On New Year's Eve, I waited at home with a box of sparklers, hoping Jake Thompson would come. Instead, an earthquake struck. Trapped under fallen debris, I prayed for his safety. Little did I know, Jake was putting on a grand fireworks display across the city for his high school sweetheart who had just returned from abroad. The whole town buzzed with excitement, wishing them a lifetime of happiness together. Meanwhile, I had lost my hearing in the disaster, with no hope of recovery. When I tried to break off our engagement and leave town, Jake stood before me, his eyes red-rimmed and pleading. I couldn't understand a word he said. I simply wished him, “May you always have a day like today, year after year.”

Due to an accident, my wife and I lost our lives in a massive fire. When we open our eyes again, we find ourselves back on the day we registered our marriage. In our last life, everyone thought we were the perfect couple. Little did they know that my wife, Queenie Lloyd, refused to consummate our marriage. Right before my death, I found out that I was nothing but a replacement for her first love. Queenie had intended to remain chaste for him for the rest of her life. After being reborn, neither of us speaks of the past. By an unspoken agreement, we get a divorce that very day and go on to live separate lives. Eight years later, she attends an industry summit holding her childhood sweetheart's arm. She's now a rising star in the business world. I am dressed in plain clothes. When she notices me, she walks over with a champagne glass in hand. "Mr. Lawrence! Even if you still have feelings for me, you didn't have to disguise yourself as a waiter just to approach me. Are you still trying to convince me to get back together with you?" she sneers. I ignore her and smile as I wave at someone nearby. My son runs over to me and tugs on the corner of my shirt. "Mommy said she's tired, Daddy. She wants to know when you're coming to pick us up," he tells me. Upon hearing this, Queenie's face stiffens immediately, and she almost drops her wine glass.

When I was young, I saved a fae—charming and extremely handsome. In return, he offered me one wish, and I, lost in romantic fantasies, asked for the strongest wolves to be obsessed with me. It sounded dreamy—until it wasn’t. Obsession, I learned, is a storm disguised as a dream. First up, my stepbrother—his obsession turned him into a tormentor. Life became unbearable, and I had to escape before a mating ceremony that felt more like a nightmare than a love story. But freedom was short-lived. The next wolf found me, nearly made me his dinner, and kidnapped me away to his kingdom, proclaiming I would be his Luna. He wasn’t as terrifying, but when he announced our wedding plans (against my will, obviously), his best friend appeared as competitor number three. “Great! Just what I needed,” I thought. This third wolf was sweet, gentle, and truly cared—but, alas, he wasn’t my type. Desperate, I tracked down the fae. “Please, undo my wish! I want out of this romantic disaster!” My heart raced; I really needed him to understand me. He just smiled and shrugged his shoulders. “Sorry, you’re on your own. But I can help you pick the best one out of them!” How do I fix this mess? Facing three intense wolves: “Marry me, I’ll kill anyone who bothers you!” the first declared fiercely. “No, marry me! I’ll make you the happiest ever,” the second pleaded. “I’ll destroy every kingdom you walk into. You’re mine!” the third growled, eyes blazed. “Seriously, what have I gotten myself into?” A long sigh escaped my lips. Caught between a curse and a hard place, I really just wanted peace and quiet…but which one do I choose?

Un par de días antes del Año Nuevo, Diego —mi novio— decidió irse a la playa con su asistente. Yo no dije nada. No lloré, no grité, no hice escándalo. Incluso lo ayudé a empacar, con todo el cariño del mundo. ¿Y él qué hizo? Se burló. Me dijo que, ahora que estaba embarazada, por fin había aprendido a comportarme. Apenas se fue, me fui directo a abortar. En mi vida pasada, había intentado retenerlo con ese bebé. Y lo había logrado: él no se había marchado. Al final, su asistente había ido sola a la playa, y ahí la habían matado de una forma brutal. Diego siempre fingía que nada le afectaba. Siempre con esa cara tranquila, como si todo le diera igual. Pero, cuando estaba a punto de dar a luz, fue él quien me abrió el vientre con sus propias manos. Apretó con fuerza… hasta que asesinó a mi hijo. Y fue en ese momento cuando lo entendí todo: siempre me había despreciado, y desde la muerte de aquella mujer… me odiaba sin medida. Por eso, ahora, que había vuelto a nacer, pensaba dejarlo sin nada.

Eu, Glória Gomes, morri no dia em que recebi o Prêmio de Ouro Global de Doutorado em Medicina. Três horas após minha morte, meus pais, meu irmão mais velho e meu noivo voltaram para casa, logo depois de encerrarem a festa de dezesseis anos da minha irmã. Enquanto minha irmã postava nas redes sociais uma foto de toda a família comemorando seu aniversário, eu estava deitada em uma poça de sangue no porão abafado, tentando usar a língua para deslizar pela tela do celular e fazer uma chamada de emergência. Dos contatos de emergência, apenas meu noivo atendeu à minha ligação — o que significava que meus pais e meu irmão haviam bloqueado meu número. Assim que atendeu, meu noivo disse apenas uma frase: — Glória, a festa de dezesseis anos da Ester é importante. Pare de tentar chamar nossa atenção com desculpas inúteis e de fazer birra! Ele desligou o telefone, cortando também minha última esperança de vida. Meu coração parou de bater junto com o som da linha ocupada. Foi a centésima vez que eles escolheram minha irmã, a centésima vez que me abandonaram e me decepcionaram, e também a última. Deitada em meu próprio sangue, senti minha respiração cessar aos poucos... Eles pensaram que, desta vez, eu estava novamente usando uma desculpa para fugir de casa e expressar minha insatisfação, que, se me dessem uma lição, eu voltaria obedientemente por conta própria, como nas 99 vezes anteriores. Infelizmente, desta vez, isso não aconteceria. Porque eu não saí de casa. Eu estava o tempo todo deitada no porão...

Las drogas desaparecieron durante una de las transacciones de nuestra familia, y todos sabían que era culpa de mi media hermana, Emily. Actualmente, nuestros rivales exigían que les enviáramos a alguien para ellos mantenerlo cautivo hasta que se pagara la deuda, por lo que mi prometido y mi familia, estuvieron de acuerdo en que debía ser yo. —Emily ya se lastimó en la misión. Tú eres más fuerte, por tanto, puedes aguantar mientras encontramos una solución —dijo él. Yo sabía que aquel momento llegaría, así que firmé mi nombre. En cinco días, me iban a enviar lejos, por eso decidí que no importaba lo que pasara, si vivía o moría, ya había terminado con mi familia y mi prometido. En esos últimos días, di todo lo que tenía. ¿El casino? Para mi media hermana, que siempre lo había mirado con envidia. ¿Mi cuenta corriente? Para mi padre, que nunca perdía la oportunidad de recordarme lo inútil que era. ¿El anillo de compromiso? De vuelta a ese hombre que era tan falso. Ellos no notaron nada raro, solo sonrieron, contentos por lo atenta que había sido repentinamente. ¿Seguirían sonriendo así cuando se dieran cuenta de que me fui para siempre y de que su frágil Emily sería su perdición? ¿Seguirían estando tan contentos?
