Total Drama Island Pahkitew Island

Después de dejar la universidad, mis padres no me presionaron. Pero la amiga de la infancia de mi novio, esa que se hacía pasar por la chica perfecta y de alto coeficiente intelectual, me llamó por teléfono. Yo estaba ocupada trabajando en el campo, sembrando verduras y jugando con el agua, sin tiempo para programar. En mi vida pasada, ella presentó su proyecto de diseño de software un día antes que yo, era exactamente igual al mío. Todos me acusaron de ladrona, de farsante sin escrúpulos. Intenté defenderme, pero nadie me creyó. Más tarde, incluso abrió un canal de transmisiones en vivo para difamarme, diciendo que yo la acosaba en la escuela. La gente en internet enloqueció, atacando cruelmente a toda mi familia. Mis padres, tratando de huir de los fanáticos que los perseguían, murieron en un accidente de coche. Yo no soporté el golpe, me lancé desde lo alto de un edificio… sin poder cerrar los ojos en paz. Hasta el último instante de mi conciencia, no entendía nada. ¿Por qué, si era mi esfuerzo y mi trabajo, alguien más pudo publicarlo antes que yo? Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, estaba de nuevo en el día anterior al plagio.

No terceiro ano de casamento, finalmente engravidei. Carregando uma marmita, preparei-me para ir à empresa do meu marido e contar-lhe essa boa notícia. Mas acabei sendo confundida com uma amante pela secretária dele. Ela virou a marmita sobre minha cabeça, arrancou minhas roupas e, à força, me fez perder o bebê. — Uma empregada, ousando seduzir o Diretor Borges e ainda ficar grávida dele. — Hoje vou te mostrar o destino que espera o filho de uma amante. Depois, orgulhosa, foi contar vantagem ao meu marido: — Diretor Borges, resolvi o problema de uma empregada que queria te seduzir. Como pretende me recompensar?

Crecí fuera del país y, para evitar que volviera con un novio extranjero, mi mamá me arregló en Ciudad de México un prometido de ensueño: Gabriel Méndez, el carismático CEO del Grupo Méndez. Regresé para nuestra fiesta de compromiso. La boutique de alta costura olía a flores blancas y cuero nuevo. Entre maniquíes impecables, encontré el vestido perfecto: un strapless largo color marfil, limpio como una promesa. Ya iba a probármelo cuando, a mi lado, una mujer alzó la barbilla, le echó un vistazo a lo que traía y le dijo a la vendedora: —Ese vestido está interesante. Tráemelo a mí. La asesora me lo arrebató con brusquedad. Se me calentó la cara. —Todo tiene un orden —dije conteniéndome—. Ese vestido lo vi primero. ¿Aquí ya no existe el “primero en llegar, primero en ser atendido”? La mujer me miró con pereza, sonrisita de superioridad. —Ese vestido cuesta veintiséis mil dólares. ¿Tú, con esa facha, puedes pagarlo? —chasqueó la lengua—. Soy la protegida de Gabriel Méndez, CEO del Grupo Méndez. En esta ciudad, la razón la pone la familia Méndez. Gabriel Méndez… ¿no es mi prometido? Saqué el celular, e hice una rápida llamada. —Tu “protegida” me acaba de arrebatar mi vestido de compromiso. ¿Cómo piensas resolverlo?

My residential area suddenly catches on fire, and the twins my husband had with his first wife are trapped in the room. This time, I call 911 without hesitation. After informing my husband of the fire, I don't stop him from leaving. In my past life, when the fire broke out, my husband was about to leave on a vacation with his ex-wife and true love. The trip was to a deserted island—it was to make up for past regrets. I ripped his flight ticket to shreds, stopping him from leaving the house. We successfully saved the kids. After the fire, my husband hurried to the island. However, he learned his ex-wife was declared missing after being taken away by a strong wave. He was calm and composed after returning, even being extra caring to me. Three months later, I discovered I was pregnant. I wanted to surprise him, but my vision went blurry. I collapsed on the floor while twitching violently. He stood aside and watched me coldly. Then, he placed a photo of his ex-wife before me. "You've gotten your wish, Caroline. Are you happy now that you've killed Sasha? You can accompany her now! No, you don't deserve that. An evil woman like you only deserves to go to the underworld!" I breathe my last breath as my vision clears, allowing me to see the frostiness in his eyes. When I open my eyes again, I'm taken back to the day the fire broke out.
