Akun Twitter Ke Lock

Hari itu adalah hari ulang tahunku. Kupikir, Andre akan menemaniku ke pantai untuk menonton kembang api. Tapi, pacarku itu malah membawa wanita lain dan anak wanita itu. "Keisya repot bawa anak, tolong pengertian." "Dia nggak tahu jalan dan bawa barang banyak, jadi aku mau antar mereka ke hotel duluan." Dia mengatakannya dengan enteng, seolah sedang menjelaskan masalah sepele. Kelembutan itulah yang membuat kemarahanku tampak berlebihan dan tanpa alasan. Dia membantu mereka masuk ke dalam mobil dan memasangkan sabuk pengaman untuk anak itu. Lalu dia tersenyum dan berkata kepadaku, "Aku nggak lama pasti balik lagi, jangan mikir macam-macam." Aku berdiri di pinggir jalan, menyaksikan mereka pergi seakan-akan mereka satu keluarga sempurna. Malam tiba. Angin laut terasa sangat dingin hingga menusuk tulang. Aku masih menunggu, sampai aku melihat video di akun Keisya. Andre menggendong anak Keisya sambil menonton pertunjukan kembang api di pantai. Pertunjukan itu adalah kejutan yang aku rencanakan sendiri untuk ulang tahunku. Isi komentar di bawahnya senada. [Mereka pasangan yang serasi, keluarga kecil yang bahagia.] Seseorang bertanya padanya kenapa dia tidak menjemputku. Dia tersenyum dan berkata, "Viona pengertian. Dia nggak mungkin marah." Pada saat itu, kue ulang tahunku sudah meleleh seluruhnya. Ternyata, dia bukannya tidak punya hati. Dia hanya terlalu yakin bahwa aku akan terus menunggu selamanya. Tapi, hati yang terlalu lama diabaikan pasti akan menjadi dingin. Ombak menghantam pantai. Menghancurkan ilusi terakhirku. Kali ini, aku tidak akan menunggunya kembali.

Pada hari jadi pernikahan pertama kami, aku baru menyadari bahwa sekotak pengaman yang kubeli sebelum pernikahan sudah lama kedaluwarsa. Tidak akan ada yang percaya, suamiku yang seorang mafia, Alvaro Munandar, dan aku belum pernah berhubungan seks. Jadi, aku mengumpulkan keberanian untuk membeli satu set piyama seksi. Setelah tiga gelas wiski, begitu Alvaro mendorong pintu masuk, aku memeluknya erat-erat. “Sayang,” bisikku di telinganya. “Tidurin aku hari ini, aku menginginkanmu...” Tetapi Alvaro menepis tanganku dengan dingin dan kejam, seolah-olah sedang mengeluarkan pistol. “Raina, kamu pelacur ya?” “Melakukan hal-hal yang tidak tahu malu berulang kali. Jika kamu benar-benar kesepian, aku akan memesankan beberapa mainan agar kamu bisa bermain sepuasnya.” Wajahku langsung pucat dan aku membeku. Aku tidak mengerti kenapa seorang istri dianggap 'pelacur' ketika dia meminta belaian dari suaminya. Malam itu, aku meringkuk di sofa dan tak kuasa menahan diri untuk mengunggah sesuatu di media sosial. [Suamiku memiliki fungsi seksual normal, kenapa dia tidak menyentuhku setelah menikah?] Seseorang berkomentar, [Mungkin suamimu punya istri lain.] Komentar itu seperti pisau, menusukku hingga tersadar. Aku tiba-tiba menyadari, mungkin bukan karena aku kurang menarik secara seksual, melainkan karena dia memang bukan milikku. Saat aku menekan tombol hapus akun, aku juga memutuskan untuk pergi. Tetapi siapa sangka bahwa pria yang tidak pernah melirikku akan menjadi gila dan mencariku setelah aku menghilang. “Raina, setelah kamu pergi, aku tak pernah bisa ereksi lagi!”

Sequel 2 Novel 'Tante, Mau kan jadi mamaku?' (Judul Sebelumnya OTW Beken) Sebelumnya hidupku baik-baik saja. Aman, tentram, damai dan terkendali.

Bukannya diambil dan disimpan, malah di tolak. Waras kamu?" What the hell! "Saya juga heran sama Bapak. Sudah tahu ditolak, masih aja gigih maksa. Kayak gak ada cewek lain aja diluaran sana. Kenapa? Situ kurang laku, ya?" Nah, kan. Emang enak dibalikin? Pokoknya, lo jual, gue borong, Bang!

