El día que cumplo veinte años, mis papás ponen ante mí las fotos de herederos de las grandes dinastías empresariales del país para que elija con quién formalizar una alianza. En mi vida anterior escogí sin dudar a Alonso Rivas, el heredero más brillante de la élite capitalina. Después del matrimonio supe que la mujer de sus sueños, Daniela Romero, se hundió en una espiral de dolor: una noche, borracha en un bar, fue agredida por unos sujetos; intentó quitarse la vida tres veces. Alonso decidió que yo era la raíz de todo, le regaló a Daniela los bienes de mi familia y vació a los Molina. Al final, incluso la dejó cortar los frenos, condenándonos a los tres a morir en un accidente brutal Esta vez, con los ojos cerrados, elegí al azar una foto. Dejé que el destino eligiera por mí. Al final, Alejandro de la Vega el destino lo trajo a mi lado, heredero de Guadalajara: austero, espiritual, con el corazón en paz. Pero cuando entré del brazo de Alejandro a nuestra fiesta de compromiso… Alonso enloqueció.

During the holiday season, a flood hits. The company's warehouse is submerged up to the third floor. Due to the emergency, I have my assistant tell everyone to come back a day early to help. I promise that the company will provide stipends and extra time off to make up for this. But on that day, a Gen Z employee goes live across the internet to report me. "Oh, my God. It's 2025, yet there are still companies forcing employees to adjust their time off and work overtime! Is this heartless boss so broke that she needs to exploit us like this? Will she die if she doesn't squeeze us out of every drop of usefulness? Company notices override the law. Impressive stuff, this is!" Soon, the company ends up on the trending list due to criticism from the online community. Even the regulators come knocking to hold us accountable. In the end, the company is forced to cancel the notice. A lot of equipment isn't salvaged in time, resulting in significant losses. The employee even posts a victory lap. "Give the boss a tiny lesson—see if she dares to force overtime again!" I'm so angry that I laugh out loud. I tell my assistant to cancel the annual benefit we give all employees—an entire month of paid time off for Christmas and the New Year holidays. If we have to stick strictly to the law, then fine. Have it your way!

Nach dem großen Krieg zwischen Menschen und Tierwandlern wurde vereinbart, dass Halbwandler die Welt regieren sollen. Alle hundert Jahre findet eine Hochzeit zwischen Mensch und Tierwandler statt. Wer einen Halbwandler zur Welt bringt, dessen Kind wird der nächste Herrscher der Allianz. In meinem vorigen Leben heiratete ich den erstgeborenen Sohn des Wolfsclans, der für seine Hingabe berühmt war, und gebar ihm noch vor den anderen einen weißen Halbwolf. Unser Kind wurde der nächste Herrscher über die Allianz, und so fiel ihm zwangsläufig unermessliche Macht zu. Meine Schwester hingegen heiratete aus Gier nach Schönheit in den Fuchsclan, doch der Erbe war ein notorischer Schürzenjäger. Sie infizierte sich mit einer Krankheit und verlor ihre Fruchtbarkeit. Vor Eifersucht zündete meine Schwester an und verbrannte mich und meinen jungen weißen Wolf bei lebendigem Leib. Als ich die Augen wieder öffnete, war ich zurück am Tag der Hochzeitszeremonie. Meine Schwester war bereits in Lukas Steinbergs Bett gestiegen. Ich wusste, sie war ebenfalls wiedergeboren. Doch was meine Schwester nicht wusste: Lukas war von Natur aus grausam und verherrlichte Gewalt – bei weitem kein guter Partner!

Mit zwanzig legte mir der steinreiche Kriegskamerad meines Großvaters die Fotos aller seiner Enkel vor. „Such dir einen aus“, sagte er. „Einen Mann für dich.“ Ohne eine Sekunde zu zögern zeigte ich auf den sechsten: Dieter Weber. Die Anwesenden waren schockiert. Schließlich wusste jeder, dass ich immer nur den dritten Weber-Enkel, Egon, wollte. In meinem vorherigen Leben hatte ich meinen Willen bekommen: Ich heiratete Egon Weber. Und dank dieser Heirat erbte er den Großteil des Familienvermögens. Doch nach der Hochzeit ging er eine Affäre mit meiner jüngeren Schwester ein. Meine Eltern waren außer sich vor Wut und schickten meine Schwester zum Studium ins Ausland. Doch Egon war überzeugt, ich hätte sie auseinandergebracht. Von da an hasste er mich aus tiefster Seele. Von da an war er ständig von Frauen umgeben, die meiner Schwester ähnlich sahen. Jede Einzelne. Ich verfiel in eine schwere Depression. Anstatt mir zu helfen, wurden meine Medikamente gegen ein langsames Gift ausgetauscht – von ihm. Am Ende starb ich, mit seinem ungeborenen Kind im Leib. Nun, da ich noch einmal leben durfte, würde ich ihnen den Weg freimachen. Doch was ich nicht ahnte: Auch Egon Weber war zurückgekehrt!

Kyla Adams is a workaholic. I mean, who wouldn't be when you're working your dream job? She is one of the many writers for a startup business in North Carolina called "Clicked," where the focus is writing about hot gossip, new trends, and out of the ordinary experiences. Think of this social media app as an online magazine, where the workers are gossip hungry millennials and Gen Z'ers all trying to top one another. And the best part- Dakota Kramer; the hot young CEO at the top floor of the office building. Kyla is the job. She thrives on gossip and is a phenomenal writer, but lately her articles have been dryer than her dating life. After Dakota threatens to fire her if she doesn't step out of her comfort zone, Kyla and her friends drunkenly email Dakota an exciting new article proposal titled "EleDATE." What does the hell does this mean? Kyla must ride the elevator every morning, starting from floor 1 up to floor 50-the top floor- with a hand picked single guy from the office. The catch? She's blindfolded. She must rely on her instincts about the "bachelors" and the impressions they make during their limited time riding together- and they must remain anonymous. With over 100 employees in the building, 50 floors, and 20 single men willing to participate, this will sure make for an intriguing article and a literal make or break career moment. And let's face it... there's just something about elevators.
