Fake Ai

Married to Enzo for three years, his heart had always belonged to his childhood sweetheart, Bianca. The cut of the family business that was rightfully mine became her jewelry, and the keepsakes my brother Luca left behind were casually gifted to her by Enzo. I gave him everything, yet I remained invisible. I chose to step aside, turn my back, and vanish from his world completely. After that, the cold-hearted man lost control. He tore Little Italy apart looking for me, begging me to return. But this time, I’m never going back.

There was a fire in my house. After I risked my life to save my parents, who were the richest people in the country, multiple media outlets wanted to interview me. Faced with the journalists' questions, my parents said that they would fulfill any of my wishes. Their adopted daughter, Lily Jackson, thought that I would use this chance to drive her away, and her eyes had begun to turn red. But I just looked at the camera and said coldly, "I want to sever all ties with the Jackson family, and I want all of you to be witnesses of my decision." The crowd went into an uproar. My parents were infuriated. The journalists wanted to ask some more questions, but I just started packing my luggage. Only I was aware that I was reborn. During my previous life, I took the chance of this interview to drive Lily out of the family. Not long after she was taken away by her biological parents, they sold her to a man, and she died a terrible death within her husband's house. My parents pretended like they didn't care and said to me that it was Lily's fate, but in truth, they secretly started poisoning my food. After the poison killed me, they placed my body in front of Lily's grave in a position as if I was on my knees and apologizing to her. They made me pay for Lily's death with my life. "If you hadn't driven Lily away, Lily wouldn't have met such a terrible fate! You should pay for what happened to her with your life!" That was the last thing I heard, and I became completely disappointed with them. But when I opened my eyes again, I realized I was reborn and went back to the day of the fire.

After a venomous snake bites me, my husband, Daniel Dawson, injects the only antivenom into my adopted sister, Grace Winton. Before I black out, I see my parents, Daniel, and my son, Ethan Dawson, all gathered around Grace, while I lie alone on the grass, completely ignored. When I come to, my colleague shakes his head and tells me the toxin has already spread. Within 48 hours, my body will begin to rot from the inside, and I'll die in unbearable pain. I give up the conservative plan and swallow a potent painkiller instead. Over the next two days, I transfer the hospital my grandfather gave me and every asset in my name to Grace. I divorce Daniel and place both his and Ethan's hands into Grace's. When I put Grace's name on the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis treatment protocol I've spent five years developing, they finally smile, hold my hand, and tell me we're finally a real family. I stay silent and only smile at them. I wonder what their faces will look like two days later when they see my body.

After the 100th failed fertility treatment, my husband, who had been previously diagnosed with a low sperm count, spoke coldly. “Lucy is very fertile. She gets pregnant after our first time, unlike you. You just can’t conceive.” Lucy was my adoptive sister. While holding her hand, he laid out three options for me. I could either ignore their affair and retain my title as the CEO’s wife, take the ten million dollars and disappear, or walk away with nothing at all. The whole town knew how proud I was. They also knew how deeply I loved him. They surely expected me to be mad with jealousy and choose honor over compromise. But I neither cried nor made a scene. I calmly slid the check back across the table. “The child will call me Mom. I’ll stay and be Mrs. Carter.” After all, this was my third time to live such a life. The first time, I chose to leave with nothing but my dignity. The second time, I took the money, but had to live in shame. Both decisions ended in tragedy. For the third time, perhaps three of us could just... make it work.

Mon Alpha, Lucas, avait aimé Isabelle en premier, ma propre demi-sœur. C'était le jour de mon anniversaire que je les ai vus s'embrasser passionnément, Lucas qui n'avait jamais voulu me toucher en sept ans, et Isabelle qui venait juste de revenir. Alors j'ai compris : son cœur n'avait jamais changé. De retour à la maison, j'ai demandé à mon fils Enzo : « Si je romps le lien de couple avec ton père, tu choisiras qui ? » Sa réponse m'a transpercée : « Si tu disparaissais, Isabelle pourrait devenir ma vraie maman ! » Ainsi, non seulement mon compagnon, mais tout ce que j'étais avait été volé par Isabelle. Mais ceux qui m'abandonnent si facilement ne méritaient pas mes larmes. J'ai fait ma valise et ai quitté la meute pour toujours. Pourtant... à ma grande surprise, Lucas et Enzo sont devenus fous pour me chercher...

