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...

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.

On our wedding day, my boyfriend, Hayden Grant, had me thrown out of the chapel. Instead, he walked down the aisle hand-in-hand with his childhood sweetheart. I went back in and collapsed at the side of the aisle. The bouquet slipped from my hands, and scattered petals fell everywhere. However, his eyes did not linger on me for even half a second. "Selena's child needs a dad. Once that's taken care of, I'll marry you." Everyone thought I, the lovesick fool, would willingly wait another month. After all, I had already waited for him for seven years. However, that night, I did something no one expected. I agreed to my parents' arranged marriage and left the country. Three years later, I returned home to visit my parents. My husband, William Fields, was the CEO of a multinational corporation. When an unexpected, important meeting came up, he asked me to head to the company's branch back home ahead of him, where his subordinates would take care of me. To my surprise, one of those subordinates turned out to be Hayden, the man I had not seen in three years. His eyes went straight to the sparkling diamond on my ring finger. "Is this a knockoff of that pink diamond Mr. Fields bought for his wife that's worth five million dollars? I didn't expect you to become so vain after all these years. "You've stirred up enough drama. Come home. Selena's kid is in school now, so it's the perfect chance for you to take care of his lunches." I did not say a word and just traced the ring with my fingertips. He had no idea that this was the cheapest of all the gems William had ever given me.

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…

My sister, Cherry Nicholson, called me nine times before she jumped into the sea. But I didn't pick up once. Now everyone says it's my fault she's gone—even my fiance, my Alpha mate—Samuel Carver. He used to stay by my side through every painful treatment for my wolfsbane fever. Now, he shoves me to the ground like I'm nothing. His once gentle face is now twisted with contempt as he looks down on me and warns, "You don't deserve to be happy!" And truth be told, it isn't just them who believe that. Even I do. Since then, I've stopped going out, stopped dressing up, and stopped meeting anyone's eyes. Even when I run into Samuel holding hands with another she-wolf, I lower my head and walk past silently. But when the wolfsbane fever comes back, I drown in agony and despair. I decide to give my life to atone for what happened to Cherry. That's when they all start to regret it.

Le jour de notre mariage, mon fiancé, Hayden Grant, a exigé que je sois expulsée de la chapelle. Il a ensuite descendu l'allée, main dans la main, avec sa première amour d'enfance. Je suis rentrée à l'intérieur et me suis effondrée au bord de l'allée. Le bouquet a glissé de mes mains, les pétales se sont dispersés, jonchant le sol. Pourtant, son regard n'a pas daigné se poser sur moi, pas même une demi-seconde. « L'enfant de Selena a besoin d'un père. Une fois cette situation réglée, je t'épouserai. » Tout le monde pensait que moi, l'idiote éperdue d'amour, j'accepterais volontiers d'attendre encore un mois. Après tout, je l'avais déjà attendu pendant sept ans. Mais cette nuit-là, j'ai fait ce que personne n'avait anticipé. J'ai accepté le mariage arrangé par mes parents et j'ai quitté le pays. Trois ans plus tard, je suis revenue dans mon pays natal pour rendre visite à mes parents. Mon mari, William Fields, était PDG d'une multinationale. Lorsqu'une réunion importante imprévue s'est présentée, il m'a demandé de me rendre à l'avance à la filiale locale de son entreprise, où ses subordonnés prendraient soin de moi. À ma grande surprise, l'un de ces subordonnés s'est avéré être Hayden, l'homme que je n'avais pas revu depuis trois ans. Son regard s'est immédiatement posé sur le diamant étincelant à mon annulaire. « C'est une copie du diamant rose que M. Fields a acheté pour sa femme, celui qui vaut cinq millions d'euros ? Je ne pensais pas que tu deviendrais si frivole après toutes ces années. » « Tu en as assez fait, rentre à la maison. L'enfant de Selena est à l'école maintenant, c'est le moment parfait pour que tu t'occupes de ses repas. » Je n'ai pas prononcé un mot, me contentant de caresser la bague du bout des doigts. Il était loin de se douter qu'il s'agissait de la plus modeste de toutes les pierres que William m'avait jamais offertes.
