Ariel Maddie

Depois que o irmão mais velho de Leo Carter morreu, a mãe dele propôs que ele se casasse com Ariel Sullivan, a viúva grávida do falecido. Leo recusou. — Fawn é a minha vida. — A voz dele soou fria, e o ar ao redor pareceu mais denso. — Eu preferia abrir mão de herdar o posto do meu irmão como Don a trair a minha esposa. Eu fiquei profundamente comovida com aquela devoção… até o dia em que, por acaso, eu ouvi uma conversa entre Leo e a mãe dele. — A criança na barriga de Ariel é claramente sua. — A mãe dele disparou, cortante. — Então por que você não vai se casar com ela? Leo soltou o ar devagar, e uma nuvem de fumaça escapou. O olhar dele se perdeu em algum ponto distante, indecifrável, como se nada ali o atingisse por completo. — Eu prometi à Ariel que deixaria meu irmão com um herdeiro. — A calma dele foi quase irritante, calculada demais. — Mas isso fica entre nós. Se a Fawn descobrir um dia… eu estou morto. A expressão da mãe dele escureceu, como se a paciência tivesse se partido. — E daí se ela descobrir? Ela nem pode ter filhos. — A voz dela veio carregada de desprezo. — Você vai acabar com a linhagem da família por causa dela? — Se ela descobrir, ela vai me deixar. — A frieza de Leo cortou como lâmina, perigosa. — E eu não sobrevivo sem ela. Se você quer um neto, então cale a boca. Eu me afastei cambaleando, como se tivesse levado um golpe. O sangue nas minhas veias foi esfriando aos poucos, até virar gelo. Leo me conhecia melhor do que qualquer um; ele sabia que, no meu mundo, amor não tolerava traição. Então, no instante em que ele me traiu, eu tomei a minha decisão. Eu iria embora.

Après le décès du frère aîné de Leo Carter, sa mère a proposé qu'il épouse Ariel Sullivan, la femme enceinte de son défunt frère. Leo a refusé. « Fawn est ma vie », a-t-il dit froidement. « Je préfère renoncer à hériter de la position de mon frère en tant que parrain plutôt que de trahir ma femme. » J'ai été profondément touchée par sa dévotion. Jusqu'au moment où j'ai accidentellement entendu une conversation entre Leo et sa mère. « L'enfant qu'Ariel porte dans son ventre est clairement le tien », a déclaré sa mère d'un ton sec. « Alors pourquoi refuses-tu de l'épouser ? » Leo a expiré une bouffée de fumée. Son regard s'est perdu au loin, indéchiffrable. « J'ai promis à Ariel que je laisserais un héritier à mon frère », a-t-il dit calmement. « Mais ça reste entre nous. Si Fawn l'apprend un jour, je suis mort. » Le visage de sa mère s'est assombri. « Et alors si elle l'apprend ? Elle ne peut même pas avoir d'enfants elle-même. Vas-tu laisser s'éteindre la lignée familiale à cause d'elle ? » Leo l'a interrompue, sa voix soudainement froide et dangereuse. « Si elle l'apprend, elle me quittera. Et je ne survivrai pas à sa perte. Si tu veux un petit-fils, alors tais-toi. » Je me suis éloignée en titubant, hébétée, et le sang dans mes veines s'est lentement glacé. Leo me comprenait mieux que personne. Il savait que dans mon monde, l'amour ne pouvait tolérer une trahison. Alors, au moment où il m'a trahie, j'ai pris ma décision. J'allais partir.

Tubuh kami saling terjerat di dalam mobil. Suamiku terus bergerak di dalam tubuh bagian bawahku, bibirnya mencium dadaku, lalu dering ponsel tiba-tiba menyadarkanku dari lamunan kami yang memabukkan. Ariel pun menjawab tanpa ragu. Itu salah satu teman terdekatnya dari dunia medis, berbicara dalam Bahasa Garnia. “Ketua.” Suara itu berkata dengan santai, “Selingkuhanmu sudah hamil dua bulan. Kau mau gimana?” Ariel tidak berhenti. Nada suaranya tetap tenang. “Merlin nggak bisa punya anak,” jawabnya. “Aku akan biarkan Sintia mengandung bayi itu sampai lahir, lalu mengadopsinya sebagai anakku sendiri. Itu akan mengamankan posisi pewaris. Ini rahasia kita berdua.” Sesuatu di dalam diriku membeku. Dia lupa satu hal .... Aku mengambil jurusan Bahasa Garnia. Bahkan, dia mempelajari bahasa itu hanya untuk memenangkan hatiku. Tapi aku tidak berteriak. Aku tidak mengonfrontasinya. Sebaliknya, aku tersenyum, tetap diam, dan terus berperan sebagai istri yang sempurna.

Ketika identitas baruku aktif, aku pergi tanpa menoleh ke belakang. Membawa serta anak di dalam rahimku. Dan, menghilang dari dunianya selamanya ....

"Dangerous? He looks so peaceful here. Angelic almost. How could someone so beautiful be dangerous?" Satan was once an angel. Warning: depictions of sexual assault, racism and murder throughout the story. If any of these topics are triggering for you, I do not recommend reading. Thank you.

Untuk menyembuhkan depresi si putri kaya palsu, kekasih masa kecilku yang pernah bersumpah hanya akan menikah denganku, Darryl, diam-diam pergi mendaftarkan pernikahan dengannya. Di belakangnya, aku menyetujui perjodohan keluargaku. Aku menikah dengan pewaris keluarga konglomerat di ibu kota, Vincent, yang diam-diam telah mencintaiku selama bertahun-tahun. Setelah tujuh tahun menikah, dia memanjakanku sepenuh hati. Malam demi malam dia selalu menuntut kemesraan dariku. Bahkan jika aku menginginkan bintang di langit, dia tetap akan berusaha mengambilkannya untukku. Aku sempat mengira, akhirnya aku telah menemukan kebahagiaan. Hingga suatu kali setelah bercinta, aku tidak sengaja mendengar percakapan Vincent dengan sahabatnya. "Avril sudah jadi aktris internasional peraih penghargaan. Kapan kamu mau pisah sama Ariel?" "Toh sama saja harus nikah sama orang yang nggak kucintai, jadi mau sama siapa pun itu nggak ada bedanya. Lagi pula, aku harus jaga Ariel agar dia nggak mengganggu kebahagiaan yang didapatkan Avril dengan susah payah." Aku membuka komputer di ruang kerjanya. Di dalam sebuah folder tersembunyi, tersimpan ratusan ribu foto Avril dan seratus surat cinta yang tak pernah dia kirimkan. Setidak percaya apa pun pada kenyataan, saat ini aku benar-benar sudah harus sadar. Aku membeli sebuah tubuh plastik, lalu merancang sebuah kebakaran besar. Mulai saat ini, entah di langit atau di neraka, aku tak akan pernah bertemu dengannya lagi.
