Claire Booth

On our wedding night, my husband didn't stay long enough to toast with champagne. He left me alone at the reception and retreated to the chapel. Because from the very beginning, this stoic, untouchable man had only ever loved my younger sister. For three years of my marriage, I poured myself into thawing a heart of stone, only to be met with glacial silence. "Claire," he said coldly, "I'd rather take vows of celibacy than ever love you." But when the truck came barreling toward me, the man who had resented me his entire life used his own body to shield mine. Just before I lost consciousness, I saw him gripping the paramedic's sleeve, blood staining his lips. "Don't tell that crazy woman who saved her… And don't let my family… make things difficult for her." Tears welled in my eyes. Only then did I realize I wasn't the only one at fault in this marriage. After coming back to life, I chose to join the United Nations Peacekeeping Forces and head straight to the front lines. If we were never meant to grow old together in this life, then let my final wish for him be this: A lifetime of peace, and an eternity of never crossing paths with me again.

Ketika suamiku, Rocco dari Keluarga Fauzian, menutup teleponku untuk ke-99 kalinya, aku menyeret tubuhku yang sudah berada di tahap akhir leukemia melangkah masuk ke kantor penasihat hukum keluarga. "Selamat siang, saya ingin mengajukan perceraian." Namun, sepuluh menit kemudian Rocco sudah menerima kabar itu dan menerobos masuk bersama keluargaku. Pemimpin keluarga itu baru masuk, lalu langsung menamparku. "Demi mengacaukan pesta kenaikan jabatan Sofia, kamu menyalahgunakan nomor komunikasi darurat? Otakmu taruh di mana?" Laporan diagnosis yang kugenggam, direbut paksa oleh ibuku. Dia melirikku lalu mencibir sambil tertawa sinis. "Pura-pura sakit untuk cari simpati, cuma supaya kami memperhatikanmu. Claire, dari kecil sampai besar, berapa banyak kebohongan yang sudah kamu buat?" Sofia menarik lengan Rocco sambil menahan tangis. "Maafkan aku, Kak Claire. Aku seharusnya nggak menerima kenaikan jabatan itu. Kumohon, jangan sakiti dirimu dan Rocco lagi!" Aku menyeka darah yang terus mengalir di sudut bibirku, lalu kembali menghadap pengacara. "Aku sudah nggak punya keluarga lagi. Demi tidak menunda proses kremasi jenazahku tiga hari lagi, tolong bantu selesaikan proses perceraian secepatnya."

Grant, the heir to the Bennett family, had been my protector for over a decade. He taught me how to fire my first shot and saved me from every attempt on my life. After someone slipped drugs into Grant's drink at the family gathering, he stumbled into my room, and his icy control shattered. His hands found my waist as he pulled me close, his lips brushing against my ear as he whispered my name. A single night of drugged passion left me pregnant with his child. When my twin sister, Claire, found out, she left a note and disappeared, heartbroken. After that, I was cast as the cold-hearted villain who drove her own sister away. Grant personally forced the contraceptive potion down my throat and exiled me to the lawless territories beyond our family's control. To make me atone, he abandoned me to fend for myself in that desolate land. I was eventually killed in the crossfire of a mob war. As I lay dying, my mind was flooded with memories of Grant. The troublemaker he always called me was finally gone. He must have been relieved. When I next opened my eyes, I had returned to the morning after that disastrous night. This time, without hesitation, I drank the contraceptive potion myself.

During spring break, my family's housekeeper's son, Ethan Shaw, steals my black card and takes the entire class on a luxury trip to Norkin. He books out an entire fireworks show to impress my girlfriend, Claire Sanders. Then, he treats everyone to first-class tickets for the cruise while basking in the spotlight. But when I discover he's using my card and confront him, he teams up with my girlfriend to twist the story. They accuse me of being jealous of him. Cornered on the deck, I'm about to pull out my phone to prove it when Ethan suddenly shoves me over the railing. I'm left hanging by one desperate hand. His voice is ice-cold. "Lucas is just picking a fight because he's after my money. I can't sleep soundly with him around." On Ethan's signal, his lackey crushes my fingers one by one until my grip fails. I fall into the open sea, ending as food for the fish. When I open my eyes, I find myself back on the day Ethan is booking the fireworks show. Watching him revel in the spotlight, I take out my phone and call the bank to cancel the card. This time, I want to see just how he plays the lavish big shot.

Rocco Falcone, who is the Falcone family's Don and my so-called husband, hangs up on me for what feels like the 99th time. Having been diagnosed with leukemia, I haul my ravaged body into the family lawyer's office. "I'm here to file for a divorce," I said. … When Rocco hears about it, he barges in with my family ten minutes later. The moment he enters, he slaps me. "Did you use the emergency line just to ruin Sofia's big night? Are you out of your mind?" Lily Marone, my mom, snatches the diagnosis right out of my hand and skims through it. She chuckles dismissively. "Did you fake being sick just to get attention? How many lies have you told since you were a kid, Claire?" Sofia Moretti holds Rocco's arm with tears in her eyes. "Forgive me, Claire. I shouldn't have taken the position. Please stop hurting yourself and Rocco." I wipe the blood from my mouth and turn back to the lawyer. "I have no family left. Please hurry with the divorce paperwork. I need it settled before my cremation in three days."

The seventh time Claire Fisher bailed on our marriage license appointment, I finally cut her out of my life—for good. From then on, if she was at a party, I wasn't. When she was scheduled to perform at our college's anniversary celebration, I made sure to leave early. The moment my company announced a collaboration with hers, I resigned without a second thought. Even on Christmas Eve, when she showed up at my parents' house with gifts, I slipped out with a half-hearted excuse about "visiting a friend." I blocked her number. Deleted her from my contacts. Burned every bridge and salted the earth behind me. No calls. No texts. No social media. I didn't reach out. She couldn't reach me. Simple as that. For the better part of my life, I was hopelessly in love with her—waiting on her, caring for her, putting her first in every way that mattered. I gave her all of me without ever holding back. But after the seventh time she left me sitting alone at the City Hall, something inside me broke. I was done. If that meant spending the rest of my life alone, so be it. Better that than sitting in an empty apartment, listening to the silence, holding on to hope for someone who never planned to show up.

No meu aniversário, um dos subordinados do meu marido se inclinou para perto dele e sussurrou em russo: — Sasha preparou uma surpresa para você esta noite. Meu marido sorriu para mim enquanto terminava de cortar meu bolo. Então, no mesmo idioma, respondeu: — Ela tem vários truques na cama. Vou vê-la mais tarde. — Só não deixe a Madame descobrir, ou receio que eu seja expulso. Todos ao redor riram e garantiram que manteriam segredo. Nenhum deles sabia que eu era fluente em vários idiomas desde criança. O que eles também não sabiam era que eu havia encontrado o celular escondido que ele mantinha na gaveta falsa, onde estavam salvos todos os vídeos imundos dele com Sasha. Eu não o confrontei. Em vez disso, contatei algumas conexões que ainda tinha em Vegas e pedi que preparassem uma nova identidade para mim. Em três dias, Claire Vega não existiria mais, e ele nunca mais me teria novamente.
