Tras 99 Perdones

Even on my hundredth proposal, Isabelle Cole still turns me down. We've been together for seven years. For the previous 99 proposals, she said her childhood friend isn't married yet, and she can't bring herself to break the promise they've made. Staring at the ring in my hand, I finally can't hold it in anymore. "If Ronald never gets married, are you going to keep him company forever? What am I to you?" Isabelle's expression turns gloomy in an instant. She snatches the ring and throws it into the river. "Ron and I made a promise when we were kids that we'd get married at the same time. How can I just abandon him? "And besides, is that piece of paper really all that important, Lucas? We've been together for seven years. What difference would it even make?"

My CEO boyfriend promises that he'll only complete 99 wishes with his first love—she's lost her memory after being injured. However, I see them curling up in each other's arms when the wishes are completed. Later, I stop pestering him about him caring for his first love. All I ask from him is an anklet for a baby—I want it as a remembrance of our child's birth, which is happening soon. His gaze softens at the mention of the child. "Once I'm done with this, I'll accompany you shopping so we can pick out things for the baby." I nod compliantly. I don't tell him it's already been a week since I asked a lawyer to draft a breakup agreement. In fact, we're already broken up.

Ich war seit drei Jahren mit dem besten Freund meines Bruders, Emilio Slater, zusammen, aber er war nie bereit, unsere Beziehung öffentlich zu machen. Trotzdem habe ich nie an seiner Liebe zu mir gezweifelt. Schließlich war er vor mir mit 99 Frauen zusammen, doch wegen mir hörte er auf, sich für irgendwen sonst zu interessieren. Selbst wenn ich nur leicht erkältet war, ließ er milliardenschwere Projekte stehen und eilte nach Hause, um sich um mich zu kümmern. Doch an meinem Geburtstag, als ich voller Vorfreude dabei war, Emilio von meiner Schwangerschaft zu erzählen, vergaß er zum ersten Mal meinen Geburtstag und verschwand spurlos. Die Haushälterin sagte mir, er sei zum Flughafen gefahren, um jemanden Wichtiges abzuholen. Ich hetzte dorthin und sah ihn mit Blumen in der Hand, das Gesicht voller nervöser Erwartung, wie er auf eine Frau wartete – eine, die mir erschreckend ähnlich sah. Später erzählte mir mein Bruder, sie sei Emilios erste Liebe, die eine, die er nie vergessen könne. Wegen ihr stellte Emilio sich gegen seine Eltern, und als sie ihn verließ, brach er völlig zusammen. Danach suchte er 99 Frauen, die ihr ähnelten, um die Leere zu füllen. Mein Bruder sprach voller Bewunderung über Emilios tiefe Hingabe, ohne zu ahnen, dass ich nur eine dieser Ersatzfiguren war. Ich beobachtete Emilio und seine erste Liebe lange, sehr lange. Dann ging ich ohne zu zögern zurück ins Krankenhaus. „Herr Doktor, ich will dieses Kind nicht mehr.“

For three years of marriage, Jeanette Schafer had devoted herself completely to caring for Skyler Weisberg, who was confined to a wheelchair. Yet, Skyler harbored nothing but contempt for her.

The day finally came when Skyler's legs had healed enough for him to stand again. Yet, the first thing he did was to drive straight to the airport to pick up his first love. Years of selfless devotion and tender care meant nothing compared to his 'the one that got away'. Swallowing the heartbreak, Jeanette made a call. She whispered, "The contract is fulfilled. I'm filing for divorce." Only after she walked away did Skyler realize what he had lost. But by then, it was already too late.

Bertahun-tahun pengorbanan dan kasih sayang Claire tetap tidak bisa menandingi sang cinta sejati di hati Julian.

In my last international car racing championship, the front tire of my car suddenly burst, causing the car to roll over. The cars behind me collided with me one by one. After 99 times, I was unrecognizable from the impacts. Just as I reached out to my boyfriend for help by instinct, he kicked me away, my body covered in blood and flesh. “Don't dirty my newly tailored clothes today.” He turned around, picked up the champion who had just crossed the finish line, and spun her around, smiling and saying: “Sharon, only the championship trophy is worthy of you. I will remove all obstacles for you.” Blood stained my entire body. Watching the two of them embrace as the sun set, I felt numb and desperate. What he didn't know was that among these red stains was the child who had just come into this world. At that moment, I gave up on continuing to love him.

Jasper Oakley's first love, Pauline Simmons, is about to get married. In order to make her regret her decision, Jasper volunteers to guard the border. In doing so, he chooses to abandon the General's Manor and me, his wife. I've written 99 letters to him, yet I've never received a response from him. On the third year, I don't write any letters anymore. One day, I'm sitting on a chaise lounge while drinking supplements delivered from the palace when Jasper suddenly returns to the manor. As he stares at my pregnancy bump of six months, he gnashes his teeth together angrily. "You never came to the border to visit me in the past three years of our marriage. Whose spawn are you pregnant with?" I remain nonchalant. "Since you refuse to treat your own wife nicely, someone else needs to pick up the slack, right?"
