"Mrs. Gardner, are you sure you want to hire our team to stage a fire and fake your death in ten days?" Camellia Shaw paused for a moment. Just as she was about to reply to the message, a video call suddenly popped up. "Camellia, look! Andres is spending a fortune on you again!" The video was of an auction in progress. At the front, a man of striking elegance and charm was decisively bidding on several antique collectibles worth hundreds of millions. The crowd was already abuzz with excitement. "Mr. Gardner is so good to his wife! He bought all these antiques just to make her smile!" "$400 million is nothing! I heard Mr. Gardner even built her a private estate and named it Eterna Haven. Just the name alone is proof of how much he loves her." A wealthy businessman nearby sneered. "It's all for show. Who knows what he's really like behind closed doors?" That comment immediately sparked a wave of backlash. Many argued back, talking about how devoted Andres Gardner was to his wife. As she listened to their murmurs, Camellia forced a bitter smile.

My parents died when I was ten years old, but a big shot in Jade City adopted me. It was rumored that Sean Graham was a cruel and violent man, but he doted on me for nearly ten years. He booked the advertising screens in the city to celebrate my birthday and promised to marry me when I got drunk and pestered him about it. I called him Uncle Sean at his request. Fear gripped me when I woke up in his bed every morning, but I kept it a secret. Yet one time, we accidentally slept with each other. I got pregnant with his child and wanted to keep it, but I knew I would not live for much longer. One day, I heard his conversation with a servant. “Clean up Zella’s room for Yulia.” “But Mr. Graham, Miss Cooper has been staying there for ten years. Didn’t you design it for her?” “No, I only let her stay there because Yulia had gone abroad.” I touched my belly as disappointment gripped me. It turned out that the man who had promised to provide me with a home as long as he lived wanted to drive me away.

Ketika kamu merasa berada di titik paling menyakitkan, tapi kamu bingung untuk berpegang pada siapa, sedangkan orang yang kamu beri kepercayaan enggan untuk mengulurkan tangan nya padamu. Sakit pasti, memaksa pun sudah tidak ada gunanya, keperdulian harus datang sendirinya, bukan karena paksaan orang lain. Disaat seperti itu, lelah akan semakin bertambah, mati selalu jadi titik paling akhir yang diharapkan, kehidupan yang dirasa tak cukup adil, takdir seolah mempermainkan, nyatanya rasa sabar itu yang melemah. Hati mu mengeras, jika saja kamu berada di titik tenang, maka kamu akan damai dengan segalanya, yakin bahwa Tuhan tak Pernah pergi dari sisimu. Nayra

No dia em que minha irmã gêmea, Alexia Cavanaugh, e eu completamos vinte e dois anos, eu desmaiei e descobri que tinha câncer em estágio terminal. Ignorando a recomendação do médico para ser internada, saí do hospital. Tudo o que eu queria era passar um último aniversário com minha família, sem preocupações. Mas quando cheguei à festa, uma funcionária me impediu na porta e disse que o local havia sido reservado exclusivamente para Alexia. Pessoas de fora não tinham permissão para entrar. Através do vidro, observei meu irmão segurando o bolo enquanto meu pai colocava um chapéu de aniversário na cabeça de Alexia. Até meu namorado estava lá, sorrindo enquanto ela fazia um pedido. Fiquei parada ali por meia hora, segurando o celular, até que meu namorado finalmente atendeu minha ligação. — Eu estava no hospital agora há pouco. Eu— Ele me interrompeu. — Ophelia, você sempre foi saudável. Hoje era o aniversário da Lexi. A gente conversava depois. Mas aquele dia não era meu aniversário também? Minha mãe morreu ao me dar à luz. Mais tarde, o médico explicou que eu havia absorvido mais nutrientes no útero, deixando Alexia frágil desde o início. E, assim, todos decidiram que eu deveria sempre ceder à minha irmã gêmea, que nasceu cinco minutos antes de mim. Amassei o laudo com o diagnóstico de câncer e o joguei no lixo. Cansei de deixar o favoritismo deles me machucar. Nunca recebi o amor deles mesmo. Então, daquela vez, eu escolhi ir embora. Para sempre.

Four days after my death, my four-year-old daughter finally sensed that something was terribly wrong. The fridge door slammed into her forehead when she tried to get a snack. Normally, I would've been there in a heartbeat—arms open, kisses ready, whispering, "You're okay, sweetheart, Mommy's here." But this time, I just lay on the bed, cold and still.​ She didn't understand. She thought the sweet treat would make me respond. So she held the final piece of chocolate up to my mouth. "Here, Mommy. Have some chocolate..." But I didn't even blink. She climbed into my arms, clutching my clothes tightly. "Mommy... Mommy, wake up..." She waited for me to stroke her hair, to tell her that everything was going to be fine. There was only silence.​ Completely lost and scared, she found my phone. "Daddy, why is Mommy still sleeping?" she asked, her voice filled with desperation.​ In response, Oliver sent a photo of himself having Christmas Eve dinner with his childhood sweetheart. His voice was icy cold when he replied, "She's just sleeping, not dead. It's Christmas Eve, and I'm busy. Tell her to stop playing games and come apologize when she's done sulking." Then he hung up.​ But when the truth finally hit Oliver—when the coroner's report came, when the police knocked on his door right in the middle of his laughter, when he realized I'd been lying dead for four days while he toasted—he broke.

"You will stay in a room and wait to see who has purchased your precious cherry. No niceness, no pleasantries, just a night of f**k, A business contract, signed, dealed and finished with a d**k."
