Error Sans Story

La veille du mariage, l'amie d'enfance de mon fiancé m'a percutée et j'ai eu une hémorragie grave, ma vie a été mise en danger. Ma meilleure amie lui a téléphoné, mais mon fiancé n'a pas répondu. Il a seulement laissé un message. « Élise a attrapé un rhume, je n'ai pas le temps. » Mon amie a ensuite appelé son petit ami, un acteur très influent. Mais il a dit : « Élise est malade, c'est à ce moment-là qu'elle a le plus besoin de moi. » Après avoir été opérée et réanimée toute la nuit. Nous nous sommes regardées dans la chambre d'hôpital et avons dit d'une seule voix : « Je ne veux plus me marier. » Mais nous ne nous sommes pas attendues à ça : Quand les deux hommes ont reçu l'annonce de l'annulation du mariage, ils ont complètement perdu la tête.

Pendant longtemps, j'ai été la fille parfaite aux yeux de mon père. Celle qui a accepté d'épouser l'Alpha Alexander pour préserver les intérêts de ma meute natale, même s'il refusait de me marquer et répétait que notre mariage n'était rien de plus qu'un contrat. Puis, je suis devenue la Luna parfaite pour mon Alpha. Au fond de moi, j'espérais encore, naïvement, qu'un jour je finirais par gagner son affection, et que nous deviendrions enfin de véritables mari et femme. Tout a basculé le jour où l'on m'a annoncé que ma louve était entrée en dormance. Le médecin m'a prévenue sans détour : dans l'année, Alexander devait me marquer ou me rejeter. Sinon, je mourrais. Pourtant, ni mon mari ni mon père ne se sont souciés de m'aider. C'est dans ce désespoir que j'ai pris une décision. J'ai cessé d'être la fille docile qu'ils voulaient que je sois. Très vite, tout le monde s'est mis à me traiter de folle. Parfait. C'était exactement ce que je voulais : être rejetée, être libre, mettre fin à ce mariage. Ce que je n'avais pas prévu, en revanche, c'est que mon mari, autrefois arrogant, finirait un jour par me supplier de ne pas partir...

After I studied and lived in Descensio for five years, I finally graduated and was ready to return to my home country to take over my dad's company. When I arrived at the Sullivan Group building, I took a picture and posted it on my Instagram story with the caption. 'Since you're the man I love most, I'm here to see you immediately after graduation.' Yet, a woman appeared out of nowhere and slapped me as soon as I arrived at the company's lobby. "It's her! She's the hussy! She had seduced my husband back in high school. Now that my husband has become the director, she shamelessly showed up here to flirt with him. So, I want you girls to beat her up. I'll take the blame if anything happens." While the woman was cooking up a story about me seducing Marcus Lane, a director of Sullivan Group, others around simply looked on coldly and judged me. She slashed my limited-edition bag to pieces and smashed the expensive seal I wanted to give my dad. "You're just a gold digger wearing and buying fake luxury goods. It's just a few hundred dollars. I can still afford to pay you." However, little did she know that everything I had was real. Even if she and her director husband worked for the rest of their lives, they would never be able to afford to pay for the damages.

Mon corps a mûri plus vite que celui de la plupart des filles de mon âge. Quand j'ai eu 18 ans, mon frère, beaucoup trop protecteur, a commencé à s'inquiéter que quelqu'un profite de moi. Alors il a demandé à son meilleur ami de veiller sur moi. Mais la première fois que nous nous sommes rencontrés, les yeux de cet homme ne quittaient pas mon corps. Après l'université, il a commencé à dépasser les limites, encore et encore. Le jour, il était mon patron. La nuit, j'étais sa « assistante personnelle ». Pendant quatre ans, nous avons gardé notre liaison secrète. Il m'a façonnée exactement selon ses goûts, et le pire ? Je l'ai laissé faire. Un jour, son ex-fiancée est revenue de l'étranger. Au milieu de la nuit, il s'est glissé hors de mon lit et s'est précipité à l'aéroport pour aller la chercher. Humiliée mais incapable de lâcher prise, je l'ai suivi jusqu'à l'aéroport, seulement pour le voir caresser tendrement les cheveux d'une autre femme, juste devant moi. Il s'est tourné vers moi et a dit : « Jennifer Huckabee, il y a quatre ans, c'est toi qui t'es glissée dans mon lit alors que j'étais ivre. La façon dont tu te comportes maintenant… c'est vraiment pathétique. » La manière dont il la regardait était douce. Celle dont il se moquait de moi était tranchante, presque calculée. Soudain, j'ai compris qu'il avait raison. Tout cela n'avait aucun sens. Alors j'ai baissé la tête, j'ai envoyé un message à mon frère pour lui dire que j'acceptais la proposition de mariage de la famille Sinclair, puis j'ai relevé les yeux vers cet homme et j'ai souri. « Très bien. Adieu. »

