My younger brother had stage four kidney cancer. Our parents demanded that I donate a kidney to save him. I told them I only had one kidney left. The transplant would kill me. Instead of listening to me, they forcibly strapped me to the operating table. “It’s just one kidney! Stop being so selfish!” they yelled. They did not care that I was telling the truth. Years ago, I had given my other kidney to save my father after his car crash.

"I've transferred the three hundred-dollar rent to you. Thanks, Samuel." A contact named Misty has sent my husband, Samuel Tucker, a message on WhatsApp. I snatch his phone immediately, only to be stunned by what I see. "Rent? Samuel, you told me that this is the income you earn from your part-time job!" Samuel's expression freezes on his face. Then, he tries to snatch his phone back. "Darling, my brother has already passed away. It's difficult for Misty to raise two children on her own…" As I caress my tiny baby bump with a hand, I feel my heart sinking at his words. "Which residence is this rent for?" Samuel parts his lips hesitantly. A long time later, he finally tells me the residential area's name. I'm completely flabbergasted at that point. The luxurious apartment sitting in that particular area is an asset that my deceased parents have left for me. Also, the rent there is worth 10,000 dollars. Yet, Samuel has rented it out to my widowed sister-in-law, Misty Patterson, and her children for only 300 dollars!

Era la prometida de Ian Chávez, conocido como el "Príncipe Cisne", ofreció su posición de Primer Bailarín para casarse conmigo. Él, tan arrogante y solitario, sin embargo, ofreció la más absoluta sumisión en el escenario a mi coreografía de "La Corona Eterna". Tres años de estudio en París después, a mi regreso, descubrí que esa bailarina suplente, cuya espalda se parecía a la mía, ya se había adueñado de nuestro salón de ensayos privado. En la fiesta de bienvenida, Ian abandonó a los patrocinadores para correr detrás de la suplente, que lloraba. Tras el terciopelo del telón, escuché las palabras tiernas que nunca me había dirigido a mí: —Yamina, al principio te elegí porque eras su sombra, solo buscaba un sustituto. —Pero eres tan diferente, tu coreografía me embriaga, incluso más que la suya. —Solo asegurémonos de que ella no lo sepa antes de la función de despedida de “La Corona Eterna”. Desde el salón de ensayos llegaron gemidos sofocados y esa frase: —Te daré incluso mi posición de Primer Bailarín. Y justo allí, donde él una vez tomó mis manos y juró que Yo, Estrella López, sería su única alma gemela para toda la vida. Di la vuelta y me fui. De vuelta en el camerino y llamé al Sr. Díaz, su mayor rival. —Director Díaz, acepto el contrato para cambiar de compañía. Y por favor, prepáreme un regalo. Que la función de despedida de Ian se convierta en el mayor escándalo que el mundo del arte haya visto.

SPG | Mature Content | R18 Nang magising si Leighana ay katabi na niya sa iisang kama ang isang estrangherong lalaki. Ngunit ang mas nakapagpa-hindik sa kanya ay ang malamang pareho silang hubad sa ilalim ng iisang kumot, ang isang kamay nito ay nakadantay sa isang dibdib niya habang ang mukha ay nakasiksik sa leeg niya. Kahit nananakit ang buong katawan ay pinilit niyang makaalis sa lugar na iyon ng walang ingay. Kasabay ang piping panalangin na huwag na sanang magtagpo ang landas nila ng estrangherong pinagkalooban niya ng isang bagay na kay tagal niyang iningatan. Ngunit sadyang mapagbiro ang tadhana.

“Noo!!! This can't be happening!!” I screamed silently, my eyes shut tight, praying that the nightmare would dissipate when I opened them. But the cruel reality remained.

Mi suegra fue secuestrada, pero mi esposo, que tiene influencia tanto en el mundo legal como criminal, llevó a todos sus secuaces a celebrar el cumpleaños del perro de su amor platónico. Los secuestradores dijeron que si no veían a mi esposo en persona, matarían a la rehén, pero yo no hice caso. Esto fue porque en mi vida anterior, estando embarazada de ocho meses, saqué a mi esposo de la fiesta de cumpleaños por fuerza y salvamos a mi suegra. Su amor platónico nos siguió a escondidas, pero fue descubierta por los informantes de los secuestradores. Ellos la violaron, e incluso la descuartizaron y la dieron de comer a los perros. Mi esposo, tan enfurecido, mató a tiros a esos secuestradores y desapareció por un mes entero. Cuando regresó, nunca volvió a mencionar el asunto. Hasta que di a luz a nuestro hijo, yo estaba llena de felicidad. Pero mi esposo me arrojó, débil como estaba, al bosque, dejando que las bestias salvajes me mordieran hasta morir, devorándome sin dejar ni los huesos. —¿Tú envidiabas a Mía, incluso sobornaste a los secuestradores para matarla? No mereces obtener la felicidad que le pertenecería a Mía. Al abrir los ojos de nuevo, volví al día en que mi suegra fue secuestrada.
