After Rebirth, I Shred the Bimbo Beauty in Finance

After Rebirth, I Shred the Bimbo Beauty in Finance

Andrea Reeves, the new hire in finance, is all looks and no brains. On payday, she mistypes my wages in the payroll system, sending only one cent to my account. Because of that, my payment fails when I try to buy Mom's life-saving medication, and she dies full of regret. Before I can confront Andrea, she bursts into tears, smudging her mascara and makeup. "Ms. Walton, I'm so sorry. I accidentally sent your pay to the janitor you fired. The one who's a single mom. Can't you just think of her as your other mom?" Norman Halt, the finance director—and my husband—immediately shields her behind him. "Don't blame Andrea. If you didn't have enough money saved up, why are you pretending to be the dutiful daughter now?" I nearly faint from crying so hard. Wracked with guilt, Andrea shows up at the funeral with an entire marching band in tow. The mourning hall turns festive and lively, leaving my family and friends stunned. I lose it and yell at her to leave, but she looks completely hurt. "It's already so tragic that she dies from an illness. I just want to give her a joyful send-off!" Furious, the asthma I've managed for years flares so abruptly that my hands shake as I take out my inhaler. She slaps it away and screams, "How could you use such illegal substances? That's against the law!" Blue-lipped and gasping, I crumple to the ground. In my final moments, I hear Andrea's tearful voice. "This is all my fault. I'm an idiot… I didn't realize it's just medicine…" Norman covers for her. "It's not your fault. Spread the word that Ms. Walton died of grief over her mother's passing." That night, my body is cremated. My death goes silent and unnoticed. When I open my eyes again, it's payday all over again.

It's only after she's gone that Timothy searches for her like crazy. When he finds her, he does everything possible to beg her to go back to him. He paces outside her door and begs her incessantly, his eyes red-rimmed. However, she turns him down calmly. "It's too late—you're a closed chapter in my book, and I'm already on a new chapter."

Dendam Anak Angkat

Dean Han
Blurb : “Maaf! A-anda s-siapa?” Kanaya tersentak dengan mata membulat menyadari ia kini berada bersama seorang pria dewasa asing dalam sebuah kamar tertutup yang cukup mewah. Ia mengamati punggung kekar lelaki yang menatap ke luar jendela dan membelakanginya itu dengan tubuh dan bibir gemetar. Lalu, mengamati ranjang ukuran king size tempat ia terduduk sambil mengatupkan lutut. Lelaki itu bergeming sambil menghisap sebuah cigarret di jemari. Tak berselang lama, asap pekat mengepul ke udara, menerpa rambut model under cut-nya. Asap pekat itupun pecah di udara. Kanaya semakin gentar. Ia berupaya mencari jalan untuk bisa keluar dari tempat itu, atau lari dari lelaki misterius yang terlihat menyeramkan itu. Jantungnya berdegub kencang, tubuhnya gemetar. Ia sadar, saat ini ia sedang berada di tempat yang salah dan di dekat orang yang salah. Perlahan ia beringsut dan melangkah ke arah pintu. Namun, di saat yang sama, lelaki itu berbalik dan menatap Kanaya tajam dan dingin yang menikam. Dua netra bulat Kanaya makin membulat sempurna. “Om, siapa?” tanyanya gugup. *** Viona tidak menyangka dibalik kebahagiaannya hidup bersama Dion, ternyata memicu sebuah petaka beruntun yang harus ia hadapi.
