In my previous life, everything I do to care for myself somehow ends up benefiting my new housekeeper instead. I apply expensive skincare, yet dark spots and fine lines spread across my face, whereas the 45-year-old housekeeper's face becomes silkier. I jog every morning, yet my body only grows heavier and bulkier, while hers becomes slender and toned. When my husband notices the stretch marks on my abdomen, his face twists with disgust, and he never touches me again. "I genuinely can't bring myself to touch you. How can you look worse than Mirabelle when you take such good care of yourself?" My housekeeper looks at me with a sinister smile. A chill crawls up my spine, and the strange feeling makes me fire her on the spot. Yet, as soon as she leaves, I start aging at lightning speed, entering menopause 20 years early and developing diabetes and high blood pressure. I see every doctor I can, but after hanging on for a week, I die from a stroke. When I open my eyes again, I'm back on the day she first reports to work. This time, I push away the royal jelly she sets in front of me with a pleasant smile. "I've been avoiding certain foods lately. You can have it instead."

She’s texting him her heart. But she’s got the wrong number… When Isabel “El” Watson applied for a sales job with her company, she had no idea a jelly donut would explode on her blouse, or that her grumpy boss would practically laugh her out of the interview. Accountants could be salespeople, she was sure of it, even if that jerkface didn’t think so. So when a lady at the local wine festival offers her a sales job on the spot at a new boutique winery, El jumps at the chance. She also jumps at the chance to text with the guy who danced with her at the festival. Life was finally looking up. Boston’s friend, Chad, never should have given Boston’s number to the girl at the wine festival as a joke, but the damage was done. When El sends Boston a text later that night, believing he is Chad, he’s too nice to hurt her feelings by telling her the truth. But there are a few other truths Boston might have thought about: Truth #1: He’s her boss Truth #2: She just accepted a job at his mother’s new winery Truth #3: He’s always had a crush on her Even though Boston is no longer El’s grumpy boss, they still work together at his mom’s winery. And while sparks are flying as they get to know each other for real, El’s kind of sweet on the guy who always seems to know just what to say via text too. Obviously, things will come to a head. Will Boston come clean about the flirty texts being from him? Or will El figure out on her own that she’s been Texting With the Enemy?

He trailed his hand down her face as it flushed instantly, emotions that seemed uncontrolled blooming out. "I love you. You know that right?", he asked, his eyes looking as convincing as ever, as he stared at the naive and lovesick teenage girl in front of him. " I...," she could not make out her words as her legs turned into jelly, making her lean gently on him. "I love you too," she managed to say, and those were the words he needed.

Aku dan adikku adalah anak kembar, tetapi aku lebih berat 800 gram darinya. Sejak kecil, adikku lemah dan sering sakit, sedangkan aku aktif dan lincah. Saat berusia empat tahun, dia didiagnosis penyakit darah. Ibu menyalahkanku. Dia mengatakan aku merebut nutrisi milik adikku saat di kandungan, jadi aku harus mengembalikannya. Saat pertama kali diambil darah, jarumnya sangat besar, aku sangat ketakutan. Ibu menyuruhku tidak perlu takut. Dia memberiku sebuah pena ajaib. Katanya, keinginan yang ditulis dengan pena itu akan menjadi kenyataan. Aku menulis "tidak sakit". Saat jarum kembali ditusukkan, Ibu membelikanku permen lolipop yang manis dan sepertinya benar-benar tidak terasa sakit. Namun kemudian, saat berusia lima tahun, aku menggambar kue stroberi dengan pena itu. Alhasil, darahku malah diambil satu liter. Minggu itu, adikku pun sudah bisa duduk dan bermain. Usia tujuh tahun, aku menulis ingin pergi berlibur. Keesokan harinya, aku malah didorong ke ruang operasi untuk diambil sel pembentuk darah, sementara pipi adikku untuk pertama kalinya tampak merona. Saat berusia delapan tahun, aku menulis ingin tetap menjadi peringkat satu tahun depan, tetapi sehari sebelum ujian, sumsum tulangku diambil. Di sisi lain, adikku akhirnya keluar dari rumah sakit, mengenakan gaun baru yang belum pernah kumiliki. Pada usia sembilan tahun, tubuhku sudah sangat terkuras. Dengan tangan gemetar, aku menulis satu kalimat yang miring dan tidak rapi. [ Semoga di kehidupan berikutnya, aku tidak menjadi anak Ibu. ]
