Get Well Soon

Everyone knows that I married a vegetable who will die in half a year. But why did he suddenly wake up after our wedding? And why is he even not a human?

Dr. Raka Permadi, seorang sejarawan jenius, telah mengubur masa lalunya dalam arsip kuno, lari dari bayang-bayang ayahnya, seorang dalang legendaris yang kematiannya diselimuti misteri. Namun, ketika serangkaian pembunuhan brutal terjadi di Yogyakarta—setiap korban ditata menyerupai adegan tragis dari wiracarita Mahabharata—Raka dipaksa keluar dari keheningannya oleh Kompol Kirana, seorang detektif pragmatis dari Jakarta. Saat Raka menyadari gaya pembunuhan ini adalah tiruan sempurna dari pakem sang ayah, penyelidikan ini berubah menjadi pencarian kebenaran personal. Di antara manuskrip dan suluk kuno, Raka dan Kirana berpacu melawan Sang Dalang, seorang pembunuh cerdas yang mementaskan keadilan berdarah di jalanan kota. Namun, Raka segera menemukan bahwa ini bukanlah sekadar pembunuhan. Sang Dalang sedang menyiapkan panggung untuknya, sebuah babak final di mana dirinya harus memilih: menjadi pahlawan dalam lakon mematikan ini, atau menjadi korban berikutnya.

I’m getting married, but my CEO fiancé, whom I had been engaged to for ten years, had no idea. Thanks to his new personal maid, the man has no time to spare for me. The two of them always shadowed one another, and they might as well be sleeping in the same bed. My fiancé even bought a yacht and brought her to the Arctic to see the aurora when she was in a bad mood, completely forgetting that we were supposed to be picking out wedding gowns that day. I spent the entire day waiting in that bridal shop, waiting for a man who would never show up. So I called my dad, “I’m marrying someone else.”

My best friend and I signed up for the Dual Marriage System so the cancer wouldn't kill me. She and I managed to steal the hearts of the Hopkin brothers. Naturally, we became in-laws. Seven years later, my husband's son told me I was dull and useless. Meanwhile, my best friend's husband slammed her behind bars for the sake of his old flame. When she was released, the last thing she told me was, "Live on." Then, she rushed into the oncoming traffic and was crushed into a pulp by a speeding truck.

I've been with my girlfriend, Erin Palmer, for five years. But the moment she finally lands the job she's always dreamed of, she dumps me. It feels like a blade twisting in my heart. Without my support, she would've never gotten to where she is now. What stings even more is discovering she's been cheating on me with my supervisor, Gavin Trent. Yet little does she know that this company is just one of the subsidiaries under my name.

Adrian Hale and Elara Calder are forced into a merger neither wants. Bound by boardrooms and buried grudges, they clash at every turn, each convinced the other is responsible for their family’s downfall. What begins as open hostility slowly fractures under late nights, sharp words, and moments of accidental intimacy, neither can ignore. As tension deepens, hidden truths threaten everything they believe. Adrian and Elara must choose between the comfort of hatred and the risk of trusting each other.

The autumn break has just ended when a call arrives from school. "Ms. Watson, your daughter failed to secure a scholarship and bullied her classmate in retaliation. Can you please come to school?" When I rush over, I find Lila Keats bound to a trash can, her hair drenched in sewage, and her mouth sealed with duct tape. Meanwhile, the so-called victim merely has had two strands of hair pulled out. After some querying, I discover that Melody Caldwell is jealous of Lila's achievements and has been waiting for an opportunity to strike. When I demand an apology, Vanessa Morrison flies into a rage. "You're lowly trash without a proper family! My daughter teaching her a lesson is the greatest honor you can obtain in this life! "Expel her immediately! My husband works in the Education Bureau! Beg for mercy, or she can forget about taking the college entrance exam!" That arrogant woman is convinced that Lila and I will beg for forgiveness after being expelled. Unfortunately, she has chosen to mess with the wrong person. Lila's grandfather is a nuclear weapons expert. Her true origins have been concealed for her safety since her whole family works for classified operations. I immediately call the Intelligence Agency. "Mr. Keats' granddaughter was bullied severely at school. Send someone here to deal with this now!"

Ich starrte auf den Vercetti-Ehevertrag, den mein Vater über den Tisch schob. Ohne zu zögern schrieb ich den Namen meiner Halbschwester darauf – Demi – und schob ihn zurück. Mein Vater erstarrte. Dann leuchteten seine Augen vor absurder Begeisterung auf, als hätte er gerade im Lotto gewonnen. „Wie kannst du deiner Schwester eine so perfekte Chance überlassen?“ In meinem letzten Leben war meine Ehe ein Witz für alle um mich herum. Ich war die rothaarige, ungezähmte kleine Hexe, die es wagte, in Cassian Vercettis Umlaufbahn einzudringen – dem Erben und Anführer der alteingesessenen Vercetti-Verbrecherfamilie. Ich war nie perfekt und auch nie gehorsam. Er liebte wallende Göttinnenkleider. Ich trug Miniröcke und tanzte auf Tischen. Er verlangte Missionarsstellung, traditionelle, geordnete Intimität. Ich wollte oben sein, ihn reiten, mich völlig darin verlieren. Bei einer Gala lachten die Gesellschaftsdamen über meine Haare, mein Kleid, meine „Wildheit“. Ich dachte, er würde mich wenigstens zum Schein verteidigen. Das tat er nicht. „Verzeiht ihr. Sie ist nicht… richtig erzogen.“ Erzogen. Wie ein Hund. Mein gesamtes letztes Leben verbrachte ich damit, unter seinen Regeln zu ersticken. Ich verbog mich bis aufs Blut, um in die Form zu passen, die er wollte – bis zu der Nacht, als unser Haus Feuer fing. Als ich meine Augen wieder öffnete, war ich zurück an dem Moment, als ich von der arrangierten Ehe erfuhr. Ich blickte auf den Vertrag vor mir. Dieses Mal? Ich glaube, die Jungs aus dem Nachtclub passen besser zu mir. Doch in dem Moment, als Cassian erkannte, dass ich nicht die Braut war, zerschmetterte er jede Regel, nach der er je gelebt hatte.

My adoptive parents' long-lost daughter came back. She's a wellness influencer. She eats from crystal bowls she "cleansed." Sleeps with a white noise machine. She will only ride in a custom, climate-controlled car. That's not all. She filled our family's Manhattan law firm with Himalayan salt lamps and energy crystals. The espresso in the conference room? Replaced with gluten-free, organic dandelion root tea. "The energy here is so murky," she'd say. "We need to cleanse the world with love and light!" My guilt-ridden parents gave her everything she wanted. Even my fiancé told me, "Ava, you stole twenty years of her Upper East Side life. Can't you cut her some slack?" The day of the final hearing for our firm's biggest case, the entire court had to wait for her to finish her "emotional cleansing meditation." The judge was furious. I stood up. Delivered a flawless closing argument. I won our client $500 million and secured the future of the firm. But at the party, she had a drunken breakdown, fell into the pool, and drowned. My parents and my fiancé blamed me for everything. "You always have to win, don't you? It was a simple, open-and-shut case. You couldn't even let her have that?" They had me committed to a psychiatric hospital. They destroyed my law license and my reputation. They even had me injected with a fatal overdose of sedatives. I died full of hate. The next time I opened my eyes, I was back. Back to the day she was crying on her Instagram Live, begging for the case. This time, I walked straight into our rival's law firm. This "sure-win" case? I'm going to make you lose everything.
