Julia Quinn

Setelah dipaksa menukar jantung untuk cinta pertama suamiku, aku mati di koridor rumah sakit swasta yang didirikannya sendiri. Saat menjelang ajal, anak lelakiku yang berusia enam tahun menangis dan memohon padanya tiga kali. Pertama, anakku menggandeng tangan ayahnya dan berkata bahwa aku muntah darah. Ayahnya menyeringai dingin dan berkata, "Kali ini akhirnya ada kemajuan, sampai mengajarkan anak untuk berbohong." Lalu menyuruh pengawal mengusir anakku dari kamar. Kedua, anakku menarik lengan bajunya dan berkata bahwa aku sudah mulai mengoceh tak karuan karena menahan sakit. Ayahnya mengerutkan kening dan berkata, "Bukannya hanya mengganti jantung? Kata dokter, tidak akan mati." Pengawal maju dan kembali menyeret anakku keluar dari kamar. Ketiga, anakku merangkak di lantai, menggenggam erat ujung celananya sambil menangis, berkata bahwa aku sudah tidak sadarkan diri. Ayahnya akhirnya marah, mencekik leher anakku dan melemparkannya keluar dari kamar. "Sudah kukatakan, Kiyano tidak akan mati. Jika kamu masih berani mengganggu istirahat Sheilla, pasti akan kulempar kalian berdua keluar dari rumah sakit." Untuk menyelamatkanku, anakku menggadaikan Kalung Penjaga Umur yang paling berharga kepada perawat. "Bibi, aku tidak ingin panjang umur lagi, aku hanya ingin ibuku hidup." Perawat menerima Kalung Penjaga Umur dan bersiap mengatur kamar terakhir untukku. Namun Sheilla, cinta pertama suamiku, menyuruh orang menggendong anjing peliharaannya dan menghalangi depan kamar, lalu berkata, "Maaf ya nak, ayahmu khawatir aku akan bosan tidak bertemu anjing, kamar ini disediakan untuk anjingku."

When she was finally rescued and placed under the care of her real father, her life slowly began to change. But the scars of her past refused to fade. The nightmares still haunted her, pulling her back to the darkness she desperately wanted to escape. And no matter how hard she tried, the dream of living a normal, peaceful life always seemed just out of reach. Because peace, it seemed, was never meant for her. Kristoff and Kenobi Sandoval—two brothers burning with hatred for Mina’s biological mother—decided to make her the target of their rage. Kenobi made it his mission to turn her college life into a nightmare. No matter what she did, no matter how hard she tried to stay out of his way, he always found an excuse to bully and humiliate her. Then there was Kristoff. The complete opposite of his brother. He was her unexpected protector—the one who always stepped in to shield her from Kenobi’s cruelty. But behind his gentle facade was a secret agenda, a hidden motive for getting close. And Mina, once again, finds herself caught in the middle of a game she never wanted to play.

"Anak ko ang nakasalalay dito, Jessa, kaya hindi mo kami masisisi kung gumawa man kami ng bagay na kahit alam naming makakasakit para lang madugtungan ang buhay ni Clyde." Mapait siyang ngumiti. Tinignan niya si Xyrius na nakatingin sa kanya sari-saring emosyon ang nagsasalimbayan sa mga mata nito. Iniiwas niya ang tingin dito at bumaling kay Giselle. "Gusto kitang saktan, kung puwede nga lang patayin kita ngayon." Dumaan ang gulat ang takot sa mga mata ni Giselle. "Pero hindi ko gagawin dahil baka mamaya buntis ka na pala. Baka nakabuo na pala kayo ng asawa ko. Sayang yung sakit na nararamdaman ko kung mawawala lang yung batang magdudugtong sa buhay ni Clyde." Pinunasan niya ang luha niya gamit ang manggas ng damit niya. Saka tumayo ng tuwid. Naglakad siya at ng na sa tapat na siya ni Giselle huminto siya. Hinubad niya ang wedding ring niya at iniabot ang kamay nito saka inilagay roon ang wedding ring niya. "Tutal makapal naman ang mukha mo 'wag ka nang mahiya. Sa iyo na rin itong wedding ring ko. Sayong-sayo na si Xyrius..." aniya dito na ikinagulat nito. Saka niya ito nilagpasan at tinungo ang pinto pero hinabol siya ni Xyrius at pinigilan. Malamig ang mga matang nilingon niya ito. "I'm sorry..." umiiyak na anito. "Ayokong mawala si Clyde pero mas ayokong mawala ka sa buhay ko..." humahagulgol na anito. Hindi niya rin napigilan ang pagpatak ng luha niya. "Isa lang puwede mong piliin at pinili mo siya, X. Anong laban ko ro'n e, anak mo 'yon. Dugo at laman mo 'yon..." Marahan niyang tinanggal ang kamay nito sa braso niya. "Hanggang dito na lang ako... hindi ko na kayang magpatuloy na kasama ka. Goodbye, love... be a good father." Tinapik niya ang balikat nito at tumalikod na siya.

His right hand left his pocket and made its way to my face. He tucked a stray strand of hair behind my ear. He moved even closer, his face a few inches away from mine.
