Solo Leveling Daggers

In my past life, my boyfriend's childhood sweetheart, Kimberly Thatcher, claimed to be Lady Luck. She insisted on handing out sachets to keep our team safe for a hike. I, Priscilla Jensen, caught the scent and realized the sachets were stuffed with herbs that would attract wolves. So, I stepped in to stop her, saving everyone from an attack. But Kimberly thought I was looking down on her sachets, and that I was targeting her on purpose. Though she was the leader, she stormed off from the group in anger. We searched the forest under the raging storm. In the end, someone broke a leg, someone else was strangled by poisonous vines, and my shoulder was torn open. By dawn, we found Kimberly's corpse at the bottom of a valley. … On the seventh day after her death, her memorial service became an ambush. While everyone mourned for her, their eyes were fixed on me. My boyfriend, Fabian Lowell, was the first to lash out. He ripped off his bandage, revealing his wound. "If you hadn't stopped Kimberly from giving us those sachets, none of this would have happened! How dare you show up to her memorial service?" he yelled. Everyone turned to glare daggers at me. Suddenly, someone shouted, "It's all your fault! You're the reason we ended up like this! Go to hell!" In the next second, they hurled a pot of boiling stew at me. Then they set the private room ablaze and burned me alive. … When I open my eyes again, I'm back on the day of the hike.

Me compré un hombre bestia de servicio de élite, pero a mí no me quería. Solo le movía la cola a mi hermana. Así que después, llevé a casa a otro de desahogo inferior. Y él… se puso tan desesperado que casi llora. —¡Clara! ¡Tú solo puedes tener un perrito… y ese he de ser yo!

“When I pictured what today would look like, it never involved me standing here, alone at the alter, humiliated, as the prying eyes of guests etched at me like daggers and hushed whispers rose amongst them, with the collective gasps of disbelief. And worse, the whole world was watching this LIVE on every local news channel”. *********************** Hi my name is Clarissa, and my perfect fairytale just turned into a public nightmare. One night before my wedding, I was drugged and woke up in a strange place. Confused, late, and barely holding myself together, I still showed up in my gown, ready to marry the man I loved. Only to be left standing at the altar. Alone. Humiliated and Live on every local news channel. But that's not even the cherry on top. The real heartbreak? Is that not only did he ditch me, but I caught him later…..in bed, sexually tangled in my sister's arms. My blood. So I did what any broken, furious woman would do. I turned to the one man who could ruin him, His powerful, dangerously sexy billionaire father, Victor Gonzales. It was supposed to be a game. A scandalous way to burn them both. But Victor isn’t a man you use and walk away from. He’s older. Smarter. Wickedly dominant. And he’s made it clear, if I play with fire, I will get burned. Now, I’m caught in a forbidden game of lust, lies, and revenge. And the more I fall for him, the harder it becomes to remember who’s using who. He was meant to be a pawn. But he just might become my greatest temptation….and my deepest downfall.

Acepté cambiarme de escuela junto a mi amiga de la infancia, a quien acosaban constantemente, pero ella se retractó el último día. —No puedo creer que fingieras que te acosaban todo este tiempo solo para deshacerte de Harry —se burló su amiga—. Es tu amigo de la infancia. ¿En serio vas a dejar que se vaya solo a otra escuela? —Es solo otra preparatoria en esta ciudad. ¿Qué tan lejos podría estar? —dijo Lena sin ganas—. Ya me harté de que siempre esté cerca de mí. Solo quería distanciarme de él. Me quedé parado frente a la puerta un largo rato ese día, antes de decidir darme la vuelta e irme. Sin embargo, en la solicitud de transferencia, en lugar de escribir Preparatoria Haleswood, anoté el nombre de la escuela a la que mis padres querían que asistiera, la cual estaba en el extranjero. Parecía que todos habían olvidado que, desde el primer momento, Lena y yo pertenecíamos a mundos totalmente distintos.

It's hard to tell who has your back, from who has it long enough just to stab you in it.... "Why are you making it so difficult?" I screeched on top of my lungs. God, why does he have to make everything so difficult? "I'm your boss and you're responsible to follow my orders. You have no authority to defy me." He snarled, his hands balled into fists. "Are you even listening to your baseless blabbering?" "Shut the up!" He roared with pure antagonism and fisted his hand on the glass painting that hung by the wall. I gasped at the sight of glasses shattered into tiny pieces, droplets of blood oozing down his knuckles. His jaw was clenched as he shot daggers to my eyes, not because of the pain that was inflicted from the quick punch, but the remembrance of my betrayal. ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ Mystery.

El día de mi compromiso, él quiso irse solo porque Violeta Mendizábal quería comer empanadas caseras hechas por él. Intenté detenerlo, pero me respondió con una bofetada. —Solo es un compromiso, lo podemos hacer otro día. ¿Y si Violeta se queda con hambre? Incluso mi hermano me regañó, como si yo fuera la culpable: —Tú eres mayor que Violeta, ¿no puedes ceder un poco? No respondí. Solo me di la vuelta y lo dejé ir. Pensando que era solo una rabieta mía, no le dieron importancia, y cancelaron todos sus compromisos para poder pasear con Violeta por montañas y playas. Recién medio mes después se acordaron de mí. Cuando por fin intentaron contactarme, se enteraron de que ya había ingresado a un programa confidencial del Estado, un proyecto de investigación de armas estratégicas que duraría diez años… Y que no pensaba volver jamás.

You have no right to do so!” He spat, taking a step forward and jabbing his index finger painfully into her shoulder, making her take several steps back. “Bare this in mind, Leonica Romero, if not for the wishes of my late grandmother, I’d much rather be dead than associate myself with somebody like you.” *~*~* *~*~* Leonica Romero has always had a long time crush on Gabriel Bryce, CEO of Bryce Empire and Norway’s Business tyrant.

Mi esposo, comandante del batallón, me prometió que solo acompañaría noventa y nueve veces a su “amor de juventud”, Paula Ferrer, cuando su depresión se descontrolara. Pero cuando terminé de contar las noventa y nueve veces, lo vi abrazándola, él la sostenía fuertemente entre sus brazos. Después de eso, dejé de llorar y de intentar detenerlo cada vez que iba a buscarla. Solo le pedí un amuleto de protección como regalo para el hijo que estaba por nacer. Cuando mencioné al bebé, su expresión se suavizó un poco, era suave y tierna. —Espérame, volveré e iré contigo al hospital para el control prenatal. Yo solo asentí obediente. No le dije que, diez días atrás, ya había presentado la solicitud de divorcio en el registro civil. Ahora, estamos divorciados.

La chica que Iván Herrera mantenía volvió a buscarme para hacer una escena. —De verdad amo demasiado a Iván… ¿no podrías dejar que se quede conmigo? Él, sentado a un lado, no dijo nada. Solo me envió un mensaje: «Dile que sí, solo hazle creer que tiene una oportunidad.» Le seguí la corriente. Y, en silencio, empecé a empacar mis cosas para dejar la casa que compartíamos. Al salir, escuché las burlas de sus amigos. —Vaya, sí que es obediente la «esposa». Entonces si le pides que pierda al bebé, ¿también lo haría? Iván alzó las cejas, con calma. —¿Apostamos? —Yo digo que en una semana estará llorando frente al hospital… pero lo hará. Yo no dije nada. Solo abrí otro chat, leí el último mensaje: «¿Quieres casarte conmigo?» Y respondí: «Sí.»

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!
