Karma

The scent of pine and damp earth clung to the air as the full moon created long shadows across the Ancient Clearing. Tonight, was supposed to be our marking ceremony, a sacred ritual binding Alpha Anderson and his chosen Luna before the eyes of the Frostmoon Pack. “My heart,” his gaze locked on Leah, who stood under the moonlight “has always belonged to another. My first love, the one whose spirit has been weakened by the venom of wolfsbane, is my Luna.” He drew Leah closer, his hand possessively circling her waist. Under the watchful gaze of the moon, he smiled. “Our traditions are clear,” he continued, “Only the woman who stands with me at this altar, witnessed by all, shall be my Luna. Though I had always thought that Irene was my mate which I mistakenly marked a time ago. But thanks to the goddess for making me see clearly before it was too late.” They exchanged vows beneath the trees, witnessed by the werewolves and the Moon Goddess. The silver crowns were placed, the ceremonial kiss sealed their bond. I stood hidden in the shadows of the surrounding forest. For twelve years, from the moment my wolf recognized his at eighteen until my thirtieth moon cycle, my love for Anderson had never changed. But his heart, it was clear, belonged to Leah. If that was the truth, then I would release him. He had never truly seen me, never truly cared. Yet, the act of my departure seemed to unravel him in ways I couldn’t understand.

On Mother's Day, I was planning to give my mother-in-law a special gift, but to my surprise, I saw her enter a room with a Black man. When she came out half an hour later, her face was flushed…

Pada kehidupan sebelumnya, demi sahabat baikku, abang dan calon suamiku bersekongkol untuk menghancurkan perusahaanku. Ketika melihat aku yang gulung tikar berdiri di tengah hujan deras, mereka berdiri di samping sahabat baikku sembari mentertawakanku. “Rose, kamu seperti seekor anjing saja!” Saat aku membuka mataku kembali, aku kembali ke acara tender proyek pada tiga tahun silam. Awal berdirinya perusahaan pada kehidupan sebelumnya, abang dan calon suamiku memperingatiku. Mereka tidak mengizinkan aku memanfaatkan kekuatan Keluarga Tiara dan Keluarga Qindara. Katanya, perbuatanku tidaklah adil bagi orang lain. Namun di balik itu, mereka justru menggunakan berbagai alasan untuk memberikan proyek kepada sahabat baikku demi mengembalikan senyum manisnya. Saat aku terlahir kembali, aku melihat mereka berdua sama seperti kehidupan sebelumnya, diam-diam mengambil proyek yang seharusnya menjadi milikku kepada sahabat baikku. Akhirnya aku pun telah patah semangat. Sewaktu mereka mengetahui kabar aku hendak ke luar negeri, abang dan calon suamiku memasang kembang api semalaman demi merayakan akhirnya terbebas dari beban sepertiku. Namun pada acara tender Grup Arkava pada tiga tahun berikutnya, aku menggunakan statusku sebagai istri presdir berpidato di atas panggung. Kedua mata mereka berdua malah memerah.

The day that I divorced my third husband, the system told me that I had completely failed my mission. I had married three times in this world and they were all targets that were supposed to fall for me. But every single one of them chose to divorce me because of Wendy Somerfield. The system pitied me for doing my best for the past 30 years, so it asked me to target my son. It said that if my son could confidently choose me, between me and Wendy, then I could live. However, it was no exception that the son I gave birth to after 40 weeks of pregnancy chose Wendy, just like my three ex-husbands. They all even pinned the cause of Wendy's illness on me. My first husband, who was my childhood sweetheart, pretended to be softhearted, but he was actually ruthless. He actually tried to convince me to donate one of my kidneys to Wendy. My second husband, who I met on a blind date, used a scalpel to personally cut open my body. My third husband, who I fell in love with at first sight, even threatened me with my son. While spitting out blood from my mouth, I agreed to their requests with a smile. However, when they saw me being pushed out of the operating room, those people who turned their backs on me went crazy.

Adik angkat suamiku mengajakku keluar makan, tapi saat makan terjadinya gempa bumi. Suamiku selaku seorang pemadam kebakaran di waktu pertama datang menolong kami.

Aku meminta tolong dia untuk menolongku. Tapi dia hanya membiarkan batu besar menimpa patah kakiku. “Anggi sejak kecil banyak penyakit, kalau dia tetap di sini, dia akan mati.” Tapi setelah aku meninggal, dia malah gila.

Orlando and I had been together for ten years. I'd looked after his sick mom, sweating out a fever of my own, and where was he? Knocking back drinks with Rosalind, playing therapist to her broken heart. I swallowed my pride at work, getting chewed out by my boss, while he spent the night companying Rosalind because she had cramps. Then, when I got the news my mom had passed, I tried calling him, desperate for support. But nope—phone off. After a wild goose chase, turns out he was at Rosalind's graduation. That was it. I gave up. But Orlando wouldn't let go. Red-eyed, he begged me for just one more chance.
