Codename Anastasia Ch 40

" Do i scare you, Micaela." "Your majesty." I whimper, avoiding his gaze. I couldn't muster the courage to meet him in the eyes, not when his intimidating demeanour blocked every sense of reasoning. " mea bella mate ," the way he uttered those strange words, so soft, so delicate, like a sweet caress. Yet I couldn't bring myself to be swayed by his tactics. He wasn't just the king but a man betrothed to another, and I was merely a maid assigned to serve him. "What would Anastasia think if she walks in on our compromising position?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper. " I couldn’t give two sh*t what she thinks or feels." His tone was so calm yet frightening. " She means absolutely nothing to me." ♧♧♧ Micaela Whitlock was born and raised inside the Palace, having little experience with life beyond its gates. Despite the benefit of working at the palace, her life was anything but enjoyable. It has been 100 years since the beast overran the human world, eradicating the vast majority of people and enslaving the remainder. Unfortunately, her parents had been among the people who had been taken prisoner.

Durante o plantão noturno, recusei o pedido de aplicar soro no paciente que minha irmã de criação cuidava. Vi, com meus próprios olhos, um menino de sete anos morrer devido a uma reação alérgica causada pela medicação errada. Na vida passada, mal tinha terminado de aplicar o soro, quando familiares furiosos invadiram o posto de enfermagem e me espancaram até meu rosto ficar irreconhecível. Mas o soro era apenas glicose, não havia razão para acontecer algo assim. Com a consciência turva, ouvi alguém chamar a polícia. Achei que, finalmente, a salvação havia chegado. Jamais imaginei que seria meu próprio irmão, policial, quem me jogaria no chão. Meu amigo de infância, agora médico legista, apresentou o laudo da autópsia e me incriminou. Sem ter como me defender, acabei sendo espancada até a morte pelos familiares do menino, tomados pela fúria. Até o último suspiro, não entendi por que meu irmão querido e o amigo de infância agiram assim comigo. Quando abri os olhos novamente, estava de volta àquela noite.

結婚記念日の日、私は家事をしながら一冊のアルバムを見つけた。 どうやら私の夫は、毎年この時期に初恋の人と一緒に結婚写真を撮り続けていたらしい。 40歳から60歳まで、黒髪から白髪へ、20年間、一度も欠かさずに撮り続けていた。 写真の裏には夫の手書きの言葉も添えられていた。「永遠の愛」と。 どうせ私のことを愛していないのなら、もう彼のために洗濯や料理をする必要もない。 子供を育て、孫の世話までしてきた私の人生。 あっという間に過ぎてしまった半生だが、今からでも変えるのは遅くない。

"Benarkah anda adalah ayah kandung saya?" Lintang Prameswari terbelalak takjub memandang tak percaya pada Ki Dalang Narendra, sosok mempesona yang terlihat masih berusia sedikit diatasnya. Begitu dahsyatnya efek yang ditimbulkan oleh Mustika Panji Anom yang dimiliki oleh Ki Dalang Narendra. Lelaki tampan yang terlihat masih begitu muda di usianya yang memasuki 40 tahun itu. "Seharusnya kamu tidak mendekati bahaya yang sejak dulu mengintaimu, Nduk! Susah payah aku berusaha menjauhkanmu dari iblis itu. Cukup ibumu, belahan jiwaku yang menjadi korban. Jangan kamu! Karena kamulah pusat kehidupanku, Putriku!" Narendra menatap nanar sosok belia di hadapannya. "Jaga dan lindungi dia, Wage! Kupercayakan keselamatan jiwanya padamu!" Dengan tegas Wage menyanggupi titah guru spiritual sekaligus penyelamat hidupnya itu. "Apapun akan kulakukan untuk memilikimu seutuhnya! Walaupun harus ada pertumpahan darah untuk menyingkirkan semua penghalangku!" Tekad Wulansari seraya memandang wajah suaminya dengan tatapan memuja. "Aku tidak dapat berhenti mencintaimu, Lintang! Tetapi, akupun tak dapat memaksakan perasaanmu padaku. Karena aku sadar akan keadaanku. Cukuplah bagiku untuk selalu menjagamu, selalu berada di dekatmu!" "Kamu adalah malaikat penjagaku. Aku sangat mengasihimu, tapi ada dendam kesumat yang harus aku balaskan demi nyawa ibuku. Demi kebahagiaan yang terenggut paksa dari kehidupanku! Aku tidak bisa menjanjikan apapun padamu! Maafkan aku!" "Maafkan putrimu, Ayah! Aku sengaja datang untuk menuntut balas!"

