A 99ª vez que meu noivo, Draven, desligou na minha cara, eu me arrastei até a igreja da família, com meu diagnóstico de doença renal terminal agarrado na mão. — Padre, desejo renunciar à família Rocci e romper meu noivado com Draven Frost. As palavras mal haviam saído dos meus lábios quando meus pais irromperam ali com minha irmã adotiva, Bianca. Meu pai, o consigliere da família, não hesitou. Ele me deu um tapa no rosto, ali mesmo, na frente do padre. — Seu noivo é um capo respeitado no nosso mundo, e você escolhe insultá-lo assim! — Você está arrastando o nome da nossa família pela lama diante de toda a organização! Minha mãe arrancou o diagnóstico da minha mão, zombando após um breve olhar. — Fingindo estar doente para chamar atenção de novo, é isso? O que você quer desta vez? Minha irmã adotiva, Bianca, segurou nos braços deles, sua voz embargando com lágrimas. — Desculpa, irmã. Você pode ficar no meu lugar no baile. Por favor, só pare de causar problemas para a mamãe e o papai! Eu limpei o sangue que escorria do meu nariz e repeti calmamente minhas palavras ao padre. — Eu não sou mais uma filha da família Rocci. Não sou digna de uma aliança com os Frost. — Estarei morta em três dias. Quero que este noivado seja rompido antes disso.

Um terremoto atingiu um país estrangeiro, e eu e minha sogra ficamos presas lá juntas. A equipe de resgate soube que o jatinho particular do meu marido estava por perto e pediu que eu o contatasse para nos ajudar. Mas eu apenas balancei a cabeça e recusei. Numa outra realidade, eu liguei desesperadamente para ele. Meu marido veio e salvou a mim e à minha sogra. Porém, por causa disso a paixão secreta dele, num ataque de birra, saiu para se divertir, e acabou sendo brutalmente violentada até a morte. Diante da sogra, meu marido disse friamente que aquela mulher era promíscua, e que a morte dela tinha sido um alívio. Mas, no dia do aniversário da morte dela, ele me torturou e me matou da mesma forma. — Eu sei que tudo isso foi parte do seu plano. Você vai pagar pela vida da Ju! — Disse ele. Depois do ocorrido, eu voltei no tempo, e agora tudo mudou. Desta vez, meu marido levou sua amada no jatinho particular para admirar as luzes da cidade à noite. Porém, ao descobrir o que aconteceu comigo e com a sogra, ele enlouqueceu.

En mi vida anterior, nadie me amaba excepto mi Alfa, Grayson. Mis padres y hermanos me trataban como un banco de esencia de lobo para mi hermana Victoria. Pero Grayson recordaba que le tenía miedo a la oscuridad y, discretamente, dejaba una luz nocturna encendida después de mis transfusiones de esencia; guardó en su corazón mi comentario casual de que quería encontrar un lugar tranquilo para pintar y, como si nada, me dio cinco mil millones para comprar mi bosque favorito. Cuando le confesé mis sentimientos, aunque se quedó atónito, aceptó mi declaración y prometió que formalizaríamos nuestra unión. Dios sabe lo feliz que fui en ese momento; resulta que mi amor era correspondido. Solo cuando estaba a punto de morir comprendí que su amabilidad hacia mí estaba condicionada a que continuara donando esencia de lobo a Victoria. Tras renacer, lo primero que hice fue gastar cinco mil millones para comprar un bosque aislado. —Ember, ¿está segura de que quiere adquirir este bosque? Si se muda ahí, quedará casi incomunicada del mundo exterior. Asentí, con un tono de alivio en la voz. —Eso es exactamente lo que quiero: un lugar donde nadie pueda encontrarme. Pero cuando me fui de verdad, ¿por qué mi familia y Grayson perdieron la cabeza y me suplicaron que regresara?

Mi hermano menor y yo sufrimos un accidente. A mí se me reventó el corazón y necesitaba cirugía urgente. Pero mi mamá, que fue la directora del hospital, reunió a todos los doctores en la habitación de mi hermano para hacerle un chequeo completo, a pesar de que solo tenía rasguños menores. Le supliqué a mi mamá que me salvara, pero ella, con fastidio, me gritó: —¿No puedes dejar de competir por atención por una vez? ¡¿Acaso no entiendes que tu hermano casi se lesiona el hueso?! Al final, morí solo, en un rincón donde nadie me encontró. Pero cuando se enteró de mi muerte, mi mamá, quien más me odiaba, enloqueció.

Morí el día de mi cumpleaños, pero ni mis papás ni mi esposo se dieron cuenta. Todos estaban de lleno en los preparativos de la fiesta de cumpleaños de mi hermana gemela, Alicia Gonzáles. Mientras todos la rodeaban para escoger su vestido de gala, a mí me habían amarrado de pies y manos y me habían arrojado al sótano. Con las últimas fuerzas que me quedaban y con los dedos ya torcidos, logré marcar el 9395, la señal que Sergio Sandarti y yo habíamos acordado para pedir ayuda en caso de peligro. Nunca imaginé que llegaría el día de tener que usarla de verdad. Pero Sergio no me creyó. Respondió con frialdad: “¿De verdad haces tanto drama nada más porque no te llevamos a comprar un vestido nuevo? El del año pasado todavía te queda bien. Nos vemos más tarde en la fiesta, deja de hacer escándalo”. Él no sabía que mi vestido ya lo había destrozado Alicia. Tampoco sabía que, en cuanto colgué la llamada, yo ya estaba muerta. Así que no asistí a la fiesta de cumpleaños. Pero cuando todos vieron el regalo que yo había preparado con anticipación para Alicia, se volvieron locos.

"If it's destiny... I would rather choose to die... than to not have you love me back." ........... "Why him...?", Anna shook Mia's shoulder. "It only has to be him.", Mia firmly replied. "Are you aware of what you are doing...? Are you sure what you are throwing yourself into...?", Anna shouted. "I'm willing though.", her words left her lips. ................. "Now...are you still willing...?", Anna questioned. "I...I...though I can make him love me...for the whole 3 years...h...he...", Mia's voice trembled as she couldn't speak anymore. "Mia...you are not that helpless 20 years girl anymore...you have right to choose your happiness...leave that damn family of yours too...I will be your family.", Anna hugged her. ................ "Why do you want a divorce now...?", He was still the same...unbothered. His handsome face and heavenly features just remained as distant as he was before. His hair was combed perfectly taking her breath to see the view in front of her...but her heart was broken beyond to admire the view in front. Memories jolted her... Been 3 years...never once he cared for her...but on their wedding anniversary...he came back late...as she was waiting for him like she always did...but before she could realize...He scooped her in his arms as she walked upstairs to the bedroom she never dared to enter. The butler and his wife were left speechless seeing what just happened. Upstairs. He pinned her to the door, he stared at the sparkling eyes that stared at him...her beautiful fairy face was in shock. His throat felt dry...as his right thumb moved recklessly on her trembling lips. He gulped down the saliva after a sigh...he leaned towards her as his lips touched her collarbone... which made her tremble... ..........
