Global Warming Essay

I died on the day I won the Global Medical Doctorate Award. Fresh from celebrating the sixteenth birthday of my younger sister, my parents, brother, and my fiancé finally returned home, but it was three hours after my death. My family photos were beaming with happiness on social media, while I laid in the suffocating basement drenched in blood. Before I died, I had struggled to slide my tongue across my phone screen in a desperate attempt to call for help. My parents and brother had blocked my number. Only my fiancé answered my call. The moment his voice came through, he snapped, "Winona, Winnie's sixteenth birthday is important. Stop trying to hijack attention with your pathetic excuses. Enough with the theatrics!" It murdered my last spark of survival. In that electronic death rattle, my heart flatlined. The 100th time they chose her. The 100th time they abandoned me for her. But it was also the last time. They thought I had ran way to get their attention again, and that if they taught me a harsh lesson, I would come crawling back pathetically. But not this time. Because I didn't leave home. I had been lying in the basement of my house.

La vie d'Iris Ainsworth a basculé le jour où son nom s'est retrouvé associé à celui de Gabriel Wyndham, le dangereux et séduisant milliardaire. En quelques heures, leur aventure d'un soir est devenue une tempête médiatique. Pour protéger la réputation d'Iris et celle de la famille Wyndham, le grand-père de Gabriel les a obligés à se marier dans l'urgence. Pourtant, Gabriel aimait une autre femme, Delphine Winthrope, son amour d'enfance. Le mariage avec Iris n'était pour lui qu'un arrangement. Son cœur restait ailleurs. Iris se retrouvait enfermée dans une union sans affection, jugée et méprisée par la famille Wyndham, qui la considérait comme une tache sur leur héritage. Elle se battait pour tenir. Elle a essayé de sauver ce mariage, d'y croire encore. Mais avec le temps, elle s'est résignée, préférant investir dans sa carrière que poursuivre un amour qu'elle n'obtiendrait jamais. Elle aimait Gabriel sincèrement, mais cet amour n'a jamais été réciproque. Il lui donnait tout, son nom, sa fortune, sa protection, mais jamais son cœur. Pour lui, elle restait simplement une amie. Finalement, Iris a demandé le divorce. Mais Gabriel a refusé. Catégoriquement. Jamais il ne la laisserait partir. Lorsque des vérités longtemps cachées ont refait surface, Gabriel a commencé à voir Iris autrement. Pour la première fois, il ressentait pour elle des sentiments réels. Il a mis un terme à sa relation avec Delphine, celle que tout le monde imaginait déjà comme sa future épouse. Mais au moment même où l'amour commençait à naître entre eux, leurs ennemis se sont réveillés et le danger s'est refermé sur eux. Dans un univers de trahisons, de rivalités familiales et de secrets enfouis, Iris pouvait devenir la clé qui sauverait les Wyndham ou celle qui les ferait chuter à jamais. Une histoire de passion, de sacrifices, de blessures et de rédemption. Et tout commençait ici...

I gave my full support when my father decided to set aside $2.1 billion in trust funds for his three illegitimate kids. Things had been very different in my previous life. At the time, the company urgently needed capital for a new project, and I had convinced my father to postpone setting up the trusts. I never imagined the three of them would take it as an attempt to seize the family fortune for myself. Furious, they went street racing to vent their anger. The result was a fatal crash. The car was destroyed, and none of them survived. Under my leadership, the company continued to grow at an astonishing pace and eventually secured a place on the Fortune Global 500 list. Yet on the very day I received the title of Young Entrepreneur of the Year, my father got me drunk and ordered my limbs broken. As I lay there screaming in agony, I demanded to know why he was doing this to me. His reply was filled with venom as he crushed my fingers one after another. "If you hadn't been so greedy for the inheritance, Ethan and the others wouldn't have gone out to clear their heads. They never would have died in that crash." In the end, my father beat me to death. When my critically ill mother learned the truth, the shock took her life as well. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the very day my father decided to establish the trust.
