A post accusing me of feeding my employees free lunches worse than pig feed goes viral online. However, none of them know that the daily free lunches are all catered from a five-star hotel at 100 dollars per head. The entire internet goes crazy, calling me names and accusing me of being an evil boss. Even my co-founder, Dustin Jager, texts me and says, "Maybe we should go with what the employees want and change it to a meal allowance plan instead." I harden my heart and send out a company-wide announcement. "In response to everyone's pursuit of healthy eating and the right to choose their own lunches, the company has decided to discontinue the free lunch program. "A meal reimbursement plan will be introduced instead, effective immediately, with a daily limit of 20 dollars per person per day. All reimbursements will be calculated at the end of the month with the presentation of valid receipts." As soon as the announcement is made, the company's chat groups immediately go berserk.

Setelah suamiku meninggal, hasratku menjadi semakin kuat. Setiap kali larut malam dan suasana hening, aku selalu mendambakan seseorang untuk memuaskan hasratku. Usia yang penuh gairah ditambah dengan kecanduan fisik ini menyiksaku tanpa henti. Aku pun memutuskan untuk berkonsultasi dengan seorang dokter desa untuk mengobati masalah tubuhku yang sulit dijelaskan ini, tapi aku tak menyangka dia malah….

Aku menatap kontrak pernikahan Keluarga Varsali yang didorong ayahku ke seberang meja. Tanpa ragu, kutulis nama saudari tiriku, Dina, lalu kusodorkan kembali. Ayahku terdiam membeku. Kemudian, matanya menyala dengan antusiasme konyol, seolah-olah baru saja memenangkan lotre. "Kenapa kamu kamu mau memberikan kesempatan sesempurna ini pada adikmu?" Di kehidupan sebelumnya, pernikahanku adalah bahan tertawaan semua orang di sekitarku. Aku si penyihir kecil liar berambut merah yang berani masuk ke dunia Cassius Varsali, pewaris sekaligus pemimpin Keluarga Kriminal Varsali. Aku tak pernah sempurna, apalagi patuh. Dia menyukai gaun bak dewi, aku memakai rok mini dan menari di atas meja. Dia menuntut keintiman yang misionaris, tradisional, dan patuh, aku ingin berada di atas, menungganginya, tenggelam sepenuhnya. Di sebuah gala, para istri kalangan atas mentertawakan rambutku, gaunku, dan keliaranku. Kupikir setidaknya dia akan berpura-pura membelaku, tetapi dia tidak melakukannya. "Maafkan dia. Dia belum ... terlatih dengan baik." Terlatih. Seperti anjing. Sepanjang kehidupan terakhirku, aku tercekik di bawah aturannya, membengkokkan diriku hingga berdarah agar pas dengan bentuk yang dia inginkan, sampai malam rumah kami terbakar. Saat aku membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke momen ketika pertama kali mengetahui perjodohan itu. Aku menatap kontrak di hadapanku. Kali ini? Kurasa para pria klub malam lebih cocok untukku. Namun, saat Cassius menyadari pengantinnya bukan aku, dia menghancurkan setiap aturan yang selama ini dia pegang teguh.

I lead my team to develop a new drug formula that passed its first clinical trial. It becomes the key to the company's IPO. So, the board votes unanimously to award me an additional 5% in shares. But at the celebration party, my shares turn into three hams. I assume it is a prank by my colleagues. But to my surprise, Draco Faraday looks at me with disgust and says, "Don't think I don't know. You used your position as team leader to assign all the experimentation to Avery. Then, you take the credit for the results. This reward should go to her. As for you, you should be satisfied with the ham!" Seeing Avery Blake looking both flattered and overwhelmed, I am rendered speechless. I argue, "Avery is an art major. Does she even understand chemical formulas?" Draco's expression darkens. "Cross-disciplinary expertise is her strength, not a weakness. I won't argue with you this time. If it happens again, I'll fire you!” When I try to defend myself, he snaps, "Starting today, Avery is the team leader. You should get a taste of how it feels to be exploited." I look at him in disbelief for a moment before nodding forcefully with a sneer. "Fine. From now on, I won't assist if the projects run into any issues. Don't regret it." Draco looks at Avery approvingly."The only thing I regret is not making Avery the person in charge sooner."

On the day I'm supposed to get promoted as the deputy director, I pick up a 40-pound barbell before breaking my right arm with it. Because of the injury, I missed the only title-evaluating surgery available in five years. Everyone feels sorry for me, seeing as I've practically ruined my own future with my own hands. But I, on the other hand, am so excited about it that I've downed two bottles of vintage wine in one go. Because in my past life, I spent ten hours in surgery and pulled the patient back from the brink of death. But my wife, Megan Reese, immediately accused me of abusing my power as a doctor just to resolve a personal vendetta by killing her first love, Pierre Hopkins, on purpose. She bribed the nurses who were in the same surgery as me. They were adamant that I used the wrong medication purposefully, which led to the patient dying from a rupture. Not only was my career destroyed, but I also became a public enemy, hated by everyone. My mom tried to seek justice on my behalf, only to get cyberbullied by the Internet users, who knew nothing about the truth, to the point that she broke down. In the end, she accidentally fell into the river and drowned. When I received the tragic news, I chose to end my life by jumping off the hospital's rooftop. After I died, Megan spent my assets however she wanted. She also lived happily ever after with Pierre, who apparently "came back to life". When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day I'm supposed to perform a surgery on Pierre.

I was a top-tier heart surgeon. The kind they gave a government-issued black SUV with diplomatic plates—armored, red-light-skipping, cleared-for-anything kind of ride. I parked it at my fiancé Marco Varonetti's place so he could keep it in shape. Bad call. One day, I got an emergency call: heart transplant for the Chancellor—yeah, that Chancellor, the one with state secrets ticking inside him. I rushed over to Marco's to grab the car. Right as I was about to leave, some rando slid into the back seat like she owned it. "Mall first. I need a mani," she barked. "Then get the ice cream Marco ordered. If it melts, I'll kill you." Excuse me? "This is my car," I said, trying to stay chill. "I've got a critical airport run. You need to get out." She rolled her eyes. "You're just the driver. Open those eyes and check the plate." Then the maid chimed in. "Everyone knows Mr. Varonetti takes Ms. Caro out in this car. Nobody says a word." I froze. Marco used my federally issued SUV... to chauffeur her? This wasn't just messy. This was criminal.

I came here on a scholarship. No parents. No safety net. Just brains, bruises, and a shot at a better life. Now they want me on the hockey team? I’ve never even touched a stick. And if I say no—I lose everything. The only thing colder than the rink is how they look at me. The rich girls with their designer skates and perfect smiles. The coach who’d rather pretend I don’t exist. And him—Jaxon Reid, the team’s golden boy, who skates like sin and speaks with his eyes more than his mouth. He thinks I’m a joke. They all do. But I’ve fought for every inch of my life, and I’m not about to back down now. Not when college is the only thing standing between me and going back to nothing. So I’ll lace up. I’ll fall, I’ll bruise, I’ll bleed if I have to. And maybe—just maybe—I’ll learn how to play their game better than they do. Because survival isn’t about being the best. It’s about refusing to lose.
