Sans To The Bone

When I turn 18, my family suddenly strikes gold. Dad makes a fortune in business. We move into a huge house with a driver and a housekeeper. My younger brother, Vincent Becker, is sent to study in Basmar. After that, he graduates and marries a rich heiress. Their partnership makes our family's business soar. I'm the only one who misses my college entrance exam because of stomach cramps, and my parents marry me off to a lonely man in some rundown countryside. He locks me in a basement and hurts me every single day. I crawl my way back home, half-alive, but my parents only look at me with disgust. "Useless brat! How did you not die out there?" Vincent says that he'll take me out to clear my head. Instead, he shoves me in front of a truck. I'm rushed to the ICU with nearly every bone in my body broken. Right before I die, he leans down in his designer suit and whispers in my ear. "Let me tell you the truth before you die. Our family didn't get rich from business. We got rich because of the hundred-million-dollar lottery ticket you bought. "We cashed it behind your back and never told you." I die full of resentment, and right after my death, they sell my organs for 120 thousand dollars. I open my eyes, and suddenly I'm there again—to the very day I bought the lottery ticket.

The day my adopted sister Xina was diagnosed with a rare blood disease, I was captured by rival pack hunters and taken across pack territories. In a hidden den beneath the mountains, I was chained like an omega during the day and subjected to endless humiliation. At night, they locked me in a moonless chamber and extracted my blood and bone marrow while I was conscious. By the time my pack found me, my body was broken beyond recognition, covered in bite marks, and infected with numerous diseases that even our supernatural healing couldn't combat. My mother, Alpha Serena, looked at me barely clinging to life, and howled so painfully she collapsed several times. My brother Ivan even traveled beyond our ancestral lands to find healers who could treat me. But in my half-conscious state, I accidentally overheard their conversation: "Mother, we captured Lisa just to save Xina, and let her be violated by so many rogues. Now we're taking one of her kidneys too—isn't that going to kill her?" Mother was silent for a long time, then choked up and said: "For Xina, I had no choice." "Besides, Lisa challenged Xina's rank all these years, made her severely depressed. This is just me atoning to Xina on her behalf." "It doesn't matter if she's been tainted. From now on, we'll keep her in the packhouse and take care of her. That'll count as compensation." As the silver blade sliced into my body, tears streamed uncontrollably from my eyes. A den with four wolves... was simply too crowded.

Layla ended her relationship with her boyfriend and decided to focus on her life and also planned to raise some money to save her best friend's life who was diagnosed with chronic ulcer. And the only way to get some such money was to apply for a application in the biggest film company in the city ... White Wolf. Layla finally got the dream she wanted but, unfortunately, things didn't go the way she wanted after she had encountered herself in a terrible situation with the president of the company. In the midst of losing her . She was given an irresistible offer by the president. She had to pretend to be his fiancee for two months and started living with him. Since she couldn't reject the offer, she accepted it. It was the only way for her to keep her and get more money for her friend's treatment. but unknown to her, it was more than she thought. There was a secret behind this president and she was the answer to this secret. The next day, Layla arrived at his house. She was shocked to the bone at what she saw. There was someone else standing close to the president who looked exactly like him! "The contract is for you... just you, right?" Her heart stopped again as she waited for him to give her an answer. " You didn't read it?" He asked with a smirk. Blood drained from Layla's face. "You are our fiancee and we will be spending time together. Oh, and he is my twin brother. Lucius and Darius Winston, welcome to the family" he said with a mysterious grins on his face.

On the day my husband married my younger sister, I once again heard the divine message from the Astral Sanctuary: if I sever all ties to the mortal world within three days, I can reclaim the astral power I relinquished and return to the Astral Sanctuary. On the first day, I publicly cut my hair to symbolize the severing of love and signed the separation letter, ending my three-year marriage to the man I once loved. Holding my sister in his arms, he looked at me with disdain. His words dripped with mockery as he called me petty and jealous, claiming that sparing me the title of an equal wife had been his greatest act of kindness. On the second day, I drove a blade into myself six times, severing my bond with my cherished elder brother. He stood by, cold and unfeeling, sneering that I was nothing more than a desperate fool, resorting to theatrics to compete for his affection—a devotion he reserved entirely for my sister. On the third day, I clenched my teeth and carved through my own flesh and bone, severing my connection to the parents who had given me life. Enraged, they called me ungrateful and declared I was unworthy—not just of being their daughter, but even of being compared to my perfect sister. In the end, I succumbed to exhaustion and blood loss. My spirit ascended to the Astral Sanctuary, where I reclaimed my true identity as an Astral Maiden. When my family discovered my lifeless body left behind in the mortal realm, they all descended into madness.

