Thomas Henry Huxley

"I never thought you would trap me, taking advantage of me to have a child." Regina can't even remember sleeping with the guy who always annoyed her. How could she have his child? Henry humiliated Regina in public with insults that put her in a difficult situation. He also forced her into a contract marriage, dragging her into even more trouble. For the sake of that child, she is willing to endure it all. Little does Regina know, the child who has been her light all this time is hiding something unexpected.

The pope's death, the union of China and Korea as a single country, and the economic breakdown triggered the third world war. Or is it a secret society that wanted to create a one-world government to end Christianity forever? When the Vatican claimed that they received a retraction from a journalist who wrote about the demented pope, they could not show it to the public. The mysterious death of the pope surprised the world following the disappearance of the writer. That year, there was no Christmas celebration, to commiserate with the Catholic church. The war in the Middle East continued to worsen leading to fluctuations in the oil prices and the price of commodities skyrocketed as a result. There was an economic breakdown even if there was also a digital chutzpah going around. China and Korea united as a single country. They wanted to rival NATO, particularly America. Both countries wanted to be a superpower. Henry, the premier of the China and Korea, visited as a commoner to America and met the brother of the journalist, Isaac. He believed that chaos theory should be laws of chaos and he predicted war. When Isaac received a late phone call about his brother, he set on an adventure to save his brother. Discovering that a secret society was launching a one-world government to launch a war, Isaac asked the help of Henry. In 72 hours, there will be a third world war. "If power is a religion," Henry once said, "then, I'm proud to be an atheist." This inspired the young genius to save the world from New World Order. What if instead of a New World Order, this secret society strengthened the Roman Catholic Church, much to the dismay of the one-world government? Will faith reign over the greedy and evil?

I worked at a sales job and felt pretty good about my work. Then, Vivian appeared. She was a new intern with an insatiable curiosity for others’ private affairs. On Valentine’s Day, my husband, Henry Ambrose, bought a million dollars’ worth of bags from me to help me meet my sales target. Just as I left work to meet him for a date, Vivian sent a snide message. [Your Fitbit just logged an extra thousand steps. That’s literally the exact distance to the hotel next door. Nice work, Lily! You close a million-dollar deal and immediately head to the hotel with the client?] I coldly fired back, [If you’re this desperate to stalk people, you should’ve just joined the K-9 unit.] That very night, parcels of adult toys appeared on my doorstep. Vivian had written a nasty post that had gone viral, and things turned out like this! [This Salesgirl Slept With My Client and Stole My Million-Dollar Commission on Valentine’s Day!] A pair of my ripped silk stockings, which I had tossed in the trash, became her “proof” that I had seduced a client during work hours. Vivian was painted as the victim, while I was viciously smeared as a “salesgirl who slept with clients for commissions.” What Vivian did not know was that Henry was actually a leading researcher worth billions. I only took the sales job because I was bored and wanted to experience something new.

After checking my final exam results, I hand the bottle of water given by my mother and the amethyst bracelet given by my childhood friend to the school bully with AIDS. In my previous life, my exam score of 1250 was swapped with the score of 600 of my younger adopted sister, Adelia Quentin, right after I drank that bottle of water. My health immediately deteriorated in the following days. I had a high fever and kept on coughing up blood. I was even nearly bedridden from severe pain. On the other hand, Adelia miraculously recovered from her stomach cancer. I begged my mother to send me to the hospital. But not only did she refuse, but she even mocked me and accused me of faking my illness. She then locked me in the basement. They celebrated Adelia's enrollment in university while I writhed helplessly in pain. In the end, I died in the basement all alone. After my death, Adelia used my exam score of 1250 to study at a renowned university. She also officially started her relationship with Thomas Haynes, my childhood friend. It was only then that I finally realized that the bottle of water my mother handed me had been cursed. My exam results would be swapped away when I drank it. Meanwhile, the amethyst bracelet Thomas gifted me would swap my health condition with Adelia's three days after I wore it. I'd get Adelia's stomach cancer and die a painful death. Just as I open my eyes again, I find myself back on the day I checked my exam results.

À la veille de mon mariage, la nouvelle selon laquelle la maîtresse de mon fiancé avait accouché s'est répandue partout. Alex Thomas n'a pas attendu que je l'interroge, il a parlé d'un ton désinvolte. « Ce n'est qu'un accident, occupe-toi d'abord de l'organisation de nos fiançailles. » « Et puis, ton père est atteint d'un cancer de l'estomac à un stade avancé, rompre l'alliance maintenant ne servirait ni ta famille ni la mienne. » Le soir même, il a brillé par son absence à la réception, mais il a publié sur Instagram une photo d'un nouveau-né emmailloté. Quand je l'ai appelé en visioconférence, il donnait le biberon à l'enfant. « Je m'occupe du bébé ces jours-ci, je n'ai pas le temps de t'accompagner. Tu le sais, je suis fils unique, l'enfant compte davantage. » En essuyant le lait au coin de la bouche du nourrisson, il a ajouté : « Mais rassure-toi, dès qu'il aura un mois, je l'enverrai à Solméra. » « Aux fêtes, il suffira que tu fasses semblant d'être sa mère devant les autres, et la place de jeune madame Thomas restera toujours la tienne. » J'ai fixé la bague assortie à la mienne qui brillait à son annulaire, puis j'ai éclaté de rire. « Alex, annulons nos fiançailles. » Il a soufflé avec mépris : « Pour si peu tu fais un caprice, ne sois pas si enfantine. » J'ai coupé net la communication, puis j'ai composé le numéro privé de son père. « J'ai entendu dire que vous cherchiez une nouvelle épouse, pourquoi ne pas songer à moi ? » En caressant mon ventre, j'ai souri doucement : « Après tout, la vie m'accorde une nature féconde, je pourrai vous donner autant de fils que vous voudrez. » La maison des Thomas, avec Alex comme unique héritier, paraissait bien vide. Moi, j'allais lui offrir quelques frères pour égayer le tout.
