On our wedding anniversary, I ask my husband, Luke Blackburn, to buy me some fish stew. Since I'm in my first trimester, I keep vomiting every now and then due to morning sickness. Right now, I have an intense craving for fish stew. But Luke comes home empty-handed in the middle of the night. He claims that he's completely forgotten about my request. I don't say anything at all. All I notice is a strand of long hair sticking to Luke's collar that doesn't belong to me. Some time later, I see the fish stew I never got to eat in a photo that Luke's colleague, Ruby Pollard, has uploaded to her social media feed. The caption reads, "Luke ordered this dish for me. He knows that I love fish stew from this particular restaurant the most. I'm so touched by his gesture!" In the photo, I see a pair of familiar hands picking out fish bones from the meat tenderly just for Ruby.

The day I find out I only have three days left to live, my mate comes home with a mate termination contract. He wants to break up with me and form a new bond with another she-wolf who's pretending to be dying—just to fulfill her so-called final wish. "Sweetheart, I don't have a choice," Caleb Lowe says, holding me in his arms. "Ruby's been poisoned with silver. She's got about a week left. Her dying wish is to marry me. But don't worry. You're the only one I love," he adds, looking at me with those sincere eyes. "Once the bonding ceremony is over and she's gone, we'll get back together—just like before." I look down and give a small laugh, then sign the termination contract. Forget it. I'm dying anyway. Who he ends up with doesn't matter anymore. I might as well let him have what he wants.

My CEO husband, Clayton Lockwood, was convinced I was a gold digger. Every time he went to comfort his first love during her depressive episodes, he would buy me a limited-edition bag. After half a year of marriage, my walk-in closet was filled with them. After giving ninety-nine bags, he noticed I had changed. I no longer cried my heart out or argued until I was hoarse when he visited his first love. I also did not brave the storm and cross the city anymore just because he said he wanted to see me. I only asked him for a rosary for our unborn child. When I mentioned our child, Clayton’s gaze softened. “Once Ruby’s condition improves, we’ll go to the hospital for a checkup first, then get a rosary.” I obediently agreed. Little did he know that I had a miscarriage ten days earlier. I had also prepared a divorce agreement that was ready for his signature.

Ketika aku mengetahui bahwa Navish lebih memilih untuk mengantar obat flu untuk asistennya, sementara aku terjebak di lift dengan klaustrofobia, aku memutuskan untuk mengajukan cerai. Navish dengan cepat menandatangani dokumen itu. Dia bahkan tertawa santai kepada temannya dan berkata, "Dia cuma ngambek. Lagian, orang tuanya sudah meninggal, dia nggak mungkin benar-benar menceraikan aku." "Selain itu, bukankah ada masa tunggu 30 hari untuk perceraian? Kalau dia menyesal, aku bisa bermurah hati memaafkannya dan dia pasti akan kembali padaku," tambahnya sambil tersenyum percaya diri. Keesokan harinya, dia memposting foto pasangan dengan asistennya di media sosial, lengkap dengan caption. [ Merekam setiap momen malumu yang manis. ] Aku menghitung hari-hari dengan tenang. Setelah memastikan semuanya sesuai rencana, aku mulai membereskan barang-barangku dan menelepon seseorang. "Paman, tolong belikan aku tiket pesawat ke Nu York," kataku dengan suara tegas.

Hari ketika aku keguguran dan mengalami pendarahan hebat, suamiku justru memamerkan foto telapak kaki bayi yang baru lahir di media sosialnya. Teks yang dia tulis berbunyi, "Selamat datang malaikat kecil, Ayah akan selalu menjagamu." Dengan tangan bergetar, aku menelponnya. "Anak kita sudah nggak ada, kamu bisa datang ke rumah sakit nggak?" Dari seberang terdengar tangisan bayi. Suaranya terdengar malas. "Kalau sudah begitu, kamu jaga kesehatanmu baik-baik. Yessy baru saja melahirkan, dia butuh aku. Aku nggak bisa pergi." "Dan yang sudah mati jangan rebut kasih sayang dengan yang masih hidup, ngerti nggak?" Dia langsung menutup telepon. Aku hancur di ranjang rumah sakit, akhirnya menghapus air mata, lalu menekan nomor musuh bebuyutannya, Lukas. "Nikahi aku, seluruh Grup Largi aku bawa jadi mas kawin. Aku cuma mau kamu jatuhin Fandi, kamu mau nggak?"
