Jo Ann Pflug 2023

During the eighth month of my pregnancy, I was pushed and fell. This caused me to have a miscarriage. In order to keep me alive, my womb would be removed. Just when I was experiencing excruciating pain, I accidentally overheard the conversation between my husband and the doctor. "Mr. Lawson, Ms. White is actually in stable condition now. Are you sure you want us to remove her womb?" "This is the only way that she will truly love my and Riley's child. Riley and I will never be together, but I'll give everything that I have to our only child. Mandy already has me, isn't that enough?" After hearing their conversation with my own ears, I finally realized that the person that I loved so much was just a liar.

On our fifth anniversary, my fiance, Caleb Alton, mixed up gifts meant for me and someone else. When he pulled out a set of lingerie, he looked flustered and explained that the store had sent the wrong item. The next day, I saw a video posted on social media by his junior colleague, Mia Lawson. The caption read, “He said that old lady of his is out of shape, but I look the sexiest in this.” In the video, she was wearing the same lingerie and lounging seductively in Caleb’s arms. I glanced at the engagement ring identical to the one Caleb wore and decided to call my boss. “Hello, Mr. Farrington. I’ve made up my mind. I can start at the branch office next week.”

Menikahi cinta pertama adalah impian setiap wanita… tapi tidak untukku. Aku menikahi Muhammad Gavin Rusdhan karena sebuah kondisi yang memojokkan ku demi memenuhi wasiat terakhir ayah. Masalahnya, dia sebentar lagi akan menikahi wanita lain—sementara aku terjebak sebagai istri pertama yang tak dianggap. Setiap hari harus bertemu dengannya di kantor, menahan rindu sekaligus sakit hati, membuatku semakin hancur. Apalagi ketika Arwan Kin Dhananjaya, sahabat yang sudah kuanggap kakak sendiri, tiba-tiba mengungkapkan cinta. Belum selesai dengan luka itu, aku kembali terjebak dalam permainan baru: menjadi calon istri pura-pura seorang duda karismatik, direktur utama perusahaan besar sekaligus ayah dari muridku sendiri. Cinta, pengkhianatan, dan rahasia… mampukah aku bertahan dalam pernikahan yang bahkan sejak awal bukan milikku?

Tiga hari setelah satu bulanan anakku, suamiku, Raka, mengatakan bahwa dia harus melakukan perjalanan dinas. Dia meninggalkanku, membuatku menjaga anak kami sendirian. Tiga hari kemudian, aku baru sampai rumah sakit dan melihat teman masa kecil suamiku yang bernama Indah mengunggah foto keluarga. Dia juga menambahkan tulisan di bawah foto yang dia unggah. "Foto liburan bahagia kami bertiga sekeluarga." Aku terkejut saat melihat Raka tersenyum lebar dalam foto itu, jadi aku menuliskan komentar tanda tanya. Dalam hitungan detik, Raka menelepon dengan nada menuduh. "Dia ibu tunggal, aku merasa kasihan karena nggak ada laki-laki yang menjaganya. Aku cuma nemenin dia foto saja, kenapa reaksimu berlebihan sekali?" Malamnya, Indah kembali memamerkan foto kalung emas. "Setelah mengambil foto keluarga, dia maksa ngasih aku kalung emas." Aku tahu bahwa Raka membeli ini agar Indah tidak marah. Namun, kali ini aku berniat meninggalkannya.

“If you think I would not touch you, think again.” His breath fanned her face as he backed her into a corner. What made her think he would restrain himself? “Just because you’re William’s daughter, that means nothing to me. You could warm my bed just fine if you’re going to seduce me with your body like this. Tell me, what would you ask in return?” He bit her earlobe and she whimpered. Melissa Franklin’s dad named his best friend in his will, rather than his only daughter. She can’t have access to her inheritance until she turns 30, which is seven years away. Klyde Henderson, a man twice her age, became her legal guardian. But the man’s respect for her father does not extend to her. In his eyes, she’s a useless brat. Melissa needed to find a way to get her hands on her inheritance. That’s when the seduction games began.

WARNING⚠️: CONTAINS MATURED & EXPLICIT CONTENTS. "I didn’t sign up to be just a nanny to your kids and a sex toy to you!” I screamed. “You have no choice, woman!” Sebastian retorted, “I got married to you for these reasons, and you have to fulfill your responsibilities.” “I should be fulfilling my responsibilities as your wife, not a nanny or a sex toy!” I whimpered. He grabbed my hand, his arm wrapping around my waist. “I don’t care what you have to say, but do not miss the next even day, be at my bed!” I felt his hot breath on my face, my legs shook, like they always have under his touch. “What? You can’t even resist my touch, and you talk about being a sex toy?” He grabbed my cheeks and raised my head to meet his intense gaze. “Tell me you don't love being touched by me!” My whole body trembled. How could I tell him that I loved it, but I just didn’t want to be treated like a sex toy? “Speak!” He shouted, and grabbed my shirt, tearing out the buttons. “Stop me, Olivia!” I stood still, I couldn't stop him. He pulled the shirt off and dropped my skirt to the floor, leaving me only with my bra and panties on. He grabbed my waist and his other hand found it's way into my panties. “Stop me now, Olivia!” His finger slid inside of me, and I cried out, shamelessly. “I don’t want you to stop!” I screamed, grabbing his hand and pushing his fingers in and out of me. I felt embarrassed, but I just couldn’t resist his touch. That was all I was to him; a nanny to his kids, and a sex toy to him.
