Crimson Karma

Demi menegosiasikan sebuah proyek besar, istriku melakukan perjalanan bisnis selama setengah tahun. Pada hari di mana dia kembali, istriku muncul di hadapanku sambil bergandengan tangan dengan klien utama kami. Ironisnya lagi, bayi dalam kandungan istriku sudah berusia tiga bulan. Klien utama itu, dengan perut buncitnya, melemparkan sebuah kontrak ke arahku. "Pak Edwin, demi proyek ini, istrimu sudah banyak berkorban." "Kalau bukan karena menghormati Melissa, aku nggak akan mau bekerja sama dengan perusahaan kecil seperti punyamu ini!" Istriku menyentuh perutnya yang membuncit itu dan terlihat bangga. "Kontrak ini hasil negosiasiku. Ada satu syarat kalau kamu mau menandatanganinya, kita cerai!" Aku mengambil kontrak itu dan langsung merobeknya menjadi beberapa bagian. "Oke, kita akhiri pernikahan ini. Tapi, aku nggak akan menandatangani kontrak kotor ini!"

Have you seen anyone die in front of you? No? Well, I have, more times than I can count. I seem to have a morbid attraction to . Maybe it's like a superpower or maybe it’s a curse. Particularly the Crimson curse, as I like to call it. You would think that doesn't affect me anymore. You are right to think that because that is what I had thought until a week ago. I guess seeing your parents get murdered in front of your eyes and seeing their blood and life slowly drain out of their body isn't the same as seeing your neighbour die from a heart attack when you were 9.One more thing you should know about me is that I can make you sleep with one touch. My parents both were doctors and put their abilities to best use. My father could heal everyone other than himself and my mother like myself could drop a person to sleep with just one stroke of the hand.Now I am off to Aliam academy for mastering my supernatural ability, apparently for which my mother enrolled me before dyeing. Well, looking at the bright side, there is one boy with violet-blue eyes and curly black hair and I am falling head over heels for him.

Saat suamiku sedang ikut acara berkemah dari kantor, asisten perempuannya tiba-tiba mengunggah sebuah postingan: "Pembagian tenda lewat undian, siapa sangka aku malah setenda dengan bosku yang tampan!" Dalam foto itu, dia sedang berswafoto menghadap kamera, sementara di belakangnya ada seorang pria yang sedang melepas bajunya— dan itu adalah suamiku. Ada yang berkomentar: "Hati-hati ya, cowok dan cewek berduaan di satu tenda, bisa berbahaya ...." Asisten itu langsung membalas dengan emoji tertawa jahil sambil menulis: "Memang aku suka yang menantang." Aku sempat memberikan 'like', tetapi tidak lama kemudian, postingan itu dihapus. Tak lama, suamiku menelepon lewat panggilan video. Di depan asisten perempuan yang sedang menangis dan beberapa rekan kerja lainnya, dia langsung marah padaku: "Kamu kok suka lebay sih? Ini 'kan cuma permainan sederhana, nggak bisa santai saja?" Melihat dia memeluk asisten itu sambil menenangkannya dengan lembut, aku pun menutup telepon tanpa berkata apa-apa lagi. Ini sudah tahun ke-10 aku mencintai Kemal Sentanu. Namun, saat ini juga, aku memutuskan untuk melepaskannya.

What the fuck have you been doing?” My voice isn’t calmed down enough but I restrain myself from punching a wall. I wasn’t young and stupid but these rash reactions were making it seem as though I was. Tears welled in her eyes and I silently cursed myself. My bride. Just days before our wedding, I am screaming at her. Is this a product of the Binding? Making me a control freak? I came to her room for alone time with her, not to fight with her. I think she is going to give a meek answer to my question but instead she wipes her tears with the back of her hand and glares at me. “So you can fuck and feed from a Registry whore an hour before we go to the Binding ceremony, but I am expected to be loyal to you? You saw me watch that night. Did I yell at you?” —————————————————————— Every 25 years, a human from one of the five elite dynasties must marry into one of the five vampire houses to keep the peace of the Accord, a treaty between the ten families.

Preserving the peace and producing a Crimsonborn is her duty, but she was groomed for society, not submission. Her immortal husband to be is not only the vampire king, Nathaniel Blackwell, but a calculating man who doesn’t want or need a wife. Or so he claims.
