Bahan Oscar Sofa

On my birthday, I proposed a family trip to the northern grasslands. My younger sister, Clara Harrington, who was studying in the southern territory, decided to drive through the forest to meet up with us. But unexpectedly, she was attacked by Rogue wolves in the woods, and her body was never found. My parents, Oscar Harrington and Margaret Vale, placed all the blame on me for her death and cast me out of the family. Overwhelmed with guilt and sorrow, I left the pack to atone for my sins. I took on odd jobs to earn money to send home, all while searching for any trace of Clara. Three years later, I found myself in the southern territory and began working as a delivery runner for a forest cafe. One day, while delivering an order to Werewolf Academy, I saw my parents and Clara standing at the school gate. She said, "Dad, Mom, Adeline has been wandering for three years. Shouldn't we let her come home?" But my mother replied calmly, "She is too selfish. It's only right that she suffers a little. We can bring her back once she realizes her mistakes." My father nodded in agreement. "Let her wander for another year. We'll bring her home next year." I clutched my stomach, my face pale as I forced out a bitter laugh. Three years of exhaustion had left me gravely ill. My wolf was gone, and I only had three days left to live. I could't wait until next year for my father to come and take me home.

Di hari mencoba gaun pengantin, Levi sekali lagi menunda hari pernikahan kami. Alasannya adalah adik angkatnya baru saja putus cinta dengan pacarnya. "Neina baru saja putus, dia sedang butuh penghiburan. Pernikahan kita hanya akan membuatnya semakin sedih." Aku mengangguk setuju dan menanggalkan gaun pengantin itu dalam diam. Demi adik angkat yang dia besarkan sendiri itu, Levi sudah berulang kali menunda pernikahan kami. Pertama kali, adik angkatnya bertanya dengan air mata berlinang, "Kak, kalau kamu menikah dengannya, apa kamu nggak akan mau punya adik sepertiku lagi?" Hati Levi luluh. Dia bersumpah akan menunggu hingga adiknya lulus kuliah baru akan menikah. Kedua kalinya, saat sang adik sudah lulus kuliah. Dia kabur dari rumah dan meninggalkan sepucuk surat perpisahan. [Kak, aku nggak sanggup berpisah denganmu.] Levi berjanji, dia baru akan menikah setelah adiknya menemukan pasangan yang sesuai. Tahun demi tahun berlalu, penantianku menjadikanku bahan tertawaan di lingkaran pergaulan kami. Kali ini, aku tidak ingin menunggu lagi. Aku mengirimkan pesan singkat kepada Levi. [Ayo kita putus. Semoga kamu dan adik kecilmu itu hidup bahagia selamanya.]

I was reborn. Opening my eyes on the sofa, the television flickered before me, broadcasting another financial news segment about my husband, Jasper Brolin. The Alpha of the Moonblood pack, a man who had sat at the top of the billionaire list for years, was speaking with his usual cool authority. Broad-shouldered and sharp-featured, he carried an air of cold command that made him untouchable. Whenever he stepped into the public eye, the crowd surged with screams and breathless admiration. My marriage to him was the envy of our entire circle, and every woman wished to step into my shoes. As I watched the screen, memories of my tragic death in my last life came rushing back, sending a quiet ache through my chest. My wolf rumbled low in my chest. "So we're back. Now what?" "Break the bond," I whispered. "I'm leaving him." "He'll never agree to that." "That's why I need her help," I replied, thinking of the woman I had always disliked—Halle. Halle walked into the café, a smug smirk was plastered on her face. Having grown up alongside Jasper, she was regarded as his inner circle, and people never failed to give her the highest courtesy. I slid a mate-bond dissolution document across the table. "I need your help, Halle. And of course, there's something in it for you too." She glanced through the papers, suspicion flashing in her eyes. "Are you leaving him?" she asked. My voice was calm, "Maybe you're the one he really wants by his side." In my last life, I was the perfect Mrs. Brolin, envied by all, yet never the one he held closest. This time, I would take my unborn pup and leave quietly.

