Quando a data do meu parto estava se aproximando, descobriram uma grande inconsistência nos registros de armas da família Galante. Então, a liderança tomou uma rápida decisão: Eles decidiram enviar a mim, Sophia Vitale, a esposa do Don, a mulher que eles diziam não ter nada melhor para fazer, para inspecionar pessoalmente o arsenal e verificar o inventário. Eu pensei que fosse só uma checagem de rotina e jamais imaginei que a irmã de criação do meu marido, Monica Leone, fosse aproveitar a oportunidade para explodir todo o arsenal comigo dentro. A explosão foi ensurdecedora. O fogo rasgou o céu. O concreto desabou ao meu redor, esmagando meu corpo enquanto uma dor alucinante rasgava meu abdômen. Mas eu não liguei para o meu marido em sua linha privada de segurança máxima. Em vez disso, enviei um sinal de socorro ao meu pai. Na minha vida passada, no instante da explosão, eu resolvi ligar para a linha de prioridade e chamar o meu marido. Meu filho sobreviveu, mas Monica acabou sendo obliterada na explosão. Meu marido disse que não era minha culpa. Ele falou que Monica era alguém de fora e que seu herdeiro era mais importante. Não poupou despesas e contratou especialistas obstétricos para me monitorar dia e noite. Disse que eu deveria manter a calma e esperar pelo parto. Então, no dia em que entrei em trabalho de parto, ele pessoalmente nos trancou, eu e meu bebê, dentro de um galpão abandonado, encharcado de gasolina, e nos queimou vivos. — Se você não tivesse se atrasado de propósito, ela ainda estaria viva. Você realmente pensou que bancar a inocente iria me enganar? Nem sonhando — ele disse — Você gosta tanto de brincar com fogo, né? Muito bem. Vou deixar você sentir na pele o desespero que ela sentiu naquele dia. Quando abri meus olhos novamente, estava de volta ao arsenal, no exato momento da explosão.

Alexi Marie A. Cervantez is falling in love with her driver. The driver named Enrico P. Acosta secretly admired her since first day. There love is not easy because they hide it to the parents of the girl. Are they gonna fight their relationship or not?

My boyfriend has always doted on me. However, after learning that I can't go to work at the bank after falling and injuring myself, he snaps at me. "Why didn't you tell me you switched shifts with someone else? That was a cheap move!" I don't refute him. Instead, I pull out a hospitalization record as I watch the bank descend into chaos. In my past life, I attended to a couple who wanted to deposit five million dollars into their account. Their child had been diagnosed with a rare illness. They'd gotten the money by selling their organs and mortgaging the home—it was to save their child's life and pay for the surgery the following day. However, the money was stolen the following day. I helped them check where the money was withdrawn, but the surveillance footage showed I was the one who did it. My best friend wept when the couple questioned me. "You shouldn't have stolen the money someone needed to save a life, no matter how materialistic and covetous you are!" My boyfriend hurried over and said, "I wondered why you suddenly had money to buy a car—you stole it! You're heartless!" The child died after failing to receive treatment in time, and the couple stabbed me to death on the streets out of devastation. When I open my eyes again, I think injuring myself will help me escape this. To my surprise, the surveillance cameras once again capture me stealing the money.

My husband's childhood sweetheart needed surgery, and he insisted that I be the one to operate on her. I followed every medical protocol, doing everything I could to save her. However, after she was discharged, she accused me of medical malpractice and claimed I’d left her permanently disabled. I turned to my husband, hoping he’d speak up for me, but he curtly said, “I told you not to act recklessly. Now look what’s happened.” To my shock, the hospital surveillance footage also showed that I hadn’t followed the correct surgical procedure. I couldn’t defend myself. In the end, I was stabbed to death by her super-alpha husband. Even as I died, I still couldn’t understand—how did the footage show my surgical steps were wrong? When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day Joanna was admitted for testing.

During a kindergarten parent-teacher conference, a rich wife accuses me of stealing her bag. I'm baffled. I bought the bag myself abroad, and it even has my name etched on it. However, when I scrutinize the bag, I discover that my name is missing. I call my husband, and he impatiently says, "I gave your bag to Jen. She's fresh out of college and needs an expensive bag to make herself look good. Even Finn said the bag is too young for you—it suits Jen more. You're too old for these things. You should be glad to even have a fake one." I bark out an exasperated laugh. I can go without having a husband, but the bag has to be returned to me.

Meu companheiro, Luther Evans, gastou 20 mil dólares em duas passagens de primeira classe no Moonlight Express para a Costa de Vespera. No momento em que estávamos prestes a embarcar, ele me puxou de lado e deu o meu lugar para minha irmã adotiva, Zoey Turner. Ele explicou: — Só restou um assento vazio no trem, e o filho da Zoey nunca viu o oceano antes. Esta é a oportunidade perfeita. Crianças não podem ser separadas de suas mães, então eu vou levá-los primeiro e deixá-los acomodados, depois volto para buscar você. Eu concordei e desci do trem, observando-o desaparecer à distância. Assim que chegaram à praia, um amigo perguntou a Luther por que eu não tinha ido junto. Ele estava ocupado inflando uma boia de piscina para Zoey, respondendo casualmente sem levantar os olhos. — Moonlight Express passa a cada três dias. Avery Smith pode simplesmente comprar sua própria passagem e vir mais tarde. Vou comprar alguns presentes para compensá-la. Ela é muito compreensiva e não vai ficar brava comigo por muito tempo. Um sorriso amargo surgiu nos cantos da minha boca. A família inteira sempre favoreceu Zoey, e agora até meu próprio companheiro não era diferente. Como ninguém queria me ver de qualquer forma, decidi que iria embora em três dias.
