Brave Mor'du

El día que Olivia Muñoz y Adrián Vargas cumplían cinco años de casados, Paulina Castillo regresó al país. Esa misma noche,Olivia descubrió a su esposo en el baño, entregado a sí mismo mientras gemía el nombre de su exnovia. Así que esa era la razón por la que Adrián no la había tocado en cinco años de matrimonio. —Pobre Pau, regresó sola y la está pasando mal —se justificó él—, solo la estoy ayudando como amigo. —Entiendo. —Le prometí a Pau que la acompañaría a la playa por su cumpleaños —insistió en otra ocasión—, solo estoy cumpliendo una vieja promesa. —Está bien. —Para esta cena necesito una acompañante que esté a la altura, y Pau es más adecuada que tú. —Ajá, ve. Cuando ella dejó de enojarse, de llorar y de hacer dramas, a él le pareció extraño y le preguntó: —¿Por qué no te enojas? Por supuesto que ya no se enojaba, porque ella también estaba a punto de irse. Harta de un matrimonio estancado y sin vida, había mejorado su idioma en secreto, aprobado sus exámenes y enviado solicitudes para estudiar en el extranjero. El día que le aprobaron la visa, le aventó los papeles del divorcio. —No seas ridícula —se burló Adrián—, si me dejas, ¿cómo vas a sobrevivir? Dio media vuelta, se compró un boleto de avión y se fue, cortando toda comunicación. La siguiente vez que él supo de ella fue por un video que se hizo viral en redes: llevaba un vestido rojo espectacular y bailaba apasionadamente en el extranjero... Adrián se puso furioso. —Aunque te vayas al fin del mundo, ¡te voy a traer de vuelta!

I've been in a three-year relationship with Antonio Bianco, the successor of the Bianco family. Everyone knows very well how much he loves me. But everything has changed the moment Antonio's older brother passes away, leaving behind his newly-widowed wife, Rosetta Serra, who's also pregnant. Antonio heeds Augusto Bianco's last wish by taking great care of Rosetta. He even ditches me at the altar numerous times for her sake. On our 51st wedding, Antonio still ends up leaving with Rosetta, who keeps crying her heart out. I just gaze at the way Antonio scrambles to come up with a new excuse. I notice how skillfully the wedding planning company is cleaning up the wedding venue in advance. I also spot the flash of a provocative smile Rosetta has shown to me behind Antonio's back as she links arms with him. Suddenly, I feel like a total joke for being with such a man over the past three years. When the hotel manager gives me the bill, he asks casually, "When will the 52nd wedding be held, Ms. Marino? We can make the preparations in advance." "There's no need for a wedding anymore," I respond with a smile. "Even if a wedding is to be held, the groom won't be the same person anyway." After leaving the hotel, I dial the number of the person in charge of the International Medical Organization. "Hello, I'm Cecilia Marino. I'd like to accept your invitation to join your organization, and I can leave anytime soon."

On my wedding day, my best friend, Beatrice Hopper, buys a lottery ticket from a convenience store and gives it to me as a wedding gift. I initially believe that she's joking, but when I see the unmistakable disdain in her eyes, I know something is off. "They say it's the thought that counts. This gift is precisely how I show that I care. Besides, I'm pregnant and need money for everything right now. I don't want you to feel bad about taking my money," she says. Honestly, I'm disappointed. But since it's my wedding, I can only stand there and watch as my best friend drags her entire family to the reception for free food and drinks. As expected, the wedding ends on a sour note. The two of us part ways unhappily. What I don't see coming, though, is winning 50 million dollars in the lottery that night. Elated, I tell my husband the news, and we head to the lottery office first thing in the morning to claim the prize. The news quickly spreads among our friends and family. But by the afternoon, Beatrice pounds on my door, demanding I return the lottery ticket. "I should've been the winner!" she screamed. "I was the one who bought it, so why should you take away my prize?" I keep backing away from her, panic flooding my entire body, so much so that I don't even notice she's holding a knife. The last thing I expect is for her to swing it at me in the middle of our struggle. By the time I realize what's happening, the blade is already buried in my husband's chest. I try to call the police, but Beatrice yanks me back. We grapple, stumble, and crash through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Eventually, we fall to our deaths in the courtyard below. The universe must've had mercy on me because when I open my eyes again, I'm back at the moment she hands me that lottery ticket. Here comes my second chance.

Mi hermana y yo somos gemelas, y ambas sufrimos de una enfermedad renal muy grave. Después de mucho tiempo, por fin había dos riñones disponibles para nosotras, y los médicos decidieron que nos tocaba uno a cada una. Sin embargo, mi hermana se desplomó en los brazos del hombre con el que yo me iba a casar, llorando, quería los dos riñones para ella sola. Yo me negué, pero ese hombre me encerró en un cuarto, permitiendo que mi hermana se sometiera a la operación de trasplante y se quedara con los dos riñones. Él presionó mi frente con firmeza y me advirtió: —Tu enfermedad no es tan grave como la de tu hermana. Ella solo quiere vivir como una persona normal. ¿Por qué eres tan egoísta? ¿No puedes esperar otro riñón? Pero él no sabe que realmente no puedo, porque estoy a punto de morir.

My sister, Gabriella Rutherfurd, is the richest female CEO in Brightshire. Her male secretary, Freddie Morgan, mentions that he wants to see a real-life version of the Squid Game, so she builds the venue and spends 100 million dollars to make it happen. The lure of a gigantic cash prize draws in countless desperate souls. Even the bodyguards responsible for protecting my brother-in-law, Cyril Harding, abandon their posts to participate. Cyril has no choice but to go to the hospital without the bodyguards for his medical appointment, but he is abducted halfway there. In my previous life, I found Gabriella and asked her to stop the game and send people to rescue Cyril. After hesitating, Gabriella agreed. She stopped the game and managed to save Cyril just in time. But the few players who had made it to the final round were furious that the game was canceled. To vent their rage, they took Freddie and beat him to death. Gabriella acted like it had nothing to do with me. Yet, on the day Freddie was buried, she ordered her men to beat me up. When I open my eyes again, I am back to the day that Cyril was abducted. This time, Gabriella gets what she wants, and the Squid Game is held as planned. By the final round, a masked man is dragged onto the high platform. Freddie announces that whoever slices the man's head off will win the 100-million-dollar prize. When Cyril's head rolls to Gabriella's feet, she finally snaps.

My wife, Violet Miller, was obsessed with cleanliness. Yet I caught her peeling shrimp for a male intern at a dinner party. I demanded a divorce on the spot. Violet stared at me in disbelief. “Daniel is like a younger brother to me. What’s wrong with looking after him? Are you really divorcing me over this?” My heart ached. Maybe... it was time to let go.

Un mois avant notre mariage, Fabien Barbet, mon fiancé, m'a annoncé vouloir un enfant avec son premier amour, Liliane Delon. J'ai refusé. Pourtant, il n'a pas arrêté d'en parler. Quinze jours avant la cérémonie, j'ai reçu un test de grossesse qui montrait que Liliane était enceinte depuis près d'un mois… Donc la prétendue demande de Fabien à l'époque-là n'était qu'un leurre doré ! À cet instant, mon amour pour lui pendant toutes ces années s'est évaporé. J'ai annulé alors notre mariage, ai brûlé tous nos souvenirs, et, le jour même prévu pour la noce, je me suis enfermée dans un laboratoire de recherche. Désormais, plus rien ne me lierait à lui !

I had moved out of our house, but my boyfriend—the one I had given up everything to run away with—had no idea. Neither did his possessive younger brother, the one who used to knock on my door calling for me. My boyfriend's first love had taken up all their attention. They no longer listened when I played the piano. They even forgot about my cat fur allergy and brought that woman's cat home. My boyfriend, Ian Blake, had snapped, "If anyone's leaving, it's you. There's no way Eva's cat is going anywhere." His brother, Sebastian, had said, "Sienna, Eva is my girlfriend. How could I give up her cat for you?" When I woke up in the hospital after going into anaphylactic shock from my allergy, I decided to leave them. Back home, I made my first call to my mother. "Mom, I'm ready to accept the arranged marriage."
