James Clear Atomic Habits

Aku sudah lima tahun menikah dengan James, tetapi tidak ada seorang pun yang tahu aku adalah istrinya. Aku tidak ingin mendapat perlakuan istimewa karena gelar istri pemimpin mafia, sehingga aku menolak untuk mengumumkan pernikahan ini ke publik. Hubungan kami sangat baik dan setiap hari terasa seperti masih berpacaran. Namun, tepat di hari pertamaku mulai bekerja di rumah sakit baru, perasaanku hancur. "Clara, kamu belum tahu ya?" Seorang rekan kerja mendekat dan berbisik dengan misterius, "Katanya pasien baru ini adalah istrinya James, nyonya Keluarga Polin." Aku langsung tertegun. Kalau dia adalah nyonya, aku ini siapa? Kalau anak di kandungannya adalah calon pewaris Keluarga Polin, anak di dalam kandunganku ini apa? Aku memaksakan diriku untuk tetap tenang dan menjaga profesionalisme sebagai dokter selama pemeriksaan kehamilan. Aku tidak membiarkan siapa pun melihat betapa hancurnya diriku. Aku selalu merasa semua ini hanya gosip, bukan nyata. Namun, saat aku mendengar James memanggilnya tuan putri, aku akhirnya mengerti hubungan ini sudah seharusnya berakhir. Dia sudah memiliki tuan putri yang lain, aku pun merestuinya.

When James Chapman and I first got together, I was a regular student while he was one of the most popular guys in school. Five years down the road, I'm still a regular woman. James' attitude toward me has changed drastically, though. He frequently complains about my appearance. I know it's because his true love is back in the country. He misses our fifth anniversary because of her. His true love makes fun of me for being ugly to his face, so he orders me to get cosmetic surgery at her newly opened clinic. He wants me to use my fanbase to make her business boom. "You're so ugly that you'd be the perfect person to prove Barbara's skills… if she can actually make you look better, that is. We're all friends, aren't we? What's wrong with lending her a hand? Stop being so petty!" Barbara Simpson kills me—I die on the operating table in her inhumane clinic. James thinks I go missing because I'm just throwing a tantrum, but he realizes he's wrong when he finds my mangled body in the basement. The diamond ring he put on my finger is still there, too.

(In conquering her I broke her so much that I lost the girl with whom I fell in love with.) *Blurp* I flinch when the book is taken away from me. "I am not going to apologise. I can handle all your tantrums and attitudes but if you utter even a word of protest for this marriage you will see the worst of me. I am a very dangerous man and if you come to know how dangerous I am you will run away. And I am trying hard to not show you that side of me." He cups my face. I got tearful as I remembered his behaviour from earlier. "As I said earlier, I love you. I can do anything for you. I can turn into a man which you desire, I can change my habits, I can change anything and everything for you, the only thing which you have to do is marry me. And we are getting engaged this coming week." More tears started falling from my eyes. He pecks my lips.

By the fifth year of my marriage to James Hill, he began pretending to be his late twin brother, the late Don of the family. With that, he took over all of a Don’s duties and the role of my sister-in-law, Hilary’s husband. Every time after he slept with her, he would cut his arm open, kneel before me, and beg for forgiveness. “Pia, you’re the only woman I’ve ever loved. Once Hilary gives birth to the heir and secures her position, I’ll fake my death and come back for you.” He told me his twin brother had died saving him, so he had to fulfill his brother’s last wish. During the year he pretended to be his brother, James slept with Hilary ninety-nine times. After a full year, Hilary finally gave birth to the family’s heir. I truly believed James would fake his death as promised, then take our son and me away from this bloody life. However, I saw him with Hilary in his arms, teasing the tiny baby she carried. “Hilary, I’ll stay with you and our child until he’s ready to take over as the next Don.” Silently, I wiped my tears and went back to my room to pack my suitcase. My son saw me crying and ran into my arms, gently wiping away my tears with his little hands. “Ma, Aunt Hilary already had her baby. Why isn’t Papa coming home yet?” I placed my clothes into the suitcase as I told him softly, “Because he doesn’t want us anymore. But don’t be sad, sweetheart. I will build us a home.” If James wanted to raise an heir, then I would return to North Atlantis’s most powerful mafia family, take my rightful place as my father’s heir, and become the Godmother of the Mafia.
