Success Is Not Final

A quince días de la boda, Santiago Velasco y yo tuvimos una pelea feroz. La razón no era otra: él quería tener un hijo con la hija de su profesor. —Solo iremos a hacer una fertilización in vitro, no hay nada entre nosotros —dijo con una calma que me heló hasta los huesos—. El profesor está muy enfermo, lo único que desea es ver a Valeria con alguien que la apoye en el futuro. —¿Y tú? —le reproché—. Nos casamos en quince días y tú vas a tener un hijo con otra mujer. ¿No te parece absurdo? Vi cómo Santiago cerraba la puerta de un portazo y, sin pensarlo, publiqué en mis redes: "Boda en quince días, busco un novio nuevo, ¿alguien se apunta?"

I had been married to Lucius Martin for three years, and in all that time, there was never a shortage of women around him. Each time he brought another woman home, he would give me a necklace worth a fortune. In just three short years, I had accumulated ninety-nine necklaces. When Lucius fastened the hundredth necklace around my neck, I no longer cried or made a scene. Because this time, the woman he cheated with was my own older sister, the one who had beaten and scolded me since we were children. The man I loved most joined hands with the person I hated most to torment me together. At that moment, my heart finally died. This time, I took the initiative and walked up to Lucius, placing a house purchase contract into his hands. "As long as you sign this," I said, "you can do whatever you want with her." A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, but in the end, he signed without hesitation. For the first time ever, he even leaned down and gently kissed my cheek. "Good girl," he murmured. "You've finally learned to behave." I personally opened the car door for him and watched as he hurried off toward my sister. When the car disappeared completely from sight, I let out a long breath. Then I reached beneath the documents and pulled out the paper hidden there—a divorce agreement.

No dia em que a família de Miguel Borges faliu, ele deixou uma carta de despedida e foi sozinho para as montanhas nevadas com a intenção de se suicidar. Eu corri atrás dele sem pensar em mais nada e passei dez horas procurando por ele na neve. Quando meu coração já estava em frangalhos, vi a secretária dele fazendo uma transmissão ao vivo no Instagram do pedido de casamento. Os amigos dele zombavam nos comentários: [Você vai virar noivo, não tem medo de a sua mulher ficar brava?] A resposta dele foi extremamente fria: [Eu só prometi a ela o título de esposa. O resto, nem pense em querer.] [Ela entrou na família trazendo cem milhões de dólares em investimento. Vai engolir esse desaforo assim mesmo?] Foi como se eu visse Miguel, do outro lado da tela, soltando um riso de desdém ao responder: [Cem milhões de dólares em troca do status de esposa, ela não sai perdendo. Se não fosse por ela, a Luana não teria sido forçada a ir para o exterior. Esses últimos dias são a minha compensação para a Luana.] Minhas unhas cravaram na carne. Queimei tudo o que dizia respeito a ele. No dia do casamento, ele enlouqueceu me procurando por toda parte. Mas, no salão de festas do outro lado da avenida, eu acabava de colocar no dedo o anel de diamante que outro homem havia me dado. Ele não sabia que, enquanto contava os dias para o fim do nosso relacionamento, eu também me preparava para me casar com outra pessoa.

A car accident left my mother-in-law bleeding and desperate for help, but her plea was heartlessly rejected by her own daughter. Even on her deathbed, my mother-in-law's only wish was to see her one last time. However, she was busy staying by her first love's side, euthanizing his dog. "You better stay as far away from me as possible! My mom's perfectly fine!" she shouted before hanging up on me, only to spend the night tangled with her first love in a hotel room. It was not until after the cremation ceremony that she returned—carrying a birthday cake. What greeted her was not a celebration but her mother's funeral. She cried, sobbing uncontrollably, "Mom! You haven't even celebrated my birthday yet! Don't leave me!" I stared at her and pulled the divorce papers from my bag. How fitting. This time, I was leaving too.

I'm the most overlooked Omega in the pack, yet I somehow end up as Alpha Blake Cartman's fated mate. Because of my low status, he never allows me to appear at any events we're supposed to attend together. I plan 18 grand events for him, and he doesn't even let me show up for our anniversary. Then comes the 19th time, when he finally agrees to let me attend. I'm over the moon. I get dressed up, ready for the night, only to see Wendy Lowe—another Omega—already standing by his side. They stand there arm in arm, looking deeply in love, while the memory video I've worked so hard to put together has been replaced with clips of the two of them acting all sweet with each other. With his arm around Wendy, Blake looks at me with nothing but disgust. "My Luna needs the pack's full approval," he says. "You were never officially acknowledged as Luna anyway. Wendy earned their acceptance long before you. Starting today, she's taking your place." Everyone who knows me in the pack is watching, waiting for me to break down and lose it. But I don't scream or cry. I'm not even angry. In fact, I feel like I can finally breathe now. Because in just three days, the three-year mating contract between me and Blake will officially come to an end.