As the male lead, Henry Johnston, forces himself on me, a row of comments suddenly appears before my eyes. "Henry is about to misunderstand and think Aria drugged him! The angst is about to begin!" "I'm thrilled just thinking about Henry regretting dearly after Aria dies!" "Keep up the act, Henry. After she dies, you'll be hugging her corpse and crying every day." That is when I realize that I am the tragic female lead in a story where I am destined to be tormented until I die. The readers treat my death as a highlight to push the plot forward. They are counting down to my death. As I look at Henry, who is panting on top of me, anger courses through me. I grab a table lamp and smash it into him, killing him on the spot. Who says that the one who dies in a toxic romance story must always be the female lead?

It was the climactic moment of my game, but the enemy's flash bang blinded me. After I reopened my eyes, I found myself in the world of the post-apocalyptic underdog comeback story I'd ranted about to my friend the day before. No, I wasn't the protagonist with a cheat for a system. Instead, I was the cannon fodder who suffered the worst fate. He also had my name. I found myself locked outside the armored vehicle while a swarm of high-level zombies had surrounded me. 'Blast,' I thought. 'All this just because I flamed them? And I just made a pentakill after my 8-win streak!' I told myself to calm down and let my mind do its work, but then the laughter of this body's wife echoed from the walkie-talkie. "Stop covering for him, gunners! We're livestreaming to the whole camp. My husband's going to rip these Tier Six zombies to shreds!" Then, the woman's useless male best friend buzzed with excitement. "I'll have a permanent spot in the inner city if he distracts the horde and they rip him apart in the process, babe!" If this went the way of the original story, I'd beg for help only to get no answer and be ripped apart by the zombies. Fortunately, I wasn't the same coward this guy used to be. The woman kept egging me on. I sneered. I didn't spend years playing competitive games for nothing. And so, I grabbed a high-frequency concussion grenade that could get the attention of every single zombie in a 3-mile radius, smashed the ventilation valve of the armored vehicle, and hurled the grenade inside.

After returning home from a flight, I realize that my bottle of hair conditioner has run out in the bathroom. The thing is, my husband, Carlos Zappa, doesn't use hair conditioner at all. Seeing Carlos through the frosted glass, I decide to probe him for answers. "Did any guests stay over lately? Or have you started doing hair care?" Carlos flips through the documents, which are stamped with the Zappa family crest, impatiently at my questions. "Maybe a maid accidentally toppled the bottle over when she was cleaning the bathroom. Also, why are you annoying me with such minuscule matters?" When I put on the bathrobe, I feel a ticklish sensation coming from the collar. As soon as I look down, I notice a strand of dried yellow hair being entangled in the collar. The moment the steam dissipates, I see two pairs of intertwining handprints on the bathroom's glass door. I never thought that my home would grow this popular during my one-week trip away from home. I've been married to Carlos for three years, and yet this is my first time finding out that he's actually this wild in bed. So, I secretly text my father, the Don of the Carozza family. "Dad, Carlos has cheated on me. Does the bet we made three years ago still count?"

