Terminal Cafe

A 99ª vez que meu noivo, Draven, desligou na minha cara, eu me arrastei até a igreja da família, com meu diagnóstico de doença renal terminal agarrado na mão. — Padre, desejo renunciar à família Rocci e romper meu noivado com Draven Frost. As palavras mal haviam saído dos meus lábios quando meus pais irromperam ali com minha irmã adotiva, Bianca. Meu pai, o consigliere da família, não hesitou. Ele me deu um tapa no rosto, ali mesmo, na frente do padre. — Seu noivo é um capo respeitado no nosso mundo, e você escolhe insultá-lo assim! — Você está arrastando o nome da nossa família pela lama diante de toda a organização! Minha mãe arrancou o diagnóstico da minha mão, zombando após um breve olhar. — Fingindo estar doente para chamar atenção de novo, é isso? O que você quer desta vez? Minha irmã adotiva, Bianca, segurou nos braços deles, sua voz embargando com lágrimas. — Desculpa, irmã. Você pode ficar no meu lugar no baile. Por favor, só pare de causar problemas para a mamãe e o papai! Eu limpei o sangue que escorria do meu nariz e repeti calmamente minhas palavras ao padre. — Eu não sou mais uma filha da família Rocci. Não sou digna de uma aliança com os Frost. — Estarei morta em três dias. Quero que este noivado seja rompido antes disso.

"Marry me," Helena said with a pounding heart. Alexander's eyes darkened, making her legs feel like jelly. "And what do I get in return?" "80% of my shares, plus 2 years of my time." "I don't want your shares, Helena... I want you." ***** They say you only realise what you've lost when it's gone. Helena realised this as she lay dying, killed by her husband and sister. Switched at birth and reclaimed by a family that never wanted her, Helena lived as an outsider in her own home. But when her grandfather left her a fortune, suddenly everyone cared. Especially Michael, her sister's ex-boyfriend, who swept her off her feet with promises of love. But love was a lie. Pregnant and naive, Helena signed away everything before they killed her. In her final moments, she prayed for one impossible thing: a second chance. When Helena opens her eyes to the reading of her grandfather's will, she knows exactly what she has to do. No more being the fool. Now, she'll reclaim what's hers and pursue her dream of becoming a doctor. Then she collides with handsome and powerful Alexander Grant, who looks at her like she's a puzzle he's dying to solve. He harbours dark secrets—including a terminal illness and a solemn promise to her dead grandfather. When Helena proposed a contract marriage, his answer ignited a fire neither of them could control. He remembers their past life, and this time, he'll stop at nothing to protect her, claim her, and make her his, even as his own life is fading. But desire is a dangerous game when your grovelling ex-husband wants you back and enemies circle like vultures. Can Helena save the one man who truly loves her, or will trusting her heart destroy her all over again?

On the day I decide to quit the game, multiple comments suddenly streak across my vision. "Great news! The female supporting lead is finally quitting the game!" "Stacy no longer has to worry about getting exposed for using the supporting lead's game account to get into online relationships with others!" "Stacy is really smart! Every time she uses the supporting leads account, she always uses the in-game voice chat function! That supporting lead has no idea that Stacy has been doing this behind her back!" "Wow, Stacy really is blessed to have reeled in such amazing men!" "I can't believe she used the female supporting lead's max-level account to flirt with five of the best players on the server!" "At 2:00 pm later, she'll be meeting her first target, Lewis Johnes, the cold and aloof campus heartthrob, at Riche Cafe!' "Tomorrow, Stacy will be meeting the best assassin in person. The day after that, she'll meet the rich scion who's also ranked second on the list! She really is amazing with her time management skills!" The "Stacy" that the comments mention is Stacy White, my roommate. She actually impersonated me to flirt with five top-tier players on the server, huh? More comments streak across my vision once again. "Why isn't Heather leaving right now? Lewis is already waiting for Stacy!" "This is their first sweet date as a couple! Oh gosh, I can't wait to see it unfold!" I turn to look at Stacy, who's touching up her makeup in front of the vanity mirror. Only then do I understand that I'm the female supporting lead the comments are talking about. A small smile appears on my face. Since Stacy is impersonating me to become a Casanova, then it's not wrong of me to attend those meetings and reap the reverse harem she has prepared for me, right?

