99 Days

Eu e meu marido, Bernardo Santos, estamos casados há oito anos. Durante esse tempo, ele trouxe 99 mulheres pra casa. Agora, estou olhando pra centésima garota. Ela me encara com provocação e, virando-se pra ele, pergunta: — Sr. Bernardo, é essa aqui sua esposa inútil? Bernardo, jogado na cadeira, responde com preguiça: — É ela, sim. A garota caminha até mim, dá um tapinha no meu rosto e diz com um sorriso: — Hoje à noite, você vai ouvir o que é uma mulher de verdade na cama! Naquela noite, fui obrigada a passar horas na sala ouvindo gemidos. Na manhã seguinte, Bernardo, como sempre, mandou que eu fizesse o café da manhã. Mas dessa vez, eu recusei. Ele parece ter esquecido que nosso casamento é só um acordo. E hoje faltam três dias pra esse acordo acabar.

My mother was dying. Her only wish before she passed was to see me married. For 27 days, I begged my girlfriend, Monica Teller, and she finally agreed to register for marriage with me on the 27th day. I waited at the courthouse until closing, but she never came. That same day, her childhood sweetheart, Gurney Barnes, posted their marriage certificate on social media. [Time sure flies. Three more days, and we'll have been married for a month.] It was then I finally realized that she had married her childhood sweetheart since the first day I started begging her. Not long after, an apology text from Monica buzzed on my phone. [I'm so sorry, Lincoln. Gurney's family was forcing him into marriage. I couldn't stand by and watch him get shackled to a stranger. Just give it three days. We'll file for divorce. Three days later, I'll marry you." Three days later, she showed up at the courthouse in a wedding gown, But the only thing waiting for her was my message. [Goodbye, Monica. May we never meet again.]

Cold and proud to all, Beamon Slade, Northarch's strongest Alpha, reserves his gentleness solely for me. Everyone knows that I'm his Luna. But today, his first love is infected with deadly wolfsbane and on the brink of death. He hands me a herbal pill that can seal memories and temporarily remove the mate mark. "Eiro won't last another three days, Swan. "Could you give me three days to fulfill her dream of becoming a Luna through a symbolic marking ceremony? I won't hurt you. This pill temporarily severs the bond and makes you forget me. "When the ceremony ends three days later, take the antidote and you'll remember everything. We'll get back together." Looking at his calm, gentle expression, I silently swallow the pill without hesitation. He has no idea, but I crafted the pill with my own hands. There's no such thing as an antidote. Three days from now, I'll completely forget him. All our embraces, vows, marks, and his past gentleness will vanish with the wind.

I've been mated to Alpha Damon for five years. I helped him build a business empire, but he kept delaying our marking ceremony 99 times. Right before the ceremony was supposed to happen, he told me the pack’s resources were tight. He demanded I stop the expansion of the Alpha’s manor and scrapped the nursery I’d designed for our future pups. Then he turned around and bought a thirty-million-dollar penthouse for Isabella, a new omega in our pack. When Isabella and I were in a car crash at the same time, he didn't even glance my way. He ran straight to her. He wrapped her in his Alpha scent, holding her tight. Their scents mingling was like a knife to my heart. In the pack council hall, in front of all the Elders, I looked at him with ice in my eyes. "I, Elena, reject you, Damon, as my mate." Through the gut-wrenching pain of the mate bond snapping, I sent a message to the Alpha of another pack. "I rejected him. I'll be at your Crescent Moon Pack tomorrow."

Emran yang sedang perang dingin denganku mengunggah sebuah postingan di media sosial. [ Seratus orang pertama yang like dapat uang karena aku baru putus! ] Dalam sekejap, sudah ada 99 repost dan like. Aku tahu dia sedang menungguku mengalah, seperti sepuluh kali sebelumnya, memohon padanya untuk menghapus postingan itu. Namun kali ini, aku langsung repost dan memberi komentar. [ Aku juga mau! ] Kemudian, aku memblokir semua kontaknya. Tiga hari kemudian, adiknya mengirim pesan. [ Tiket untuk pertunjukan kelulusan Kak Emran sudah disisakan buat kamu. Katanya asal kamu datang, dia mau memaafkanmu. ] Aku melirik tiket pesawat di atas meja, lalu membalas. [ Nggak sempat. ] Aku memang benar-benar tidak sempat, karena aku lulus seleksi dan diterima sebagai mahasiswa pascasarjana di Universitas Bajira. Malam itu juga, aku akan terbang untuk mendaftar ulang. Sejak saat itu, aku dan dia terpisah ribuan kilometer, tak pernah bertemu lagi.

