Charles Calvin

Aku membuat janji pergi ke festival musik bersama sahabatku. Tapi kekasih kakakku mengunciku di toilet. "Anak gadis zaman sekarang nggak punya malu. Merasa nggak berdosa menggoda pacar orang lain!" "Aku akan memberimu pelajaran hari ini. Orang tuamu sendiri gagal mendidikmu, jadi biar kubantu mereka!" Dia tidak mendengarkan penjelasanku dan menyiramkan air pel toilet dari atas kepalaku. Dia menamparku di depan umum, melucuti pakaianku, dan menggunakan solder panas untuk menuliskan kata-kata "Simpanan Murahan" di tubuhku. Saat kakakku tiba, wajahku tidak dapat dikenali lagi karena parahnya siksaan mereka. "Calvin, tolong dengarkan penjelasanku. Sumpah, kukira dia cuma "adik ketemu besar", bukan adik kandungmu!"

"Did you think I’d just let you go?" Suzanne’s grip on her son tightened as Charles took a slow step forward, his smirk curling like smoke in the air. "I sent you the damn divorce papers, Charles. Sign them and leave." He chuckled. "Oh, I got them." Another step. "But I don’t sign away what’s mine." She backed up. "I am not yours. I stopped being yours the night you betrayed me." His jaw clenched. The silence stretched—thick, suffocating—before he lunged. Suzanne barely had time to gasp before his hands were on her, ripping their son from her arms. The boy hit the couch with a soft thud and let out a startled cry. "You son of a—!" She shoved at him, clawing, struggling, but he was stronger. His hands dug into her waist, yanking her against him, his breath hot and reeking of alcohol. "You’re mine, Suzanne," he growled, fingers digging into her skin. "And if I can’t have you—" his grip tightened, his lips brushing her ear, "no one will." Then—CRACK! Charles gone—ripped off her, sent flying across the room. Suzanne gasped, chest heaving, scrambling back just as her attacker crashed into a table. A voice, dark and furious, sliced through the chaos. "Touch her again, and I’ll kill you." Her heart stopped.

No dia em que eu deveria experimentar vestidos de noiva com Charles Jaspier, o líder da máfia que eu amei por sete longos anos, entrei na boutique segurando o exame de gravidez com o coração transbordando de esperança. No entanto, ouvi uma conversa que acabou com tudo. — Casar com a Ellis Olsen foi só uma medida temporária — Charles falou com a maior calma do mundo para o seu confidente mais próximo. — Meu irmão morreu num tiroteio e ela tá carregando o único herdeiro dos Jaspier. Sem um status oficial, nem ela e nem a criança sobreviveriam nessa família. — Todo mundo ia pisar neles — o outro homem comentou, enquanto um charuto repousava entre os dedos de Charles. — A Zoey Qandor não pode ter o título de esposa, mas eu posso dar todo o resto pra ela. Meu amor, meu dinheiro... Só que ela não pode nem sonhar com isso — ele continuou, com a voz gelada e carregada de uma resignação que me deu náuseas. Apertei o exame de gravidez com força, sentindo meu coração virar cinzas ali mesmo. Com a ajuda da minha melhor amiga, tratei de criar uma identidade nova — uma que garantisse que o Charles nunca mais me encontrasse — e simplesmente sumi do mapa, deixando o mundo dele para trás. "Se ele não podia dar uma família de verdade pra mim e pro meu filho, então esse amor, que era todo baseado em mentiras e obrigações, tinha que acabar de uma vez por todas."

On the day I was supposed to try on wedding dresses with Charles Jaspier, the mafia leader I had loved for seven years, I walked into the boutique carrying a pregnancy test report—my heart full of hope. Instead, I overheard a conversation that shattered everything. "Registering the marriage with Ellis Olsen was a temporary measure," he said calmly to his closest confidant. "My brother died in a shootout. She's carrying the Jaspier family's only heir. Without a legal status, neither she nor the child would survive in this family." "Everyone would bully them." A cigar rested between his fingers. His voice was cold, edged with resignation. "Zoey Qandor can't have a title—but I can give her everything else. My love. My money. This must never reach her ears." I clenched the pregnancy report, my heart turning to ash. With my best friend's help, I created a new identity—one that ensured Charles would never find me again—and disappeared from his world. If he could not give me and my child a complete family, then this love—built on responsibility and lies—was better cut cleanly, once and for all.

When my mom texted me, urging me to go home for a blind date, Charles had just finished with me. His warm breath brushed against the back of my ear, sending a tingling sensation straight to my heart. He wiped away the traces on my skin with gentle care, but when he spoke, his voice was chillingly indifferent. "Since Mrs. Shaw is pushing you, you should head back soon." I thought he was jealous, and a surge of sweetness filled my heart. I quickly grabbed his wrist, telling him my feelings. "Charles, I want to stay with you. I'm not going anywhere!" He froze for a moment, then let out a derisive laugh. One by one, he pried my fingers off. "You didn't actually think I was jealous, did you?" Tucking my damp, messy hair behind my ear, he remained as gentle as ever, but his words were almost cruel. "Rose is pure and innocent. I couldn't bring myself to touch her before marriage, so I used you to satisfy my needs. However, now, our engagement is set. She'll soon be my rightful wife. You're no longer needed."
