Right before the syndicate's power handover, I flew back to New York after a year of studying jewelry design in Europe. But the night before the ceremony, my secret boyfriend of three years—the Rossi family's new second-in-command—sent me a text: [Sorry, Chloe. I lost a card game, and you were my chip. You're his problem now.] Before I could even breathe, I got tagged in the family's encrypted dark-web channel. The top thread was blowing up: [The Mafia Boss Just Won a Fat Pig for a Girlfriend!] Pinned right at the top was an old photo of me from a few years ago. Back when I was 180 pounds. The comment section was ruthless: [If the Boss knew what he actually won, he'd regret making that bet.] [I bet a thousand bucks she stays hidden at home. Who's in?] They were all dead sure I wouldn't show up. After all, everyone knew me as the ugly fat girl. The old me would have locked myself in my room and cried, letting my boyfriend walk all over me. But after a year away, he had no idea what kind of surprise I had for him. I had dropped from 180 pounds to a flawless, curve-hugging 105. Model scouts even stopped me on the street to ask if I wanted to walk in Fashion Week. So I checked the betting board, dropped fifty grand on myself showing up on time, and sent my reply: [Fine. I'll play your little game.]

My friend, George, and I are both knocked unconscious by a basketball. When I wake up, I suddenly hear my late mother's voice. "Tam, don’t let George fool you again. He loves pretending to have amnesia just to toy with you and please Ariana Rogers." I freeze and look at George, who has just woken up. I hear him ask, "Who are you?" My mom goes on, "In your past life, he ruined you. You gave him a good life and everything you have, but he killed you just to be with Ariana. "Listen, your dad is about to ask you to choose a boy to be your brother. Don't pick George. Choose the boy from the Muller family. Even though he never smiles or gives you the time of day. He quietly carries your bottle for you during training every time." Before I can process it, my dad walks toward me and holds out several photos of boys. He says, "Tam, they are all children of soldiers who sacrificed for our country. I plan to adopt one to be your brother. You choose. From now on, we will be a family." This time, I do not hesitate. I point straight at Clyde Muller. "I'll listen to Mom and choose him."

I was born a liar. That was the label my mother gave me. In the Dark Moon Pack, every pup carries a Lunar Mark on their wrist. Green means truth. Red means liar. My twin sister Maya slashed Mommy's ceremonial dress with a blade and blamed the pack hounds. Her wrist stayed soft and green. My mark went crimson when I said I was cold. "Mommy, I'm telling the truth. Please believe me." Elena would crouch down, look me in the eye, and say the same thing every time. "The Goddess's mark is absolute, Selena. Your own heart betrays you." She never touched me. She just looked at my wrist with disgust. No matter how honest I tried to be, my heart would race when I was scared. And every time my pulse spiked, the mark turned red. I lied when I said I was hungry. I lied when I said I loved her. I lied when I cried. After enough years, I stopped fighting back. I started to believe her. Maybe I really was broken. Maybe I was just born wrong. The night I died, I wrote one last line in my Penance Journal. "Mommy, help me. It hurts. Please — just believe me once." She never saw it. She had already locked the door and walked away. I'm sorry, Mommy. I died still trying to get it right. In my next life — will you hold me?

Five years ago, biomedical researcher Mara Ellison’s husband, Caleb Warren, was involved in an accident while on a business trip in Australia and was declared “missing.” Everyone told Mara that he was dead. Unable to cope with the loss, Mara once attempted to take her own life, but Caleb’s best friend, Julian Hayes, saved her and stayed by her side through the next three years of trauma and recovery. In the fourth year, Mara finally opened her heart to Julian, and the two began a relationship. In the fifth year, Mara discovered she was pregnant and planned to surprise Julian with the news. Instead, she accidentally found evidence in his study revealing that Caleb had never died. He had already built a new family with Mara’s best friend, Sienna Brooks, and the two had a four-year-old daughter. As Mara continued investigating, she learned that Julian had known the truth from the very day he saved her five years earlier—and that even her own mother, Helen, had known all along. Everyone had helped maintain the lie for five years, all in the name of “protecting” her. After the truth came out, Mara lost the baby due to complications in early pregnancy. Caleb, Sienna, Julian, and Helen each eventually confessed what had really happened five years before. Mara finally understood that they had not lied to her only once. Every single day for the past five years, they had made the choice to keep deceiving her. In the end, Mara forgave none of them. She left the city, returned to work, rebuilt her life, and continued therapy, slowly freeing herself from her emotional dependence on Julian. A year later, when Mara saw Julian again, she no longer needed his explanations. At the end of the story, she buys a pair of white baby shoes in memory of the child she lost and writes on the card, “Mommy remembers you.” Only then does she truly understand that the person who finally pulled her out of the ruins was herself.
