Good Shounen Ai

Setiap hari berjalan seperti menaiki roller coster saat menghadapi Pak Bos yang gampang tantrum. Ada aja kesalahan yang bikin beliau marah-marah nggak jelas. Tapi anehnya itu cuma sama aku. Ada apa sih sebenarnya sama Pak Bos?

Lors de ma quatrième visite à l'hôpital pour vérifier si ma fécondation in-vitro avait réussi, j'ai vu Roland, qui était supposé être en déplacement, soutenir délicatement une jeune et jolie femme en sortant du service de gynécologie. Le ventre de cette femme était arrondi, visiblement sur le point d'accoucher. En me voyant, Roland a paniqué un instant, puis a protégé cette jeune femme derrière lui. « Cyrille, tu sais, ma famille a besoin d'un enfant pour perpétuer notre lignée... Cet enfant, il n'affectera pas notre relation », m'a-t-il dit, d'une voix pleine de conviction. J'ai saisi la fermeté dans sa voix et lui ai répondu en souriant : « D'accord. » Sous son regard surpris, j'ai discrètement rangé mon rapport médical. Le jour où cette femme a accouché, je lui ai laissé le contrat de divorce et l'ai quitté pour toujours.

My family was supposed to be the richest of the land, yet I had to refund even a cheap delivery. Why? In my previous life, my housekeeper's daughter got her hands on a trading system. Every cent of money I spent would be hers. She started trying to guilt-trip me into donating to all the impoverished students in her school. It was charity anyway, so I signed a check worth 300 grand. The moment I did, that money became part of her savings, and the amount on my check was zero. Everyone called me names, called me a charlatan. Even the boy toy I spent good money on broke up with me. That girl used my money to donate to charities and became the kind and beautiful heiress. She told everyone I was the housekeeper's daughter instead. Furious, I grabbed my black card and started shopping like crazy. I wanted to prove I was the real heiress, but the balance in my account was cleared immediately. That girl then spent 1.2 million right away, like it was one dollar. She scoffed at me. "Don't try to act like you're rich when you're a broke loser. Your mother doesn't make enough as a housekeeper." The Internet decided to hunt me down. I could not handle the stress, and my mind broke. For some reason, my body withered away at a blistering rate. Before my father could save me, I drew my last breath. When I opened my eyes again, I returned to that fateful day. The day the housekeeper's daughter made me donate to the school.

My wife—Nancy Valente—had been "missing" for three months after some fake skiing accident. I spotted her at a bar. She was draped over Finley Bennett's shoulder, laughing like she hadn't wrecked my life. "Good thing you came up with this plan. I almost forgot what freedom felt like." Her crew kept clinking glasses, asking when she planned to pop back up. She glanced down. "Maybe in a week. I'll show up once he's lost his mind." I stayed in the shadows, watching her bask in her little escape act. Then I grabbed my phone and called a buddy at the Vital Records Office.

Après ma renaissance, j'ai décidé de mettre fin à toute relation avec Jacques, mon compagnon de destin avec qui j'ai grandi. Quand il a organisé une fête à Hawaï pour tous les guérisseurs de la tribu, j'ai pris l'avion pour San Diego. Il a dit que mon odeur lui donnait la nausée, à lui et à son loup, alors j'ai immédiatement déménagé et dépensé 500 euros pour faire nettoyer la maison en profondeur. Il a exigé que je ne me présente plus jamais dans sa tribu. J'ai volontairement abandonné mon poste de guérisseuse privée de l'Alpha et suis partie travailler à temps partiel à la ville centrale pour subvenir à mes besoins. Enfin, il a dit que ma présence risquait de faire croire à sa bien-aimée petite demi-sœur qu'il éprouvait des sentiments pour moi. J'ai acquiescé, puis j'ai accepté la demande en mariage de l'Alpha de la ville centrale. J'ai accepté la dot et j'ai emménagé dans une villa d'une valeur de dix-huit millions d'euros. J'ai rejeté l'amour humble et obséquieux de ma vie précédente, et j'ai choisi de faire des transactions rationnelles et lucides. Après tout, dans ma vie précédente, j'avais tout sacrifié, ma fortune et ma vie, mais Jacques ne m'avait offert que trahison. Quand sa petite demi-sœur avait été empoisonnée, il m'avait traitée de meurtrière et m'avait condamnée à mourir sous la torture de la tribu pour crime. Cette fois, je comptais bien vivre ma vie. Et lorsque je tenais la main de l'Alpha lors de la fête de Pleine Lune, Jacques s'est soudainement dressé devant moi, les yeux injectés de sang. « Amina, reste avec moi, et je te pardonnerai ta décision incorrecte. » J'ai souri avec ironie : « Peux-tu te permettre la villa que mon Alpha m'a achetée ? »

