12 Hours Artinya

Menjelang upacara pernikahan bisnis kami, Oliver, tunanganku, berdiri di atas dek kapal kargo di dermaga baru dan mengumumkan bahwa cinta pertamanya, yaitu Evelyn yang merupakan adik tiriku, yang menderita penyakit jantung, adalah istri sahnya yang sesungguhnya.

Yang lain, hanyalah gundik belaka." Diiringi restu dari para tetua klan, mereka saling bertukar kalung permata hitam, mengucap sumpah dan mengikat janji setia. Aku menyaksikannya tanpa suara, lalu membuat janji untuk melakukan operasi aborsi. Dari usia 16 tahun hingga 28 tahun, aku mencintai Oliver dengan sepenuh hati selama 12 tahun.

Aku berangkat menuju markas rahasia di Negara Aresha Selatan dan hanya meninggalkan sepucuk surat pembatalan pertunangan, serta hadiah perpisahan untuk Oliver. Akan tetapi, Oliver yang selama ini selalu acuh tak acuh kepadaku, justru menjadi hancur hingga tidak lagi memedulikan urusan klan ….

Giordano Pellegrini, my Underboss husband, is swamped with work every day. In order to make sure that he can attend my birthday party, I've pre-booked two hours of his time half a year in advance. But the moment Giordano arrives at the party venue, he receives a message on his communicator. "Honey, someone has blocked a shipment of firearms. I need to deal with that matter right now. Next time, I'll celebrate your birthday properly with you." Our son, Fabiano Pellegrini, follows Giordano out of the venue as well. "Dad and I will deal with this matter. We'll also make it up to you with another birthday gift next time." Despite feeling a little disappointed, the emergency did come all of a sudden, so I can only nod in acceptance. But once Giordano and Fabiano leave, I secretly stalk them. I'd like to see which idiot dares to block the ship owned by me, the Donna of this mafia family. Also, I'm interested to see what sort of solution Giordano and Fabiano can come up with. After all, Giordano is only an Underboss in name.

My husband Bill and his beautiful assistant Doris are laughing and eating like they're on a first date. But the joke is on me... I'm here, Bill's wife, watching them from across the room, tending to my flat belly where a little life is now living. Of course, Bill doesn’t know about the baby yet. The news is still fresh in my mind, barely a few hours old. It is supposed to be a family dinner gathering, but I'm never the welcome one but an outsider. Watching Bill take the steak cut and handed over by Doris, his young age best friend who knows him the best, I guess I'm spoiling their fun by telling them now that I'm having a baby. Three years of marriage, and his frequent absences from the family left me feeling overwhelmed and alone. I've even forgotten the reason we got married. Maybe it was a mistake to begin with. Finally, I made a decision. Divorce. But a man came along and shifted things dramatically. And it didn't occur to me that this man was still deeply connected to bill's family. He was Bill's uncle.

He worshiped her like a goddess. She let another man make her moan. Duncan Moretti had everything—power, wealth, control. Women wanted him, men feared him. But when Aphrodite walked into his world, she didn’t want his money… she wanted his soul. And he gave it to her. Every kiss, every whispered promise, every desperate moan—he thought they meant something. He planned the perfect proposal, ready to give her forever. Until she didn’t show up. Until she arrived hours late—smiling like she hadn’t just crushed him. Until a man walked in uninvited, laughing, calling her home. And when Duncan followed her, broken and burning, he saw it all with his own eyes—Aphrodite naked under another man, moaning his name like she once moaned his. Now Duncan isn’t the man who fell to his knees. He’s the man who’s rising—with revenge in his blood and nothing left to lose. She wanted to be worshiped? He’ll make sure she remembers exactly how it feels.
