“Mau?” Surya Setiawan menatap wanita yang menerjang masuk ke dalam pelukannya dengan wajah memerah, nadanya terdengar santai. Joana Widodo sedang kambuh. Ia gigit bibirnya dan mengangguk. Sudah setahun menikah, namun suaminya, Fajar Geraldi nggak pernah sekali pun sentuh dia. Karena itu, Joana menderita gangguan histeria, setiap kali kambuh, ia diliputi hasrat yang begitu kuat. Hingga suatu malam ia pergoki suaminya diam-diam cium foto kakaknya. Baru saat itu ia sadar kalau selama ini ia cuma pengganti. Kondisinya pun makin parah. Ia terpaksa pergi ke rumah sakit. Di sana, ia bertemu seorang dokter muda yang tampan. Saat pemeriksaan berlangsung, ia hampir kehilangan kendali dan nyaris …. Nggak nyangka, keesokan harinya saat masuk kerja, dokter yang semalam periksa dia dengan begitu intim ternyata adalah presiden direktur baru yang tiba-tiba ditunjuk? Joana berniat pura-pura nggak kenal dia. Namun, ia justru dipromosikan jadi asisten pribadi di sisi sang presiden direktur yang baru. “Surya, aku sudah punya suami. Apa kamu mau jadi pihak ketiga?” Di dalam kantor, Joana dipaksa duduk di pangkuannya dengan kaki terbuka, wajahnya merah padam karena kesal. Pria itu cengkeram pinggangnya dan cium dia. “Sayang, kamu lupa? Kemarin malam, semalaman kamu panggil aku suami.” Belakangan, Joana nikah lagi tanpa menoleh ke belakang. Mantan suaminya justru menyesal, dengan mata merah memohon ke dia, “Joana, ayo kita mulai lagi! Asal nggak cerai, kamu mau apa pun akan aku turuti!” Joana menatapnya dingin. “Maaf. Aku nggak tertarik dengan pria yang nggak mampu jadi suami seutuhnya.”

Primadona sekolah akan menikah tepat di hari libur kemerdekaan. Dia mengundang seluruh teman sekelas di grup kelas agar menghadiri pesta pernikahannya. Awalnya, aku berniat pura-pura tidak melihat undangan itu, tapi ternyata dia langsung menyebut namaku. "Clarisa, waktu SMA kamu selalu pura-pura jadi diriku, tapi aku nggak akan mempermasalahkannya. Aku harap kamu bisa datang untuk melihat pernikahan mewahku besok." Segera setelah itu, beberapa teman sekelas ikut menanggapi pesannya. "Primadona sekolah memang baik orangnya, pantas saja bisa menikah dengan anak dari Keluarga Wirawan. Dia bahkan bisa memaafkan orang sombong seperti Clarisa." "Apa orang seperti Clarisa pantas, menghadiri pernikahan primadona sekolah kita yang akan diadakan di vila? Jadi orang jangan terlalu baik." Mereka makin mengolok-olok Clarisa, hingga si primadona sekolah akhirnya muncul untuk menenangkan suasana. "Sudahlah, itu kan sudah lama sekali, aku juga sudah nggak mempermasalahkannya. Lagipula, Clarisa kan memang miskin dan jelek, kita jangan terlalu mengejeknya." Begitu dia berkata demikian, grup langsung dipenuhi pesan pujian. Orang-orang memuji betapa baik hati dan polosnya dia. Aku tertawa sinis. Dulu, si primadona sekolah itu selalu memasang citra bak putri konglomerat di sekolah. Dia bahkan memfitnahku, yang sebenarnya adalah putri keluarga konglomerat asli, sebagai seorang pembohong. Semua orang di sekolah sampai menghinaku. Saat membuka undangan elektronik darinya, aku baru sadar bahwa alamat pernikahannya berlokasi di vila milik keluargaku. Makin kuamati foto pengantin pria, makin aku merasa familier. Bukankah itu sopir suamiku? Aku tersenyum begitu menyadarinya, lalu membalas pesan di grup. "Baiklah, aku pasti akan datang di acara pernikahanmu."

