Jocelyn Flores' Death Note

Nach meiner Wiedergeburt ließ ich die Hexe meine Gefährtenbindung zu Wyatt Galloway auslöschen. Mit einem Zauber, der die Gefährtenbindung übertragen konnte, verpflanzte ich diese Verbindung auf seine Adoptivschwester Jocelyn Latham. Von diesem Tag an würde er glauben, dass Jocelyn seine wahre Gefährtin sei. Noch bevor er etwas merkte, änderte ich den Namen auf der Einladung zur Gefährtenzeremonie. Das maßgeschneiderte, luxuriöse Kleid, das über ein halbes Jahr angefertigt worden war, überreichte ich Jocelyn mit beiden Händen. Wyatt und Jocelyn reisten in den Süden, um das Gebiet zu inspizieren. Im Namen des Alphas beanspruchte er den Platz der Rudels-Luna für Jocelyn und schrieb ihr ein Empfehlungsschreiben für die Emory-Universität in der Menschenwelt. Ich aber kehrte mich ab und begann mein Studium an der Harvard-Universität. In meinem früheren Leben hatten wir zwanzig Jahre zusammengelebt. Am Ende kniete er vor mir und flehte mich an, die Gefährtenmarkierung zu löschen, nur um nach dem Tod mit Jocelyn zusammen bestattet zu werden. Mit diesem neuen Leben werde ich nie wieder meine Zukunft für jemanden opfern. Dieses Mal werde ich an eine Spitzenuniversität gehen, mein eigener Stolz werden und mich nie wieder nach der Vergangenheit umschauen.

Three days after my death, Dominic Sharp receives a phone call asking him to identify my body. He has an arm wrapped around a woman's waist as he says indifferently, "I couldn't care less if she's dead. Call me once she's been cremated." My body is sent to the crematorium. After putting the ashes into an urn, an employee calls Dominic again. He clucks his tongue impatiently. "Alright, alright. I'll be there soon."

Lo que debía ser un viaje tranquilo con mi suegra se convirtió en una pesadilla. Tras llegar al hotel, fuimos juntas a la piscina del lugar a relajarnos. Sin embargo, una mujer elegantemente vestida se nos acercó, tapándose la nariz y con total desprecio nos dijo: —Este es un hotel de lujo, ¿cómo es posible que haya gente como ustedes aquí? No serán esas personas que se cuelan para usar la piscina, ¿verdad? ¡Es un asco compartir la piscina con ustedes! Me da miedo que nos contagien alguna enfermedad. Mi suegra y yo nos sentimos muy incómodas por sus palabras, pero aún así le respondí, indiferente: —La piscina del hotel es pública , todos los huéspedes pueden usarla. Si no te parece bien, construye una en tu casa. La mujer, furiosa, levantó las cejas y, gritando, dijo: —¿Te atreves a responderme? ¿Sabes quién es mi esposo? Este hotel es de él, y la suite más cara siempre ha sido mía. ¡Les ordeno que se larguen inmediatamente! Huelen a pobreza y han contaminado el agua. ¡Qué asco! Mi suegra y yo nos miramos y, al instante, pudimos ver el mismo desprecio en nuestros ojos. Este hotel es propiedad de Nicolás, ¿en qué momento se convirtió él en el esposo de esa mujer?

Three years after my death, Samuel Terrason came to visit my grave. When he saw the lilies blooming around it, his expression darkened. "What is this?" "If the stories are true, then these lilies mean she has found her partner in the afterlife." "Pull them out," Samuel said coldly. "Pull what out, sir?" "The lilies! All of them!" Then, Samuel bought the entire graveyard and ordered that every male be relocated. Yes, males. Even the dogs. "You're not seeing anyone else, even in death, Rachel!" he swore. "And if you try, I'll come find you when I'm dead, too! Not even death can separate us. Just wait for me!"

My parents died when I was ten years old, but a big shot in Jade City adopted me. It was rumored that Sean Graham was a cruel and violent man, but he doted on me for nearly ten years. He booked the advertising screens in the city to celebrate my birthday and promised to marry me when I got drunk and pestered him about it. I called him Uncle Sean at his request. Fear gripped me when I woke up in his bed every morning, but I kept it a secret. Yet one time, we accidentally slept with each other. I got pregnant with his child and wanted to keep it, but I knew I would not live for much longer. One day, I heard his conversation with a servant. “Clean up Zella’s room for Yulia.” “But Mr. Graham, Miss Cooper has been staying there for ten years. Didn’t you design it for her?” “No, I only let her stay there because Yulia had gone abroad.” I touched my belly as disappointment gripped me. It turned out that the man who had promised to provide me with a home as long as he lived wanted to drive me away.

