My mom’s condition took a sudden turn for the worse. She was coughing up blood, and the doctors said she needed surgery immediately.
I called my boyfriend, Caleb, who was working out of state. He was a genius surgeon, the only one who could possibly save her.
He answered, promised he was on his way, but halfway here, he called back. There was an emergency surgery, he said. He couldn't make it.
I crouched in the sterile hospital corridor, my hope draining away with every unanswered call I made to him.
I could only watch as my mom's EKG line grew weaker and weaker.
On the ninety-ninth call, he finally picked up.
My voice was a desperate whisper. "Caleb, my mom is in critical condition. You're the only one who can do this surgery. I'm begging you, please, come back."
Caleb was silent for a long time.
I waited, and waited, until he hung up without a word.
And then I saw the post from his little protégée, showing off the sunny-side up eggs he had just fried for her with his own two precious hands.
The caption was a thinly veiled taunt.
[Had a little accident today, but my mentor didn't blame me at all. He even cheered me up. ?]
So that was his "emergency surgery"—cleaning up his protégée's mess.
In my moment of absolute desperation, he had abandoned me for another woman.

The day Landon and I were supposed to get our marriage license, my sister was pushed from the 99th floor and ended up in a coma.
The culprit was Landon’s stepsister, Sierra Holt.
In the security footage from the police, I saw Sierra and her friends beat my sister so badly that she lost control of her bowels, forcing her to kneel and beg for mercy.
"Look at you, all grown up and still wetting your pants like a little kid!"
Sierra laughed as she cornered her, then shoved her off the ledge.
The sight of them celebrating made my entire body shake with rage. Landon’s face was grim as he held me tight.
"She's gone too far! The company's entire legal team is yours. We’ll make sure Sierra learns her lesson this time!"
I thought Landon was finally done spoiling his stepsister, that he’d finally drawn a line.
But on the day we were supposed to file the lawsuit, Sierra dropped out of school.
[My big brother is sending me to Great Britain to live like a royal princess. Hope someone doesn't die of jealousy! ?]
Landon’s “like” on her post burned my eyes.
I held up my phone, my hands trembling as I confronted him.
"Aria, Sierra cried and admitted she was wrong. She even wrote a letter of apology."
"Let's just drop it. Your sister is still alive, after all. I'll take care of her from now on."
So, a human life wasn't worth as much as Sierra's tears.

The newbie associate, all high and mighty because she wanted to play the "legal prodigy," volunteered for a court hearing.
But when the opposing counsel started grilling her, she folded like a cheap suit, and our case went south fast.
After the verdict, she ran crying to my fiancé, making excuses:
"Waaah, the other lawyer was so mean! It was my first time, and I got so nervous!"
Because of her screw-up, our client, who should've walked free, was now facing hard time.
My fiancé and my protégé just patted her on the head, all sympathetic:
"Don't worry, sweetie, nobody wins 'em all!"
"Our Lexi is so smart, she'll crush it next time."
I blew a gasket.
"Court isn't a playground! It's about finding the truth and fighting for justice!"
"An innocent person is going to prison because of your incompetence! How can you even sleep at night?"
Lexi, acting all offended, started sobbing and threatening to jump off the roof.
My fiancé and protégé, instead of telling her to grow up, twisted the whole thing around, making me the villain.
They blamed me for everything, making me Lexi’s scapegoat.
I was forced to resign in disgrace and was threatened with losing my license.
Desperate and alone, I was crossing the street when a car hit me. End of story.
But now I'm back, reliving the day we went to court with Miss Perfect.
This time, things are going to be different.