Mi esposo, Alejandro Montoya, el presidente del grupo, creyó que los tres meses de frialdad calculada que, por iniciativa propia, me impuso finalmente habían dado resultado, cuando se enteró de que yo había cedido voluntariamente un proyecto millonario a su asistente favorita. Convencido de que ya me había “domado”, propuso llevarme a Nordella para nuestra luna de miel. Pero cuando Sofía Vega, la asistente a la que más consentía, se enteró, los celos la desbordaron y armó un escándalo, amenazando con renunciar a la empresa. Mi esposo, que siempre la había consentido, entró en pánico. Después de pasar tres días y tres noches atendiendo sus caprichos, usó un viaje de negocios como excusa para cancelar nuevamente nuestra luna de miel y entregarle el otro boleto a Sofía. Mas tarde, me explicó todo con total indiferencia. —El amor y los sentimientos son cosas sin importancia, lo importante es el trabajo. Como jefe, debo poner a la empresa en primer lugar. Tú eres mi esposa, deberías apoyarme, ¿no? Miré el celular, en el último estado de Sofía, aparecía una foto de ambos, con las cabezas juntas y las manos formando un corazón, como una pareja enamorada. No dije nada, solo asentí. Alejandro creyó que me había vuelto comprensiva y madura. Quedó muy satisfecho e incluso prometió que, al regresar al país, me compensaría con una luna de miel aún más romántica. Lo que no sabía era que yo ya había presentado mi renuncia. Y que él mismo había firmado, hacía tiempo, el acuerdo de divorcio. Entre él y yo, ya no existía ningún futuro.

“Dia adalah anakmu.” Deg! Wanita bergaun hitam itu mematung seketika. Menatap foto hasil USG dengan janin di dalam kantong rahim yang diserahkan oleh Darius padanya. “A--apa kau bilang?”Suaranya tergantung, merasakan pasokan udara di sekitarnya habis seketika sampai dadanya merasa sesak. Dia semakin mengepalkan tangannya sekuat tenaga, menggigit bibirnya kuat-kuat agar tangisannya tak pecah saat itu juga. Sakit yang didera olehnya bertahun-tahun kini semakin bertambah. Maniknya menatap bengis pria yang tengah menatapnya dengan penuh sendu. “Persetan!!! Kembalikan anakku, Biadab!!!” teriaknya nyaring, menerjang tubuh besar itu dan memukulinya sambil terus menangis menjerit, tak kuasa menahan rasa sedih dan terkejutnya. Bahkan dia yang baru saja pulih harus menyadari fakta yang terkuak. Menikahi pria beristri dan kini membunuh calon buah hatinya dengan tega. *** “Ceraikan saja suamimu itu, kau tak bisa berharap apa-apa darinya. Pria itu terlalu pengecut untuk menjelaskan kalau dirinya mandul.” Lakshmi mengangkat gelas kopinya, menyesapnya perlahan sambil menikmati pahitnya. Bahkan wanita yang duduk di depannya itu pun ikut tercengang. "Kau ingin merebutnya dariku bukan?" desisnya. Sontak pertanyaan itu membuat Lakshmi pun tergelak. Menertawakan pertanyaan bodoh itu sendiri. "Hah? Aku? Hahaha! Bahkan aku ingin melihatnya mati terpuruk," tekannya. Dia mengibaskan rambut panjangnya congkak. “Kenapa? Dia mencintaimu Lakshmi. Tak bisakah kau melihatnya?” “Mencintaiku? Aku tak pernah percaya cinta. Bahkan saat dia tega menikahiku di saat aku masih berusia belia.” Lakshmita Arjanti, wanita yang memiliki mimpi besar namun harus kandas karena pada akhirnya dia dijual melalui pernikahan dengan Darius Raymond Mahendra. Dendamnya yang mengakar semakin menambah rasa bencinya sendiri. Bagaimana dia membalaskan dendamnya di saat tahu kalau calon buah hatinya pun dikorbankan tanpa dia tahu?

