Charlie Puth Scar

“No solo eres humana, sino también débil y frágil, tan diferente a mi tipo”, gritó mientras la apretaba contra la pared. Su lobo aullaba dentro de él, pero lo ignoró por completo y la miró directamente a los ojos, donde se reflejaban el miedo y el dolor. “Nunca te aceptaré como mi compañera, no porque seas humana, sino porque no eres en absoluto mi tipo. Amo a otra persona, y ella será mi compañera”, escupió esas palabras con una rabia tan intensa que hizo que las rodillas de la joven temblaran de miedo. El alfa Eric había odiado y rechazado a su compañera desde el mismo día en que puso los ojos en ella. Haría cualquier cosa por sacarla de su vida… hasta que todo cambió la noche en que la encontró en un club BDSM, donde tuvo que disfrazarse con una máscara.

Setelah menjemput anak, suamiku pergi ke hotel bersama sekretarisnya untuk membahas bisnis. Kebetulan, ada yang memotretnya dan mengunggahnya ke internet hingga menjadi trending topic. Aku buru-buru menelepon, tetapi suamiku malah mengakhiri panggilan dengan tidak sabar, "Kalau bukan ketemu klien di hotel, mau ketemu di mana? Di rumah? Jangan bersikap nggak masuk akal!" Aku segera mengeluarkan uang untuk menekan berita itu. Dua jam kemudian, aku malah mendapat panggilan darurat. Ketika tiba, jasad putraku sudah dingin. Tangannya memegang kartu karyawan sekretaris suamiku. Aku menangis hingga sekujur tubuhku bergetar. Nomorku diblokir Charlie, jadi tidak bisa dihubungi. Setelah mengurus prosedur di rumah sakit, Charlie akhirnya meneleponku. Suaranya dipenuhi amarah. "Kamu bawa anak kita pergi? Kenapa nggak mengabariku? Kami semua menunggunya mengambil kontrak! Cepat bawa dia kemari!" Selesai mengatakan itu, Charlie mengakhiri panggilan dan memblokirku lagi. Aku terkekeh-kekeh melihat pesan yang kukirim tidak bisa masuk. Aku bisa memberimu klien, juga bisa menghancurkan masa depanmu!

Sa loob ng walong taon, buong pusong ginampanan ni Isabelle Reyes-Trinidad ang pagiging isang perpektong ina at asawa. Tahimik siyang sumuporta kay Lucas—sa kanyang negosyo, sa kanyang reputasyon, at sa kanyang ambisyon. Nanahimik siya sa likod ng camera, sa mga board meeting na hindi siya inanyayahan, at sa mga sandaling kailangan niya ng karamay pero wala ni isang halik o salitang ginhawa ang kanyang nakuha. Ang mas masakit? Wala siyang lugar sa sariling tahanan. Hindi lang si Lucas ang may paboritong kasama. "Mas gusto ko si Tita Karina kaysa kay Mommy!"—sambit ng anak nilang si Marcus habang nakangiti si Lucas, tila sang-ayon. Ginawa na ni Isabelle ang lahat para mapanatiling buo ang kanilang pamilya. Pero imbes na pagmamahal at respeto, ang gantimpala niya’y pagtataksil at pangungutya. Habang binubura siya mula sa buhay ng asawa’t anak, si Karina Sison—ang ex ng kanyang asawa—ang inilalagay sa pedestal. Ginawang presidente. Ginawang reyna. Hanggang sa dumating ang gabing iyon. Ang gabing tuluyan siyang nagising sa katotohanan—na minsan, kahit gaano mo kamahal, hindi mo na kayang manatili sa isang lugar na matagal ka nang hindi pinipiling mahalin pabalik. Pagod na siyang umasa. Pagod na siyang maging tanong sa pamilyang matagal nang may sagot—at hindi siya iyon. Kaya handa na siyang magpalaya. Handa na siyang iwan ang tahanang dati niyang ipinaglaban, sa piling ng mga taong mas masaya nang wala siya. Ngunit nang sa wakas ay iniabot na niya ang divorce papers sa kanyang asawa… Hindi galit ang sumalubong sa kanya. Hindi rin pakiusap. Kundi isang malamig na titig lang. Isang mapanganib na ngiti. At ang mga salitang… “You’re not going anywhere, Isabelle.”

Who would have thought that her strict and disciplinarian father is part of a criminal organization? The tables have now turned.

Instead of killing her, he offered to make her his doll. Someone he can dress up to flaunt, display, and play with. After all, he needs a wife to earn the respect of the other mafia boss. Without knowing how messy it could be, she went straight ahead and enjoyed the privileges of being the billionaire's doll. Pero doon lang ba nakabatay ang halaga niya? Sa karangyaan na kayang ipalasap ng binata? Will she remain cherished? Or will the billionaire throw her away when he's finished with her? Is that all she'll ever be? His doll?
