Sea Breeze

I have my headphones on as I direct flight routes. A pilot named Everett Wright suddenly switches into the voice channel I'm on. Then, he publicly mocks me for being inept in bed. "Hey, Jacob! Your wife said you're practically hopeless in bed and that you're done in just a second! Are you seriously a one-second shooter? Ahahaha!" When the rest of the crew hear Everett's words, they can't stop themselves from laughing too. Thinking that this isn't humiliating enough for me, Everett flicks on a private channel purposefully. I can hear my wife, Charlotte O'Brien, suppressing her moans and pants. "Hurry up, honey! Why did you switch to my husband's channel? Stop messing around and just turn it off already!" Charlotte's voice is tinged with a hint of affection. She doesn't care about whether or not I got humiliated—she just enjoys the thrill of being able to flirt with her lover in public.

"Miss Summers, are you sure you want to erase all your identity records? Once erased, it will be as if you never existed, and no one will be able to find you." Adele paused for a moment before nodding resolutely. "Yes, that's exactly what I want. I want no one to find me." There was a hint of surprise on the other end of the line, but they quickly responded, "Understood, Miss Summers. The process will take about two weeks to complete. Please wait patiently."

While preparing for the SATs at the library, my brother is accidentally shot and injured, causing him to bleed profusely. I pass by this scene but turn a blind eye and quicken my pace to leave. This is because in my previous life, when I saw him, I rushed him to the hospital in a panic. He had intracranial hemorrhaging, and he urgently needed surgery. I quickly called my mom, the top neurosurgeon in the city, begging her to come to the hospital as soon as possible. However, she thought I was jealous that she had taken my adopted sister to the beach instead of spending time with me. She also believed I had fabricated the story about my brother's injury, and thus refused to return. By the time my dad and the rest of the family hurried to the hospital, it was too late for rescue efforts—my brother had passed away. The whole family blamed me for his death. They were convinced that I had deliberately misled my mom and delayed his critical treatment. When my mom returned from out of town, she lost her composure and pushed me down the stairs, watching coldly as I bled to death. After opening my eyes again, I had returned to the day my brother was shot at the library.

Toda véspera de Natal, o herdeiro da família mafiosa Marco, Adrian Marco, deve seguir a tradição da família: sortear um nome para decidir se pode se casar comigo ou não. Porque eu, Irene Cast, não nasci na máfia. A menos que ele tire o papel com o meu nome, ele não pode me tomar como esposa. Por quatro anos, Adrian sorteou quatro vezes. E nenhuma vez saiu o meu nome. Sempre acreditei que ele brigava com a família por minha causa, que estava disposto a arriscar perder o posto de Don só para me escolher. Toda vez que falhava, ele me abraçava com força e sussurrava: – Tudo bem. Sempre tem o ano que vem. E eu o amava tanto que doía. Doía a ponto de eu aceitar esperar, ano após ano. Este ano, eu disse a mim mesma: Se ele ainda não tirar meu nome… vou trocar o resultado em segredo. Cheguei de mansinho à porta do escritório de Adrian e ouvi seu irmão mais novo perguntar: – Don… todo ano você tira o nome da Irene. Por que finge que não saiu? É porque você ainda não conseguiu deixar a Sera ir? E ele apenas respondeu, com a voz fria: – A Sera precisa de mim para algo urgente. Faça como sempre: troque o nome da Irene por um papel em branco. Ele saiu sem olhar para trás. Em vez de trocar, o irmão jogou o papel em branco no lixo, deixou o papel com meu nome sobre a mesa e saiu apressado atrás de Adrian. Entrei no escritório, peguei o papel em branco do lixo e substituí pelo que tinha meu nome. Observei meu próprio nome cair na lixeira. Adrian… eu não quero mais esperar e casar com você. Vou te conceder a sua escolha.

Jedes Jahr an Heiligabend musste der Erbe der Marco-Mafiafamilie – Adrian Marco – einer Familientradition folgen: Er zog einen Namen, der darüber entschied, ob er mich heiraten durfte. Denn ich, Irene Cast, stammte nicht aus einer Mafiafamilie. Nur wenn er meinen Namen zog, durfte er mich zur Frau nehmen. Vier Jahre lang hatte Adrian viermal einen Zettel gezogen. Und kein einziges Mal hatte er meinen Namen gezogen. Ich hatte immer geglaubt, er hätte sich meinetwegen mit seiner Familie überworfen, dass er sogar bereit gewesen war, seine Position als Don zu riskieren, nur um mich zu wählen. Jedes Mal, wenn es nicht klappte, hielt er mich fest und flüsterte: „Ist schon gut. Wir haben noch nächstes Jahr.“ Und ich liebte ihn so sehr, dass es wehtat. So sehr, dass ich bereit war zu warten, Jahr für Jahr. Dieses Jahr sagte ich mir: Wenn er meinen Namen immer noch nicht zieht… werde ich das Ergebnis heimlich vertauschen. Ich schlich zur Tür von Adrians Arbeitszimmer und hörte, wie sein jüngerer Bruder fragte: „Don … jedes Jahr ziehst du tatsächlich Irenes Namen. Warum tust du so, als hättest du es nicht? Liegt es daran, dass du Sera immer noch nicht loslassen kannst?“ Doch er sagte nur mit ausdrucksloser Stimme: „Sera braucht mich dringend. Mach es wie immer: Tausch Irenes Namen gegen einen leeren Zettel aus.“ Er ging hinaus, ohne sich umzudrehen. Anstatt zu tauschen, warf sein Bruder den leeren Zettel in den Papierkorb, ließ den mit meinem Namen auf dem Tisch liegen und eilte Adrian hinterher. Ich ging hinein, holte den leeren Zettel aus dem Papierkorb und tauschte ihn gegen den mit meinem Namen. Ich sah zu, wie mein eigener Name in den Müll fiel. Adrian … ich will nicht länger warten. Ich werde dich nicht heiraten. Ich erfülle dir deine Wahl.
