Sad Ending

Mi padre me obligó a elegir a uno de los dos hermanos de la familia López para casarme. Elegí a Alejandro López. Solo porque llevaba trece años enamorada de él en silencio. Pero el día de nuestra boda, su hermanastra Paloma se arrojó desde la azotea del hotel. Dejó una carta escrita con sangre, deseándonos amor eterno y una vida juntos. Entonces lo entendí: llevaban años amándose en secreto. Alejandro perdió el control en plena boda y anunció que renunciaba al mundo. Yo me quedé sola, sin rumbo. De por vida, expió sus culpas ante la placa conmemorativa de su hermanastra. Lo odié por engañarme; no pedí el divorcio y nos torturamos. Hasta que un secuestro lo cambió todo. Para salvarme, Alejandro murió junto a los secuestradores. Antes de morir, me miró y dijo: —Isabela, fue mi culpa haberte ocultado la verdad. —Pero dos vidas, la mía y la de mi hermana, ¿no bastan para saldar esta deuda? —En la próxima vida, no me elijas. Cuando abrí los ojos de nuevo, había vuelto al día en que mi padre me pidió escoger esposo. Esta vez, sin dudarlo, elegí al hermano mayor de Alejandro: Ramiro.

On Valentine’s Day, someone stabbed my mother-in-law twenty times until she died. So, I took the murderer to court. My wife was a renowned lawyer, but she decided to defend him. I confronted her in anger, but she casually replied, “Derek’s younger brother is still a college student. Can’t you be a little more forgiving? “I’ll bring Derek and his younger brother along to visit your mother’s grave. Drop the charges. Don’t let this go to trial and embarrass me when you lose the case.” Looking at the mangled corpse full of stabbing wounds, I could not help but let out a bark of laughter. It looked like she was still unaware that the corpse was actually her own mother.

My name is Janet Chance, and I am a researcher focusing on cancer drug development. I have a blissful family life and a career worth fighting for. However, just as I am about to go save a life using my newly researched drug, I discover that the car specifically used to transport the drug has inexplicably disappeared. Upon checking the surveillance footage, I learn that my high school classmate, Melissa Lane, has driven it away. "What do you mean it's your car? This is my husband's car!" I snap back anxiously. "Give me back my car! Right now!" Just as I finish speaking, I hear a crowd's mocking laughter coming from the other end of the phone. "Do you know who you're talking to?" "Your car? This car belongs to the wealthiest man in the country!" Melissa immediately adds, "I'm about to marry the wealthiest man in Azlude! He was worried about my safety, so he specifically allowed me to take this car. "He told me it's very well protected with its bulletproof glass. How dare you say this car is yours, you penniless loser?" In order to take back the drug, I have no choice but to rush over to Melissa's wedding venue. That is when I see the man embracing her in the poster is Samuel Fuller, who is none other than the husband I have been married to for the past three years.

I supported Ethan Mitchell and loved him for eight whole years. I thought I concealed my feelings well, but little did I know that after Ethan became a business magnate, the first thing he did was send me to a ladies’ finishing academy. He looked at me coldly, his arms wrapped around his fiancée. "When you've rid yourself of those filthy thoughts, then you can come out." A year later, I finally forgot him completely. However, Ethan came to regret everything.

Ethan chuckled to himself and ran his fingers through my hair. Electricity ran up my spine as I tried not to react to how good it felt. “God, you’re cute.” He said. He leaned in and kissed me on the lips. I kissed him back, and we lingered in our embrace for a moment before pulling away. I could see something was shifting, was he holding me? What were these feelings brewing inside of me? I told myself not to take them too seriously. “You’re pretending.” I whispered to myself. “None of this is real.” - The offer was simple: one million dollars to pretend to be his girlfriend, then his fiance, in a space of six months. Everything she wanted was going to be at the tip of her fingers, including, maybe, making her best friend Jake a tiny bit jealous. What could go wrong? Everything, absolutely everything. And they both wanted it.

Sebuah video unik viral dalam satu malam. Di dalam video itu, di puncak gunung yang diselimuti kabut, pacarku, Adriel Mahendra, berlutut dengan satu lutut dan dengan ekspresi yang lembut. Di tengah sorak-sorai, cincin di jari perempuan itu berkilau yang menandai dirinya sebagai calon istri Keluarga Mahendra. Dalam hitungan jam, video itu menduduki puncak berbagai daftar tren. Orang-orang menyebutnya sebagai lamaran paling romantis tahun ini. Isabel Santoso kemudian menulis pesan di akun media sosialnya. [Aku sudah menunggu pernikahan ini begitu lama, dan akhirnya sekarang benar-benar terjadi! Terima kasih!] Kolom komentar langsung dipenuhi seruan antusias. [Pewaris keluarga mafia dan wanita biasa? Suka banget!] [Seperti cerita di novel.] [Aku iri banget.] Aku mendatangi pacarku untuk meminta penjelasan. Tapi bahkan sebelum aku sempat membuka mulut, aku mendengar suaranya berbicara dengan sahabat dekatnya di ruang kerja. "Emangnya aku punya pilihan lain?" kata Adriel dengan nada suaranya yang sedikit kesal. "Kalau aku tidak menikahinya, ayahnya akan menjualnya." Temannya ragu sejenak. "Tapi bagaimana dengan Karina? Dia sudah bersamamu bertahun-tahun. Apa kau tidak khawatir dia bisa hilang kendali?" Adriel tertawa, sama sekali tidak peduli. "Terus kenapa kalau dia marah? Karina dan aku sudah bersama selama enam tahun. Dia tidak akan pergi. Dia tidak mungkin pergi." Hampir seluruh tubuhku terasa membeku saat itu. Sebulan kemudian. Aku menikah dengan pria lain di hari yang sama ketika Adriel dan Isabel menikah. Rombongan pernikahan kami bertemu di pusat kota. Sesuai adat, kami bertukar buket bunga di antara dua mobil pengantin yang saling berpapasan, dan jendela kami turun bersamaan. Saat itulah Adriel melihatku. Aku mengenakan gaun pengantin putih dan bukan bersamanya, tapi di dalam pelukan pria lain. Setelah bertahun-tahun mengenal Adriel Mahendra, wajah tenangnya yang selalu sempurna akhirnya retak untuk pertama kalinya.
