"....do you Mr Amber take Miss Lexy to be your wedded wife till the end of time?" I waited for a response, I was supposed to be standing in front of my husband to be, waiting for him to say yes and then get wedded to him for the rest of my miserable life,but guess what? It wasn't My husband to be in front of me, it was his best friend holding up his phone! My husband to be claimed he had important things to do and so he wouldn't make it hear in person! And so,he decided to do a voice -not video call!! "Yeah sure whatever", he said immediately and hung the phone. I paused first... realizing what just happened. And then the conclusion was done. I was doomed! ********* Being forced to marry a well feared and known gangster is bad, but not knowing who you're married to is worse! Lexy finds herself being forced to become the wife of a well known serial killer and Don of all Don's. She finds herself trapped in all angles as she realizes that she can't leave this marriage until one of them is dead, and she gladly puts herself on the front line to die first than spend her entire life with blood and guns all over again like her previous life. But her Don doesn't give up on her anytime soon no matter how infuriating she was and keeps his vow he made to her mother. Allowing herself to finally submit, she realizes her life is about to destroy ten times more than how it was before. Will she finally break from his charm over her, or will she stay and fight with the most feared gangster in the world, the Don of all Dons

[Akhirnya sekian lama terpisah, kini dipersatukan kembali. Semoga langgeng ya Mbak, Mas, lancar untuk kalian. Happy Engagement]Aku terkesiap kaget melihat status WA Farah, adik iparku. Status yang disertai foto seorang wanita cantik tengah berhadapan dengan seorang pria. Wanita itu tersenyum menghadap kamera, sedangkan sang lelaki hanya terlihat bagian punggung saja. Perawakannya sangat kukenali, seperti suamiku, walaupun aku tak melihat wajahnya langsung, tapi aku sangat mengenali lelaki yang membersamaiku tujuh tahun ini.Seketika dadaku bergemuruh hebat, entah ini hanya prasangkaku saja atau memang benar ada rahasia dengan mereka semua.Namun, saat aku ingin membalas status Farah lagi. Postingan itu sudah terhapus, mungkin sengaja dihapus karena aku telah melihatnya.Ya Allah, ada apa ini? Kenapa hal ini makin membuat kecurigaanku semakin menjadi?Aku menghela nafas panjang, lalu mencoba menghubungi suamiku untuk memastikan semua ini. Ya, saat ini Mas Damar memang tengah pulang ke kampung halamannya. Ibu mertua tengah sakit katanya, dia meminta izin padaku untuk tiga hari ke depan. Aku tak diperbolehkan ikut, pasalnya aku baru saja melahirkan anak kedua kami tiga minggu yang lalu. Bayi kami masih rawan bila dibawa pergi perjalanan jauh. Keluarga mertuaku tak bisa datang kesini saat aku melahirkan, itu semua karena kebetulan ibu mertua tengah sakit. Aku mengurus bayiku sendirian, bersama anak sulungku yang berusia enam tahun. Sementara aku tak punya keluarga, sejak kecil ayah dan ibu sudah tiada. Harus mandiri, itulah prinsipku hingga tak ingin merepotkan keluarga suami ataupun yang lainnya.Aku menghubungi Mas Damar, tapi panggilanku tak diangkat olehnya, membuat pikiranku makin kacau. Untuk memastikannya segera kukirim pesan pada Farah.[Farah, kok statusnya dihapus? Tadi foto pertunangan siapa ya? Kok lakinya kayak gak asing gitu, kayak Mas Damar]Terkirim dan langsung terbaca oleh Farah pesan WA-ku ini.Dia terlihat sedang mengetik sebuah balasan. Cukup lama aku menunggu, hingga balasan itu terkirim padaku.[Oh, itu pertunangan tetangga di sini, Mbak. Dulunya mereka hampir saja menikah, tapi karena suatu hal mereka berpisah. Setelah sekian tahun mereka kembali dan nyambung lagi. Tenang saja Mbak, bukan Mas Damar kok. Mas Damar sedang di kamarnya ibu]Seolah tahu isi pikiranku, Farah mengirim balasan yang membuat perasaanku sedikit lega. Syukurlah bukan Mas Damar.[Gimana keadaan ibu, apa sudah membaik?] Balasku lagi.