My mother-in-law is extremely frugal. She reuses paper others have discarded, carefully saving the unmarked portions. She even takes the black waste oil from the kitchen range hood and uses it to cook our meals. She says, "Frugality is a virtue—it brings blessings!" I try tirelessly to convince her otherwise, throwing out all her filthy items to protect my family's health. But while she praises me to my face, behind my back, she uses my baby's food scissors to clip her grimy toenails. My child eventually dies of a lung infection, leaving me heartbroken. My mother-in-law, however, points her finger at me, saying I'm unlucky and that I've brought misfortune to their family. Even my husband blames me. In the end, they use a knitting needle to pierce my throat and stab me to death. When I open my eyes again, I find myself back on the day I first see her picking up dirty paper. The first thing I do is hide all the high-quality tissue paper I had stocked up on before my pregnancy, pretending I knew nothing. She calls these blessings, right? Fine. The blessings of this miserly frugality—she can reap them all herself!

Aku dan suamiku, Samuel Yeris, bagaikan dua bintang di unit luka bakar, ketika terjadi kebakaran hutan di provinsi tetangga, dia yang baru saja menyelesaikan operasi beruntun dan aku tanpa ragu pergi menggantikan untuk menjadi sukarelawan. Namun, pada hari ketika aku kembali ke rumah sakit, gempa bumi terjadi, aku bergegas ke departemennya tanpa ragu, namun malah melihat adik seperguruanku meringkuk dalam pelukannya, hanya mengenakan jas lab putih. Aku berdiri di sana tertegun seperti tersambar petir, sementara dia menahan luka Clara Lindaw dan berteriak kepadaku, “Cepat kemari dan selamatkan dia! Apa kamu tidak akan menolongnya hanya karena masalah sepele seperti itu?” Tanganku gemetar tidak terkendali karena sakit hati, Clara menjerit kesakitan saat aku membalutnya. Tapi suamiku malah mengerutkan kening dan memarahiku, “Apa kamu jadi begitu tidak cekatan setelah menjalani kehidupan enak di provinsi tetangga selama enam bulan terakhir? Atau kamu sengaja melakukannya?” “Aku hanya bermain-main, untuk apa kamu berekspresi seperti ini?” Ibuku yang memiliki penyakit jantung masih sedang menungguku di rumah, aku tidak ingin berdebat. Namun, ketika aku akhirnya sampai di lantai 30, ibuku yang sangat aku rindukan sudah meninggal dunia.

Carmen wanted to meet the man who took away her innocence and broke her heart into pieces for the last time and move on with her life as there was nothing left in between them but when she returned he trapped her without her knowledge..... My heart was beating fiercely and painfully as I was beginning to shake, his closeness was so overwhelming. When he lay on the he had been somehow vulnerable. The powerful muscle strength of his lean body less obvious but now he was on his feet again and although he still looked very pale he was very strong. The tight black curls were no longer able to give a touch of appeal to his tired face. His physical mental arrogance saw that. His arrogance made me back away like a frightened animal. “You have no right me to ask me questions and I'm not answering them.” I flung at him. “Why did you lie to him? I am no longer your wife anymore it’s just in papers and I just came back to set you free so that we won’t bother each other again. I will tell him about it myself and clarify his misunderstanding. Marc smiled grimly. “I know you will not.” he said taking my arms in one hand, his fingers pressing down into my flash. “Don’t you ever forget Carmen that you are my Legal wife.”
