At that exact moment, it hit me—I was never even a side character in this novel. I was just a pitiful nobody, not even worth a name in the story. In the original plot, I’d loved the wrong guy for six whole years, only to end up betrayed, locked away, and left to die a horrible death in the red-light district. But now, I’d woken up. I knew how the story was supposed to go, and I was never gonna follow that damned script to my inevitable end. To escape and get back at everyone who’d hurt me, who’d betrayed me, I set my sights on a man no one dared to mess with—my boyfriend’s adoptive father, Alexander Knight, the famous “Ice Tycoon” of the upper class. This alpha was cold, ruthless, and known for his unbreakable self-discipline. I’d planned to get close to him, seduce him—even sell my body if I had to—just to get his protection and run from the fate I’d suffered in my past life. But I never could’ve guessed that the second I stepped into his world, everything would start to spiral out of control. Caught between revenge, desire, and a destiny that was supposed to be set in stone, I had to make a choice: walk away before everything fell apart, or risk it all to take a role that was never meant for me. When fate stopped playing favorites, not everyone could handle losing their spot as the hero.

No dia em que Lorena Rochas e Isaac Cunha completavam cinco anos de casados, o primeiro amor de Isaac voltou para o Brasil. Naquela mesma noite, Lorena descobriu que Isaac, trancado no banheiro, murmurava o nome do primeiro amor enquanto se masturbava com a própria mão. Foi assim que Lorena entendeu qual tinha sido, durante cinco anos, o verdadeiro motivo de Isaac nunca ter tocado nela. Isaac disse: — Lorena, a Aurora voltou sozinha, ela está sem ninguém aqui, eu só estou ajudando como amigo. Ela respondeu: — Eu entendi. Isaac explicou: — Lorena, eu prometi para a Aurora que eu ia com ela para a ilha comemorar o aniversário dela. Eu só estou cumprindo uma promessa antiga. Ela disse: — Tá bom. Isaac continuou: — Lorena, para esse jantar eu preciso de uma assistente à altura. A Aurora é mais adequada do que você. Ela apenas murmurou: — Uhum, vão vocês dois. Quando Lorena parou de se irritar, parou de chorar e parou de discutir, foi Isaac quem começou a estranhar e perguntou: — Lorena, por que você não fica com raiva? Lorena, claro, já não ficava mais com raiva, porque ela também estava de partida. Lorena, que já estava cansada havia muito tempo daquele casamento morto, começou, em silêncio, a estudar inglês, a prestar todo tipo de prova e a enviar candidaturas para programas de estudos no exterior. No dia em que o visto dela finalmente saiu, Lorena colocou o acordo de divórcio na frente dele. Isaac riu, sem acreditar: — Para de graça. Sem mim, como é que você vai sobreviver? Lorena virou as costas, comprou a passagem e voou para a Europa. A partir daquele dia, ela desapareceu sem deixar rastro. A próxima vez que Isaac viu notícias sobre ela, foi em um vídeo que tinha explodido nas redes: Lorena, vestida com um traje tradicional brasileiro, dançava uma coreografia típica do Brasil no céu de um país estrangeiro. O vídeo viralizou no mundo inteiro. Isaac cerrou os dentes e prometeu em silêncio. "Não importa onde você esteja, Lorena. Eu vou dar um jeito de trazer você de volta."

On the fifth anniversary of Rebecca Perry's marriage to Vance Bradford, his first love returned to the country. That night, she caught him in the bathroom, murmuring Catherine's name as he pleasured himself. That was why, for five years, he had never touched her. "Catherine is back; she's all alone. I'm just helping her as a friend." "I understand." "I promised her I'd accompany her to the island for her birthday. I'm just fulfilling it." "Okay." "This banquet requires a capable companion, and Catherine is more suitable than you." "Okay, go ahead." When she stopped getting angry, stopped shedding tears, and stopped making a fuss, he grew puzzled. "Rebecca, why aren't you angry?" Of course, she wasn't angry anymore—because she was preparing to leave. Weary of this stagnant marriage, she had secretly learned a foreign language, taken the proficiency exam, and applied to study abroad. The day her visa was approved, she presented him with the divorce agreement. Vance froze. "No joke. How are you gonna survive without me?" Rebecca turned away, bought a plane ticket, and flew to the European continent, vanishing without a trace. The next time he saw news of her was in a viral video. Dressed in a flowing red gown, she danced against a foreign sky, igniting the internet with her performance. He gritted his teeth. "Rebecca, no matter where you hide, I will find you and bring you back!"

My husband persuaded my daughter to donate her kidney to save his lover. After the surgery, he stayed by his lover’s side and neglected my daughter who developed kidney failure that led to her death. When I confronted the nasty couple, they refused to believe that my daughter had passed away and kicked me out by force. Afterward, I took my daughter's ashes to her eighteenth birthday party where my husband showed up with his lover and tore down all the decorations, going as far as to scatter my daughter’s ashes. He then accused my late daughter of undermining his lover’s career. When he finally had to accept that his daughter was dead, he still insisted on defending his lover. Eventually, I showed him proof that it was his lover who refused the hospital’s proposed organ donor so that she could plot to take my daughter’s kidney instead. Upon finding out the truth, he lost his mind and killed his lover. Now that those two have gotten what they deserve, I bring my daughter’s ashes and travel to the places she had always wanted to go to.

Welcome back to Clifton Heights. Sheriff Chris Baker and Father Ward meet for a Saturday morning breakfast at The Skylark Diner to once again commiserate over the weird and terrifying secrets surrounding their town. Sheriff Baker shares with Father Ward the story of a journal discovered in the ruins of what was once an elaborate koi pond and flower garden, which regales a tale of regret, buried pain, and unfulfilled debt: “Sophan” – Jake Burns has always been a bit...off. Rude, awkward, sometimes brutish, he's tolerated by Nate Slocum and his friends because he hits a mean line drive, and because they all know but don't discuss the abuse he faces at the hands of his troubled father, a Vietnam veteran consumed by his demons. But Jake is suffering something far worse than domestic abuse, and when Nate discovers what, he faces an impossible choice: help Jake and put himself in the path of evil, or abandon him, only to damn himself in the process. ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing
