My daughter only scored a 99 on a test, and my husband punished her for it all night. He made her stand for hours, and it triggered a heart attack. When she called him for help, he was busy tutoring his old flame’s son and hung up, telling her to “drop dead” if she was gonna be so dramatic. She died on the first day of her winter break. 1 My daughter died on the first day of winter break. It was also her birthday. I was out of town for work. The day before, I'd called her, promising I'd be back for

My wife, Sarah, was a schoolteacher, the kind who pushed our son, Alex, way too hard. Just because he got second place in a math test, she beat him, locked him in the school’s creepy basement. I later heard her on his smartwatch, yelling, “Are you an idiot? Only 98% on a math test!” “Do you even know how embarrassed you made me? You should just go die!” But at the same time, she was all sweet and caring towards this kid named Kevin, who was average at best. Then, like she wished, Alex died. And her perfect life ended right there. 1 I

The day I was supposed to marry Brittany Sterling, the heiress, she ditched me and my mom on some backroad to go chase after her childhood sweetheart. My mom had a heart attack, and I was begging her to come back and help us. Brittany just hung up on me, "Oh, here we go again. Every time I'm busy, your mom fakes a heart attack. You guys are such drama queens!" My mom passed away while we were waiting for help. That night, one of our mutual friends posted a pic on Insta with the caption: "Childhood sweethearts are the real deal!" The picture showed

The wind whipped at my face, stinging cold up here on the 18th floor. Down below, the giant LED screen in the plaza was broadcasting my sister's fairytale wedding to some rich kid, Chad Worthington. I dialed the number, a mix of familiar and foreign in my mind. "Hey, sis, congrats on the big day." Her voice was icy, as usual. "Luke, you still haven't croaked yet? What's taking you so long?" I smiled, and with a light step, launched myself into the air. "Your wish is my command." 1. The day my sister came back to the States, she picked me up from Harmony Wellness Center. I stood at

The day of my wedding, my mom got down on her knees, begging me to give my fiancé to my younger sister. My brother, all exasperated, said, "Can't you be understanding for once? Brittany's got depression, she can't handle this stress." My dad just slapped me across the face. "What are you crying about, you little jinx? Should have been you that died, not the other one." It's okay. I will die. But when news of my actual death finally came, my brother's cold face briefly flashed panic. "That’s not real, they’re lying!" Dad clutched his chest, a look of agony on his face. “How?

My husband, Dean, believed his "angel's" lies, kicked me while I was pregnant, and called me a whore. My own brother, Liam, was set to marry the woman who murdered our mother, treating me with cold disdain and saying I should die. The two men I loved most sent me to a hellish prison. After being tortured there, my heart turned to ash. Now, they're on their knees, begging for my forgiveness. …… "Prisoner 76, you better learn to play by the rules when you get out. No more of your crap, or I'll make sure you regret it.” The warden’s words were

The ground was shaking like crazy when it hit. Me and my little sister, Lily, we got buried under a bunch of rubble. I was in bad shape, barely hanging on. Mom, who was part of the rescue crew, was trying to pry this huge chunk of concrete off of me, but it looked like she was trying to get to Lily instead. I begged her not to move it, that it would crush me. But she just snapped at me, "You're such a cold-hearted brat! You'd rather see your own sister die? So selfish! I wish we never had you." And just like she

Mark slammed the divorce papers onto the table in front of me. “Just sign them, okay? I still love you, but I need to have a kid of my own.” I’d been about to tell him that I'd had a secondary presentation – I'd gone from being a beta to an omega. We could have a kid. But looking at his impatient face, I swallowed the good news. “Fine. I hope you don’t regret this, Mark.” He didn’t know that another man’s mark was already on the back of my neck. 1 When I got the results confirming my secondary presentation, I practically vibrated with

And I fixed myself right into the grave trying to help my brother. After I died, my brother’s whole family took over my house, killed my dog, and abused my daughter! In the dead of winter, they were chowing down on a hot pot of dog meat while forcing my six-year-old, Lily, to wash dishes in ice-cold water! Once, when Lily snuck in a little hot water, my sister-in-law caught her.