Ava : Il y a neuf ans, j'ai commis une terrible erreur. Ce n'était pas l'un de mes meilleurs moments, mais j'ai vu une opportunité de conquérir l'homme que j'aimais depuis ma jeunesse et je l'ai saisie. Des années plus tard, je suis fatiguée de vivre dans un mariage sans amour. Je veux nous libérer tous les deux d'un mariage qui n'aurait jamais dû avoir lieu. On dit que si vous aimez quelque chose... il était temps de le laisser partir. Je sais qu'il ne m'aimera jamais et que je ne serai jamais son choix. Son cœur appartiendra toujours à Elle et, malgré mes péchés, je mérite d'être aimée. Rowan : Il y a neuf ans, j'étais tellement amoureux que je ne voyais plus clairement. J'ai tout gâché en faisant la pire erreur de ma vie et, dans le processus, j'ai perdu l'amour de ma vie. Je savais que je devais assumer mes responsabilités et c'est ce que j'ai fait, avec une femme que je ne désirais pas. Avec la mauvaise femme. Aujourd'hui, elle a de nouveau bouleversé ma vie en demandant le divorce. Pour compliquer encore les choses, l'amour de ma vie est de retour en ville. Maintenant, la seule question est : qui est la bonne personne ? Est-ce la fille dont je suis tombé éperdument amoureux il y a des années ? Ou est-ce mon ex-femme, la femme que je n'ai jamais désirée mais que j'ai dû épouser ?

Après que ma sœur a perdu la raison, les fiançailles avec la famille des Thomas sont tombées sur moi. J'ai épousé avec joie le garçon de mes rêves, mais j'ai passé seule la nuit de noces, et je suis devenue la risée de tout Paris. Plus tard, j'ai découvert le secret de ma sœur et elle m'a renversée en voiture, puis abandonnée morte dans un endroit désert. Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux, je suis retournée au jour de l'échange des fiançailles. Alex Thomas a serré dans ses bras ma sœur devenue folle et a embrassé ses doigts. « Isabelle Lepont, peu importe ce que tu deviens, tu restes la femme que j'aime toujours. » Je me suis retournée sans hésiter et j'ai accepté la demande en mariage de Mathis Laurent, le PDG stérile. Mais Alex a éclaté en sanglots et m'a suppliée de revenir.

In the final seven days after I decided to depart for good, I transformed into the daughter my family had always dreamed of. I conceded to Remy's every whim, never to fight or deny her. When she wanted to use my work for a contest, I deferred. When she wanted me out in the frost and howling wind, I did just that. My quiet compliance led my family to think that I had learned the error of my ways. "You've finally accepted that you owe Remy so much, and that you have to compensate her!" Even until the end, they never understood why I couldn't care less. "Fiona, why aren't you saying anything?" To that, I could only smile. "Isn't this what you've always wanted?"

Ako ang tunay na anak ng pamilya Stone. Gamit ang gossip-tracking system ko, nagkunwari akong mahinhin at masunuring tao, pero sa loob-loob ko, matindi ako gumanti sa tamang oras. Ang hindi ko napansin ay may nakakarinig sa isip ko. “Kahit na anak ka naming tunay, si Alicia lang ang tunay naming tinatanggap. Kailangan mo matututong lumugar,” sambit ng mga kapatid ko. ‘Iniisip ko na baka sinira ko ang usapan namin ng demonyo sa nakaraan kong buhay kaya ako napuntas a pamilya Stone ngayon, naisip ko. Tumigil bigla ang mga kapatid ko sa paglalakad. “Si Alice ay masunurin, may sense kausap at mahal ng lahat sa pamilyang ito. Huwag ka magsimula ng drama para lang magpapansin.” Hindi ko mapigilan isipin, ‘Kung ganoon, may sapat ang sense niya para sirain ang buhay ng lahat at mahal na mahal kayo sa puntong nakakasuka na.’ Natanga ang ekspresyon ng mga magkakapatid.

Victoria died with hatred in her heart—slaughtered by the very family she once trusted, her inheritance stolen, her daughter condemned to a cruel fate, and her name dragged through the dirt. In her final moments, she made a vow… If she ever had another chance, she would destroy them all. When she opens her eyes again, Victoria finds herself ten years in the past—back to the moment where everything first went wrong. Back to the house that broke her. Back to the people who ruined her life. But this time, she isn’t the naïve, obedient girl they once controlled.
