Karma

Setiap hari pertengkaran dan perdebatan. Itulah yang terjadi dalam rumah tanggaku. Sedikit saja masalah, seketika menjadi pertikaian yang hebat. Ya Allah aku lelah! Berdosakah jika aku memilih mundur? Tak ada bayangan masa depan yang cerah jika aku bertahan dengan lelaki yang selalu membuat goresan luka. Belum lagi, biaya sekolah anak. Aku tak mau anakku tak menempuh pendidikan yang tinggi. Anakku harus lebih dariku. Harus! Aku segera masuk ke dalam kamar. Meraih sepucuk surat dari Abah. Lelaki cinta pertamaku. Surat yang baru saja sampai tadi pagi. Dalam surat ini berisi, Abah memintaku segera pulang, karena warisan akan segera di bagi dengan kakak dan adikku. Aku tak mau, Mas Bima tahu hal ini. Karena jika ia tahu, bisa jadi akan dia kuasai dan aku hanya gigit jari. Bismillah ... aku harus segera pulang, hanya bersama Azkia, bagaimanapun caranya. Ya Allah ... aku lelah!

"How dare you betray my son! I'll kill you!" "Yes! Beat that loose woman to death together with that brat!" Shifting my gaze from the report on the floor to my furious father-in-law, I pulled out several photos—my naked mother-in-law Maria, caught with another man. "Let's see who the real loose woman is!"

I secretly sent Lena Parker, my husband Dominic Caballero's mistress, away to Sicara. I'm defying his authority as the Don of Coastwick, New Hudson. That very night, he abducts my parents and younger brother, using their lives to force me to reveal Lena's whereabouts. Dominic pushes his phone in front of me. On the screen, I see my family tied to chairs, the timer of the bombs ticking down. 00:59:59 00:59:58 He sits across from me and taps his fingers softly against the table, like he's closing a business deal. "Alyssa, you have 59 minutes," Dominic says in a calm, almost gentle voice. "Where's Lena?" I freeze, my throat tightening as if strangled. I can't get a word out. This is the third time he's pressed me. The first time, he asked where Lena had gone, but I stayed silent. The second time, he grabbed my chin and said in a low voice, "Alyssa, don't play games." Now, for the third time, he's threatening my family's lives. "Dominic…" I call out, my voice trembling. "They're my family. They're the most important people to me." He chuckles. "Is that so? Then why didn't you think about how important Lena is to me when you sent her away?" I stare at him, feeling how utterly absurd it all is. Important? He told me before that other women were just playthings. Once he got bored, he'd dump them. He swore I was the only one he loved. But now, for Lena, he's willing to kill my family.

Kaden Zacarias and I have been together for a decade. He gives me all his love throughout that time. But one day, I see the news of him marrying Gwendolyn Crawford as part of a marriage alliance.

I can just keep her around as a mistress after getting married. Remember to keep your mouths shut about this." Our decade-long love goes up in flames, but I don't question him. Instead, I call my father with a withered heart and say, "I'll go through with the marriage alliance. I'll leave the country."

I used to be so happy with my husband, Ian Shaw, until his first love got too drunk one day and was taken away by five strange men for an entire night. To protect her reputation, he told everyone that I was the one who was kidnapped that night. Everyone criticized me, calling the baby in my belly a child of shame. I questioned Ian hysterically, but he said nonchalantly, "Ruby isn’t married yet. People will laugh at her if the news spreads." I looked icily at the man I had loved for six years, shock taking over as I realized he had probably never loved me back.
