Lors du premier jour de classe, j'avais tout organisé. J'avais déjà classé mes livres en ordre alphabétique, mon uniforme était repassé et ranger dans mon placard, attendant seulement que je le porte. C'était la même chose depuis des années. Les garçons allaient siffler devant l'arrivée de Jeanette Green, la bimbo de l'école, les intellos seraient dans un coin en train de faire des recherches sur leurs ordinateurs, les joueurs de foot se vanteraient auprès de n'importe quelle fille prête à les écouter, la chorale répéterait leurs chansons dans un coin de la cantine et les petits nouveaux seraient dans un coin, exclus, en attendant de se faire des amis. Et moi, j'allais trainer avec mes meilleurs amis, faire la folle mais rester une bonne fille. Car quand on s'appelle Lily Parks, on a pas autre choix que de bien se comporter. Dans notre famille, nous n'avons pas de réputation qui nous suive: nous sommes comme la plupart des gens. Seul différence entre notre famille et les autres? Mon arrière grand-père était un homme très respecté dans notre petite ville perdue dans les États-Unis. On le complimentait souvent dans sa façon d'agir, en tant qu'avocat réputé. Il a enseigné les bonnes manières à ses enfants, qui eux l'ont enseignés à leurs enfants, ainsi de suite. Mes parents tenaient beaucoup à continuer la tradition, alors je suis l'incarnation même des bonnes manières. Bonnes notes, bon comportement, apparence soignée... S'il fallait que je brise ces règles! Je n'imaginais même pas... Je prévoyais toujours tout en avance pour éviter de me mettre les pieds dans les plats, pour faire plaisir à ma famille. Mais pourtant, cette année, il y avait une chose que je n'avais pas du tout prévu. Et cette chose avait un nom. Matthew Carter.

Today is the sixth time my girlfriend, Shirley Lake, is supposed to meet my parents. My parents and I wait at the restaurant for four whole hours. I call her over and over again, but she never picks up. Just as I'm about to try one last time, I see Shirley's childhood sweetheart, Joshua Solomon, post a picture on his Instagram, with the location tagged at a suburban hotel. The picture shows a woman's pale back, one shoulder bare, with a striking red spider lily tattoo visible on her skin. Underneath the picture was the caption, "We'll make it from 18 to 80." A mutual friend comments, "First-love couples are the sweetest!" I silently hit the like button, then comment, "Make sure to get buried together when you die. And don't come back to haunt anyone else."

อุบัติเหตุเพียงครั้งเดียวกลับนำมาซึ่งความสูญเสียที่ไม่อาจประเมินค่าได้ โชคดีที่ยังเหลือคนในครอบครัวที่รอดชีวิตอยู่บ้าง แต่สภาพความเป็นอยู่อาจแตกต่างไปจากเดิมอย่างสิ้นเชิง

At the wedding I've spent months planning, my usually stoic fiancé, Anthony Scott, is about to run off with his assistant, Erica Jones. To top it all off, she is wearing a wedding gown. Out of nowhere, his younger brother, Christopher Scott, grabs my hand and plans to pull me straight to City Hall. He disregards my panicking eyes. "Let's get married," he says, as if it's the most normal thing in the world. Then, the stage decorations suddenly collapse, revealing a room full of guests mocking and laughing at me. The two men who once swore to love me forever do all just to make Erica smile. The three of them clink glasses and drink a love toast on stage, completely lost in their own moment. "The wedding you planned was way too outdated. You should thank Erica for turning it into a bachelorette party!" "The real wedding will be this Sunday. Isn't Erica's idea amazing?" Anthony and Christopher were confident that I wouldn't dare leave them. But I quietly pick up my phone and type a message. "Let's set the wedding date for this Sunday, Levi."

My mother-in-law, Eleanor, was having a heart attack, and my husband, Ben Dover—a heart surgeon—was the only one who could save her. Did I call him? Nope. I just stood there, watching her gasp like a fish out of water. In my last life, I'd begged Ben to come save her. He brushed me off, accusing me of interrupting his time with his mistress, Ima Schit. No matter how much I pleaded, he wouldn't come. Eleanor had died in the hospital. And when Johnny, my father-in-law, demanded answers, Ben flipped the script, saying I'd never even called. He made Eleanor's death my fault. Johnny, blinded by grief and fury, killed me. But plot twist—I woke up. Right back to the day this circus started.

When I'm accompanying my daughter, Alina Stone, to the hospital for a chemotherapy session, an employee from the social security center calls me. "Ms. Lewis, an error has occurred with the bank card that's set to receive your parents' pension. Please make sure to change to a new card." I'm left feeling stunned. My parents have been dead for three years. Why would they even receive more pension in the first place? After asking the employee, I find out that my parents' pension has been wired into the bank card as normal throughout the years. My husband, Christian Stone, was the one who had previously updated the bank card details at the social security center. Once I get home, I demand answers from Christian after playing him the recording of the phone call. He falls silent for a very long time before telling me the truth. It turns out that he never registered my parents' death back then. Till now, their corpses have been stored in a freezer in my childhood home. That bank card had received a total of 90 thousand dollars' worth of pension over the past three years. Christian has given all of the money to his ex-wife, Lydia Swanson, in order to support her financially. But the thing is, he never gave me a single cent for Alina's treatment before.

I'm Alpha Bruce Smith's most docile and understanding daughter. In fact, I'm the type who obeys literally anyone's orders. When my parents pick me up at the Rogues' den and take me back to the pack, my adopted younger sister, Andrea Smith, begins making fun of me. "I thought the Rogues killed you for sure! I never thought you'd be able to return to the pack, safe and sound! You really are lucky! Why can't you just die already?" With hollow eyes, I just nod quietly. Then, I extend a claw and move to stab myself in the neck without hesitation. My parents are terrified out of their wits. They quickly stop me from hurting myself. But my older brother, Tobias Smith, remains impassive about my condition. "You really love attention that much, huh? What makes you think you can still remain my sister, anyway? You might as well drink some wolfsbane and die!" That night, I grab a bottle of poison and down it immediately. Tobias discovers me afterward. He whisks me to the hospital anxiously. When the doctor tells him that I'd die if he were two minutes later in discovering me, Tobias' complexion turns pale. Some time after that, when Andrea snatches my necklace from me, she loses her balance and falls down the stairs. Her fiance points at me while exclaiming, "It's just a necklace! If anything were to happen to Andrea, you'd better pay the price with your life!" Pay the price with my life, huh? I don't hesitate to draw the silver sword out of its hilt on the wall. Then, I slash my throat with it. My parents happen to witness it. Shell-shocked, they scream at the top of their lungs. "Call an ambulance! Hurry!" Tobias tries to stem the blood flow with trembling hands. He's completely stunned by the ordeal. What everyone doesn't know is that they've been calling me a lowlife during my five-year stay in the Rogues' den. Even if I could live 100 times over, those lives are nothing compared to Andrea. Even if I gave my life, it would never be enough—because to them, my life was never worth anything in the first place.
