Toxic Family Quotes

My sister gets into an accident and needs an emergency blood transfusion when I'm six months pregnant. After a round of tests, my blood is the only suitable one. I'm exhausted and too skinny after being tormented by morning sickness. I have to say no. However, my family forces me to do it. I have no strength to resist; I can only beg my husband for help. To my devastation, he stands by and watches me coldly. "It's fine for you to donate some blood since you're so healthy. Queenie isn't the same as you—she has a bright future ahead, so we can't let anything affect that." I pass out after the blood donation. The first thing I do when I wake up is make an appointment for an abortion.

In the final seven days after I decided to depart for good, I transformed into the daughter my family had always dreamed of. I conceded to Remy's every whim, never to fight or deny her. When she wanted to use my work for a contest, I deferred. When she wanted me out in the frost and howling wind, I did just that. My quiet compliance led my family to think that I had learned the error of my ways. "You've finally accepted that you owe Remy so much, and that you have to compensate her!" Even until the end, they never understood why I couldn't care less. "Fiona, why aren't you saying anything?" To that, I could only smile. "Isn't this what you've always wanted?"

Around the seventh month of my pregnancy, I overheard a conversation between my mate, Zane Andrews, and Ciara Phillips, the she-wolf I had taken in out of compassion after her family was brutally slaughtered by rogues. In a sultry, flirtatious tone, Ciara purred, “Zane, my love, if your wife discovers that the fertilized egg I planted in her womb isn’t truly hers by blood, she’ll be devastated—perhaps to the point of despairing suicide, don’t you think?” Zane snorted, his voice dripping with disdain at the mention of me. “It’ll work for us if she simply dies from heartbreak. Damn it. I can’t shake the worry that she might sever our bond and leave me with nothing. Let’s keep this under wraps until our child inherits all her assets. Only then will we reveal the bombshell, plunging her into darkness.” Ciara giggled, praising Zane for his cunning. My claws itched to lash out, but I held back, knowing the time for confrontation wasn’t yet. My heart sank as their betrayal cut deep. Years ago, I had defied my pack elders’ warnings about Ciara being a potential threat, taking her in and grooming her into our pack's doctor, funding her education out of sheer empathy. Now, I regretted every moment of my kindness. To think that my mate, who had once begged for my protection for his fragile pack, had the audacity to betray me. If not for my support, his pathetic pack would have crumbled long ago, leaving him nursing his wounds in a dark corner, fretting over survival. After a long moment of contemplation, I made my decision. I would feign ignorance to their schemes and play along by giving birth to Ciara’s baby. Two decades passed. Ciara’s child grew up, bearing the name Simon Andrews. Aware of their treachery, I still transferred all my assets to him. Once the paperwork was completed, Ciara boldly approached me in front of the entire pack, a maternity DNA test in hand. With a smug smile, she declared, “Leia Holland, look at this! I am Simon’s biological mother. Leave h

Attacked, turned, and far from home, Cassandra Patrice wakes up to a strange woman, a man she finds herself incredibly drawn to, and a voice in her head.

"Nona Gina, apa Anda yakin ingin menghapus semua informasi tentang identitas Anda? Apabila semua informasi tentang identitas Anda dihapus, nggak ada seorang pun yang bisa menemukan Anda." Gina merenung sejenak, kemudian menjawab sambil mengangguk, "Ya. Saya memang nggak mau ada seorang pun menemukan saya." Operator terkejut mendengarnya, lalu menjawab, "Baiklah. Nona Gina, perkiraan prosedur akan selesai dalam waktu dua minggu, mohon bersabar menunggu."

Suamiku bertanya apakah bra tanpa kawat itu lebih nyaman? Aku hanya tertawa dan mengira akhirnya dia peka. Keesokan harinya, dengan wajah panik, asisten mengambil paket yang baru saja kuambil, sambil berkata kalau alamatnya salah. Malamnya, aku melihat postingan Susan Kumala di media sosial, dengan keterangan, "Hadiah dari pacarku, bagus nggak?" Foto itu adalah selfie di kamar hotel dengan suasana yang cukup romantis dan ada kotak lingerie cantik berhias pita di sebelahnya. Ternyata, pria itu bukan tidak mengerti romantis, melainkan apakah dia bersedia melakukannya untukmu. Aku menekan tombol suka di postingannya, lalu mengirim tangkapan layar itu ke suamiku. "Kalau beli satu set bisa diskon 20%, kamu memang nggak pandai menghemat."