After the cruise ship strikes a hidden reef, panicked passengers shove me and Kristen Langford into the sea. My boyfriend, Elijah Jensen, is the ship's captain, so he plunges into the water. But instead of saving me, he grabs Kristen and boards the last lifeboat. I thrash and cry for help, but he slaps my hand away. "You can swim. Stop pretending for attention!" Elijah snaps. "Kristen's body temperature is dropping. I have to get her to a hospital!" The waters around me are pitch-black, and his words feel like a death sentence. When the tracking bracelet I always wear is discovered inside a shark, Elijah dives alone into shark-infested waters, searching for three days and nights. In the end, the brilliant captain who once ruled the oceans can never sail again.

My husband's first love jumped to her death due to depression and landed right on me as I was passing by. I was rendered unconscious on the spot and subsequently rushed to the ICU. However, my orthopedic surgeon husband stayed by his first love's side to comfort her over her minor scratches. He even refused to sign my Critical Care Notification. "Whoever joined her charade can get lost along with her! Come to me when she's really dead!" he said. It wasn't until he received a death certificate that he realized in horror—the deceased's information was identical to mine.

In the fifth year after my death, my mate, Kade Irvin, comes to the shack that I used to live in once again. He's not here to visit me. The truth is, his new lover, Tiffany Hart's blood cancer has relapsed once again, so he desperately needs my bone marrow in order to extend her life. When he steps into the old and ruined room, he realizes that it's empty. "Nala, get out right now! My patience is limited, you know!" Upon hearing his bellows, the old she-wolf who lives next door, Patricia Howl, rushes over to him. "Are you looking for Nala? She died a long time ago." Kade has already blocked our mind-link. Of course, he's oblivious about how much pain and suffering I had to go through before my death. He just chuckles coldly in return. "Her bastard pup is still in my hands. As if she has the guts to die! Tell her that she'd better come to me before tomorrow if she still wants to see that bastard spawn of hers!" But Patricia sighs and shakes her head. "If you're talking about Nala's pup, that poor thing died a long time ago protecting his mother…"

My life was left behind in that church fire. When the flames broke out, Cersei lied to me and said Jaeren was still inside. I didn't hesitate. I rushed into the fire without a second thought, only to save my fiancé, Jaeren. Then Cersei shoved me into the flames. By the time Jaeren found us, he picked Cersei up and turned away. He never looked back at me. I was swallowed little by little by the smoke and fire. Later, I stumbled out of the fire alone, covered in soot from head to toe. Jaeren frowned, his face full of impatience. “I didn't take you out first, sure. But couldn't you just call yourself a cab?” “Be glad Cersei is unharmed. Even your death in that fire wouldn’t clear your fault.” He didn't know that I had already suffocated to death in the flames. The one who walked out of the ruins was nothing more than a body still breathing. I made a deal with the vampire in the church basement, trading away my love for Jaeren and every tear I had ever shed for him. In seven days, on the night of the full moon, I will open my eyes again in the dark as one of her kind. From then on, I will no longer be trapped by love. And I will never shed another tear for Jaeren.

After our company's IPO approval is granted, my boyfriend, Derek Calloway, finally agrees to publicize our relationship at the celebratory banquet. Derek and I have been in a relationship for seven years. For so long, he refuses to make our relationship official. He always cites the fact that office romance is forbidden in the company, and that he, as the CEO, should follow through as a prime example. On the night of the banquet, I wait for the news to be broken with bated breath and unadulterated delight. But when Derek stands on the stage, he chooses to utter the name of the new recruit who has just joined the company for two months—Jocelyn Grant. "It's all thanks to Jocelyn's contributions to the project that our company gets to go public. She's the MVP of our company." I just stand beneath the stage, completely stunned. For a moment, I don't know how to react. I'm the main person in charge of that project, and I'm the one who's contributed the most to that project. Not only have I stayed up countless nights working hard on it, but I also got hospitalized a few times because of it. Soon, I receive Derek's text message. "Jocelyn has just joined this line of work. She needs a project to help spruce her resume up. Just let her receive the credits this once. "We'll discuss more on publicizing our relationship in the future." I can only grip my phone so tightly that my fingertips go white. Finally, I key in one word. "Okay." Jocelyn can have the project. She can also have my position as the director. Heck, she's free to have Derek, my now ex-boyfriend. I'd like to see how these assholes can pass the subsequent trials without me.
