Our Love in Ruins

Our Love in Ruins

While working with the search and rescue team to save people trapped in an earthquake, an aftershock suddenly struck. Without hesitation, I pushed a hospital intern, Serena, out of the way. However, the force of the movement sent me to the ground, where a steel rod pierced my back, leaving me unable to move. When the aftershock ended, my husband, Derrick, came down with the others. Yet, instead of coming to me, he rushed to cradle Serena, who only had a few scrapes. Then he turned to glare at me. “What are you still sitting there for? Are you dead? Serena’s hurt, and you can’t even help her up?!” I was in so much pain I could barely speak, only able to force out a faint sound. “Honey, I… I’ve got a steel rod in my back… Please… help me.” Serena suddenly burst into tears in fear. “Mr. Nelson, I was so scared. Just now, Ms. Jones pushed me forward. If I hadn’t shifted direction, that huge rock would’ve crushed me!” Derrick, furious, shouted at me. “Gwen! You’re a doctor! What about your ethics? Your humanity?” Tears streamed down my face as I shook my head. “I didn’t. Please, just save me. I really can’t move…” One of the medical team members who came down with him checked my condition and looked worried. “Director Nelson, the steel rod seems to have pierced her spine. If we don’t treat her now, there’s a risk of paraplegia!” However, Derrick yanked him aside. “Save her? Let her walk herself! Gwen, we’re saving lives right now. If you want to act, I’ll put on a show with you when we get home! “Serena’s injured. Since there’s only one stretcher, we’re taking her up. You can walk up on your own.” His cold, departing back left me in utter despair.

Un cadeau mortel d'adieu

Un cadeau mortel d'adieu

Je suis morte le jour de mon anniversaire, mais ni mes parents ni mon mari ne l'ont remarqué. Ils étaient trop occupés à consacrer toute leur attention à la préparation de l'anniversaire de ma sœur jumelle, Esme Shaw. Pendant qu'elle était entourée de gens qui l'aidaient à choisir une robe, moi, j'ai été ligotée et jetée dans le sous-sol. Avec le peu de force qui me restait, j'ai forcé mes doigts brisés à taper le code 9395. C'était un signal sur lequel mon mari, Edwin Grant, et moi nous étions mis d'accord autrefois. C'était une façon simple d'appeler à l'aide en cas de danger. Je n'aurais jamais pensé que j'en aurais réellement besoin un jour. Mais quand je l'ai envoyé, il ne m'a pas crue. Sa réponse était froide « Claudia, simplement parce que je ne t'ai pas emmenée faire du shopping pour une nouvelle robe, tu as décidé de faire ton cinéma ? Tu peux encore porter la robe de l'année dernière. Arrête de faire des histoires. On se voit tout à l'heure à la fête. » Ce qu'il ne savait pas, c'est qu'Esme avait déjà déchiré cette robe en morceaux. Et ce qu'il ne pouvait pas imaginer, c'est qu'à l'instant même où il a raccroché, j'étais déjà morte. Ainsi, quand la célébration a commencé, je ne suis jamais apparue. Mais lorsque tout le monde a vu le cadeau d'anniversaire que j'avais préparé à l'avance pour Esme, toute la salle a perdu la tête.

Bride Wars: Battling His 18 Lovers for the Ring

Bride Wars: Battling His 18 Lovers for the Ring

My boyfriend, Percy Gaskell, suddenly flaunts an engagement ring on the Internet. He also announces that he'll get married in two months. Everyone thinks I'm the lucky bride who will get proposed soon, including myself. Anticipation fills my heart as I start making wedding preparations. But unwittingly, I end up overhearing Percy and his friends' conversation at the doorway of a private room in a bar. "I'm seriously impressed with the method you used to select your wife, Percy. You actually gave all 19 of them different scores! Those with lower scores get kicked out, whereas those with higher scores get to ascend to the next round! In the end, you choose the best wife out of all participants! "Now, the only ones left are Maisie and your beloved mistress, Sabrina. Not only that, but you're also biased toward Sabrina, so you gave her a relatively high score. Maisie is definitely losing this time! "What if Maisie finds out that she's not the one you're marrying in the end? Will she throw a hissy fit?" Percy took a sip out of his wine glass lazily. In a flippant tone, he replied, "That will have to depend on who satisfies me the most. Let me observe them for three more days. If Maisie is still that disappointing, she shouldn't blame me for being ruthless." His friends all burst into laughter. "You're far too soft-hearted, Percy! Maisie is inferior to Sabrina, be it her figure, age, or bedroom skills! I can't believe you're still giving her a chance! "If I were you, I'd have kicked her out in the first round!" Percy just smiles in amusement. "I only wish to give her a chance because I see how pathetically low her score is. If she can't even use the final chance given to her properly, she shouldn't blame me for not marrying her." I can feel my blood turn to ice in my veins. My mind has completely gone blank. All I can hear is my heartbeat, which slowly becomes louder. With a trembling hand, I dig out my phone and text that man's number, which lies at the bottom of my contact list. "Are you up for a whirlwind marriage right now?"

九年という名の、偽りの愛

九年という名の、偽りの愛

誕生日の日、私・竹村静子 (たけむら しずこ)のスマホにあるスレッドが流れてきた。 【本当の「愛の献身」って何だと思う?】 そのスレッドには、すぐにスレ主の自問自答が続く。 【この質問なら私が答えられるわ。あるチョロ男が、私に近づくために、親友の彼氏になったの。 大学時代、私がブランドバッグを買うお金がなくて困っていた時、クラス委員長だった彼は私の親友の奨学金申請書をこっそり取り下げて、代わりに私を推薦してくれたわ。私が奨学金をゲットした時、そのお馬鹿な親友は「自分がどこか条件を満たしてなかったのかな」なんて悩んでたっけ(笑)。 その後、親友が大学院の推薦枠を取ったことが公示された。私が「悔しい」って一言漏らしたら、彼がすぐに「彼女は推薦の条件を満たしていない」と大学に通報してくれたの。結局、親友は二回も試験を受ける羽目になって、やっと合格できたってわけ】 行間から滲み出る「偏愛されている自分」への優越感に、コメント欄は批判の炎上となっていた。 しかし、スレ主は恥じるどころかそれを誇りに思っているようで、傲慢にもダイヤの指輪の写真をアップした。 【あんたたちがいくら妬んでも無駄よ。今日は親友の誕生日なんだけど、彼は私にダイヤの指輪をプレゼントしてくれたわ。で、親友がもらったのは私の「おまけ」の指輪ってわけ。 ていうか、私の一言で彼、彼女の誕生日祝いを後回しにしちゃったし】 スマホが突然振動し、彼氏である今井亮平(いまい りょうへい)からLINEが届いた。 【静子、仕事でトラブルが起きちゃってさ。遅刻お許し券を使わせてくれ】 【誕生日プレゼントはベッドサイドに置いてあるよ。気に入ってくれるといいな】 私はプレゼントボックスを開けた。中には銀色のシンプルなプレーンリングが静かに横たわっていた。 私は何かに操られるようにQRコードスキャナーを起動し、箱についているコードを読み込んだ。画面には「景品」の二文字と、さっきのスレッドにあったものと全く同じダイヤの指輪が表示された。 奨学金、大学院試験、誕生日、そして景品の指輪。 私は全てを悟った。スレッドに書かれている「大馬鹿者の親友」とは、私のことだったのだ。
