Background Aesthetic Hitam

Suamiku, Vincent Cornela adalah seorang bos mafia, dia diserang dalam sebuah transaksi. Begitu bangun, dia ingat semua orang, kecuali diriku. Di depan anak buahnya, dia mengumumkan bahwa Angela adalah nyonya yang baru dan memberinya posisi sebagai ahli mekanik presisi. Namun, tanpa sengaja aku mendengar percakapan mesra mereka di gudang senjata, “Kamu meminjamkan identitas nyonya padaku selama tujuh hari. Selama tujuh hari itu, aku boleh melakukan apa saja pada tubuhmu, ‘kan? “Tentu saja! Aku pura-pura amnesia hanya untuk membuatmu senang.” Aku bersembunyi di balik bayangan, kukuku menusuk telapak tangan. Aku memilih untuk tak membongkar kebohongannya. Keesokan harinya di pertemuan keluarga, Vincent merenggut paksa cincin batu hitam dari jariku. Dia membentak, menyatakan bahwa Angela adalah nyonya satu-satunya. Lalu mengusirku dari Napol dan menuntutku menyerahkan semua gambar desain senjata. Semua anak buahnya menatapku, menunggu perlawananku. Namun, aku diam saja. Detik itu juga, aku mengajukan pengunduran diri dan gugatan cerai. Vincent tak tahu bahwa hanya aku yang paham tentang teknologi perakitan senjata model baru itu dan batas waktu pengirimannya hanya tersisa tujuh hari. Tujuh hari kemudian, saat pengiriman barangnya bermasalah dan posisi keluarganya terancam hancur, aku sudah menghilang sepenuhnya. Saat kami bertemu lagi, Vincent dengan panik mencengkeram tanganku dan bertanya, “Valen, kamu ke mana saja? Kok kamu meninggalkanku?” Aku berpura-pura bingung dan bertanya, “Maaf tuan, kamu siapa? Kita kenal?”

The very first thing I do after I come back to life is find a pig and get married to it. In my past life, I was on the brink of getting engaged to my lover of ten years, Anthony Warner, who was a regimental colonel. In order to celebrate my engagement, Hannah Larson, my cousin, gave me a bracelet, and since it was a thoughtful gift from her, I wore it all the time. Yet, on our engagement day, Anthony didn't just call off our engagement, but he also berated me, calling me a tramp and a homewrecker who destroyed his relationship with Hannah. I was completely at a loss and tried to defend myself, but Hannah suddenly stepped forward and burst out crying. "I know my family and educational background surpass yours, but you can't just ruin my relationship with Anthony out of jealousy, Natalie! Anthony and I have already made a lifelong commitment to each other, so please just let it go!" Anthony turned and led Hannah away. They then got engaged shortly afterward. I was left standing there, becoming the subject of gossip from my relatives. They called me a shameless home-wrecker, and their scorn extended to my parents, who were shamed for raising such a child. They eventually took their own lives from all the rumors, and I couldn't bear the pain of losing them, so I ended myself, too. I suddenly open my eyes and find myself returning to the day Hannah presents me with the bracelet.
