"Bayi ini adalah anakku. Dan, kau adalah wanita yang sudah mengandung darah dagingku." Rosen Green langsung mempererat dekapannya pada sosok kecil Jassie, dalam gendongannya. Kepeningan di kepala menghantam Rosen semakin besar saja. Bahkan, membuatnya tak bisa berpikir. "Miss Rosen, apa kau tidak ingat kita pernah tidur bersama? Walau hanya satu malam?" Rosen segera mengangguk. "Aku masih ingat, walau aku lupa kapan tepatnya." "Tapi, sungguh. Aku tidak pernah mengandung seorang bayi. Aku belum hamil sama sekali." "Bagaimana bisa aku punya anak darimu?" Rosen melengkingkan suara karena rasa terkejutnya sendiri. "Aku yakin kau bukan orang gila, Mr. Ryder." "Bayi ini diletakkan di depan pintu rumahku, bukan aku yang melahirkannya. Aku juga tidak per--" "Kau bebas mengelak sekarang, Miss Rosen. Aku tidak akan memaksamu mengakui jika bayi ini adalah anakku, kalau kau merasa berat." "Aku akan tetap bertanggung jawab atas bayiku. Bagaimana pun juga, dia akan menjadi pewaris utama bisnis-bisnisku." "Sebagai ibu dari bayiku, kau akan mendapatkan bagian juga, Miss Rosen. Asalkan kau mau sepakat membesarkan bayi kita bersama-sama." Rosen kembali terkejut. "Kau akan mengajakku menikah?" Dilontarkan kesimpulannya.

My husband's first love had been trapped in a car for an hour. After they pulled her out, his rage shifted onto me. “It’s your fault she got hurt,” he spat, his eyes blazing as he grabbed me. Before I could make sense of what was happening, he forced me into a wooden box, slamming the lid down with a deafening crack. “You’re going to feel every ounce of the pain she went through,” he hissed, nailing it shut. I pounded on the walls, my screams tearing through the air. “Please, I didn’t do anything! Let me out!” My throat burned with the effort, my fists aching, but nothing stopped him. “Stay in there until you’ve figured out how to act like a decent human being,” he said, his voice cold, dripping with contempt. Hours passed. My body twisted unnaturally in the tight space, bones throbbing as blood smeared the wood beneath me. I whispered into the dark, the pain unbearable. "Please… just let me out…" But he didn’t care. A week later, he returned, his laughter echoing with hers as they entered the house, carefree from their trip. He finally opened the box. But by then, I was already gone. The woman he locked away was no longer breathing, no longer pleading. Just a cold, silent corpse.

My boyfriend insists on hiking up a snow-covered mountain to see a waterfall. That very day, I fall from the peak. When I regain consciousness, I've lost my memories and broken a leg. Even my boyfriend has become my brother-in-law. Everyone turns their backs on me, but my psychologist, Quinton Scott, comforts and guides me. One day, he gets on one knee before me with a bouquet and a diamond ring in hand. He proposes as the medical personnel watch, and I weep with joy. Half a year after our marriage, I hear his friend say, "Looks like your hypnosis has gone well for the past year, Quinton. Speaking of which, you've already helped Winnie get what she wants. Why bother marrying Jennifer?" "Did you think I wanted to? I was afraid she'd suddenly regain her memories and try to hurt Winnie. It's easier for me to watch her like this." "Is it worth going to such lengths for Winnie? You cleaned up so many of her messes, and you're now using Jennifer for that…" "I'll do anything as long as Winnie is happy." Quinton stubs out his cigarette. After a long silence, he says, "Besides, I'm just borrowing Jennifer's womb. I'm putting trash to good use!"

I plan a family trip at my mother Lucia Sweeney's request. While avoiding the danger zones, my sister Linda Harper and I are ambushed by rogues. To protect her, I throw myself in the path of their claws and get driven into a silver mine. As I fall, my back is slashed open to the bone, and shards of silver embed deep into my right leg. The searing silver poison spreads quickly, burning through me and my wolf. My wolf is whimpering—she's close to death. However, as the pack's chief healer, Mom gathers all the healers around Linda to give her a full check-up over a few minor scrapes. I sob and beg her to save me first. "Mom, the poison has almost reached my heart. I can't hold on anymore." She turns around impatiently and yells, "Are you seriously still fighting with Linda now? Do you have any idea how close she came to getting clawed in the face by a silver claw? Our pack doesn't have a wolf as heartless as you!" And in that moment, I hear my wolf's final whimper, saying goodbye. I finally fall asleep in the cold wind, never waking up again.

In the year 2020, the world faced Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2, and took several years to slowly recover from its immense effect.

Would they be able to accomplish this mission if, in the next few hours, the world would have what they called Zombie Apocalypse?
