After getting laid off, I found a new job. I married a woman who was in a coma and became the live-in son-in-law of a wealthy family. In return, my mother-in-law gave me a million dollars a month. However, one day, my comatose wife opened her eyes, and I could hear her thoughts. She thought, ‘Where did Mom find this ugly, dumb guy?’

At the birthday party for my Mafia husband, Galvan, I touched one of his blood-stained cufflinks and suddenly gained the ability to read minds. I read Galvan's thoughts. He was thinking, "Tracy's body is so tempting. Much better than my cold wife." Tracy, his employee, was with her broke boyfriend, Reuben. Her thoughts dripped with contempt, "Reuben is useless. His gifts were cheap. Once I dump him, I’ll be with Galvan." Interestingly, Reuben, the supposedly worthless boyfriend, was actually thinking, "My father's test is almost done. How do I tell Tracy I'm the heir to the largest Mafia family?" Fascinating. Galvan, the man I stood by, appeared wealthy on the outside, but the true heir was treated poorly. I lifted my wine glass and elegantly approached the penniless Reuben.

Les ennemis des parents de ma sœur adoptive m'ont prise pour elle et m'ont enlevée. Avant que les voyous ne m'aient tuée, ils m'ont accordé trois appels pour demander de l'aide. Si quelqu'un acceptait de me donner trois cents euros, je pourrais vivre. Pour le premier appel, j'ai composé le numéro de mon père. Mon père n'a écouté aucun mot que j'ai dit. Il a immédiatement lâché un torrent d'injures. « Où es-tu ? Reviens à la maison tout de suite pour l'anniversaire de ta sœur ! » Pour le deuxième appel, j'ai appelé mon frère. Mon frère a écouté en silence ma supplication, puis il a raccroché avec un reniflement glacé. « Tu n'es jamais là quand la meute a besoin de toi. Qui va croire à cette comédie maintenant ? » Pour le troisième appel, j'ai appelé mon fiancé. Il n'a même pas répondu. Quand j'ai rappelé, il m'a bloquée. Le loup renégat a ri de moi. « On dirait qu'être la fille aînée de la famille des Thomas ne signifie pas grand-chose, hein ? » Après qu'il m'a torturée à mort, il a fourré mon corps dans une valise et l'a jetée dans la rivière.

Blame it on fate, circumstance, or bad luck - but one thing's certain: Crystal's life has been a masterclass in chaos.

She tended to her in-laws, using her dowry to support the general's household. But in return, he sought to marry the female general as a reward for his military achievements. Barrett Warren sneered. "Thanks to the battles Aurora and I fought and our bravery against fierce enemies, you have such an extravagant lifestyle. Do you realize that? You'll never be as noble as Aurora. You only know how to play dirty tricks and gossip with a bunch of ladies." Carissa Sinclair turned away, resolutely heading to the battlefield. After all, she hailed from a military family. Just because she cooked and cleaned for him didn't mean she couldn't handle a spear!
