Guess I'll Just Die

Dad is famous for being a total simp over Mom in the elite society. Naturally, he views Callie Archer, the stepdaughter whom Mom has brought with her, as his own. But Callie is afflicted with a severe case of walking phobia. Her feet couldn't touch the ground at all. Only when she's stepping on my back can she roam around in the house freely. So, whenever Callie looks in a certain direction, Mom will press my head down and force me to crawl toward Callie to serve as her doormat. The doctor issues a warning to my family that my spine is severely contorted. So when Callie wants to admire the flowers in the yard while wearing a pair of spiked shoes again, I can't endure the pain anymore, so I shiver slightly out of instinct. Callie ends up losing her balance and falling to the ground. She bawls like a baby afterward. Mom rushes over immediately before kicking me in the gut, her high heel lodging into my flesh. "It's extremely rare for Callie to be willing to leave the house! Why must you ruin her mood? Can't you just be more understanding and play your role as a doormat for the sake of your sister's illness?" Meanwhile, Dad scoops Callie into his arms, his heart bleeding for her plight. He coaxes her gently, telling her that he'll buy her new dresses later. I can only curl up on the ground while hacking up blood. But Dad just thinks I'm playing the pity card. He commands his men to throw me into the basement. Apparently, I can only be released once I've learned to stay stationary when I'm supporting Callie. As I clutch my broken ribs, I feel my tears flowing down my face as well as the blood from my injuries. I'm sorry, Dad. Next time, I will definitely not move a muscle, just like a corpse.

Kurz vor meiner Entbindung fiel auf, dass in den Waffenbeständen der Familie Galante etwas ganz und gar nicht stimmte. Die Führung reagierte sofort. Also fiel die Wahl auf mich, Sophia Vitale, die Frau des Don, die in den Augen aller ohnehin nur untätig herumsaß. Ich hielt es für eine Routinekontrolle. Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass Monica Leone, die Patenschwester meines Mannes, das als Vorwand nutzen würde, um das gesamte Waffenlager in die Luft zu jagen. Die Explosion war ohrenbetäubend. Flammen schossen in den Himmel. Überall um mich herum brach Beton zusammen und begrub meinen Körper unter sich, während ein brennender Schmerz durch meinen Unterleib riss. Ich rief meinen Mann nicht über seine private Leitung mit höchster Priorität an. Stattdessen schickte ich meinem Vater ein Notsignal. In meinem vorherigen Leben hatte ich im Moment der Explosion genau diese Leitung benutzt, um meinen Mann anzurufen. Mein Kind hatte überlebt. Monica war in der Explosion zerfetzt worden. Mein Mann hatte behauptet, er würde mir keine Schuld geben. Er hatte zwar gesagt, Monica sei eine Außenstehende gewesen und ein Erbe sei wichtiger. Er hatte keine Kosten gescheut und die besten Geburtshelfer engagiert, um mich Tag und Nacht überwachen zu lassen. Er hatte mir gesagt, ich solle ruhig bleiben und auf die Entbindung warten. Doch an dem Tag, als die Wehen einsetzten, sperrte er mich und mein Baby eigenhändig in ein verlassenes Lagerhaus, das mit Benzin getränkt war, und verbrannte uns bei lebendigem Leib. „Wenn du nicht absichtlich Zeit geschunden hättest, wäre sie nicht gestorben! Glaubst du wirklich, du könntest mich täuschen, indem du das unschuldige Opfer spielst? Träum weiter!“ „Du spielst doch so gern mit dem Feuer. Gut. Dann lasse ich dich ihre Verzweiflung selbst erleben.“ Als ich die Augen wieder öffnete, war ich zurück im Waffenlager. Zurück in genau dem Moment der Explosion.

In the VIP lounge of an underground casino, Maeve, the Falcone family's princess, had been plied with too much hard liquor. Fueled by alcohol, someone goaded her into revealing the most shameless thing she'd ever done to win over the Don. She swirled her glass, pointed at me dealing cards behind the table, and threw her head back with a laugh. "Seven years ago, when Declan was in a coma after a shootout, I took his private phone. And I deleted the distress message that bitch sent him. Every last trace of it. Then I replied in his name: You're a burden. Go die." "You'll never guess what happened next. That idiot stood outside the safe house all night in a downpour, like a stray dog. I almost died laughing…" The room erupted in crude laughter. Only the man enthroned at the head of the table remained silent. The crystal whiskey glass in his hand shattered with a sharp crack. Blood mixed with the amber liquor, trickling over the veins on the back of his hand before dripping onto the carpet. His murderous, bloodshot eyes were locked on me. I calmly dealt the last hole card in front of him and offered a clean, white silk handkerchief. "Don Declan, you should wipe your hand. Blood on the felt is bad luck." After all, some stains never wash out.

Ich war seit drei Jahren mit dem besten Freund meines Bruders, Emilio Slater, zusammen, aber er war nie bereit, unsere Beziehung öffentlich zu machen. Trotzdem habe ich nie an seiner Liebe zu mir gezweifelt. Schließlich war er vor mir mit 99 Frauen zusammen, doch wegen mir hörte er auf, sich für irgendwen sonst zu interessieren. Selbst wenn ich nur leicht erkältet war, ließ er milliardenschwere Projekte stehen und eilte nach Hause, um sich um mich zu kümmern. Doch an meinem Geburtstag, als ich voller Vorfreude dabei war, Emilio von meiner Schwangerschaft zu erzählen, vergaß er zum ersten Mal meinen Geburtstag und verschwand spurlos. Die Haushälterin sagte mir, er sei zum Flughafen gefahren, um jemanden Wichtiges abzuholen. Ich hetzte dorthin und sah ihn mit Blumen in der Hand, das Gesicht voller nervöser Erwartung, wie er auf eine Frau wartete – eine, die mir erschreckend ähnlich sah. Später erzählte mir mein Bruder, sie sei Emilios erste Liebe, die eine, die er nie vergessen könne. Wegen ihr stellte Emilio sich gegen seine Eltern, und als sie ihn verließ, brach er völlig zusammen. Danach suchte er 99 Frauen, die ihr ähnelten, um die Leere zu füllen. Mein Bruder sprach voller Bewunderung über Emilios tiefe Hingabe, ohne zu ahnen, dass ich nur eine dieser Ersatzfiguren war. Ich beobachtete Emilio und seine erste Liebe lange, sehr lange. Dann ging ich ohne zu zögern zurück ins Krankenhaus. „Herr Doktor, ich will dieses Kind nicht mehr.“

My mother is gravely ill and needs a million dollars for surgery. I run all over the city, desperately trying to borrow the money. Just when I'm at my breaking point, my childhood friend shows up, holding a check for one million dollars. His condition? He wants to marry me. Everyone's waiting for me to say yes, but I calmly refuse. Because in my last life, even after I married him, my mother still died. Her surgery failed. Later, I accidentally overhear a conversation between him and a doctor. "Christopher, you sabotaged the surgery just to transplant Alice's mom's kidney into Jennifer? Was it worth it? If Alice finds out, you’re done." "I just want Jennifer to live. And honestly, marrying someone like Alice? My life is already over." That's when I realize our entire marriage was nothing but a carefully woven lie. He did it all for the woman he truly loved.