Setelah mengumumkan pengunduran diri, banyak orang bersorak dan sangat setuju. Hanya pacarku yang terlibat gosip dengan seorang pria bernama Sherwin, seorang musisi jenius yang tidak setuju. Di depan banyak wartawan, pria itu berpura-pura peduli. “Semua ini salah paham. Kak Yonatan adalah musisi berbakat yang tak tergantikan di dunia musik. Aku berharap dia bisa kembali berkarya.” Aku mematikan ponsel dan mengabaikannya. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, karya dan laguku sama persis dengannya. Netizen menyebutku plagiat, bahkan mengutuk seluruh keluargaku. Aku tidak terima dan membuktikan proses pembuatan laguku, tapi tetap saja kalah dengan waktu rilis lagunya. Lagu barunya dirilis sepuluh menit lebih cepat dariku. Hanya karena sepuluh menit itu, netizen mengirimkan karangan bunga dan foto pemakamanku, bahkan ada yang datang ke rumahku untuk menyiram cat. Selama beberapa tahun, perundungan media yang terus-menerus membuatku mengalami depresi. Orang tuaku menghabiskan semua harta mereka untuk membersihkan namaku, tetapi akhirnya mereka dibakar hidup-hidup oleh penggemar fanatik. Pada hari Sherwin memenangkan Golden Melody Awards untuk ciptaan lagunya, aku melompat dari gedung tinggi. Tak kusangka, saat membuka mata lagi, aku terlahir kembali.

Saat aku paling mencintai Stevan Nicolas, dia mencintai wanita lain. Hujan turun sangat deras dan aku menggigil kedinginan di bawah selimut semalaman, sedangkan dia memeluk wanita lain dan memberikan wanita itu kehangatan. Katanya, aku sangat manja, jadi dia tidak ingin melihatku lagi. Namun, dia tidak tahu bahwa aku akan segera meninggal dan dia tidak akan bisa melihatku lagi.

My world fell apart on the day of my Luna ceremony. My mother and older brother approached me with bad news. My younger sister, Lilith, was cursed and did not have long to live. They wanted me to fulfill her only wish before death. She wanted to replace me as my Alpha, Fenris', mate. That included giving her my Luna ceremony. I was shocked and angry. I looked at Fenris as I expected him to reject this ridiculous suggestion as well. However, he nodded. "Don't worry, Selene," he said to me. He sounded so sincere. "This is only temporary. Once we've fulfilled Lilith's last wish, you'll be my mate forever." I was adamant about rejecting that suggestion. It was too crazy! However, my 'beloved' brother, Damian, forcefully dragged me off into the Dark Forest, where it was rampant with wild beasts. That was also when I realized I was pregnant with Fenris' child. My pregnancy weakened my strength tremendously, and I was mauled by the wild beasts while still alive. By the time everyone remembered me, all that was left of me was a rotting corpse lying in the forest.

It was Christmas Eve. Once again, my parents left me alone at home, chasing triple pay at work. However, after twenty years of the same lonely holiday, I couldn’t take it anymore. I didn’t want to sit in the quiet house by myself again, so I packed up some sandwiches and went to them. What I didn’t expect was to see them stepping out of a luxury car, arms linked with a boy who looked about my age, laughing like they didn’t have a care in the world, heading straight into a five-star hotel. “Mom, Dad, is it okay to leave Suzie all alone at home like that?” My mom waved it off and said, “It’s fine. She’s used to it.” My dad just brushed it off with a chuckle. “She’s nothing like you. You're our real treasure.” Upon hearing that, I turned and walked away. They'd been pretending to be broke all these years, lying to me about working overtime, about scraping by. Well, fine. If they don’t want me, I’m done wanting them, too.