"The Rossi family doesn't need a Don. We just need a Donna." As the only heiress of the Rossi family, this was the law that I had set when I received the Browning pistol—a pistol that resembles the ultimate authority in the Rossi family—from my Papa when he was on his deathbed. But three years ago, the police relentlessly investigated the money laundering business that my fiance, Lorenzo Moretti, was in charge of. If that business were to get exposed, the Rossi family's hundred-year-old legacy would be ruined. In order to protect my family's legacy and to allow Lorenzo to continue legalizing my family's businesses, I decided to become the scapegoat for all the crimes. On the rainy night of my arrest, I personally handed the pistol over to Lorenzo. "Protect my family for me before my return." This gave Lorenzo legitimate authority to run my family. He used the pistol to purge my subordinates and take over the family business. He even broke my law by announcing to the public that he'd become the next Don soon. An invitation with golden borders is soon leaked from the family's inner circle. Lorenzo's and another woman's names are printed on the cover. During a visit, my private lawyer says mockingly, "If you don't get out of prison now, the Rossi family might take on another man's last name for real." I just sneer in response. After that, I get bailed out of jail in advance and return home to celebrate Lorenzo's "funeral". But no matter how many times I scan my iris at the biometric scanner in the estate, the result always comes out wrong. A young woman, who's toying with the pistol, opens the door at that moment. The contempt and disdain in her eyes are plain to see. "Where the hell did a crazy woman like you come from? You came to the wrong place. This is my private turf, you know."

Ma sœur et moi avons eu un accident de voiture. Mon cœur s'est rompu et j'ai eu besoin d'une opération immédiate pour survivre. Ma mère, qui était la directrice de son hôpital, a envoyé tous les médecins examiner ma sœur seulement pour vérifier son état. Elle n'a presque pas été blessée. Je l'ai suppliée de me sauver mais elle a perdu patience. Elle a crié : « Ce n'est pas le moment de détourner l'attention de ta sœur ! Elle a failli avoir une fracture. » Puis je suis morte. Je me suis souvenu de l'endroit où cela est arrivé. C'était une salle d'opération glaciale.

My husband, Luca, had a childhood sweetheart named Sophia. Years ago, during a brutal gang shootout, Sophia shielded him from the worst of the bloodshed, and since then, she had suffered from severe PTSD. Because of that, Luca would push aside family business every year and fly to our estate on a secluded island off the coast of Sicily to spend three months “helping her recover.” “Victoria, she lost her mind because of me,” he told me. “I’m responsible for her. I hope you can be magnanimous.” So, I nodded. And eventually, I got used to the fact that every year, my husband would disappear for three months to fulfill what he called a moral obligation. That was until the day I flew in without warning to inspect the family’s money-laundering network on that island and saw him. In the town square, under the bright Mediterranean sun, Luca was standing there with a five-year-old boy by his side. “Papa, how long do we have to hide on this island?” the child asked. “I want to go to New York. I want to see the Empire State Building.” Luca laughed gently and scooped him up in his arms. With his other hand, he held Sophia’s. “Antonio, be good,” he said affectionately. “Papa’s position is… complicated. When you turn eighteen and pass the family’s initiation ceremony, I’ll kill that woman and her dead old man. Then, I’ll take you back to New York to inherit the entire Corleone family.” I stood in the shadows, unseen. Slowly, I lit a cigarette. The smoke curled around me as their voices drifted over, the conversation getting more vicious as it went. Sophia leaned into his chest, her tone sweet and coy. “Luca, I’ve been with you for seven years without a name or a title. How much longer are our son and I supposed to live like ghosts?” Luca sighed. “I don’t have a choice. The old man in the Corleone family is still alive. I married Victoria just to get her territory. Don’t worry. I’ve been adding something to her milk every day. She’ll never get pregnant in this lifetime. My family bloodline will only continue through you.” The last thread of reason in my mind snapped. In the six years of marriage we shared, I had been infertile. I’d taken countless hormone injections to stimulate ovulation. I’d knelt in church and prayed more times than I could count. Yet, all along, the devil poisoning me was my own husband. The initial shock faded quickly into rage. I crushed out my cigarette and pulled out my phone. Then, I dialed my uncle, the family’s clean-up man. “Uncle Rocco,” I said calmly, “Luca betrayed me. He betrayed the family. Order a coffin in the finest black walnut for me, and make it large, large enough to fit a family of three.”
