로그인How does it feel to leave your past behind, and struggle to stand at the top only for it to catch up with you again?

She was determined to make him hers at all costs, without the knowledge of anyone around her. Unfortunately, Carlton's announcement of his marriage to another lady shattered her heart mercilessly. One thing led to another, and she was the one standing on the altar to say the vows as his wife without the knowledge of her family. It was to save him, and to save her desire too.

Picking her life from scratch after a stormy divorce, a miserable lady who became a Certified Physiotherapist is finally healing from disownment from everyone.

My job is to fix broken bones, not hearts," Stacy replied to him curtly.
더 보기Tas jinjing berbahan kanvas itu sudah pudar warnanya, tergeletak canggung di atas lantai marmer yang mengkilap. Bara berdiri kaku di sana, kedua tangannya saling meremas di depan perut. Dia takut bergerak, takut debu dari sepatu bututnya mengotori kemewahan yang menyilaukan mata itu.
Di hadapannya, duduk seorang pria paruh baya dengan setelan jas rapi yang sedang membaca koran. Handoko, ayahnya. Pria yang dulu meninggalkan Bara dan ibunya di kampung demi mengejar ambisi di kota. "Jadi ... ibumu sudah meninggal?" tanya Handoko tanpa menurunkan korannya. Nada bicaranya datar, seolah sedang menanyakan kabar cuaca. Bara menelan ludah, tenggorokannya tercekat. "Iya, Pak. Bulan lalu," jawabnya pelan dengan logat daerah yang masih kental. Dia ingat bagaimana ibunya meregang nyawa di atas dipan kayu yang reot, sementara ayahnya hidup di istana ini. Rasa panas menjalar di dadanya, tapi Bara buru-buru menunduk. 'Sabar, Bar. Kamu butuh tempat tinggal buat kuliah,: batinnya. Handoko akhirnya melipat korannya, menatap Bara dari ujung kaki ke ujung kepala dengan tatapan menilai yang merendahkan. "Dengar baik-baik," kata Handoko dingin. "Saya izinkan kamu tinggal di sini karena saya tidak mau orang-orang bilang saya menelantarkan darah daging sendiri. Tapi ingat posisimu. Jangan bikin malu. Jangan bertingkah kampungan. Dan jangan ganggu istri dan anak saya." "Baik, Pak," Bara mengangguk patuh. Dia memang tidak berniat mengganggu. Dia hanya ingin bertahan hidup. Saat itulah, suara hak sepatu beradu dengan lantai terdengar dari arah tangga. "Mas, ini anak itu?" Bara mendongak. Napasnya tertahan. Seorang wanita turun dari tangga dengan anggun. Kulitnya putih bersih, rambutnya tertata rapi, dan wangi parfumnya langsung memenuhi ruangan saat dia mendekat. Itu Marissa, ibu tirinya. Dia jauh lebih muda dari dugaan Bara, dan jauh lebih cantik dari wanita mana pun yang pernah Bara lihat di kampung. Di belakang Marissa, muncul seorang gadis remaja yang sibuk dengan ponselnya. Keyla. Dia hanya melirik Bara sekilas dengan tatapan jijik, lalu mendengus. "Ih, Ma. Bau matahari banget orangnya." Bara makin menunduk, merasa kecil. Namun, Marissa justru tersenyum lembut. Dia mendekati Bara, lalu dengan tangan halusnya, dia menepuk bahu Bara yang lebar dan keras karena sering mencangkul di sawah. "Sudah, Keyla. Jangan begitu," tegur Marissa lembut. Dia menatap mata Bara. "Selamat datang ya, Bara. Anggap saja rumah sendiri. Kalau butuh apa-apa, bilang sama Tante." Sentuhan itu membuat Bara gemetar. Di kampung, tidak ada wanita "berkelas" yang mau menyentuhnya. Kelembutan Marissa terasa sangat kontras dengan kekejaman ayahnya dan kesombongan Keyla. "Te-terima kasih, Bu ... eh, Tante," gagap Bara. Handoko berdiri, memutus momen itu. "Sudah, antar dia ke kamar belakang. Saya mau berangkat kerja. Bara, ingat pesan saya. Tahu diri." Ayahnya berlalu begitu saja tanpa menoleh lagi. Bara mengepalkan tangannya di samping tubuh. Dia melihat punggung ayahnya yang menjauh, lalu beralih menatap kemewahan di sekelilingnya. 