Game Over? Não Para Mim

Meu pai nos levou ao mercado negro para escolher um par de gêmeos como nossos guarda-costas. Minha mana escolheu primeiro o irmão mais velho, alto e forte, e me deixou com o caçula, o "mudo" que mal respirava. Com pena dele, acabei deixando que ficasse ao meu lado. Ele não falava, então eu o levava para procurar médicos e remédios. Ele tinha uma mania séria de limpeza, então eu mantinha distância. Eu achava que ele só tinha passado por algum trauma para ficar daquele jeito. Até que os inimigos do meu pai sequestraram a mim e à minha mana. E ele me largou para trás, escolhendo sem hesitar morrer bloqueando a bala pela minha mana. Antes de morrer, ele falou pela primeira vez, com os olhos vermelhos, olhando para ela: — Finalmente você pode me ver. E, para mim, ele disse: — Na próxima vida... por favor, não me escolha. Só então percebi que ele não era mudo, nem tinha mania de limpeza. Esse "mudo" e essa "mania" eram só para mim e mais ninguém. Quando abri os olhos de novo, voltei ao dia em que fomos escolher os guarda-costas. Desta vez, fiz exatamente como ele queria.

"Do you think you can?" he replied, his gaze piercing. He gently took my hand, the warmth of his touch contrasting sharply with the coldness of the IV drip that fed into my arm. "I would shoot a bullet into your head if..." I started, but before I could finish, he sealed my lips with a kiss—soft yet filled with an urgency that took my breath away. **** Zara Singh, an undercover assassin, receives a contract to seduce and eliminate Cassius DiMarco, the most feared Mafia king who is known for his ruthlessness.

Después de que muriera su primer amor, Sophia Hayes me odió durante diez años. Yo intenté recuperar su favor todos los días, pero ella solo me respondía con burlas frías. —Si de verdad quieres hacerme feliz, ¿por qué no te mueres de una vez? Sus palabras eran como dagas clavándose en mi corazón. Por eso, cuando murió en un charco de sangre al intentar salvarme de un camión que venía de frente, el impacto fue todavía mayor. Con la mirada fija en mí por última vez, susurró: —Si tan solo nunca te hubiera conocido... Su madre estaba destrozada por el dolor en el funeral. —Debí haber dejado que Sophia estuviera con Ethan Brooks. ¡Nunca debí obligarla a casarse contigo! Su padre también me miró con odio en los ojos. —Sophia te salvó la vida tres veces. Era una persona tan maravillosa... ¿Por qué no fuiste tú el que murió en su lugar? Todos lamentaban que Sophia se hubiera casado conmigo. Yo también. Me echaron del funeral, completamente destrozado. Tres años después, viajé de regreso al pasado después de que se inventara una máquina del tiempo. Esta vez, elegí cortar por completo todos mis lazos con Sophia y darles a todos la versión de la historia que de verdad deseaban.

Everyone said I was too possessive when it came to my girlfriend, Amanda Crane. When Amanda first started taking photos of her childhood friend, Ian Lewis, I ripped apart all the rolls of film. When she helped him fix his computer, I called her 100 times in an hour. And when he called her from the airport, asking her to pick him up because the rain made it impossible to get a cab, I held a knife to my throat. I told her I'd take my own life if she went to him. Fed up, Amanda shipped me off to a psychiatric hospital that same night. When I got out, I vanished. Amanda was certain I was hiding somewhere, spying on her and Ian, but I never showed up—until the celebration party for a business project three years later. Ian put his arm around Amanda and swirled the wine glass he was holding. He shot me a taunting look, remarking, "You used to get so jealous, Steven. I'm sure you no longer mind if Mandy and I drink from the same glass now, right?" He waited for me to go berserk the way I used to three years ago, but I simply moved the bottle of wine closer to them. "I don't mind at all, of course. Have as many glasses as you want. It's great to see that your relationship has been progressing so well." Amanda paused. Her eyes started to redden. She stared fixedly at me and questioned, "Why don't you feel jealous anymore, Steven?"

"R-Reed.... A-Anong ibig sabihin nito?" Halos manlambot ang tuhod niya sa nakita at nag-uunahan sa pagbagsak ang mga luha sa pisngi niya. Si Reed ay nakikipaghalikan sa isang babae at halos nalihis na ang soot nito pababa. Nakatalikod ang babae kaya hindi niya makita ang mukha. "Aliyah, Baby..." Naitulak ni Reed ang babae kaya nahulog ito sa sahig. "Ouch! What the h*ck!" Mura ng babae kay Reed. "Reed.... Ano? Magpaliwanag ka!" Sigaw niya habang nanginginig ang boses at punong-puno ng hinanakit ang mga mata na nakatitig rito. Tumayo ang babae at hinarap si Aliyah, "Well, well, well! Mabuti at nasampal na sayo ang katotohanan. Ilusyunada!" Bumaling ito kay Reed, "Babe, sabihin mo na sa kanya. Para hindi na tayo nagtatago." "Avery, get out now!" Kinaladkad ni Reed si Avery ngunit pumiglas ito. "Pwede ba Reed, magpakatotoo ka sa sarili mo. Alam kung ako pa rin ang mahal mo. I feel it, the way you kissed me." Inis na sigaw nito.