On the company's designated monthly day off, Gigi Lott, Donald Hoover's secretary, posted an Instagram story. The caption read, "So what if you're the boss of me when we're at work during the day? At night, I'm the one on top!" In the photo, she was lying atop a water bed covered in rose petals, and the usually stern Donald was kneeling down to massage her feet for her. From his pocket hung a brand new golden necklace. Just that morning, I bought several gold bars and gave them to Donald while beseeching him to make our relationship public. He happily took the locket from me, but when I tried to take a photo of us with our phone, he smacked my phone out of my hands, smashing it into pieces. With a look of pure derision, he declared, "Why don't you take a good look at yourself in the mirror first? You really are a motherless wretch who wasn't raised right. Look at the lengths you'd go to just to ruin me!" Throughout the last five years, I had meekly gone along with his demand that we keep our relationship a secret, claiming it was because office romances were forbidden. But now, I was abruptly hit with the realization of how laughable it all was. The next day, I sent my father a message. "I admit defeat. I'm willing to come home and inherit the family business."

Lewis Gordon says he likes older women. Seeing that he's young, energetic, and good in bed, I agree to be his girlfriend. But when he runs into me with his friends while I'm dressed in business attire, he is stunned and doesn't know how to react. Then, he quickly introduces me. "She's just a neighbor like an auntie." What? Middle-aged? I immediately break up with him. He sends a clumsy explanation, "When you dress like a middle-aged woman, it's really embarrassing for me." I block him and don't bother replying. Five years later, I bring my son along to celebrate my husband's godfather's birthday. Lewis shows up, holding hands with his girlfriend. When he hears my son call Johann Tucker "Grandpa Johann," he pulls a long face. He blurts, "This is my son, right? He should be calling him great-grandfather." I shoot him a look of pure disgust. "He's not your son." Lewis points at my son's face and sneers, "Look at his eyes and his face. He looks exactly like me. How can you still insist he's not my son?" All I can think of is my extremely jealous husband. If he hears Lewis claiming that he's my son's father, will he go crazy and kill him?

After my son’s surgery, I stayed overnight at the hospital. While keeping watch, I scrolled through my phone and came across a post. [What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done?] An anonymous user replied. [I used the senior who sponsored me as a stepping stone.] [My sponsor was rich and clueless. He paid for my entire college education, and after I graduated, I slept with his wife. She even had my child.] [The best part is that he treats my son like his own. He works himself to exhaustion just to set that kid up for life.] [By the way, his family just received three million from the relocation compensation. My lover will be here soon. She’ll pretend we need it for a school district apartment and trick him into giving it to us.] [Once the cash is in hand and the villa is bought, I’ll have my son acknowledge me as his real father and then throw my sponsor out of the house.] A blurry photo of a little boy was attached. My heart skipped a beat. On his wrist was the safety charm I had given my son. Just then, my wife pushed open the hospital room door. “Honey, Xeno is starting elementary school soon. Let’s take your mom’s compensation money from the relocation and use it to buy a place in a good school district.”

I lucked out, securing a guaranteed admission spot at Westbridge University—the one the real heiress throws away. Nicole Stewart drops out for love and runs off with the school's bully, shattering what should've been her perfect life. Meanwhile, I'm branded a thief, accused of stealing her place. However, I fight my way up to become a powerhouse in business and even marry her childhood sweetheart, Spencer Lowe. Yet, at the peak of it all, I open my eyes to find myself back to graduation day of senior year, right when I'm filling out my choices of colleges. A live barrage of comments flashes before my eyes. "That fake heiress, Gloria Stewart, is nothing but a thief. She stole Nicole's life!" "In her last life, Nicole actually dropped out of school to start a business with some school bully. She even gave her childhood sweetheart, who was her fiance, to someone else! Ugh, she's so stupid and pathetic." "Good thing Nicole gets a second chance. This time, the real heiress has awakened, so let's just see how miserable that fake heiress who stole her life becomes!" I just smile at the scrolling insults. Sorry, but I carve my own path. Nicole can be reborn a hundred times, and she still can't stop me from rising to the top.

Le PDG milliardaire Killian Blackwood recherchait les gènes parfaits. Il offrait une récompense colossale pour une mère porteuse. Dix milliards d'euros pour un bébé. Mais les soixante-dix-sept femmes avant moi avaient toutes disparu. Noyée sous les dettes, je n'avais pas le choix. J'ai serré les dents et suis devenue la soixante-dix-huitième. J'ai porté son enfant pendant des mois. J'ai accouché. Et je n'ai pas disparu. Mais au moment où je tendais les bras vers mon bébé, prête à recevoir mes dix milliards, j'ai éclaté en sanglots de terreur. Mon bébé n'était pas humain. C'état une portée de trois louveteaux.
