Chat Awal Kenalan

On the day of my ninth wedding attempt, my fiancé, Lucas Yearwood, leaves me jilted again. This time, I follow him. I see him holding his adoptive sister's hand as they walk into the obstetrics department. "Lucas, I dreamed that we're having a boy—he's definitely going to be as handsome as you." Watching the two of them laugh and chat like that, I feel my blood freeze. After I chased Lucas for seven years, I got a chance to use a debt of gratitude to force a marriage contract out of him. I backed him into a corner to make him marry me. Everyone thinks I can't survive without him. But this time, I hand the marriage contract back and leave him without looking back. On my wedding day, he calls me. "Viv! Where are you right now?" I'm in the shower. My new husband picks up the call for me. "Do you have business with my wife?" Later, I hear Lucas turned all of Riverville upside down, digging through every trash can to find our marriage contract.

Jessie watched Justice North from the far corner of the room and bit her lip. She really wanted to work up the nerve to approach him. He’d been on the news often but he appeared even taller and better-looking in person. Not too many people intimidated her but the man who had been appointed the leader of the New Species Organization by his own people was one of those rare few. She respected strength and courage, something he seemed to have in abundance. She debated the wisdom of having a conversation with him. Justice gave orders to her bosses and held the power to change some of the task-force policies that she didn’t agree with. The chance of finding another opportunity to have a chat with him was slim to none. She wasn’t allowed to attend briefings her team leader held with the tall Species leader. Her opinion was irrelevant to him but the issues were important. She hesitated, considering the ramifications. Tim Oberto would haul her into his office if he found out she’d gone over his head. He’d be his normal loud self and tear her to verbal shreds.

To save the three most important men in my life, I made a deal with the Moon Goddess. Trade my life for theirs. If I could make any one of them truly love me within five years, I'd get to live. But on the final day of the countdown, all three still had negative feelings toward me. According to the rules, I'd failed. My life was about to be erased. "Moon Goddess, could I send one last message? One final try?" Maybe out of pity, she granted me this last attempt. This message was my final shot. I hit the voice button in our group chat, fighting to keep my voice steady. "Could you guys love me just a little? I'm really going to die." After a moment of silence came their merciless laughter. "You'll do anything to compete with Lidia for attention, won't you?" "Cut the lies. This just makes us hate you more." "If you're so desperate to die, then just do it already." Mission failed. I gave them exactly what they wanted. But when I was about to die, they all freaked out.

Pacarku adalah pewaris di lingkatan elite ibu kota, kekayaannya bernilai ratusan triliun. Untuk mengujiku, dia tidak pernah membelikanku hadiah apa pun selama tujuh tahun bersama, bahkan tidak pernah mengeluarkan sepeser pun untukku. Sekadar mampir ke minimarket membeli alat kontrasepsi saja, dia tetap menghitung dan membaginya setengah-setengah denganku. Kemudian, ibuku sakit keras. Aku meminjam ke semua kerabat dan kenalan, tinggal kurang empat juta lagi agar biaya operasi bisa terpenuhi. Namun, tidak peduli bagaimana aku memohon, pacarku tetap tidak mau meminjamkan uang itu. Aku mengurus pemakaman ibuku sendirian. Saat pulang ke rumah dan membereskan barang-barang, aku tanpa sengaja menemukan daftar hadiah yang dia belikan untuk adik perempuan tetangganya. Vila pegunungan pribadi, tas-tas mewah, perhiasan bernilai ratusan juta rupiah. Di sana juga ada potongan percakapan dia dengan teman-temannya. "Kak Arka, katanya Svara sampai berlutut hanya untuk meminjam empat juta darimu, itu benar?" Arka terkekeh dingin, suaranya terdengar santai dan meremehkan, "Apa yang Dinda bilang memang benar. Demi empat juta saja dia sampai berlutut ke sana kemari, kalau bukan perempuan matre, lalu apa?" "Baru tujuh tahun bersama, tapi dia sudah nggak sabar ingin mengeruk uang dariku." Baru saat itu aku sadar, ujian tujuh tahun itu hanyalah akibat hasutan dari adik tetangganya. Tidak masalah. Karena sejak ibuku meninggal, aku sudah memutuskan untuk meninggalkan dia.

Due to the change in my work location, I'd already informed Paul Miller, my part-time helper, to look for a job elsewhere three months ago. Back then, Paul had agreed to do so immediately. But when I'm about to move out of my old home, he made an absurd request to me. "I've spent so many years working for you to the bone. According to this industry's rules, you have to take care of me for the rest of my life. But if you refuse to do that, you can pay me a pension of ten thousand dollars every month." I'm stunned, to say the least. Did I hire a part-time helper, or did I find myself a financial burden instead? I turn Paul down immediately, so he decides to take a step back. "If you don't want to pay me, then give me this house of yours. I can't just leave without anything, right? It'll just show how petty of an employer you are. If not, I'll humiliate you in the group chat!" Fury floods my senses immediately. Fine. Let's see who will get humiliated here!

My husband, Fabian Hunt, is a neurologist. To spend the rest of his life with his colleague, Yelena Walker, he's been working day and night in the lab for the last three months. Finally, he succeeds in developing an experimental drug that can erase memories. I happen to see his tablet one day. He forgets to log out of his account, so I go through his chat history. Yelena: "Fabe, when can we finally be together without hiding?" Fabian: "Darling, just wait a little longer. Once I switch Anya's vitamin pills for the experimental drug, she'll lose her memory. After that, she'll ask for a divorce herself, and I won't have to take any blame." In an instant, I feel a chill run down my spine. So, he's willing to erase my memories of our time together just to get me to leave him. Since that's the case, I'll give the adulterous pair what they want. But when I start to forget one anniversary after another, Fabian asks me in a panic, "Anya, how can you forget everything about me?"
