Top 100 Novels To Read Before You Die

I stand before the judges at the jewelry design competition and admit to plagiarism. Then, I announce my withdrawal from the contest, along with my resignation as Design Director of Fairchild Group. My fiance, Caleb Fairchild, shoots daggers at me. "If you walk away from this competition, our engagement is off!" My father follows up by slapping me across the face. "First, you plagiarize your own sister, and now you're breaking off your engagement with the Fairchilds? Are you trying to ruin our family?" "Oh, I'm not just calling off my engagement. I'm also cutting off my ties with you," I respond apathetically. I make this decision because I have been given a second life. In my previous life, my stepsister and I competed in this contest. First place earns the title of the nation's top jewelry designer and 50 million dollars from Fairchild Group. However, round after round, her designs are exactly the same as mine, and she submits them before I do. The judging panel gives me a pass because of Caleb and lets me advance to the finals, but not without a warning to never plagiarize again. I refuse to believe it. I switch to a brand-new computer, lock myself in my room, and pour everything into a new design. Yet, when the final designs appear on the big screen, history repeats itself. In the end, my sister takes first place and walks away with everything that should have been mine. The reputation I painstakingly built is ruined, and my name is dragged through the mud online. My parents are ashamed of me. They knock me out and sell me off to the countryside to marry an old man. Ultimately, I die after endless abuse. When I open my eyes again, I'm back at the semifinals. Everyone is pointing at me as they stare at the two identical designs.

I was the world’s last mermaid. At birth, I was granted three wishes by God. I used the first when my boyfriend, Alex Zane, was dying. I offered up the child in my womb and my fertility in exchange for him to live a long and healthy life, untouched by illness or disaster. I used the second when the Zane family was going bankrupt. I offered up all my power and wished for their fortune to be restored and for their future to be secured. When he came to me for the final wish, his childhood sweetheart, Valentina Wilson, was dying in childbirth. After I turned him down, he threw me into a men’s prison. “A dollar a turn. Do whatever you want with her. She can’t get pregnant anyway.” That night, I wept until my voice broke. At dawn, when the light finally crept in, I offered up my life to activate the sacred token and made my final wish. “I wish for all who betrayed me to watch their world burn. Let them lose everything and die a painful, miserable death!”

Im neunten Monat, kurz vor der Entbindung, war mein Körper schwer von dem Baby, das jeden Tag kommen konnte. Doch mein Ehemann Vito Falcone, Underboss der Familie, hatte mich weggesperrt. In einem sterilen, unterirdischen Krankenzimmer injizierte er mir einen Wehenhemmer. Als ich vor Schmerzen schrie, befahl er kalt, ich solle es ertragen. Seine Schwägerin Scarlett würde nämlich gleichzeitig gebären. Ein Blutschwur mit seinem verstorbenen Bruder bestimmte, dass der erstgeborene Sohn das lukrative Westküsten-Territorium der Familie erben sollte. „Dieses Erbe gehört Scarletts Kind“, sagte er. „Nach Daemons Tod ist sie allein und mittellos. Du hast meine Liebe, Alessia, ganz und gar. Ich muss nur sicherstellen, dass sie sicher entbindet. Danach bist du dran.“ Die Medikamente waren eine ständige Folter. Ich flehte ihn an, mich ins Krankenhaus zu bringen. Da packte er mich am Hals und zwang mich, seinem eisigen Blick zu begegnen. „Genug mit dem Theater! Mir ist klar, dass es dir gut geht. Du willst nur das Erbe stehlen. Um Scarlett auszustechen, greifst du zu allem.“ Mein Gesicht erbleichte. Mein Körper verkrampfte sich, als ich verzweifelt flüsterte: „Das Baby kommt ... Das Erbe ist mir egal. Ich liebe dich, ich will nur, dass unser Kind sicher zur Welt kommt!“ Er lächelte höhnisch. „Wärest du wirklich so unschuldig und würdest du mich auch nur ein wenig lieben, hättest du Scarlett nie gezwungen, den Ehevertrag zu unterschreiben, der ihrem Kind das Erbrecht nimmt. Keine Sorge, ich komme zurück, sobald sie entbunden hat. Du trägst schließlich mein Fleisch und Blut.“ Die ganze Nacht wachte er vor Scarletts Kreißsaal. Erst beim Anblick des Neugeborenen in ihren Armen erinnerte er sich an mich. Er schickte Marco, seinen zweiten Mann, um mich freizulassen. Doch als Marco endlich anrief, zitterte seine Stimme. „Boss ... die Signora und das Baby... sie sind weg.“ In diesem Moment zerbrach Vito Falcone.

Thor and I grew up together—we were the definition of childhood sweethearts. We'd promised to attend the same university, graduate, and marry right after senior year. Everyone envied us. They said we were a perfect match, destined for a lifetime together. And I believed that too. I truly thought I'd spend the rest of my life with him. Until the final semester of our senior year in high school, when a new transfer student named Lina joined our class. At first, the two barely spoke. But as they grew familiar, their bond deepened in ways I could no longer ignore. He started staying after school to tutor her, bringing her breakfast every morning. When she was upset, he'd take her for a drive along the coast. If she craved Italian steak, he'd have fresh cuts flown in. Even during her period, he'd quietly prepare everything she needed. I was furious. I confronted him, argued with him, and even threatened to break up. The first time I said it, he thought I was joking and coaxed me out of my anger. The second time, he dismissed it as another tantrum and tried different ways to please me. The third time, he broke down—standing outside my house in the pouring rain all night, half kneeling before me, begging for forgiveness. Again and again, I tried to leave, and every time, he refused to let me go. Yet with each reconciliation, something in him shifted. He started taking me for granted, assuming I would always come back. His patience wore thin. His apologies turned perfunctory. Even when he came to make peace, there was no sincerity left in his voice. So I said it for the hundredth time, and that was the last. That was the moment I finally gave up on him.
