View More"Kak Adinda masih punya waktu untuk kabur dari pernikahan ini."
Ucapan sang adik angkat membuat Adinda yang kini sudah dalam balutan kebaya putih--terkejut.
Berbeda dari ibu angkatnya yang terang-terangan memaksa pernikahan ini, ayah dan adik angkatnya memang menentang keras.
Sayangnya, wanita paruh baya itu lebih berkuasa dibandingkan mereka.
Sang ibu angkat bahkan kerap kali mengancam ayah mereka yang sedang dalam keadaan lumpuh.
Jadi, di sinilah Adinda memilih pasrah akan takdirnya: menjadi istri dari ayah sahabatnya sendiri--seperti novel-novel yang dibaca oleh Zira.
"Kamu bicara apa, dek?" balas Adinda sembari tersenyum tenang.
"Kakak pergi saja. Biar aku yang gantiin Kakak jadi pengantin Tuan Dimas."
Adinda menggeleng cepat. Dia tak mungkin membiarkan Zira mengorbankan dirinya.
Gadis itu jauh lebih muda darinya dan masih memiliki kesempatan meraih cita-cita.
Terlebih, ibu angkatnya pasti akan mengamuk. Adinda bahkan masih teringat bentakannya pada hari itu, "Ingat, Adinda! Kau adalah anak yang diambil dari tempat sampah dan dipungut oleh suamiku. Dia bahkan sampai harus menggunakan kursi roda karena mencari uang kuliahmu.”
"Kakak, cuman mau kamu terus menyayangi Kakak seperti ini. Itu sudah cukup," ucap Adinda pada akhirnya.
Ditangkupnya wajah sang adik yang kini tampak menahan tangis.
Brak!
Sayangnya ... adegan hangat antara sepasang kakak beradik itu terhenti kala pintu kamar tiba-tiba terbuka.
Kinara, sang ibu angkat, tampak di sana dengan wajah mengerut kesal. "Zira? Kenapa kamu di sini?” ucapnya langsung.“Ibu, aku–”“Tolong kau pergi, Nak!" potong Kinara cepat. Ia khawatir putrinya itu menghasut Adinda untuk melarikan diri.Zira hendak melawan sang ibu. Namun, Adinda langsung memberikan kode padanya agar tak melawan.Sembari mengepalkan tangan, Zira pun terpaksa pergi.Tak lama, pintu pun kembali tertutup.Adinda sontak menunduk, tak berani menatap wajah sang ibu angkat.“Dinda, kau tahu konsekuensi jika pernikahan ini batal, ‘kan?” ucap Kinara cepat, “jadi, jangan macam-macam. Sekarang, pasang senyumanmu karena pernikahan akan segera dilangsungkan.”Tanpa menunggu jawaban, wanita itu pun menarik lengan Adinda dengan kasar.Kemudian, Kinara membawanya pada calon pengantin pria yang sudah menunggu di tempat yang sudah disediakan.Sembari menunduk, Adinda menahan air mata agar tak jatuh dari matanya.Dia tak berani menatap Tuan Dimas yang mulai mengucapkan sumpah pernikahan.Tepuk tangan hadirin lah yang menyadarkan Adinda bahwa dirinya telah resmi menjadi istri dari seorang Dimas Hermawan—pria berusia 37 tahun dan ayah dari sahabatnya sendiri!****"Kau gila, Dinda! Aku tak menyangka kau malah setuju menikah dengan pria yang usianya jauh di atasmu! Kau tahu ‘kan kalau dia itu Papiku! Aku juga selalu mengatakan bahwa aku ingin papi dan mamiku rujuk?"Deg!Adinda yang baru sampai di kediaman keluarga ‘suaminya’ itu langsung disambut perlakuan kasar dari Moza Hermawan, sang sahabat.Tidak ada lagi perlakuan manis darinya. Yang ada hanyalah tatapan sinis.
Tampak jelas perasaan benci itu kini sudah membara dalam diri perempuan berusia 20 tahun itu.“Moza, aku–”"Ck! Aku tak menyangka kau perempuan gampangan, Dinda. Aku benar-benar menyesal pernah mengenalmu!" sergah Moza cepat.Adinda sontak menahan tangis.Bagaimana dia bisa menjelaskan pada Moza bahwa dirinya tak memiliki kuasa untuk menolak jika sahabatnya itu tak mau mendengarnya?"Kau pikir, setelah menikah dengan Papiku, kau bisa hidup enak? Begitu? Jangan mimpi!" makinya lagi.Bugh!Moza langsung mendorong tubuh Adinda, hingga terbentur sudut meja.
