Drama Healing

Eu, Helena Ramos e minha irmã estávamos envolvidas em um acidente de carro. Meu coração estava gravemente ferido e exigia uma cirurgia urgente. Entretanto, minha mãe, a diretora do hospital, acumulou todos os doutores ao redor do leito da minha irmã, realizando um exaustivo exame nela, mesmo que ela só houvesse sofrido alguns arranhões. Implorei à minha mãe que me salvasse, mas ela, com o rosto cheio de impaciência, gritou para mim: — Você não pode escolher um momento melhor para tentar chamar atenção? Você faz ideia de que sua irmã quase machucou o osso? No fim, pereci em um canto esquecido, sem que ninguém notasse.

Após minha morte, meus pais assinaram o termo de doação de órgãos e transplantaram minhas córneas na filha adotiva que eles mais estimavam — Gabriela Lima. Gabriela se casou com meu irmão, Cláudio Lima, e eles finalmente se tornaram uma família de verdade. Eu e Gabriela competimos por uma vida inteira e, no final, tudo o que me restou foi um destino miserável, sem nada. Nesta nova vida, decidi viver a minha própria história e, inesperadamente, encontrei um final feliz.

"All I knew; I'm shattered into pieces. Every word the world throws at me, I couldn't take it." Jenina Ximenez, a high school teenager girl, loves to be alone all by herself; she never ge paid attention to anyone who calls her. Ang alam niya lang ay hindi siya pwedeng mag tiwala sa mga tao na nasa paligid niya. That's what she taught to herself from the very start. Ngunit habang tumatagal ay nag iiba na ang mundong ginagalawan niya, at kailangan niya ng matutong makisalamuha sa mga taong nasa paligid. Makayanan niya kayang matutunan ang mga bagay na ito, o mananatili lamang siya sa kaniyang comfort zone?

. นี่หรือคำว่ารัก ? “ หยุดนะมิน พี่บอกให้หยุด จะไปไหน ! ! ! ” “ ปล่อย ฉันไปที่ไหนก็ได้ที่ไม่ต้องเห็นหน้าคุณ ! ” “ อย่าฝันไปเลย ” “ มินหยุุด ! ” การฉุดกระฉากดึงและผลักของทั้งภวิชทั้งมินตราทำให้ทุกคนชะงัก มินตราสะบัดมือออกจากเขา ภวิชเองก็เริ่มโกรธจัดแล้วเหมือนกัน “ พี่บอกให้หยุด มิน ปัง ๆ ๆ ๆ ” เสียงปืนหลายนัดที่ดังขึ้นมาทำให้ทุกคนตะลึงตกใจ รฎายกมือขึ้นปิดปากไม่คิดว่าเขาจะกล้าทำ ภวิชมองปืนในมือตัวเองที่เล็งไปที่มินตราเขาเล็งลงพื้น ทุกคนในบริเวณนั้นไม่มีการเคลื่อนไหวใด ๆ มินตราเองก็นิ่งงันไม่แพ้กัน เขายิงเธออย่างนั้นเหรอ เขาทำแบบนี้ได้ยังไง ควันจากกระบอกปืนที่ยิงลูกกระสุนออกไปทำให้ภวิชถึงกับมือสั่น ไม่มีใครในบริเวณนั้นขยับไปไหนสักคน อากาศบริสุทธิ์ไม่น่าพิสมัยเช่นเดิม มันอึดอัดยิ่งกว่าอะไรดี...

My stepson pushes me down from the second floor, all because I accidentally break a bowl. He stands over me, looking down with a cold, emotionless gaze. "You're just a stand-in my grandfather forced on us. Don't even think about replacing my mother!" I stare up at the boy I've raised for eight years, and his indifference cuts deeper than any wound. Blood slowly trickles down from my forehead. Fighting through the pain, I dial a number. "Whatever debt I owed has been paid. It's time for me to leave." Coincidentally, I already have the divorce agreement that his father has signed.

I woke up staring at divorce papers—from the guy I'd crushed on all through college. My name. His. Right there on the page. He said I cheated. Last thing I remembered? Getting ready to finally tell him how I felt at our graduation party. Now suddenly, we've got a four-year-old. And him? He looked at me like I was some rando off the street. No trace of the sweet, soft guy I used to know. Just ice. What did I miss? What the hell happened in the last five years?

