Cheating Husband

Bagaimana orang-orang bisa saling mencintai? Aku terbiasa mencintai seseorang dalam diam, sampai tidak tahu bagaimana rasanya dicintai oleh seseorang. Sampai akhirnya dia datang, dengan gagah berani meminta kepada ayahku, dan bersedia menyebutkan namaku dalam ijab qobulnya, dengan sambil menjabat tangan ayahku. Permasalahannya, aku sama sekali belum mencintainya bahkan baru sedikit mengenalnya. Apakah aku bisa mencintainya? Apakah dia datang padaku karena adanya cinta dihatinya? Atau sekedar ingin menikah karena sudah waktunya? Mengapa dia memilihku? Sejauh ini, itu yang selalu kupikirkan.

Ketika sebuah kesalahpahaman merubah segalanya. Cinta satu malam, itulah yang dipikiran orang-orang sehingga seorang mahasiswi bernama Qaiyara terpaksa menikah dengan dosennya sendiri.

Caraline Emilia Wattson mengambil keputusan paling gila dalam hidupnya saat tiba-tiba meminta pria lumpuh yang bernama Jacob Aberald untuk menikahinya di saat pertemuan pertama mereka. Meski terdengar tak masuk akal, Jacob Aberald atau Deric—sapaan kecilnya, akhirnya setuju untuk menikahi Caraline dengan syarat Caraline akan membantu perusahaan milik ketiga kakaknya agar selamat dari jurang kebangkrutan. Begitu syarat itu dikabulkan, keesokan harinya, Calarine dan Deric melangsungkan pernikahan dan memulai kehidupan baru sebagai pasangan suami-istri. Apa sebenarnya tujuan dari Caraline sesungguhnya? Untuk apa wanita itu menikahi Deric yang tuna daksa jika ada seorang pria sempurna bernama Diego yang jelas-jelas mencintainya? "Apakah kau benar-benar mencintai pria tak sempurna sepertiku?” - Jacob Aberald "Ya, aku mencintai pria tak sempurna sepertimu dengan cintaku yang sempurna.” - Caraline Emilia Wattson

My company hosts an appreciation gala to thank long-time clients. I go to the company's cold storage to retrieve the batch of wine just flown in from overseas when a stream of comments suddenly appears before my eyes. "That was close! She almost caught Daisy covered in red wine and looking all seductive. Good thing Tristan reacted fast and hid her in the freezer." "Can Scarlett just leave already? Look how cold Daisy and Tristan are. They are shivering. What if they catch a cold?" I pause mid-step, my gaze landing on the freezer behind me. Red wine is dripping out, and a piece of fabric is caught in the door. On it, I see the motif I personally sew onto my fiancé's clothes. Just then, the comments appear again. "Tristan plays it cool, claiming he is all about platonic love and staying chaste for Daisy. What a touching romance!" I smirked coldly. The platonic act is fake. The truth is he's cheating on me. Without a word, I turn around and toss the clothes they leave on the floor into the trash. Then, I lock the cold storage door and call the boss, who is in the middle of giving a speech. I exclaim over the phone, "A thief broke into the company! I locked them in the cold storage. Please bring some men and come over quickly!"

Sharon Deleon, the campus belle, has secretly stuffed a folded piece of paper into my pencil case five minutes before the start of the postgraduate admission exam. A series of comments streak across my vision. "The paper is filled with answers to the exam questions! Sharon has already lodged a report to the teachers. The school proctor will be here soon. Once that paper is found in Cassandra's pencil case, her admission recommendation will be terminated immediately!" "Hmph! This is all that nerd's fault for standing in Sharon's way to success! The proctor is Sharon's uncle, after all! Cassandra's doomed today!" The next thing I know, the proctor strides into the classroom angrily. He makes a beeline to my seat right away. "Someone has reported you for cheating. Dump out the contents in your pencil case right now!" I just do what I'm told with a blank look. There are only a few pens in sight. The folded piece of paper, however, isn't there. Sharon widens her eyes in shock. "How could this be? But I'm very sure that I—" Before she can finish speaking, a folded piece of paper containing the answers falls out of her pocket. Everyone doesn't know that I'm capable of reflecting misfortune by nature. Whoever sabotages me will get a dose of their own medicine instead.