On the way home during the holidays, my fiance's sister-in-law, Pamela Kensington, brings out an electric pot that requires 2,000 watts in order to function so that she can cook some meatballs. "The sockets in the electric car are meant for us to use, no? If we can't have hot food during our trips, then what's the use of having an electric car in the first place?" My fiance, Mason Vance, who is driving, doesn't bother to stop Pamela. Instead, he helps her fill up the pot with water while smiling. In my previous life, I had strictly stopped them from cooking meatballs and told them that we didn't have enough power left in the electric car. If they were to cook the meatballs, the car would stop in the middle of the journey, and we wouldn't be able to make it home. Pamela, who tagged along for the ride, thought that I refused to let her son have a piping hot meal, so she began criticizing me. Mason, on the other hand, thought that I was being too much of a busybody. He slapped me in front of everyone before pushing me out of the car. I was frozen to the bone in the blizzard as I watched everyone else leave me behind happily. In the end, I died from hypothermia. When I woke up again, I realized I'd returned to the moment when Pamela is about to plug the electric pot into the socket. This time, I hand her a power strip. "Go ahead and use this power strip. It can channel more power for your meatballs to cook quickly."

I get sent away to the countryside because my parents fear that I'll use my privileged background to lord over others. In turn, they're taking in Tina from that family to the city for her upbringing and schooling. In the countryside, I get up at 4:00 am daily to feed the pigs, then it's a grueling three-hour trek through the mountains to school. I'm also barely surviving due to constant malnutrition. I reach out to my parents for a mere 300 dollars for tuition, only for them to accuse me of spending recklessly. In the meantime, they're donating an entire building just to secure a spot for Tina at her preferred school. I finally make it into Tina's high school and earn a guaranteed university admission spot, only for my parents to order me to hand it over to her as they unleash their fury on me, yelling, "You're clearly bad to the bone, always trying to take things that belong to Tina." "Tina almost gave up on life because of what you did. You're indebted to her for the rest of your life." They, using their parental rights, forfeit my guaranteed university admission spot to fulfill Tina's wish. They then transfer all company shares and real estate to her for her future security, while the whole family makes arrangements to move abroad together. I take in everything before me, no longer feeling hurt. I calmly pack my belongings and walk away from the place where I don't belong.

Mon père était le Don de la famille Moretti, le parrain qui régnait sur tout l'empire mafieux. Ma mère était à la tête de la famille Carter et présidente de la société multinationale Carter. Ils m'avaient choisi deux fiancés. Le premier, c'était Damian, le PDG mondialement renommé de la société Agis. Le second, c'était Caesar, un homme redoutable qui contrôlait tout le trafic d'armes du milieu. Le jour du banquet de mes vingt ans, celui que je choisirais d'épouser deviendrait le parrain régnant sur tout l'empire mafieux. Tout le monde avait été sous le choc quand j'avais choisi Caesar, sans la moindre hésitation. J'aimais Damian profondément depuis l'enfance, et j'avais même juré de n'épouser que lui. Mais ils ignoraient que je revenais du futur. Dans ma vie passée, j'avais épousé Damian, comme je le souhaitais. Pourtant, le soir même de notre mariage, il m'avait trompée avec ma femme de chambre. Ensuite, ma famille l'avait découvert et avait renvoyé la domestique. Ils l'avaient chassée de la maison. Damian m'en avait voulu pour ça. Quand je suis tombée enceinte, il ramenait une femme différente chaque nuit et couchait avec elle, juste devant moi. Même le jour où je me suis battue pour accoucher dans des conditions terribles, il avait fait détourner toutes les ressources médicales. Il avait ignoré mes supplications, et il avait fini par me faire mourir, moi et mon enfant à naître, dans une agonie atroce. De retour dans le passé, j'avais décidé de lui rendre sa liberté. Sans y réfléchir, j'ai choisi mon autre fiancé : Caesar. Mais je ne m'attendais pas à une chose… Damian aussi était revenu à la vie.
