My husband threw me into the crocodile pit to help his childhood sweetheart, who was a KOL, gain popularity. To make the live stream more realistic, he personally tossed bait at me. “Have you not eaten? My grandma can run faster than you!” He watched as I bled from my abdomen, believing I was just pretending to be pitiful. When I asked for a divorce, he kicked me to the ground. “Since you love pretending to be pitiful to ask for a divorce, why didn’t you just let the crocodile kill you?” I handed him a medical report. “My child died because of you. Does this count as pretending to be pitiful?”

Imbes humingi ng tawad, iginiit ni Isobel na bakla siya dahil sa malambot nitong kilos. Dala ng kalasingan, hinamon niya itong halikan at buntisin siya kung tunay na lalaki ito. Sa kaguluhan, natumba sila at nagpatong ang katawan. Hindi napigilan ni Alejandro ang sarili, hinawakan nito ang bewang para pigilan tumayo.

Ma sœur aînée, qui avait toujours détesté les études, a soudain déclaré vouloir passer l'examen d'entrée à l'université. Elle est même allée jusqu'à demander à nos parents de me marier avec le fils d'un haut gradé, afin d'obtenir l'argent pour financer sa scolarité. À ce moment-là, j'ai compris qu'elle aussi s'était réincarnée. Dans ma vie précédente, elle avait toujours pensé que les études ne servaient à rien. À peine diplômée du lycée, elle s'est mariée avec le fils d'un chef militaire venu avec le don généreux. Mais plus tard, lorsque Cédric Blanc a été muté dans une région reculée, elle a trouvé l'environnement trop rude et a refusé de le suivre. De mon côté, je travaillais pour financer mes études, j'ai obtenu mon diplôme et j'ai décroché un emploi stable dans la fonction publique : je suis devenue une véritable citadine au sens plein du terme. Pendant ce temps, ma sœur, installée dans la zone militaire, profitait de l'autorité de son beau-père pour toucher des pots-de-vin. Cette conduite a entraîné une enquête des supérieurs, qui a fait tomber son beau-père de son poste. Elle a finalement été chassée par sa belle-mère. Divorcée, elle a ensuite été dupée et entraînée à Paris pour spéculer en bourse. Quand le marché s'est effondré, elle a perdu non seulement tout, mais aussi les économies de retraite de nos parents. À bout de ressources, elle s'est accrochée à moi. Un jour, armée d'un couteau, elle m'a contrainte à lui remettre toutes mes économies et ma maison pour « relancer sa vie ». Dans la lutte, elle m'a poignardée douze fois. Je suis morte, vidée de mon sang. Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux, ma sœur exigeait de nos parents qu'ils me marient à Cédric. Cette fois-ci, j'ai accepté avec joie — et j'ai abandonné mes études sur-le-champ.

We are leaving now! A woman screamed as she dragged her seven year old daughter by her hand. But mum, why. What's going on? The girl asked as she began to cry. What did you do? You exposed our secret and now they are coming for us. The FBI wants to use us as lab rats. Now get in there and pack. The woman said pushing her into her room. There was a knock on the door, starling the both of them. Keep quiet and don't make a sound. The mum whispered as she went to the door to look. Cj? It's me. I am here now. The boy said as he knocked again. Mum, it's Romeo. He's my friend. Cj said as she rushed to open the door. No, Cj don't. The mum screamed but it was too late. Three FBI agents surrounded the front door as they pointed their guns at her. Romeo was being held roughly by one of the officers. Hands up in the air, where we can see them. One of the officers said at Cj and her mom. Romeo? How could you? Cj asked as she began to cry. Not another word from you. The female agent said as she went to handcuff her. Nooooo! The mum screamed as the house shattered pushing the officers away back three feet. Romeo held on to Cj for support so he didn't fall. Cj! Run! The mum screamed as a gunshot was heard and she fell to the ground. Mum! Cj screamed as she watched her mum, bleed out on the floor. With a new profound anger she faced Romeo and placed her hand on his head, prepared to kill him but she was shot by the hand. So she was interrupted, Romeo slumped to the floor unconscious and Cj took off, into the forest never to be seen again.