His eyes returned to me—slow, assessing. Then, without warning, his hands shot up and clamped around my throat. I gasped, instinctively clawing at his arms. He didn’t move. “Disobey me again,” he said, voice low, stripped of warmth, “and we won’t be counting next time.” Even shaking, I lifted my chin. “Then don’t mistake silence for obedience,” I said hoarsely. Carlino’s voice followed—calm, absolute, as if nothing had happened. “Lock her floor tonight.” That was when it settled. There was no mercy here. No exaggeration. Every word, every threat—he meant them. He wasn’t pretending to be the devil. He simply didn’t bother hiding it. --- She hates him. He refuses to let himself want her. Lina Gray never thought love would betray her. Until the man she trusted, traded her life to pay his debts. Delivered into the hands of Carlino Lacentra, the Mafia king whose name ends conversations. Lina is stripped of choice and crowned Donna to secure a throne she never asked for. In his world, power is law, loyalty is currency, and a woman beside the king is never just a woman.

I fought with my husband, Alessio, the Don of the Moretti family, over the mistress who'd given him twin sons. The next day, he stormed into my bedroom and put a gun to my head. "Did you take my sons?! You vicious bitch!" While I was still in shock, he ordered his men to lock my eight-year-old daughter, Lucia, in the icehouse for three whole days of "training." He gave me an ultimatum: Lucia would stay there until I brought him his sons. Lucia froze to death in that icehouse. I returned with her death certificate in my hand, my heart a hollow stone in my chest, only to find him moving his mistress and their sons into the home we once shared. He was cheerful, dismissing the whole thing as a misunderstanding. He even had the audacity to tell me to go get Lucia to meet her "new little brothers." I just stared, tears tracking paths down my face, the life inside me extinguished. It wasn't until that thin piece of paper—the death certificate—fluttered to the floor that the color drained from Alessio's face. He finally realized Lucia was gone. Killed by his own blind, cruel pride.

My company hosts an appreciation gala to thank long-time clients. I go to the company's cold storage to retrieve the batch of wine just flown in from overseas when a stream of comments suddenly appears before my eyes. "That was close! She almost caught Daisy covered in red wine and looking all seductive. Good thing Tristan reacted fast and hid her in the freezer." "Can Scarlett just leave already? Look how cold Daisy and Tristan are. They are shivering. What if they catch a cold?" I pause mid-step, my gaze landing on the freezer behind me. Red wine is dripping out, and a piece of fabric is caught in the door. On it, I see the motif I personally sew onto my fiancé's clothes. Just then, the comments appear again. "Tristan plays it cool, claiming he is all about platonic love and staying chaste for Daisy. What a touching romance!" I smirked coldly. The platonic act is fake. The truth is he's cheating on me. Without a word, I turn around and toss the clothes they leave on the floor into the trash. Then, I lock the cold storage door and call the boss, who is in the middle of giving a speech. I exclaim over the phone, "A thief broke into the company! I locked them in the cold storage. Please bring some men and come over quickly!"

I thought rejection was the worst pain a wolf could endure. I was wrong. The night Damon Calder left me marked but unclaimed, he shattered me. My body burned for him, my wolf howled for him—but he walked away without looking back. Now fate has decided to twist the knife deeper. My mother has married his father. Which makes the boy who broke me…the stepbrother who haunts me across the dinner table. The bond between us is half-finished, raw and vicious, clawing through my veins. Every brush of his hand, every stolen glance, every growled word drags me closer to the edge I swore I’d never cross again. But Damon isn’t just my ex-mate. He’s the outlaw Alpha’s son. Dangerous. Reckless. Marked by secrets that could burn us all alive. I should stay away. I should hate him for what he did. But when his storm-gray eyes lock on mine and his voice drops low enough for only me to hear— “Run to whoever you want, Lyric. Your wolf will crawl back to me.” I realize the truth. No matter how hard I fight it… I’m already his.

After confirming I was pregnant, I suddenly heard my husband’s inner voice. “This idiot is still gloating over her pregnancy. She doesn’t even know we switched out her IVF embryo. She’s nothing more than a surrogate for Elle. If Elle weren’t worried about how childbirth might endanger her life, I would’ve kicked this worthless woman out already. Just looking at her makes me sick. “Once she delivers the baby, I’ll make sure she never gets up from the operating table. Then I’ll finally marry Elle, my one true love.” My entire body went rigid. I clenched the IVF test report in my hands and looked straight at my husband. He gazed back at me with gentle eyes. “I’ll take care of you and the baby for the next few months, honey.” However, right then, his inner voice struck again. “I’ll lock that woman in a cage like a dog. I’d like to see her escape!” Shock and heartbreak crashed over me all at once because the Elle he spoke of was none other than my sister.
