Gloria Modern Family

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?”

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.

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.

In my past life, I toiled away at the Lincoln family and treated my in-laws like they were a king and a queen. I also gave my stepson the best education possible and helped him get into a renowned college. Yet, I later ended up dead on the street. My stepson said, "You're not my mother. You'll never be her!" He breaks my legs, kicks me out of the house, and watches as I starve to death. It's only after my death that I find out he's the illegitimate son of my husband and his true love! When I open my eyes again, I'm back to the day my husband, Simon Lincoln, brings my stepson home.

I was a washed-up singer, but my wife forced me to attend a divorce variety show. I tried my best to earn money for the family, but on the show, she said that I was worthless. She even got to know the son of an affluent family. She called the guy babe and went to his room whilst wearing seductive clothes. I couldn't stand it anymore and tried to stop her, but she cursed, "You're just a useless piece of garbage! You can't even afford to buy me a decent bag. I thought your earnings would improve over the years, but your earnings are still nowhere near enough. Why can't I pursue the happiness I want? Get out of my sight!"

Justin Davidson and Eva Walker, the long-lost heiress of the Walker family, fell in love. But Eva's adopted sister, Stella, drove a wedge between them. Even after Stella’s death, Justin couldn’t let go of her. He trampled Eva’s dignity, hurt her body, and forced her to wear Stella’s wedding dress and ring when he proposed. Eva’s parents only had eyes for Stella, too. To pressure Eva further, Justin even went so far as to hurt Eva's grandmother, the one who had raised her. On the day of the wedding rehearsal, Eva finally decided to walk away. However, when the truth came out, Justin dropped to his knees and begged her not to leave.

My sister and I got into a car crash. My heart was ruptured, and I needed immediate surgery if I were to live. My mother, being the director of her hospital, sent all the doctors to my sister instead, all just to check on her. She barely got hurt. I pleaded and begged for my mother to save me, but impatience got the better of her. She roared, "This isn't the time to take any attention away from your sister! She almost had a bone fracture!" And I died. I remember where it was. It was a freezing operating theater.

I was the top engineer at the National Deep-Sea Institute—and the only person in the world with real deep-sea rescue experience. When my younger brother's submarine went down and he called for help from 30,000 feet below, I hung up on him. Then, calm and unhurried, I went straight to the police station and turned myself in for leaking classified research data. A few minutes later, my father called, furious. "Your brother's life is hanging by a thread—where the hell are you?! I demand you to get to the site and save him right now, or you won't see a single penny of the family fortune!" I pulled the blanket over myself and said into the phone, perfectly composed, "Busy. Don't bother me—I'm trying to sleep."

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.
