Hitori No Shita: The Outcast

Colter Giordano, mi prometido desde hace seis años, heredero de la familia Giordano, recibió una bala por una bailarina llamada Mia. No la recibió por mí. Una bala me atravesó el hombro. La sangre, caliente y pegajosa, me manchó el vestido. Pero mi corazón dolía más. Me preguntó si estaba bien. Solo una vez. Luego se apresuró a llevar a Mia al hospital, dejándome sangrando en el suelo. Al día siguiente, la foto de Mia apareció en mi feed de Instagram. Ahí estaba ella, en una suite de lujo del hospital. Colter se estaba desviviendo por un rasguño en su brazo que apenas se notaba. El pie de foto era de solo dos palabras: [Mi Héroe.] Le di me gusta a la publicación. Luego hice una llamada encriptada. —La oferta de la familia Falcone —dije—. La acepto. Consígueme un avión a Sicilia. Tres días.

By a twist of fate, my husband, Morgan Lancaster, and I perish together in a sea of flames. When I open my eyes again, I find myself back on the very day we received our marriage certificate. In my previous life, we appeared to be a loving couple in the eyes of others, yet Morgan refused to share a bedroom with me the entire time we were married. It was only moments before our deaths that I discovered I was merely a substitute for his first love and that he had chosen to remain chaste for her for life. After getting another chance at life, neither of us mentions the past. Instead, by mutual understanding, we file for divorce that same day. From that point on, we go our separate ways. Eight years later, Morgan shows up arm in arm with his childhood sweetheart, Freya Springer, at a business summit. He is now a prominent and celebrated rising star in the business world. Seeing me dressed in a plain outfit, he approaches with a glass of champagne. His tone drips with mockery as he asks, "Ms. Smith, even if you still have feelings for me, there's no need to dress like a waitress just to get close to me. You aren't hoping for a reconciliation, are you?" I say nothing and simply smile as I wave at someone in the distance. My son, Theo Coltrane, toddles over and tugs at the hem of my shirt. "Mommy, Daddy says that he's tired from waiting so long. When are you coming home with us?" The smile on Morgan's face freezes instantly, and he nearly loses his grip on the glass in his hand.

The day I fail to get into university, my childhood sweetheart breaks off our engagement. Then he delivers the next blow. He's marrying my best friend, Katherine Schaffer, who actually got into a university. They've even already registered their marriage. Crushed by the double betrayal, I leave home to clear my head, only to fall into the hands of human traffickers. Katherine's stepbrother, Dominic Frizzell, spends his entire fortune rescuing me. Even after I lose a hand, he proposes. After we marry, he spoils me in every way. Sometimes it feels like he practically worships me. That goes on for seven years, until one day, I overhear my mother-in-law lecturing him. "You abducted Valerie and cut off her hand just so Katherine could take her place at the university. And to make sure Valerie couldn't get revenge, you even married her. You've done more than enough for Katherine." Dominic's voice holds a quiet melancholy. "It's still not enough. Kat always deserves the best." I freeze behind the door, stunned by the truth. It turns out that all the suffering and every supposed act of salvation were simply Dominic using me.

Mi hermano menor y yo sufrimos un accidente. A mí se me reventó el corazón y necesitaba cirugía urgente. Pero mi mamá, que fue la directora del hospital, reunió a todos los doctores en la habitación de mi hermano para hacerle un chequeo completo, a pesar de que solo tenía rasguños menores. Le supliqué a mi mamá que me salvara, pero ella, con fastidio, me gritó: —¿No puedes dejar de competir por atención por una vez? ¡¿Acaso no entiendes que tu hermano casi se lesiona el hueso?! Al final, morí solo, en un rincón donde nadie me encontró. Pero cuando se enteró de mi muerte, mi mamá, quien más me odiaba, enloqueció.

The owner of a small company gives me an expensive bag as a gift because I want to invest in his company, yet his wife mistakes me for a homewrecker. She and her entourage crash my engagement party and trash the place. "All homewreckers need to go to hell!" "Shameless women will always be shameless. Strip her so everyone online can see what she looks like!" "Share the livestream and like it, everyone! We'll disfigure her once we hit 500 thousand likes!" Not only does my fiancé refuse to help, but he even announces that the engagement is off. "A homewrecker doesn't deserve to marry me!" I repeatedly warn them not to act rashly, but they ignore me. So, I give them each a swift punch to the gut before stepping on the perpetrator's face. Then, I call my secretary. "Tell Mr. Lane that I'm pulling out of the investment. Also, call the police and my lawyer. I've been robbed and insulted in public—I want the culprits to go to jail for this!" My fiancé regrets everything and asks me for a reconciliation, but I kick him aside. "Get lost! I'm not dumpster!"

No dia do casamento, Afonso entrou tarde no salão, de braço dado com sua primeira paixão, vestindo o traje de padrinho. O terno do noivo? Jogado de qualquer jeito no sofá, num claro sinal de desordem. — Afonso, hoje não é o nosso casamento... — Júlia. — Ele interrompeu, com uma voz fria, cheia de aviso enquanto olhava para mim firme. — Você sabe muito bem o que pode e o que não pode dizer. Seja madura, não me faça te odiar. Só pude soltar um sorriso amargo. Tudo isso aconteceu porque a primeira paixão de Afonso perdeu a memória. Desde então, todos ao redor entraram nesse teatro coletivo para ajudá-la a recuperar as lembranças. Ninguém podia permitir que ela se sentisse perturbada. Para manter a paz, Afonso até tentou me consolar, aproximando-se para um abraço e murmurando ao meu ouvido: — Juju, você entende meu lado, certo? Acenei em silêncio, e fui capaz de me desprender de tudo ao segurar a mão do verdadeiro padrinho e seguir de cabeça erguida rumo ao altar. No entanto, mais tarde, enquanto eu, grávida, fazia compras no shopping, Afonso apareceu diante de mim, com os olhos cheios de lágrimas. — Juju, não estávamos apenas atuando todo esse tempo? Como você pôde engravidar?

Could my day get any worse? From getting harassed by a pervert on the bus this morning, to spilling food on customers and getting my pay docked, to catching my bestfriend screwing my girlfriend and then getting into an accident that dumped me in this goddamn place where we play deadly games just to survive. They call it The Erevos. Ten zones, impossible rules, and players who’ll kill to stay alive. Every second here is a fight, every choice could be your last. And the worst part? The bastard running this system is the same man who ordered the hit at the bar the one who sent men to beat me senseless. Now, the game isn’t just about surviving. It’s about finding my lifeline, earning a second chance, and making every single bastard who put me here pay. Do I have what it takes to survive this nightmare? Or will this be the place I finally die?
