Thomas The Unstoppable Tank Engine

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.

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.
