The day Noelle Rutherford finds out she's pregnant, she braves the rain to go to a club that Chester Gray frequents. She stands outside a private room and pats her soaked hair dry with some tissues, wanting to surprise him when his get-together ends. Through the ajar door, she hears laughter. "Chester, your wedding to Noelle is in a week. Is your surprise for her ready?" "Of course," Chester says, his usually cool voice laced with tipsiness. "I'll make it a memory she'll never forget." Noelle pauses, and her lips curve upward in a sweet smile. Throughout her three years with Chester, he has truly cherished her like a treasure and loved her with all his heart. "Ha! Do you think she'll have a meltdown and lose her mind on the big day when she finds out I've been toying with her while pretending to be you this whole time?" Someone laughed. "She'd never in her wildest dreams imagine that Chester has an identical twin brother! When she finds out her boyfriend's brother has been playing her for three years…"

At twenty, she was taken to a night club for the first time. Now, at twenty six, she meets with the one man she has ever slept with. Christopher Allen. She had taken his money and ran. She always hoped to never come across him again. Now, he appears and wants to take his daughter or they get married. Yes, she had a child after just one night. One night of reckless abandon. Her first time. {"You make me laugh, I am here for what belongs to me and I think you know what that is," he said. My heart dropped to my feet immediately after he said that. I know he would want his money and I hope that is what he is talking about. "What do you want, your money?" I asked hoping he will say yes. "You are very funny... I want what belongs to me and you know very well what that is, yes, you took my money but, that's not what I am talking about... I WANT MY DAUGHTER!" } He had come demanding and she had no choice. She either agrees to be his wife or never sees her beloved daughter again. That was what bound her to him for life. A night had led to being his forever.

The one I've loved for ten years hates me to his core. He comes up with various ways to hurt and belittle me. He even deliberately lets me hear him having a steamy night with someone else. "You're the unsightly blemish that marred my otherwise perfect life," he says. The thing that he regrets the most in his entire life is getting to know me. In the end, I die. However, he regrets it dearly.

My husband's true love had kidney cancer 30 years ago. He gave up his fortune so she could participate in a cryogenic freezing experiment. He even tricked me into signing an organ donation consent form. "You're contributing to the country's scientific research!" Today, technology is much more advanced. My husband decides to revive his true love and treat her cancer. He also asks me to have my kidney transplanted in her body. After I say no, my son frowns. "How can you be so selfish? It's just a kidney." My husband is furious. "You're already dying, but her life will restart once she's revived from the cryogenic freezing!" My family forces me into the operation theater. My husband's even the one who handles the surgery. What he doesn't know is that I've already donated a kidney for the sake of his career. He loses his mind once he slices my abdomen open.

Bunso sa magkapatid si Carmelita. Madali sana ang buhay niya dahil nakapagtapos na ng pag-aaral sila at tanggap na ang kanilang pamilya sa kanyang lolo at lola, pero habang na sa sinapupunan palang si Carmelita may marka na ng isang sumpa ang kanyang pagkatao. Sa edad na labing-walo tatalab ang sumpa. Sumpa na makakabago ng paningin ng ibang tao sa kanya at ang kanyang paningin sa sarili. "Carmelita, Ganyan na ba talaga ang tingin mo sa akin? Do I look that desperate for a child?"

Cuando mi novio piloto canceló por decimoctava vez nuestra boda, me cansé. La primera vez, dejó todo porque su alumna tuvo la regla y corrió a comprarle té de jengibre con azúcar moreno. La segunda, su alumna falló en una misión; él solo dijo que estaba de mal humor y me convirtió en el hazmerreír de todos en el banquete. En tres años de relación, siempre que ella tenía un problema, él me dejaba plantada sin pensarlo dos veces. Al fin, comprendí: quizá en su corazón yo nunca importé. Así que compré un billete a París y decidí viajar sola por el mundo. De esta forma, ya nadie volvería a abandonarme.

A las 4 de la mañana, mi esposo, Rocco, me despertó con delicadeza. Su voz era apenas un murmullo. —Mi amor, ¿puedes hacerme un favor? Pero lo que dijo después me regresó a la realidad. —Scarlett tiene hambre. Ve y prepárale un caldo de mariscos. Scarlett era nuestra criada y también la amante embarazada de Rocco. —Acaban de traer mariscos frescos. Ve a la cocina y prepárale una sopa. Que es para el heredero de Falcone. Me negué firmemente. Él se puso furioso. —No seas tan necia, Alessia. ¿Por qué se te hace tan difícil preparar una sopa? Negué en silencio. Me acarició la mejilla, mientras sonreía de manera condescendiente. —Está bien. Vaya, así que ahora te atreves a desobedecerme. Piénsalo bien. ¿En serio quieres conservar tu lugar en la familia? ¿Y tu puesto como abogada de la familia? Piensa si todavía quieres todo eso... y luego me respondes. Al ver la arrogancia de Rocco, el último rastro de amor que me quedaba por ese hombre se desvaneció. Saqué mi celular y marqué un número que no había usado en mucho tiempo. —Quiero salir de la familia Falcone.

Llevábamos seis años de casados, pero en los últimos tres meses, mi esposo ni siquiera me había tocado. Decía que el trabajo lo tenía agotado, y yo, enamorada desde hace años, le creí sin dudar. Hasta que en el día de mi cumpleaños, escuché a sus amigos hablar en alemán a sus espaldas. —¿Ya terminaste con la otra? Antes ibas todos los días… no sé cómo aguantabas. —¿Y tu esposa? ¿No te dice nada? Mi esposo soltó el humo de su cigarro con indiferencia: —Hace meses que ni la toco. Claudia es buena en la cama y aún no me aburre… Lástima que salió embarazada. A mi esposa no le gustan los niños, así que le di dinero a Claudia para que se fuera al extranjero y lo tuviera allá. Apreté los puños con fuerza. Las lágrimas comenzaron a caer sin permiso. Él se acercó preocupado y preguntó qué me pasaba. Yo negué con la cabeza, sonriendo. —Este pastel que hiciste con tus propias manos… me emocionó mucho. Está delicioso. El pastel sabía dulce. Pero yo, que sí entendía alemán, solo sentía amargura en el alma.

Mi prometido era el neurocientífico más brillante del país. Pero su amiga de la infancia, enferma de cáncer terminal y solo tenía un mes de vida, por lo que, para acompañarla en ese último tramo del camino, él me obligó a tomar una dosis experimental de un fármaco que borra la memoria, una creación suya, aún secreta. Durante ese mes en que yo lo olvidé todo, él organizó una boda con su amiga, la llevó de luna de miel, y juntos, prometieron reencontrarse en otra vida, en medio de un campo lleno de flores. Un mes después, bajo una lluvia que calaba hasta los huesos, él cayó de rodillas frente a mí, con los ojos llenos de desesperación y la voz hecha trizas: —La droga solo duraba un mes... ¿Por qué me olvidaste para siempre?
