Cloud Strife Smile

Ang tatlong taong kontrata nila ay tapos na, at doon pa nalaman ni Evelyn ang totoo: Hindi siya kailanman minahal ni Dominic. Ang mga mata ni Dominic ay para sa ibang babae. Napahiya at basag ang puso, napagdesisyon ni Evelyn na tapusin na ang kasal nila at bumalik sa dating buhay niya, magbalik sa pinaka-tuktok ng kanyang karera. Ngunit sinusubok muli si Dominic ng karisma ni Evelyn nang paulit-ulit, dahan-dahan na para bang gamo-gamo sa apoy. Noong iwan siya nito, doon niya lang napagtanto ang totoo. Nakalimutan niya pala ito hindi lang isang beses, kun'di dalawa... Nadurog siya ng pagsisisi, at ang daan upang kuhanin ito pabalik ay mahaba at mahirap. Kaya lang, tiningnan siya nito at sinabing, "Mr. Ex, ayoko ng maging asawa mo kailanman."

Mariposa, iyan ang tawag sa kanya. Walang pamilya, walang kaibigan. Isang babaeng mababa ang lipad. Sinisikmura ang lahat para sa pangarap. Gustong gusto na niyang makawala sa kadena. Ngunit lahat ng pangarap niya ay nag-iba noong maging kliyente niya ang isang Gustavo Aarav Bryson Salvador Duckworth, ang lalaking pinagtaksilan ng sariling nobya. Para siyang binuhusan ng malamig na tubig at tinangay ang plano niya noong makita ang malaking bulto nito sa dilim. Isang hawak lang nito sa kanya ay tiyak na mapipisa siya. "Are you that desperate for money?" malamig, malalim, at may pagkapaos ang boses nito. Kita niyang lumagok ito ng alak na lalong kinakaba niya. "Kailangan ko lang. Ngayon lang para matapos na ang lahat ng ito," mahinang rason niya at kanina pa pinipiga ang mga daliri niya sa sobrang kaba. "Fine. Ibibigay ko ang gusto mo at pag-ungol lang ang kailangan mong gawin," madiing bigkas nito at halos hindi siya nakakilos noong maramdaman ang pag-ikot ng braso nito sa bewang niya at walang sabing siniil siya nito ng halik. Ni hindi niya lubos isipin na ang isang gabing iyon ay pagkakalooban siya ng tatlong anghel. Mga anghel na walang ideya kung sino siya.

My heiress wife's childhood sweetheart has just announced his engagement to someone else today. For some reason, she seems heartbroken. As her husband, my mind turns into a mess when I hear the news. Everyone in our social circle knows that my wife's family is incredibly wealthy. When she buys luxury goods, she basically buys out the whole store. But today, she coops herself up at home and doesn't go out. Worse yet, she doesn't give me the money for this month's living expenses. I'm seriously losing sleep over this. "Honey, please accept reality and move on. Is there anyone who hasn't been a fool for love?" The second I hit send, my heiress wife bursts out of the bedroom, where she was holed up. "Tell me for whom you were a fool. For whom did you humble yourself?"

"Are you sure you want to change your name, Ms. Anderson? You'll have to change your degree certificate, documentation, and passport once you do." Noelle Anderson nods. "I'm sure." The employee tries to talk her out of it. "It's quite troublesome for adults to change their names, and your current name sounds nice. Are you sure you don't want to think about it?" "No, I'm done thinking." She signs the form. "Sorry for the trouble and thanks." "Alright, then. The name you're changing to is… Aria Byrd, right?" "Yeah." Aria Byrd—it means a flight to freedom.

The day after we set our wedding date for the tenth time, my fiancé reached past me to kiss his adopted sister. He presented crimson roses to her as she descended from the stage. "My princess, in this lifetime, I'll only ever be your protector." I stood quietly beyond the cheering crowd, then turned and walked away without looking back. After five years of engagement, this was the moment I finally gave up hope.

On our wedding day, Lily, the apple of Patrick Luther's eye, tried to kill herself. I grabbed onto his sleeve. "Please don't go." He pried my fingers off, one by one. "Don't make a scene. Lily needs me right now." I watched him walk away, laughing until my eyes turned red. If you don't love me, then I'm done with you. “Patrick, this time I'm the one leaving you."

The day that I divorced my third husband, the system told me that I had completely failed my mission. I had married three times in this world and they were all targets that were supposed to fall for me. But every single one of them chose to divorce me because of Wendy Somerfield. The system pitied me for doing my best for the past 30 years, so it asked me to target my son. It said that if my son could confidently choose me, between me and Wendy, then I could live. However, it was no exception that the son I gave birth to after 40 weeks of pregnancy chose Wendy, just like my three ex-husbands. They all even pinned the cause of Wendy's illness on me. My first husband, who was my childhood sweetheart, pretended to be softhearted, but he was actually ruthless. He actually tried to convince me to donate one of my kidneys to Wendy. My second husband, who I met on a blind date, used a scalpel to personally cut open my body. My third husband, who I fell in love with at first sight, even threatened me with my son. While spitting out blood from my mouth, I agreed to their requests with a smile. However, when they saw me being pushed out of the operating room, those people who turned their backs on me went crazy.

"Ms. Jones, the service to fake your death that you requested has been arranged. Here's the agreement. Please sign here." Isabella Jones glanced at the contract that the person placed before her. Client: Isabella Jones Cause of death: Falling from a mountain, eaten by wild animals. Unable to retrieve the remains of the body Time of death: One week from now One week from now would mark the fifth anniversary of her marriage to Samuel Grant. It was also the day she had planned to fake her death and leave him. Since that was the date it all began, it might as well be when it ended.

I become paralyzed after trying to save my wife. Seven years later, she holds a knife to our young son's neck and forces me to donate my kidney to her male best friend. She says I'm worthless now that I'm already paralyzed—what does it matter whether or not I have my kidneys? What she doesn't know is that I already lost a kidney many years ago when trying to save her. Now, she's taking away the only one I have left!
