At the contract-signing meeting, a major client casually asks our new technician if she can handle her alcohol. She immediately pours a glass of red wine over his head and says coolly, "This sort of socializing is a bad habit. I'm putting an end to it." Leon Langley, a top client who brings the company 300 million dollars in annual revenue, flies into a rage and tears up the contract on the spot. As the project lead, I bend over backward to apologize and drink with Mr. Langley until I'm hospitalized with gastric bleeding—just to salvage the deal. When I report the incident to my boss, he scolds me instead. "As the person in charge, you nearly ruined the project. Forget the three-million-dollar commission we planned to give you. Consider this a warning." After that, I put Hannah Storrie's name on the department's downsizing review list. She sneers. "I'm a top talent the boss poached at great expense. I'm not some cheap hostess who survives by smiling and drinking like you. "Firing me would be throwing the company down the drain. When that happens, you'll be begging me to come back." I ignore her. However, when the review period ends, the name on the layoff list turns out to be mine. My boss seizes the opportunity to announce that Hannah will replace me as the new sales director. "Clients are extremely important to us. You don't seriously think you're capable of landing them, do you? "Hannah's is more qualified, more tech-savvy, and prettier than you. She's clearly the better choice." I simply smile, turn around, and dial a number.

Pain. That was all I remembered after I lost my mom to a sudden death. I was seven when that happened. And after that, my father took over the house and the company, and married a week later to my mom's best friend, while stating it was for my own good. The world turned their backs on me, calling me trash and a jinx. But that wasn't the worst thing I had to endure. My father drugged and sold me as a replacement for the debts he could not repay. In return, I got stuck in the hands of a ruthless disfigured man, who always hid his face behind a mask. “I'll never let you go, Georgina. You're mine, and the sooner you accept that, the better”.

It's been 8 years, and I finally returned to the city that broke me. But this time, I didn't return the same way I had left. I didn't return as the docile fool.

Everyone, she is my daughter”. “My wife, I have finally found you. Return home with me”. They tried to control me again. How sick and irritating. Did they think I was the old Georgina they knew? They are wrong. The old Georgina had died, and this new Georgina had returned to make them pay. I will reclaim everything they took away. The company, the house. Including restoring my mother's honor! I'm Georgina, and you are welcome to my story…

A 99ª vez que meu noivo, Draven, desligou na minha cara, eu me arrastei até a igreja da família, com meu diagnóstico de doença renal terminal agarrado na mão. — Padre, desejo renunciar à família Rocci e romper meu noivado com Draven Frost. As palavras mal haviam saído dos meus lábios quando meus pais irromperam ali com minha irmã adotiva, Bianca. Meu pai, o consigliere da família, não hesitou. Ele me deu um tapa no rosto, ali mesmo, na frente do padre. — Seu noivo é um capo respeitado no nosso mundo, e você escolhe insultá-lo assim! — Você está arrastando o nome da nossa família pela lama diante de toda a organização! Minha mãe arrancou o diagnóstico da minha mão, zombando após um breve olhar. — Fingindo estar doente para chamar atenção de novo, é isso? O que você quer desta vez? Minha irmã adotiva, Bianca, segurou nos braços deles, sua voz embargando com lágrimas. — Desculpa, irmã. Você pode ficar no meu lugar no baile. Por favor, só pare de causar problemas para a mamãe e o papai! Eu limpei o sangue que escorria do meu nariz e repeti calmamente minhas palavras ao padre. — Eu não sou mais uma filha da família Rocci. Não sou digna de uma aliança com os Frost. — Estarei morta em três dias. Quero que este noivado seja rompido antes disso.

Só quando viram o último menino no abrigo ser empurrado contra a parede por um zumbi — e ter as entranhas arrancadas vivas para serem devoradas — é que os homens finalmente quebraram. — Capitão! O senhor não disse que sua esposa tinha enlouquecido de medo e estava delirando, e que era pra gente ficar tranquila protegendo o senhor e a Melissa enquanto vocês viam o nascer do sol no topo da montanha? — Como a gente volta e meu filho — que nem completou um mês de vida — não sobrou nem o corpo inteiro?! O rosto de Henrique Valença estava pálido como papel. Eu olhei para aquele horror, com o coração em faca. Na minha vida anterior, quando os zumbis invadiram o abrigo, Henrique — capitão da guarda — levou todos os soldados para acompanhar sua amada de infância ver o nascer do sol no aniversário dela. Fui eu quem gritou até a voz rasgar chamando todos de volta — e só assim consegui salvar as nossas vidas. Mas Melissa, furiosa por não ter visto o nascer do sol, saiu sozinha da zona segura por pura birra. Os zumbis a arrastaram e a devoraram até não restar nada. Henrique matou todos os zumbis, ajoelhou-se com os únicos ossos que restaram de Melissa nos braços, e não disse uma palavra. No dia em que dei à luz nosso filho, ele cortou meus braços e pernas com as próprias mãos, e me jogou no meio de uma horda de zumbis errantes. Ficou me olhando nos olhos enquanto eles arrancavam minha carne — e depois me resgatava, me curava. Ciclo após ciclo. Até o último pedaço de mim ser arrancado antes de eu morrer. — Foi você, sua víbora, que a matou de propósito! Já que você gostava tanto de se comparar a ela, vou fazer você morrer de um jeito muito pior! Quando abriu os olhos de novo... Luna estava de volta. De volta ao dia em que os zumbis cercaram a cidade.

No dia em que sofri um aborto espontâneo e uma hemorragia grave, meu marido postou no Instagram Stories a foto dos pezinhos de um recém-nascido. Legenda: "Bem-vindo, meu anjinho. O papai sempre vai te proteger." Com as mãos trêmulas, liguei para ele: — Perdi o bebê... Você pode vir ao hospital? Do outro lado da linha, o choro de um bebê se misturava à voz impaciente dele: — Nesse caso, cuide-se. A Isabela acabou de dar à luz e precisa de mim. Não posso sair. — E já que o seu morreu, não tente disputar atenção com quem está vivo, entendeu? Ele desligou abruptamente. Sozinha na cama do hospital, desabei em prantos. Depois de enxugar as lágrimas, disquei o número de Lucas Soares, o arquirrival dele. — Case comigo. Todo o Grupo Lima será seu. Só quero que você derrube o Felipe Moreira. Aceita?