"I accepted everything, even your unborn child na walang ama tapos susuwayin mo ang utos ko? Akira gusto mo bang lumaki ng walang kinikilalang ama 'yang anak mo?" Sermon, yan ang palaging bungad ng stepmother ko sa tuwing pupunta ako dito sa bahay. Tumingin ako sa mga mukha nito, halata dito ang galit at inis. Napayuko lang ako dito sa sofa habang nakaupo. All my life I was a spoiled brat girl but in one night, in just one mistake nagbago lahat. Nakita ko ang pag hakbang nito palayo, ngunit bago pa man siya makaalis ay nagsalita muna ito. "You have no choice Akira, its either abort that child or marry Mr. Briar." "WHAT?" Sa sobrang gulat ay napasigaw ako at napatayo, napahinto naman si tita Belle. Lumingon ito sakin na parang nagtatanong kung bakit ako sumigaw. "A-anong si Mr. Briar?" "Yes, Mr. Reigh Briar. You know him right? Sila ang number 1 kalaban ng pamilya natin this coming election, so kung maikakasal ka sa kanya, you'll be staying there and be our spy." "Pero—" "No buts Akira." may diing sabi nito at tuluyan ng umalis. Si Reigh? Sa lahat ng lalaki si Reigh pa talaga? Why him? Kaya ko nga di pinaalam sa kanila kung sino ang ama ng batang nasa sinapupunan ko ay para lumayo sa kanya tapos ngayon siya ang papakasalan ko? PAPAKASALAN KO ANG EX KONG AMA NG DINADALA KO?

Ini tahun kesembilan aku dan Dandi menjalani apa yang kami sebut sebagai "Bulan Tanpa Status". Pewaris Keluarga Chandra itu percaya cara ini bisa membuat hubungan kami bertahan lebih lama. Selama satu bulan setelah hari jadi kami setiap tahun, dia bebas, dan kami tidak saling ikut campur dalam hidup masing-masing. Kalau salah satu dari kami menemukan seseorang yang lebih cocok, kami harus saling mendoakan yang terbaik. Kalau tidak, setelah sebulan, semuanya kembali seperti semula. Di sekelilingku, para pria dari keluarga itu menyemburkan sampanye dengan riuh. "Untuk satu tahun kebebasan lagi! Selamat untuk bos kita yang kembali jadi bujangan!" "Taruhan keluarga dibuka! Pilih kiri kalau kalian pikir mereka tetap akan bersama, pilih kanan kalau kalian yakin ini sudah berakhir!" Di balik kabut asap cerutu yang tipis, aku duduk di sudut sofa kulit, tidak terlibat, seolah-olah semua ini tidak ada hubungannya denganku. Tangan Dandi melingkar di pinggang Scarlett saat dia melewatiku, lalu berbisik pelan, "Jangan macam-macam. Kamu akan selalu jadi satu-satunya calon istriku." "Aku ini seperti layang-layang. Sejauh apa pun aku terbang, talinya tetap ada di tanganmu." Aku menekan telapak tangan yang dingin ke perutku yang mulai membulat, wajahku tanpa ekspresi. Dandi, untuk taruhan keluarga kali ini, aku memilih "berakhir". Aku akan menghilang sepenuhnya dari hidupmu. Tali layang-layang yang selama ini kamu genggam itu? Malam ini, akan aku putuskan sendiri.

