Do Ming Su

La familia Torres estaba al borde de la ruina cuando vinieron a pedirme que me casara con su hijo. Mi papá, sabiendo que llevaba diez años completamente enamorada de Nelson Torres, aceptó el matrimonio y, para colmo, invirtió una fortuna para sacarlos del desastre. La noche de bodas, Nelson me vendó los ojos con una corbata y me tomó una y otra vez. Un mes después, llena de felicidad, fui a buscarlo con el informe de embarazo en la mano, pero lo que escuché me dejó completamente congelada. Estaba en un bar, apostando a lo grande con sus amigos: —A ver, muchachos, ¿qué opinan? ¿Quién de ustedes cree que es el padre del bebé de Sofía Reyes, después de que se la cogieron entre varios? Uno de sus amigos soltó una carcajada grosera: —Señor Torres, yo solo le di tres veces... No me diga que es mío, ¿o sí? —Yo apuesto a que fue Paco, ese tipo se lució esa noche, Sofía casi se vuelve loca. ¡Le aposté diez mil dólares a que es de él! Fue en ese momento cuando entendí que, en realidad, no había sido Nelson con quien pasé la noche de bodas, sino con más de diez de sus supuestos amigos. Enloquecí y fui directo a confrontarlo, pero a él no le importó ni un poco. —¿Por qué tanto drama, si solo estás llorando? Si no fuera por la presión de tu familia, jamás me habría casado contigo. Si no hubieras obligado a Juana a irse, nunca te habría tratado así. —Escúchame bien, Sofía, el día que Juana me perdone, entonces sí, te dejaré en paz. Con el corazón destrozado, pedí el divorcio, pero él usó el video de esa noche para chantajearme y me metió en el sótano. —No te creas que te vas a ir tan fácil. Mis amigos y yo seguimos haciendo apuestas para ver quién es el papá de ese bastardo. Ocho meses después, allí, en ese sótano, perdí a mi bebé... y mi vida. Cuando abrí los ojos, volví al día en que los Torres me pidieron que me casara con Nelson para salvarlos. Esta vez, el día de mi boda, Nelson estaba llorando desconsolado.

After dating for seven years, I proposed a hundred and one times to my boyfriend, Jason Brown. However, he always told me that he was not ready, rejecting my proposals. This continued to my 28th birthday. In his suit pocket, I found a ring box. Thinking he was about to propose to me, I was overjoyed. However, to my horror, I saw him going down on one knee to propose to his assistant, Marcella Hopkins. Right before my eyes, he placed the ring I had yearned for so long on her finger. When one of his buddies asked what he planned to do with me, Jason wrapped his arm around his new love and chuckled. "Dude, I don't think I can bring myself to marry a woman who wants to get married that badly. She's so needy. However, if I do get a second wife, I might consider her. After all, she is hopelessly in love with me." He was sure I would wait for him, and he even placed a bet with his friends that I would crash his wedding. However, on his wedding day, I never showed up. Moments before his wedding ceremony was about to start, he suddenly noticed me, fully dressed up in a wedding gown in a separate banquet hall. Seeing me about to marry someone else, he almost went crazy.

Race International Corporation is now facing an issue as to why the company’s ratings and sales have dropped. To organize this Rena Claudia Race, the female heiress, had to marry the sole heir of the Fe Veragon Franchise. At first, she thought everything was going to be easy. That by agreeing to marry that man everything would be all right. But what she didn’t know, as Weidal entered her life many more problems lay ahead. And the worst part? She'll fell in love with him. At the time of their wedding, would she say I do or runaway? "I thought you loved me so I became complacent. But was I wrong the moment I believed you felt the same?"

