When Narcissism Comes To Church

Evelyn — They said the mate bond was sacred. That he'd protect me. Cherish me. Stay. But while I was screaming in a hospital bed, bringing his child into the world— he was in hers.

Pitong taon na silang kasal, ngunit laging malamig ang pakikitungo ni Eduardo, Monteverde kay Luna Santos. Ngunit si Luna ay palagi paring nakangiti, dahil sa mahal na mahal niya ito. Naniniwala rin siya na darating ang araw, mapapainit niya ang puso nito. Ngunit ang kanyang inaantay na pag-ibig ng lalaki ay napunta sa ibang babae, at ang kanyang pakikitungo sa babaeng ito ay mabuti. Nanatili pa rin siyang determinado sa kanilang kasal. Hanggang sa kaarawan niya, lumipad siya ng libo-libong milya patungo sa ibang bansa para makasama ang lalaki at ang kanyang anak na babae, ngunit dinala nito ang kanilang anak, para samahan ang babaeng iyon, iniwan siyang mag-isa sa walang laman na silid. Tuluyan ng sumuko si Luna matapos niyang makita na ang kanyang anak na babae ay gustong palitan siya ng ibang babae bilang ina. Hindi na siya nag dam-dam pa, nag-iwan siya ng sulat sa sobre para sa kasunduan ng diborsyo, isinuko niya ang kustodiya, at umalis ng may estilo. Mula noon, hindi na niya muli itong pinansin at hinihintay na mailabas ang sertipiko ng diborsyo. Itinuring niya ang kanyang pag-alis sa kanyang pamilya bilang isang pagkakataon para bumalik sa kanyang karera. Siya, na dating hinahamak ng lahat, ay madaling makakuha ng kayamanan na umaabot sa daan-daang bilyon. Ngunit sa kanyang mahabang paghihintay, ay ang hindi lamang pagdating ng sertipiko ng diborsyo, kundi ang lalaking ayaw mang-uwi noon ay mas madalas ng umuwi ngayon, at mas lalong nagiging malapit ito sa kanya. Nang malaman niyang gusto na niyang makipaghiwalay, ang karaniwang tahimik at malamig na lalaki ay sinunggaban siya at sinabi, “Diborsyo? Imposible.”

After I announced my exit from the music industry, the public response was overwhelmingly positive. The only person who voiced his objection was my girlfriend's rumored lover, the up-and-coming songwriter Lucas Zacker. He put on a show of sincerity in front of a crowd of reporters. "It's all a misunderstanding. Matthew is an irreplaceable talent in the music industry. I sincerely hope he returns to the stage." I shut off my phone and turned a blind eye to his public plea. In my past life, one of my songs had been identical to his supposedly original single. As such, netizens accused me of plagiarism, cursing me and wishing death upon my family. Frustrated, I posted the entire creation process online, but it couldn't stand up to the timeline. His new song had been released ten minutes ahead of mine. Just because of the ten-minute difference, netizens sent me photoshopped mourning portraits of myself and even went so far as to come to my house and vandalize it with paint. The relentless cyberbullying went on for years, and it drove me into a deep depression. My parents exhausted their life savings trying to clear my name, only for crazed fans to set our house on fire, causing my parents to burn to death. In the end, when his song won an award, I jumped off a building. But who would have guessed that when I opened my eyes again, I was reborn on the very day the new song was set to release.

The year of my college entrance exams, I gave up my acceptance to Harvard for James Carter. But after five years into our relationship, I ended it. Outside the dorm building, I caught him holding Sarah Williams, who was dripping in designer labels, locked in a passionate kiss. James smirked, "You're just a simple farmer. What kind of life could you possibly offer me?" But he seemed to forget that I had bought him everything - from his tailored Tom Ford suit to his Rolex watch. Heartbroken, I walked away. If someone else wanted to be a doormat for him, they could be my guest - I was done. Later, I focused on growing my agricultural business, eventually expanding into space farming. That's when the media uncovered my true identity as the heiress to a multi-billion dollar fortune. Mr. Williams groveled, forcing Sarah to kneel beside him, begging me to consider a business partnership. James, his eyes red from crying, grabbed my sleeve and said he regretted everything.

On the day I discovered I was pregnant, my husband's first love—who also happened to be my half-sister—returned.
