Goodbye Scumbag, Hello True Love

Everyone knew—Jessica Conway had always adored Jack Murray. They were high school lovers, and everyone just assumed they would get married eventually and live happily ever after. But then, there was Abby Conway, Jessica's elder sister who was "gravely ill." On the eve of Jessica and Jack's wedding, he said, "Jess, your sister's really really sick. Let's give her a chance to be the bride for now, alright? You know you're the one I love." Abby echoed, "Jess, promise me you'll come to the wedding, okay?" Jessica clutched the stomach cancer diagnosis in her hands and said nothing. On the wedding day, she never showed up. Jack, realizing her absence, abandoned the ceremony and rushed home—only to find the house empty. The only thing left behind was a single sheet of paper: her final diagnosis. For three days and three nights, Jack knelt before Jessica, begging for a second chance. But she never forgave him. Not even in death.

[Warning, mengandung kebaperan tingkat dewa, pernah publish di Dreame pada Agustus 2020] Barbela Manda, nama kerennya Arbela, nama guyonnya Barbel. Datang dari Yogyakarta dengan sepucuk surat wasiat dari Almarhum sang Ayah sebelum meninggalkan dirinya sendiri. “Carilah keluarga Algibran di Jakarta. Sampaikan nama Ayah dan tinggal lah dengan mereka, belajarlah di sana dan bahagia.” Membuat Arbel dengan berat hati meninggalkan sanak saudara dan kerabat di Yogya untuk pergi berpetualang di Jakarta. Ares Algibran, cowok ber IQ hampir 200 yang saat ini sedang menempuh pendidikan kedokteran, mengikuti jejak Ayah, Ibu serta leluhur keluarganya.

Hanya satu kelemahannya, sikap arogan dan dingin yang gak ketulungan. Membosankan dan cuma tahu bagaimana menghabiskan waktu untuk belajar. Serta kelakuan kakunya yang tidak bisa mengungkapkan perasaan sebenarnya. Gawatnya, Arbela malah jatuh cinta pada pandangan pertama. “Saya boleh panggil kamu mas?” “Ga.” “Saya boleh berangkat bareng?” “Ga.” “Mau saya buatin teh?” “Hmm.” Bagaimana jika mereka di haruskan bertunangan karena perjanjian masa lalu dan wasiat Ayah Arbela? “Saya mau kamu pura-pura gak kenal saya di kampus, dan jangan pernah kasih tahu siapa-siapa kalau kamu tinggal di rumah saya, apa lagi ngaku-ngaku kamu tunangan saya.” Bagaimana jika Ares yang menentang dan bersikap bodo amat kepada Arbel malah berbuat ‘kesalahan’ yang mengharuskannya bertanggung jawab? “Satu tahun. Buat saya jatuh cinta sama kamu dalam waktu satu tahun. Kalau bisa, saya akan lanjutkan pertunangan ini ke jenjang yang lebih serius.” Ares yang sadis dan Arbel yang Masokis. Bisakah Arbel memenangkan cinta Ares dan mendapatkan pertanggung jawaban yang semestinya?

Two lives were lost that day, mine and my unborn child's, but they all said it was my fate, and I deserved it. Sophie had orchestrated everything.

He told himself it was for the best, that the child had done a good deed and would be blessed for it. But deep down, guilt consumed him. Still, in the end, he decided to marry Sophie. As my soul faded and seemed to be slipping away for good, he exposed Sophie's evil deeds at their wedding. In a final act of desperation, he dragged her and jumped down the building.

My secretary replaced me on my wedding day, walking down the aisle in a white wedding gown. The man I had loved for ten years threw the bridesmaid dress in my face and ordered me to wear it instead. "She is the bride now. You'll be next," he said coldly. My grandmother was so furious that she fell ill on the spot. Meanwhile, he and the secretary smiled brightly as they completed the wedding ceremony. After the grand wedding, the secretary posted photos of herself in her wedding gown on social media. The comments were overwhelmingly congratulatory. [Today is such a beautiful day, I finally got what I wanted. I hope those who try to ruin someone else's relationship will wake up soon.] She wrote. Chester Morrison replied to her post: [It is a great day. Don't ruin your good mood by some trash.] When I returned home, holding my grandmother's photo, who had passed away, I found them tangled together on the bedspread my grandmother had lovingly sewn for me, the one with a pair of Swan that symbolizes eternal love.

I knew that my father did not like me since I was young. When I wanted to commit suicide to end the pain caused by my illness, he was celebrating another child’s birthday. He hated my mother and me alongside her. So, when I told him that I was sick, he did not believe me. “Is this your new tactic to get money from me?” No one believed that the daughter of the Powell family could die because she was too poor to pay the hospital fees. My father did not believe it either. However, when he saw my dead body, the famous actor who hated his daughter actually went insane.
