Seven years ago, I spent a romantic night with the wealthy businesswoman Ashley Finch. Soon she gave birth to our daughter, Mia Finch. I gave up my career and went to her city, and lived in the Finch's house. However, on the night when Mia was critically ill, Ashley went to take care of her injured first love. She hated that our daughter was always sick and avoided meeting her. She also despised me for being a good-for-nothing, unable to give a hand to her career. Later, our daughter died, and I stopped pretending as well. She, however, knelt on the ground and pleaded desperately, "Honey,
My daughter was raped and became pregnant. When I was about to call the police, she insisted it wasn't rape but "forced love," claiming he did it out of affection for her. She pleaded not to involve the police, fearing her child would lose its father. Distraught, I urged her to consider abortion, but she accused me of cruelty, adamantly declaring it was a baby deserving life. Later, the rapist accidentally killed me in an attempt to take away my properties. My daughter, in an unexpected turn, sided with him, alleging I provoked him into self-defense and even signed a statement to that effect. When
In the third year of our marriage, my wife decided to undergo artificial insemination for her cancer-stricken, unattainable love. I opposed the idea, declaring that I would die if she chose to proceed with it. But she slapped the divorce papers right in front of me with a disgusted look, shouting, "He is dying! Can't you put an end to your selfishness and lies?" In the end, my efforts faltered, leading to the system's punishment of forcing me to jump from the 18th floor. 1 "Jerry Ward, it's just artificial insemination. I'm not going to have sex with Matthew Cooper. Why can't you be a
My older brother was diagnosed with leukemia when he was 6 years old. The doctors gave him a grim prognosis, saying he wouldn't live past 10. From then on, I had to cater to my brother's every whim. My parents constantly reminded me, "Eda, be understanding. Your brother has only a few years to enjoy life, so let him have his way. "This is unfair to you, but we can't favor him for long, right?" Later, my brother underwent a successful bone marrow transplant, but tragically, I was diagnosed with leukemia. I was even a little happy, thinking, " This time, maybe I'll be the
I was the third princess, a low-ranking maid's daughter, while the empress said I was a ragtag. The emperor was ashamed of me and abandoned me in the isolated palace where I grew up without care and love. The empress hated my mother for seducing the emperor, so she had been shortchanging my mother and me. My sister took pleasure in scolding and insulting me, treating me as her pet. And my birth mother, believing that I was the reason for her misery, also often beat and scolded me. My father, the emperor, summoned me for the first time in sixteen years, because he wanted
My mother broke my sister's and my limbs, turning us into marionettes. Whenever she and my father slept together, my grandmother would hold the strings, making my sister and me perform opera outside their room. It was said that if we sang for forty-nine days straight, my mother would conceive a baby boy. But on the forty-eighth day, my sister died. 1 My sister and I are twins. Her name is Lily, and I'm Zoe. When my mother gave birth to two girls, she saw it as bad luck and refused to nurse us. Just when we were on the brink of starvation, a traveling priest passed through
When I was being held down and humiliated, my brother Ethan White held a grand wedding downstairs. I called him for help. But his voice was cold and disgusted, "Are you playing the victim again? Layla, why don't you die?!" I hung up the phone and jumped from the top floor. I landed on the statue at his wedding. The wings of the statue pierced my body. I used my last strength to smile and said to Ethan, "Don't worry... I'm going to die now." 1 Through the French windows of the nursing home, I saw Ethan lowering his head and talking on the phone. The light and shadows
Shirley Shawn said she owed me a wedding. On the day of the wedding, in a wedding dress, she went to find her "younger brother" who was trying to kill himself. The host and the guests were dumbfounded. I suppressed the pain and took the microphone gracefully. "Welcome to the divorce ceremony between me and Shirley Shawn. Just enjoy yourselves!" Later, she stood in front of my car wearing a wedding dress and cried, saying, "Please give me a chance. Let's start over." I held my woman's hand and politely said, "No need. Your boy might be angry again." 1 The symphony played as the door of
My pregnant wife ignored my protests and went on an overseas trip with her high school sweetheart.
