Flaming Flower

Aku meninggal pada hari ulang tahunku sendiri. Namun, orang tuaku dan suamiku sama sekali tidak menyadarinya. Mereka malah sedang sibuk menyiapkan pesta ulang tahun untuk adik kembarku dengan sepenuh hati. Ketika adikku dikelilingi semua orang untuk memilih gaun pesta, aku diikat erat dan dilempar ke dalam ruang bawah tanah. Dengan seluruh tenaga yang tersisa, aku menekuk jariku yang hampir patah, lalu dengan susah payah memasukkan empat angka: 9395. Itu adalah kode darurat sederhana yang dulu pernah kusepakati bersama suamiku, Willy. Itu adalah sebuah sinyal yang harus dia mengerti jika aku berada dalam bahaya. Tak pernah kuduga, pada akhirnya, kode itu benar-benar kupakai. Namun, Willy tidak percaya. Dia membalas dingin. [ Valerie, cuma karena aku nggak bawa kamu beli baju baru, kamu sampai berakting begini? Gaun tahun lalu masih bisa kamu pakai. Sampai jumpa nanti di pesta, jangan bikin ribut. ] Dia tidak tahu bahwa gaunku sudah lama digunting habis oleh adikku. Dia juga tidak tahu bahwa satu detik setelah dia menutup telepon, nyawaku sudah melayang. Jadi, pada malam pesta ulang tahun itu, aku memang tidak pernah muncul. Namun ketika semua orang melihat hadiah ulang tahun yang sudah kusiapkan terlebih dahulu untuk adikku ... mereka semua langsung kehilangan akal.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" He asked coldly without an expressio. She smiled faintly and said straightforwardly, "I agree to divorce." "However, I have a condition." Jenna licked her red lips, as if she had made up her mind, "I want 50 million compensation." "As long as you sleep with me for one night, I will agree." He gave her a cold gaze, with a scornful smile on his perfect lips. "Deal! Mr. Richards, no pay no goods. After tonight, we will have no relationship." ******************************************************** Jenna Murphy married Hansen Richards, who she loved from childhood but the one who hated her the most.

However, Jenna found some clues that showed the car accident made her family ruined seemed to have some relation with Hansen...

Saat suamiku mengancam akan menceraikanku untuk keseratus kalinya, demi memintaku berkorban demi adikku... Aku tidak menangis atau membuat keributan dan menandatangani surat cerai tanpa banyak bicara. Aku menyerahkan pria yang telah kucintai selama sepuluh tahun kepada adikku. Beberapa hari kemudian, adikku membuat pernyataan keterlaluan di sebuah pesta, dan menyinggung keluarga yang berpengaruh. Aku sekali lagi dengan sukarela memikul tanggung jawab itu, menanggung semua konsekuensinya demi adikku. Bahkan ketika mereka kemudian memintaku menjadi subjek uji coba obat untuk penelitian adikku, aku pun menerimanya tanpa ragu. Ayah dan ibu berkata, akhirnya aku menjadi anak yang penurut dan pengertian. Bahkan suamiku yang biasanya dingin pun berdiri di samping ranjang rumah sakit, dan untuk pertama kalinya setelah sekian lama, membelai pipiku dengan lembut dan berkata, "Jangan takut, eksperimennya tidak akan membahayakan nyawamu. Setelah kamu keluar, akan kubuatkan makanan enak untukmu." Tapi dia tidak tahu, mau eksperimennya berbahaya atau tidak, dia tidak akan pernah bisa menungguku lagi. Karena aku mengidap penyakit mematikan, dan sebentar lagi aku akan mati.

