the New Year, he killed me with a knife. “If you hadn’t said it doesn’t count without an official document, this whole restaurant would’ve been mine!” I lay in a pool of blood. When I opened my eyes, I was back to the day the boss first made those empty promises.