"Arrgh," erang Adinda menahan sakit. Dahi perempuan itu bahkan membiru.
Bukannya kasihan, Moza malah tertawa terbahak-bahak melihat penderitaan Adinda. "Rasakan itu! Dasar kamu--"
"Ada apa ini?"
Suara dalam yang mendadak terdengar itu membuat Moza membeku, sedangkan Adinda menoleh dan terkejut.
"Tu-Tuan Dimas?"
Ellie's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets at the sight of Lorraine's sudden change. She could sense the power running through her niece. The aura Lorraine exuded was more than just an urge, it was pure anger.Ellie crawled backwards, too surprised to act or do anything. She knew what she was supposed to do but she couldn't, she couldn't bring herself to hurt Lorraine. She was to protect her and not hurt her."Lorraine," Ellie called. Seeing her niece like this had not only surprised her, it broke her too. It was her fault that Lorraine had to go through this. If only she had done what she had to do at the right time then the urge would not have gotten so strong. "Lorraine, fight it. You can do it. Remember your destiny, think about your mother."Lorraine could still hear Ellie's voice in her head but it was getting dimmer with every passing second. Suddenly, Lorraine screamed, her voice echoed with excruciating pain. Someone was doing it. The same thing Ellie could bring hersel
After almost an hour of working on the passport David had given him, Kyle had found out that Mary, as I suspected, had been in and out of Lightwood several times over the last few weeks. According to him, she was in the city at this very moment."When last was she in Lightwood?" David raised a question and Kyle gave him a fiendish glare. He had just said she was still in Lightwood so what does it matter when she entered the town."What is she doing in Lightwood?" David asked another question, with surprise spreading all over his face. If anything, he has had one of the roughest stories so far amongst all of us."We'll have to find out. That's why we need to find her before she leaves the city," I answered, calculating the possibilities of finding her. It was not going to be easy, where would we begin to look? I asked myself. Just as it was impossible to look for a needle in a sea, it was same when the case is turned to her David pursed his lips tightly and smirked. " I don't think sh
Lorraine's POV"Hurry, we need to go before he finds you," Ellie said and began to hasten her steps. She was faster than I expected her to be. Perhaps it was because she was frequent with the road."Before he finds me?" I gaped, unable to hide my surprise. "Is he going to find me?" I halted and my eyes blazed with fear.This was the point where I was supposed to be confused and scared at the same time. And Yes, I was confused and scared.Turning her head backwards, Ellie saw that I wasn't following her anymore. "You need to hurry up, Lorraine, I'm sure he's coming for you right now," she uttered and stopped. I thought I had seen it all and there was possibly nothing more that would shock me again but hearing that he would be able to find me was something I had not expected.My head began to heat up with questions. Complying with her, I continued walking, and even hastened my steps and began to run. "Why is he able to talk to me despite our distance?" I asked but she didn't reply. W
Lorraine's POVJames had blood stains on him. I instantly knew whose blood it was, it was Kayla's.So all this while she had been the mastermind behind everything that was happening. I regretted not reading her mind when I had the chance.Unlike I expected, there was no sign of remorse in James's voice as he spoke. It was as if he had just disassembled a nuclear bomb that would have killed the whole world.After James has rushed out in between our discussion, I wanted to follow him but my mind suggested I gave him some space. It would appear like I was pegging him too much if I don't let him do some things alone.So I forced myself not to follow him and I crawled back onto the bed and waited anxiously for him to return and tell me what it was all about.I was waiting when I slept off."No!" I yelled as I jerked from the nightmare I was having. I was gasping for breath. I looked around the room, the walls were familiar. I was sweating like a rat dropped into a bucket of water.It was o
Lorraine's POV. My mouth opened slightly as a silent wow escaped my lips the moment we entered the Queen's private room.Her private room was impeccably furnished. The floor-to-ceiling windows allow for a beautiful, therapeutic view of the whole kingdom. From here, nothing could escape the eyes of

Lorraine's POV "You must enjoy sitting alone," Ava blurted when she approached the reception section where I'd been all day. The sarcasm in her voice was not something I'll have to think through for long before I understand it."Hello, David," she waved at David and he turned to face her, and respond
Today was the first day Samuel decided to visit the mayor after a very long time. He had gone to the mayor's house but there was nobody around, it was empty.