Claire Shaw, my wife of 27 years and I had already fallen out of love with each other. Having picked up on that fact, our children, Jason and Monica Bennett, started giving me advice. "Dad, you and Mom are still relatively young. You two deserve to continue pursuing the lives you want." "That's right, Dad. You can't just force a marriage to go on. We support you in getting a divorce." With Jason and Monica's support, Claire and I soon got divorced. Monica took it upon herself to introduce another woman to me. Soon, I began a new relationship. But when I was about to get married, Claire took me to court and accused me of cheating on her while we were still married. Jason and Monica showed up at the court trial as witnesses as well. They proved that I had indeed cheated on Claire in our marriage. I couldn't defend myself at all. In the end, I was forced to give up everything I owned. My new girlfriend, Linda Calcraft, and I were heavily targeted by the entire Internet. "Hey, old geezer! Just how shameless are you to look for a mistress when you're already dying?" "You're already old enough to become a grandfather, and yet you're still filing for a divorce? You and that mistress are better off together!" Some extremists strapped me and Linda to the bed. They dumped gasoline all over us before setting us on fire, leading to our deaths. When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day Jason and Monica try to convince me to get a divorce.

On the day I get back together with Leo Laycond, he uploads a photo of us on his social media account. I stare at the post for three long minutes until I notice a silver lock icon on the bottom right corner. It turns out that Leo has blocked Lisa Laycand, his younger adopted sister. That sister of his is always the person he cares about the most. I tell Leo calmly, "If you yearn for Lisa even more, I can always cancel the mating ceremony." Leo panics immediately. He deletes the restriction in front of the entire pack so that they can witness our reunion. Half an hour later, Lisa rushes into the training grounds in nothing but a thin dress. Then, she "collapses" in front of Leo. I watch as Leo scoops Lisa into his arms. It's an action that's very familiar to him, as though he's done it hundreds of times. Suddenly, I realize that the engagement with Leo bores me to no end.

Si Eilish Rivera ay isang mayaman na dalaga, nasa kanya na ang lahat, magandang mukha, sexy na katawan, mala porselanang kutis lahat na ng katangian na nanaisin ng isang babae ay nasa kanya na, ngunit dahil sa kahilingan ng kanyang mamita na humanap na ito ng magiging katuwang niya sa buhay bago ito mawala ay napilitan siyang sumali sa isang elite auction. Dito ay makikilala niya si Alejandro Vitale, isang bilyonaryo na isa sa isasalang sa auction, wala ito sa plano niya, wala siyang ideya na ang matalik niyang kaibigan na si Hendrix ang naglista sa kanya dahil sa kanilang lahat na magkakaibigan ay tanging ito na lamang ang piniling magpakalunod sa trabaho at pagpapayaman. Akala niya ay simpleng auction lang ang dadaluhan niya pero siya na pala ay kasali sa mga Husband for Sale at si Eilish ang babaeng makakabili sa kanya. Paano kung ang asawang napili mo ay hindi pala ordinaryong lalaki na pwede mong hiwalayan pagtapos ng isang taon? Paano kung sa bawat titigan at aksidenteng haplos ay unti-unting bumigay ang puso mong pilit mong prinoprotektahan?

Flynn Watson, the actual heir of the Watson family, reported me for cheating during the exams. As I stared at both copies of the test papers with perfect grades and the same answers, I found it difficult to explain what happened. Everyone took Flynn's side. Because of that, I was painted as a cheater, which resulted in my exile from the Watson family. The Watsons went as far as to get me blacklisted from all industries just so they could appease Flynn. I ended up on the streets as a homeless person, where I got tormented incessantly. In a daze, I got hit by a car. I still failed to understand why my test papers would show the same answers as Flynn's even when I was on death's door. When I open my eyes again, I've gotten reborn on the day of the exams. This time, I choose to not write anything on the exam papers at all. I'd like to see just how I can be branded as a cheater now that I'm not given any marks at all.