[Iya, Mbak] balas Farah singkat. Dan tak ada embel-embel yang lainnya. Dan percakapan kami sudah sampai disitu saja, cukup menyisakan banyak tanya.Aku terperanjat kaget saat mendengar tangisan si kecil. Mungkin karena efek usai melahirkan, perasaanku jadi lebih sensitif dan kacau begini. Kembali mengusap wajah dan beristighfar agar dada ini tak terlalu sesak untuk bernafas.Usai berhasil menidurkan bayiku, kembali aku melihat ponsel. Hening, tak ada apapun dari Mas Damar.Aku kembali cek status WA yang lainnya. Tak ada apapun kecuali story WA adik ipar yang membuatku kembali terhenyak. Dia memposting foto keluarga, yang pria memakai kemeja batik, sedangkan yang wanita memakai kebaya brokat. Ada Mas Damar dan ibu mertua yang tengah duduk dengan senyuman yang lebar. Bahkan disana terlihat dengan jelas kalau ibu mertua baik-baik saja, dengan wajah full make-up. Tidak terlihat sakit seperti yang Mas Damar tuturkan kemarin.Deg! Kembali dadaku bergemuruh kencang, melihat kemeja batik yang dikenakan Mas Damar seperti lelaki berfoto membelakangi kamera di status Farah tadi. Segala pemikiran buruk mulai menghantui lagi. Ada apa ini?Mendadak aku takut, takut kalau suamiku mengkhianati. Dan dia merahasiakannya padaku. Ya Allah, kenapa perasaan gelisah ini tak kunjung hilang?Rasa penasaran yang tinggi membuatku kembali menghubungi suamiku. Hampir setengah jam lamanya panggilan terus kulakukan tanpa henti, tapi tak ada respon dari si empunya nomor. Sungguh, aku takut. Takut semua pemikiran burukku itu terjadi. Entah apa yang harus kulakukan kalau ternyata semua itu benar. Aku hanya seorang ibu rumah tangga biasa yang hanya mengandalkan suami.Sekian lama menunggu, akhirnya panggilan itu terhubung. Mas Damar mengangkatnya."Halo Dek, ada apa?" Suara dari seberang telepon terdengar berat dan tergesa."Mas, kenapa kamu gak angkat telponku? Apa di sana kamu sibuk?""Iya sayang, maaf ya. Aku gak sempat hubungi kamu. Lagi sibuk banget ini.""Mas, ayo sini keluarga udah pada kumpul!" teriak suara seorang perempuan di telepon itu, sepertinya ia tengah memanggil Mas Damar. Walau jauh, tapi suara itu masih kudengar jelas."Dek, udah dulu ya, Mas dah ditunggu. Nanti kuhubungi kalau dah gak sibuk.""Mas, memangnya di rumah ada acara apaan sih?"Ia tak menanggapi pertanyaanku dan justru langsung menutup panggilan teleponnya. Dalam hati, aku kembali bertanya-tanya. Tak biasanya Mas Damar bersikap acuh padaku seperti ini. Dia selalu perhatian padaku dan anak-anak. Tapi ..."Bun, Bunda, kok melamun sih!"Aku terkesiap kaget saat putra sulungku datang menghampiri. Lalu tersenyum manis saat ia melendot di tanganku."Bunda, ayah kok gak pulang-pulang? Kapan ayah pulang, Bun?""Besok juga ayah pulang, Nak.""Ayah gak nikah lagi kan, Bunda?""Nikah lagi maksudnya gimana, Nak? Kenapa tanya seperti itu?""Tadi aku ketemu ibunya Faiz, masa katanya ayah mau nikah lagi. Nikah lagi itu maksudnya apa ya, Bun? Apa aku mau punya mama baru?"Deg! Pertanyaan polos putraku seakan membuat detak jantung ini berhenti. Pasalnya ayahanda Faiz adalah teman sekantor Mas Damar. Mereka sahabat sejak SMA, seringnya pulang pergi ke kantor pun bersama. Bukan tak mungkin Mas Damar bercerita sesuatu dengan ayah Faiz dan dia menceritakan pada istrinya."Ibunya Faiz paling cuma bercanda saja, Sayang. Ayah gak mungkin nikah lagi. Kan udah ada Bunda, Kak Raffa dan dedek bayi. Ayah juga sangat sayang pada kita."Raffa mengangguk dan tersenyum. "Bunda, aku mau main lagi.""Gak boleh jauh-jauh ya, Sayang. Depan rumah aja ya.""Baik, Bun."Aku mengusap puncak kepalanya. Berlalu menghampiri bayi kecil mungil yang masih tertidur pulas.Sejak melihat story WA adik iparku itu, aku benar-benar cemas dan mengganggu pikiran. Aku takut, lelaki yang selama ini menjadi pengayom hidup itu berpaling.[Maaf, tadi siang aku sibuk, Sayang. Apa kamu sudah tidur?] Pesan dari Mas Damar, pukul 21.00 WIB.Aku menghela nafas dalam lalu melihat dua malaikat kecilku yang sudah tertidur. Saat ini aku memang tengah menghibur diri dengan menonton film agar pikiran buruk tentang Mas Damar menghilang.[Aku belum tidur, Mas. Tadi disana ada acara apa? Sampai kamu sibuk begitu?]Bukannya menjawab ponselku, dia malah menghubungiku via video call.Wajahnya tampak sumringah dibalik layar handphone saat aku menerima panggilannya. Tampak senyuman terukir di wajahnya."Kenapa wajahmu cemberut begitu, Wulan? Maaf ya tadi siang bukannya mau cuekin kamu, tapi aku benar-benar sibuk. Tadi habis bantuin tetangga lamaran."Aku masih diam, memperhatikan wajah yang tampan itu. Apakah ada kebohongan di sana?"Sayang jangan ngambek gitu ih, Dah kangen ya sama aku? Besok aku pulang, okey? Kamu mau dibawain apa?""Iya maaf, Mas. Mungkin aku yang terlalu lelah.""Istirahat sayang kalau lelah. Kamu mau minta oleh-oleh apa?""Tidak usah, Mas. Pulang saja sampai sini dengan selamat."Tetiba aku melihat bayangan seorang perempuan melintas di belakang Mas Damar. Perempuan dengan rambut tergerai sepunggung, memakai dress merah tanpa lengan. Wajahnya tak terlalu jelas karena aku melihatnya dari samping. Mas Damar sedang bersama