Arti Step Mother

My mom treated me like the dirt beneath her shoes but worshiped my cousin like a queen. Since I could walk, I had scrubbed clothes and cooked meals, but I would still be yelled at or smacked if I messed up. On the contrary, my cousin twirled in princess dresses and played the piano. She was cherished by my aunt and uncle like she was the center of their world. Then came the day everything changed. At my cousin's birthday party, my mom got drunk and spilled the secret—she switched me and my cousin at birth. It turned out that I wasn't her daughter; I was my aunt's daughter. I was over the moon. Finally, I thought I'd found my real family, people who might actually care about me. But when I told my aunt, she just smirked. "You think I didn't know? I don't want you. You'll never be my daughter." Her words hit me like a bucket of ice water. I couldn't understand. Why didn't anyone want me? But that day, I made a vow—I'd never beg for anyone's love again. Years later, when I got into Mayward University—the best educational institution in the country—I threw two DNA test reports on the table in front of them. For the first time, they both looked terrified.

Kami sudah menikah selama lima tahun. Suamiku, Derrick, pergi dinas selama setengah tahun, lalu membawa pulang cinta pertamanya, Syifa. Syifa sudah hamil lebih dari tiga bulan dan Derrick bilang hidupnya tidak mudah, jadi akan tinggal di rumahku untuk sementara waktu. Aku menolak, tetapi Derrick malah memintaku untuk jangan bersikap tidak tahu diri. Nada bicaranya penuh rasa jijik, seolah-olah dia lupa vila ini adalah bagian dari mas kawinku. Selama ini, mereka sekeluarga menggunakan uangku. Kali ini, aku memutuskan untuk menghentikan semua sokongan hidup itu. Sambil tersenyum, aku menelepon asisten. "Segera buatkan aku surat perjanjian cerai. Seorang menantu pecundang saja berani terang-terangan membawa selingkuhan pulang ke rumah."

I accidentally break the glass that my husband's true love gave to him. As punishment, he sends me to a place where the upper crust groom their playthings. He wants me to go there as an apology to his true love. I suffer inhumane treatment there. Later, I manage to escape and am brought to the hospital. That's where I find out I'm pregnant.

Dans la meute des Terres Boréales, une loi immuable interdisait à un Alpha de s'unir à une humaine. Pourtant, Kévin Volf a secrètement scellé le lien conjugal avec moi. Pour me garder à ses côtés, il a défié le Conseil des Sages, subi quatre-vingt-dix-neuf coups de fouet et s'est agenouillé trois jours entiers devant l'autel. Alors que le sang imbibait sa chemise, il me souriait encore : « Alice, n'aie pas peur. Toi, et rien que toi. » Plus tard, les Sages obstinés ont enfin cédé, acceptant notre fuite amoureuse. À une condition : qu'il donne à la meute un héritier de sang pur. Depuis ce jour, une phrase a rythmé nos vies : « Attends un peu. » La première fois, il m'a demandé d'attendre qu'il mette une louve enceinte. Trente-trois nuits avec Joséphine, jusqu'à ce qu'elle porte son enfant. La seconde fois, il a répété cette phrase, car la portée était une femelle, le clan exigeait un héritier mâle. Quatre-vingt-dix-neuf nouvelles nuits avec Joséphine, jusqu'à la grossesse suivante. Au moment où je croyais toucher au but, leur fille, fraîchement baptisée, a ingéré par erreur de l'aconit. Tous m'ont accusée. Jetée dans une chambre froide à moins vingt degrés, j'ai vu mon Alpha bien-aimé, les yeux écarlates et le regard glaçant, me dire : « Je t'avais pourtant dit de patienter… Tu sais ce que l'aconit représente pour nous. Pourquoi as-tu voulu faire du mal à mon enfant ? » Son enfant ? Vraiment ? J'ai senti mon cœur se déchirer. Mes poings se sont serrés, les ongles entaillant cruellement mes paumes. Lorsque la porte du congélateur s'est rouverte, j'ai desserré mes mains ensanglantées et une décision était née : « L'attente, c'est terminé ! »

