En Best Xianxia

Ma mère m'a demandé d'organiser un voyage en famille. Alors que nous contournions une zone dangereuse, ma petite sœur Lydia et moi avons été attaquées par des loups errants. Pour la protéger, j'ai intercepté leurs griffes et ai été projetée dans une mine d'argent. Le dos déchiré par la chute, une profonde blessure m'a traversée jusqu'aux os. Et ma jambe droite, elle était enfoncée dans des éclats d'argent. La toxine m'empoisonnait lentement, brûlant à vif moi et ma louve. Elle gémissait de douleur, sur le point de mourir. Mais ma mère, en tant que guérisseuse en chef de notre meute, avait réuni tous ses camarades autour de Lydia, pour s'occuper de ses égratignures légères. Je pleurais et la suppliais de me soigner en premier : « Maman… Le poison de l'argent va me ronger le cœur, je ne tiendrai plus longtemps... » Elle s'est retournée, l'air exaspéré, et a hurlé : « Tu essayes encore d'attirer mon attention à ce moment ? Tu sais que Lydia a failli se faire lacérer le visage par ces griffes d'argent ? Notre meute n'a jamais eu une louve aussi cruelle que toi ! » À ce moment-là, j'ai entendu le dernier cri de ma louve, qui me disait adieu. Finalement, je me suis endormie dans le froid, sans jamais me réveiller...

Siempre tuve el presentimiento de que Mateo fue obligado a casarse conmigo. Pero cada noche en la intimidad, cuando estábamos juntos, él prefería acariciarme y ayudarme con sus manos antes que realmente hacerme suya. Con el tiempo, mi corazón empezó a enfriarse y, ya cansada de sentirme rechazada, decidí pedir el divorcio. Pero la noche antes de imprimir los papeles, escuché por accidente una conversación en la terraza entre Mateo y sus amigos. —Mira, no es por meterme, —dijo uno de ellos—. pero la deseas como un loco, entonces ¿por qué no la tocas? Tienes a una mujer perfecta a tu lado. —Las mujeres no soportan que las ignoren —agregó otro—. Si sigues reprimiéndote así, algún día se irá con otro hombre, y después te arrepentirás. Mateo guardó silencio un momento antes de responder en voz baja: —Su piel es demasiado delicada… su cintura tan fina y sensible… Si pierdo el control, podría asustarla. Además, es mi mujer, tengo que ser cuidadoso con ella. Si alguna vez necesita buscar consuelo en otro lugar… tampoco pasa nada. Mientras siga queriendo volver a mi lado, yo seguiré cuidándola y consintiéndola. Al escuchar eso, varios amigos soltaron una risa burlona. —Ya deja de hacerte el santo, si lo fueras, entonces deja de buscar esas cosas a escondidas en Google. Esa misma noche, movida por la curiosidad, abrí el historial de su navegador. Había más de cien búsquedas… y todas decían lo mismo: “Finalmente me casé con la chica que he amado en secreto durante años. Tengo un fuerte deseo por ella… ¿cómo puedo hacerla disfrutar sin lastimarla ni dejarle un trauma?”

En el quinto año de matrimonio, Julieta Torres se quejaba de que la vitamina C que su esposo le había comprado sabía demasiado amarga. Con el frasco en la mano, fue al hospital. El médico lo revisó y dijo: —Esto no es vitamina C. —¿Perdón, puede repetirlo? —preguntó Julieta. —Lo repita cuantas veces lo repita, es lo mismo —señaló el frasco—. Esto es mifepristona. Si la tomas en exceso no solo causa esterilidad, también daña seriamente el cuerpo. La garganta de Julieta se sintió como si algo la obstruyera, y sus manos, aferraban el frasco con fuerza. —Eso es imposible, este medicamento me lo dio mi esposo. Se llama Bruno Castro, también es médico en este hospital. La mirada del doctor hacia ella se volvió extraña, cargada de un matiz difícil de explicar. Al final, sonrió levemente. —Señorita, mejor vaya a consultar a psiquiatría. Todos aquí conocemos a la esposa del doctor Castro, y hace apenas un par de meses dio a luz a un bebé. No se haga ilusiones, muchacha, no tiene caso.

Three months after my baby was born, I found out my husband, Joe, was cheating. The other woman? Hailey. Pregnant and smug. Joe actually got on his knees, begging for a divorce. I said yes. Until I could find a place, Joe's mom, Claudia, let me stay at the house. "Hailey," Claudia said, "you'll handle all the household responsibilities now." Hailey, all fake enthusiasm, chirped, "I'll take good care of this family!" Claudia replied, "Great. You'll start your day at five making breakfast. When Luca's hungry, you'll feed him and change his diapers. Once he's down for a nap, clean the house, grocery shop, and prep lunch. Laundry in the afternoon, tea service mid-day, then bathe Luca and cook dinner. After that, you'll put him to bed." Hailey's face? Priceless.