siapa? Aku sangat yakin kalau itu bukan Farah, karena meskipun perempuan tapi dia sangatlah tomboy."Mas, siapa perempuan yang ada di belakangmu? Kamu sedang ada dimana, Mas?"3 YEARS LATER**AMBER **I heard little footsteps running up the stairs, I could hear her little giggles too. Few seconds later my door flew open."Hi daddy", she said.I smiled broadly, "Hi cupcake", I said dropping my laptop on my bed and went to hug her, lifting her high up in the air and spinning her around.She smiled broadly, laughing and giggling.She had bright green eyes and short blonde hair, just like her mother."Kaddy", I heard the sweetest voice call."She's up here", I said.Lexy got into the room and sighed."Gosh this girl can run", She said getting into the room and then crashing on the bed."How was shopping with mummy?", I asked my daughter.Yes, my daughter."I want a car", she said."Anything you want cupcake, what kind of car"."An SUV", she said.I turned to Lexy, she was already laughing on the bed."That was my reaction when she said it too"."Cupcake, you can't get an SUV you can't even drive it"."I want an SUV ", she cried."Okay okay cupcake, I'll get
My second outfit for the after-party was a white dress, very comfortable to wear. Sadly I couldn't party as hard as I wanted to because I was pregnant. The wedding was an epic royal setting wedding. It was in a big castle, everyone was dressed like royalties. Everything was just perfect. I finally had a lone time with Amber. It was time for the couples slow dance.First we just stayed in each other's arms for minutes, not saying anything, just enjoying the rhythm and everything."How do you feel princess?",he asked."I want to punch you hard in the guts for playing with my feelings this morning", he started laughing."I'm so sorry princess, but we didn't want you to get the slightest idea of what was going on, and if was the only way to make you want to not stay around", he said."I was so worried, I started thinking I was cursed "."You're my curse, and you're also the way out of it too" he said and then kissed my forehead."I can't believe today actually happened "."How was it? y
"What ... what's going on?". "So here's the thing, we had a little issue with the wedding prep because Amber said he wanted it to be a Royal setting kind of wedding, because you're a queen and you deserved it. So we had to do some last minute changes and we wanted it to be a surprise so obviously we you know, put you in a little adventure in it to keep you busy while we rearrange everything". "But ... but there was this letter and... and they said they had you and ... and James said he was leaving and... and Sam said she was busy with work, I was so scared everything was crashing", I said almost in tears . "Hey hey hey princess don't cry don't cry", Amber said leaving the alter and came to hug me. "I was so scared, I think I lost you ", I cried. "I'm sorry baby... I think we took it a little too far, you'll never loose me, I'm here now, for good ", he said rubbing my cheeks. "And why would I miss your wedding for the world?", James asked. Exactly, girl even if the Queen of Engl
"I don't get it, I don't get it at all. How can Amber get kidnapped? how?? Amber of all people? is this some sick joke? How can Amber Matthews get kidnapped??". "Lexy please calm down ". "I can't calm down, today is my fucken wedding! I'm 7 fucken months pregnant and you're telling me to calm down?? please we have to contact the others immediately ", I yelled. Immediately I grabbed my phone, an unknown number called. I picked it up immediately thinking it would be Amber. "Amber what is going on? where are you?". "Amber has 6 hours to live, you have exactly 6 hours to find him else you'll meet his decayed corpse. And don't try to contact the police or any other person ,if you do trust me, you will find his body, see you soon Lexy ", the call went dead immediately. This was stupid... very stupid. It had to be some sick prank. Because this wasn't making any sense. Who would want to do this? and why?. "Lexy what was it? what was that all about?" "They've kidnapped Amber and I ha
