Lil Bit

Pada pernikahan tahun keenam, suamiku sudah tidak menyentuhku selama tiga bulan. Dia mengatakan bahwa dirinya sangat kelelahan karena sibuk bekerja. Aku yang merasa kami sudah saling mencintai selama bertahun-tahun pun memercayainya tanpa ragu. Namun, pada hari ulang tahunku, aku malah mendengar teman suamiku bertanya padanya dalam bahasa asing, “Kamu sudah putus hubungan sama selingkuhanmu itu? Sebelumnya, kamu pergi cari dia setiap hari. Entah tubuhmu tahan atau nggak. Apa istrimu nggak keberatan kamu begini?” Suamiku mengembuskan asap rokok, lalu menjawab dengan acuh tak acuh, “Aku sudah nggak sentuh dia selama beberapa bulan. Sallie punya teknik yang bagus. Aku masih belum bosan. Sayangnya, dia hamil. Istriku nggak suka anak. Jadi, aku akan kasih Sallie sejumlah uang dan suruh dia pergi lahirkan anaknya di luar negeri beberapa saat lagi.” Aku mengepalkan tanganku dan diam-diam meneteskan air mata. Suamiku pun bertanya aku kenapa dengan gugup. Namun, aku hanya menggeleng. “Kue buatanmu enak banget. Aku sangat terharu.” Kue itu sangat manis. Namun, aku yang mengerti bahasa asing yang mereka gunakan merasa sangat getir.

'I will give you no time to decide, Amore' Luciano said 'It's either you do it my way, or do it my way. Both ways, it's still my way'. Staring at the man she had stolen from, Amara regrets her actions. If only she had not been too picky, if only she had worked her and not want to make fast money, she won't have gotten into this mess. Now here she is, standing half naked as the man accessed her body. Accessed how useful she would be to his club even if she doesn't know how to strip. A faint gasp escaped her throat as Luciano stood up and walked toward her. She flinched as he brushed stray hair off her face then smirked. 'I see we are doing it my way after all' he muttered 'Someone will get you what to wear, make sure you are not late!'

*****Trigger Warning***** This book contains mature themes, physical, sexual and emotional abuse. My name is Lillian Blackwood. I thought my life was over. I had been beaten down and controlled by my ex both emotionally and physically for years. It was, do or die. Fortunately, I survived, and with therapy and time, I finally started some semblance of a life. The very last thing I was looking for was love. I hate dating, and quite frankly, I'm not a fan of men and who can blame me? I keep a very tight circle of friends, so I was surprised when love pushed and shoved its way into my life. But not all fairytales have happy endings, and my tale certainly gives happiness a run for its money.

Ani pa ng mga taong nakapalibot kay Sereia Lilou Rebeiro, siya na ang pinaka - maamong babae na umaaligid kay Adriel Latimer. Animo’y para siya isang aso na panay sunod ng sunod sa kanyang amo kung saan ito magpunta. Bakit nga ba? Isang araw, nang mag - check - in sa isang mamahaling motel si Adreil ay sinundan niya ito. Hindi siya nag - aalinlangan na kumatok sa pinto na inupahan nito. Mas gusto pa niyang sundin ang kanyang kagustuhan, at ang rason kung bakit siya sumunod? Para lang bigyan ito ng payong dahil sa masamang panahon. Nakatikim siya ng bulyaw dahil lang doon. Sinabihan pa siya ng walang hiya pero wala siyang pakialam. Mas importante sa kanya ang makitang nasa magandang kalagayan ang iniingatan niyang babaero ng campus. Sa kabila ng masama nitong reputasyon sa mga babae, naging bingi at bulag siya. Mas gustuhin pa niya na makasama ito kaysa makinig sa mga haka - haka ng mga tao. Pinadaan lang niya sa kabilang tainga ang naririnig niyang tsismisan, kahit na minsan ay parang may isang palaso na nakatarak sa kanyang puso. Hanggang sa isang gabi, isang katotohanan ang siyang kumakatok sa isipan ni Sereia. Nahinuha na lang niya na ang lalaking inaantay niya ng tatlong taon ay nagbago. Hindi na ito katulad ng dati, na parati siyang inaalo - alo at sinasamahan. Dala ng reyalisasyon, tinalikuran niya ito ng walang pasabi. Imbes na tatahimik na ang buhay niya ay kinukutya pa siya ng mga tao. Ani pa nila'y nagpapakipot lang daw siya. Isa na roon si Adriel. Tingin niya ay gusto lang ni Sereia na suyuin niya ito para bumalik siya sa kandungan nito. Pero napawi ang agam - agam ni Adriel noong isang araw, aksidenteng nahulog ang pitaka ni Sereia. Bumungad sa kanya ang isang litrato ng lalaking minsan na niyang iniiwasan.

"I can try.” I breathe out as I gulp when his grip tightens "Try me.” His hand slides up my throat, his long fingers wrapping tight around my jaw. “That's what you really want?" I nodded, sighing out a shallow yes, and I could see every muscle in his body tense, as he wets his lips; hoarsely murmuring his next sentence like its his last try at making me change my mind. "I'm dangerous, Lilah, this is your last chance." My stomach twists and knots, as I use every ounce of bravery I have. "Prove it then."
