James March

I'm the top salesperson at a tutoring center. Payday comes, and my commission is 50 cents. I'm so furious that I march straight to my boss to demand answers, but his secretary, Sasha Watson, steps in front of me. She digs through her pocket, pulls out 50 cents, and flicks it straight at my face in front of everyone. "Here's your 50 cents!" My ears ring. Heat crawls up my neck and into my skull. "Ms. Watson, this has to be a mistake. I closed 1.5 million dollars on my own last month. My team pulls in over three million dollars. My commission should be at least 200 grand." Sasha rolls her eyes. She reaches into her wallet, pulls out a dollar bill, and slaps it against my cheek. "Stop barking! Fine, I'll throw you a dollar. Keep the change!" I'm about to lose it. "My mom is still waiting on that 200 grand for her surgery. Without it, she could die." The coworkers around us start whispering. "50 cents? For the top salesperson? That's insane!" "Lower your voice. She's the boss's niece! What she says goes. Unless you want to get fired, pretend you didn't hear anything." I turn away, pull out my phone, and dial our biggest competitor. "I'm in. Five million dollars a year."

Cuando la exnovia de mi esposo sufrió quemaduras con agua hirviendo, él, para castigarme, me metió en una vaporera lo suficientemente grande para una persona y subió la temperatura al máximo. —¡Pagarás el daño que sufrió Luciana, multiplicado por mil! —sentenció. Atrapada en ese espacio estrecho, apenas podía respirar, mientras mi cuerpo ardía y yo le suplicaba entre lágrimas: —¡Por favor, voy a morir! Pero él, abrazando a su exnovia, se marchó sin mirar atrás. —Tranquila, no morirás. ¡Pero sí entenderás el sufrimiento de Luciana! Grité desesperada dentro de la vaporera mientras el agua hirviendo, debajo de la bandeja, me salpicaba la piel. Poco a poco, mi voz se fue apagando. Él se fue de viaje al extranjero con su exnovia, y, solo una semana después, al regresar al país, recordó mi existencia. —Esa maldita ya debe haber aprendido su lección. ¡Sáquenla de ahí! Lo que él no sabía era que en aquella vaporera, que había dejado calentarse cuando el agua se evaporó, mi cadáver ya estaba cubierto de gusanos.

Dalawang taon matapos ang kaniyang perpektong kasal, akala ni Chloe Valdez ay natagpuan na niya ang lalaking mamahalin niya habambuhay. Pero isang papel ang tuluyang gumiba sa lahat ng iyon. The marriage certificate she once cherished… was fake. Gulat at sakit ang naramdaman ni Chloe, lalo na nang malamang ang lalaking minahal niya ng anim na taon, si James Alcantara, ay matagal na palang may ibang asawa.