The entire ward could hear the thoughts of the beautiful intern nurse, Sonya Row. When a patient kept vomiting nonstop, and I suggested increasing the pain medication, she stood nearby, sighing. [What should I do? Should I tell the family this painkiller can be addictive and really bad for the body? If they just wait a few more minutes, he'll recover on his own. There's no need to spend money at all.] The room fell silent in an instant. Everyone's gaze shifted toward me, and the family quietly refused my treatment plan. After that, I became the joke of the entire department. Every patient specifically asked not to be assigned to me. Later, while comforting a terminal stomach cancer patient, I followed her family's wishes and lied, saying it was just gastritis. Sonya complained about it in her thoughts. [The patient's practically dying already, but she's still saying she can be cured. It's obviously just to trick this old woman into draining her life savings on treatment.] That night, the old lady jumped off the building so she wouldn't burden her family. Her family thought I had revealed the truth and driven her to her death. They reported me directly to the hospital director, and I was stripped of my position as department head. Then, on a holiday weekend, the hospital admitted a pregnant woman with a suspected amniotic fluid embolism. To save her life, I had no choice but to remove her uterus. At that moment, Sonya's thoughts rang out again. [She doesn't have an amniotic fluid embolism at all. She was on her phone during surgery, which caused this. Now look what happened. This baby's a girl. This family wanted a son, and now they'll never get one.] The family attacked me on the spot, recorded it, and posted the video online to harass me. The desperate husband, obsessed with having a son, stabbed me to death to vent his rage. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day Sonya first revealed her thoughts. This time, I could hear her thoughts, too.

El día en que Rosa, el amor de mi esposo, enferma terminal, dio a luz a su hijo, mis suegros contrataron a diez guardaespaldas para vigilar la sala de partos y asegurarse de que yo no apareciera a hacer un escándalo. Pero la verdad es que nunca fui. Mi suegra, Melina, le tomó la mano a Rosa conmovida: —Rosa, mientras estemos nosotros aquí, ¡Fiona jamás podrá hacerte daño a ti ni a tu bebé! Mi esposo, Benito Cruz, con ternura en la mirada, la acompañaba durante el parto, secándole el sudor de la frente. —Tranquila, mi padre está con su gente en la entrada del hospital. Si Fiona se atreve a venir, la sacamos en el acto. Al ver que pasaban las horas y yo no aparecía, por fin se tranquilizó. Para él no tenía sentido pensar que yo fuera capaz de armar una escena. Solo quería cumplirle a Rosa su último deseo: ser madre antes de morir. ¿Por qué yo me empeñaría en arruinarlo? Cuando escuchó el llanto del recién nacido en brazos de la enfermera, no pudo evitar sonreír con alivio. Pensó que, si al día siguiente yo iba a disculparme con Rosa, se olvidaría de todas nuestras peleas. Incluso estaba dispuesto a dejar que yo criara al niño como si fuera mío. Lo que él no sabía era que, en ese mismo instante, yo acababa de entregar mi informe en la ONU. En una semana iba a renunciar a mi nacionalidad para unirme a Médicos Sin Fronteras. Y desde entonces jamás volvimos a vernos.

Istriku seorang pramugari cantik, dan aku hanya seorang pria kampung biasa. Banyak orang iri dengan hidupku, tapi tidak ada yang tahu seberapa banyak kepahitan dan penghinaan hidup yang kujalani. Aku dan istriku dikenalkan oleh teman dekatku, dia bekerja di sebuah agen perkawinan, waktu itu dia mencariku dan mengatakan ada seorang wanita yang mencari pasangan, kriteriaku sangat memenuhi syarat ini. Syarat pernikahan sangatlah aneh, menantu pria tinggal di rumah mertua, jujur, sifat lemah lembut, dan tuli.

