Ano Ang Tungkulin

“By the way, I saved you from your mate that rejected you without thinking twice, what do I get for it?” Those were the exact words of the man I was sold to by my mate the day I stepped into his mansion. Thick saliva landed roughly into the pit of my stomach. I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out. Only bubbles. His eyes colour was dark but who is to say it wasn't as dark as his intentions. What are the chances I was not in more danger than I would have been with my mate that rejected me. ************************************************* Amaya went from learning that her mate was the Alpha of her Pack whom she detested, to being rejected and offered the role of becoming his slut by the same Alpha. But then her story changed in a way she never expected nor wanted. She would have preferred staying in the dungeon where her mate threw her than to be sold to the infamous tyrant Alpha to stop an impending war. With a new Alpha in the picture, Amaya's life was only getting started. The question remains if it was for good or for bad.

My husband, Trent Bradford, is a paranoid supermale who has only had eyes for me just because I saved his life during an accident. Using his status and money, he had my former fiancé sent abroad before forcing me into marrying him. After that, he forbade me from having any sort of contact with other men, even going so far as to make me wear a bracelet with a tracker embedded inside. Even so, he would shower me with nothing but love and would not tolerate anyone hurling insults at me. For example, he cut off ties with his elder sister, Lucy Bradford, and sent her away to a slum because she said I reeked of poverty. On one occasion, he even attacked Tess O'Neil, his childhood friend, and poured wine all over the latter for her purposely spilling some on me prior. Still, I couldn't bring myself to love him despite all he's done. In the end, he decided to undergo a reverse vasectomy so that he could make me stay. However, Lucy barged into our villa with a bunch of people on my first trimester. She wanted to make me lose my baby and said I was a disgrace to the family. Fortunately, Trent showed up when I was most vulnerable. Holding the evidence that Tess gave her, Lucy said, "Step aside, Trent! That baby inside of her isn't yours, but another guy she's been having an affair with! I have taken care of her for you!"

Kebahagiaan yang tujuh tahun ini selalu mengitari dirinya kini telah sirna dalam sekejap mata. Sosok yang selama ini ia banggakan dan agungkan telah menancapkan duri tajam. Menusuk relung hati hatinya yang paling dalam. “Kenapa Mas tega melakukan ini padaku? Apa salah ku, Mas? Apa?!” pertanyaan beruntun keluar dari perempuan beranak satu sembari terisak-isak dalam tangisnya. Jilbab navy menjulur ke dadanya kini telah basah. Ia berusaha mengusap kedua pipinya karena air mata yang terus mengalir deras tanpa henti. Kehidupannya kini terasa begitu suram.

"Hai." Seorang wanita cantik menyapaku ramah dengan melempar senyum manis saat pintu kubuka. Aku hanya membalasnya dengan senyuman tipis yang dipaksa. Wanita itu masih memandangku ramah dengan sesekali mencari celah ke arah belakangku seperti sedang mencari seseorang. "Boleh masuk?" tanyanya kemudian karena aku masih berdiri di depannya. Belum mempersilakannya masuk. Sengaja. Aku juga masih memegang erat sisi tepi daun pintu agar tidak terbuka lebar. Inginku pintu ini segera menutup dan mencegah wanita ini masuk ke dalam rumah. "Bisakah tidak datang hari ini? Kami ada acara keluarga," ujarku tanpa basa-basi melontarkan pertanyaan itu padanya. Berharap wanita di depanku ini mengerti dan memutuskan pergi. Ini untuk pertama kalinya aku memberanikan diri menolak kedatangannya. "Oh ya, hm … ada acara keluarga? Surya tidak bilang. Acara apa? Boleh ikut?" Mataku terbelalak kaget tak percaya mendengar wanita yang tidak kuinginkan kehadirannya ini bertanya demikian? Ikut katanya? Mataku awas menengok ke arah belakangku, memastikan seseorang yang berada di dalam sana tidak mengetahui siapa yang bertamu saat ini. Aku baru tahu ada makhluk yang tanpa malu seperti dia hidup di muka bumi ini. bukankah memintanya tidak datang ke rumahku saat ini adalah sebuah pengusiran? kenapa dia tidak peka?