'Bapak boleh sombong sekarang,' batin Bara perih. 'Aku akan jadi patung di rumah ini. Aku akan diam, aku akan menurut, sampai aku bisa berdiri sendiri dan pergi dari sini.' Marissa berjalan lebih dulu menyusuri lorong dan Bara mengekor di belakangnya dengan canggung. Gaun sutra tipis yang dipakai Marissa menempel ketat di tubuhnya yang montok. Kain itu mencetak jelas lekuk pinggang dan pinggul besarnya yang bergoyang ke kanan dan ke kiri setiap kali dia melangkah. Bara menelan ludah dan mencoba melihat ke lantai, tapi matanya nakal dan kembali melirik betis putih mulus yang mengintip dari belahan gaun itu. Marissa membuka pintu sebuah kamar kecil di bagian belakang. "Maaf ya Bar, kamarnya agak berdebu karena jarang dipakai," kata Marissa lembut sambil masuk ke dalam. Bara hanya mengangguk dan berdiri kaku di dekat pintu. Dia melihat Marissa berjalan ke arah ranjang lalu membungkuk sedikit untuk merapikan sprei yang kusut. Gerakan itu membuat kerah bajunya yang rendah melonggar lebar. Mata Bara langsung terbelalak. Dari tempatnya berdiri, dia bisa melihat jelas belahan dada ibu tirinya itu. Payudaranya yang besar dan putih mulus terlihat begitu penuh, seolah mendesak ingin tumpah dari balik kain tipis itu. Kulit di area itu terlihat sangat halus dan kencang, beda sekali dengan kulit perempuan di kampungnya. Aduh, sadar Bar! Itu istri bapak, batin Bara berperang. Dia buru-buru memalingkan wajah ke tembok. Jantungnya berdegup kencang dan napasnya jadi agak berat. Dia merasa berdosa tapi penasaran setengah mati. "Bar? Kok malah melamun? Kamu kepanasan ya?" tanya Marissa yang tiba-tiba sudah berdiri di depannya. Bara kaget bukan main. Jarak mereka sekarang begitu dekat. Wangi parfum manis dari tubuh Marissa langsung memenuhi hidung Bara. "Eh, ti-tidak apa-apa, Tante. Cuma agak gerah sedikit," jawab Bara gugup sambil menyeka keringat di dahinya. Marissa tersenyum maklum. Tangan halusnya terulur lalu menyentuh pipi Bara. Telapak tangan itu terasa dingin dan lembut, sangat nyaman di kulit Bara yang kasar karena matahari. "Panggil Tante saja biar akrab. Kasihan kamu, pasti capek sekali ya perjalanan jauh naik bus," ucap Marissa dengan nada sayang. Sentuhan di pipi itu membuat lutut Bara lemas. Marissa lalu menurunkan tangannya dan ganti memegang kedua bahu Bara. Dia meremas pelan otot bahu Bara yang keras. "Bapakmu memang galak, tapi jangan diambil hati ya. Ada Tante di sini. Tante akan pastikan kamu betah tinggal di sini," kata Marissa sambil menatap mata Bara dalam-dalam. Posisi tangan Marissa di bahunya membuat tubuh bagian atas wanita itu makin condong ke arah Bara. Bara bisa melihat dada Marissa yang besar itu naik turun saat bernapas. Kulit putih di leher jenjangnya terlihat sangat menggoda. Pikiran Bara jadi kacau, antara haru karena dibela dan pusing melihat kemolekan tubuh di depannya. "Makasih banyak, Tante. Tante baik banget sama saya," kata Bara pelan. Dia menunduk sedikit untuk menyembunyikan wajahnya yang memerah, tapi matanya malah tak sengaja jatuh lagi ke arah dada itu. Cepat-cepat dia pejamkan mata sejenak untuk mengusir pikiran kotornya. Marissa melepaskan pegangannya lalu menepuk lengan Bara pelan. "Ya sudah, kamu mandi dulu sana. Nanti Tante siapkan handuk bersih. Habis itu kita makan siang bareng, Tante sudah masak enak," ujarnya riang. Marissa pun berbalik dan berjalan keluar kamar. Bara memandangi punggung dan pinggul sintal itu yang bergerak menjauh sampai sosoknya menghilang di balik pintu. Bara menghembuskan napas panjang seolah baru saja menahan napas lama sekali. Dia membanting tubuhnya ke kasur busa yang empuk. Bayangan kulit putih dan dada mulus Tante Marissa masih menari-nari di kepalanya. "Sabar Bar, sabar," gumamnya lirih sambil memegangi dadanya yang masih deg-degan.Hi, dearest readers.