The rules of the fallen are simple . Ten days. Ten days, you live without sin and you will be accepted back into heaven. It's just ten days, it shouldn't be that hard. Until the rules became applicable to fragile, innocent Azaliah who after an ambush, was thrown out of heaven by mistake and began her transition into a human. With her newly found emotions all over the place, the human family she lived with, a low ranked angel who swore to protect her, a mark on her shoulder that is a beacon for the darkness that ruled the earth and her romantic feelings for the mysterious demon who helped her stay alive in exchange for his freedom, ten days suddenly felt like ten years. And with that came an epic battle for her soul as two ancient spirits came after her when the celestial world finds out that she is the weapon that can kill man and spirit's greatest enemy, Lucifer.

Ten days before the wedding, my fiancée spent over a hundred million to buy Marcus Collins a luxury yacht. So, I silently threw away the matching rings I had once planned to give her. Seven days before the wedding, she spent 50 million dollars to celebrate Marcus' birthday. Thus, I set fire to the photo album that held every memory of our past. Three days before the wedding, she wore the ring I had used to propose, and she kissed him deeply by the sea. Today, I finally chose to step aside. I notified our families and friends that the wedding was canceled, and I personally returned the engagement tokens to the Yardley family. Lowering my head, I said softly, "Mr. and Mrs. Yardley…I've always known I'm not worthy of Claire. I hope you can understand."

It has been 99 times that Henry and I have filed the application for divorce and then withdrawn it. Each time before finalizing the divorce, Henry always waits for me to humbly beg him to stay married. I turned down the offer to be the chief composer at a famous studio in Vienna because Henry didn't want a long-distance relationship. I deleted all my male friends because Henry didn't want me to be too friendly to them. I stopped wearing red lipstick, composing, and traveling alone, because he said married women should stay at home instead of being impulsive. Only after I finally manage to appease him will he allow me to withdraw the divorce application. After my 100th divorce application, as I was leaving, the deputy clerk asked me curiously: "So, when are you going to withdraw your application this time?" I looked at Henry's cold back in front of me, forced to smile with tears, and told myself in my heart— This time, there will be no withdrawal of the application. After the 30-day cooling-off period, we'll be officially divorced. But why did his love only find its voice when I had already walked away?

My mother-in-law, Teresa Hawke, said she was trapped inside her burning villa. I called my husband, Asher Jensen, begging him to save her. But he was too busy at some bar, flirting with his childhood sweetheart, Melanie Lanner. It wasn't until I begged him, over and over, that he finally went to save Teresa. But Melanie was snatched from that same bar, tortured, killed, and dumped. He acted like none of it mattered until I got pregnant. Then out of nowhere, he threw it all back on me, saying it was my fault. Asher pulled every string he could to bankrupt my family, driving Mom and Dad to leap to their deaths. Then he rounded up a gang of violent psychopaths and threw me in with them. I begged again and again, but he just watched me with that dead stare. "You'll suffer like Mel did before she died! She left this world in agony. Why should you get to live? That's not fair." 99 stab wounds—that was how many it took before I finally bled out and died. And then, I woke up, right back on the day Teresa screamed for help from inside that burning villa.

立花泰成（たちばなたいせい）が99回目の浮気をした後、川口陽菜（かわぐちはるな）はついにこの結婚を諦める決心をした。 彼女は凛とした態度で、スポットライトの下に立ち、口元に笑みを浮かべていたが、心は冷え切っていた。 結婚して3年、これは夫の浮気疑惑を99回目に釈明する場だった。 「立花夫人、本当にご主人が浮気していないと信じているのですか？」 陽菜の笑みが一瞬固まった。もちろん信じてなどいなかった。だが、泰成を諦めきれず、これまで何度も彼を許し、甘やかしてきた。ただ、今回はもう、これ以上続ける気にはなれなかった。 「私は、今までと同じように、夫を信じています。どうかくだらないことに労力を割くのはおやめください」 泰成は有名な司会者であり、大金持ちの投資家でもあった。メディアにスキャンダル写真を撮られるたび、陽菜が否定するのが常で、その決まり文句は、もはやメディアにも暗記されているほどだった。
