I'm a photographer who has been specifically invited by Native Geographic to hike up Mount Morac in order to take a cover photo for the next issue.
Halfway up the mountain, I feel short of breath, and my heart keeps hammering in my chest. At the same time, I can feel my temples pulsing rapidly.
Realizing that these are the symptoms of altitude sickness, I quickly dig out an oxygen canister and inhale from it sharply.
But as soon as the gas hits my lungs, I realize that something is wrong. Immediately, I turn to look at my fiance, Julian Gray.
"What the hell is this?"
Strangely enough, my voice comes out shrill and high-pitched. I sound just like a cartoon character.
As soon as Julian and his junior colleague, Bianca Reed, hear my voice, they burst out in laughter.
"Ahahaha! Oh my god, you're too funny! Hahahah!"
Both of them holler in laughter. Bianca even starts hammering the snowy ground in a dramatic fashion.
I instantly realize that Julian and Bianca have secretly swapped out the life-saving oxygen canister to a helium canister instead just so they can pull a prank on me.
Once they finally have their fill of laughing at me, I manage to hiss out, "Give… Give me… the oxygen… canister…"
After Julian wipes his tears of laughter away, he waves a hand at me casually.
"Oh, Bianca's physically weak, so I've given her the oxygen canister. You're a strong one—just hang in there, and it'll pass soon enough."
I don't bother wasting my breath arguing with Julian. With trembling hands, I dig out a satellite phone.
"Mr. Perez, someone has maliciously switched out my oxygen canister to something else. I'm suffering from a severe case of altitude sickness right now. Please arrange for a rescue team to pick me up as soon as possible."

My younger sister, Amaya Reed, has died in the luxurious villa belonging to Jayden Parker, the richest man in the city.
News of the beautiful celebrity taking her own life due to depression is spread like wildfire. But I've already received the actual news of Amaya being tortured to death.
This all happened because of Amaya's uncanny resemblance to Jayden's first love, Louise Green. Louise was jealous of her due to her looks, so Jayden held a torture party in his villa. All the guests partied the night away while trampling all over Amaya's corpse.
"Haven't you always wanted to replace Louise? Well, you can die in her stead, then!"

Jayden often orders me to lie on his thighs so that he can toy with the ends of my hair.
"As long as you remain obedient, Ariana, I can promise you a lifetime of luxury and riches."
I pretend to whine coquettishly. "But I just want you, Mr. Parker."
My heart is as cold as ice when I utter those words.
I don't want your love nor your money, Jayden. I just want your life.
