Dublin Ink

The day Adrian Knight clinched a contract with our biggest client, I "accidentally" tipped a bottle of ink across the paperwork, voiding it on the spot. Because of that single blot, the project landed in Alex Lewis’s lap, and he won Chairman Henry Carter’s favor almost overnight, moving into the Carter mansion as their future son-in-law and watching his net worth rocket into eight figures. Adrian never blamed me. He just laughed that he’d never been executive material anyway and happily brought me home as his bride. Everyone whispered that, if not for my meddling, Adrian would already be sitting in the Carter family’s executive suite instead of scraping by in an ordinary life with me. Only I knew the truth: stopping him from signing that contract had saved his life. When Adrian learned I was pregnant, he locked me in the basement, fingers digging into my throat. "If it hadn’t been for you," he snarled, "I’d be Henry Carter’s son-in-law by now. You’re the reason I lost Rachel, the princess of the Carter family." That’s when I realized he’d been nursing this grudge for years. After he killed me, I woke up, reborn on the very day Adrian first reached for that fatal contract. This time, I’ll make sure Adrian Knight gets exactly what he wants.

During the year that changed my life, my high school homeroom teacher called me to the corridor and asked if I was the heroine of the dirty scandal that shook the whole school. “I know you’re here on a scholarship because of your family’s underprivileged background, but you can’t just do anything for money!” As everyone threw me strange looks, she continued smugly, “Don’t deny it. The mole on the girl’s neck is just like yours!” I calmly wiped off the ink stain on my skin, revealing my unblemished neck. My teacher turned red in the face. Unfortunately for her, I had been reborn. This time, I was not going to fall into the same traps.

1 tahun pernikahan terasa di neraka, merasa tertekan dan merasa bersalah kepada suamiku. peristiwa ini terjadi berawal di saat malam pertama kami. aku tidak mengeluarkan darah keperawan, kejadian ini menjadi cemoohan untukku. dikeheningan malam, dikamar yang penuh dengan hiasan indah dengan remang keromantisan, ku lihat sorot tatapan nanar suamiku seolah menyudutkanku, menyakitiku walau bibirnya tidak mengeluarkan sepatah kata kepadaku. peristiwa ini membuat hubungan kami menjadi berubah 180 derajat dari sebelumnya romantis, seakan menjadi dingin sedingin salju. suamiku seolah membisu dan berubah menjadi dingin ucapannya kadang menyayat hatiku. hari demi hari, aku lalui dengan menyalahkan tuhan dan takdirku. ditambah selama pernikahan aku tak kunjung hamil, karna tak pernah disentuh suamiku. sungguh aku perempuan yang tidak sempurna dimata suamiku. setelah menjalani pernikahan ink, dengan keadaan yang aku alami. tak disangka suami ku bermain curang dibelakangku. batin terasa tersiksa, dikala mencintai seorang suami dengan tulus dan iklas menjadi seorang istri yang penurut, menyiapkan segala keperluannya dirumah, meninggalkan karir untuk menjadi seorang ibu rumah tangga. tapi ternyata, suamiku menghianatiku. setelah lama ku pendam rasa sakitku ini, akhirnya malam itu hatiku meledak saat aku tahu suamiku berkhianat di belakangku. ku curahkan semua api kemarahanku di hadapannya, sudah tak terbendung dada terasa sesak, mata terasa panas air mata tak henti mengalir dipipiku. hati terasa remuk redam mengetahui kenyataan pahit bahwa suamiku tak lagi mencintaiku karena kejadian malam pertama itu. dia seakan menuduhku bukan perempuan baik, dan menipunya. sampai hati suamiku menghianati cintaku, sedangkan aku sebelum menikah tak pernah disentuh siapapun selain dirinya sendiri. terpuruk hanya karena takdir menciptakanku tanpa selaput dara, tanpa keturunan, dan dikhianati.

I came here on a scholarship. No parents. No safety net. Just brains, bruises, and a shot at a better life. Now they want me on the hockey team? I’ve never even touched a stick. And if I say no—I lose everything. The only thing colder than the rink is how they look at me. The rich girls with their designer skates and perfect smiles. The coach who’d rather pretend I don’t exist. And him—Jaxon Reid, the team’s golden boy, who skates like sin and speaks with his eyes more than his mouth. He thinks I’m a joke. They all do. But I’ve fought for every inch of my life, and I’m not about to back down now. Not when college is the only thing standing between me and going back to nothing. So I’ll lace up. I’ll fall, I’ll bruise, I’ll bleed if I have to. And maybe—just maybe—I’ll learn how to play their game better than they do. Because survival isn’t about being the best. It’s about refusing to lose.