“What do you think you’re doing? Let me go!” I hissed in fear. Someone might see us like this. “Happily married? I don’t think that’s the case,” he said instead of releasing me. His voice carried anger now. “I’m a married woman!” My voice trembled with fear and nervousness as I struggled, but it was useless. He easily caught both of my hands in one of his. “Married, yes. But not happily,” he said, not caring about my desperate pulling. “Please… let me go. Someone will see us,” I pleaded in a low, shaking voice. “You have beautiful eyes,” he said suddenly, his voice deep and strange, making my pulse quicken. Marceline never imagined she would experiment with betrayal. But after seeing her husband tangled in the arms of her closest friend, she let herself taste what it felt like to sin. What began as one night of reckless desire soon turned into many nights of fiery passion and dangerous obsession—an affair she could not escape. Yet even while indulging in forbidden pleasure, Marceline swore never to grant her husband what he wanted. Divorce. Philip would never be free. Anastasia would never have the happiness of standing by his side. If they wanted to play with her heart, she would play with their lives. In this game of marriage, passion, and betrayal...only she decides who wins.

Setelah suamiku meninggal karena kecelakaan, aku mengelola restoran kecil untuk membesarkan anakku. Sehari sebelum pernikahan anakku, aku tiba-tiba menang lotre senilai 160 miliar. Aku merasa sangat senang. Aku berencana menjual restoranku dan memulai kehidupan pensiunku. Siapa sangka, saat aku menelepon putraku untuk memberitahunya rencanaku, calon menantu yang selalu bersikap sopan tiba-tiba menjadi galak. "Kamu harap kami menghidupimu ya? Kami baru kerja dua tahun. Kami nggak punya uang untukmu!" Calon menantuku juga mengancam putraku, "Kalau kamu berani memberi uang kita pada ibumu, aku bakal batalkan pernikahan ini!" Putraku yang marah pun bertengkar dengan pacarnya. Kemudian, dia menghiburku, "Kamu sudah bekerja keras selama bertahun-tahun. Sudah waktunya istirahat. Aku yang akan menghidupimu." Aku merasa sangat lega. Aku pun berniat mentransfer 40 miliar kepada putraku supaya dia bisa berbisnis. Keesokan hari, aku malah mendapat panggilan yang memberitahuku bahwa putraku mengalami kecelakaan. Butuh 1 miliar untuk menyelamatkan nyawanya. Aku langsung mentransfer uang itu, tetapi putraku tidak berada di rumah sakit. Saking paniknya, aku pergi ke kota tempat putraku tinggal dengan menerjang badai. Ketika menemukan putraku, ternyata dia sedang mengadakan acara pernikahan di hotel. Putraku berlutut kepada cinta pertama suamiku dan memanggilnya ibu saat bersulang. Mengejutkannya, yang duduk di sampingnya adalah suamiku yang meninggal sepuluh tahun lalu!

After I graduated, I kept hitting walls while job hunting, but my boyfriend landed a position at a big company with ease. My boyfriend of two years voluntarily gave me his salary to comfort me. When I finally found a job, he worried about my long commute and bought me a car. All my friends envied me for having such a thoughtful boyfriend. In order to buy our first house, I secretly transferred my own salary into his account as well. A year later, we decided to get married. He held my hand and said excitedly, “I know you don’t have much saved. I don’t want a single cent from you. All I want is your whole heart.” I was deeply moved by how considerate he was. However, on the day of our engagement, he pulled out photos of me with more than 40 different men and accused me of cheating. I stared at them. I had never even seen these people before. Then, he showed me his card’s transaction history, filled with charges from a place called Sunshine Club. “I trusted you with my card, and you used my money to fool around! I’m not marrying you. Give me back my car and the 800,000 dollars you’ve burned through.” I calmly took out the card he had given me before and sneered, “Sure. Let’s settle the accounts properly.” The moment my attorney revealed the true financial statements, he was completely stunned.
