Riches in Ruins

Riches in Ruins

It was Christmas Eve. Once again, my parents left me alone at home, chasing triple pay at work. However, after twenty years of the same lonely holiday, I couldn’t take it anymore. I didn’t want to sit in the quiet house by myself again, so I packed up some sandwiches and went to them. What I didn’t expect was to see them stepping out of a luxury car, arms linked with a boy who looked about my age, laughing like they didn’t have a care in the world, heading straight into a five-star hotel. “Mom, Dad, is it okay to leave Suzie all alone at home like that?” My mom waved it off and said, “It’s fine. She’s used to it.” My dad just brushed it off with a chuckle. “She’s nothing like you. You're our real treasure.” Upon hearing that, I turned and walked away. They'd been pretending to be broke all these years, lying to me about working overtime, about scraping by. Well, fine. If they don’t want me, I’m done wanting them, too.

Shattered Love

Shattered Love

My boyfriend is a forensic doctor. I've been abducted and tied to a bomb—there's only ten minutes to detonation. The abductors force me to call my boyfriend, but all I get is a scolding. "What the hell do you want, Michelle? What are you playing at, using your life as an excuse just because you're jealous? "Vi's cat has already been stuck in a tree for three days. She loves it like it's her life! If you delay me from saving it, you'll be a murderer!" I hear a coquettish voice ring out on the other end of the line. "Thank you for this, Kev. You're amazing!" I recognize that voice—it belongs to my boyfriend's childhood friend. I text my boyfriend when the bomb is about to explode. "Farewell forever. I pray we won't meet each other again in another life."

Forcée de vivre au sous-sol par mon mari

Nous nous préparions à déménager dans une nouvelle maison. Lorsque la meilleure amie de mon mari a appris la nouvelle, elle a décidé de vivre avec nous.

Quand j'ai exprimé mon mécontentement, il a dit d'un ton léger : « Grace est mon amie, arrête de trop penser. Son fils est comme mon fils, bien sûr, je veux qu'il ait une chambre plus agréable. » Quand je suis restée sur mes positions, mon mari et sa famille ont commencé à me traiter d'égoïste. Écœurée par leur injustice, je suis partie avec ma fille. C'est alors qu'ils ont réalisé mon absence et ont commencé à s'inquiéter.
