Arti Perhaps

I've died on my wedding day. When I'm in the middle of getting cruelly tortured by the thugs, my parents, older brother, and my fiance are all comforting my younger adopted sister, Arianna Capuano, who's bawling her eyes out. Before I die, I've called them for help. But Diego Atzori, my fiance who's the next Don of the Atzori family, sounds extremely angry at me when he picks up the call. "Carlotta Capuano, Arianna's life is more important than our marriage! Stop putting on an act just to attract attention!" The call goes dead. My life is also entering its countdown. I can only lie in my own puddle of blood, my body broken and mutilated, until I stop breathing entirely. No one can find me at home. They think I'm just throwing a tantrum because the wedding has gotten canceled. Perhaps I've chosen to run away from the altar just so I can attract their attention. What they don't know is the fact that I've never left home. In fact, I've died in the basement of my own house. I died right beneath their feet.

In Reychelle City, a contest was held to crown the most beautiful woman. After my cousin scarred my face, she seized first place with ease. What she never expected was that this year's contest wasn't for fame; it was to select the future wife of the Third Prince, a ruthless, bloodthirsty eunuch. That very afternoon, gifts poured in by the cartload. My betrothed panicked. That night, he tore up our engagement contract and carried my cousin into the bridal chamber. The next day, she trailed her lacquered fingertips across my cheek and sneered, "Alicia, with your ruined face, who would ever want you? Perhaps the beggar at the street corner might take you in." I caught her wrist, let out a cold laugh, and said, "Who told you I would marry a beggar?" Before her stunned eyes, I pushed open my parents' chamber doors. "Mom, since Maggie doesn't wish to be the prince's consort… let me take her place." Three years later, before the eyes of a shocked court, the Third Prince entered the grand hall with me at his side, with two children in tow. No one had foreseen it. This body of mine, blessed with the rarest gift of fertility, was the perfect match for a man believed incapable of siring heirs.

PROSES REVISI. JANGAN DIBACA DULU. Di tengah riuhnya sorakan penonton, Keenan berdiri tegak, sorot matanya tetap fokus meski di sekelilingnya gemuruh tak henti-henti. ISF Basketball World Schools Championship, ajang ini adalah puncak dari segala kerja kerasnya. Bola di tangannya terasa begitu familiar, seolah bagian dari dirinya. Dengan lincah, ia menggiring, melewati setiap lawan yang mencoba menghalangi. Setiap langkahnya ringan, tapi penuh arti, membawa ingatan pada kerja keras yang tak terhitung. Saat ia mendekati garis tiga angka, seluruh dunia seakan menahan napas. Keenan melompat, bola melayang sempurna di udara, dan saat bola itu menembus jaring dengan mulus, sorak-sorai membahana. Tapi, di tengah semua itu, Keenan tetap tenang. Dia tidak mencari kemenangan demi sorak penonton. Ada sesuatu yang lebih berharga dari sekadar poin. Matanya menyapu kerumunan, mencari wajah yang selama ini selalu ada untuknya, meski tanpa suara. Dan di sana, di antara lautan orang, gadis itu. Gadis yang selalu ada, yang dengan diamnya telah menjadi kekuatan terbesar baginya. Keenan tersenyum kecil, hanya sekejap, lalu dalam hati dia berbisik, lembut tapi penuh makna, "Thanks a lot for always having my back. You have no idea how much your support means to me. This win is ours, not just mine." --- Urutan Baca: 1. About Me: Alshameyzea 2. About Keenan

Pada hari terjadi kebakaran di vila, suamiku mengunci pintu kamar demi menyelamatkan anjing poodle cinta pertamanya. Dari balik pintu, aku memegangi perutku yang hamil sambil memohon padanya untuk membuka pintu. Asap yang tebal membuatku kesulitan bernapas. Jerry mencibir dari balik pintu, "Anjing Andini juga punya nyawa! Kamu kan kuat. Meski hirup asap juga nggak akan mati! Jangan coba-coba pakai anak sebagai cara licik untuk rebut perhatian!" Kemudian, dia berbalik dan pergi bersama anjing itu. Dia juga sangat perhatian dan menutupi hidung anjing itu dengan handuk basah.

His gaze burned, but she held her head high, swallowing her tears and fear, moving forward toward the inevitable. She had no idea who she was truly facing, but Andrews was not her biggest problem. That’s why she was determined to see this through until she got what she needed. At the altar, before everyone, she said "yes" and bound herself to a marriage that was never meant to be hers.

But no one could know why Aurora was there, and now she alone carried the weight of that secret.

Trapped in a web of lies and resentment, how long will Aurora endure the scorn of the man she was forced to marry? And when will Andrews realize that perhaps he married the wrong woman… or the right one, the only one who can make him face what haunts him?