I had a perception disorder that messed with how I saw and felt stuff. So when I got dropped into a horror game, everyone else freaked out trying to survive— Me? I thought I was in a dating sim. I raised a young fae like she was my kid, fell for the vampire count, and treated the undead like my in-laws. The first time I saw the vampire—face torn up, soaked in blood—I straight-up blushed. "You're really handsome." He froze. Then, low and uncertain: "Am I... really handsome?"

Without Kaelen's knowledge, I had his little plaything sent out of North America. That same night, he cast a blood-vine curse on my parents, banishing them to the wilds—a wasteland prowled by rogues. He was going to trade my parents' lives for the whereabouts of his plaything. Kaelen pushed a communication crystal in front of me. Inside it, my parents were ensnared by blood-red vines, the thorns digging deep into their flesh. Drops of dark crimson blood fell, one by one, onto the barren earth. A countdown timer pulsed in stark red digits on their chests. 23:59:59 23:59:58 He sat across from me, a black suit tailored to perfection molded to his lean, powerful frame. His long fingers tapped a light, steady rhythm on the solid wood table, as if he were waiting for a trivial business deal to close. "Estelle, you have twenty-four hours." His voice was low and calm, laced with a venomous tenderness. "Tell me, where did you send Cassandra?"

My husband, Finn Dawson, and I get into a car crash on our way home for the holidays. When I open my eyes again, I find myself back to before Finn and I started dating. In my past life, we were married for seven years. We got along well enough, yet he refused to give me a child. Only later did I find out it was because he was still hung up on his true love. Now that I've been reborn, I decide to give him what he wants. He and I delete each other's numbers and keep our distance. We choose wholly different paths in this life. Seven years later, Finn becomes one of the world's best traders. He and his true love, Yvonne Gray, make things official during a class reunion. When he sees that I'm alone, he can't help but mock me. "I know I'm the one you love most, despite living two lives, Sylvia. You don't have to keep waiting around for me, though." I ignore him and hold my son's hand. The blood drains from Finn's face when he sees this, and his eyes turn bloodshot. He snarls, "Didn't you say you would love me forever? Didn't you say you would only have my children?"

No dia em que descobri que eu era a falsa herdeira de uma família poderosa, a verdadeira herdeira invadiu minha casa e cravou várias facadas no meu ventre, tirando de mim a chance de ser mãe. Meu noivo explodiu de raiva ao saber disso, e meus pais declararam que nunca a reconheceriam como filha. Para me confortar, eles agiram rápido. Meu noivo me pediu em casamento no mesmo dia, e meus pais escreveram uma carta pública rompendo qualquer laço com ela, pedindo que eu focasse na minha recuperação. Depois, disseram que a verdadeira herdeira fugiu para o exterior e acabou sendo vendida para a Venezuela. "Colheu o que plantou", foi o que disseram. E eu acreditei. Seis anos após o casamento, porém, vi algo que jamais imaginei: a verdadeira herdeira, que deveria estar sofrendo em outro país, estava bem ali, na minha frente. Ela exibia uma barriga de grávida enquanto se apoiava no ombro do meu marido, suspirando: — Seis anos atrás, se eu não tivesse perdido a cabeça e cometido aquele erro, Valentina nunca teria tido a chance de se casar com você. Ainda bem que você e os meus pais ficaram do meu lado. Caso contrário, eu teria sido presa por causa daquela impostora. Aposto que ela nunca imaginou que eu estivesse vivendo bem debaixo do nariz dela todos esses anos. E agora, ainda estou esperando um filho seu! Quando eu der à luz, você arruma uma desculpa para adotar a criança, e aquela impostora vai passar o resto da vida cuidando do meu filho como uma babá. Obrigada por tudo, Bernardo. Ela o olhou com olhos cheios de amor e Bernardo Alves corou. — Não diga isso. Casar com ela foi a única forma de garantir que você pudesse continuar vivendo livremente de jeito limpo. Enquanto você estiver bem, tudo vale a pena para mim. — Respondeu Bernardo. O homem que eu acreditava ser meu grande amor estava me enganando desde o início. Bernardo nunca me amou. Meus pais só se importavam em proteger a filha de sangue legítima deles. Se era assim, eu não precisava mais deles. Nenhum deles!
