Drama Healing

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!

Dos dez aos dezoito anos, meus pais me obrigaram a escrever duzentas e noventa e nove dívidas. Cada centavo que eu pedia a eles era considerado um empréstimo — algo que eu teria que pagar quando me tornasse adulta. Até que sofri um acidente de carro... Na hora de pagar a cirurgia, ainda me faltavam três mil no cartão. Sem saída, fui implorar ajuda aos meus pais. Mas eles apenas sorriram friamente: — Júlia Monforte, você já tem dezoito anos. Não temos mais obrigação nenhuma com você. Escreva uma nova dívida! Com lágrimas nos olhos, escrevi minha tricentésima dívida. Após a cirurgia, abri o Instagram e me deparei com uma publicação da minha irmã adotiva. Na foto, ela estava em um cruzeiro internacional, celebrando seu aniversário de dezoito anos como uma princesa, cercada de gente a bajulando. O presente dos meus pais para ela? Um apartamento de alto padrão no centro de São Paulo... e a chave de um Maserati. Até meu amigo de infância... olhava para ela com olhos cheios de amor. Ela agradecia: "Obrigada às pessoas que eu mais amo, por me darem o melhor que eu poderia ter." E eu, segurando aquela dívida toda amassada nas mãos, simplesmente sorri. Depois que eu quitar essa dívida... uma coisa é certa — não preciso mais de uma família assim.

Fate. What is fate? According to my research, it is to be destined to happen, turn out, or act in a particular way. Iyon na ang dapat na mangyari e—nangyari na e. May magagawa pa ba? It is what it is kaya tatanggapin na lang? Para bang kahit anong mangyari sa buhay mo, wala ka nang magagawa. Iyon ang nakatadhana, iyon ang dapat na mangyari, iyon ang nakasulat sa libro ng buhay mo kaya wala na. Tanggapin mo na lang. I was born rich. Nakukuha ko ang lahat ng gusto ko—kailangan ko man o hindi. My attitude and personality was already rotten that nobody can tame me except for the man who introduced himself as my fiancee. If my parents were both heartless for me, he isn't. Ako lagi. Ako muna bago ang iba—bago siya. But, the story of my life isn't favor of me. From being proud and arrogant to pathetic life. Good thing that I have him. He is always the shoulder that I always have to lean on. He is like my guardian angel for taking care of me. Siya lang talaga ang may kayang umunawa sa akin. Siya lang talaga ang nag-iisang umiintindi sa akin. That's why I kept on asking him, why — why does he love me so much?

After being reborn, I'm taken back to the day I confessed my love for my childhood friend. In my past life, I had to plead and beg before he begrudgingly agreed to marry me. "You look pathetic when you beg me for anything, Annabelle." That was what Hayden Gulman always said to me. He was so cold to me that he even canceled the part where we read our vows to each other during the wedding. When I was eight months pregnant, he took a photo of my belly covered in stretch marks. Then, he complained to his true love about the unhappiness he faced after marrying me. When I went into a difficult labor due to my agitation, he and his true love were on vacation. At that moment, my heart finally died. It turned out my one-woman show couldn't be considered love at all. Now that I've been reborn, I smile when I see the disdainful look in his eyes. I say, "We have nothing to do with each other from this moment on. I only wish to be happy."
