Karma

For five years, I was married to Joshua Grayson. He was known as the gentleman of the tech industry and was never arrogant. In fact, he was always cool and collected. A shame we never had any children of our own. I asked every single doctor I could get my hands on, but nothing helped. For that, I kept beating myself up. Joshua told me that it was fine if we had no children, and that what mattered was that our souls were perfect for each other. We did not need any children to secure our bonds. I believed him. And then I found an unsealed box of Plan B in a secret space in his study. It looked exactly the same as the vitamin tablets he fed me all the time. A phone sat under the box. The screen was a photo of him with his top secretary, Yvonne Wellington. It was a family of three. Then, a message popped up on the screen. 'Our girl's born, Joshua! Haven't thought of her full name yet, so we'll call her Cece for now.' 'Oh, right, you fed your wife contraceptives for five years. Now that we have a perfect family, you should kick her out and make me your wife instead. When's that going to happen?' The message hit me like a lightning bolt that came out of nowhere. To think I wasted five years beating myself up for never getting a baby. To think I looked forward to one. And now, everything was crumbling around me.

Saat longsor salju di arena ski, aku didorong ke bawah oleh adik sepupuku sendiri, Julia Luandi.Kekasihku, Billy Juman, menggendong adik sepupuku, lalu membalikkan tubuhnya berjalan pergi begitu saja. Dia bahkan lupa bahwa masih ada aku yang terkubur di dasar salju, meninggalkanku sendirian selama tujuh hari di lembah. Saat mereka menemukanku, Billy berkata dengan emosi, “Seharusnya kamu bersyukur kedua lengan Lia baik-baik saja. Kalau nggak, kamu mesti mati di gunung salju ini untuk menebus kesalahanmu!” “Pernikahan pada seminggu kemudian dibatalkan. Kapan kamu menyadari kesalahanmu, kapan kita adakan pernikahan kita.” Tadinya Billy mengira aku akan menangis dan merengek lantaran tidak menyetujuinya. Namun, aku hanya mengangguk dengan perlahan. “Oke.” Billy tidak tahu aku telah melakukan sebuah transaksi dengan Dewa Bulan. Enam hari kemudian, aku akan menukarkan barang paling berharga bagiku, yaitu cinta dan ingatanku terhadap Billy. Mulai saat ini, aku akan melupakan semua tentang Billy, lalu memulai hidup di tempat baru. Menikah sudah tidak penting bagiku. Siena yang mencintainya itu sudah meninggal di dalam gunung salju.

Demi memberi kejutan pada suamiku, aku melepas pakaianku dan bersembunyi di asrama lokasi proyek konstruksinya. Namun tak kusangka, suamiku tidak datang. Yang datang malah tiga rekan kerjanya yang lain. Mereka tergoda oleh celana dalamku dan malah melampiaskannya pada bibi koki di sana. Karena adegan yang terjadi di hadapanku itu terlalu panas, gairahku pun ikut terpancing. Saat sedang memuaskan diriku, aku tak kuasa mendesah. Ketiga pria itu pun menoleh ke lemari tempatku bersembunyi secara bersamaan ....

Tepat pada hari ulang tahunku, seorang sepupu yang sedang belajar balet terjatuh dan kakinya cedera. Ayah begitu marah dan langsung memukul kakiku dengan tongkat. Aku menjerit kesakitan, tetapi dia malah menyindir dengan nada kesal. "Sekarang kamu tahu bagaimana rasanya kesakitan? Waktu kamu dorong sepupumu sampai terjatuh dari tangga, kenapa kamu nggak mikir kalau dia juga akan kesakitan?" Dia memukulku lebih keras lagi, sampai aku tidak sanggup berteriak lagi. Untuk membuatku jera, dia melemparku yang sudah sekarat ini ke dalam ruang bawah tanah. "Yolanda, kalau kamu sudah bisa membuang pikiran jahatmu itu, baru aku akan mengeluarkanmu!" Namun, saat dia membuka ruang bawah tanah itu lagi, dia hanya menemukan tubuhku yang sudah hancur dan membusuk.