Meskipun aku tidak suka berbicara namun aku tidak tuli. Temanku bilang wanita ini sangat kaya, dan akan memberikan mahar yang sangat luar biasa, ucapannya ini membuat hatuku terguncang, terlebih biaya pengobatan adikku setiap tahun membutuhkan biaya sangat besar, aku sama sekali tidak bisa membiayainya, jadi aku benar benar sangat ingin menikah dengan wanita ini. Hingga akhirnya temanku mengajukan suatu ide untukku, pihak peremouan mencari menantu yang tuli, pasti takut laki laki ini akan banyak bicara, dan dia hanya ingin mempunyai garis keturunan saja, seharusnya tidak ada rahasia lain, dia menyuruhku pura pura bisu, atau menjadi si tuli yang mengenak huruf cuman itu saja. Dia juga mengatakan selama bisa membohonginya selama tiga sampai enam bulan, nanti setelah menikah ketahuan juga tidak masalah. Aku mendengarkan suaranya , pertama kali kami bertemu di cafe dekat bandara, ketika melihat wanita itu aku sangat tercengang, aku pikir dia wanita tua dan juga jelek, tidak disangka dia seorang pramugari cantik, waktu itu dia masih mengenakan seragam pramugari, tidak usah ditanya betapa cantik dirinya. Dia hanya beberapa kali menatapku, lalu menggunak

En vísperas de la boda, la noticia de que la amante del prometido había dado a luz se volvió un escándalo. Julian Espinoza no esperó a que yo lo confrontara y habló con indiferencia. —No fue más que un accidente. Tú encárgate primero de la fiesta de compromiso. —Además, tu papá está en fase terminal de cáncer de estómago. Cancelar la alianza ahora no le conviene a ninguna de las dos familias. Esa misma noche faltó a la cena de compromiso, pero en sus redes sociales subió la foto de un bebé envuelto en mantas. Cuando marqué una videollamada, apareció dándole de comer con un biberón al recién nacido. —Últimamente estoy cuidando al niño y no tengo tiempo para ti. Ya sabes, en mi familia solo queda una rama masculina, el hijo es prioridad. Limpió la leche de la comisura de los labios del bebé y añadió: —Pero tranquila, cuando cumpla el mes lo mando a Inglaterra. En las fiestas importantes basta con que te muestres como si fueras su madre. El lugar de señora de la familia Espinoza siempre será tuyo. Yo me quedé mirando el anillo en su dedo anular, idéntico al mío, y solté una risa. —Este compromiso queda anulado. Él bufó con frialdad: —Armas tanto escándalo por una tontería. No seas tan caprichosa. Colgué de golpe la videollamada y marqué al número privado de su padre. —Dicen que anda buscando nueva esposa, ¿por qué no me considera a mí? Acariciando mi vientre, solté una risa baja: —Después de todo, tengo facilidad para embarazarme; los hijos que usted quiera, se los puedo dar. Qué soledad la de una familia con un solo heredero. Yo misma le daré varios hermanos para que al menos haya ruido en la casa.

« Je suis désolé, j'ai fait une erreur, mais je suis prêt à la réparer. Je veux que tu reviennes, Evie », supplia Julian. « C'est trop tard », répondis-je. ——————————. Evelyn a enduré des années de négligence, de moqueries et un diagnostic terminal avec seulement 5 % de chances de survie, tout cela par amour pour son mari Julian. Lorsqu'il l'a trompée ouvertement et a traité son ex-femme comme une reine, elle a finalement quitté le domicile conjugal, signé les papiers du divorce et risqué une opération de la dernière chance. Elle survit, pour découvrir ensuite que son grand-père maternel, l'homme le plus riche d'Allemagne, souhaite se racheter. Evelyn endosse alors le rôle de Sophia Müller, unique héritière du plus grand conglomérat allemand, et après un an en Allemagne, elle retourne aux États-Unis pour se venger de son ex-mari Julian Carvers et récupérer tout ce qu'elle lui a donné. Déguisée en secrétaire de Sophia, elle observe Julian et sa nouvelle amante, Vivienne, la mépriser, ignorant qu'elle est l'investisseuse clé dont ils ont besoin. C'est alors qu'entre en scène le docteur Xander, le chirurgien le plus brillant de la ville, qui fait irruption dans la vie d'Evelyn. Il la défend contre son ex-mari et Vivienne, ce qui déplaît fortement à Julian, car Xander prétend être son petit ami. Julian réalise ce qu'il a perdu et veut reconquérir Evelyn, mais le docteur Xander est dans le tableau et Evelyn est déterminée à se venger. Elle fera tout pour faire souffrir Julian autant qu'il l'a fait, tout en réprimant les sentiments qu'elle éprouve pour le docteur Xander, car elle ne croit plus en l'amour.
