Se-mi Squid Game

“I want a divorce.” The room stilled. “Excuse me?” His voice was silk wrapped around steel. “What did you just say?” “You heard me.” I said, getting up from the bed, holding the sheets tightly around my body as I walked towards the dresser. I opened the drawer and pulled out the divorce paper, handing it to him. His eyes darkened. “I want a divorce…” ******************* Be with perfect Luna, they said. Be the lover. The wife. The friend… But what happens when a Luna no longer wants to be? It is a challenge, an outbreak, and a direct offense to the order. And Alpha Xavier… well, he was never known to like rules being broken… Unless it was him breaking them.

When war orphan Alexei Volkov flees Russia to Belgium, survival means stealing scraps until a mob nearly burns him alive. Rescued by Lucien Devereux, the ruthless Capo of Brussels’ underworld, Alexei is thrust into a world of blood, secrets, and power. Trained as an assassin and spy, he becomes indispensable—until a mystical ring from his uncle in India makes every man who sees him fall hopelessly in love. Soon, the Capo, the Mayor, the Police Inspector, and even the Governor crave for him. Is it love or a curse? And in a city drowning in obsession, who will Alexei choose?

For twins Ethel and Elise, the line between dream and nightmare was always thin—and on Paron Island, it has been completely erased. Their idyllic gap year, a sun-soaked mosaic of beach bonfires and reckless abandon, is shattered in an instant. A "project," as the panicked news reports cryptically call it, has gone horrifically wrong, releasing a pathogen that reanimates the dead with a singular, gruesome purpose: to feed. The sisters' bond, once defined by shared secrets and sibling rivalry, is now their only anchor in a world drowning in blood. Driven by a raw, primal instinct to protect each other, they join forces with a few other fortunate—or unfortunate—souls who survived the initial onslaught. Together, this makeshift family must navigate the ruins of their former paradise, where every shadow hides a potential threat and every human sound could be a lure. Ethel, the more cautious sister, finds a hidden strength in strategy, while Elise's impulsive nature becomes both a weapon and a liability. But their fight against the decaying hordes is only the surface of the terror. Whispers of a coordinated presence, of supplies that go missing too conveniently, and of strangers who seem to know too much, point to a more insidious truth: the island's collapse was not a random tragedy. They are being hunted by something that thinks, that plans, that wears a human face. As their hope for rescue dwindles, Ethel and Elise are forced to confront the ultimate horror—that in the midst of an apocalypse, the most monstrous creatures of all are still human.

“Get away from me,” I hissed, gripping the knife tighter. His gaze flicked down to the blade, then back to me, a slow, amused smile curving his lips. “A knife?” he said softly, tilting his head. “Are you perhaps flirting with me?” I gritted my teeth. The asshole was enjoying this — every fucking second of it. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ When Leah got home early from work, she was hoping for one thing — to fix what was left of her relationship with Daniel.

Con nueve meses de embarazo, un exempleado, que guardaba un profundo rencor tras haber sido despedido para darle ese puesto a mi esposo, me llevó a la fuerza a la azotea del edificio y me asestó decenas de puñaladas. Mi marido, Víctor Escobar, capitán de un escuadrón de rescate, prefirió movilizar a todo su personal para impedir que Raquel Herrera, su exnovia, sumida en una depresión, le prendiera fuego a su departamento. No le supliqué que viniera a rescatarme. En mi vida anterior, precisamente porque lo había llamado suplicándole ayuda, él había dejado desprotegida a Raquel y había ido corriendo a salvarme. Mi bebé y yo logramos sobrevivir, pero ella, después de prenderle fuego a su departamento, murió consumida por el incendio. En apariencia, Víctor no me había guardado ningún rencor. Incluso llegó a reservarme una suite de maternidad privada. Sin embargo, el mismo día que di a luz, me amarró ¡y nos acuchilló sin piedad, a mí y a mi bebé recién nacido! —¡Ese día tú y ese tipo se pusieron de acuerdo para engañarme, ¿no es así?! ¡Tus «heriditas» no eran nada graves! ¡Ni de chiste te ibas a morir! —exclamó, fuera de sí—. ¡Pues, si tanto te encanta que te apuñalen, entonces, te daré el gusto! Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, había regresado al día en que me habían tomado como rehén. Pero, esta vez, tomé una decisión: lo dejaría correr para salvar a su Raquel.

Mi novio insistió en escalar de noche la montaña nevada para ver la cascada. Ese mismo día, resbalé y caí desde la cima. Al despertar, descubrí que no solo sufría amnesia, sino que también había perdido una pierna. Incluso mi novio se había convertido en el esposo de mi hermana. De repente, todos me abandonaron. Solo Samuel, mi psicólogo, me guió con paciencia y cuidado. Cuando me propuso matrimonio con flores y un anillo frente a todo el personal médico, creí ver al ángel que había venido a salvarme. Pero seis meses después de casarnos, lo escuché por casualidad hablando con su amigo: —Samuel, parece que la hipnosis de este año ha sido un éxito. Ya ayudaste a Valeria a obtener lo que quería, ¿para qué dar un paso más y casarte con Sofía? —¿Crees que lo deseaba? Es solo por si recupera la memoria y podría hacerle daño a Valeria. Así la vigilo de cerca. —¿Merece la pena hacer tanto por Valeria? Ya antes limpiaste todos sus desastres, ¿y ahora usas a Sofía para eso…? —Haría lo que fuera con tal de ver feliz a Valeria. Samuel apagó el cigarrillo con fuerza y, tras un largo silencio, respondió lentamente: —Además, solo es prestar un vientre… ¡Aprovechar lo inservible!
