18th Birthday 18 Debut Program

Suasana hatiku sangat buruk akhir-akhir ini. Temanku menyarankan agar aku menemui dokter pengobatan tradisional. Namun, aku sama sekali tidak berani melakukannya, karena aku memiliki kecanduan dalam urusan seks. Aku mendengar bahwa dokter pengobatan tradisional bisa mengetahui hal semacam ini …. Hanya saja, kesehatanku makin memburuk, jadi aku harus pergi ke sana sendiri. Cara dokter pengobatan tradisional itu memandangku benar-benar berubah. "Kamu sudah sangat ingin disetubuhi, 'kan?" Dokter pengobatan tradisional itu membaringkanku di atas meja periksa. Dengan satu tangan, dia merobek celana dalamku yang basah ….

Gagal ginjal stadium akhir. Ginjal yang paling cocok untukku… justru diberikan suamiku kepada adikku. Aku menolak saran dokter untuk terus menunggu donor baru dan memilih keluar dari rumah sakit lebih awal. Hati yang telah lama membeku, tak lagi punya alasan untuk bertahan. Seluruh harta yang kukumpulkan selama bertahun-tahun, kuserahkan kepada adik. Akhirnya, senyum orang tuaku pun kudapatkan. Suamiku merawat adikku siang dan malam tanpa istirahat. Aku tak marah, malah mengingatkannya untuk lebih hati-hati dan teliti. Bahkan ketika anakku ingin memanggil adikku sebagai “ibu”, aku pun tersenyum dan menyetujui. Semuanya sudah berjalan sesuai keinginan mereka. Lalu… mengapa sekarang mereka menyesal?

Tangan pria itu menyusup ke dalam pakaianku, menyusuri punggungku yang halus dan dingin, bergerak perlahan seolah menelusuri setiap inci kulitku. Aku terdiam di pelukannya, tak berani bergerak sedikit pun. Di telingaku, suaranya yang dalam dan menggoda berbisik, "Katakan, apa kamu menginginkanku?" Saat itu, di kamar sebelah, sang majikan dan kekasihnya sedang berlatih "yoga berpasangan". Getar hasrat dalam diriku pun perlahan mulai tergugah! Aku rasa aku sudah kehilangan akal. Jangan-jangan aku juga ingin melakukan hal yang sama seperti mereka yang ada di kamar sebelah?

‎In my first life, I was a pathetic fool. My stepsister and the man I secretly loved both conspired and took everything from me.

The last thing I heard before my world went black was the voice of a powerful stranger. The Lycan Prince. ‎ ‎But when I opened my eyes, I was back in my own bed on the eve of my 18th birthday, given a second chance I never thought was possible. ‎ ‎This time, there will be no tears, only revenge. I will take back my name, my powers, and my future. I will make them pay for everything they did. One by one. ‎ ‎My old life is over, and my revenge has just begun. ‎
