Alexander Morrison doesn't love me, nor does he love our daughter. The only person he loves is his first love, Charlotte Clarke. To maintain his perfect image in Charlotte's eyes, he only allows our daughter to call him "Uncle Alex". This continues until Charlotte becomes pregnant and goes abroad to marry someone else. Alexander drinks himself into oblivion and finally decides to marry me. When he comes home, our daughter gives him 100 forgiveness coupons. I tell him that once those 100 coupons are used up, I'll take our daughter and leave him forever. He holds us both tightly in his arms, swearing he will never make us sad again. During the initial few years of our secret marriage, he indeed does exceptionally well, as not a single coupon is used. That is, until Charlotte returns to the country with her daughter. Every time he abandons me and our daughter for Charlotte and her child, I tear off one forgiveness coupon. Now, only three coupons remain.

Saat penjahat menyiksa aku hingga mati, aku sudah hamil tiga bulan. Namun suamiku, Marcell Wijaya, seorang detektif paling terkemuka di kota ini, sedang berada di rumah sakit bersama cinta pertamanya, Emilia Nessi, menemani dia menjalani pemeriksaan kesehatan. Tiga hari sebelumnya, ia memintaku menyumbangkan ginjal untuk Emilia. Ketika aku menolak dan mengatakan bahwa aku telah dua bulan mengandung anak kami, tatapannya berubah menjadi dingin. “Berhenti berbohong,” ujarnya dengan suara bergetar sambil menahan marah. “Kamu cuma egois, mau membiarkan Emilia mati.” Ia menghentikan mobil di jalan raya yang gelap. “Keluar,” perintahnya. “Kalau kamu setega itu, pulanglah jalan kaki.” Aku berdiri di kegelapan lalu diculik oleh penjahat yang dendam karena pernah dipenjara oleh Marcell. Ia memotong lidahku. Dengan kepuasan kejam, ia menggunakan ponsel aku untuk menelepon suamiku. Namun jawaban Marcell singkat dan dingin, “Apa pun itu, pemeriksaan kesehatan Emilia lebih penting! Dia butuh aku sekarang.” Penjahat itu tertawa jahat. “Nah, nah… sepertinya detektif hebat itu lebih menghargai hidup mantan cintanya daripada istri sahnya.” Beberapa jam kemudian, ketika Marcell sampai di tempat kejadian, dia ketakutan melihat kekejaman yang diterapkan pada tubuh yang telah dimutilasi. Ia marah dan menyalahkan pembunuh karena terlalu kejam terhadap wanita hamil. Namun ia tak menyadari bahwa tubuh yang dimutilasi di hadapannya adalah istrinya sendiri, aku.

My husband was sterile. Necrospermia, they said. His brother was in a coma and had no partner. Their mother wanted me to sleep with both of them and get knocked up with the family's heir. I refused and applied for a divorce. Ninety-nine times. Ninety-nine failures. Then, I put in the hundredth application. When that failed, I agreed to my mother-in-law's request, holding a pregnancy test result. My husband disagreed. That night, he stopped me before I could sleep with his brother. Harshly, he said, "My mother was just testing you. I can't believe you'd get pregnant with the illegitimate child." I was amused and annoyed. "You're the one who said yes, as long as I could get pregnant with your family's heir."

The day Jasper Carter's terminally ill ex, Natalie Klutz, gave birth, his parents—Josephine and Raymond—hired ten bodyguards to keep me, his actual wife, out of the hospital. But I never showed. Josephine clutched Natalie's hand. "She's not getting near you or the baby." Jasper wiped Natalie's forehead. "Relax. Dad's got men at every door. If Emily shows, we'll toss her." Hours passed. Still no me. Jasper finally let himself breathe. He didn't get what my deal was. He was just granting Natalie's dying wish—to be a mom. The second the nurse handed over the crying baby, he smiled like everything was finally worth it. If I came tomorrow and said sorry, he'd forgive me. Hell, he'd even let me raise the kid. What he didn't know? I had just submitted my paperwork. I'd leave the country, join Doctors Without Borders, and ghost him for good.

Jenny posted a picture of me and her brother, who had an intellectual disability. The caption? "Finally, a happy ending!" The comments were all the same: "Is this your sister-in-law? She’s gorgeous!" I simply replied with a question mark, but Jenny ignored me and responded to someone else instead. "She's kinda my sister-in-law, yes!" It didn't take long for Steven to call me, his tone full of anger. "It was just a little edit, do you really have to blow things out of proportion?" Half an hour later, Jenny posted another photo of her sitting in Steven's luxury car, and even tagged me in it. "We may not be related by blood, but this big brother of mine has always been my rock!" Steven commented. "I'll always be here." I knew he was trying to get a rise on me on purpose to appease Jenny, but I didn't grace them with a reply this time. All I did was like the post and file for divorce.
