Dead Heat Band

In my first life, I was a fool. I was the perfect wife to a man who never looked at me, the loyal daughter to parents who sold me out, and the kind sister to a sibling who stole my future. I lived for them, suffered for them, and eventually, I died because of them, sent to my grave with a smile while they told me to be grateful. But death didn’t take. I woke up back in the past, right before they ruined me.. This time, the perfect person they used to walk all over is gone.. I’m done being nice. I’m here for one thing: to watch them lose everything.. My first move? Ending the marriage to the man who treated me like a ghost. I placed the divorce papers in front of Elias, expecting him to sign them with his usual cold indifference. After all, he’d spent years refusing my touch. Instead, the man who once despised me pinned me to the desk, his eyes burning with a dark, terrifying hunger I’d never seen before. He didn’t sign the papers. He ripped them to shreds with his bare hands. “You spent years begging for my love,” Elias growled, his grip bruising my waist. “Now that I’ve finally decided to give it to you, you think I’m going to let you leave? Over my dead body.”

When I'm paying the pension for my jobless wife, Lilith Ingram, I accidentally find out that she's had a job this whole time. She's paid a salary of two thousand dollars, which is wired into her personal bank account. Every month, the money will be transferred elsewhere, leaving her without a single cent. I've never seen the money before. Back when our daughter, Maisy Ingram, was severely ill, we were 200 dollars short to pay for her hospital bills. I was so poor that I had to sell my blood and beg everyone around me just to get them to lend me money. But during that time, Lilith never thought of sharing the burden with me. She merely comforted me with empty words before transferring two thousand dollars to her first love, Hayden Grant, the next day. Our marriage of 30 years is reduced to nothing but a laughingstock. I place the divorce agreement that I've printed out in front of Lilith. It's a silent confrontation between us. "Must you really resort to this method?" Lilith snaps impatiently. "It's just two thousand dollars! You have an annual salary of 200 thousand dollars! Why care so much about chum change?" Even Maisy takes her side by calling me a petty, stingy geezer. "Everyone has an unattainable first love when they're still young! You should be grateful that Hayden has been holding back his urges without crossing the line for so many years!" I feel as though I got struck by lightning at that moment. It's then that I belatedly realize I'm the only outsider in this family. "Getting a divorce is fine by me. Hayden's getting on with the years. I just want to take care of him and send him off when his time eventually arrives." Maisy adapts a righteous tone. "As compensation for me, I get the house, the car, and the savings. You're leaving this marriage without a single cent under your name."

After being abroad for half a year, I went back home to see my fiancee. However, I was stopped at a parking lot by a random man yelling at me. I tried to shrug him off, but he arrogantly retorted, “Don’t you know who I am? Vanessa Whitecastle is my wife. If you’re smart, you’ll do what I say.” I stood in place and looked at him. Then, I made a phone call, “Are you seeing another man, Vanessa?”

My sister-in-law, Hannah Martinez, was eight months pregnant when someone shoved her to the ground. Due to the heavy bleeding, she was rushed to the hospital. I happened to drive past, but I rolled up my window and pretended I saw nothing, pressing down on the gas pedal. In my previous life, I had immediately taken Hannah to the hospital when I saw her pass out from the blood loss. However, the situation was critical. After the severe bleeding, she developed an amniotic fluid embolism. My wife, Lauren Martinez, was the best obstetrician in the city. I called her, begging her to hurry to the hospital. Yet, she thought I was throwing a tantrum out of jealousy because she was having dinner with her first love, Isaac Poole, and his family. She believed I was using Hannah's emergency to force her to come back. By the time her family finally arrived, Hannah had already died from the failed treatment of the amniotic fluid embolism. Her entire family blamed me for Hannah's death, convinced that I had deliberately caused Lauren to misunderstand and let Hannah die. My brother-in-law, Jacob Turner, who rushed back from out of town, believed their lies. In his overwhelming grief, he hacked me to death with a knife at Hannah's funeral. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day Hannah was pushed and started bleeding out.

"Look, chat! The rich guy who lives in this fancy apartment is secretly a pervert who gropes college girls!" As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, my neighbor Yvonne Shaw cornered me at the door. She tugged at her collar while crying to the camera. "Chat, this is where the guy lives! Just now in the elevator, he covered my mouth and groped me all over... If the elevator door hadn't opened in time, he would have dragged me back to his place!" The comments section exploded, the screen filled with curses aimed at my husband. But later, in court, when they saw my husband who had lost both arms saving someone five years ago... They were all dumbfounded.

“I’m—“ My breath catch as my eyes darted between the bulge in his pants and his dark stare. “I’m not interested.” I said, turning on my heels and walking towards the door. With bated breath, I hoped he’d grab me from behind as I approached the door, my chest tightening in anticipation. ……………………………………………… One drunken night. One shattered heart. One man she never planned to want. Irene Reynolds loves the thrill of the chase but the man who tempts her most, Damian Russo refuses to play along. He’s controlled. Unyielding. Off-limits in all the ways that matter. As desire dares duty and sparks fly, the question isn’t who will chase whom… It’s who will break first. And when Damian finally lets her win, will Irene be satisfied with the chase or will she want everything else he offers her after?

Seluruh keluarga Gaia Rajendra sedang berkumpul di rumahnya untuk mengadakan syukuran sebab Gaia baru pulang dari rumah sakit, setelah sebelumnya dia dirawat karena kecelakaan tragis yang menimpanya. Di tengah acara, seorang pria tampan nan misterius datang bersama dua anak kecil, di mana ternyata pria itu adalah tamu spesial ayahnya. Awalnya, Gaia kira pria misterius itu adalah duda yang datang untuk melamarnya. Sebab pria itu terus menatap dan memperhatikannya, juga sering melempar senyum tipis padanya. Namun, ternyata pria itu adalah …. "Seluruh kamar tamu sudah dipakai. Jadi aku dan anak-anak akan tidur di sini bersamamu, Ailov. Kau tidak masalah bukan?" Gaia hanya menganggukkan kepala sambil senyum canggung pada sosok pria tampan yang berdiri menjulang tinggi–tepat di depannya.

“Nay, kamu diantar siapa?” Tanya Rama pada putrinya. “E-diantar, E-sendiri Pa, kenapa?” Tanya Naya gugup menutupi kebenarannya. “Ya sudah ganti baju gih, kita makan siang sama sama.” Naya melipir menuju kamar dengan degup jantungnya yang sulit dikendalikan. Napasnya seolah tercekat karena mencari alasan yang masuk akal untuk menjawab pertanyaan papanya, sedari kecil Naya tak pernah berbohong. Namun jika sudah menyangkut Doni, Naya bisa apa selain menyembunyikan hubungannya dengan Om yang digadang-gadang akan menjadi suaminya kelak, itulah harapan Naya dan Doni.
