Baroness Goes On Strike

I was dumped because of my weight. My stepmother tried to comfort me, saying, "It's okay, it's okay. A little extra weight is good." I watched as my graceful sister took my place and married my fiancé. Meanwhile, I was sent abroad to be "fattened up like a pig." I barely escaped with my life and endured unimaginable hardships. Now, those who hurt me should, at the very least, face justice for their actions.

“ … Jadi, Deltha Lunar, pilihan untukmu adalah antara me-reject mate-mu lalu hidup normal kembali tak peduli apa yang akan kami perbuat pada mate-mu, atau kami menahan mate-mu sebagai tawanan pack dan membuangmu dari pack ini,” tutur Andin.Lunar tahu, dari kedua pilihan itu sama sekali tidak ada yang menguntungkannya. Apa kah ia salah jika ia menginginkan hidup bersama mate-nya? Lunar tak tahu mengapa garis hidupnya bisa sepelik ini. Berawal dari ia yang tak dianggap oleh ayah dan kakak angkatnya, lalu ia yang diberikan pilihan yang keduanya sama-sama berakhir dengan perpisahan keduanya.“Aku tidak akan menyalahkan takdir hanya karena jalan hidupku rumit. Semua butuh proses, permata tidak akan menjadi berharga jika ia tidak melewati proses pengasahan dalam hidupnya.” Setidaknya, begitulah yang selalu Lunar yakini.Ia percaya, selalu ada pelangi setelah hujan. Selalu ada warna setelah badai menghadang, dan selalu ada kebahagian yang di awali dengan kesedihan. Dirinya hanya harus bisa menerima apa yang sudah menjadi garis takdirnya dan tak banyak mengeluh akan hal itu.Life goes on. Hidup terus berjalan tak peduli bagaimana hidup mempermainkanmu. Yang bisa kau lakukan hanya menikmatinya sebisamu. Kau boleh lelah. Jika lelah, maka yang bisa kau lakukan adalah istirahat sejenak. Lalu setelah itu, bangkit lah dan mulai tata kembali hidupmu.

Wilayah kekuasaan Harbetor resmi dialihkan pada putra sulung raja yang berusia 45 tahun, Edmund Ainsteree. Meski disebut sudah tidak muda lagi, tata cara kepemimpinannya mampu menjunjung Harbetor pada puncak kemakmuran. Karena itu, Edmund kerap kali dipanggil Ksatria setengah abad, sesuai dengan usianya yang hampir separuh dari seratus. Meski dikenal sangat cerdas, membanggakan, dan penuh pesona kepemimpinan. Ada satu hal yang membuatnya kurang dianggap baik bagi mata para wanita. Edmund masih melajang hingga sekarang, bahkan tidak ada satu pun rumor mengenai gadis yang dia dekati. Namun, tepat saat malam peresmian kedatangannya hari itu, berita tidak bersumber mendadak mengguncang Harbetor. Berkat pertemuannya dengan seniman muda bernama Samantha Caley, putri sulung mendiang Baron Alexandru dengan Baroness Julia. Berita kencan buta tentang mereka ramai dibicarakan publik, hingga akhirnya sampai ke telinga sang raja. Samantha baru berusia 18 tahun, emosinya jelas memuncak karena dipasangkan dengan seorang pria tua yang usianya hampir sama dengan mendiang sang ayah. Hingga suatu hari, Edmund memberanikan diri untuk melamarnya—yang sudah jelas Samantha tolak mentah-mentah. Meski keluarganya tengah ditempatkan pada masa krisis sebab kepergian sang ayah telah mengguncang ekonomi keluarga, Samantha tetap tidak mau menerima bantuan dari pria itu terutama ketika membahas mengenai hubungan antara keduanya. Lain dengan penolakan mati-matian gadis itu, Edmund mungkin terlihat lebih santai, tapi perasaannya menegaskan seberapa keras ia berjuang, hanya demi mengejar cinta sejatinya seorang. Melalui perjuangan tersebut, apakah Samantha mau membuka hatinya perlahan demi Edmund?

“Grandfather, please don't marry me off to this waste of space. He is just a lowlife that is sick, carrying diseases around, and being gross!” Ava said, getting more and more enraged with each word coming from her mouth. “That's enough! Ava, stop that right now!” Mrs. Taylor said. “Don’t order your grandfather!” “If you insist on giving Ava to me, I would walk out of here now and never look back. A woman like her is not something that interests me.” Zane said, his voice steady as he met the old man's eyes, his words pissing Ava and her parents off.

She gave him her heart and he crushed it to pieces. If chasing love was a crime, she'd spend countless years in jail. Haley gave her whole to William Nash, sacrificing everything she had, with his happiness her only goal. His indifference never bothered her, until one night, he told her the coldest words. “Haley Nash, don't overstep your limits. I'll never have children with you. Don't forget how you plotted to marry me in the first place!” To him, all her action was a pretentious lie. Stuck in his past relationship with his Ex, he'd rather be with a woman who resembled his Ex than cherish his wife. His betrayal was the last straw. Haley let go, gathering the broken pieces of her heart. However, When she disappeared from his life, his once vibrant home, boasting of love, turned into a graveyard, and a deep scar he never knew existed opened up in his heart. Damnit! Did he mess up?

My husband asked me if bras were more comfortable without underwire, and I was happy that he had finally become more mature. The next day, his assistant snatched the parcel I received in the mail, saying that it had the wrong address. That night, I saw Samantha Davis post on her social media, with the caption, “My boyfriend bought this for me. Isn’t it pretty?” It was a selfie taken in a hotel mirror, and there was a beautifully decorated box containing a bra lying beside her. So, as it turned out, it was not that men became mature later in life, it was that you weren’t the one they were willing to become mature for. Naturally, I gave the post a like and took a screenshot before sending it to my husband. "What a waste. You could have gotten an 20% discount if you bought the whole set."
