HUNCHING my shoulders against the cold, I watched my breath mist out in front of me. It was either that or head into the convenience store opposite and grab some cigs, which I couldn’t do. Ma’d already threatened to lop off my head if she caught me stinking of smoke, and while I wasn’t averse to a clipped ear, what with being twenty, I didn’t give much of a anymore. My wrist was , thanks to how many times Da had broken it, and I’d been shot at twice. I could cope with her pulling on my ear like it was stuck on with Velcro. Dealing with Mariska’s repugnance, however, was another matter entirely.

The moment my best friend, Patrick York, rushed ahead of me into the convenience store and asked for a lottery ticket with that specific string of numbers, I knew he was in the same boat as me. We were reborn. In the past life, Patrick and I were shortlisted for an interview at a Fortune 500 company, but there was only one opening. The day before the interview, I had a sudden urge to buy a lottery ticket. However, because of that, I missed the interview and Patrick got hired. Surprisingly, I got the winning ticket and won 50 million dollars. After my graduation, I enjoyed an easy life by living off interest from the bank. Meanwhile, despite getting hired, Patrick was paid a low wage and suffered daily abuse from his colleagues. In the end, he took out his frustrations on me by pushing me off the rooftop, killing me on the spot. After my death, my girlfriend, Emily Hayward, committed perjury for his sake. She claimed that after a prolonged period of staying home with nothing to do, I was in a bad mental state and leaped off on my own. The two of them profited off my death and became trending influencers, making it big. When I opened my eyes once more, I realized I was back to the day I purchased the lottery ticket.

Kung kailan namang anniversary, saka pa nakipaghiwalay ang long-term-boyfriend ni Valerie. Ang ending, super brokenhearted ang bida natin. Para mabawasan ang lungkot, napagpasyahan na lang niyang umalis sa bahay nila at magrenta sa malapit sa trabaho niya. Kaya lang, ang mamahal na ng renta ng mga paupahan sa ngayon. Kulang na kulang ang budget niya dahil isa rin siyang working student. Saan siya hahanap ng mura e halos lahat ang mamahal na. Saan puwede tumira nang wala gaanong gastos? Sa ilalim ng kanal? Sa labas ng mga convenience store? Buti na lang, to the rescue ang friend niyang beki - si Kendra. May kakilala pala itong nagrerenta sa murang halaga na willing magkaroon ng kahati sa kuwarto at sabi ay mabait naman daw. Yon ang sabi. Hindi diyan natatapos ang kanyang problema dahil ang magiging roommate daw niya ay isa palang lalaki. Para rin daw pumayag ang landlady na magsama silang dalawa, magpanggap silang mag-jowa. OMG! Paano na? Hindi pa ba niya itutuloy ang pagrerenta kung isang hot roommate pala ang kanyang makakasama?

My boyfriend belonged to the untouchables among the capital's elite, with a family fortune worth tens of billions. To "test" me, he spent seven years never buying me a single gift, never spending a cent on me. Even a stop at a convenience store for condoms had to be split down the middle. Then, my mother fell critically ill. I borrowed from every friend and relative I could, but I was still two thousand short to cover the surgery fees. No matter how much I pleaded, he refused to lend me the money. I arranged my mother's funeral on my own. When I went back to pack my belongings, I accidentally found a list of gifts he had bought for the young woman next door. A private luxury estate. Designer handbags. Jewelry worth hundreds of millions. There was also a voice chat with his friend. "Caleb, is it true Jessica actually humbled herself and begged you for two thousand?" Caleb Brooks let out a low, amused laugh, his tone lazy and indifferent. "Nevaeh wasn't wrong. Anyone who goes around begging over two thousand — what else is she if not a gold digger? "We've only been together seven years and she's already trying to get money out of me." So that was the truth. Seven years of so-called testing, it seemed, had been sparked by nothing more than a few manipulative words from a young woman next door. However, it no longer mattered. The moment my mother passed away, I had already decided to leave him.
