Monster Chat

Mi mamá accidentalmente me metió a un chat de grupo llamado “Familia Feliz”. En el grupo solo hay tres personas, mi mamá, mi papá y un chico que no conozco que lleva el apodo de “Tesoro”. Ellos están emocionadísimos organizando una fiesta de cumpleaños para él… y mañana es mi cumpleaños, ese que llevan diez años consecutivos olvidando. En el chat mamá escribe: ‘El lugar debe ser de ensueño, que se sienta como el rey de la fiesta.’ Luego, mi papá le hizo una gran transferencia de dinero, y le dijo: ‘No te preocupes por el dinero, solo no dejes que tu hermano se entere, se molestaría’. Mientras tanto yo, en silencio, tomo capturas de pantalla, esperando el momento perfecto para romper todos los lazos de una vez. En ese momento, mi hermana, siempre tan aplicada y ejemplar, me envía un mensaje al privado con una captura de pantalla de su conversación con mamá: “Mamá, ¿ya organizaste la fiesta sorpresa de cumpleaños para mi hermano? Me prometiste que esta sería la última vez que lo engañaremos”.

My coworker, Kevin Walter, invited me to join a private messaging chat group of rich women. There are plenty of perks, such as the 300-dollar cash gift he claimed right in front of me. I joined the group out of curiosity and got to know a wealthy woman named Ms. White. After some time together, she invited me on a vacation to a famous tourist city near the country's border. Little did I know, I was close enough to being dragged into a dangerous area abroad to become a live organ donor.

My cousin, Erin Johnson, is passionate about testing my boyfriends. Although I keep turning her offer down, she keeps insisting on doing so for me. Once she successfully seduces a boyfriend of mine, she'll dump him instantly. Then, she'll announce in our family's group chat that said boyfriend isn't a good match for me. When Erin does the same thing once again, she doesn't realize that she's stepping into a trap I've specifically set up for her. There's no way she won't step into it.

“I want to please you, Angioletto. Teach me how to please you.” I whisper. He steps forward and crouches down, his hand cradling my face. “Be careful what you wish for, Munchkin, girls like you shouldn’t concern yourselves with pleasing insatiable men like me.” She’s his breath of fresh air. He’s the reason he lives. Angiolettto’s mission was clear. Go to Dumont Augustin’s province, and wipe out his entire generation. But Angioletto failed. He failed because a beautiful five foot two, brown eyed girl crossed his path and brought him alive in a way he’s unable to explain. He’s a monster, her monster, the monster whose heart is captured by a nineteen year old girl. And for Oceane, he’s her monster, a monster who saved her life, a monster whom she takes a risk with and gives her heart to.

My boyfriend tells me he's a monster in a game, but I think he's lying. What monster would have washboard abs and defined obliques? And what monster would keep asking me for hugs and kisses? Everything changes when I end up in a survival game one day. I'm stuck in a dark, cold ocean when the main boss of the game, a scary tentacled monster, entangles me in its grasp. When it speaks, the voice is gentle and familiar. "Kiss me, Ara."

"I do not know whether to put a bullet in your head or fuck the life out of you Ms. Vaccarelli.." It is often said that if you treat someone like a monster they will eventually become a monster, despite their true nature and past. What if you treat a monster like an angel.. what if you treat darkness with light, will that change the past?

My wife went abroad for a six-month training course and unexpectedly secured a major deal.  Thanks to this contract, she was promoted to director against all odds. When I saw the news of her return in the work group chat, I immediately ordered flowers to pick her up at the airport. However, her belly, which would have been eight months pregnant, showed no signs of it. She had aborted our child, turning me into a laughingstock among colleagues. Just as I tried to swallow my anger, she told me she was pregnant with someone else’s child. She demanded that I step aside and make way for her.

When I'm at the hospital for a prenatal checkup, I find out that the husband of the woman sitting beside me is Rupert Hensley, a renowned businessman. It's such a coincidence. Rupert is my husband, too. As we chat, I learn that her husband isn't with her because he's out of town for a meeting. This is even more coincidental—my husband is also out of town for a meeting. After a long silence, I decide to get an abortion instead of going for my prenatal checkup. It's only when I later ask for a divorce that I remember he and I never registered our marriage in the first place.
