No Boyfriend No Problems

Scarlet blood trickled from my thigh as I clutched Arvin Owen's hand. "My belly... It hurts so much..." He shook off my hand indifferently. "Come on, I know it's chicken blood you are using. Debby just suffered abuse from her husband and is now in the hospital without anyone to care for her. Don't be so spoiled!" But what flowed from me was not chicken blood. It was my life slipping away.

El día de mi boda, mi hermana menor regresó al país de improviso. Mis papás, mi hermano y mi prometido me dejaron sola y se fueron al aeropuerto a recibirla. Mientras ella subía a sus redes una foto grupal, presumiendo que todo mundo la adoraba, yo marqué una y otra vez: me colgaron todas las llamadas. El único que contestó fue mi prometido: —No hagas un drama; la boda se puede volver a celebrar. Ese día me convirtieron en el hazmerreír de la boda que tanto había esperado. La gente señalaba, se burlaba, y yo tragué en seco. Respiré hondo, arreglé todo yo sola y, en mi diario, escribí un número nuevo: 99. Era la decepción número noventa y nueve. Entendí que no iba a seguir esperando su amor. Completé la solicitud para estudiar en el extranjero y empaqué mi maleta. Todos creyeron que, por fin, me había calmado. No sabían que ya me iba.

Mateus Costa, o homem mais rico de Rio dos Cedros, passou três anos em coma. Durante todo esse tempo, Emilly Araújo, como sua esposa, cuidou dele com dedicação. No entanto, quando Mateus finalmente despertou, Emilly encontrou em seu celular uma mensagem comprometedora que sugeria traição: sua "deusa" havia retornado ao país. Seus amigos, que sempre a desprezaram, riam entre si: — O cisne branco voltou. Já está na hora de deixar o patinho feio para trás. Foi nesse momento que Emilly percebeu que Mateus nunca a havia amado. Ela não passava de uma piada patética. Algum tempo depois, tarde da noite, o poderoso Presidente Mateus recebeu os papéis do divórcio. Motivo: incapacidade do marido. Furioso, ele foi atrás dela, apenas para encontrar sua ex-esposa, antes um "patinho feio", trajando um elegante vestido longo, irradiando uma beleza serena sob as luzes brilhantes. A mulher que ele desprezara havia se transformado em uma renomada especialista médica. Ao vê-lo se aproximar, a Sra. Costa sorriu de leve e, em um tom brincalhão, disse: — Presidente Mateus, veio marcar uma consulta com um urologista?

I looked at him, smiling back, thinking it was all a game, but deep down, I felt the pulse of something far more real. His hand brushing down to my waist, teasing my ability to give in. And in that quiet, I didn’t know it yet, but my body was about to betray me completely, as I melted into his burning touch. He looked into my eyes, leaning slightly closer than I expected. "Can I kiss you?" Roy asked, almost like he was at the verge of smashing his lips against mine. ******* Hailey Queen was done playing nice after her ex humiliated her, dumped in front of the whole school and took her step sister to prom.

Today is the day when my boyfriend Caleb agreed to mark me. I even took off my skirt, but he received a phone call before he could complete it. He instantly left me alone on the bed, making me feel extremely embarrassed. I tried everything to contact him, but I couldn't reach him. Then, when I finally called his childhood sweetheart, Susan, to my surprise, Caleb answered the phone. "Susan was scared by a nightmare. I have to stay with her to take care of her. Let's mark another day. And please can we talk later. Susan finally fell asleep again. I don't wanna disturb her rest.” "But this is the seventh time you have postponed marking," I said softly. "Marking can be done at any time, but Susan needs me! Don't you have any humanity, Maria?" He hung up, and I burst into tears. My inner wolf asked me, Caleb is gone, do you still need to mark today? I wiped away my tears and said, "Of course, I will do it.” And I immediately contacted the alpha of the neighboring tribe.

No dia do julgamento, meu noivo, Tiago Assis, me pediu para não insistir mais na defesa da minha inocência e me pediu para assinar o acordo de confissão. — Eu sei que você é inocente, mas a Barbara está grávida de um filho meu. Eu não posso deixá-la ir para a cadeia. — Ele segurou minha mão, com lágrimas nos olhos. — Mari, eu também estou fazendo isso pelo seu próprio bem. Sem hesitar, assinei o acordo de confissão. Na vida passada, eu não aceitei assumir o crime no lugar da Barbara Lins. Como resultado, não só fui para a cadeia do mesmo jeito, como também fui torturada por ordem de Tiago até ficar estéril para o resto da vida. Agora que voltei no tempo, escolhi satisfazer o desejo dele. No dia seguinte, as notícias sobre meu suposto roubo de informações confidenciais se espalharam por todos os lugares. Barbara chegou a se apresentar como testemunha: — Sim, foi ela! Eu vi ela invadindo o Grupo Lopes com meus próprios olhos! Mas, à tarde, na audiência, o denunciante, Ricardo Lopes, retirou o processo e desistiu da ação. Sob os olhares surpresos de todos, ele tirou um anel de diamante e se ajoelhou diante de mim. — Mari, você aceita se casar comigo?

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.