Pada hari jadi pernikahan pertama kami, aku baru menyadari bahwa sekotak pengaman yang kubeli sebelum pernikahan sudah lama kedaluwarsa. Tidak akan ada yang percaya, suamiku yang seorang mafia, Alvaro Munandar, dan aku belum pernah berhubungan seks. Jadi, aku mengumpulkan keberanian untuk membeli satu set piyama seksi. Setelah tiga gelas wiski, begitu Alvaro mendorong pintu masuk, aku memeluknya erat-erat. “Sayang,” bisikku di telinganya. “Tidurin aku hari ini, aku menginginkanmu...” Tetapi Alvaro menepis tanganku dengan dingin dan kejam, seolah-olah sedang mengeluarkan pistol. “Raina, kamu pelacur ya?” “Melakukan hal-hal yang tidak tahu malu berulang kali. Jika kamu benar-benar kesepian, aku akan memesankan beberapa mainan agar kamu bisa bermain sepuasnya.” Wajahku langsung pucat dan aku membeku. Aku tidak mengerti kenapa seorang istri dianggap 'pelacur' ketika dia meminta belaian dari suaminya. Malam itu, aku meringkuk di sofa dan tak kuasa menahan diri untuk mengunggah sesuatu di media sosial. [Suamiku memiliki fungsi seksual normal, kenapa dia tidak menyentuhku setelah menikah?] Seseorang berkomentar, [Mungkin suamimu punya istri lain.] Komentar itu seperti pisau, menusukku hingga tersadar. Aku tiba-tiba menyadari, mungkin bukan karena aku kurang menarik secara seksual, melainkan karena dia memang bukan milikku. Saat aku menekan tombol hapus akun, aku juga memutuskan untuk pergi. Tetapi siapa sangka bahwa pria yang tidak pernah melirikku akan menjadi gila dan mencariku setelah aku menghilang. “Raina, setelah kamu pergi, aku tak pernah bisa ereksi lagi!”

Lily Thornton was the underprivileged student I'd sponsored for a full ten years. From middle school through college, I covered every penny of her tuition and living expenses. I treated her like my own little sister. When she was diagnosed with a rare disease, I even begged my husband, Graham Forsythe -- Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery -- to personally operate on her. But on the day of her college graduation ceremony. I went to her apartment early to surprise her. And found Graham pressing her into the sofa, tenderly kissing her slightly swollen belly. "Graham, if Serena finds out about our baby, do you think she'll cut off my medication?" Graham pulled her into his arms, his voice laced with that condescending patience of his. "Don't worry. Serena is the kind of woman who's so rational she's practically cold-blooded. She'd never understand the soul-deep connection we share -- two people saving each other." "But to protect my reputation as department chief, she'll fall in line." "Once I get that one-of-a-kind clinical trial slot for the new drug, I'll divorce her and give you and the baby a real home." I stood outside the door, staring at the freshly stamped Phase-I clinical trial authorization in my hand. I didn't push the door open. I didn't make a scene. I simply, with perfect calm, tore it to shreds and dropped the pieces into the trash can beside me. Graham Forsythe. You couldn't have imagined this in your wildest dreams. That clinical trial slot your entire hospital had pulled every string to secure. Its lead research scientist was none other than your wife. The one you mocked for being so rational she was cold-blooded.

"Nak, demi keluarga kita... kamu harus menikahi Tuan Arsen." "APA?! Menikah dengan Bos Papa?! Tidak mau! Papa, ini lelucon, kan?! Aku masih kuliah! Aku bahkan sudah punya pacar! Papa tidak bisa melakukan ini padaku!" Virly menolak mentah-mentah. Reaksi Virly sama sekali tidak menggoyahkan Arsen. Ia bangkit dari sofa, menjulang tinggi di atas keluarga yang sedang hancur itu. "Aku tidak peduli kau punya pacar atau masih kuliah. Kau punya satu hari untuk memutuskan. Menikah denganku, atau ayahmu masuk penjara dan semua asetmu akan kuserahkan ke bank. Aku hanya butuh ibu untuk kedua anakku." Ucap Arsen dingin dan tegas "Kau tak boleh seenaknya!" Virly berteriak kesal. "Pikirkan baik-baik. Waktu terus berjalan, Nona." Arsen melangkah Pergi. Virly yang berusia 22 Tahun, gadus yang ceria yang masih mendambakan kebebasan, mendadak harus berhadapan dengan takdir pahit yang mengancam keluarganya. Sang ayah, yang terlilit utang besar pada bosnya, Arsen yang berusia 30-an, seorang duda dingin beranak dua, menjadikan Virly sebagai jaminan. Di bawah ancaman penjara dan penyitaan seluruh aset keluarga, Virly terpaksa menerima pinangan sang duda. Ia harus segera menikah dan menjadi ibu bagi dua anak kecil, sekaligus menghadapi Arsen yang selalu bersikap dingin dan tidak peduli pada perasaannya. Mampukah Virly bertahan dalam pernikahan tanpa cinta ini? Dan bisakah ia, yang masih labil, menjadi ibu yang sempurna bagi dua anak yang asing baginya?
