I stand in the hospital after my two older brothers decline all 99 of my phone calls. They finally appear, bringing with them the biological sister they found. My gentle eldest brother, who had once rescued me from my so-called abusive parents, raises his hand and slaps me across the face. "Cynthia, you're actually pretending to have a terminal illness just to compete with Sarah for our affection? And you came to this kind of place to frighten us?" I clutch my swollen cheek and listen as my second brother, who always says he'll trust me no matter what, holds Sarah in his arms and laughs out loud. "Are you trying to fake being sick to get our attention after seeing that Sarah is in poor health? "Just cut the act. You've been living in luxury since childhood and have always been in perfect health. How could you possibly be ill?" Sarah Crawford speaks up thoughtfully, "Don't blame her, you two. I think she just feels like I've stolen away your love for her, which is why she has become so unreasonable..." I look at the two brothers who have doted on me for ten years and suddenly feel that nothing matters anymore. After all, I only have seven days left to live. In seven days, everything will return to normal after my departure. But by then, they'll be the ones unable to accept it.

“Lila,” I began softly, choosing my words. “About last night...” She stood abruptly, cutting me off. “Don’t. There’s nothing to apologize for. It happened.” I frowned, trying to gauge her. “So, what are you saying?” She crossed her arms, steadying herself. “I’m saying I have a deal for you.” “A deal?” “We keep seeing each other—secretly. No one has to know. No strings attached.” I stared at her, wondering if she was serious. But from the look in her eyes, I knew she was. ********** Lila Frost, a brilliant bio-genetics student and the fiercely protected sister of Alpha King Ronan, returns to Silver Lake for a quiet summer focused on her research.

No dia do casamento, Afonso entrou tarde no salão, de braço dado com sua primeira paixão, vestindo o traje de padrinho. O terno do noivo? Jogado de qualquer jeito no sofá, num claro sinal de desordem. — Afonso, hoje não é o nosso casamento... — Júlia. — Ele interrompeu, com uma voz fria, cheia de aviso enquanto olhava para mim firme. — Você sabe muito bem o que pode e o que não pode dizer. Seja madura, não me faça te odiar. Só pude soltar um sorriso amargo. Tudo isso aconteceu porque a primeira paixão de Afonso perdeu a memória. Desde então, todos ao redor entraram nesse teatro coletivo para ajudá-la a recuperar as lembranças. Ninguém podia permitir que ela se sentisse perturbada. Para manter a paz, Afonso até tentou me consolar, aproximando-se para um abraço e murmurando ao meu ouvido: — Juju, você entende meu lado, certo? Acenei em silêncio, e fui capaz de me desprender de tudo ao segurar a mão do verdadeiro padrinho e seguir de cabeça erguida rumo ao altar. No entanto, mais tarde, enquanto eu, grávida, fazia compras no shopping, Afonso apareceu diante de mim, com os olhos cheios de lágrimas. — Juju, não estávamos apenas atuando todo esse tempo? Como você pôde engravidar?

A viúva do melhor amigo do meu marido postou nas redes sociais uma foto do ultrassom da gravidez. [Obrigada pelo seu esperma que me permitiu ter meu próprio bebê.] Quando vi o nome do meu marido, Gustavo, preenchendo o campo "pai" no exame, comentei apenas com um ponto de interrogação. Gustavo me ligou na mesma hora, gritando furioso comigo: — Ela é uma viúva que vive sozinha e só quer ter uma criança para fazer companhia, você não tem nem um pingo de compaixão? Além disso, Valentino era meu amigo, e agora que morreu tenho a obrigação de cuidar da mulher dele. Isso se chama lealdade, entende? Semanas depois, a viúva do amigo dele exibiu fotos de um apartamento luxuoso em Leblon. [Ainda bem que você está comigo, me fazendo sentir de novo o verdadeiro aconchego de um lar.] Na foto, Gustavo aparecia ocupado na cozinha, e naquele momento soube que aquele casamento precisava chegar ao fim.

No momento da explosão no laboratório, meu namorado, Gustavo Sena, correu desesperado... Mas não até mim. Ele correu até Lívia Cardoso, que estava distante do centro da explosão, e a protegeu com o próprio corpo. Quando o barulho cessou, ele a levou imediatamente ao hospital, nos braços. Nem sequer olhou para mim, caída no chão, coberta de sangue. Aquela garota que ele criou e cuidou por dezoito anos preenchia completamente seu coração. Não havia mais espaço para mim. Meus colegas me levaram ao hospital. Sobrevivi por pouco. Depois de sair da UTI, com os olhos ainda inchados de tanto chorar, liguei para meu orientador: — Professor Luís, eu pensei bem e tomei uma decisão. Aceito ir com você para o projeto de pesquisa confidencial. Mesmo que a viagem seja em um mês, e eu não possa ter contato com ninguém por cinco anos... Está tudo bem. Em um mês, eu me casaria e realizaria um sonho que eu alimentava há muito tempo. Mas agora... Eu já não quero mais.