Cuando me apuñalaron, luché con todas mis fuerzas para llamar a mi hermano. Solo cuando mi conciencia comenzaba a desvanecerse, él respondió, con un tono de evidente fastidio. —¿Qué quieres esta vez? —Hermano, ayuda... No pude terminar la frase. Me interrumpió bruscamente. —¿Por qué siempre tienes problemas? A finales de mes es la ceremonia de graduación de Luna. Si no vienes, ¡te juro que te mataré! Dicho esto, colgó el teléfono sin dudar. No pude soportar el dolor. Cerré los ojos para siempre, con lágrimas aun corriendo por mi rostro. “Hermano, no tendrás que matarme. Ya estoy muerta.”

Freya Stein was reborn to the day when she had to choose a fiancé. In her past life, she had chosen the high and mighty scion of the Haretts, but Magnus Harett turned out to be a cold and unapproachable man. On the day of their wedding, he lost his mind and ended up driving the car off the cliff while they were heading to the venue. She ended up becoming disabled because of it, while he became paralyzed. Despite all that, she pushed herself to the limit and took care of him for the rest of his life. As she was drawing her last breath, he regarded her icily and refused to save her. “A nasty woman like her has no right to live. It’s time she goes to hell for what she has done to Ifrit.” It was only then that she found out that Magnus had resented her all along because of what happened to the housemaid's daughter who committed suicide in their room. Now that Freya had been given a second chance, she decided she would choose another man to fulfill his wish. However, Magnus turned rabid on the day of her wedding. He showed up and wanted to stop her from marrying another man.

Au moment de l'explosion au laboratoire, Laurent Cédric, mon petit ami, s'est précipité avec angoisse vers Camille Dubois qui se trouvait à l'extérieur, la protégeant fermement sous son corps. Dès que l'explosion s'est arrêtée, il a immédiatement emmené Camille à l'hôpital. Sans même jeter un regard à moi, couverte de sang et effondrée par terre. Cette jeune fille qu'il avait élevée pendant dix-huit ans occupait entièrement son cœur. Il n'y avait plus de place pour personne d'autre. Ce sont mes collègues qui m'ont emmenée à l'hôpital, me sauvant ainsi la vie. Après être sortie de réanimation, les yeux gonflés par les pleurs, j'ai appelé mon professeur : « Professeur, j'ai pris ma décision, je suis prête à participer à votre recherche confidentielle. Même si je dois partir dans un mois et ne pouvoir contacter personne pendant cinq ans, cela ne me dérange pas. » Un mois plus tard, le mariage que j'attendais depuis si longtemps aurait lieu. Mais je ne voulais plus me marier.

After having a crush on someone for 10 years, out of love, my father drugged his friend and placed him on my bed. When he woke at dawn the next morning, his eyes were ice-cold. But he still accept our engagement. However, life after marriage wasn’t as good as I thought. Mike Ashton would frequently fly abroad and stay there for a long time. I gave birth to our daughter on my own as I waited for him to return home. After four years, when I heard that he was returning home, I postponed everything and went to the airport expectantly with our daughter in my arms. Our daughter reached out her little hand and was hoping for a hug from him. He just looked at me indifferently and said in a cold voice, “I’m sorry, but I’m a neat freak.” From then on, my daughter and I would wash our hands at least three times every day and the house would be spotless. However, he still rarely came home and never gave our daughter a warm hug. That was until when I accidentally saw a video with Mike in it. “Mike, what do you think is the happiest thing in the world?” He answered casually, “I think it’s when I tucked Oliver into bed and dragged Jennifer into the bathroom when I was abroad last week.” The people around him all laughed, but my heart felt ice-cold. Jennifer Bundred was Mike’s ex-girlfriend who he still had an entanglement with and Oliver was her son. It seemed that he had been living with them during the time that he was abroad for the past four years. This fact finally made me give up all illusions. I left a divorce agreement for him, gave up my and our daughter’s identities, and went abroad to start a new life.
