Dea Anugrah

At the end of the day, my colleague, Melody Christie, came to find me. She wanted me to cover her night shift. I turned her down because I had commitments after work. That night, she was caught abandoning her shift and she got fired. Melody blamed me for it. Just when I was almost going into labor, she pushed me down the stairs. "Do you know how hard I worked to get this job? If it was not for you, I wouldn't have been fired! If I'm going down, I'm taking you down with me!" I died, and my baby did not survive either. When I opened my eyes once more, I was back to the same day when Melody asked me to cover her shift. Only this time, I knew the truth. Turns out, she had left her shift for a rendezvous with my husband.

For stumbling upon a purge, I was taken by the city’s most dangerous don, Lucca of the Rossi family. He said it was the only way I’d survive. So he kept me in his mansion, taught me how to shoot, and drilled me in the rules of the underground world. He would stroke my hair and call me his innocent lily. Everyone knew I was his woman. Until one day, he handed me over to the enemy to secure an alliance with the Balsamo family. That was when I realized I was never his lover, just the sharpest blade in his hand. I buried all my feelings, faked my death, and disappeared. Years later, we met again at a casino. He looked at me in a backless gown, the rose tattoo on my back on full display. “Eliana, I once loved that purity of yours. Look at you now—tempting, yet cheap.” I smiled lightly, brushing his hand away. “Can’t help it, Don Rossi. The owner of this place just likes me this way.”

If I attempt to end my life, Carl retrieves the bones of a relative from the cemetery and incinerates them right in front of me, bellowing with bloodshot eyes, "You're not allowed to die unless I allow you to, Aria!" I immediately cease all resistance after that. Carl's heart was pierced by a silver-tipped arrow during his escape years ago.

El día que Olivia Muñoz y Adrián Vargas cumplían cinco años de casados, Paulina Castillo regresó al país. Esa misma noche,Olivia descubrió a su esposo en el baño, entregado a sí mismo mientras gemía el nombre de su exnovia. Así que esa era la razón por la que Adrián no la había tocado en cinco años de matrimonio. —Pobre Pau, regresó sola y la está pasando mal —se justificó él—, solo la estoy ayudando como amigo. —Entiendo. —Le prometí a Pau que la acompañaría a la playa por su cumpleaños —insistió en otra ocasión—, solo estoy cumpliendo una vieja promesa. —Está bien. —Para esta cena necesito una acompañante que esté a la altura, y Pau es más adecuada que tú. —Ajá, ve. Cuando ella dejó de enojarse, de llorar y de hacer dramas, a él le pareció extraño y le preguntó: —¿Por qué no te enojas? Por supuesto que ya no se enojaba, porque ella también estaba a punto de irse. Harta de un matrimonio estancado y sin vida, había mejorado su idioma en secreto, aprobado sus exámenes y enviado solicitudes para estudiar en el extranjero. El día que le aprobaron la visa, le aventó los papeles del divorcio. —No seas ridícula —se burló Adrián—, si me dejas, ¿cómo vas a sobrevivir? Dio media vuelta, se compró un boleto de avión y se fue, cortando toda comunicación. La siguiente vez que él supo de ella fue por un video que se hizo viral en redes: llevaba un vestido rojo espectacular y bailaba apasionadamente en el extranjero... Adrián se puso furioso. —Aunque te vayas al fin del mundo, ¡te voy a traer de vuelta!
