Announcement Pesawat

Our bridal room was set on fire, and my husband, a firefighter, was grievously wounded while trying to save me. I sent him to be saved at the hospital where Winnie Sloan, his childhood friend worked, but the surgery ended up being a failure, and my husband passed away. After the announcement that my husband was deceased, Winnie told me that his dying wish was that he wanted a child. Hearing that, I powered through my grief and used the sperm he had previously frozen to conceive a child through IVF, raising my son to be enrolled in the most prestigious university in the area. On the day of the celebration party, my son kicked me out and invited my husband and Winnie onto the stage as his 'biological parents', and that's when I found out that my husband had faked his death. All those years ago, he and Winnie had swapped out the embryo I'd conceived in secret. The son I had painstakingly given birth to and raised turned out to have no blood relation to me whatsoever. Meanwhile, my husband had been enjoying a luxurious life overseas with Winnie while waiting for a chance to reconnect with his son. In my rage, I confronted them and demanded an explanation, but ended up dying because they pushed me down the stairs. When I came to, I was back to the day of the fire.

For eight long years, Bryan Millan and I were married, but you’d never have known it by looking at his life. He never once acknowledged our relationship in public. Not a single post, not a single mention of me on his social media. Then came our anniversary. The day that was supposed to be about us. Instead, Bryan made an announcement on his Instagram account—just not the one I expected. There he was, hand in hand with his assistant, her draped in a wedding dress. The caption read: [When you're in love, you want the whole world to know.] The comments flooded in. [Bryan finally got married!] [Congrats! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together!] In that moment, I could no longer lie to myself. Bryan wasn't reserved. He just never loved me. So, I decided to let go. But he wasn't ready for that. He clung to me, desperate now. But I pried his hands off and laughed—a real, genuine laugh, the kind that comes from somewhere deep inside when you realize you're finally free. Then, I looked him straight in the eye and said the words I'd been holding in, "Don't beg me to come back. Because now that I don't love you, I've never felt better."

This is the second book in the Twisted series. Nathan Hall felt an instant attraction towards Lyra McCoy, the youngest of McCoy siblings, who also happened to be Hall's worst nemesis. But that didn’t hold Nathan from totally being absorbed by the red-haired beauty. Waiting for her outside her workplace, stalking her movement, watching over her from the shadow, taking care of her when she was vulnerable. After a fortuitous circumstance to save Lyra from the judgmental society's eyes, Nathan proudly announced their engagement. Lyra was skeptical of Nathan’s motive from the beginning, knowing the sour war between him and her older brother Brian, but she was fine with the announcement until she found out something unacceptable took place that would shatter everything if the news traveled out. Both McCoy and Hall would have deal with shame, so she sealed her mouth and played along with the game that Nathan started. However, the worst was yet to occur, and when it appeared, would this fake engagement that twisted into something call love would be adequate to sustain the thunderstorm? Only time would reveal, although there wasn't enough left.

Hari pendaftaran pernikahan, aku menunggu di Kantor Catatan Sipil sejak pagi hingga langit gelap. Sementara itu, pacarku Soni malah menemani cinta pertamanya naik gunung. Aku meneleponnya belasan kali, tapi semuanya ditolak. Sampai telepon ke-20 baru dia mengangkat. "Sehari nggak ketemu aku saja kamu harus menelepon puluhan kali, mau nyawa aku diambil, ya? Kamu sebenarnya segitu kekurangan lelaki, ya?" "Yeni lagi nggak enak badan, jantungnya kambuh. Aku harus jagain dia di rumah sakit. Urusan nikah, lain kali saja." Sepuluh tahun bersama, ini sudah ke-100 kalinya Soni meninggalkanku sendirian di depan Kantor Catatan Sipil demi perempuan itu. Untuk ke-101 kalinya, dia hanya meninggalkan pesan. [Sayang, jam sepuluh ketemu di Kantor Catatan Sipil.] Aku menahan tawa dingin, mengabaikan pesannya, lalu melangkah naik ke pesawat menuju luar negeri. Soni, kali ini aku tidak akan memilihmu lagi. Pria yang biasanya selalu terlihat tenang itu, begitu tahu aku pergi, benar-benar kehilangan kendali menggila.

Di pesta, putriku sengaja berkata dengan lantang kepada suamiku, "Papa, Bibi Davina lagi hamil anakmu. Apa itu berarti kita akan tinggal bersamanya mulai sekarang?" Suamiku meletakkan seporsi steik di depanku sambil menjawab pelan, "Aku dan mamamu pernah buat perjanjian, siapa pun yang berkhianat duluan harus lenyap dari dunia orang yang satunya lagi untuk selamanya." "Aku nggak sanggup tanggung konsekuensi itu, makanya aku merahasiakannya dengan baik. Setelah bayi itu lahir, aku juga nggak akan biarkan mereka muncul di depan mamamu." Seusai berbicara, suamiku menggunakan isyarat tangan untuk memberitahuku bahwa dia akan selalu mencintaiku. Namun, dia tidak memperhatikan mataku yang memerah. Suamiku tidak tahu bahwa telingaku telah sembuh dari seminggu yang lalu. Dia juga tidak tahu aku sudah menemukan perselingkuhan mereka. Dia lebih tidak tahu lagi bahwa aku telah diam-diam membeli tiket pesawat untuk mengajar di Thaken. Setelah semua dokumennya selesai diurus dalam tujuh hari, aku akan menghilang sepenuhnya.

Tiga hari sebelum pertunangan, Evan meneleponku. "Pertunangan kita ditunda sebulan, ya. Hari itu, konser pertama Lena setelah kembali ke negara ini. Aku nggak bisa melewatkannya." "Cuma menunda pertunangan, bukanlah masalah besar." Ini kali ketiga dalam setahun, Evan menunda pertunangan kami. Yang pertama, karena Lena dirawat di rumah sakit di luar negeri akibat radang usus buntu. Evan bilang dia ingin menjaga Lena dan buru-buru pergi ke sana. Yang kedua, karena Lena mengatakan dia sedang sedih. Evan khawatir Lena akan mengalami depresi, sehingga langsung memesan tiket pesawat ke luar negeri. Lalu, ini yang ketiga kalinya. Aku hanya mengiyakan dan menutup telepon. Kemudian, aku menoleh pada pria tampan bagai bangsawan yang berada di sampingku dan bertanya kepadanya, "Apa kamu tertarik untuk menikah?" Kemudian, di konser Lena, Evan meninggalkannya tanpa ragu. Dia bergegas pergi ke lokasi upacara pertunanganku dengan mata memerah. "Amanda, apa kamu benar-benar akan bertunangan dengan pria ini?"
