Crimson Karma

Istriku adalah seorang influencer parenting biasa mendidik putra kami dengan tegas dan keras. Hanya karena anaknya di taman kanak-kanak mendorong putri dari mantan pacarnya, dia mengurung anaknya di balkon. Dia meninggalkan anaknya sendirian di balkon untuk merenungkan kesalahannya. Sementara dia pergi bermain bersama putri dari cinta pertamanya itu. Tubuh mungil putranya menyusup jeruji pembatas balkon dan jatuh dari lantai 18, hancur berkeping-keping. Saat terjatuh, dia berteriak kepada ibunya minta diselamatkan. Tapi ibunya bahkan tidak menoleh padanya sama sekali.

Aku diam-diam mengikuti jejak teman sekamarku, tetapi malah tertangkap oleh seorang tukang bangunan yang bertubuh kekar. Dia langsung menekanku ke atas meja belajar, lalu bertanya sambil menyeringai nakal, "Kamu maunya sama satu kelompok atau cuma aku?" Menghadapi ruangan yang penuh dengan pria-pria kasar itu, aku menangis sambil membuat pilihan. "Aku pilih kamu saja!" Hanya saja saat aku sedang dipermainkan hingga wajahku memerah, tiba-tiba pintu ruangan terbuka ....

My secretary replaced me on my wedding day, walking down the aisle in a white wedding gown. The man I had loved for ten years threw the bridesmaid dress in my face and ordered me to wear it instead. "She is the bride now. You'll be next," he said coldly. My grandmother was so furious that she fell ill on the spot. Meanwhile, he and the secretary smiled brightly as they completed the wedding ceremony. After the grand wedding, the secretary posted photos of herself in her wedding gown on social media. The comments were overwhelmingly congratulatory. [Today is such a beautiful day, I finally got what I wanted. I hope those who try to ruin someone else's relationship will wake up soon.] She wrote. Chester Morrison replied to her post: [It is a great day. Don't ruin your good mood by some trash.] When I returned home, holding my grandmother's photo, who had passed away, I found them tangled together on the bedspread my grandmother had lovingly sewn for me, the one with a pair of Swan that symbolizes eternal love.

After being reborn, the first thing I did was switch my newborn daughter. In my previous life, soon after she was born, a blood test showed her type was AB. But mine was B, and my husband's was O—there was absolutely no way we could have an AB-type child. My husband flew into a rage and demanded a paternity test on the spot. To everyone's shock, the results proved she was biologically related to me, but not to him. He slapped me hard across the face, his voice trembling with disappointment. "I've always treated you well. I only ever loved you—and this is how you repay me?" My mother-in-law wailed and cursed me for cheating, accusing me of bearing another man's child to steal their family fortune. I was completely stunned. I knew better than anyone who the father of my child was—how could she possibly not be my husband's? In no time, everyone turned against me. They called me a cheater, a tramp. My husband divorced me and went online to play the victim, stirring up a storm of hate and harassment that never seemed to end. With nowhere to go and no one left to believe me, I took my baby in my arms and jumped from a building. Even in death, I couldn't make sense of it all. And when I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my daughter was born.

Setelah diselingkuhi di pesta pertunangannya, Milla berbalik untuk melawan dan mempermalukan tunangannya. Tak disangka, bos besar yang hendak membalas dendam datang menghampirinya .... Yang lebih mengejutkan lagi, Milla bahkan pernah tidur dengan pria itu?! Milla awalnya mengira hidupnya setelah ini hanya akan diisi dengan perjuangan melawan musuh dan bangkit dari keterpurukan, tapi siapa sangka dia malah hidup seperti tokoh utama dalam cerita cinta yang penuh kasih sayang. "Chris, orang-orang bilang kamu itu cacat. Kamu yakin, orang yang aku tiduri malam itu kamu?" "Kalau kamu nggak percaya, aku bisa bantu kamu mengingatnya lagi sekarang." "Chris, apa kamu lupa dengan rencana balas dendammu?" "Mana mungkin lupa? Aku menjalankannya setiap malam dengan tindakan nyata!"

A 99ª vez que meu noivo, Draven, desligou na minha cara, eu me arrastei até a igreja da família, com meu diagnóstico de doença renal terminal agarrado na mão. — Padre, desejo renunciar à família Rocci e romper meu noivado com Draven Frost. As palavras mal haviam saído dos meus lábios quando meus pais irromperam ali com minha irmã adotiva, Bianca. Meu pai, o consigliere da família, não hesitou. Ele me deu um tapa no rosto, ali mesmo, na frente do padre. — Seu noivo é um capo respeitado no nosso mundo, e você escolhe insultá-lo assim! — Você está arrastando o nome da nossa família pela lama diante de toda a organização! Minha mãe arrancou o diagnóstico da minha mão, zombando após um breve olhar. — Fingindo estar doente para chamar atenção de novo, é isso? O que você quer desta vez? Minha irmã adotiva, Bianca, segurou nos braços deles, sua voz embargando com lágrimas. — Desculpa, irmã. Você pode ficar no meu lugar no baile. Por favor, só pare de causar problemas para a mamãe e o papai! Eu limpei o sangue que escorria do meu nariz e repeti calmamente minhas palavras ao padre. — Eu não sou mais uma filha da família Rocci. Não sou digna de uma aliança com os Frost. — Estarei morta em três dias. Quero que este noivado seja rompido antes disso.

— Ah... Mais devagar, meu marido está me ligando. Com o rosto em chamas, peguei o celular e atendi à chamada em vídeo. Do outro lado da linha, meu marido, com os olhos fixos, dava uma ordem atrás da outra. Ele não percebia que, fora do enquadramento, a cabeça de um jovem se movia inquieta entre minhas pernas.

It all started when my sister made an offhand remark while sponsoring a poor student. She told him it was a coincidence that we were born on the same day, at the exact hour too. That comment made him convince himself that he was the real heir, that we were switched at birth. Soon after, he showed up with two thugs, kidnapped me, and planned to kill me to reclaim his life. I called my fiancée for help in desperation. Instead of saving me, she told me impatiently that I deserved to die for stealing his life. Her friend showed up to save me, but neither of us made it out alive after I was pushed into the river. I was back on the day when I was kidnapped when I opened my eyes again. When the poor student laughed and told me to pick someone to leave my last words to, I did not hesitate to call my sister. Their fates were sealed, with another chance at life, I would make sure to make them pay, and show them who the real heir was.