Aku dan sahabat terbaik kakakku, Revano, sudah berpacaran tiga tahun, tetapi dia tidak pernah mau mengumumkan hubungan kami. Namun, aku tidak pernah meragukan cintanya padaku. Bagaimanapun, dia pernah punya 99 pacar, tetapi dia tidak lagi melirik perempuan lain sejak bersamaku. Bahkan ketika aku hanya sedikit masuk angin, dia akan langsung meninggalkan proyek bernilai puluhan miliaran dan terbang pulang. Sampai hari ulang tahunku, aku hendak memberi tahu Revano bahwa aku hamil. Namun, untuk pertama kalinya dia lupa hari ulang tahunku dan menghilang tanpa jejak. Pembantu memberitahuku bahwa dia pergi menjemput seseorang yang sangat penting dari luar negeri. Aku bergegas ke bandara dan melihat dia memegang sebuket bunga. Wajahnya penuh rasa gugup karena menunggu seorang gadis, gadis yang wajahnya sangat mirip denganku. Belakangan, kakakku memberitahuku bahwa dia adalah cinta pertama Revano, seseorang yang tak bisa dia lupakan seumur hidup. Revano pernah memutus hubungan dengan orang tuanya demi perempuan itu. Setelah dirinya dicampakkan, Revano hancur, hampir gila, dan mencari 99 pengganti yang mirip dengan wanita itu untuk menghabiskan hari-harinya. Saat kakakku berkata begitu, nada suaranya penuh kekaguman pada besarnya cinta Revano. Dia tidak tahu bahwa adik perempuan yang dia sayangi setengah mati, adalah salah satu dari pengganti itu. Aku menatap pasangan itu sangat lama, lalu tanpa ragu kembali ke rumah sakit. "Dokter, anak ini ... aku nggak menginginkannya lagi."

***This book contains violence, cursing, sexual content, and talk of suicide, enjoy at your discretion.*** I was walking through an unknown foggy forest when I spotted a field of wildflowers. My feet had a mind of their own as they led me to wander through the flowers. I nonchalantly dragged my hands over the flowers. It was a beautiful and serene sight. I deeply inhaled the sweet scent of the flower and gave a little shudder of bliss. I closed my eyes and just absorbed the moment wanting to remember it. Suddenly the sounds of paws hitting the forest floor overwhelmed me. Then the forest was ignited with flames. Everything glowed vibrant oranges and reds as heavy smoke smothered me from above. I threw myself to the ground desperate for any trace of clean air. As I attempted to crawl out of the flowers a new sound harmonized with the thunder paws, screams and howls for help terrorized me. I clawed at the ground desperate to escape the menacing choir. Fire licked my skin and I screamed for help. Sobs escaped my lips as flaming branches fell on me from above. The smell of burning flesh was the only thing that consumed me as everything went dark.

"You can't run away from them, goddess." Albert's cold voice echoed in her ears, and Myra almost trembled with fear. "Then what should I do? Do you want me dead...! They will kill me" She cried. "They won't..." Albert said and Myra blinked in surprise. How could he be so sure? "They can't kill you, goddess and you don't have to run away from them" Then what do you want me to do? They are so dangerous and strong whereas I am just a human girl..." she cried in frustration. What else could she imagine? "You can never defeat them but you can Tame them..." Albert's words reverberated in Myra's ears as she unconsciously repeated them. "Tame them...!!" Is he serious? "Can you be more serious? We are talking about those two most powerful Alpha's out there not some cats or dogs... Who the hell could tame them??" Albert smiled. "No one else could but you can..." ******** Let's embark on the beautiful yet tough journey of a little human girl, Myra, in which she was introduced to the world of werewolves as the red stone goddess. How would be her life after that? Will she survive? Thank you for choosing my book. We authors need your support. A review, a comment even a like is appreciated. Thank you once again.❤💕

I had been married for eight years when I inherited a fortune worth hundreds of millions that my grandfather left to me and my mafia boss husband. However, just as the lawyer was finalizing the transfer, we discovered my marriage certificate was fake. That meant the entire inheritance could only go to me. “Ms. Rivers, according to the system, you were divorced a year ago. Your husband, Zayn Levine, is legally married to… Whitney Sanders. According to the papers, you're single. In other words, Mr. Levine has no right to claim the inheritance.” Whitney, the woman Zayn had once loved before she went abroad, the one he never forgot. I stared at the lawyer’s message, unable to accept it. All of Zayn’s affection and tenderness over the years had been nothing but a lie. I had planned to tell him on our anniversary that after eight long years of marriage, I was pregnant. It was the miracle we had both been waiting for. Yet it seemed like he had never really been looking forward to it at all. As I gently rested my hand on my belly, I told myself that even if my twins grew up without a father, they would be just fine. In this place built on nothing but lies, the only thing left for me to do was run away.

Minahal ko siya sa kabila nang malamig niyang trato sa akin, ngunit sa huli ay parang basura niya lang kung itapon ako sa pagbabalik ng kaniyang unang pag-ibig. Pero hindi ako papayag na mauwi sa wala ang mga araw na natitira sa akin. Hindi mo na ako maaangking muli, President Riego!
