Solo Level

She's perfect. Kind, beautiful, and hardworking. Scholar din siya sa isang prehistisyosong unibersidad na kilala bilang paaralan ng mga mayayaman. Marami ang nagkakahumaling sa kaniya, pero dahil sa mahirap siya, ay nalalait siya. Because a girl like her shouldn't be studying in a school na hindi ka level ng kaniyang estado sa buhay. Ilang beses at halos araw-araw na siyang binubully, pero dahil sa pangarap na gusto niyang maabot, nagtiis siya. But never did she knows na hindi lang iyon ang pagdadaanan niya. Isang araw, dumating ang SSC council president at nakita ang SSC secretary na pasimuno sa pambubully kay Hailey. Pinaglaban nito si Hailey at sinibak sa pwesto ang mapangahas na bully. Hindi lang 'yun, pinag drop out din sa school due to violence. Lubos ang galit ng mga bully kay Hailey. Dahil kay Hailey napasibak sila at napahiya. Kaya naman, sinet up nila si Hailey at ibenenta sa isang grupo sa bar. She was raped. Hindi niya alam kung sino. Hanggang sa isang hindi inaasahan na pangyayari, nasangkot siya sa isang situwasyon kung saan muntikan na niyang ikamatay. And someone happened to save her. She owed her life to him. But this man wants her as the collateral. Gusto siya nitong maging role play girlfriend nito para lang mapatigil ang ina nito sa kaka appoint ng mga babae. Pero papaano kung malaman niya na ang lalaking ito ay ang rapist niya pala no'ng gabing binenta siya at ng mismong ama ng kaniyang dinadala? Magagawa pa ba niyang mapatawad ito?

El mismo día en que confirmó su nuevo embarazo, Valeria Soto hizo otro descubrimiento devastador: su esposo, Javier Vega, ya compartía un hogar con Alicia Castillo, la joven becaria de escasos recursos a quien ella misma había ayudado. Resultaba que, mientras Valeria se consumía en la aflicción por la pérdida de su hijo, Javier celebraba con su amante el nacimiento de su vástago. Resultaba que la compañía que ella había fundado con sus propias manos, ya había sido usurpada por la amante. Resultaba que incluso la casa conyugal, que creía su exclusiva, tenía una réplica idéntica que Javier había construido para la otra. En ese instante, todo rastro de amor por Javier se esfumó de su pecho, dejando solo un odio denso y amargo. Valeria escondió el informe de embarazo y exigió el divorcio con una frialdad decisiva. Pero Javier, con su tono autoritario de siempre, respondió: —Valeria, si te arrepientes y me suplicas ahora, puedo hacer como que ese acuerdo de divorcio no existe. Ella se volvió para marcharse, lanzando con serenidad: —Señor Vega, nos vemos en la oficina del registro civil para el divorcio. Tiempo después, fue Javier quien finalmente bajó su orgullosa cabeza. Frente a una Valeria renovada e impresionante, suplicó con arrepentimiento que volviera a mirarlo siquiera una vez. Ella, sin embargo, solo esbozó una sonrisa distante: —Señor Vega, llegó demasiado tarde. Ya nunca más latirá mi corazón por usted.

Pasé tres años enamorada de Santiago Mendoza, el mejor amigo de mi hermano. Él jamás quiso hacer pública nuestra relación. Pero nunca dudé de su amor. Después de todo, tras haber estado con 99 mujeres, desde que estaba conmigo ni siquiera miraba a otras. Incluso si solo era un simple resfriado, él dejaba proyectos de millones de dólares en el acto y volaba a casa para cuidarme. Llegó mi cumpleaños. Feliz, me preparaba para contarle a Santiago que estaba embarazada. Pero por primera vez, se olvidó por completo de mi cumpleaños y desapareció sin dejar rastro. La sirviente me dijo que había ido al aeropuerto a recibir a alguien muy importante. Me dirigí al aeropuerto. Allí lo vi, con un ramo de flores en las manos y el rostro tenso, esperando a una joven. Una joven que se parecía mucho a mí. Más tarde, mi hermano me contó que ella era el primer amor que Santiago nunca podría olvidar. Santiago se enfrentó a sus padres por ella, y cuando ella lo dejó, perdió la cabeza y buscó 99 parecidas para sobrellevar el dolor. Mi hermano lo dijo con admiración, conmovido por lo profundo que podía ser Santiago. Lo que no sabía era que su propia hermana era solo una más entre esas sombras del pasado. Los observé a los dos durante un largo, largo rato. Luego, di media vuelta y volví al hospital. —Doctor, no quiero tener a este bebé.

Renacida como la heredera perdida de los Rogers, estuve perdida por quince años, evité cada oportunidad de crear lazos con mis dos hermanos en esta familia. Cuando me tiraron el vestido desechado y mal ajustado de Vivi para la gala familiar, sonreí y me lo puse. Cuando enviaron a Vivi a recibir una educación de élite mientras me ordenaban fregar el cuarto de servicio, tomé el trapeador sin decir una palabra. Cuando dejaron que Vivi buscara el amor y me dejaron a su pretendiente rechazado, no luché. Acepté sus sobras con un gesto tranquilo. Todo esto era porque en mi vida pasada, había pasado toda mi existencia desesperada por la aprobación de mis hermanos, solo para terminar siendo despreciada por todos. Cuando morí en el fuego cruzado de un tiroteo entre bandas, mi propio hijo empujó mi cuerpo con asco. —Mamá, ¿de verdad desperdiciaste toda tu vida en una pelea tan insignificante con la tía Vivi? Morir por la familia hubiera sido un final más digno. Al menos así no habrías deshonrado nuestro nombre. Dejé este mundo llena de resentimiento, solo para abrir los ojos y encontrarme de vuelta en el momento en que puse un pie por primera vez en la mansión Rogers. Esta vez, he terminado de luchar. El poder, el nombre y el honor. Les dejo que lo tengan todo. Ya me aceptaron en un proyecto médico a puerta cerrada. Pronto no volverán a verme.
