Harga Cat Finger Painting

Seven years ago, I ignored my girlfriend's heart-wrenching pleas and ruthlessly severed our relationship. Now, after seven long years, she had risen to the top—and she was back, ready for her wedding. She didn't come home for mere celebration, though. She came for revenge. She obliterated the company my father had spent his entire life building and did not stop until she shattered his leg, forcing him to endure unimaginable pain. It was all so I'd be forced to go to her wedding and beg for forgiveness. But that wasn't enough. She wanted more. She hissed, brandishing a blade, "If Matthew's not here in ten minutes, I'll slice off a finger for every minute he's late." My autistic brother's fingers, the only way he could create art, became a bargaining chip in her sadistic game. Dad's anguished cries filled the air as he pleaded for mercy, but she was not done. She wanted to tear my family apart piece by piece. My mom, fragile and trapped in the haze of Alzheimer's, was next. Her mind, already slipping, crumbled under the relentless torment. She cracked, completely lost to the madness. With tears streaming down his face, Dad said, "My son died the day you left for abroad."

My fiancé leaves me jilted on our wedding day and marries my sister. As I stand there, feeling humiliated, William Sterling gets on one knee before me and asks me to marry him. Everyone in my city knows of him—he's an elite bachelor and every woman's dream. Yet now, he slips a wedding band onto my ring finger and confesses his love for me. "I've always loved you, and I thank the heavens for giving me the chance to spend my life with you." We get married, and he treats me well. Everyone knows that he won't fall for anyone other than me. Everything changes when I accidentally enter his studio in the seventh year of our marriage. I see that he's painted thousands of portraits of my sister, Ivy Winslow. Each one is a tender confession of his love for her. The man I love with all my heart earnestly prays to the heavens and utters his wish. He's willing to sacrifice anything for Ivy to be happy, including his life. It turns out what I thought was seven years of love was nothing but a lie. Ivy is the one he's loved all along. If that's the case, I'll back out. I'll leave in three days, and I hope he and Ivy can be happy together.

"Monster," I smirked to myself as I read the morning paper. If they only knew the truth. I sipped my coffee as I skimmed through the story. They had all the details wrong and the police were idiots.

Pangeran Ibram Al-Ikram terpaksa menjadi Pangeran Makhota Kerajaan Akhtaran. Demi kakaknya, Raja Abram Al-Abrar yang belum juga dikaruniai pewaris dengan sebuah syarat. Ia hanya akan menikah dengan gadis pilihannya dan tidak boleh ada yang berhak mengatur istrinya, termasuk raja. Raja Abram tak punya pilihan dan setuju meski beberapa mentri kerajaan keberatan. Kedamaian kerajaan terusik saat ratu diracuni dan para tabib tidak memiliki penawarnya. Diambang keputusasaan, seorang tabib memberitahukan rumor tanaman langka miliki Ratu Maura dari Kerajaan Dharmajaya. Ibram menyanggupi syarat apapun dari Ratu Maura dengan menyamar sebagai Jendral Harimau Putih utusan kerajaannya. Ratu Maura menambahkan syarat agar jendral menghadiri pertunangan putrinya dengan Pangeran Kerajaan Jaraban. Setidaknya kehadiran jendral yang terkenal itu disegani tamu kerajaan lain dan tidak mengacaukan pertunangan putrinya, Putri Ahana. Pertunangan yang jadi harapan Kerajaan Dharmajaya, justru berubah menjadi kacau karena Ahana yang terkenal dengan kecantikannya terlihat buruk rupa dan langsung ditolak Pangeran Jaraban. Ketika Raja Kerajaan Jaraban berteriak di hadapan semua tamu, siapa yang sudi menikahi putri buruk rupa itu? Jendral Harimau Putih mengatakan dirinya bersedia dan mengejutkan semua orang. "Kau bodoh Jendral, memungut sesuatu yang sudah dibuang putraku," ucapnya angkuh dan para tamu pun tertawa. "Anda lebih bodoh lagi, melepas sesuatu yang berharga saat kesempatan itu ada dalam genggaman kalian. Yang Mulia Ratu Maura, aku Pangeran Ibram Al-Ikram dari Kerajaan Akhtaran meminta izin meminang putrimu, Putri Ahana sebagai satu-satunya istriku," ucapnya seraya membuka topeng harimaunya. Apakah jawaban Ratu Maura? Bersediakah Ahana menjadi istri Pangeran Ibram saat gadis itu dilema, ingin menjadi rakyat biasa atau menyelamatkan harga dirinya? Apakah Ibram akan menarik kata-katanya saat mendengar pengakuan Ahana jika dirinya tidak memiliki agama yang kembali mengejutkan semua orang?

"let me go you bastard!" I screamed at Callan but it just made him enjoy my struggle further. Fucking sicko! "Stop fighting it Anaïs, we're mates and you can't change that" he told me calmly as if he hadn't just asked me to do the one thing that I could never imagine doing. Loving Callan Baraed.. "Let me go Callan!" I screamed at him again. I tried to push him away, I tried to pry my hands away from his deadly hold but it was all in vain. Callan was an Alpha and his strength was unmatched especially to that of mine, a regular pack she-wolf. "Anaïs, you're mine and no power in this entire universe can change that" he whispered in my ear making sparks fly around us, electricity was shooting through my blood as if I'd put my finger inside a power socket. Fucking mate bond! "You're dreaming Callan! We're like the opposite poles of a magnet, we're the last people meant to be together. The goddess made a mistake" I told him. He was the guy I've hated forever and now they're telling me I have to love him? That went against every molecule of my body. "The goddess never makes a mistake and opposites attract princess" he breathed into my ear making me shiver. His words just made me more furious and struggle harder to get away from him. Satisfied with the effects his words had on me, he finally let me go. He gave me one last stupid smirk of his and exited the empty classroom. Ass!

"Danny ,what's wrong?" I asked and he seemed to snap out of his thoughts and smiled as he pointed to the man in front of us. "Mommy, I want a Daddy in a tux." Daniel squealed while pointing his finger at the man and the man turned his attention to him. I was so embarrassed that I drew him to myself and put his hand away. "Danny don't say things like that." I scolded him softly, avoiding eye contact with the man and I wondered if I should apologize until I heard a hearty laugh. "Oh so you want a Daddy in a tux as well?" He asked Daniel, his velvety voice made me stare at him in awe as his face was plastered with an unwavering smile as I watched him as he squatted down to Daniel's level.
