How much will the surgery on your brother cost? He asked. It's $250,000. I replied. But the contract says that you will be paid $80,000." How are you going to pay for something with that little money? He asked. I didn't know what to say, so I didn't say anything. If you agree to have sex with me, I'll give you three hundred and seventy thousand dollars. He said. "What'll you do?" I asked him again as if I hadn't heard him before. I want you to get pregnant normally with my child. He said. Not by having a surrogate? I asked. No. If you agree, though. He answered. After giving it a lot of thought, I decided to take him up on his offer. Yes I'll do it. So that my brother can stay healthy. I thought I said the last part. So, that's that. He said. You'll have your own room and a credit card that you can use to buy whatever you want or need. But it can't be taken back. For two weeks, you will sleep in my room and have sex with me every day. You can't leave without my protection or permission. And last but not least, you won't have boyfriends as long as you're pregnant. You'll only belong to me after you sign that paper.

Isang gabi ng pagkakamali. Isang lalaking walang maalala. Isang babaeng kailangang magpanggap na walang alam. Si Adeline Hensley ay isang tahimik at masipag na assistant sa Thomson Group—isang babaeng sanay ilagay sa huli ang sariling damdamin.

Habang inuutusan siyang imbestigahan kung sino ang babaeng nakasama ng kanyang boss, unti-unti namang nahuhulog ang loob ni Adeline sa lalaking hindi niya maaaring angkinin. At habang unti-unting nararamdaman ni Harrison ang kakaibang paghila ng damdamin patungo sa sarili niyang assistant, hindi niya alam na ang babaeng hinahanap niya… ay matagal na niyang kasama araw-araw. Sa gitna ng mga lihim, intriga sa opisina, at mga pusong takot umamin— Magiging sapat ba ang pag-ibig upang labanan ang katotohanang itinago? O tuluyang mawawasak ang lahat kapag lumabas ang sikreto? Isang kwento ng pag-ibig na isinilang mula sa pagkakamali… at susubukin ng tadhana.

Meu namorado foi diagnosticado com câncer e precisava de um transplante de fígado. Quando descobri que éramos compatíveis, aceitei sem hesitar doar parte do meu órgão. Tive dois terços do fígado removidos. A dor era insuportável. E mesmo assim, assim que recobrei a consciência, só pensei em correr até ele. Ouvi ali, na porta, o que acabou comigo de vez. — Cara, você é um gênio. Ninguém mais pensaria numa vingança tão perfeita. — Elogiou o amigo dele. Ele riu, com desprezo: — É uma pena que eu não queira causar muita confusão, senão eu teria tirado logo um dos rins dela. A culpa é dela, por fazer a Cami perder o vestibular e acabar indo estudar fora. Daqui a um mês a Cami volta, e eu me livro de vez dessa idiota.

When the half-mile sprint test is about to begin, Quiana Sullivan, the class president, and I have applied to be exempted from it. My own mother, who's the homeroom teacher of my class, approves Quiana's application with a smile. But she then throws mine to the floor. "You're having a chest pain, you say? I can't believe you're able to come up with such lies just to avoid the half-mile sprint! I'd have known if you had a heart condition! "Quiana is weak by nature, not to mention she's on her period right now, so she can't handle the agony. What about you, hmm? You've always been perfectly healthy, yet now you're telling me that you're suffering from heart pain? "Don't go around embarrassing me just because you want to slack off! I don't want others claiming that I'm being biased toward my own child! As long as you're still alive and kicking, you must finish the half-mile course no matter what!" Left without a choice, I can only return to the field. The cold wind makes me feel even dizzier now. My heart keeps contracting uncontrollably against my will. Suddenly, it just stops pumping. The next thing I know, I collapse onto the grassy field heavily. When my consciousness is about to flicker to darkness, my mom finally walks over to me. But she merely kicks my arm with a frown on her face, and her tone remains glacial. "Stop playing dead. Get up right now." She doesn't realize that I can never open my eyes ever again. Isn't this great, Mom? No one will ever claim that you're biased toward your own child. I've used my life to prove how fair and just you are. You must be happy now, right?

On my father’s sixtieth birthday, I was overseas, negotiating an energy contract. I deliberately told my wife to throw a huge banquet for him. That day, I watched the mansion’s security footage with a smile. Unexpectedly, I saw my nine adoptive siblings surrounding an unfamiliar old man. That old man wore my dad’s class ring as he happily pulled my wife onto the stage. “Thank you for coming to my birthday banquet. This is my daughter-in-law, the president of the Viapent Group. She’s the absolute best! She spent three million dollars on this banquet! It’s all thanks to my eldest son for finding such a capable wife.” In one corner, my actual father was in tattered clothes, washing dishes with my son. He accidentally splattered some water.

I called a special number. “I’m putting a stop to the negotiations. My father and son are being abused back home. I am returning to them now.”