LEXY **I woke up and rolled to the other side of the bed but it was empty.Amber... But like we're supposed to have a wedding today, where is he?I grabbed my phone and called Sam."Hey"."Hey bitch"."Aren't you coming around? to get my. make up ready and stuff"."Oh uhm... I got an emergency from one of my clients and... damn it you know I wouldn't miss your wedding for the world, I'm just running a bit late, I'll still make it up right on time, I'll send someone down there to help you out ok?".That's disappointing.I sighed."I'm so sorry Lexy, I would have cancelled if I could but unfortunately I can't, I'm so sorry", she said again."It's okay", i said and cut the call.Great.Wonderful way to do a wedding.I called Amber and he wasn't picking up.I called James."Yo, where are you?",I asked."Lexy uhm... my school just called, I have this fucken emergency test That I have to take first thing tomorrow morning, I don't even know if I'll make it before then but I can meet up fo
LEXY *I love this Amber, I love him so much and I wish life would last forever.He's been treating me like I'm the baby. He doesn't let me do anything, like nothing at all.He gives me a warm bath every morning, helps me brush my teeth, gets me clothed in very comfortable clothes, he cooks now since Mrs Williams have been absent for a while now, I think she's staying with her niece that recently gave birth or something.And he ensures we do gentle exercises and we work out often.He turned the basement into a gym. And yes he's becoming pretty muscular now and good in the eyes.My Art Gallery is finally officially open. It was one of the best and happiest days of my life, and none of it would have happened without Nicole Anderson and of course Amber.But since I was pregnant, Mrs Anderson was the one managing everything till I'm fully ready to work. She's literally my art idol, imagine your role model working for you, perks of being Amber's Wife.."So ... I was thinking", he said.
AMBER I've been so anxious to see Lexy. When she called that she had a surprise, my mind went to a million places .I wanted to pick her up at the airport but James already said he was going to.It was so good seeing everyone again, they looked so happy as cheerful, honestly the distance was just what we needed.When I saw Lexy, she looked so different. She had added a little weight and she had this long big gown on her, but regardless she looked so beautiful and happy, the fact that she was happy was everything for me.Seeing her smile so genuinely, it was so pleasant.But then ... she didn't hug me back the way I expected her to... two seconds later she already pulled away.It made me feel weird for the moment.Then she wanted us to talk about our personal growth. To be very honest, I've grown a lot. There's so much personal development that I never knew I could have reached to this point.And then she dropped the bomb shell."You're pregnant?"."Oh my God"."I'm going to be an Au
I called all the boys to suspend whatever shit they were doing and get back to Italy.I was 6 months pregnant now, and I was done with Therapy and every other thing.Besides my Gallery opening was in a week time but I wanted to inform the boys about it first.None of them know about it, even Sam, like I've been so good keeping this a secret from them.Apparently, Amber's seeds swim pretty fast, it was that time he came over to see me and we fucked, I definitely didn't see it coming. I've been so anxious, only Mrs Anderson knew about it. I've been so anxious about breaking the news to them.I was having a little baby bump now, but it wasn't even obviously because I naturally have a flat tummy.At least my vegetarian lifestyle and fitness paid off.But I still didn't want them to notice a thing, so I wore this very long bubba gown.James said he was going to come pick me up and I haven't been any happier to see him.When I arrived at the airport, he ran to hug me.But I had to be caref
I travelled back to Miami and I told my therapist all about it, and in all honesty, she was disappointed initially, but then she said she was also very proud of me for fighting it and the sudden realization that revenge won't solve anything. She said she was also proud of me for trying to help Laura. She said I was making progress.Rodrigo's body was found in his house and apparently, no one was even trying to investigate his demise because they saw it coming, he'd lived a shitty life.I spoke to Amber when I got home, he said he could have sworn that he saw someone who looked exactly like me in Italy.I teased him that he missed me so much he's now seeing me everywhere, but the possibility of that being me is Very very high.I'm ok now, I'm better now. But I'm honestly so worried about Laura. I don't want to get involved in her life because from the looks of it, it's really shitty. But I worry for her everyday.Mrs Anderson was getting a tattoo of a butterfly on her back and so she