Orang tuaku mengadopsi seorang anak yatim piatu dan aku sangat menyayanginya, bahkan memperlakukannya layaknya anakku sendiri. Sampai akhirnya aku sadar, wajahnya semakin mirip dengan suamiku, Yobel, bahkan diam-diam memanggil adikku dengan sebutan ‘ibu’. Ternyata, suamiku yang begitu mencintaiku sudah lama berselingkuh. Dia dan adikku diam-diam membangun keluarga bahagia, bahkan mendapat restu dari orang tuaku. Saat semuanya terbongkar, adikku memohon agar aku merestui mereka dan orang tuaku menyuruhku untuk mengalah. Anak yang begitu kusayangi selama ini, malah mengutukku dengan kejam. Namun, mereka tak menyangka, sebenarnya Yobel yang menolak untuk bercerai. Dia menangis memohon pengampunanku, berkata bahwa dia benar-benar mencintaiku dan anak itu hanyalah sebuah kecelakaan. Aku berpura-pura percaya pada ketulusannya, lalu berkata, “Tujuh hari, aku kasih kamu tujuh hari. Kalau kamu bisa menunjukkan ketulusanmu, aku akan memaafkanmu.” Yobel senang bukan main dan menuruti semua perkataanku, memperlakukanku seperti harta berharga. Demi diriku, dia bahkan menyumbangkan seluruh tabungannya, memaksa adikku berlutut di salju untuk meminta maaf padaku. Semua orang mengira aku akan memaafkannya, hingga hari di mana polisi datang untuk menyuruh mereka mengidentifikasi jenazah. Saat itulah, Yobel benar-benar gila. Yobel tidak tahu, sebenarnya aku sudah mati sejak tujuh hari lalu. Hanya saja, malaikat kematian memberiku izin kembali ke dunia selama tujuh hari, untuk berpamitan dengan Yobel.

Até que ponto meu marido já me amou um dia? Naquela época, para poder se casar comigo, ele me pediu em casamento noventa e nove vezes. Somente na centésima vez, fui finalmente tocada por sua tenacidade. Tornei-me a Sra. Menezes, invejada por todos em Cidade Solmar. No dia do nosso casamento, dei a ele noventa e nove cupons de perdão. Combinamos que, enquanto esses cupons de perdão não fossem todos usados, eu permaneceria sempre ao seu lado. Em cinco anos de casamento, cada vez que ele saía para encontrar seu antigo amor, um cupom de perdão era usado. Quando ele usou o 97º cupom, ele de repente percebeu que eu havia mudado. Eu não chorava mais, nem implorava para que ele ficasse. Só quando ele perdia a cabeça por sua secretária, encantadora e ingênua, eu perguntava baixinho: — Se você vai ficar com ela, posso usar um cupom de perdão? O homem hesitou por um momento, e uma rara brandura surgiu em seu coração: — Tudo bem, de qualquer forma, só usei uns sessenta e poucos. Pode usar se quiser. Eu assenti com um murmúrio e o deixei ir. Ele não sabia que aquele era o 97º cupom de perdão que usava. Restavam apenas dois dos nossos cupons de perdão.

Elle avait tout pour briller : un talent rare, un avenir prometteur, une lumière que personne ne pouvait ignorer. Mais par amour, elle a tout sacrifié. Pour lui, elle s'est effacée. Pour lui, elle a renoncé à ses rêves. Pendant cinq ans, elle est devenue l'épouse silencieuse, discrète, transparente. Celle qui attend patiemment un regard, un geste, un mot tendre qui ne vient jamais. Il ne l'a jamais vraiment aimée. Elle n'était qu'un réconfort, un visage familier en attendant le retour de l'autre. Quand son ex-petite amie refait surface, il la rejette sans hésitation. « Divorçons. Tu n'as jamais été qu'un substitut. » Mais la douleur lui révèle l'horreur : les « vitamines » qu'il lui donnait chaque jour n'étaient que des pilules contraceptives. Il lui a volé bien plus que son temps. Il lui a volé son choix. Elle part sans un cri, sans une larme. Et des années plus tard, elle renaît. Brillante. Libre. Accomplie. Lui ? Il regrette. Il la cherche. Il veut la reconquérir. Mais comment rattraper celle qu'on a laissée partir… quand elle n'a plus aucune raison de revenir ?