It was a beautiful morning at a big, luxurious wedding hall, where every detail had been meticulously crafted to exude a sense of elegance and sophistication, and Carlton and Stacy stood at the altar holding their hands and gazing into each other’s eyes with a synchronizing smile curving their lips, as they prepared to take their wedding vows. Stacy donned a voluminous luxurious lacy white gown of exquisite and intricate adorning diamond that shimmered with fierce intensity of beauty, as she looked so radiant like a celestial being before the altar. Her veil softly framed her beautiful face like a halo, as she held a bouquet, her eyes illuminating so much affection for the man that was standing beside her. Carlton was daunting and dashingly ethereal in his custom-made black suit, his tousled, dark hair framing his breathtaking beauty and piercing beautiful eyes, which were a mesmerizing shade of deep blue that gazed into Stacy's eyes, with sheer happiness radiating within him. G
It was still the early hours of the morning, and the atmosphere was still quite dampened with barely any sign of sunlight, when Carlton entered the room to find Stacy still sleeping. He shook her shoulder tenderly and teased around her face, as she stirred for a few seconds without waking up. Then again, Carlton whispered something into her right ear as she remained in her deep slumber, which aroused a ticklish feeling in her as her hand tried to rub her ear. “Wake up,” Carlton whispered with a smile, and she finally turned in response to his barely audible voice, her eyes flickering awake, even if she was still slightly groggy. “What is going on, Carl?” she mumbled tiredly as a yawn escaped her lips, but a smile curved his lips instead as his hands grabbed her body and pulled her up from the bed, “What time is it?”“Shhhh. You will wake the kids up,” he cautioned, seeing that she was chuckling quite loudly, as she planted a kiss on her cheek and neck, “Put on something and follo
Months flew by faster than expected, and Stacy had been living her best life with Carlton after Nadia moved to Phoenix with Liam. They kept in close contact through video calls and phone calls, telling one another about the new things they were now invested in and how the new city moved in. Nadia launched her new book after she moved to Phoenix, and better than she thought it would be, it was doing excellently well through the influence of her lovely lover, and social media, which gained her thousands of followers in less than six months. And with the brilliant response and love she received for her medical romance book, she started a sequel. She and Liam moved to the penthouse of a hundred-floor skyscraper in one of the wealthy neighborhoods in the city, which had the best view that she could ever wish for as a home. More than anything, Nadia's life had changed beautifully, more than she could have ever imagined, because of the people she got to meet in her life. Within those few
Nadia sat at a regular bar and ordered a glass of margarita, while trying to distract herself from the disturbing thoughts which continued to plague her mind. She decided to leave home and have fun by herself, since Stacy was not coming home that night, and because it was something she rarely did fo
‘I thought you said that we would be eating alone. I wouldn't have come if I knew it was going to be like this!’ Liam texted his mother sharply, his hands trembling as he burned with repressed fury, upon seeing the most unexpected crowd at their supposed family dinner. After the last fight, Liam had
Stacy drove straight to Carlton's neighborhood after dropping Nadia off at the hospital in the afternoon, and she knew that something had been wrong with her for the past few days. Thinking it was still an issue with Liam, she didn't bother to push forward into getting her to talk too much about wha
Nadia urged the driver of the cab she had flagged down the road to drive faster, her eyes constantly darting at the wristwatch that was clasped around her wrist. It was already several minutes past the time she agreed to meet Carlton, because she had lost track of time as she also met Liam's mother
