Gloria Modern Family

Half a year after our divorce, my ex-husband became a trending topic online. His current wife, who had just given birth, jumped off a building. When she jumped, she was clutching a printed, 98-page copy of the "Cloves Family Code of Conduct." The reason for her suicide? She couldn’t buy discounted groceries online. A reporter came to interview me and asked, "Excuse me, were you also given the same family rules?"

Jacob et Gloria se connaissent depuis l'université, mais, bien que Jacob soit secrètement amoureux d’elle, Gloria ne le considère que comme un ami. Des années plus tard, devenu avocat accompli, Jacob décide de lui avouer ses sentiments lors d’un dîner : "Gloria, je t'ai toujours aimée." Gloria le rejette brutalement, arguant qu’il ne correspond pas à ses critères physiques. Dévasté, Jacob finit par accepter et se rapproche de Charlotte, la sœur cadette de Gloria. Ils développent une relation solide et heureuse, tandis que Gloria épouse Samson, un homme séduisant mais violent. Lorsque son mariage tourne au cauchemar, Gloria, piégée dans une relation toxique, se confie en larmes à Charlotte. Réalisant son erreur, elle finit par quitter Samson et revient vers Jacob, le suppliant de lui donner une nouvelle chance. "Je me suis trompée. C’est toi que j’aime", lui dit-elle, bouleversée. Jacob se retrouve face à un choix déchirant : quitter Charlotte, la femme qui l’a soutenu sans condition, ou renouer avec Gloria, son amour de jeunesse. Charlotte, consciente de la situation, refuse de perdre Jacob sans se battre. Pris dans ce triangle amoureux complexe, Jacob doit choisir entre son passé et son présent. Lequel de ces deux amours triomphera ?

If it was my sister being bullied, Mom and Dad would have believed her right away and fought for her without a second thought. However, it did not matter anymore. In my next life, I would pick parents who really cared about me.

Five years ago, my brother's fiancée died because of me. Five years later, I'm burned to a crisp and laid out on his autopsy table.

My mother was the best portrait artist in the police station. She had a strong sense of justice and brooked no evil. However, all I got was a sharp retort when I called her to save me. "You know it's your sister's coming-of-age celebration today, and you're cursing her? Kidnapped, are you? Fine, the kidnappers can kill you for all I care." She assumed it was a prank call. So, she refused to go to the police station and do her job. I wasn't saved in time and was tortured to death. When the DNA report came out, she came to the scene all wobbly. She drew a portrait of me with my bones as reference, her hand trembling all the way. "Jessica? It can't be her. This is a mistake!" She tried again and again. Yet, it didn't matter how many times she redid it as the portrait showed my face. My mother, who had hated me my whole life, teared up.

Being the only daughter of the Calhoun family, a mafia family in Merovia, I am doted on like a princess. This changes when I turn 18, when Mom dies. On the way back from a family meeting, the car blows up, and Mom shields me beneath her. Even as she lies in a pool of blood, her gaze is tender as she says to me, "Don't blame yourself, sweetheart. I love you." Still, after Mom's death, everyone in the family starts blaming me for what happened, including Dad and my older brother, William Calhoun. I go from being the princess of the family to the jinx that everyone hates. Soon after that, Dad brings home a new adopted daughter, Juliet Calhoun. William favors her and detests me. Even my childhood sweetheart, Shawn Kramer, takes a liking to her and ignores me. Dad says his new adopted daughter is way better than his biological one. They all agree to attend my college graduation ceremony. But on the day, they end up taking Juliet onto our family's yacht and holding a cocktail party out on the water to celebrate the official addition of a new family heir. This is the 100th time they ditch me for her. Unable to stop myself from an emotional breakdown, I cry out, "I'm the one who's related to you by blood!" Dad shields Juliet, who backs away from me out of fear. Then, he slaps me on the face. "I wish I'd never had you." "Who wants to have a younger sister like you? I wish you'd died with Mom!" William roars in contempt. This time, I've decided to let it all go. I call Aunt Marissa, Mom's sister. She's the founder and a therapist at MindCare Treatment Center. "Come here. This is your home now." I know that Mom's death was a conspiracy. This isn't just me leaving, but withdrawing myself from the family entirely. I hope that the next time I meet the Calhouns, there won't be tears on my end. Instead, judgment will befall them.

I struggle with all my might, but Dad restrains me, and Mom breaks my limbs. Then, my sister seals me into the concrete. "Concrete is only brought to life with an actual person sealed inside. It looks so much more defined! It's not like you'll die after being sealed in there for a few days. How can you be so insensible?" The pain of having my limbs broken and my oxygen being cut off leads to me dying within that block of concrete. My body rots and festers inside, but my soul sticks around to watch how my parents dote on their adoptive child. They seem to be happy without me. Finally, I lose all hope in them. But when the liquid from my body seeps out of the concrete, they all lose their minds.

Of all the pups in the clan, my parents only loved my brother and sister, but not me. When the fire broke in the pack, they hurried into the flames to save their pups, but only took my brother and sister. Left behind, I suffered facial burns and my wolf grew extremely weak. From then on, I lost interest in fighting for their love. Whoever wanted them, could have them. After all, I was already dying. But I did not anticipate their regret. They held my thin frail body and begged: “Could you throw a little tantrum at us again… just once more?”

Ich erhielt ein pornografisches Video. „Gefällt dir das?“ Der Mann, der im Video sprach, war mein Ehemann Mark, den ich seit mehreren Monaten nicht gesehen hatte. Er war nackt, sein Hemd und seine Hose lagen verstreut am Boden. Er stieß heftig in eine Frau, deren Gesicht ich nicht sehen konnte. Ihre vollen, runden Brüste wackelten heftig. Ich hörte deutlich die klatschenden Geräusche im Video, vermischt mit lustvollen Stöhnen und Grunzen. „Ja, ja, nimm mich hart, Baby!“, schrie die Frau ekstatisch zurück. „Du böses Mädchen!“ Mark stand auf und drehte sie um, klatschte ihr dabei auf den Hintern. „Streck deinen Arsch hoch!“ Die Frau kicherte, drehte sich um, wiegte ihren Hintern und kniete sich aufs Bett. Mir war, als hätte mir jemand einen Eimer Eiswasser über den Kopf geschüttet. Es war schlimm genug, dass mein Ehemann eine Affäre hatte, aber noch schlimmer war, dass die andere Frau meine eigene Schwester Bella war. *** „Ich will die Scheidung, Mark“, wiederholte ich für den Fall, dass er mich beim ersten Mal nicht gehört hatte – auch wenn ich wusste, dass er mich deutlich verstanden hatte. Er starrte mich mit gerunzelter Stirn an, bevor er kalt antwortete: „Du hast darüber nicht zu entscheiden! Ich bin sehr beschäftigt, verschwende nicht meine Zeit mit solchen langweiligen Themen oder dem Versuch, meine Aufmerksamkeit zu erregen!“ Das Letzte, was ich tun würde, wäre zu streiten oder zu zanken. „Ich werde den Anwalt die Scheidungsvereinbarung schicken lassen“, sagte ich nur, so ruhig ich konnte. Er sagte danach kein weiteres Wort und ging einfach durch die Tür, vor der er gestanden hatte, und schlug sie heftig hinter sich zu. Mein Blick verweilte etwas geistesabwesend auf dem Türknauf, bevor ich den Ehering von meinem Finger zog und ihn auf den Tisch legte.
