Even knowing that wailing at an Eravalen aristocratic funeral was considered disrespectful to the deceased, I let my husband's adopted sister make a scene anyway. In my previous life, my husband, Robert Baker, had a distant relative among the Eravalen aristocracy who passed away. A lawyer informed him that he stood to inherit the estate and invited him to attend the funeral. His adopted sister, Mia Carter, insisted on tagging along to see how the privileged few in another country lived. She wanted to rub shoulders with nobles and make herself look important, even planning to wail dramatically in front of everyone. I rushed to stop her. "Public mourning is taboo among Eravalen nobility. Forget inheriting anything. We'll all be thrown out!" Yet she burst into tears, accusing me of looking down on her and thinking she was not good enough to mingle with aristocrats. She stormed out and was killed by street thugs in a random attack. I thought Robert would fall apart, but he stayed silent through the entire funeral and collected his inheritance without a hitch. Six months later, on our wedding anniversary, he took me to the snowy mountains for a photoshoot. The moment we reached the peak, he shoved me into a sleeping bag and tied it shut. "If you hadn't blown everything out of proportion, Mia never would've run off and gotten herself shot." He buried me alive in the snow. I froze to death, and he used that aristocratic fortune to become the CEO of a publicly traded company. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day Mia insisted on wailing at the funeral.

Kapit sa patalim ang naging buhay ni Phoebe matapos maaksidente ang kapatid at ngayon ay graduating college student pa siya. Hindi sana sila magigipit ng todo kung hindi sila tinakbuhan ng nakabangga sa kuya niya. At ngayon heto siya, binebenta ang sarili sa kung kani-kanino para sa pera. Kilala siya sa mga escort dahil sa ‘One-time-policy’ niya, hindi na nakakaulit ang mga kliyene niya sa kanya kahit anong pilit ng mga ito. Hanggang sa dumating ang araw na naipit siya sa dalawang lalaki si Dr. Drew Martinez at Mr. Thomas Preston, ang isa na matagal na niyang gusto at ang isa na binili ang pagkatao niya sa pagiging escort. Mas pinili ni Phoebe ang maging submissive ni Thomas kaysa sa komplikadong lagay niya kay Drew dahil sa nobya nito. Tinanggap niya lahat ng insulto at ginawa niya lahat ng nais ng lalaki, hanggang hindi inaasahan mahuhulog sila sa isa’t isa kalakip ang mapait na katotohanan sa trahedyang kinaharap nilang magkapatid at ang kritisismong natanggap sa madaming tao dahil sa dating buhay ni Phoebe. Sa pagkakalagay nilang pareho sa alanganin mas pinili nilang harapin lahat ng bunga ng mga pagkakamali at tanggapin ang katotohanan sa relasyon nilang dalawa. By BuzzyBee

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.