After ten years together, Aiden, my Alpha, my first and only love, finally promised to hold the mating ceremony with me during the Spring Hunt Festival. I was overjoyed. That night, at the festival party, I downed a few extra glasses of wine. However, Aiden, who had always been so gentle with me, suddenly became someone I didn't recognize. He scolded me, said I was unfit to be the future Luna if I couldn’t even follow the rules, and shoved me out of the car. Drunk and dazed, I was left alone in the dangerous Shadow Forest. Terrified but unwilling to break, I walked through that forest for five hours in the dead of night. When I finally made it back to our home, I heard him in the other room, sending a voice message to Seraphina, his first love. "If you’re willing to come back," he said, his voice soft and warm, "I’ll do anything for you." Seraphina replied, "Even cancel the mating ceremony?" Time stopped. I silently counted to thirteen. Then, I heard his answer: "Yes." Listening to that voice—the one that used to whisper promises to me—I cried. If that was what he truly wanted, then maybe calling off the ceremony was for the best. So, to spare him the choice, I fled. On the day of our mating ceremony, I disappeared. No one expected what came next. The proud, composed Alpha Aiden went mad trying to find me.

My wife, Lindsey Kelsey, suffers from an aversion to intimacy. For ten years of marriage, she pushed me away again and again. Then, on our anniversary, she abandoned me and, in front of the crowd, kissed another man with reckless passion before the two of them walked hand in hand into a luxury hotel. Afterward, Lindsey brazenly declared that a real man should be magnanimous, not petty. Magnanimous? Then I wish them both eternal bliss—may they be bound so tightly they can never break free from one another. Later, I handed Lindsey the divorce papers with a blank expression. I was determined to walk away from her. But Lindsey went mad when she realized she couldn't find me anymore.

En medio de la fiesta de compromiso, cuando la torre de champán ya iba por la mitad, el celular de Marcos Harrison sonó. Me miró fijo y soltó, serio: —Tengo que irme. Lilia se desmayó en el aeropuerto. —Si te vas, lo nuestro se acaba —le respondí con firmeza. De todos modos, se fue... justo frente a doscientas personas. Cargó a Lilia Harrison en brazos —llevaba el abrigo que yo le había regalado— y se fue en mi auto. Al día siguiente recibí un correo: "Lilia se mudará a mi departamento. Me necesita. Ojalá lo entiendas. Cuando se recupere, tú y yo nos casamos. Confía en mí." Me quedé mirando la pantalla y, sin darme cuenta, solté una carcajada. Al final, no era a "quien lo amaba" a quien quería, sino a "quien lo necesitaba". Y yo, por ser tan autosuficiente, no le servía. Esa noche busqué un número en la agenda: el de alguien a quien jamás tomé en serio, pero que me había esperado por veintitrés años. Llamé. —Mañana a las siete, en el restaurante frente al mar.

A town with a strange past. A group of teenagers with secrets to hide. A world inside a box and a man who should no longer exist. Will they ever find out where they truly belong?

Years after graduation, someone suddenly tags me in the class group chat. "Mr. Warren is gravely ill, Mira. Aren't you going to do anything? You really are heartless!" I only realize what's going on when I click on the fundraising link in the chat. Our high school homeroom teacher, Joseph Warren, has late-stage cancer. Thus, Lyra Fairfield, the class belle, is leading a fundraiser and patient-donor matching process. "I'll donate ten thousand dollars. My husband is the director of Waverly General Hospital, and I've already asked him to arrange a VIP ward for Mr. Warren." Right after I send that message, the group pounces on me. "Mira, you contracted an STD back then and tried to pin it on Lyra. She didn't even hold it against you, and now you're trying to steal her thunder? You're unbelievable!" "I can't believe you're still lying through your teeth during such a serious situation. You never change, do you?" Lyra immediately defuses the tension. "Mira, I don't blame you for what happened in the past, but you really shouldn't impersonate the director's wife. I've already arranged the ward and surgery, and I'm donating another 100 thousand dollars to Mr. Warren!" I'm this close to laughing out of sheer anger. She's the one who scratched her name off the diagnosis report and framed me for having an STD all those years ago. I never even confronted her about it, and now she's playing the victim? Lyra soon posts a photo in the group chat, showing off her husband's car. Yet, when I see the man in the passenger seat, I guffaw. Isn't that my husband's driver? When did he start running a hospital?