La primera decisión que tomé tras renacer fue rechazar el rito de marca con mi compañero Alfa, Ethan. En mi vida anterior, cuando Ethan intentó aplazar nuestra ceremonia de unión por trigésima segunda vez, lo amenacé invocando las leyes sagradas de la Diosa de la Luna. Al final, Ethan cedió. Para apaciguar mi furia, juró que nada volvería a interrumpirnos. Sin embargo, esa misma noche murió Ivy, su amante Omega. Desde aquel instante, Ethan me odió con cada fibra de su ser. Cuando le confesé que estaba esperando cachorros, me ahogó en las aguas gélidas del Mar del Norte. —Tú y la abominación que llevas dentro merecen morir por lo que le pasó a ella. Me escupió las palabras mientras me hundía la cabeza bajo el agua. Morí sumida en la desesperación. Pero al abrir los ojos, me encontraba de nuevo frente al altar. Ethan lucía impaciente. —A Ivy le duele el pecho... Tenemos que posponer la ceremonia de unión otra vez. Esperaba que le suplicara. En lugar de eso, me desabroché el collar ceremonial y se lo arrojé a la cara. —Ve con ella. Yo me largo. Ethan hizo una mueca de desprecio. —Deja el drama. Sin mi aroma, vas a regresar arrastrándote de rodillas en una semana. No sabía que, una hora más tarde, yo estaría tocando a la puerta de su enemigo mortal: Damon, el Tirano del Norte. Cuando publiqué una foto luciendo el anillo del Alfa Winterborn en mi dedo, con la leyenda “Un Alfa Mejor”, Ethan enloqueció...

Quando meu marido, o presidente, soube que eu havia, voluntariamente, cedido um projeto de dezenas de milhões à assistente que ele mais estimava, achou que os três meses de silêncio entre nós finalmente haviam surtido efeito. Então ele tomou a iniciativa de sugerir uma viagem de lua de mel à Islândia. No entanto, ao saber disso, a assistente ficou extremamente enciumada e ameaçou pedir demissão da empresa. Meu marido, que sempre a mimava, entrou em pânico e passou três dias e três noites tentando consolá-la. Depois disso, alegando uma viagem de negócios, voltou a romper a promessa da lua de mel e ainda deu a ela a segunda passagem da viagem. Mais tarde, ele me explicou tudo com total indiferença: — Coisas do coração são pequenas. O trabalho vem sempre em primeiro lugar. Como presidente, tenho que priorizar os negócios. Você é minha esposa. Deveria me apoiar nisso, não é? Olhei para a publicação recém-postada pela assistente no Instagram, uma foto dos dois como um casal, cabeça com cabeça, fazendo coração com as mãos. Não disse uma palavra, apenas assenti levemente. Meu marido achou que eu tinha me tornado mais generosa e compreensiva. Ficou satisfeito e prometeu que, ao retornar, ia me levar para uma lua de mel ainda mais romântica. Mas ele não sabia. Eu já havia pedido demissão, e ele já tinha assinado os papéis do divórcio. Entre ele e eu, não haveria mais um "depois".

The sound of the liquor bottle breaking echoed against the walls of that room, making her flinched. She gazed into those intoxicated piercing green eyes hovering over her. "Leave from my room right now, Damien," her sapphire orbs filled with tears of terror, whereas her grip tightened on the towel covering her wet bare body but the person before her didn't follow her words. A shiver ran down her spine when he placed his both palms on the glass door behind her, caging her completely. "We will talk tomorrow when you will be sober up but please leave now," she attempted to push him away but her body froze when he pinned both of her wrists above her head, resulting in the towel slipping from her body. Her naked body trembled, both in fear and cold but the blazing rage in those bloodshed green eyes flamed up her being. She tried to wiggle out from his hold until…. "Do you still love him, Zia?" His question stabbed inside her heart like a dagger. Her tears of fear turned into anger. After she submitted every single inch of her to him last night, he was still asking her that question. "What if I said, yes…I still love Dylan then?" She challenged him but immediately hissed in pain when he dug his fingers in her tender skin. "Then I will kill him right in front of you," his cavernous voice husked against her lips but his words glossed her eyes more. How can he be so cruel that he didn't hesitate before thinking about killing his own brother? Her heart clenched when he pressed his lips against her and whispered those words in her mouth. "Because I will be the only person to ruin you in my love, Zia Damien Karlson,"
