Sans Steven Universe

Après que j'ai été diagnostiquée d'un cancer de l'estomac, mon mari a cherché des médecins partout pour me sauver. Je croyais que c’était parce qu’il m'aimait profondément. Mais une fois que ma maladie s’est stabilisée, il m'a enlevé un de mes reins, celui du côté gauche, pour le donner à son premier amour, qui était dans le coma depuis deux ans. Devant moi, il l’a embrassée. « Je vais enfin lui rendre ce qu’elle te doit. » « Tu vas t'en sortir. » Mais moi, j’étais déjà si fragile, et cette ablation m’a finalement coûté la vie. Lui, il est devenu complètement fou, hurlant aux médecins dans ses larmes : « Vous avez dit qu’elle ne mourrait pas, non ? »

Mon frère Dylan, parce que sa maîtresse Rosalie avait exprimé le désir d'assister à une pluie de météores, avait emmené tous ses gardes personnels à la campagne pour lui organiser ce spectacle romantique. Cette nuit-là, des anciens rivaux qu'il avait écrasés en ont profité pour s'introduire chez nous, bien décidés à exterminer toute la famille en guise de vengeance. Ma mère m'a protégée de son corps, subissant des blessures mortelles. J'ai appelé Dylan en pleurs, le suppliant de revenir. Heureusement, il a fini par rentrer avec ses gardes. Les intrus étaient alors capturés, mais des nouvelles horribles nous sont parvenue de la campagne : Rosalie s'était suicidée, laissant une lettre m'accusant d'avoir volontairement éloigné Dylan, ce qui l'avait conduite à être torturée par des ennemis. Dylan a brûlé froidement sa lettre d'adieu tout en murmurant : « Ce n'est pas grave. » Plus tard, notre père, déçu par son comportement, m'a promis la direction de l'entreprise familiale. Mais le soir même, après le banquet de célébration, Dylan est entré dans ma chambre et m'a assassinée. Ses derniers mots ont glacé mon sang : « Une personne aussi malfaisante que toi méritait de mourir ! » « C'est toi qui devrais être mort ! L'héritage me revient de droit ! » Je suis morte les yeux grands ouverts, pleine d'amertume. Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux... j'ai entendu à nouveau les intrus défoncer la porte d'entrée...

While taking a trip to Ohio with her family 16-year-old Sakura tattoo receives a magic necklace containing the powers of a being known as the swordkeeper she must now use these powers to find magic weapons and save an alternate universe

By the time Nolan is five, I finally see the truth clearly. My husband, Justin Ford, does not love our son or me. Determined to end this disastrous marriage, I decide to leave with Nolan. But fate has other plans. A car accident leaves me with a lost kidney and Nolan missing an eye. In our darkest hour, the cold, indifferent Justin kneels in public, begging for forgiveness, promising to be a lifelong support for both our son and me. Nolan and I decide to give him a trial period of 100 days. If he passes, we will stay. On the 99th day, we stumble upon him speaking with the attending doctor. "Mr. Ford, you caused the accident on purpose to save Ms. Lloyd's child while taking organs from Mrs. Ford and Nolan. Was it really worth all that?" "It's worth it. I'll do whatever makes Suzanne happy." "What if Mrs. Ford and Mr. Nolan find out?" Justin falls silent for a moment, then instinctively touches his wedding ring. "They must never find out. All they want is a family, and I'll do everything I can to make it right," he says coldly. It turns out his entire act of repentance was nothing more than a carefully orchestrated lie. The happiness Nolan and I believed in was merely an illusion, designed to protect the one he truly cared for. Every gift came with a secret cost, and now, we are paying the price.

After being forced to give my wife's first love my heart, I died in the hallway of the private hospital she had personally founded. My six-year-old son, Ash, had already begged her thrice by the time I had drawn my last breath. The first time was when he tugged on her hand, saying I was coughing up blood. Sneering, she claimed, "So he's finally learned something—teaching his kid how to lie." Then, she had the bodyguards throw him out of the room. The second time was when he clung to her sleeve, insisting that I rambled nonsense due to the pain. "It's just a heart transplant," she opined with a frown. "The doctor already said he won't die." At that, the bodyguards stepped in again and dragged him away. The third time was when he fell to the ground, clutching her pant leg with all his strength, crying that I had already passed out. She finally lost her temper by this point, grabbing Ash by the throat and hurling him out of the room. "I have already said it—Howard isn't going to die. Dare to disturb Skye's rest again, and I'll throw both of you out of this hospital," she warned. To save me, my son pawned the most precious thing he owned—his St. Christopher medal—to a nurse. "Ma'am," he said. "I don't need to live a long life. I just want my dad to live." She accepted the medal and was about to arrange for me to be transferred to the last available room. However, my wife's first love, Skye Whitley, had someone block the doorway with his pet dog. He mentioned, "Sorry, kid. Your mom's worried I'll get bored if I can't see my dog. This room is reserved for him."

