No Estoy Muerto

ROOM 808 It was just a regular night and an ordinary room, but for Rosa, it felt like a bad dream. She didn’t see the man who was with her that night, and she didn’t even know his name. All she could remember was his warm touch and the minty taste of his lips. Her stepsister and sister had set her up, trapping her in that room to ruin her life. Because of that night, she gave birth to a son, and she decided to hide him from everyone. Five years later, when Rosa and her son return to the Philippines, the truth about that night slowly begins to come out. Will Rosa get the justice she deserves? Or will she never learn the truth about her son's father?

Llevaba siete años con Santiago, y aun así él no quería casarse conmigo. —Santiago, estoy lista para casarme —le dije un día con calma. Él frunció el ceño con indiferencia, como si ni siquiera hubiera escuchado bien mis palabras. —Joana, la empresa está a punto de salir a bolsa, estoy tan ocupado que no pienso perder tiempo en un tema tan irrelevante. Sonreí con tranquilidad. Tal vez, en sus ojos, aquello era solo un intento desesperado de presionarlo para que me propusiera matrimonio. Pero lo cierto es que, esta vez, sí me iba a casar… Pero el novio no sería él.

Drogada y engañada, dio a luz en medio de una tragedia: su hijo fue declarado falsamente muerto al nacer. Consumida por el dolor, desapareció… pero años después, regresó con su hija y un hijo adoptivo, impulsada por un deseo implacable de vengarse de quienes arruinaron su vida y la de su difunta madre. Pero el destino tenía preparado un giro impactante: su hijo está vivo… y su padre es un poderoso CEO.

My husband lies to me about working late on Christmas Day. I know he wants to give me a surprise—I saw a jewelry set worth millions of dollars in his pocket. However, all I receive is the news of him pretending to be Santa Claus as he delivers a gift to his female secretary. She flaunts it on social media. "You're the most precious Christmas gift I've gotten." My husband changes the background photo on his social media to a photo of them together. I smile and like the post. Later, the secretary comes to me and smugly says she's pregnant. Meanwhile, I pull out a diagnosis report verifying that my husband is sterile. "Checkmate!" She visibly panics.

For six years, I took bullets for him and erased every sharp edge of myself. Because of the way he protected me, outsiders all believed I was the woman closest to his heart. However, when I asked for just one sincere “I love you”, he laughed and refused. “Mafia marriages aren’t about feelings. Know your place.” Then he said, “If Sophia doesn’t like it, don’t even bother.” When the bomb countdown hit thirty seconds, my don husband shoved me aside without hesitation and ran out holding Sophia in his arms. Only then did I understand that after six years of entanglement, I wasn't even worth a single hair of his sister. I slammed the divorce papers into his face. “I’m going to personally send you and your precious sister straight to hell!”

A few weeks before our wedding, Rodney Luther's stepmother, Jessica Flaine, posts a photo on her social media. In the photo, she's wearing the wedding dress I picked out, holding a bouquet of red roses, and shyly leaning toward Rodney, asking for a kiss. The caption reads—"Dreams fulfilled." I don't call Rodney in tears or throw a fit like I used to. I simply like the post and leave a comment. "Screenshot sent to Rodney's father." Not long after, Jessica deletes the post, and Rodney's phone call follows immediately. "Ivana, you're being so petty! The rest of my days belong to you. It's only today that I'm fulfilling a small dream of Jessica's. Hurry up and explain things to my dad! "Come on, be good. I've got a gift for you." A scoff escapes me. "Rodney, do you hear me clearly? Go explain it to your father yourself!"

He is the unchallenged Alpha of the Shadow pack. He crushes my hand, lets his true love drive me to the brink, and forces me to lick wolfsbane from my wounds in the punishment chamber, turning me into the pack's laughingstock. I am the Lunar pack's pawn in a political bonding. After enduring three years of humiliation and clutching enemy intelligence, I overturn his throne during the Moon Ceremony, making him watch helplessly as his beloved betrays him and his pack descends into chaos. Later, he backs down. He abdicates as Alpha and gets down on his knees at the pack's border every day, his voice hoarse from shouting, "I was wrong." I hold a blood-stained dagger, my gaze icy as I say, "Your regret is deadlier than wolfsbane and worth even less than my life." Our bonding is a calculated trap, and revenge is the move I am determined to play. Winning him back no longer matters. This time, I am not turning back. I want nothing but his endless remorse and the chance to break my chains and begin a new life.

I pushed the door open and saw Giovanna standing there in my silk robe—my gift from Enzo—and wearing my heirloom pendant. She lifted a brow and mocked me, “The robe fits, the pendant’s mine, and you—get out.” I grabbed Enzo, demanding an explanation, but he shoved a fake contract in my face, saying, “You signed it.” “I did not. Stop lying!” I snapped. He snapped at me, “This is family business. You know nothing.” It seemed three years together was nothing but an act. That very night, I ran away to Milan. I had nowhere to go and no one to turn to until Mark showed up out of nowhere. “Don’t be scared,” he said. “I’ve got you. As long as I’m around, no one touches you.” He protected me, and for a moment, I really thought I’d finally found someone I could rely on. However, when we were practicing at the shooting range later, I stared at him. “Why are you helping me?” I asked. “And don’t tell me it’s because of that mess I left behind.” His eyes flickered for a second before he answered, “Just trust me. That’s all you need to do.” Something about the way he said it made my stomach twist. This whole disaster was all one giant setup. And now here I am, gripping a gun, fighting for justice, but am I really avenging myself? Or was I already someone else’s pawn from the very beginning?

Antes de la boda, descubrí que llevaba más de dos meses embarazada. Leobardo Ríos, algo ebrio, acarició mi vientre y bromeó a medias: —Verónica Vega, aún no estoy preparado para ser padre. ¿Y si no tenemos este bebé? Con el corazón en calma, respondí suavemente: —Está bien. En mi vida pasada, había insistido en quedarme con ese hijo. Pero, cuando Valeria Sánchez perdió el suyo por accidente y quedó con secuelas para volver a concebir, Leobardo me guardó rencor. Después de la boda, su actitud hacia mí fue completamente fría, mientras el hijo que había traído al mundo tras un parto difícil, que casi me costó la vida… lloraba, deseando que Valeria fuera su madre. Más tarde, cuando tuve un accidente de coche y me desangraba, padre e hijo pasaron junto a mí con total indiferencia, con tal de poder llegar a tiempo al parto de Valeria. Mientras yo moría desangrada, ellos celebraban con efusividad una nueva vida. Por eso, en esta nueva oportunidad, no volveré a perderme a mí misma ni tomaré el camino equivocado, por lo que, sin más, marqué el número del director, para anunciarle: —Estoy dispuesta a unirme a la expedición polar.
