Clarence, the Vampire Prince, fell for me the moment he laid eyes on me. And I fell for him just as hard, just as hopelessly. I accepted his Embrace. The whole dark world knew he loved me more than life itself. He branded the rune of our blood bond directly over his heart. That lasted five centuries. Then I got the video from his new blood doll—a human stripper named Seraphina. She was sprawled naked in his lap, fresh bite marks dotting her throat. Using her own blood, she’d painted a crude sigil right beside the sacred rune meant only for me. And my mate had let her. “Clarence says my young blood is the only thing that makes him feel alive anymore,” she purred. “He says you’re a dead fish in bed, darling Molly. Time for the new generation to take over.” I didn't bother to reply. My fingers were steady as I contacted an ancient witch. “I need a glamour,” I said, my voice even and low. “A perfect human shell. One that will hide everything—my scent, my trail. All of it.”

Usiaku 15 tahun saat Ayah dan Ibu akhirnya menemukan aku dari pegunungan terpencil. Melihat tubuhku yang penuh luka dan kekurangan gizi, mereka bersumpah akan menebus semua yang pernah hilang dariku. Ibu berkata aku adalah harta paling berharga milik Keluarga Atmaja. Dia mengganti namaku dari "Ilalang" menjadi "Ratna Atmaja". Ayah berkata, seberapa pun sibuknya dia nanti, setiap hari dia akan pulang untuk makan malam bersamaku, agar aku bisa merasakan kembali arti rumah. Aku pikir, akhirnya aku akan bahagia. Namun sepuluh tahun kemudian, aku malah meninggal di rumah kontrakan yang diberikan oleh adik perempuanku yang palsu itu. Saat itu, anakku berusia tiga tahun. Untuk bersenang-senang, para penculik memberiku tiga kali kesempatan meminta pertolongan. Selama ada seseorang yang mau datang melihatku, mereka akan melepaskan anakku. Kesempatan pertama, aku menelepon Ayah yang tak pernah berhenti mencariku selama 15 tahun. Saat itu dia sedang mengatur para pelayan untuk menyiapkan pesta ulang tahun adik palsuku. Setelah menerima teleponku, dia mengerutkan kening. "Ratna, kamu nggak tahu hari ini ulang tahun adikmu? Jangan bikin sial." Kesempatan kedua, aku menelepon Ibu yang dulu berjanji akan menganggapku sebagai harta paling berharga. Dia memandang penuh sayang ketika adik palsu itu merebut ponsel, lalu menatapku dengan jijik tanpa ditutupi sedikit pun. "Ratna, kalau mau bohong, bisa nggak lebih pintar sedikit? Kalau kamu terus bikin masalah, jangan harap bisa dapat uang hidup untuk bulan depan." Kesempatan ketiga, aku menelepon ayah dari anakku, suami yang dipilih dengan sangat teliti oleh orang tuaku. Dia bilang sedang rapat, setelah itu masih harus memilih hadiah untuk adikku, tidak ada waktu meladeniku bermain drama. Dia juga berkata, kalau aku mau bersikap patuh, minggu depan dia akan mengizinkanku membawa anak pulang untuk makan bersama keluarga. Aku mencium putraku yang gemetar ketakutan di dalam pelukanku, lalu memohon agar mereka memberiku satu kesempatan terakhir, membiarkanku menulis pesan perpisahan. Saat ponsel kembali ke tanganku, aku mengirim dua pesan ke grup keluarga. Satu foto tubuhku yang berlumuran darah. Satu kalimat pendek yang keluar dari lubuk hatiku. [ Aku benar-benar akan mati. Di kehidupan berikutnya, jangan jemput aku pulang lagi. ]