Rivergate's most elite social circle had always shared an unspoken rule. Men were free to play the field as they pleased, drifting from one woman to the next. Women, on the other hand, were only allowed a single, discreet indulgence on the day they came of age—a privately hired "life assistant" meant to take care of their physical needs. … On my coming-of-age day, I picked Elliot at first glance from a hundred applicants who came in for interviews. He wore gold-rimmed glasses, looked composed and restrained, and carried himself with a calm maturity that set him apart. He was steady, meticulous, and obsessively clean. The only condition he agreed to was that there would be no bodily contact—hands only. And after every encounter, he would scrub his hands with disinfectant alcohol a hundred times. Over five years, the empty bottles alone were enough to circle the villa seven times. I used to think that one day, I'd help him overcome his barriers and truly make him mine. That illusion shattered the night I got drunk and accidentally wandered into Elliot's room. Hidden beneath his pillow was a DV camera, and inside were several videos of him pleasuring himself. On the screen, the same man who had always been calm and rational with me was staring at the lingerie of the adopted sister who had caused my mother's death, his Adam's apple bobbing as he moaned her name, "Chloe… I love you…" Only then did I realize that every step he had taken toward me had never been about me at all. It had always been a carefully concealed, long-nurtured love for her. So, it was very odd that he cried when I took my adopted sister's place in marrying someone else.

On the fourth day after my son's death, I decided to secretly dissolve my military marriage with my husband. Before that, I had three days to settle everything for my son. On the first day, I tricked my husband into signing the cremation papers. On the second day, I went to the school and collected the textbooks my son would never get to use. On the third day, I cooked a table full of dishes and begged my husband to celebrate our son's last birthday. He agreed, but soon after claimed he had a mission. Instead, he spent the entire night setting off fireworks with his childhood sweetheart. That night, I cooked. Then, I sat alone before my son's photo and ate all my son's favorite foods. The next day, my husband returned, guilt flickering in his eyes as he handed me a brand-new backpack. He said it was a gift for our child's first day of school. But he didn't know—our child would never have a first day of school.

On the very night Finn Chapman's first love got divorced, he threw the ninety-ninth divorce agreement at me. "Lisa's heart is broken. She can't move on. I have to take care of her," he said. Even our seven-year-old son tried to persuade me. "You should just agree to the divorce and leave," he told me. "Let Lisa move in. We don't need a maid like you anymore." Both father and son were certain I'd scream, cry, beg them not to throw me out. But I didn't. I simply nodded, quietly signed my name on the divorce papers, and left. Ten years later, my son became the top scorer on the SATs. During an interview, a reporter asked him, "What has motivated you to study so hard all these years?" He went silent for a moment. Then, in front of everyone, his eyes turned red. "Because I wanted to tell my mom," he said, voice trembling, "I've grown up now. Will you come back? Please don't leave me again."

What would happen if the most powerful battlestar create escapades the cyclone extermination and instead ended up in a new universe?

Alors que j'étais enceinte de neuf mois, le premier amour de mon mari est venue s'installer chez nous sous un prétexte quelconque. Chaque fois qu'elle me voyait, elle se portait la poitrine, feignant une profonde tristesse. Mon mari était convaincu que je faisais exprès de montrer ma grossesse pour la provoquer. « Magali est trop fragile pour avoir des enfants ! Et toi, tu te balades tout le temps avec ton ventre bien visible devant elle, tu l'exaspères ! Sans une leçon, tu n'apprendras jamais ! » Puis, il a donné l'ordre qu'on me ferme dans un grenier abandonné depuis longtemps, interdisant à quiconque de m'apporter de la nourriture. J'ai supplié, lui expliquant que l'échographie montrait que les jumeaux que je portais étaient trop gros et que le médecin avait recommandé que je sois admise à l'hôpital immédiatement. Mais il a éclaté de rire, comme si c'était une blague. Sa voix était aussi froide que la glace : « Tu as encore trois jours avant ton terme ! Ne viens pas jouer la victime ! Va dans le grenier et réfléchis à ce que tu as fait ! Voilà le prix à payer pour avoir embêté Magali ! » Les contractions étaient tellement douloureuses que mes ongles se brisaient, mais personne n'est venue m'ouvrir. Mes cris déchirants résonnaient dans le grenier pendant un long moment. Finalement, je suis morte en couches, avec mes deux enfants, dans ce sombre grenier. Trois jours plus tard, mon mari, buvant une soupe qui ne lui plaisait pas, s'est souvenu enfin de moi. Il a dit : « Demande à Jade de venir me préparer une soupe, puis envoie-la présenter des excuses à Magali. Si elle est sincère, elle pourra aller à l'hôpital pour accoucher. » Personne n'a osé lui répondre, car le sang, qui s'était répandu du grenier, avait atteint la deuxième marche du palier…
