Foto Karma Akabane

Pada hari Rina Januar pulang negeri, Galih Gunawan tidak pulang semalaman. Keesokan harinya, aku melihat unggahan foto di instagram Rina. Itu foto dua tangan yang saling menggenggam dan wajah polos Galih yang sedang tidur. Ketika pulang, Galih melemparkan surat cerai kepadaku dan memintaku untuk menyerahkan posisiku sebagai Nyonya Gunawan. Katanya, "Posisi ini memang seharusnya milik Rina. Sekarang dia sudah pulang, waktunya kamu meminggir!" Tidak apa-apa, toh sisa hidupku tidak lama lagi. Siapa pun yang mau posisi Nyonya Gunawan, ambil saja! Kemudian, aku pun meninggal. Galih menangis di depan makamku dan berjanji tidak akan pernah menggenggam tangan wanita lain lagi!

Di tahun kesepuluh pernikahanku, mantan sahabatku memposting sebuah foto. Putrinya dan putraku masing-masing digendong olehnya dan suamiku. Keempat orang itu berdiri berdekatan dan di bawah foto itu tertulis: "Sudah sepasang 'kan anak-anak kami?" Aku berkomentar untuk foto itu, Pasangan yang sempurna. Detik berikutnya, postingan itu dihapus. Keesokan harinya, suamiku bergegas pulang dan bertanya padaku, "Susah payah aku membuat kondisi Sophie membaik, kenapa kamu malah cari ribut?" Putraku bahkan mendorong dan menuduhku, "Ini semua salahmu! Adikku jadi menangis." Aku mengeluarkan surat cerai dan melemparkannya ke wajah mereka. "Ya, ini salahku! Jadi biar aku yang pergi, semoga kalian berempat jadi keluarga bahagia!"

Lesley Hummer, my husband's sister, lies to me about being unable to conceive. She wants me to help her produce a child. To my shock and horror, my husband and mother-in-law agree with her! I refuse to give in, so they drug me and force me into bed with my her husband. When the pregnancy comes to term, I give birth to a daughter. My husband and his family go nuts because it's not a boy. They kill the baby before my very eyes! They even take away all my organs that can be exchanged for money. Then, they continue searching for a surrogate for Lesley. When I open my eyes again, I'm back to the day Lesley kneeled before me to beg me.

Dalawang buwan ng mamatay ako, napagtanto ng mga magulang ko na nakalimutan nila akong iuwi mula sa lakad nila. Naiinis na sumimangot at sumigaw ang ama ko. “Dapat siyang maglakad mag-isa mismo. Kailangan ba niya talaga itong palakihin?” Ang kapatid ko, na mayabang, ay binuksan ang chat namin at nagpadala ng emoji, kasama ng message. [Mamatay ka na dyan. Sa ganitong paraan. Kami ni Scarlet ang maghahati sa pamana ni Lola.] Wala siyang natanggap na sagot. Habang malamig ang ekspresyon, nagsalita ang nanay ko, “Sabihin mo sa kanya na kapag nagpakita siya sa kaarawan ng lola niya sa tamang oras, hahayaan ko na ang pagtulak niya kay Scarlet sa tubig.” Hindi sila naniniwala na hindi ako nakaalis ng gubat. Matapos maghukay ng malalim, nakita nila sawakas ang mga buto ko.

Mon compagnon Alpha pensait que je ne savais pas qu'il avait un petit Oméga métis avec sa maîtresse Oméga, mais j'avais découvert son secret depuis longtemps. Je l'ai menacé pour qu'il rompe avec sa maîtresse, sinon je cacherais leur enfant et lui ferais regretter pour toujours. Mais je n'ai absolument rien fait, leur enfant a disparu. Il m'a enfermée dans une cage d'argent et m'a même laissée voir mon fils souffrir pour m'interroger sur l'endroit où se trouvait leur enfant. Mais quand mon fils est vraiment mort, j'ai complètement abandonné et je suis partie. Le puissant Alpha s'est effondré.

My boyfriend said that art held no restrictions, so he used my provocative paintings to enter a competition. Amidst a row of classic ceramic figurines, I became famous. He shot to fame, landing in the top ten of trending searches, while I was humiliated by the entire internet and mocked as a “ceramic influencer.” When I confronted him, he looked at me with disappointment. “They don’t understand art, and neither do you? I thought you would support my work, but I didn’t expect you to stir trouble! You’re so immature!”

On the eve of giving birth, my world turned into a nightmare. My husband’s sworn enemy broke into our home, seeking revenge. I was brutally cut open and my baby was ripped from me. Yet, I made the chilling choice not to call my husband for help. In my previous life, desperate and terrified, I begged him to return home. He abandoned a Valentine’s dinner with a scholarship student to rush back. That night, the student was preyed upon in a bar, leading to her tragic suicide. My husband’s wrath was unrelenting. Blaming me for her death, he locked me in a kennel, leaving me to be savaged to death. “This is the pain Wynne endured because of you. Now it’s your turn to suffer!” Given a second chance, I resolved to make a different choice. This time, I let him stay for his romantic Valentine’s evening with her. But when I returned home, he had spiraled into madness.
